市场经济中的精神文明建设——再论精神生产力的持续增长

在市场经济条件下，精神文明建设作为精神生产力持续增长的组成部分，同样也是推动经济发展的重大源泉。这种精神文明建设应当分层次、分阶段地进行；必须与物质文明建设一起纳入到一个统一的理论分析框架中予以研究解决;需要完善精神产品生产的根本指导原则和发挥社会科学的重大导向作用。

农村多元养老模式的现实解读：区域比较的视角

随着中国老龄化趋势的不断演进,养老问题已成为了迫在眉睫的重要课题,农村养老形势尤其严峻,传统养老模式独木难支,新型养老方式尚未成熟。文章主要选取了东部的江苏南通和西部的陕西榆林两个地区作为调查地点,对各自养老模式的实施与发展情况进行了比较,并深入分析了其发展中存在的问题。研究发现．农村养老模式呈现出“嵌入性”特征,即完全与地方的文化与经济社会结构相融合,且各具特点与问题。对此,应有针对性地积极探索建立适合各地农村实际的多元养老模式。多途径解决农村养老问题。     

云南民间组织空间实践的民族志研究--以佛光之家为例

与绝大多数禁毒防艾组织一样,云南省西双版纳州景洪市的佛光之家10年来从事了禁毒防艾的预防宣传、行为干预、医疗救助、社区培训和关怀救助等工作,在宗教界、新闻界及公益组织等多个领域内享有极好声誉。借用人类学空间理论,我们认为佛光之家的成功之处在于它立足西双版纳的地理空间,依托南传佛教的文化空间且切入政府公共管理的制度空间构建了自己的社会空间。通过对佛光之家空间实践的民族志研究,以期对南传佛教文化区的禁毒防艾工作起到借鉴与示范作用。     

追本溯源说金州

大连市金州区位于辽东半岛南部,濒临黄渤两海.金州地区历史悠久,建置始于汉代,汉元封四年(公元前107)设沓氏县,属辽东郡.唐代属安东都护府积利州.辽代置苏州,属东京道辽阳府.金代末年,升为金州,为金州名之始.元代置金复州万户府.明代置金州卫.清雍正十二年(1734)设宁海县,隶奉天府,道光二十三年(1843)升为金州厅.1913年2月,中华民国政府改设金县,隶属奉天省.中华人民共和国成立后仍称金县.1987年4月21日,经国务院批准,撤县建区.     

2015年我国春运人口省际流动的时空格局

文章基于百度迁徙数据构建人口流动的关系矩阵,完整刻画出2015年春运期间全国人口在东部与中西部城市间省际循环流动的空间集聚与扩散过程.主研究结论:(1)2015年2月13日(腊月廿五)至17日(腊月廿九)和2月25日(正月初七)至3月1日(正月十一)是春节前返乡流和节后返工流两阶段人口净流入(流出)的峰值时段,两阶段各市日人口净流入人次存在正负对应的规律性特征;(2)人口省际流动的近域特征、空间依赖关系并存,京津冀、长三角、珠三角城市群主导了高强度人口流动,并形成3个扇形辐射区域;(3)识别出全国94个人口流入城市和242个流出城市.在空间上,人口集聚的沿海绵延带与人口流失的中部塌陷带共同构成流入、流出城市的双纵平行格局.     

Contents of heavy metals in arable soils and birth defect risks in Shanxi, China: a small area level geographic study

The burgeoning demands of China’s urbanization and industrial development put pressure on the resources of the entire country and have direct and indirect effects on the health of individuals, at times in areas far removed from cities themselves. Current evidence suggests that heavy metal pollution in soil, a common by-product of coal mining and other industrial activities, may be linked to risk of birth defects. We examine this hypothesis using small area level data including soil samples and detailed birth records from 2002 to 2004 from 97 villages in Shanxi province, a heavy coal-mining region. We find that soils containing arsenic, lead, and nickel are significantly correlated with the incidence of birth defects. In particular, we find a strong positive dose-dependent association of birth defects with lead, a moderate positive effect with arsenic, and a dose-dependent negative association with nickel. These results are consistent with the postulated link between arsenic and lead and human birth defects, but raise questions about the effects of nickel in this context. China’s rapid urbanization underscores the need for closer attention to the relationship between the health and the environment.     

Testing the Equality of Two Proportions for Combined Unilateral and Bilateral Data

In many medical comparative studies (e.g., comparison of two treatments in an otolaryngological study), subjects may produce either bilateral (e.g., responses from a pair of ears) or unilateral (response from only one ear) data. For bilateral cases, it is meaningful to assume that the information between the two ears from the same subject are generally highly correlated. In this article, we would like to test the equality of the successful cure rates between two treatments with the presence of combined unilateral and bilateral data. Based on the dependence and independence models, we study ten test statistics which utilize both the unilateral and bilateral data. The performance of these statistics will be evaluated with respect to their empirical Type I error rates and powers under different configurations. We find that both Rosner's and Wald-type statistics based on the dependence model and constrained maximum likelihood estimates (under the null hypothesis) perform satisfactorily for small to large samples and are hence recommended. We illustrate our methodologies with a real data set from an otolaryngology study.     

A transnational networked public sphere of air pollution: analysis of a Twitter network of PM2.5 from the risk society perspective

ABSTRACT

Drawing on digitaltrace data, publicly accessible government documents, and journalistic reports, this research integrates Beck’s risk society theory with digital media theories to examine the mediated process of risk definition and assessment of PM2.5 (particulate matters with a diameter less than 2.5 micrometers) in a networked public sphere. Network and content analysis of a PM2.5 Twitter network shows that political and professional elite remained the most powerful producers of risk definition. Established media played a key role, yet faced challenges from a variety of actors who disseminated and filtered information. Laypersons, while peripheral, actively interacted with elite and established media. The blurring geographic boundary in the PM2.5 Twitter network revealed an emerging transnational public sphere, which, however, was segregated by language. This research advances a layered understanding of the contingent, paradoxical media impact for social changes in a risk society.
