“比较视野中的灾难与激变:感知与应对”国际人类学工作坊报告会综述

“比较视野中的灾难与激变:感知与应对”国际人类学工作坊于2015年10月16日-18日在西南民族大学举行了工作报告会,来自世界8个国家和地区的30余家学术机构的40位专家学者围绕着“人文视野下的灾难与激变”、“有关灾难与激变的理论反思”、“在灾难与激变中反思社会-政治关系”、“灾后重建中的社区恢复与文化重塑”、“关于灾难的记忆、叙述与情感”、“灾难的感知与呈现”、“关于灾难的艺术呈现”这7个专题进行了深入的学术交流探讨.     

论社会主义核心价值体系的实践形态

社会主义核心价值体系建设是回答如何建设中国特色社会主义的重要逻辑起点和实践途径.目前,社会主义核心价值体系的内容主体及相关范畴的表达日益明晰,形成了平行结构与点面结合两种不同的理论分析趋势,但在实践层面,对社会主义核心价值体系的实践形态与实践任务的研究,尚有较大的理论空间.     

从区域研究到区域比较研究的理论与实践

社会史研究正在向区域研究的纵深发展.为实现整体史的研究目标,学者们一方面注重区域与国家的互动关系,另一方面则注意区域间的互动,由区域研究走向区域比较研究.新近召开的"比较视野下的地域社会研究--徽州与江南的文化认同与地方发展国际学术研讨会",就史学界关注的区域比较的理论和实践、江南区域的文化认同与经济发展、区域文献资料的开拓和利用等学术前沿问题,作了介绍和深入探讨.

我国文化产业思想的创新轨迹

党的十八大以来,以习近平为总书记的党中央不断深化对新形势下我国文化产业发展的特点和规律的认识,对文化产业的发展目的、价值定位、经济地位、发展动力、发展原则、发展方向和发展保障等提出了系列新思想,创造性地丰富和发展了文化产业思想。这些新思想逻辑清晰、层层递进,逐步构成了较为完善的思想体系,为今后我国文化产业的发展提供了重要的理论指导。     

网络恶搞：青少年集体狂欢的新主题

网络恶搞的风浪甚嚣尘上,它已成为青少年疯狂追捧的对象.本文以大众传播学、网络心理学、哲学、文化社会学、经济学的多维视角,深刻阐述当代青少年热衷追捧网络恶搞的原因,辩证思考网络恶搞对当代青少年的影响,指出减少与控制网络恶搞对青少年的消极影响需要青少年自身与社会等方面的共同努力.     

经济增长、国际贸易与环境污染的关系研究

文章利用金砖国家1992-2011年的平衡面板数据,分别使用固定效应模型和两阶段GMM的方法检验了经济增长、国际贸易和环境污染间的相关关系.研究结果表明,金砖国家的经济增长与环境污染之间是呈现N型曲线关系,印度处于N型曲线的第一拐点前,中国和南非位于第一拐点和第二拐点之间,巴西和俄罗斯处于第二拐点之后.总体上金砖国家的贸易开放度的提升会加剧环境污染,由贸易活动引起的经济增长会使环境恶化;经济结构、产业结构、人口增长、能源消耗及技术进步等因素均会对污染物的排放产生影响.     

M-estimation for functional linear regression

This paper studies M-estimation in functional linear regression in which the dependent variable is scalar while the covariate is a function. An estimator for the slope function is obtained based on the functional principal component basis. The global convergence rate of the M-estimator of unknown slope function is established. The convergence rate of the mean-squared prediction error for the proposed estimators is also established. Monte Carlo simulation studies are conducted to examine the finite-sample performance of the proposed procedure. Finally, the proposed method is applied to analyze the Berkeley growth data.     

An exploratory study of early professional experiences and job burnout among BSW graduates in China

Although previous studies have addressed turnover issues among social workers in Western countries, this study explores the early professional experiences (during the first 3 working years) and job burnout among BSW graduates in China and identifies factors influencing their decisions to leave social work jobs. Using semi-structured interviews with 15 BSW graduates in the Shenzhen metropolitan area, this research identifies the primary reasons new social workers leave the profession. Data analysis revealed three themes: personal struggles, work environment issues, and social support factors. This exploratory study highlights the professional experiences and burnout among BSW graduates in China and has implications for social work education and professional practices.     

Just Like in Their Home Country? A Multinational Perspective on Living Arrangements of Older Immigrants in the United States

Older immigrants are more likely to share residence with their adult children and other family members than are U.S.-born older adults. Because socioeconomic factors only partially explain these differences and direct measures of cultural preferences are seldom available, the persistently high rates of intergenerational coresidence among the older foreign-born are often interpreted as driven by cultural preferences and/or a lack of assimilation. To challenge this interpretation, this study investigates the extent to which older immigrants’ living arrangements deviate from those of older adults in their home countries. The analysis combines data on immigrants from the 2008–2012 American Community Survey (ACS) with census data from three major immigrant-sending countries: Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Vietnam. Despite persistent differences from U.S.-born whites, coresidence in later life is significantly less common than in the sending countries among the older foreign-born who migrated as young adults, and especially among those who migrated as children. The older foreign-born who migrated after age 50, however, are more likely to coreside and less likely to live independently than the older adults in their home countries. The similarity of these patterns across the three immigrant subgroups suggests that the unusually high coresidence among late-life immigrants is driven by U.S. family reunification policy and not simply by cultural influences.
