Migration Pessimism and the Subjective Well‐Being of Migrant Households in Mexico

A new migration pessimism argues that the economic benefits of international labour migration for migrant households may not justify the social costs. This article provides a test of this argument based on the author's survey of 304 households in Jerez municipio (municipality), Zacatecas, Mexico, in 2009. The results indicate that active households (those with at least one migrant abroad) perceived their economic situation to have improved more, but both their social cohesion and their happiness to be less than those of non‐active households. Social cohesion (family unity and maintenance of values) is shown to be pivotal in the happiness differential enjoyed by the non‐active households.     

Position Effect on Facial Soft Tissue Depths: A Sonographic Investigation

The head is positioned erect for an approximation; yet most facial soft tissue depths (FSTD) used are measured from supine subjects. Depth difference might be significant, but there is a paucity of data to verify. This study compared erect and supine values for 17 landmarks from 30 healthy New Zealand (European population affinity) women (18–30 or 40–55 years) in erect then supine positions. Height, weight, and sonographic FSTD data, totaling 1020 measurements, were obtained. Three midline and seven averaged bilateral values were compared using ANOVA, p values, and Pearson's correlations. Correlative strength of age and body mass index, BMI (kg/m²), was determined by values. Results showed averaged erect and supine differences were significant for four of ten FSTDs. Between individuals, difference was various and not unidirectional. In conclusion, depth differences were observed but not all significant or unidirectional, BMI significantly influenced nine FSTD values, but age group did not.     

政府绩效评估指标设计的开发思路

政府绩效评估指标设计在整个政府绩效评估过程中居于核心地位,指标设计应遵循业绩指标与通用指标相结合、定性指标和定量指标相结合、传统指标与现代指标相结合、正数指标与负数指标相结合、基本指标与修正指标相结合、过程指标与结果指标相结合的开发思路。     

Procedural Justice,Outcome Favorability and Emotion

This study investigated the effects of procedural justice on discrete emotional responses. Based upon the cognitive appraisal model of emotion, it was argued that the experience of procedural justice (or injustice) allows individuals to derive meaning from favorable and unfavorable allocation decisions. Thus, procedural justice works with outcome favorability to produce a variety of emotional states. These ideas were tested in a laboratory experiment. As predicted, two happiness-related emotions (happiness and joy) and a sadness-related emotion (disappointment) showed only a main effect for outcome favorability. Two anger-related emotions (anger and frustration) were highest when an unfavorable outcome occurred because of an unfair procedure. Higher levels of guilt and anxiety were reported when an unfair procedure resulted in a favorable outcome. Contrary to predictions, a third happiness-related emotion (pride) showed only a main effect for outcome favorability.     

论幸福与教育目的

教育作为人类的一项伟大事业,其目的与幸福紧密相连。但两者并不等同,幸福不是也不应是教育目的。幸福需要教育,教育目的的实现是实现幸福的重要条件;教育关注幸福,以幸福为指标衡量其目的的实现,但教育并不刻意追求幸福。

试论我国高校辅导员队伍建设的幸福向度

高校辅导员作为大学生思想政治教育的主要实施者,其幸福指数的高低,不仅仅关涉辅导员自身,影响高校思想政治教育的效果,而且关系到国家和民族的长远发展。科学幸福观认为"幸福是个体物质的实现与精神的实现的统一、自我实现与无私奉献的统一、享受和创造的统一"。关注当前高校辅导员队伍建设的幸福向度,不仅有助于"以人为本"思维前提的奠定、良好合作型组织环境的营造、职业认可度的提升,而且有助于提高辅导员的职业幸福能力,从而实现"生活方式"对"谋生手段"的超越,使高校辅导员真正担当起大学生人生导师的历史重任,为社会主义事业培养合格建设者和可靠接班人。

Beyond the Z-score: A novel measure of bank stability for effective policymaking

This article looks beyond Z-score and proposes a novel methodological framework to build an all-encompassing indicator of bank stability for individual banks using the optimisation-based ‘benefit-of-the-doubt (BoD)’ approach. Unlike other available approaches, this approach is totally data-driven and generates endogenous weights to aggregate sub-indicators of bank stability and dimensions. Further, the final outcomes are not limited to a scalar measure of bank stability. The unique optimal weights offer valuable policy-relevant insights and highlight the most precarious areas of stability, which demand the immediate attention of the bank's management and the industry regulators for both micro-and macro-level policymaking. Using the data of Indian public sector banks operating in the year 2018, the study illustrates the proposed framework to obtain a holistic indicator of bank stability, defined on 14 ratio sub-indicators and 5 broad dimensions (soundness, asset quality, profitability, management efficiency, and liquidity) of bank stability.
