Religion in the Television-mediated Public Sphere Transformations and paradoxes

This study suggests to look at the audiences of religious television programmes as a possible common field of interest for both the sociology of religion and communication research. The current visibility of religion on Italian television, amplified by the Jubilee 2000 and confirmed by the repeated successes of fictions dedicated to religious characters, put unusual questions to sociological theory. We argue here that such visibility must be interpreted within the ‘process of de-secularization’, i.e. one of the many processes which are currently de-constructing modernity and confusing the distinction between the public and the private sphere. The ‘mediated’ religion is the result of the ambiguous rediscovery of religion in the post-modern society. From this point of view, the Jubilee 2000 appears as a media event typical of the global media society, in that religion is spread throughout the world but within the limits of media (and especially television) formats.

基于目的论的中国特色词汇翻译研究--以李克强总理2016年《政府工作报告》译文为例

《政府工作报告》具有高度的政治性,每年有如路透社、《华尔街日报》等多家知名媒体报道转载,同时也有不计其数的英语学习爱好者会以此为范本进行英语学习,所以对其译文的要求极高,一旦翻译错误就会让外国对中国政府的工作或是发展目的产生误解。又因其中越来越多的包含了具有中国特色的新词汇,找到与其对等的译文难度较大。该文旨在从目的论的角度出发,通过直译、直译加解释,意译这三种方法对2016年李克强总理《政府工作报告》中的中国特色词汇进行了分析,从而实现了中国特色词汇的翻译。     

奥特加：对技术进步信念的存在主义反思

奥特加·加塞特分析“信念”体系在人类生活和社会文化中的具体作用方式,强调“信念”对人类生活变迁和技术历史演化的决定作用,并指出“技术进步”信念是现代社会中最具活力且影响最为深刻的信念之一。他深入反思“技术进步”信念给现代人类生活带来的危机,认为人们对于技术进步的信仰根源于对人的本质和人类现实生活的错误认识,指出了修正人们对“技术进步是确定无疑的”信念的必要性。     

Real household income and attitude toward immigrants: an empirical analysis

Previous studies have analyzed the (aggregate) effects of unemployment on attitudes towards immigrants and on right-wing crimes. In this paper, we investigate the effects of economic prosperity on attitudes towards immigrants, focusing not only on unemployment status but also on real household income. Using panel data from the German Socioeconomic Panel on around 33,000 individuals over the period 1992–2004 we find a robust negative relationship between real personal household income and self-declared concern about immigrants, both in levels and first differences. Both job loss and income reduction concerns about immigration. Our findings document an interesting interaction between economic variables and social attitudes which does not depend on economic growth per se but on its capacity to generate higher economic wellbeing at individual level, not only for unemployed people but also for those in employment, who may face a fall in real income during economic downturns.     

基于隐马尔科夫模型的文本分类

文本分类经过多年的发展，已经产生了很多成熟高效的算法。将隐马尔科夫模型用于文本分类，对每个文本类构建一个隐马尔科夫模型，χ2检验获得类别特征词集，其状态转移表示按照一指定顺序对类别特征词集进行遍历，状态输出符号为特征词的词频，隐马尔科夫模型的状态转移过程隐含的表示了属于该类的文本的形成过程。具有最大概率的HMM分类器就是所属的类别。该算法不仅将特征词考虑进去，而且还将词频信息融入隐马尔科夫模型中，实验结果表明该方法分类效率较高。     

Disobedience and support for democracy: Evidences from the World Values Survey

For some time, social movement research and political science have studied protests and activists. However, little empirical research attempts to relate movements to the type of social change they endeavour to achieve. In this paper, we suggest that different psychosocial processes may distinguish between different types of movement and protest. In particular, we cross lines between classical social psychology studies on the individual–authority relationship and studies on protest and social movements. We focus attention on the psychological processes triggered in obedience/disobedience. Our results show that when disobedience is associated with attitudes of inclusiveness, it is also positively linked to prodemocratic individual attitudes and to the enhancement of democracy at institutional levels.     

Military conscription and university enrolment: evidence from Italy

This paper analyses the effect of the abolition of compulsory military service (CMS) on university enrolment in Italy. A triple-difference model is used to account for various potentially confounding factors. The identification strategy exploits variation along three dimensions: (a) between gender, (b) between age-groups and (c) between time periods. The results show that there is no statistically significant evidence suggesting that the abolition of CMS has a causal effect on the decision to enrol in university studies. Estimates obtained employing a double-difference model exploiting variation along the dimensions (a) and (b) overestimate the effect. Finally, although there is no statistically significant overall effect, we find some evidence of heterogeneous effects between students from different social backgrounds.     

Total cost of ownership along the supply chain: a model applied to the tinting industry

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a consolidated purchasing tool applied across different industries. However, in some cases, existing models are not satisfactory. The paper analyses the tinting industry, where manufacturers of colourant dispensing machines sell products and related services to paint producers, who install them in retail stores to sell the colour paints to the final consumers. Authors develop a TCO model integrating those existing in literature and including the following specifications: (i) all relevant costs along the product life cycle are considered; (ii) both goods and service-related costs are considered; (iii) both explicit and hidden costs are considered; (iv) the model adapts to the perspectives of various actors in the supply chain. The TCO model is tested with real data and provides useful insights on real costs sustained by each actor.
