Contextual identity experiencing facilitates resilience in Native American academics

This article discusses the socio-cultural dynamics that interact with ethno-racial identity experiencing in a previously under-researched group. A qualitative interdisciplinary study with 40 Native American academics from 28 mainstream universities across the U.S. served as a case example with findings that contrasted with historically influential theoretical frameworks postulating identity confusion and conflicts at the intersection of one’s mainstream education and profession versus one’s ethno-racial community grounding. Instead of feeling pressure to identify with only one worldview, the contextual, dynamic identities associated with the inclusive and flexible self-concept of tribal participants allowed them to in turn take advantage of two divergent cultural meaning systems pertaining to their distinct socio-cultural contexts. These shifts were experienced as not endogenous but rather exogenous variables, which did not cause the historically theorized issues. Participants felt their tribal identities instead facilitated meaningful integration of the existing incongruences, which resulted in unexpectedly resilient subjective experiencing.     

South African Indian migration in the twenty-first century: towards a theory of ‘triple identity’

This paper is inspired by three issues, namely ongoing research on South Africans of Indian origin, the anecdotal evidence that accumulates through ongoing discussions on a casual level with such people and the increasing interest among researchers about how globalization and transnational movements are impacting upon identity formation among minorities who are seeking employment or a new life in the developed economies of the ‘big five’ English-speaking countries, i.e. the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK. It is in countries such as these that a third identity emerges and develops to instill a sense of triple identity. The information here suggests that, when people of Indian origin migrate to one of these countries, they continue to cling to South Africa because it is their country of birth, as well as to India, more for sentimental rather than practical reasons. The topic of this paper reflects a contemporary phenomenon not just among the Indians in South Africa, but also among other diasporas such as Chinese in Latin America, whose new and final emigration destination always seems to be the US. In addition, people of Chinese origin in the countries of Indochina, such as Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, experienced similar patterns of becoming diasporas in Europe, North America and Oceania in the 1970s. However, migration implores them to renegotiate their identities in order to adapt and settle in accordance with their newly adopted host territories. This gives rise to an identity that straddles three countries, which induces the need to examine new ways of identity building in a global transnational economy.

中国创新活动和经济增长的关系——一个基于协整理论的初步研究

内生经济增长理论告诉我们,创新活动作为技术进步的主要来源能够持续推动经济增长。但是中国现阶段经济发展条件下创新对经济增长的推动作用到底有多大,创新活动对于经济增长的影响机制如何,现有的研究并没有给出一个令人信服的答案。本文采用协整理论和误差修正模型研究了经济增长和创新活动之间的关系。研究结果显示,我国创新活动对于经济增长短期内具有显著影响,但其影响程度与长期影响相比还存在着较大差距;从长期看各种创新活动中基础研究能够实现对经济增长更大的推动作用。     

《成唯识论》中的唯识空观及其对“外道”的批判

佛教思想是在与不少其他宗教哲学派别思想的相互影响和冲突中发展起来的。大乘佛教虽然分为中观和瑜伽行两派，但它们在许多方面有共同之处，对其他派别的态度也有类似点。《成唯识论》中的唯识思想实际上包含了般若中观理论的重要成分，是瑜伽行派论述佛教“空”观念的一种基本形式。《成唯识论》从佛教的唯识空观出发，对其他派别进行了批判。这种批判涉及各派的核心思想，而批判的重点则是各派学说中的实有观念。通过对这方面内容的分析，可以了解佛教与许多印度古代思想派别的基本理论差别。     

卡伯拉尔远航印度意义初探

1500-1501年卡伯拉尔率葡萄牙舰队远航印度,堪称地理大发现第一阶段仅次于三大航行的第四大航行。这次远航经过了欧美非亚四大洲,往返行程5.5万公里。卡伯拉尔远航开创了发现、殖民南美大陆和巴西的进程,重新发现了世界第四大岛马达加斯加。从此葡萄牙人在印度辟建商站立足插手,创建商业殖民帝国;同时开始在印度洋上打击摩尔人—穆斯林,由此开辟了反击反包围摩尔人—穆斯林的新战线,实现了当初的一个战略意图,问鼎印度洋霸权。

Government Risk Management Priorities: A Comparison of the Preferences of Asian Indian Americans and Other Americans

A survey was conducted of approximately 200 Asian Indian Americans and 200 other residents of New Jersey in order to understand the risk management priorities that they want government to have. We found that Asian Indian Americans, especially younger women, focused on personal/family risks, such as alcohol and drug abuse, sexual abuse, and domestic violence. The New Jersey comparison group, in contrast, placed war/terrorism and loss of health care services and insurance at the top of their priorities for government. These results suggest stressful acculturation-related issues within the Asian Indian community. Both populations want more risk management from government than they believe government is currently providing. Respondents who wanted more from government tended to dread the risk, be fearful of the consequences, trust government, and have a feeling of personal efficacy. Within the Asian Indian American sample, wide variations were observed by language spoken at home and religious affiliation. Notably, Muslims and Hindi language speakers tended not to trust government and hence wanted less government involvement. This study supports our call for studies of recent migrant populations and Johnson's for testing ethnic identity and acculturation as factors in risk judgments.     

浅论建立保持老党员先进性长效机制

保持共产党员先进性，是每一个党员的政治使命，不以党员的身份与年龄而改变。离退休老年党员队伍是党的机体的重要组成部分。在新的历史条件下，不断探索保持老党员先进性长效机制，使老党员政治上永葆青春，思想常注活力，不仅是加强党的执政能力，完善马克思主义建党学说的重要方面，而且是我国人口老龄化加剧的前提下，研究推进政治、经济、文化发展和构建和谐社会的重要一环。
