The “People” Aspect of Destination Attachment in International Tourism

The majority of research on place attachment has been conducted within a domestic context where local culture is fairly familiar to the visitor. International tourism research has begun to address destination attachment, but has not yet fully explored the concept where the people and the culture are substantially different. This research used in-depth qualitative interviews with international visitors to Thailand to examine the role of local people in destination attachment. Results show that one of the main attributes of international visitors’ attachment is the Thai people. A follow-on survey confirmed that “people attachment” is an integral part of the measurement of destination attachment.

中国残疾人补贴现状分析及制度设计思路

对残疾人这一具有独特身心特征的人群进行补贴是残疾人社会保障制度中的重要内容之一。本研究通过回顾国际残疾人补贴制度的发展沿革,分析我国当前补贴制度下残疾人的收益,探讨了在中国对残疾人进行补贴存在的挑战,并对如何进行补贴制度的设计,使其更具操作性提出尝试性思路:即在全社会提升尊重残疾人群体平等和尊严的意识;以政府为主导,建立多部门合作机制,促进残疾人补贴的有效性;建立多元化分层补贴制度以"稳"和"恒"为原则加强残疾人补贴制度的稳定性和持续性。     

Sense-making of risk and role-taking emotions: how young Swedes construe road traffic risk

The aim of this study is to improve our understanding of how young people make sense of traffic risk. The study also aims to contribute to current theory by refining the concept of ‘sense-making of risk’. The focus is to explore, empirically as well as theoretically, how role-taking emotions can contribute to this particular area of research. In order to chart both the sense-making of social interaction and the respondents’ subjective sense of traffic risk, the present study used both in-depth interviews and focus group interviews: the in-depth interviews comprised a total of 11 interviews with as many interviewees, while a total of 36 people were included in the eight focus group interviews. All interviewees were Swedish residents aged between 16 and 20. It is found that by adopting the perspective afforded by theory of emotion, it is possible to deepen our knowledge of individual sense-making of risk. Both primary emotions and role-taking emotions seem to be central to how young Swedes form their understanding of traffic risk. A focus on role-taking emotions reveals the value of indirect social interaction for the individual’s sense-making of risk in general, and adds to our knowledge of the individual’s sense-making of traffic risk in particular.     

Debate: Would outcome costing and integrated reporting link resources to strategy in the public sector?

This paper explores how three local authorities in England have tried to facilitate personalized home care for older people through changes in commissioning and market development activities; and how these changes have been experienced by support planners and home care agency managers. Overall, it appears that changes are well intended, but the practicalities of implementing them raise some challenges that mean desired objectives may not always be achieved.     

The consequences of managerial indiscretions: Sex,lies, and firm value

Personal managerial indiscretions are separate from a firm's business activities but provide information about the manager's integrity. Consequently, they could affect counterparties’ trust in the firm and the firm's value and operations. We find that companies of accused executives experience significant wealth deterioration, reduced operating margins, and lost business partners. Indiscretions are also associated with an increased probability of unrelated shareholder-initiated lawsuits, Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission investigations, and managed earnings. Further, chief executive officers and boards face labor market consequences, including forced turnover, pay cuts, and lower shareholder votes at re-election. Indiscretions occur more often at poorly governed firms where disciplinary turnover is less likely.     

与收入相关的健康不平等的动态变化与分解——以我国中老年群体为例

本文首先创新性地将衡量健康不平等的Erreygers指数分解为收入增长效应、收入分布效应、收入流动效应和人群老化效应;然后采用2011年和2013年两期CHARLS基线调查微观数据,以中老年群体为研究对象,通过混合区间回归模型估计健康与收入和非收入变量的关系;在此基础上得到全样本和各特征人群的Erreygers指数,并对与收入相关的健康不平等的动态变化进行分解。结果表明:(1)中老年群体存在亲富的健康不平等,且亲富程度正在加剧;女性和沿海农村地区人群的健康不平等程度相对较高;(2)健康不平等问题的加剧主要源于收入增长效应和收入分布效应,收入流动效应可在一定程度上缓解健康不平等程度,人群老化效应的缓解作用则相当微弱;(3)与农村的负向效应不同,城市人群的收入增长效应和收入流动效应均在不同程度上加剧了健康的亲富不平等。     

内蒙古牧区社会保障问题研究——以西乌珠穆沁旗为例

内蒙古牧民基本养老保险制度和医疗保险制度的确立在一定程度上解决了老年牧民的后顾之忧,它的实行是改革开放成果惠及人民群众的体现,但内蒙古牧区有别于传统意义上的农村,农村社会保障体系在此并不完全适用。因此,有关部门在设计好相关制度的同时,应加大对贫困地区和贫困牧民的财政支持力度;大力宣传牧民养老保险制度和基本医疗合作保险制度的宣传,提高牧民的保险意识;扩大蒙医蒙药的覆盖范围。
