人口稀疏地区的环境保护问题

目前,环境保护成为全球亟待解决的问题.由于越来越多的地区参与到经济活动中,因而环境保护涉及包括人口稀疏地区在内的各个地区.在多数情况下,人为因素给环境带来了许多负面的影响. 环境问题不仅与整个国家相关,也与各个地区相关,包括俄罗斯的沃洛格达地区.     

中国社会组织参与社会管理的功能与限制

社会组织参与社会管理具有内在的契合性:合作治理理论证明了社会组织参与社会管理的理论可能性;政府职能的转变,社会组织管理体制的改革,社会组织自身优势的发挥为其参与社会管理创造了现实可行性。当前我国社会组织逐渐成为政府社会服务购买的重要承接主体,并将在化解社会矛盾、协调社会关系以及提高公共政策执行能力、扩大公民参与上发挥着积极功能。然而,囿于不健全法律的体系,较为低下的政府服务合作管理能力以及志愿失灵等因素,社会组织参与社会管理的领域和功能仍然受到一定限制。     

论楚国的隐士群体及隐士政策

楚国的归隐现象比较常见,道家型隐士是隐士群体中的主流。楚国隐士具有鲜明的地域特征,其归隐目的单纯,而且往往隐而不出;追求徜徉山水、自娱自乐的生活逸趣;隐士妻子大多支持、追随丈夫隐居。楚国征召过这批士人,而且对于他们的拒仕十分宽厚,并不强迫出仕。楚国众多道家型隐士的存在,以及政府宽容的隐士政策,一定程度上反映了楚文化的特点。     

区域经济现代化问题

20年前,俄罗斯向市场型社会经济生活组织的转型是复杂而充满矛盾的,原因之一是市场改革的战略和决策,原因之二是世界经济快速全球化背景下危机的表现方式. 在俄罗斯联邦第一任总统叶利钦执政时期,俄罗斯创建了大型民营企业、商业环境和市场基础设施.新社会秩序的基本步骤是建立在"休克疗法"基础之上,国家工业产值减少一半,固定资产投资减少五倍,就业率急剧下降,人民生活水平降低,国家的完整性也受到威胁.     

Can We Perceive Near Miss? An Empirical Study

Near misses are a special kind of reinforcement which increases one’s desire to play. The aim of this paper is to examine the perception of near misses in normal population. We used a slot machine simulation running on a PC, where participants had to play four rounds with different near miss ratios (0, 15, 30 and 45%). Our sample consisted of 159 individuals with mean age of 22.8 and with no or little gambling experience. For data analysis we used chi-squared goodness-of-fit test and exact binomial test. Despite the fact, that there was a notable effect of near misses results showed that the subjects could not perceive trials of them.     

Information Seeking about Global Climate Change among Adolescents: The Role of Risk Perceptions, Efficacy Beliefs and Parental Influences

Global climate change is likely to have significant impacts on public health. Effective communication is critical to informing public decision making and behavior to mitigate climate change. An effective method of audience segmentation, the risk perception attitude (RPA) framework has been previously tested with other health behaviors and classifies people into 4 groups on the basis of their perceptions of risk and beliefs about personal efficacy. The 4 groups - indifference (low risk, weak efficacy), proactive (low risk, strong efficacy), avoidance (high risk, weak efficacy), and responsive (high risk, strong efficacy) - are hypothesized to differ in their self-protective behaviors and in their motivations to seek information. In this paper, we extend the RPA framework in two ways. First, we use it at the household level to determine whether parental classifications into the 4 groups are associated with their teenage children's classification into the same 4 groups. Second, we predict adolescent information-seeking behaviors on the basis of their and their parents' membership in the 4 RPA groups. Results (N = 523 parent-adolescent pairs) indicated that parental membership in the 4 RPA groups was significantly associated with children's membership in the same 4 groups. Furthermore, the RPA framework was a significant predictor of adolescent information-seeking: those in the responsive and avoidance groups sought more information on climate change than the indifference group. Family communication on global warming was positively associated with adolescents' information-seeking. Implications for interventions are discussed.
