Co-Occurring Psychosocial Problems and Multiple Sexual Partners among Men Who Have Sex with Men in Shanghai,China: A Syndemic Approach

We aimed to apply syndemic theory to verify the association and reinforcing effects between psychosocial problems and multiple sexual partners (MSP) of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Shanghai, China. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 547 MSM in Shanghai, China using a face-to-face survey. Sociodemographic and psychosocial data were collected, as well as information on MSP and condomless anal sex. In the 6 months prior to the survey, 54.3% of the MSM sample had had MSP. Univariate analysis showed that self-esteem, depression, loneliness, sexual compulsivity, and involuntary subordination (IS) were associated with MSP. Sexual compulsivity (multivariate odds ratio [ORm] = 2.94, 95% CI = 1.76–4.91) and IS (ORm = 1.79, 95% CI = 1.14–2.81) remained significant in multivariate analysis. MSM with five or more psychosocial problems had greater odds of (adjusted odds ratios = 3.06, 95% CI = 1.49–6.25) having MSP in the previous 6 months than the non-syndemic group. Our findings provide preliminary confirmation of the additive relationship of syndemic psychosocial health conditions and MSP among MSM in Shanghai, China. An integrated intervention with special focus on sexual compulsivity and IS is needed.     

Tweeting about emergency: A semantic network analysis of government organizations’ social media messaging during Hurricane Harvey

While social media like Twitter have been increasingly adopted by public-sector organizations, it remains less explored as to how government and emergency management (EM) organizations use these platforms to communicate with the public in response to emerging natural disasters. Extending the Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) to the realm of social media, this study examines the emerging semantic networks from 67 government and EM organizations’ official tweets during Hurricane Harvey over a three-week period. It identifies how multiple crisis response strategies—including instructing information, adjusting information, and bolstering—are constituted of different issues, actions, and organizational actors before, during, and immediately after the disaster event. Results suggest that government agencies use the strategy of instructing information predominantly before and during the disaster, whereas adjusting information and bolstering strategies are utilized more during post-disaster recovery. The study offers theoretical and practical implications of using a semantic network approach to studying organizational crisis responses.     

居住安置的空间区位差异与弱势群体的社会适应——对江苏A市两个失地农民安置区的定量研究

失地农民作为城市弱势群体的一类,其居住安置模式主要有原地安置和偏远化安置两种.问卷调查的结果显示,原地安置区的失地农民与偏远化安置区的失地农民相比,征地拆迁之后的社会适应程度更高,前者在就业机会以及实际就业率方面较后者有明显的优势,对于自身目前的生活满意度相对较高,交往方式更接近于城市社区居民的交往,城市认同感也相对较好.而偏远化安置区的失地农民就业困难较为突出、生活满意度明显低下、社会交往受限制、心理上的城市认同感较差.显然,不同的居住安置区位对于失地农民的社会适应具有明显的影响.因此,积极探索社区混合居住的安置模式,是解决失地农民就业困难和生活困境的有益途径.     

时间性:辩证法理论的当代视域

辩证法理论的当代危机根源于其传统视域的内在困境,拯救当代辩证法理论必须以转换辩证法的存在视域为前提.传统辩证法以"非时间性"为视域,形成了辩证法研究的"非时间性教条",也导致了辩证法理论两种传统研究范式的危机.现代哲学的"生存论转向"为辩证法提供了"时间性"的视域,也为辩证法理论本性的当代阐释提供了新的路径.

Analysis of supersaturated designs via the Dantzig selector

A supersaturated design is a design whose run size is not enough for estimating all the main effects. It is commonly used in screening experiments, where the goals are to identify sparse and dominant active factors with low cost. In this paper, we study a variable selection method via the Dantzig selector, proposed by Candes and Tao [2007. The Dantzig selector: statistical estimation when p$p$ is much larger than n$n$. Annals of Statistics 35, 2313–2351], to screen important effects. A graphical procedure and an automated procedure are suggested to accompany with the method. Simulation shows that this method performs well compared to existing methods in the literature and is more efficient at estimating the model size.

浙江模式劳动关系——自行协调、走向两利

浙江是"个私"大省,但劳资关系却相对协调、和谐,其秘密是什么?从劳资关系运行参与者、劳资关系运行规则角度分析,浙江模式劳资关系由以下要素构成:"本土化"的资方;"商业化"原子状的劳方;少(适度)介入、"无为而治"的政府;"自然生成的"劳资关系运行规则;企业一体化的劳资关系;以效率为核心的劳资关系运行。浙江模式劳资关系运行的特点是在以上要素基础上,形成了"自行协调、合作,走向两利、共赢"的运行体制。
