自贸区对“一带一路”的支撑作用:蜘蛛网和珍珠链效应

结合“一带一路”建设,各自贸试验区不仅要做国际经贸规则的参与者,也要做规则引领者,构建面向全球的高标准自贸区网络.一要积极谋划把握自贸区与“一带一路”战略在众多产业和市场要素调动中产生的产业创新、金融创新、区域创新等新机遇.二要错位共赢发展,避免“一哄而上”和恶性竞争.追求互补发展、共赢发展.三要着眼于从地缘政治和国家经济核心战略方面进行定位,统筹协调、共建共享、互利共赢,实现更高层次的竞合,实现自贸试验区与“一带一路”战略对外向型经济新格局的融合驱动.     

天津积极打造“一带一路”桥头堡研究

“一带一路”战略是中国以自身发展为契机,带动地区和世界和平发展,践行新型大国走“和平、发展、合作、共赢”之路承诺的战略.天津在“一带一路”战略中区位优势明显,是新亚欧大陆桥东部最短起点,是丝绸之路经济带与海上丝绸之路的陆海交汇点.天津应将“一带一路”战略与京津冀协同发展战略和天津自贸区建设整合起来,更好地发挥“一带一路”桥头堡作用.

“一带一路”国家战略给连云港发展带来新机遇

建设丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路,是中央实施新一轮对外开放的重大举措.“一带一路”是指“丝绸之路经济带”和“21世纪海上丝绸之路”,充分依靠我国与有关国家既有的双多边机制,借助行之有效的区域合作平台,是现有合作模式的延续与升级.连云港处于国家“一带一路”战略中的交汇点,极具地缘优势,在这一战略总体布局中占有重要位置.“一带一路”国家战略为连云港创造了千载难逢的发展机遇.     

关于天津参与国家“一带一路”战略并发挥重要作用的建议

2013年,以习近平同志为总书记的党中央提出了共建丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路两大倡议,构成了以“一带一路”为主要内容的中国丝绸之路区域发展战略(以下简称“一带一路”战略).实施“一带一路”战略对于打造中国经济和对外开放的升级版,具有十分重要的战略意义. 天津作为国际港口城市、北方经济中心,历史上与“一带一路”区域联系紧密,是其重要的节点城市.当前抓住国家实施“一带一路”重大战略的机遇,对于天津在更高层次上统筹京津冀协同发展战略、提升天津自贸区建设水平、促进滨海新区新一轮开发开放,打造天津经济转型与改革开放升级版,加快实现中央对天津的定位具有重大战略意义.

Time and aging--mechanisms and meanings

A recent European Molecular Biology Laboratory Conference on Science and Society entitled "Time & Aging--Mechanisms & Meanings" fascinated scientists from different research areas as well as nonscientists. Topics discussed included not only the biological aging process but also the psychological effects of aging and social influences that affect this process.     

Arts and Crafts and Reconstruction

Abstract

This paper examines the role of arts and crafts in reconstructing communities after times of upheaval, their use in creating employment opportunities, and their impact on the nature of South African art history. It looks at craft initiatives during and after the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002, and draws parallels with early twentieth-century initiatives, particularly those of Florence Phillips, who founded the Johannesburg Art Gallery in 1910, Emily Hobhouse, who established Boer home industries, and the South African National Union, which promoted the manufacture and use of local products.     

Sexual Compulsivity and Sexual Behaviors Among Gay and Bisexual Men and Lesbian and Bisexual Women

Within the existing body of research, the information pertaining to sexual compulsivity (SC) among women, both homo- and heterosexual, remains rather limited in comparison to men. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of SC in a community sample of gay and bisexual men and lesbian and bisexual women and to identify differences in sexual practices based on classification as sexually compulsive within gender. Supporting previous research, the findings indicated that gay and bisexual men were significantly higher in SC when compared to lesbian and bisexual women. Similarly, sexually compulsive gay and bisexual men were more likely to report drug use with sex than their non-sexually compulsive peers, suggesting that “party n' play” may play a larger role for men with SC. In addition, the findings demonstrated empirical support for the proposition that lesbian and bisexual women with symptoms of SC were more likely to engage in specialized sexual behaviors in comparison to their non-sexually compulsive peers. These data suggest that SC manifests differently in gay, lesbian, and bisexual men and women.     

Thinking and Speech and Protocol Analysis

Some form of verbal report—that is, a research participant' s concurrent or retrospective verbal account of thought processes during problem-solving activities—has been used throughout this century as the database from which psychologists have developed theories of human mentation. Newell and Simon (1972) and Ericsson and Simon (1980, 1993) have provided extensive justification for using one such method, protocol analysis, as a tool for investigating cognition from an information-processing (IP) perspective. Their arguments have characterized protocol analysis as a methodology capable of providing evidence of the ways in which people attend to information stored in short-term memory to solve problems, with the evidence providing them with the grounds from which to generate models of human cognitive processes. A different view of protocol analysis is available from the perspective of cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) based on the work of Vygotsky (1987), Leont'ev (1981), and others, and its concern with the mediation of human development by culturally and historically grounded signs and tools. Because of its emphasis on culturally channeled development, a CHAT perspective views speech, including the speech that serves as evidence for cognition in psychological research, as a tool that potentially enables changes in consciousness. In this article I outline a CHAT perspective that accounts for protocol analysis along three key dimensions: (a) the relation between thinking and speech from a representational standpoint, (b) the social role of speech in research methodology, and (c) the influence of speech on thinking during data collection. The purpose of this discussion is not to refute the IP perspective on protocol analysis but to illustrate how this method can be viewed through a CHAT lens and to identify alternative assumptions that must be made to use it from a CHAT perspective.     

Evening and night work schedules and children's social and emotional well-being

ABSTRACT

An emerging body of evidence shows that parents’ non-standard work schedules have a detrimental effect on children's well-being. However, only a limited number of studies have investigated mediating factors that underpin this association. Likewise, only a few studies have examined the impact of fathers’ non-standard work schedules on children's well-being. Based on data from the Families in Germany Study (FiD), this study aimed to address these research gaps. The sample consists of parents and their children at ages 7–8 and 9–10 (n?=?838 child observations in dual-earner families). The data were collected in the years 2010–2013. Non-standard work hours were defined as working in evenings and or at night (every day, several times a week, or changing as shifts). Children's social and emotional well-being was measured with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The findings show that both mothers’ and fathers’ evening and night work schedules are linked to an increase in children's externalizing and internalizing behavior and that this association is partially mediated by mothers’ and fathers’ harsh and strict parenting, with a stronger mediation effect for fathers parenting.
