INFORMATIZATION AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: A POLITICAL SCIENCE PERSPECTIVE

In recent years, both academic and policy making circles in the UK have shown a growing interest in the potential uses of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the delivery of government services. Much of the academic literature has been centred around the concept of 'informatization', and it has been suggested that the new technologies are transforming public services. Key theorists in the field of Public Administration have argued that informatization is one of a number of major trends likely to shape public services in the twenty-first century. However, the dominant theoretical approaches within public administration- those rooted in political sciencesuggest that inertia and stability are the norm in the public sector; clearly there is something of a contradiction between these two broad approaches. This paper outlines three political science perspectives that might be used in analysing informatization: the policy networks approach, rational choice and the new institutionalism. Evidence is then drawn from the social security, health care and social care sectors of the British public sector and related to the political science frameworks in order to examine their utility. Not only do these frameworks rightly highlight the incremental nature of change, but they also help to explain important variations in ICT use across the three policy sectors. It is concluded that combining the study of informatization and political science offers a fruitful avenue for future research.

《红楼梦》道家自然精神论

本文把道家自然精神作为一个衡量现实和建设理想社会的价值体系，并以此为研究视角观照《红楼梦》。曹雪芹深刻认识到这个理想社会体系本身存在着自身不可克服的脆弱性，并以文学艺术的方式凸显出来，使得大观园这个道家“自然世界”在纯美之中也夹杂着浓浓的挽歌情调。与前人相比，作者实现了对道家自然精神认识上的超越。显得既有一种对大美的不懈追求，又有一种最终落脚于现实的悲壮。

松辽盆地大安-新肇地区天然气聚集成藏条件研究

分析了大安—新肇地区天然气分布在形式上受构造因素控制而集中在各个鼻状构造的高点或轴部,但不同的鼻状构造上探井天然气显示的不均匀性暗示着本区天然气运聚成藏的复杂性,实际上,控制本区天然气成藏的主要因素是断裂与砂体展布,鼻状构造倾没方向和断裂走向以及砂体变薄与尖灭方向三者的匹配关系决定了本区天然气运聚成藏的难易程度、规模、类型和分布,而断层倾向盘的天然气聚集效应是本区断层控制天然气运聚成藏的重要表现。     

关于科学发现机器的研究

本文阐述了科学发现的两个判据,在知识存贮有劣性原理的基础上,提出了知识存贮不完全性原理,指出存在一类逻辑上具有非放大性,但认识论上具有放大性的演绎发现机器。在休谟问题逻辑学范围内不可解原理的基础上,论证了不存在通用的归纳发现机器,但建立局部合理的、有效的、完备的归纳发现机器是可行的。最后,本文描述了科学发现机器的结构,并在文献的基础上,描述了一种同时具有发生与评价功能的归纳发现机器并论证了它的合理性。

There's more to the picture than meets the eye: Measuring tangible and intangible capital in two marginal communities in rural Denmark

A missing link in economics has been what Veblen in 1908 termed intangible capital. This includes common norms, trust and high levels of cooperative performance. Intangibles are invisible to the eye and not easily measured in quantitative terms. They nevertheless involve visible, socioeconomic outcomes and should therefore rightly be seen as productive, like tangibles. Thus, uneven levels of intangible capital would explain Differential Economic Performance (DEP) between, say, two firms containing exactly the same stock of physical, economic and human capital. Despite this common sense observation, most economists have failed to see that ‘there's more to the picture than meets the eye’, as Neil Young once sang. We use statistical, historical and fieldwork data from two Danish, marginal rural communities both rich on intangible capital. This to show how intangible capital in the form of social, organisational and cultural capital is accumulated and utilised in situ, at the microlevel. We suggest that the difference between these two, very similar communities should be explained in their varying ability to utilise local stocks of tangible and intangible capital. Drawing on seminal ideas from Bourdieu [The forms of capital. In: Richardson, J.G. (Ed.) Handbook of Theory and Research for the Sociology of Education. Greenwood Press, New York, Westport, CT and London, 1986, pp. 241–58] and the DORA project [Bryden, Differential economic performance in rural areas. In: International Conference on Rural Communities and Identities in the Global Millennium. Malpasino University College, Nainamo, BC, Canada, 2000], we want to develop a ‘total capital’ assessment tool for mapping and measuring socioeconomic development in marginal rural communities. In this way, we hope to count in ‘all’ capital as Schultz [Investment in human capital. In: Kiker, B.F. (Ed.) Investment in Human Capital. Columbia, 1971, pp. 3–21] prophesised. This in order to explain what we term Differential Local Development (DLD), where ‘good’, sustainable development is associated with high economic performance and increase in population.

20世纪30年代中国的报刊与科学宣传——以《科学世界》和《科学时报》为例

20世纪30年代,《科学世界》和《科学时报》等报刊为实现科学的普及,提高国人的科学知识水平,对科学进行了不遗余力地宣传和推广。在科学宣传方式上,采取科学歌谣、科学小说等多种形式,积极开辟科学宣传新途径。其科学宣传活动,特别是刊载《科学救国大鼓书》,为近代中国科学知识的普及和国人科学观念的进步创造了有利条件,在一定程度上促进了近代中国思想文化的变革。
