摘要：
This study aimed to develop a Chinese Mental Resilience Scale. A total of 2500 healthy participants, in two representative samples of the Chinese population, were administered the scale. Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and correlation analysis were used to obtain the relevant coefficients and verify the reliability and validity of the scale. Five factors were extracted: willpower, family support, optimism and self-confidence, problem solving, and interpersonal interaction, plus a lying subscale, which together accounted for 54percent of the total variance. The Chinese Mental Resilience Scale demonstrated good psychometric properties. It can be used to evaluate the mental resilience level of general Chinese population.
摘要：
Performance excellence model (PEM) has become an important management pattern for many years in the world. In 2004, China issued two national standards of PEM. But at present, most researches on PEM are based on the static data on some certain time, in this way there lacks systematic research on its dynamic changes features, including the improvement of PEM implementation, the impacts of process improvement towards results improvement, etc. Hence this article conducts a research on the improvements of items' achievement levels of PEM implementation, the relationship between the improvements and items' importance levels, and the impacts of process improvements towards financial results. Through the researches on the Government Quality Award (GQA) recipients in Shandong province and Anhui province, it is found that those recipients have gained improvements with different levels in terms of item's achievement after PEM implementation and the achievement level is in positive correlation with its importance. Besides, under the control of achievement level before PEM import, the improvement rate of achievement is also in positive correlation with its importance. Moreover, the improvement of process helps to improve the financial results and each 1% increase in the process's improvement rate of achievement level per year on average will lead to a 0.605% increase in the annual improvement rate of financial results. Organization's opinion on importance level is different with the PEM criteria. And the point value gap among process categories should be narrowed down. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

摘要：
This article examines the effects of inflation targeting (IT) policy on inflation and output performance. I employ the propensity score matching method for the sample of CEE countries from 1990 to 2010. The evidence suggests that the IT regime does not have a significant effect on the inflation level or the inflation volatility; however, the IT framework can help to increase GDP per capita. The effects on inflation indicators are inconsistent with previous studies. The results are robust to different methodologies.

摘要：
The factor analysis model was used to parsimoniously reduce the number of variables that influence smoking among students to salient factors that cut across continents, race, and sociocultural settings among university students in China. Stratified random sampling and snowball techniques were employed to obtain the sample. A Likert-type questionnaire was used to collect data. The results revealed that of the 39 variables identified to influence smoking, 34 were retained and regrouped in terms of common features they share into 13 salient factors that accounted for 58% of variances in the original variables. The predominant hidden construct was influence by association. The other 12 factors were labeled and ordered as follows: emotional needs, family history, addiction, peer pressure, lack of full realization of the consequences of their action as regards the expense of smoking, social needs, advertisement, psychological needs, self-image, environmental factors, ineffective policies, and underestimation of health risks. Irrespective of regional demarcations, factors that influence smoking initiation and continuous use are same.

摘要：
BACKGROUND: While integrated health care system has been proved an effective way to help improving patient health and system efficiency, the exact behaviour model and motivation approach are not so clear in poor rural areas where health human resources and continuous service provision are urgently needed. To gather solid evidence, we initiated a comprehensive intervention project in Qianjiang District, southwest part of rural China in 2012. And after one-year's pilot, we developed an intervention package of team service, comprehensive pathway and prospective- and performance-based payment system. METHODS: To testify the potential influence of payment interventions, we use clustered randomised controlled trial, 60 clusters are grouped into two treatment groups and one control group to compare the time and group differences. Difference-in-differences model and structural equation modelling will be used to analyse the intervention effects and pathway. The outcomes are: quality of care, disease burden, supplier cooperative behaviour and patient utilisation behaviour and system efficiency. Repeated multivariate variance analysis will be used to statistically examine the outcome differences. DISCUSSION: This is the first trial of its kind to prove the effects and efficiency of integrated care. Though we adopted randomised controlled trial to gather the highest rank of evidence, still the fully randomisation was hard to realise in health policy reform experiment. To compensate, the designer should take efforts on control for the potential confounders as much as possible. With this trial, we assume the effects will come from: (1) improvement on the quality of life through risk factors control and lifestyles change on patient's behaviours; (2) improvement on quality of care through continuous care and coordinated supplier behaviours; (3) improvement on the system efficiency through active interaction between suppliers and patients. CONCLUSION: The integrated care system needs collaborative work from different levels of caregivers. So it is extremely important to consider the supplier cooperative behaviour. In this trial, we introduced payment system to help the delivery system integration through providing financial incentives to motivate people to play their roles. Also, the multidisciplinary team, the multi-institutional pathway and system global budget and pay-for-performance payment system could afford as a solution.

摘要：
Research studies have shown that organisational readiness (OGRD) is a significant antecedent to the adoption and post- implementation success of enterprise resource planning (ERP). However, whether OGRD is associated with factors critical to achieving the implementation of ERP has not been examined. We report an empirical study that examines whether OGRD is associated with four critical success factors (CSFs) known to be critical in helping to achieve effective implementation of ERP projects. These CSFs are project management, business process re-engineering, training and education and system integration. A conceptual model derived from the literature was tested on data collected from 217 organisations using structural equation modelling. The results show that OGRD is significantly and positively associated with all four CSFs. Theoretically, our findings extend knowledge of the relationships among factors considered antecedent to different stages of ERP projects. Managerially, this knowledge can help in better planning, management and control of ERP projects.

摘要：
Inner Mongolia is among the most important regions in terms of contribution to the socio-economic development of China. Furthermore, its grassland is a major ecological barrier for Northern China. The present study evaluates the changes in ecosystem services availability and human wellbeing based on a survey on864 herdsmen of the grassland and 20 governmental officials. The survey provided the following results: (1) The supporting and provisioning services of the grassland have recently declined, thus affecting the herdsmen's wellbeing. The intensity of grazing, coal exploitation and tourism development heavily limits the availability of ecosystem services, among which provisioning ones are perceived as the most important. Below a certain threshold, grazing and mining are likely to promote the improvement of herdsmen's wellbeing, while trespassing that point, the enhancement of the herdsmen's living standards is curbed. (2) The herdsmen's cultural exchange, health conditions and social relations are better now than before; however, the threats on herdsmen's health and safety have increased. (3) A better income is among the most urgent herdsmen's needs. Livestock revenues did not increase at the same rate as the damage to the grassland and human risk exposure did. (4) The governmental ecological compensation policy did not entirely solve the problem of grassland desertification and environmental degradation, although it is also true that the degree of implementation and effectiveness of government policies is related to the still insufficient herdsmen's understanding and acceptance of these policies.

摘要：
Love, sex, and money are the most direct cues involved in the fundamental forms of mate preferences. These fundamental forms are not mutually exclusive but are interrelated. As a result, humans base their mate choices on multiple cues. In this study, 62 undergraduate women (M age = 20.4 yr., SD = 1.4) from China and Japan served as the participants. They performed a variation of the semantic priming task, in which they were instructed to decide by means of a key-press whether the target was human or non-human. The primes were images that portrayed potent evolutionary factors for mate preference (i.e., love, sex, and money), and the manipulation was based on whether the prime and target matched regarding gender, independent of the target decision task (human vs non-human). Participants gave faster responses to male targets than to female targets under priming. The results generally supported the evolutionary premises that assume mate preference is determined by fundamental forms of providing emotional (love), material (money), and fertility support (sex). The money priming effect was stronger in the Chinese women than in the Japanese women, suggesting that social context may influence mate preferences.
