Agent‐Based Recovery Model for Seismic Resilience Evaluation of Electrified Communities

In this article, an agent‐based framework to quantify the seismic resilience of an electric power supply system (EPSS) and the community it serves is presented. Within the framework, the loss and restoration of the EPSS power generation and delivery capacity and of the power demand from the served community are used to assess the electric power deficit during the damage absorption and recovery processes. Damage to the components of the EPSS and of the community‐built environment is evaluated using the seismic fragility functions. The restoration of the community electric power demand is evaluated using the seismic recovery functions. However, the postearthquake EPSS recovery process is modeled using an agent‐based model with two agents, the EPSS Operator and the Community Administrator. The resilience of the EPSS–community system is quantified using direct, EPSS‐related, societal, and community‐related indicators. Parametric studies are carried out to quantify the influence of different seismic hazard scenarios, agent characteristics, and power dispatch strategies on the EPSS–community seismic resilience. The use of the agent‐based modeling framework enabled a rational formulation of the postearthquake recovery phase and highlighted the interaction between the EPSS and the community in the recovery process not quantified in resilience models developed to date. Furthermore, it shows that the resilience of different community sectors can be enhanced by different power dispatch strategies. The proposed agent‐based EPSS–community system resilience quantification framework can be used to develop better community and infrastructure system risk governance policies.     

日本思想史脉络中的中国--以竹内好的中国论述为例CSSCI

日本战败之后,经历战争的一代知识分子曾经为实现中日邦交正常化而致力于思想与知识生产,但随着世代更迭,战争记忆的传承在思想史上经历了一个断裂时期,而日本的学院体制也妨碍了其中国观的建设性发展。竹内好在这个时期敏锐地察觉到,日本社会对中国日益失去探求心的现象背后隐藏着一个巨大的危险,即在日本,中国有史以来第一次成为“未知国度”。中日之间为了真正消除战争,相互理解并不能仅仅停留在友好的层面,竹内好设想的“内在于日本的中国”至今对我们仍具有认识论的启示意义。     

A class of partially linear transformation models for recurrent gap times

In this article, we propose a general class of partially linear transformation models for recurrent gap time data, which extends the linear transformation models by incorporating non linear covariate effects and includes the partially linear proportional hazards and the partially linear proportional odds models as special cases. Both global and local estimating equations are developed to estimate the parametric and non parametric covariate effects, and the asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators are established. The finite-sample behavior of the proposed estimators is evaluated through simulation studies, and an application to a clinic study on chronic granulomatous disease is provided.

Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Associations of Categories of Physical Activities with Dimensions of Subjective Well-Being in Taiwanese Older Adults

Physical activity takes place in different social contexts such as leisure, home, and work. However, the differential associations of these distinct categories of activity with aspects of well-being have rarely been investigated. This study was designed to estimate independent associations of (a) leisure-time, (b) domestic and (c) work-related physical activities with subjective well-being in older adults. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2009 with 2,295 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 or older in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Among them, 307 participants were selected for a 3-year follow-up study in 2012. The results based on cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses demonstrated that leisure-time physical activity, after multivariate adjustment, was positively associated with five dimensions of well-being, including ‘physical’, ‘psychological’, ‘independence’, ‘learning and growth’, and ‘social’ well-being. Household physical activity was positively associated only with ‘social’ well-being. Occupational physical activity was not related to any dimension of well-being. The study suggests that associations between physical activity and dimensions of subjective well-being during later life are dependent on the social context in which the activity takes place. This study indicates that physical activity taken as leisure has greatest potential to enhance the quality of life of older adults.     

从“网红”大火现象谈互联网时代青少年的主体性危机

青少年是网络的主要使用群体,网络在其社会化的过程中发挥了举足轻重的作用。网络不断带给青少年全新的认知与消费体验的同时,在一定程度上剥夺了主动性与能动性。"网红"现象火爆是互联网经济与文化发展的产物,折射出互联网时代青少年的主体性面临的深刻危机。本文从认知、态度与行动三个层面逐渐深入解读,对青少年认知与审美的主体性、消费行为的主体性,以及价值观塑造的主体性四个方面进行分析,阐释这场全民狂欢背后青少年的主体性迷失。     

《爱国者》:侵华战争期间日本人形象还原与批判

《爱国者》以主人公吴以璜的跨国婚姻为主线,串联起分属不同党派、阶级乃至国家的众多形象,在宏阔的历史背景下再现了特定时代中的个体选择与命运。它不仅塑造中国的爱国者形象,表现中国军民的抗日热情;而且将众多日本所谓的"爱国者"置放于狂热与躁动的舆论环境中,揭示他们由天使走向恶魔的扭曲之路,并剖析深层原因,从而更深刻地揭露了日本军国主义发动侵华战争的罪行。赛珍珠用简约笔法勾勒的日本人群像,既令人信服,又发人深省,充分体现了她对日本民族心理与性格的深刻认知。

Assessing Participation and Effectiveness of the Peer-Led Approach in Youth Sexual Health Education: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis in More Developed Countries

Sexual health education for young people is crucial not only for development of norms but also for protection against vulnerabilities during this stage in life. Although several systematic reviews have examined the effectiveness of peer-led sex education, none have focused on the extent of peer participation. The purpose of this review was to evaluate peer-led sexual health education interventions in more developed countries (MDCs). Electronic and manual searches across five social science, education, and medical databases were conducted. Fifteen articles were selected in total. Most (10 of 15) studies gave low or no responsibility to peers. The majority of articles found improvements in sexual health knowledge (13 of 14) and attitudes (11 of 15) at postintervention stages. Two studies showed improved self-efficacy, and three showed behavioral changes. A preliminary synthesis of effectiveness and level of participation was done. Meta-analysis revealed a large effect on knowledge change (Hedges’ g = 0.84, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.43 to 1.25) and a medium effect on attitude change (Hedges’ g = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.19 to 0.80). Peer-led interventions could be a powerful tool. This review shows that this approach is effective in changing knowledge and attitudes but not behaviors. Further research and action are needed to understand optimal implementation.     

海洋公共管理学:缘起及其框架体系设想

以公共管理和公共事务的变化规律为研究对象的“公共管理学”是一门新兴的学科,其自身的构建面临着深化和发展的问题.在海洋管理的过程中,传统的海洋行政管理形态无论是在理论上还是在实践中都面临着公共性和工艺性严重不足的困境.将公共管理的相关理论成果应用到“海洋公共事务”的管理中去建构起一门“海洋公共管理学”无论在理论上还是实践上都具有必要性和可行性,并且海洋管理理论在自身的演变和传承过程中已经证明“公共性”的成长是一个必然的趋势,与公共管理学有内在的一致性和呼应性.作为公共管理学一脉新的分支学科,海洋公共管理学框架体系的建构及其丰富化尚需要学界共同的努力予以完成.
