Comparing cumulative index and factor analytic approaches to measuring maltreatment in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health

Child maltreatment is a complex and multifaceted construct in need of advanced statistical techniques to improve its measurement. The current study compared the predictive utility of a cumulative index to a factor analytic approach for constructing a measure of maltreatment. Data were from Waves III and IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Wave III: n = 14,800; Wave IV: n = 12,288). As adults, participants retrospectively reported on their childhood experiences of physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical neglect, supervisory neglect, and social services investigations. Both the cumulative index and a two-factor solution showed evidence of convergent validity, predicting lifetime incidence of homelessness, being paid for sex, and various measures of running away or living apart from biological parents, and prospectively predicting depression, substance use, and criminal behavior. The latent variables, derived from a factor analytic approach, had greater explanatory power for many outcomes compared to the cumulative index, even when controlling for sociodemographic variables. Results suggest that factor analysis is a better methodology than a cumulative index for measuring maltreatment in large datasets when explanatory power for external outcomes is of greatest concern.     

略述唐代营州的经济

营州是唐王朝在东北地区的重镇,是东北地区的政治、军事、经济中心.营州农业发展并不落后,先进生产工具的使用,促进了营州农业的深耕细作,扩大了耕地面积,促进了营州农业的发展.营州地区多民族杂居生活,畜牧业比较发达,尤以养马业最为兴盛.营州的手工业以制陶业为主.唐代营州商业发展很快,商品经济在社会经济生活中占有相当重要的地位,营州与西方国家有着频繁的贸易往来.唐王朝发展经济的政策和营州重要的地理位置客观上推动了营州经济的发展.朝阳地区出土的唐代文物,为我们研究营州经济提供了丰富的实物资料.     

全民阅读时代我国公共图书馆建设区域分布态势研究——基于空间计量模型的实证分析

文章基于2010—2018年中国31个省(未包括香港、澳门特别行政区和台湾地区)的面板数据进行探索性分析,并构建空间计量模型以检验公共图书馆机构数、藏书量以及人均占有量在空间分布上存在明显差异。最后,在"全民阅读"国家发展战略指导下,根据我国公共图书馆的空间分布特征,建议从四种维度创设新型公共图书馆。     

基于Web2.0的信息有序结构及其测度研究

有序结构在Web2.0中有着新的表现形式,它包含了由他组织过程所生成的静态有序结构以及由自组织过程所生成的动态有序结构两种类型,这些结构的表现形式都是由其对应的控制规则所决定的。一种结构的有序程度,是以用户体验的感受程度为标准的。通过对已有的可用的有序性测度方法的比较分析,笔者指出了其各自的适应范围,并阐述了作为有序度测度发展趋势的用户体验测试方法。

The Path of Least Resistance: Using Available Tools to Support the E-Resources Lifecycle

On the surface, it might appear that libraries with different collections, staffing levels, and budgets would have to make use of different tools to address their e-resource management needs. However, in their review of electronic resources lifecycle work at North Carolina State University and Georgia Perimeter College, Tessa Minchew and Sofia Slutskaya discovered that this is not always the case. The presenters reviewed the electronic resources lifecycle and three distinct types of tools (content management systems/wikis, Microsoft Access, and Trello) that are being used in different ways to address different lifecycle-related tasks at each of their institutions.     

英语不定冠词用法浅析

英语不定冠词在英语中使用率很高,英语名词中的可数和不可数特点使中国的英语初学者难以掌握不定冠词的用法。英语的不可数名词不能冠以不定冠词,但当不可数名词受到形容词或介词短语的修饰或限定时却变成可数名词,因而可以受到不定冠词的修饰,表示某种个别的或特殊的情况。     

阅读能力的内涵与测试

阅读是获取语言知识直接，最有效的方法，阅读能力则是衡量掌握语言综合能力的一项重要标志，对于英语教师和测试工作来说，理解阅读能力的内涵及其与测试之间的关系，科学地，有效地测试学习的英语阅读能力，对于提高课堂教学的效率和学习的兴趣，公平，客观地衡量，检测教学效果是非常重要的。
