深化廉政公积金制度改革辨析——基于江门市试行廉政公积金制度争议的思考

廉政公积金制度不仅有益于突破反腐旧思维,拓展廉政新思路,创设清廉的政治环境,提高反腐工作水平,还能激发民众的参与热情,进一步增强党的执政能力。根据廉政建设经验,针对群众的置疑和专家的建议,确保廉政公积金制度富有成效,至少应在以下三个方面努力：一是实行反腐＂零容忍＂的原则,二是建设民众对廉政的评价体系,三是健全廉政公积金的运作机制。     

制造业投入服务化是否促进了企业数字化转型？

企业数字化转型是企业提高市场竞争力的重要途径,而制造业投入服务化是中国经济转型升级高质量发展的重要方式。使用中国A股上市公司和中国投入产出表数据,考察了2006—2019年制造业投入服务化对企业数字化转型的影响及其机制。研究表明,中国制造业投入服务化对企业数字化转型有显著的促进作用,且通过技术创新和人力资本积累促进了企业数字化转型。异质性分析发现,制造业投入服务化对民营企业和东部地区企业数字化转型的促进作用更大。进一步研究发现,制造业投入服务化对底层技术和应用技术的数字化转型都有显著的促进效应。因此,为充分发挥制造业投入服务化对企业数字化转型的促进作用,中央和地方政府应引导和促进服务业与制造业深度融合发展,制定相关政策为科学研究、技术创新和人才培养创造良好氛围和有利条件。     

交通体系与近代中国区域社会变动 ——胶济铁路与沿线烟草业的发展( 1913—1937)

1898年青岛港的开埠便利了土洋货的进出口,是近代山东经济逐渐融入国际化的表现,而胶济铁路拓宽了青岛港的腹地范围。其沿线美烟的种植结构、生产布局则是对国内外市场对美烟需求做出的反应。胶济铁路作为现代交通方式沟通和促进了美烟的生产、销售两大环节,引起了美烟种植的区域化、专业化和销售的外向型。在近代中国社会转型中这种以路港互动为代表的现代交通网络,对近代区域社会历史进程起到了至关重要的作用。     

论李泽厚的实践美学

李泽厚的实践美学大体上可以分为三个时期:20世纪50—60年代前期为萌芽和初步形成时期;70年代末—80年代前期为发展完善时期;80年代后期至今为深入时期。对实践美学的主要概念和命题,如主体性、积淀、自然的人化、内在自然的人化、新感性、人的自然化等进行梳理及对实践美学的形成、发展和深化过程的知识社会学研究,不仅可以使我们更清晰地把握实践美学作为一种学术理论逐渐形成和发展的历史过程,同时也可以使我们对中国的现代性进程研究多了一个视角———一个现代美学学术史的视角。李泽厚对美学的研究从来不是空中楼阁,不是形而上的纯粹思辨,他的所有的问题都植根于现实生活并力图在此基础上为中国甚至整个人类、为每个个体幸福生活寻找出一个方向。李泽厚的实践美学不仅从美学上提出了一系列有价值的命题和学说,而对中国的现代性启蒙产生了重要作用并且必将对新世纪中国社会的精神文化建设发挥重要作用。     

Legitimate concerns about industry involvement in gambling research: response to Delfabbro and King (2017)

This paper provides a response to the commentary by Delfabbro and King (2017), which describes major criticisms of articles situated in a ‘political economy’ conceptual framework. The current paper argues that these criticisms obfuscate legitimate concerns about industry involvement in gambling research, and disregard important evidence about activities of hazardous-consumption industries which provide grounds for strong concern about commercial practices of the gambling industry. Although many aspects of the commentary by Delfabbro and King (2017) are contentious, the current paper summarizes conceptual and empirical literature which supports concern about (a) agency and collaboration in practices of the gambling industry, which make assertions of equivalence with a conspiracy theory both inappropriate and misleading, and (b) the role of research on problem gambling behaviours and pathologies in supporting agendas that may undermine public health. This indicates the need for the scientific community to take seriously its role in improving awareness of the hazards of commercial involvement in gambling research, and thus helping researchers to make informed decisions about these risks and their own manner of engagement with the gambling industry.     

Building a health communication brand for University of Texas System tobacco control

Objective: Despite declining cigarette smoking rates in the US, there is a continued need for tobacco prevention education campaigns to reach young adults. Recognizing the need for improved tobacco control messaging, the University of Texas (UT) System engaged The University of Texas at Austin Center for Health Communication to develop a brand and message that would strengthen tobacco control efforts at its 14 institutions. Methods: This article describes the iterative process involved in creating a brand for tobacco control, including an environmental scan, identifying potential message themes, and creating and refining logos. Results: This article highlights the process of developing a system-wide tobacco control brand. Specifically, the process included coordinating an interdisciplinary team with content and design experts, and presenting ideas to stakeholders for serial feedback and refinement, among others. Conclusions: Ultimately, this project offers a model for other systems of higher education interested in pursuing similar initiatives.     

No place like home? Availability,opportunity, and substance use in adolescence

Surveys on drugs and alcohol availability show that (1) alcohol is much more easily accessible than both cannabis and tobacco, and that (2) many adolescents still do not find it ‘easy’ to access those substances. In the current study, we examine the importance of both opportunity and availability in assessing substance use in adolescence. Our measures of opportunity include skipping school and unstructured socializing, while availability measures include parental substance use and perceived availability of tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis at home. We draw from two waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) survey, and distinguish between (a) predictors of Wave II substance use for the whole sample, and (b) predictors of Wave II initiation for those respondents who reported no use at Wave I. We find that availability at home and parental substance use is correlated with substance-specific current adolescent consumption, but these indicators are not associated with initiation behavior. Instead, initiation seems to be carried by unstructured socializing outside of the home, with availability at home acting as reinforcement once some level of substance use is established.     

英国工业革命的前提条件

发生在18世纪60年代的第一次工业革命,其主要表现是大机器工业代替手工业,机器工厂代替手工工场。这次革命不仅使生产技术发生重大变革,生产力大大提高,而且使社会结构、生产关系发生了重大变化。英国是工业革命开始最早的国家,也是世界上第一个完成工业革命并实现了资本主义工业化的国家。为什么工业革命能首先发生在英国呢?本文拟从英国君主立宪制的确立;资本原始积累的完成;对外贸易;生产技术已经成熟;自然科学的进步;指导变革的新经济学理论以及新兴产业出现等七个方面做深入探讨。
