Behavioral Intention to Adopt Digital Library by the Undergraduates

The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that affect undergraduates' behavioral intention to use digital library among the private universities in Malaysia. The target respondents are undergraduates from Malaysian private universities. Questionnaires were distributed among 500 undergraduates through either online or face-to-face method. Reliability test, normality test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient analysis, and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) were carried out for data analysis. Performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, habit, and information quality had a positive and significant association with behavioral intention to adopt a digital library except for effort expectancy. This research successfully reinforced that the inspiration to ameliorate Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT 2) by synthesis of Information Systems Success Model (ISSM). This proposed framework with a combination of ISSM and UTAUT 2 has enhanced the fitness of UTAUT 2. Universities that have yet to implement digital library can comprehend undergraduates' needs better by considering all the significant factors to develop a digital library. The universities with the digital library may also notice the important features of the existing digital library that should be maintained and upgraded constantly so that they can fulfil undergraduates' requirements.

城市游客旅游服务感知、满意度与行为意图的影响关系研究

优质的服务质量是旅游目的地参与市场竞争的重要手段,而游客对旅游服务的感知会影响其满意度和行为意图.本文以国内休闲度假城市厦门为案例地,利用因子分析、多元回归方法,探讨游客旅游服务感知维度及其表现,以及各个维度对游客目的地满意度和行为意图的影响.结果显示,厦门市游客旅游服务感知共有 "接待服务"、"公共服务"、"景区服务"和"娱乐服务"四个维度,其中,"接待服务"、"景区服务"和"公共服务"对游客目的地满意度均有显著影响,而只有"公共服务"和"娱乐服务"两个维度对游客的重游行为和口碑传播行为有显著的影响,并且"公共服务"对游客目的地满意度和行为意图的影响作用较大.     

Emotion regulation as a mediator of the relation between sexual abuse and behavior problems in preschoolers

Maltreated children show poor emotion regulation competencies compared to non-maltreated children. Emotion regulation has been found to mediate the association between maltreatment and behavior problems in children. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationships among child sexual abuse (CSA), emotion regulation (ER), and internalized and externalized behavior problems in preschoolers using conditional process analyses. ER competencies were assessed in 127 children aged 41–79 months (62 abused, 65 non-abused) by their parents (N = 124) and early childhood educators (N = 88) using the Emotion Regulation Checklist (Shields and Cicchetti, 1995, Shields and Cicchetti, 1997). Behavior problems were evaluated by parents using the Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach and Rescorla, 2000, Achenbach and Rescorla, 2001). ER was found to completely mediate the relation between CSA and internalized behavior problems and partially mediate the relation between CSA and externalized behavior problems. Parents’ and educators’ evaluations of ER were also found to differ as a function of child gender. The discussion focuses on the relationships among CSA, ER, behavior problems, and child gender. The clinical implications of these findings are also examined. Promoting the optimal development of ER could prevent the emergence and exacerbation of behavior problems in these at-risk children and, in turn, foster resilience.     

“The Courage to Express Myself”: Muslim women's narrative of self-empowerment and personal development through university studies

The purpose of this research is to understand the process of self-empowerment that religious and non-religious Muslim women living in Israel experienced during their university studies. The principal results indicate a narrative of self-empowerment which develops through three stages: (a) awareness of gender regulation; (b) moral resistance; and (c) self-empowerment through university studies. Major study findings reveal that women do indeed undergo a deeply personal process of self-empowerment, which then encourages a growing awareness to their own inner strengths and ability to draw on such power in other aspects of life.     

中小企业集群民间借贷的法律规制

中小企业集群民间借贷存在一定的特殊性,突出表现为具有社会资本的隐形规范优势和风险发生几率高、传染性强的劣势。通过激励性法律规制,维护中小企业集群诚信合作的外部环境,疏导中小企业集群民间借贷行为,以进一步增强中小企业集群开展民间借贷的优势。通过惩罚性法律规制,约束中小企业的失信行为,规范中小企业的违法行为,以进一步弥补中小企业集群民间借贷特殊风险凸显的劣势。     

环境规制与经济增长:基于“两控区”政策的实证研究

以中国258个城市为研究样本,运用双重差分模型,利用1993—2017年城市统计数据分析了“两控区”政策与产业聚集度对经济的影响。研究结果表明:“两控区”政策与产业聚集度对工业总产值均有积极的促进作用,且这种促进作用存在显著的区域异质性;固定资产投资总额对经济增长具有显著的促进作用。因此,要加强环境规制和固定资产的投资力度,从而实现产业聚集、环境规制以及经济增长的共赢局面。     

The effect of goal-setting prompts in a blended learning environment—evidence from a field experiment

Previous literature has shown that task-based goal-setting and distributed learning is beneficial to university-level course performance. We investigate the effects of making these insights salient to students by sending out goal-setting prompts in a blended learning environment with bi-weekly quizzes. The randomized field experiment in a large mandatory economics course shows promising results: the treated students outperform the control group. They are 18.8% (0.20 SD) more likely to pass the exam and earn 6.7% (0.19 SD) more points on the exam. While we cannot causally disentangle the effects of goal-setting from the prompt sent, we observe that treated students use the online learning platform earlier in the semester and attempt more online exercises compared to the control group. The heterogeneity analysis suggests that higher treatment effects are associated with low performance at the beginning of the course.     

环境管制与中国农业全要素生产率增长研究

利用中国省际面板数据,将农业面源污染和碳排放作为"坏产出"指标纳入农业全要素生产率测算中,采用Malmquist-Luenberger指数分析2001—2010年考虑环境因素下中国30个省市区的农业全要素生产率及其分解成分,并探讨考虑环境因素下中国农业全要素生产率演变的影响因素。研究结果表明:考虑环境因素的中国农业全要素生产率呈增长趋势,但表现出较大的波动性,其动力主要来源于技术进步;从地区差异来看,考虑环境因素下中国农业全要素生产率呈现东、中、西部地区依次递减;农村经济发展水平、农业产业结构变动、农业基础设施投资对考虑环境因素下中国农业全要素生产率有显著影响,而环境管制影响则不显著。     

中美欧内部数字治理格局比较研究

考察各国内部的数字治理格局,在认清现状的基础上,厘清其各自的内在生成逻辑,对于中国更好参与国际数字化发展而言至关重要。文章利用数字生态视角对中国、美国、欧盟（以下简称“中美欧”）内部数字治理格局进行了比较研究,试图阐明中美欧各自的数字生态发展模式,并分析发展模式与其数字规制体系之间的关系。研究发现,美国形成全要素领先的发展模式及以鼓励创新为核心的规制体系;欧盟国家多元的发展模式影响欧盟层面形成了以市场建构为核心的规制体系;中国的发展模式表现出应用驱动的特征,规制体系以发展与安全为双核心。文章据此对中国如何优化调整自身数字规制体系,转型升级自身数字生态发展模式提出建议。
