Impact of Cliff and Ord on the Housing and Real Estate Literature

The works of Cliff and Ord have had a major impact on empirical practices in real estate. Cliff and Ord proposed both techniques for detecting as well as modeling spatial dependence. Because the existence of spatial dependence is almost assured in real estate data, their most important contribution was feasible means of estimating spatial models. The full implications of these ideas and the numerous modeling techniques spawned by their seminal works have not been fully explored and provide numerous opportunities for future research.     

Impact of Cliff and Ord (1969, 1981) on Spatial Epidemiology

The influence in spatial epidemiology of the seminar work on autocorrelation by Cliff and Ord is discussed. Quantifying the evidence of spatial clustering was an important step in the development of modern statistical methods for analyzing spatial variations of diseases. Autocorrelation is nowadays mostly accounted for at a latent level within a hierarchical framework to small area disease mapping. The importance of accounting for autocorrelation in geographical correlation studies is also reviewed.

世界遗产:人和遗产的关系变革

纵观1978年以来《世界遗产名录》的变化轨迹,可以清晰地看到世界遗产事业发展所走过的道路:从精英阶层的遗产到平民百姓的遗产;从人类征服自然的杰作到人与自然和谐共生的产物;从单一文化的代表到文化交流和交融的成果;从单点小规模遗产到跨区域跨国境巨尺度遗产;从古代遗产到现代遗产;从静态遗产到活态遗产.这种发展还反映在全社会对遗产关注点的变化,即:从关注遗产点的时代断代到关注遗产点在整个历史进程中的地位、作用及影响;从关注文化到关注文化与自然的互动;从关注物质遗产到关注物质与非物质遗产共生:从关注物质遗存到关注物质遗存与社会和人的关系;从关注利益相关者的权益到关注全民参与保护,保护惠及民生的实践.这种认识上的发展体现了"以人为本"的精神,也体现出遗产保护与当地社会发展的和谐共进.     

Investments in Scientific Research: Examining the Funding Threshold Effects on Scientific Collaboration and Variation by Academic Discipline

This paper seeks to examine how federal financial support of academic scientists shapes their collaborative behavior. More specifically, it investigates two questions: (i) are there threshold sizes of federal grants that have effects on collaboration? and (ii) do the threshold sizes differ by discipline? To test and model these questions, this paper uses data collected in a 2004–2005 survey by the Research Valuing Mapping Project (a project based at Georgia Tech and led by Barry Bozeman) of 2,086 academically based research scientists and engineers. The analysis in this paper reaffirms the positive relationship between federal funding and collaboration seen in previous works, but the findings suggest that there is in fact a threshold effect—as the positive relationship has a diminishing influence. The findings of this paper are more limited with respect to how academic disciplines’ threshold levels differ. The results indicate a difference in the threshold levels between disciplines for three of the eight models.

Calculating Confidence Intervals for Regional Economic Impacts of Recreation by Bootstrapping Visitor Expenditures

In this paper I use bootstrap procedures to develop confidence intervals for estimates of total industrial output generated per thousand tourist visits. Mean expenditures from replicated visitor expenditure data included weights to correct for response bias. Impacts were estimated with IMPLAN. Ninety percent interval endpoints were 6 to 16 percent above or below the original sample's point estimate depending on the calculation method. Due to the linearity of input-output a shortcut method that estimates confidence interval endpoints from the distribution of mean expenditure profiles yields nearly identical results.     

Celebrating 30 years of feminist geographies in the German-speaking countries Germany,Switzerland* and Austria

Abstract

In this paper, we present the development of feminist geographies in the three German-speaking countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Since the emergence of feminist approaches in German-speaking geography in the 1980s, feminist geographers situated in these countries have worked closely together within the context of the Working Group “Geography and Gender”. The overview highlights cornerstones of the development of feminist geographies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland such as the Feminist Geography Newsletter (Feministisches GeoRundMail), the Doreen Massey Reading Weekends, the feminist geography student meetings (Feministisches Geograph_innentreffen) and the current DFG-research network “Feminist Geographies of the New Materialism”. By doing so, we try to appreciate both the historical development of feminist geographies and the current situation in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Highlighting both informal and institutionalized pillars of feminist geographies in these countries, we show how feminist geographies have moved from a marginalized position towards a vibrant field that gains more and more attention within the German-speaking geography community as a whole.     

国博近年征集入藏的商代青铜器

我国古代的青铜冶炼技术在殷商时期达到了顶峰,商代的青铜器,正如甲骨文一样,成为商代文化的标志与象征之一,减如李济所说,殷商时代实乃中国青铜文化鼎盛时期的一座巅峰。青铜器上的铭文,也为研究商代历史提供了以文字为媒介的第一手史料,其在考古学与历史学中的价值,自不待言。     

开封城墙的历史沿革及其影响

一　城墙的历史沿革开封城墙始建于唐德宗建中二年 (781 )。时任永平军节度使兼汴州刺史的李勉自宋州来汴州 ,对南北朝时的汴州城进行了大规模的“重筑”(明·李濂 :《汴京遗迹志》卷之一《宋京城》) ,这次重筑又被称之为“筑罗城”(《太平寰宇记》卷一《东京·开封府》) 。主要是将汴州城的南壁往南扩充 ,把汴河围入城内。贞元十四年 (798)董晋接任宣武军节度使后 ,又增筑了两个水门 ,汴州城得以完备。这次重筑之规模是较大的 ,周回达 2 0里 1 5 5步 (周宝珠 :《宋代东京研究》,河南大学出版社 ,1992年 ) ,奠定了今日开封城墙的基础。五代 …

试论朝鲜半岛民族主义的特性及影响

历史已经证明,作为一种强大的思想和运动,民族主义具有神话般的建构和解构能力：它不仅可以创建一个新的民族国家,而且还能冲破国家主权的控制,导致民族国家的解体或融合。朝鲜半岛民族主义之强烈是一个不争的事实。半个多世纪以来,朝鲜半岛南、北两国都宣称致力于朝鲜民族统一,但至今未果。本文力图通过探究朝鲜半岛民族主义所具有的三大特性——反抗性、分裂性和精英主义——来揭示朝鲜半岛民族主义在朝鲜民族分裂和统一进程中的矛盾角色。
