The Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), formed in 2001, turned national attention toward the serious mental health consequences of the country's 20-year internal armed conflict. The TRC prioritized reparations in mental health, using a legal justification that provided victims-survivors of the war with a rights-based framework for demanding that the public sector attend to their mental health needs. Since the majority of victims-survivors come from historically poor, rural, and marginalized populations and have tended to not exercise their right to health for a variety of social, economic, and cultural reasons, framing mental health in terms of rights helps to empower these people to impact the development of appropriate policies in mental health. The authors suggest that this process contributes directly to improving the mental health of this population.
成立于2001年的秘鲁真相与和解委员会(TRC)将全国的注意力转向了该国20年内部武装冲突造成的严重心理健康后果。TRC将精神健康方面的赔偿列为优先事项,其法律理由是为战争受害者-幸存者提供了一个基于权利的框架,要求公共部门关注他们的精神健康需求。由于大多数受害者和幸存者来自历史上贫穷、农村和边缘化的人口,由于各种社会、经济和文化原因,他们往往不行使自己的健康权,因此从权利的角度来界定精神健康有助于增强这些人的权能,使他们能够影响制定适当的精神卫生政策。作者认为,这一过程直接有助于改善这一人群的心理健康。

'Civil' Nuclear Program - Serving the Dual Objectives of Retaining State's Hegemony on Citizens' Basic Energy Needs and Assuring Supply of Weapon Grade Ingredients: A Case Study on India “民用”核项目——服务于维持国家对公民基本能源需求的霸权和保证武器级原料供应的双重目标:以印度为例

Political leaders of ambitious emerging economies of India and China, where the state has not yet reached the maturity stage, prefer nuclear power to other alternative energy sources, as it serves the dual purpose of retaining the state's hegemony on citizens' basic energy needs and assures supply of weapon grade ingredients. In contrast to North America and most of Western Europe, where growth of nuclear power has levelled out for many years, the 'greatest growth in nuclear generation' in the near future is expected in China, Japan, South Korea and India. It would be naive to believe that the political establishments are not aware of the negative consequences of nuclear power. The question may then arise as to why have the emerging economies of India, China, Brazil, etc., aligned themselves with the nuclear establishment without fully exploiting other alternative energy sources? Taking India as a case, this paper analyses secondary data and findings of various previous studies to explore an answer to this question.
印度和中国等雄心勃勃的新兴经济体的政治领导人,在国家尚未达到成熟阶段的情况下,更喜欢核能而不是其他替代能源,因为它具有双重目的,即保持国家对公民基本能源需求的霸权,并确保武器级原料的供应。与核电增长多年来趋于平稳的北美和西欧大部分地区不同,中国、日本、韩国和印度预计将在不久的将来实现“最大的核电增长”。如果认为政治机构不了解核能的负面后果,那就太天真了。那么问题来了,为什么印度、中国、巴西等新兴经济体在没有充分开发其他替代能源的情况下,与核能机构结盟?本文以印度为例,通过分析二手数据和以往各种研究的结果来探索这个问题的答案。

Medicare Part D&Apos;S Effects on Elderly Drug Costs and Utilization 医疗保险D&Apos部分对老年人药品成本和使用的影响
Pub Date : 2008-09-01 DOI: 10.3386/W14326
Jonathan D. Ketcham, K. Simon
We analyze Medicare Part D's net effect on elderly out-of-pocket (OOP) costs and use of prescription drugs using a dataset containing 1.4 billion prescription records from Wolters Kluwer Health (WKH). These data span the period December 2004-December 2007 and include pharmacy customers whose age as of 2007 is greater than 57 years. The outcomes we examine are OOP cost per day's supply of a medication, the days of medication supplied per capita, and the number of individuals filling prescriptions. We compare outcomes before vs. after January 2006, for those over age 66 years vs. for those age 58-64 years, adjusting for the under-reporting of certain cash-only transactions in the WKH data. Our results indicate that from 2005-2007, Part D reduced elderly OOP costs per day's supply of medication by 21.7%, and increased elderly use of prescription drugs by 4.7%, implying a price elasticity of demand of -0.22. These effects occurred primarily during the first year of the program. An age- and time-standardized comparison of our quantity results with previous estimates from Walgreens data shows that our findings are 2.6 times as large. We conclude that Part D lowered elderly patients' OOP costs substantially and increased utilization modestly, and note that in comparing results across studies on this topic, magnitudes may vary substantially due to differences in data and methods.
我们分析了医疗保险D部分对老年人自费(OOP)成本和处方药使用的净影响,使用的数据集包含来自威科集团(WKH)的14亿份处方记录。这些数据涵盖2004年12月至2007年12月期间,包括截至2007年年龄大于57岁的药房客户。我们检查的结果是每天药物供应的OOP成本,人均药物供应的天数和填写处方的个人数量。我们比较了2006年1月之前和之后66岁以上人群和58-64岁人群的结果,并对WKH数据中某些只报现金交易的漏报进行了调整。我们的研究结果表明,2005-2007年,D部分使老年人每天的OOP药物供应成本降低了21.7%,使老年人使用处方药的成本增加了4.7%,这意味着需求的价格弹性为-0.22。这些影响主要发生在项目的第一年。将我们的数量结果与先前沃尔格林数据的估计进行年龄和时间标准化比较后发现,我们的发现是以前的2.6倍。我们得出结论,D部分大幅降低了老年患者的OOP成本,适度提高了使用率,并注意到,在比较关于该主题的研究结果时,由于数据和方法的差异,数值可能会有很大差异。

Dispersal Powers and the Symbolic Role of Anti-Social Behaviour Legislation 权力分散与反社会行为立法的象征作用
Pub Date : 2008-08-22 DOI: 10.1111/j.1468-2230.2008.00714.x
A. Crawford
This article considers the development and use of dispersal powers, introduced by the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003, and situates these within the context of wider legislation and policy initiatives. It explores the ways in which the powers have been interpreted by the courts and implemented by police and local authorities. The article critically analyses the manner in which the powers: introduce ‘public perceptions’ as a justification for police encroachments on civil liberties; conform to a hybrid-type prohibition; constitute a form of preventive exclusion that seeks to govern future behaviour; are part of a wider trend towards discretionary and summary justice; and potentially criminalise young people on the basis of the anxieties that groups congregating in public places may generate amongst others. It is argued that the significance of dispersal orders derives as much from the symbolic messages and communicative properties they express, as from their instrumental capacity to regulate behaviour.
本文考虑了2003年反社会行为法案引入的分散权力的发展和使用,并将其置于更广泛的立法和政策倡议的背景下。它探讨了法院如何解释这些权力,以及警察和地方当局如何执行这些权力。本文批判性地分析了权力的方式:引入“公众观念”作为警察侵犯公民自由的理由;符合混合型禁令;构成一种旨在管理未来行为的预防性排斥形式;是自由裁量和即决司法的更广泛趋势的一部分;并且可能会以在公共场所聚集的人群可能产生的焦虑为基础将年轻人定为犯罪。有人认为,分散顺序的重要性不仅来自它们调节行为的工具能力,还来自它们所表达的符号信息和交际特性。

This paper argues that the skills shortage in the Irish software industry is socially produced by a range of domestic factors, especially the education and training system. It also contends that immigration reinforces rather than resolves skills shortages.

Research and Analysis for Manufactured Housing Foundations: Ground Anchor Verification Testing 人造房屋地基研究与分析:地锚验证试验
Pub Date : 2008-06-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1583091
J. Crandell
The performance of conventional ground anchor assemblies is critical to the overall quality and structural integrity of manufactured housing installations. Consequently, a draft Ground Anchor Assembly Test Protocol (GAATP) has been developed to fulfill the role of a "nationally recognized testing protocol" as required in the Model Manufactured Home Installation Standards. Therefore, it is important that this test protocol is practical and that it produces reliable and repeatable data characterizing the structural performance of ground anchors. This report provides an assessment of the proposed GAATP based on actual implementation of the test protocol with a variety of conventional ground anchor assemblies, test configurations, and site soil conditions. In addition, a new test rig was developed in compliance with the GAATP rig requirements and implemented in this study to facilitate an efficient and repeatable method of ground anchor testing.
传统地锚组件的性能对制造房屋装置的整体质量和结构完整性至关重要。因此,制定了地锚装配测试协议(GAATP)草案,以履行“国家认可的测试协议”的角色,正如模型制造家庭安装标准所要求的那样。因此,重要的是,该测试协议是实用的,它产生可靠和可重复的数据表征地锚的结构性能。本报告根据各种常规地锚组件、测试配置和现场土壤条件的测试协议的实际实施情况,对拟议的GAATP进行了评估。此外,根据GAATP钻机要求,开发了一种新的试验台,并在本研究中实施,以促进有效和可重复的地锚测试方法。

The Impact of Decentralized Data Entry on the Quality of Household Survey Data in Developing Countries: Evidence from a Randomized Experiment in Vietnam 分散数据录入对发展中国家住户调查数据质量的影响:来自越南随机实验的证据
Pub Date : 2008-01-30 DOI: 10.1093/WBER/LHM023
P. Glewwe, Hai-Anh H. Dang
Computers were provided to randomly selected districts participating in a household survey in Vietnam to assess the impact on data quality of entering data within a day or two of completing the interview rather than several weeks later in the provincial capital. Provision of computers had no significant effect on the observed distribution of household expenditures and thus no effect on measured poverty. Provision of computers reduced the mean number of errors per household by 5–23 percent, depending on the type of error. Given the already low rate of errors in the survey, however, the goal of increasing the precision of the estimated mean of a typical variable can be achieved at a much lower cost by slightly increasing the sample size. Provision of additional computers did substantially reduce the time interviewers spent adding up and checking the data in the field, with the value of the time saved close to the cost of purchasing desktop computers.
向参加越南家庭调查的随机选择的地区提供了计算机,以评估在完成访谈后一两天内输入数据而不是在省会几周后输入数据对数据质量的影响。提供计算机对观察到的家庭支出分配没有显著影响,因此对衡量的贫困没有影响。计算机的提供使每户家庭的平均错误数量减少了5 - 23%,这取决于错误的类型。然而,考虑到调查中的错误率已经很低,通过稍微增加样本量,可以以低得多的成本提高典型变量的估计平均值的精度。提供额外的计算机确实大大减少了采访者在实地合计和检查数据所花费的时间,节省下来的时间价值接近于购买台式计算机的费用。

Environmental Munificence: An Analysis of Narco-Trafficking in Colombia (Spanish) 环境慷慨:哥伦比亚毒品贩运分析(西班牙语)
Pub Date : 2007-08-15 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1391030
Isaac de León-Beltrán, Eduardo Salcedo-Albarán
The “environmental munificence” is a concept that allows for explaining the success of the drug traffickers organizations of Colombia. These organizations in Colombia have taken advantage of some dimensions of the environment to increase the volume of drug exports and the business revenue. Some of these dimensions are geographical; others could be seen as economic, political and social. The geographical closeness to the United States, the availability of land for illegal cultivation, the presence of qualified hand labor in the use of violence, the high corruption levels and the inefficiency in the administration of justice, are dimensions that can explain the strengthening of these criminal organizations in the last three decades. According to the evidence, the drug trafficking organizations have actually increased the generosity of the environment. One of the consequences of the strengthening of drug trafficking and the increase of the environmental munificence of drug trafficking is the development of a “criminal cluster”. The concepts of strategic management allow the explaining of some elements of the rationality of the drug trafficking organizations.
“环境慷慨”是一个概念,可以用来解释哥伦比亚毒品贩运组织的成功。哥伦比亚的这些组织利用环境的某些方面来增加毒品出口量和商业收入。其中一些维度是地理上的;其他可以被看作是经济、政治和社会方面的。地理上靠近美国,有土地可用于非法种植,在使用暴力时有合格的手工劳动,腐败程度高,司法行政效率低,这些都是可以解释这些犯罪组织在过去三十年中加强的因素。根据证据,毒品走私组织实际上增加了对环境的慷慨。毒品贩运的加强和毒品贩运对环境的危害的增加所造成的后果之一是形成了一个“犯罪集群”。战略管理的概念可以解释贩毒组织合理性的一些因素。

Book Review - Hubbert's Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage 书评-哈伯特的高峰:即将来临的世界石油短缺
Pub Date : 2007-06-07 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.1525614
A. Slaibi
This book provides a thorough explanation of the origin, exploration, production, and marketing of oil. The author’s goal is to increase awareness (if not an attempt to raise the alarm) that an unprecedented energy crisis is just over the horizon. Kenneth Deffeyes predicted an impending oil crisis by 2004 which will manifest itself by a dramatic increase in oil prices. Does this sound familiar? The few years since this book has been published seem only to provide additional proof that Deffeyes’ prophecies might be correct. The author goes beyond Hubbert’s model; not only does he model current oil production and reserves to forecast an impending peak, but he also geographically and experimentally explains why oil reserves and oil recovery will peak soon and why even generous oil reserve estimates will lead only to a few years’ variation in the expected production peak.
这本书提供了一个彻底的解释,起源,勘探,生产和销售的石油。作者的目的是提高人们的意识(如果不是试图拉响警报的话),一场前所未有的能源危机即将来临。Kenneth Deffeyes预测到2004年石油危机即将来临,这将表现为油价的急剧上涨。这听起来是不是很熟悉?这本书出版后的几年似乎只是提供了更多的证据,证明德法耶斯的预言可能是正确的。作者超越了哈伯特的模式;他不仅通过模拟当前的石油产量和储量来预测即将到来的峰值,而且还从地理上和实验上解释了为什么石油储量和石油采收率将很快达到峰值,以及为什么即使是慷慨的石油储量估计也只会导致预期产量峰值在几年内发生变化。

The author goes beyond Hubbert’s model; not only does he model current oil production and reserves to forecast an impending peak, but he also geographically and experimentally explains why oil reserves and oil recovery will peak soon and why even generous oil reserve estimates will lead only to a few years’ variation in the expected production peak.","PeriodicalId":341058,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Primary Taxonomy (Topic)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129638002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Self-Confidence and Search 自信与探索

Standard search theory assumes that individuals know, with certainty, how they compare to competing searchers in terms of ability. In contrast, we hypothesize that searchers are uncertain about relative ability, with important implications for search behavior. We test our hypotheses in a laboratory experiment. The first main finding is that people are substantially uncertain about whether they are a type with a high or low probability of success, determined by being above or below the median in terms of ability. Self-confidence, defined as an individual’s self-assessed probability of being a high type, is too high (above zero) for many low types, and too low (below 1) for many high types. Second, people update beliefs based on search outcomes. Self-confidence increases or decreases in the right direction, but is less sensitive to new information than predicted by Bayes’ rule. Third, updating affects future search decisions: people are less likely to search as confidence about being a high type falls. Fourth, some search too little, and others search too much, due to wrong beliefs. Fifth, at the end of the experiment a substantial fraction turn down the chance to learn their exact rank. These are overwhelmingly those with low ability, suggesting an aversion to learning that one is one of the worst performers. Given that people are uncertain even in the simple setting of our experiment, our evidence strongly suggests that uncertainty about ability is relevant in more complex, real-world search settings, including search for a job or search for a mate. Focusing on the case of job search, we discuss how our findings can provide a new explanation for various important stylized facts from field evidence.
标准搜索理论假定,个体确切地知道,与竞争对手相比,他们的搜索能力如何。相反,我们假设搜索者对相对能力是不确定的,这对搜索行为有重要的影响。我们在实验室实验中检验我们的假设。第一个主要发现是,人们基本上不确定自己是成功概率高还是低的类型,这是由能力高于或低于中位数决定的。自信,被定义为一个人自我评估成为高类型的可能性,对于许多低类型来说,自信太高(高于零),对于许多高类型来说,自信太低(低于1)。第二,人们根据搜索结果更新信念。自信在正确的方向上增加或减少,但对新信息的敏感度低于贝叶斯规则所预测的。第三,更新会影响未来的搜索决策:当人们对自己是高智商类型的信心下降时,他们不太可能搜索。第四,由于错误的信念,有些人搜索得太少,有些人搜索得太多。第五,在实验结束时,相当一部分人拒绝了了解他们确切排名的机会。这些学生绝大多数都是能力低下的学生,这表明他们不愿意知道自己是表现最差的学生之一。考虑到人们即使在我们实验的简单环境中也不确定,我们的证据强烈表明,对能力的不确定与更复杂的、现实世界的搜索环境有关,包括找工作或找伴侣。以求职为例,我们讨论了我们的发现如何能从现场证据中为各种重要的程式化事实提供新的解释。
