Who cares about Reddit? Historical institutionalism and the fight against the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT Intellectual Property Act

In May 2011, the PROTECT Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) was introduced to the United States Senate boasting 31 sponsors from both the Democratic and Republican Party. By January 2012 PIPA, along with counterpart in the House of Representatives known as the Stop Online Piracy Act was indefinitely shelved. Many have attributed this dramatic shift to the widespread backlash against the bills from online activists. The case thus suggests that the Internet has emerged as a powerful tool in allowing ordinary citizens to displace the entrenched power of special interests groups. However, given the role of activists and their rhetorical framing strategies in the defeat of the bills, the case also has theoretical implications for historical institutionalism. Namely, how can historical institutionalism, which favours institutions over agency, especially when explaining continuity, account for this? Can historical institutionalism account for agency, institutions, continuity and change in a unified way? This article responds in two ways. First, it argues that internet companies, not activists, were crucial in explaining the defeat of the bills. Second, it argues, it proposes a unified historical institutionalist approach to research, capable of explaining agency within institutions in institutional continuity and change.     

The education of the socialist core value in college and The ecological compensation

新媒体以时尚潮流、高科技等商业包装形式持续地向大学生灌输西方社会文化价值观，与国内官方、高校争夺话语权，形成对主流文化意识形态的冲击。大学生追求公平正义、诚信不欺的信念，社会主义核心价值观在他们的价值观中居于中心地位。要建立生态补偿机制，维护文化意识形态安全；加强理性引导，推进问政制度建设；发挥情感动员的积极影响，推进大学生网络参与的良性发展，这是推进高校社会主义核心价值观教育的有效途径。

The SR Periodicals Miscellany

Abstract

Libraries play a crucial role in identifying, organizing, classifying, and delivering access to useful information at the point of need including information that is otherwise freely available online. A new classification system for free electronic resources called Scholarship, Persistence, Entity, Compatibility, and Convenience (SPECC) can help library personnel determine whether specific free electronic resources should be made available through their libraries. SPECC is not intended to be used as the only means of evaluating free electronic resources for collection development purposes, but SPECC does broadly categorize most free electronic resources and can save time and money.     

信息沟通技术与母职 一项关于香港菲佣的实证研究(英文)

随着全球化的发展和跨国移民的增多，跨国母亲已经成为家庭研究和性别研究的重要课题之一。香港的菲律宾家庭佣工，作为香港一个庞大的跨国母亲群体，近年来也引起了学术界广泛的关注。本文探讨香港的菲佣，作为跨国母亲，如何利用现代化的信息沟通技术（手机和因特网）重新建构她们的母职。本文基于笔者于2010年在香港进行的定性研究获得的资料，从两个层面探讨现代化信息沟通技术与母职建构之间的关系：（1）香港的菲佣如何利用手机和因特网所带来的便利沟通为他们远在菲律宾的孩子提供情感支持和帮助；（2）香港的菲佣如何利用现代化信息沟通技术教育并指导孩子的成长与发展。通过比较信息沟通技术在香港普及前后菲佣的母职建构方式，我们发现，频繁且便利的远程通讯使得跨国母亲们能够克服地理隔绝带来的不便，为她们的孩子建构一种母亲的‘虚拟在场’。通过这种‘虚拟在场’，跨国母亲们从情感和道德两个层面履行其母亲职责。在情感层面，菲佣们利用手机和因特网传达她们对孩子的关心和问候、为生病的孩子提供情感支持、并且为孩子们解决实际的问题；在道德和教育层面，菲佣们利用现代沟通技术指导孩子的功课、帮助他们养成良好的生活习惯，并对孩子们的一些不良行为进行教导和规训，不仅重新建构了她们的母职，而且为“母职”一词提供了新的诠释。     

Online Fundraising in the Human Services

SUMMARY

This paper examines emerging possibilities for use of the Internet in human service fundraising. Human service managers must compete for limited funds with their counterparts in educational, religious, health, and other nonprofit organizations. There is enormous potential for raising funds over the Internet; yet, this approach to resource development may not be appropriate or effective in some instances for certain human service agencies. The selection of fundraising approach must be consistent with the organizational context in which it is used. This paper provides examples of cases where use of the Internet may prove to be an effective method for human service fundraising. It also examines cases where use of the Internet may not be a good match for the organizational context, whether in terms of ethics or dollars raised.     

互联网环境下审判公开的限度

随着互联网技术的普及，审判活动对互联网技术的应用已经十分普遍的同时也存在着各种各样的问题。要解决这些问题就必须要明确在互联网上公开审判信息的限度，从而有助于避免在网络环境下隐私权受到更为严重的冲击，以及为实现有效的舆情管理提供依据，同时也有利于避免审判公开流于法制宣传。不过，审判公开并不是要向所有人公开所有的审判信息。根据互联网环境下审判公开的限度之要求，结合审判公开的各类对象的特点，可将审判信息分别向当事人和现场外旁听人员两个体系进行公开。由于这两类对象所获取的审判信息的完整性不需要等同，因此在遵守绝对不公开审理和相对不公开审理的相关规定的前提下，需要将审判信息有层次地公开。

Motivation for and use of social networking sites: Comparisons among college students with and without histories of non-suicidal self-injury

Objective: This research examines potential differences in social network use and motivation for social network use by non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) status. Participants: 367 (73% women; M_age = 20.60) college students were recruited in November–December 2011. Methods: A random sample of 2,500 students was accessed through a university registrar to recruit students interested in an online survey assessing NSSI and various health-related behaviors. Results: Social network use and motivations for social networks did not differ by NSSI status. Conclusions: Results suggest that it is not patterns of use or motivation to use social networks that could lead to concern about online behavior (i.e., behavior increasing risk of future NSSI) among those with NSSI history. Rather, future preventive and intervention efforts should address the NSSI-related content that is available online, since this is unregulated, often explicit, and commonly includes “pro-NSSI” content that may be problematic and increase risk among vulnerable individuals.
