Writing resistance together

This piece of writing is a joint initiative by the participants in the Gender, Work and Organization writing workshop organized in Helsinki, Finland, in June 2019. This is a particular form of writing differently. We engage in collective writing and embody what it means to write resistance to established academic practices and conventions together. This is a form of emancipatory initiative where we care for each other as writers and as human beings. There are many author voices and we aim to keep the text open and dialogical. As such, this piece of writing is about suppressed thoughts and feelings that our collective picket line allows us to express. In order to maintain the open‐ended nature of the text, and perhaps also to retain some ‘dirtiness’ that is essential to writing, the article has not been language checked throughout by a native speaker of English.     

经济全球化背景下的中国地方政府转型与职能定位

中国从1978年推行对外开放政策以来,一改过去那种被动纳入全球化的方式,开始以一种积极的姿态主动地参与到世界经济全球化的进程中来,不仅极大地促进了中国经济社会的迅猛发展,而且也在很大程度上推动了中国政府,特别是各级地方政府以提供公共服务为目标的政府转型,进而导致中国地方政府职能的全新定位。     

环境运动促进生态和谐与社会和谐的现实结合

构建社会主义和谐社会,是中国共产党提出的一个崭新的命题,是一项重大的战略决策。如何将生态和谐现实地融入到整个社会和谐的体系之中,是当前我们所面临的重大问题。其中民间机制尤其是环境运动在这方面的作用是不容忽视的,它通过对政府机制的补充,有效地促使了生态和谐现实地融入到社会和谐的整体中。

Uniform consistency rate of kNN regression estimation for functional time series data

In this paper, we investigate the k-nearest neighbours (kNN) estimation of nonparametric regression model for strong mixing functional time series data. More precisely, we establish the uniform almost complete convergence rate of the kNN estimator under some mild conditions. Furthermore, a simulation study and an empirical application to the real data analysis of sea surface temperature (SST) are carried out to illustrate the finite sample performances and the usefulness of the kNN approach.     

Protecting and Benchmarking Migrants’ Rights: An Analysis of the Global Compact for Safe,Orderly and Regular Migration

The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM) was to be “guided by human rights law and standards” in recognition of the rights of international migrants, who are currently protected by an overlapping patchwork of treaties and international law. The GCM contains many laudable commitments that, if implemented, will ensure that states more consistently respect, protect, and fulfil the rights of all migrants and also that states incorporate data on migration into a more cohesive governance regime that does more to promote cooperation on the issue of international migration. However, many concerns remain. Using a legal analysis and cross‐national policy data, we find that the GCM neither fully articulates existing law nor makes use of international consensus to expand the rights of migrants. In its first section, this article provides a concise analysis of the GCM's compliance with a set of core principles of existing international human rights law regarding migrants. In the second section, we apply a novel instrument to create an objective, cross‐national accounting of the laws protecting migrants’ rights in various national legal frameworks. Focusing on a sample of five diverse destination and sending countries, the results suggest we are close to an international consensus on the protection of a core set of migrants’ rights. This analysis should help prioritize the work necessary to implement the GCM.     

Expediting youth's entry into employment whilst overlooking precariousness: Flexi‐employability and disciplinary activation in Hong Kong

With an emphasis placed on supply‐side interventions such as skills training and incentives enhancement, active labor market polices (ALMPs) are strongly promoted by international organizations and widely adopted across different welfare regimes to boost employment rates. This article first presents the under‐examined relationship between ALMPs and employment precariousness, which has posed a challenge to the neoliberal notion of employability and activation. Youth‐focused employment policies tend to speed up employment entry whilst downplaying the risk of precariousness and the importance of job quality, and thus further reinforcing the belief that engaging in precarious employment is tolerable if not inevitable. The article then examines the case of Hong Kong, which illustrates that its relatively low rate of youth unemployment may conceal the unfavorable employment conditions confronted by youth. It is argued that the service‐led employment policies and short‐term vocational training define the employability of young workers in terms of labor flexibilities. The coined phase of “flexi‐employability” is characterized by promoting youth's readiness for, and adaptability to, the volatilities and changing demands of the labor market. Arguably, the disciplinary approach to youth activation would only strengthen the work‐first principle by enforcing young people to take up jobs available and leave welfare as soon as possible, but without thoroughly addressing the risks and insecurities generated by the labor market in undermining their well‐being.     

对文化创意产业标准化战略的思考

标准具有技术与制度双重属性.文化创意产业要做到“文化和科技融合,发展新型业态、实现创意产业的规模化、集约化、专业化”,政府和企业必须重视文化创意产业的标准化战略,构建我国文化创意产业分类和统计标准、文化创意企业和聚集区分类标准、文化产品和服务的技术标准等三大类标准.文化创意产业的标准化作为一种超越产品、专利、品牌竞争的高层次竞争手段,在其产业发展中的作用越来越重要.专利和品牌是对一种产品的垄断,标准是对一个行业的垄断,得标准者得天下.

我国鲜活农产品运输的VC-BP神经网络组合模型

鲜活农产品因其易腐烂、难保存的特点导致运输过程中损耗严重,成本重复,因此对运输有较高要求。通过层次分析法确定农产品运输通道评价指标权重,将变尺度混沌优化与BP人工神经网络有机结合,可构建变尺度混沌-BP神经网络组合优化模型。该模型通过变尺度混沌优化方法对网络权值分布进行优化,采用梯度下降法最终搜索确定全局最优权值。该模型可实现对农产品运输通道模式的评价和选择,避免了各种运输方式成本的重复利用,可快速有效提高农产品运输的运输质量。该模型可做到全局优化,避免了以往算法局部最优化的缺陷。通过实例仿真,该模型具有较好的应用性和动态适应性。
