Therefore, education of sociologists requires, among other things, training in statistical methods applicable in data processing and analysis in sociological research. Then the research continues with a comparative analysis of the curricula of undergraduate academic studies of sociology, and especially the presence of statistics teaching in them, in the Republic of Serbia and the neighbouring countries. Different programs of the Department of Sociology of the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad are analyzed together with the results of the students＇ evaluations for the academic years 2007/2008 and 2009/2010.展开更多

In the past 30 years, its research methods have been the focus of debate in regard to its academic direction, academic position, and academic path. These three ＂academic problems＂ should be paid attention because they not only sustain our current research and construction of Music Iconography＇s future and destiny, but also become major theoretical and practical issues. The author advocates that the academic direction should maintain highly consistent with the reality of China, as well as the academic practice. In order to guarantee the academic direction and academic position, we should adopt the academic path from these two aspects： ＂the horizontal logic＂ and ＂the longitudinal logic＂展开更多

In com- plete market, Black-Scholes-Merton theory has been central to the development of financial engineering as both discipline and profession. However, in incomplete market, there are not any replicating port- folios for those options, and thus, the market traders cannot apply the law of one price for obtaining a unique solution. Fortunately, the authors can get a fair price via local-equilibrium principle. In this paper, the authors apply the stochastic control theory to price the exotic option-barrier options, and analyze the relationship between the price and the current positions. The authors get the explicit expression for the market price of the risk. The position effect plays a significant role in option pricing, because it can tell the trader how many and which direction to trade with the market in order to reach the local equilibrium with the market.展开更多
