“Under the Same Quilt”: The Paradoxes of Sex Between Men in the Cultural Revolution

This article describes the paradoxes experienced by homosexual men during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Interviews with 31 elderly Chinese gay men were carried out in four cities in China in 2011. Although homosexual men were terribly persecuted, chaotic situations and dislocations of youth from their families provided young homosexual men with a remarkable degree of personal freedom and the opportunity to explore same-sex relations. Analysis of this seemingly contradictory conflation of persecution and freedom will allow us to explore the conditions and effects of the coming of age of homosexual men in a unique epoch in Chinese history.     

A new estimator of covariance matrix

The problem of estimating a covariance matrix is considered in this paper. Using the so-called partial Iwasawa coordinates of the covariance matrix, a new improved estimator dominating the James-Stein estimator is proposed. The results of a simulation study verifies that the new estimator provides a substantial improvement in risk under Stein's loss.     

Middle Childhood Feelings Toward Mothers: Predictions From Maternal Directiveness at the Age of Two and Respect for Autonomy Currently

The goals of this study were to examine (1) stability of maternal directiveness during interactions with their children from toddlerhood to late middle childhood, (2) direct and mediated relations between mothers' directiveness when children were two years old, mothers' respect for autonomy and children's positivity and negativity toward their mothers when children were in late middle childhood, and (3) differences in these paths by ethnoracial group. Participants included 876 European‐American, 789 African‐American, and 411 Mexican‐American mothers and their children from the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project. Maternal respect for autonomy at Time 2 partially mediated an association between Time 1 directiveness and observed child positivity toward mothers at Time 2. There was also a direct inverse link between Time 1 maternal directiveness and children's observed positivity toward mothers at Time 2. Relations were similar across ethnoracial groups and for boys and girls. The discussion focuses on heterotypic stability in directive parenting and its implications for children's feelings toward their mothers.     

满族人家过大年

一进农历腊月,外面天寒地冻,隐居大山褶皱里的满族人,便铺陈开一年中最精彩的部分——婶子大娘们把浸泡的糯米磨了,包上红豆,用鏊子烙成两面金黄,然后装进仓房的泥缸里,一直吃到来年开春。中国东北地区的满族人对年的感知,似乎比其他地方早许多,尤其居住在辽东山区的满族人更是如此。山里的生活,不如大城市丰富多彩,但     

国际税法视野下透明度原则的正当性危机

美国藉由 FATCA 法案在全球推广税收透明度原则，瑞士签署“信息透明协议”昭显国内法对此原则的让步。但是由于透明度原则自身规定的欠缺，导致该原则滥用的扩大化，使其面临正当性危机。此危机具体包括主权危机、合理性危机以及合法性危机。国际社会应通过缔结税收协定时强调互惠原则、适用比例性原则和运用最密切联系原则的方式解决此危机。我国也应当在签订税收协定时，明确透明度原则的细节，坚守司法主权的底线，以及厘清透明度原则与《银行保密法》的界限。     

Dependence Assessment in Human Reliability Analysis Using Evidence Theory and AHP

Dependence assessment among human errors in human reliability analysis (HRA) is an important issue. Many of the dependence assessment methods in HRA rely heavily on the expert's opinion, thus are subjective and may sometimes cause inconsistency. In this article, we propose a computational model based on the Dempster‐Shafer evidence theory (DSET) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method to handle dependence in HRA. First, dependence influencing factors among human tasks are identified and the weights of the factors are determined by experts using the AHP method. Second, judgment on each factor is given by the analyst referring to anchors and linguistic labels. Third, the judgments are represented as basic belief assignments (BBAs) and are integrated into a fused BBA by weighted average combination in DSET. Finally, the CHEP is calculated based on the fused BBA. The proposed model can deal with ambiguity and the degree of confidence in the judgments, and is able to reduce the subjectivity and improve the consistency in the evaluation process.     

“交叉性”流派的观点、方法及其对中国性别社会学的启发

本文对"交叉性"理论的起源、流变、基本方法、发展趋势及运用于中国本土研究的可能性进行了分析。此理论是在美国民权运动推动下对"社会性别"理论的一种发展,同时也是在反思后现代女权主义的基础上对包括性别在内的各种范畴间相互关系的一种分析。它在发展的过程中经历了包含分析法、过程分析法和系统分析法三个阶段。本文还提出了此理论内部的矛盾,讨论了将其引入中国的必要性、局限以及可能的进一步发展。     

Analyzing public sentiments online: combining human- and computer-based content analysis

Recent technological developments have created novel opportunities for analyzing and identifying patterns in large volumes of digital content. However, many content analysis tools require researchers to choose between the validity of human-based coding and the ability to analyze large volumes of content through computer-based techniques. This study argues for the use of supervised content analysis tools that capitalize on the strengths of human- and computer-based coding for assessing opinion expression. We begin by outlining the key methodological issues surrounding content analysis as performed by human coders and existing computational algorithms. After reviewing the most popular analytic approaches, we introduce an alternative, hybrid method that is aimed at improving reliability, validity, and efficiency when analyzing social media content. To demonstrate the usefulness of this method, we track nuclear energy- and nanotechnology-related opinion expression on Twitter surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi accident to examine the extent to which the volume and tone of tweets shift in directions consistent with the expected external influence of the event. Our analysis revealed substantial shifts in both the volume and tone of nuclear power-related tweets that were consistent with our expectations following the disaster event. Conversely, there was decidedly more stability in the volume and tone of tweets for our comparison issue. These analyses provide an empirical demonstration of how the presented hybrid method can analyze defined communication sentiment and topics from large-scale social media data sets. The implications for communication scholars are discussed.     

拓展文学批评的视界——胡亚敏教授访谈录

粟世来:胡老师您好!我受<甘肃社会科学>编辑部赵国军先生的委托,对您做一次学术访谈,访谈将主要围绕您的研究展开.首先我要请教的第一个问题是,近年来,您对新时期以来文艺理论与批评中的某些热点问题发表了一些颇具建设性和前瞻性的观点.比如,在2007年举行的"文学理论三十年--从新时期到新世纪"国际学术研讨会上,您作了"开放的民族主义"的发言,并将之作为中国当代文学批评的一种基本立场.但在如今,民族主义不说声名狼藉,也可谓名声不佳.霍米·巴巴就提出过"不可救药的民族主义"(impossible nationalism)来指称一种狂热的、排外的、极端的甚至是暴力的民族主义,认为它已不再具有"民族一国家"建构的历史有机性和进步性.请问您倡导的"开放的民族主义"(open nationalism)是怎样的一种理念?在中国当代文学批评建设中我们应怎样坚持这一立场?     

涉外不当得利、无因管理法律适用实证研究

《中华人民共和国涉外民事关系法律适用法》第47条规定了涉外不当得利、无因管理案件的法律适用。通过对援引该法条的163份裁判文书统计整理,从不同维度研究涉外不当得利、无因管理法律适用现状,以期探明司法运行状况。经分析发现法律适用中存在识别不当、适用系属公式无法律依据、法律推理过程逻辑错误、忽视意思自治中的默示选法和法院地法适用比例高等问题。为解决上述问题,应加强不当得利、无因管理的理论研究,不断完善法律适用法的立法以实现法典化,进一步加强司法制度建设,同时强化提升司法人员业务素质。
