Image consultancy in the United Kingdom: recipe knowledge and recreational employment

A person's image incorporates three principal elements: how you look, sound and present yourself. Alterations in the world of work have increased the importance of image in the work place and have created a demand for a new form of recipe knowledge – impression management. This has encouraged the formation of specialist image consultancy companies, as well as the development of new techniques of image construction and management. This article provides an analysis of the image consultancy industry in the United Kingdom. It explores the geography of the industry, motivations for establishing an image consultancy firm, the networks consultants develop and the methods of client acquisition. The results of a postal survey of image consultants are reported.

基于ZOT理论景区标准化与个性化服务权衡管理

无论对学界还是业界,景区如何对标准化服务与个性化服务进行权衡管理,都是值得探讨的问题。基于ZOT理论,从游客容忍区和服务预期随服务状态变化的角度出发,构建景区标准化与个性化服务权衡管理模型,提出景区应根据游客容忍区上下限不断调整自己的服务状态以影响游客容忍区重心变化的服务权衡管理优化建议,将对景区服务质量的提升起到重要促进作用。     

“一碗水端不平”：领导者宽容差序、职场妒忌及其后果研究

员工犯错时，上级领导可能因差序格局而对不同下属给予不同程度的宽容，出现“一碗水端不平”的现象。领导者的宽容差序造成下属在情感或资源分配上的不平等，为员工之间的社会比较创造了可能。为了揭示领导者宽容差序对员工个体心理和行为的影响，基于社会比较理论，本研究构建了“宽容差序—职场妒忌—行为后果”的平行中介路径模型。通过问卷调研和统计分析，证实了领导者的宽容差序，一方面会增加员工的恶意妒忌，进而引发反生产行为；另一方面会使员工减少善意妒忌，进而减少工作投入。另外，通过间接和总体作用的抽样计算，发现领导者宽容差序总体上会导致员工降低工作投入及增加反生产行为。     

The impact of personality traits on attitude to financial risk

While the effects of emotions on attitudes to investment risk are now well documented, the influence of personality factors has been less researched. This paper examines the role of personality traits in determining financial risk tolerance. Using an extensive survey of UK-based retail investors, we show that personality traits and characteristics are more important than emotions in determining attitude to risk. We also observe that the widely adopted ‘Big Five’ framework is insufficient to characterise this relationship adequately, with significant roles for financial self-efficacy, resilience, and trait anger. Since some of these characteristics can be modified, our findings are suggestive that appropriate training and support for those making financial decisions could lead to better outcomes over the longer term.     

Approximate confidence and tolerance limits for the discrete Pareto distribution for characterizing extremes in count data

Statistical tolerance intervals for discrete distributions are widely employed for assessing the magnitude of discrete characteristics of interest in applications like quality control, environmental monitoring, and the validation of medical devices. For such data problems, characterizing extreme counts or outliers is also of considerable interest. These applications typically use traditional discrete distributions, like the Poisson, binomial, and negative binomial. The discrete Pareto distribution is an alternative yet flexible model for count data that are heavily right‐skewed. Our contribution is the development of statistical tolerance limits for the discrete Pareto distribution as a strategy for characterizing the extremeness of observed counts in the tail. We discuss the coverage probabilities of our procedure in the broader context of known coverage issues for statistical intervals for discrete distributions. We address this issue by applying a bootstrap calibration to the confidence level of the asymptotic confidence interval for the discrete Pareto distribution's parameter. We illustrate our procedure on a dataset involving cyst formation in mice kidneys.

Compendium＇ of Livelihood Economic Theory： Farmer Issue is the fundamental problem of livelihood Economy

民生问题与民生经济是两个概念。民生经济首先应是民生改善经济;民生经济还存在民生逆转,民生被认为出现问题时,民生经济的概念就被第一次狭隘化了;民生经济还是基本民生经济,在这一层次民生经济取得了进一步狭隘的形式。最后,民生经济本质上是包容性经济。现阶段继续把民生与国计、民生与经济隔离的发展方式必须转变。在我国农民最＂大＂、农民最多,农民的民生解决得最不好,农民身上蕴藏着最大的经济发展潜力。所以,归根到底,农民问题是我国民生经济的根本问题。
