影响村民社会交往的因素分析

因子分析表明,村民的交往可以分为亲属交往和社会交往两个不同的因子。回归分析表明,性别、年龄、收入、文化程度、政治面貌以及是否村干部等因素都对村民的交往产生一定影响。对于村民来说,亲属交往比社会交往更为重要。村民强调亲属交往而忽视社会交往的倾向,将在一定程度上影响村民之间跨跃亲属的社团的形成,从而影响社会资本的发展。

博客“热”的“冷”思考 ——对新闻博客的传播学解读

2005年被称为“博客元年”,博客及其所代表的传播现象引起了新闻传播理论界的关注。对这一新的传播现象需要科学、理性和冷静的分析:博客既是个人传播的工具也是社会舆论阵地;新闻博客的自发性、自主性和随意性使它不可能取代大众传媒;公民记者和公民新闻有利于调动公民参与社会公共事务和管理的积极性,是对大众传媒的补充,但需要进行有效的监督和管理。     

What's wrong with sociology? Its public image

In response to editor Stephen Cole's question—"What's wrong with sociology?"—the answer is nothing that cannot be overcome by clearer communications and better public relations. The problem is that the field is not held in high esteem by college administrators, legislators, and the public. Many see us as rebels of the 1960s, political liberals, and impractical thinkers with a penchant for jargon. Even our research is derided by some as a waste of money. The solution consists of strategies for overcoming our poor public image. Seven strategies for doing so are discussed: (1) Write clearly. (2) Write for a mass audience. (3) Seek board positions. (4) Strengthen our identity. (5) Teach sociology in high school. (6) Develop academic partnerships. (7) Emphasize outcomes: increase in tolerance and research skills.     

基于RS与ANN的上市公司财务困境预测模型的实证研究

本文以中国上市公司作为研究对象,采用粗糙集理论(RS)客观选出预测模型指标体系,以因财务状况异常而被列为特别处理公司(ST公司)作为界定上市公司的财务困境标志,采用人工神经网络(ANN)寻找最佳的利用公开财务数据预测中国上市公司财务困境的模型。我们的研究结果表明,总资产报酬率等18个包括现金流量类指标的财务指标有较强的区分财务困境公司和财务健康公司的能力;行业类型和资产规模对于上市公司财务困境预测具有至关重要的作用;运用ANN建立的神经网络模型有较强和较稳定的预测能力。     

Exploring gaps in the online economic inclusion of persons with disabilities in Korea

ABSTRACT

This paper explores the difference in the online economic activities of people with and without disabilities in Korea. We conducted a multiple regression analysis to investigate the impact of socioeconomic characteristics, internet access, and internet skills on online economic activities. Our sample, based on a 2016 dataset that included 1554 people with disabilities and 6004 people without disabilities, was developed using quota sampling based on gender, age, and residence. We determined that individuals with disabilities were more likely to engage in online economic activities if they had higher levels of education, lived in urban areas, were employed, or had greater internet skills. Individuals without disabilities were more likely to engage in online economic activities if they were women, had higher levels of education, were employed, lived in a two-generation or more household, or had greater internet skills. For both people with and without disabilities, the level of education, employment status, and internet skills positively contribute to online economic activites. We also determined that education level, participation in economic activity, living in a two-generation or more household, and internet skills had a statistically significant influence on online economic activity for people both with and without disabilities. These results highlight the importance of education and internet training for people with disabilities, as well as social support systems that help them learn to use the internet in diverse ways through both formal and informal networks. The study also underscores the importance of information and communications technology that adequately addresses people’s needs.     

Electronic payment mechanisms in social security: Extending the reach of benefit and contribution transactions

More often than not, the existing modes of contribution collection and benefit payment of social security organizations are adapted to the collective arrangements that characterize employer‐employee relationships. Extending coverage to individuals in difficult‐to‐reach groups, however, may require new modalities of service that can cope with many separate, secure transactions rather than a few bulk data transfers between organizations. Recent developments in electronic payment show its wide applicability in enabling huge volumes of such individual transactions. It is in this light that the article explores the potentials of this technology and identifies possible arrangements through which electronic payments could surmount barriers that stand in the way of covering difficult‐to‐reach groups. The high level of mobile phone penetration on a global scale augurs well for using e‐payment mechanisms to collect social security contributions and to deliver social security benefits and services. A generic model is used to describe the requisite elements to implement electronic payments in social protection programmes. Based on empirical evidence of current social protection practices from around the world, five scenarios are presented to describe possible configurations for electronic payment, from the simplest to the most sophisticated. The broader objective is to contribute in a practical manner to the international commitment to extend social protection to all, as defined by the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.     

The reification of celebrity: global newspaper coverage of the death of David Bowie*

This paper examines global English-language newspaper coverage of the death of David Bowie. Drawing upon the concept of reification, it is argued that the notion of celebrity is discursively (re)produced and configured through a ‘public face’ that is defined, maintained and shaped via media reports and public responses that aim to know and reflect upon celebrity. The findings highlight how Bowie’s reification was supported by discourses that represented him as an observable, reified form. Here, Bowie’s ‘reality’, that is, his authentic/veridical self, was obscured behind a façade of mediation, interpretation and representation that debated and decided his ‘authenticity’ as a cultural icon. Such debates, however, were engagements with a reified image, enveloped in continual (re)interpretation. As a result, Bowie’s reification was grounded in a polysemous process that allowed numerous versions of ‘himself’ to be aesthetically reimagined, reinvented and repeated.     

清代旅浙徽州藏书家鲍廷博与吴骞的交往考察

鲍廷博与吴骞是清代旅居浙江的徽州藏书家，他们居住的地方即现在的嘉兴地区。二人因共同的藏书爱好而结下了亦师亦友的关系，收藏书籍过程中的诗文互动、校勘题跋等活动加深了彼此之间的友谊。与此同时，在他们的交往活动中，不少江浙文化名人也参与其中，共同的书籍收藏喜好繁荣了当地的文化，客观上促进了经济的发展，扩展了徽州文化的影响。而《吴骞日记》更是记载了不少关于鲍廷博的生平活动，尤其是对两人以藏书活动为中心的往来有很多详细描述，这对补遗《鲍廷博年谱》具有重要学术价值，同时也为从另外一个方面了解鲍廷博的人生轨迹提供了视角。毫无疑问，鲍廷博与吴骞的这些藏书文化活动让寓居地人民对旅外徽州人的评价也产生正面影响，因此深入研究他们的交往，对后世学者了解当时旅居浙江的徽州人融入当地社会具有重要意义。     

Building buy-in: The need for internal relationships and informal coalitions

Significant research has focused on influencing senior leadership, and this study offers new insights into building internal relationships and informal coalitions to provide strategic counsel. These strategies involve internal communications, a neglected area of research and practice. The findings are based on in-depth interviews with 30 executives representing multiple departments in four U.S. companies. A new role justifying public relations’ membership in executive decision teams is internal boundary spanning or gathering intelligence internally across business units, and requires public relations to have a seat at multiple decision tables.
