全球化与民族文化的多样性探析

全球化是一个历史范畴,是世界各国各地区的经济、政治、文化等领域超越国界、扩大联系的历史进程和历史趋势。全球化加速了强势文化的扩张和弱势文化的萎缩,各种文化在融合的过程中趋同,全球化不断吞噬文化多元性。因此从对全球化、文化、文化的多样性及民族文化的概念界定,探析全球化对民族文化的影响及冲击。     

关于我国发展农业循环经济的思考

农业是国民经济的基础,我国农业资源总量虽然较大,但人均占有量少。传统的掠夺性的农业发展模式对我国农业的可持续发展产生了巨大的压力。发展农业循环经济是我国实现农业经济的可持续发展的必然选择。     

儒家学说与社会主义的和解？

本文认为把社会主义传统和儒家传统结合起来的左派儒学在中国大陆最有发展前途。作者简要概述了传统的社会主义价值观以及它们如何与一些“儒学”特征结合起来,以厘清“左派儒学”的轮廓,如独立的社会和政治批评、关心弱势群体、关心基本的物质生活、和陌生人的团结、全球正义和宗教宽容等。在文章最后,作者还探讨了儒学的普遍性和走向世界的困难。

The endogeneity of the natural rate of growth – an empirical study for Latin‐American countries

The aim of this paper is to analyse the sensitivity of the natural rate of growth to the actual rate of growth for a sample of 11 Latin‐American countries, assuming the natural rate to be determined endogenously by changes in the actual rate of growth. The natural rates of growth are estimated in a system of SUR estimations over the period 1986–2003. In order to determine whether they react endogenously to changes in the actual rate of growth, a dummy variable for boom periods is added to the system of regressions. The results confirm the hypothesis about the endogeneity of the natural rate of growth.     

Where can obesity management policy make the largest impact? Evaluating sub-populations through a microsimulation approach

Background: There is a critical need to focus limited resources on sub-groups of patients with obesity where we expect the largest return on investment. This paper identifies patient sub-groups where an investment may result in larger positive economic and health outcomes.

Methods: The baseline population with obesity was derived from a public survey database and divided into sub-populations defined by demographics and disease status. In 2016, a validated model was used to simulate the incidence of diabetes, absenteeism, and direct medical cost in five care settings. Research findings were derived from the difference in population outcomes with and without weight loss over 15 years. Modeled weight loss scenarios included initial 5% or 12% reduction in body mass index followed by a gradual weight regain. Additional simulations were conducted to show alternative outcomes from different time courses and maintenance scenarios.

Results: Univariate analyses showed that age 45–64, pre-diabetes, female, or obesity class III are independently predictive of larger savings. After considering the correlation between these factors, multivariate analyses projected young females with obesity class I as the optimal sub-group to control obesity-related medical expenditures. In contrast, the population aged 20–35 with obesity class III will yield the best health outcomes. Also, the sub-group aged 45–54 with obesity class I will produce the biggest productivity improvement. Each additional year of weight loss maintained showed increased financial benefits.

Conclusions: This paper studied the heterogeneity between many sub-populations affected by obesity and recommended different priorities for decision-makers in economic, productivity, and health realms.
