Sensing the skin: acne sufferers and the dermatologization of life

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we explore what we call the “dermatologization of life” and how it regulates the ways in which acne sufferers relate to their skin. We refer to these ways of relating to the skin as “skin sensing”. Through an analysis of the online narratives found on the website acne.org, we demonstrate how the skin sensing bound up with dermatologization both converges with and diverges from biomedical understandings of acne in three key contexts: the hormonal, the alimentary and the nocturnal. In doing so, we show that skin sensing involves a complex combination of pleasure and pain, excitement and exhaustion, and work and play. Ultimately, we suggest that the ways in which acne sufferers sense their skin open up a set of possibilities that not only disable but also enable them as they embark on the often all-consuming quest for a clear complexion.     

The Role of Child Emotionality in Child Behavior and Maternal Instruction on Planning Tasks

This study explored the relation of children's emotional functioning to children's behavior during individual planning and mother's and children's behaviors during joint planning. Participants were 118 mothers and their second‐grade children. Mothers rated children on their emotional intensity and children rated themselves on their use of emotion regulation strategies. Children and mother–child dyads were videotaped during planning tasks and independent observers rated their behavior. Child emotional intensity was directly related to children being less engaged in the task and to an emphasis in maternal instruction on regulatory behaviors. Some types of emotion regulation strategies modified these relations. Findings suggest that child emotionality may play an important role in the early school years in children's opportunities to learn during social‐cognitive activity.

论事理、伦理与法理的互动关系——关于中国市场行为价值规范的研究

人类经济活动对象的二重性,决定了"事理"与"伦理"的互动关系,也决定着现代市场经济活动中的"伦理"与"法理"的互动关系。由于中国传统文化"人情"伦理规范的历史特殊性,现代中国市场行为价值规范,又表现为"情理"与"法理"的互动关系;又由于其对现代市场行为规范具有侵蚀性和排除性的消极作用,因此,这就需要我们依据现代市场经济活动的内在要求,育发和提升出一种新型的"情理"与"法理"的互动关系,以便合理地调整和维护好中国市场经济活动的正常秩序。     

Child Anger Regulation, Parental Responses to Children's Anger Displays, and Early Child Antisocial Behavior

The display and regulation of child anger in family interaction was coded in a sample of 240 boys and girls at child age 6, and coded using the Specific Affect Coding System. Child antisocial behavior was longitudinally assessed, beginning in kindergarten. Pooled‐ and family‐level analyses were used to assess hazard rates for child anger. Parents’ ability to modulate their own emotions and negative behavior, and children's ability to down‐regulate anger were associated with increased latency for child anger. Hazard for child anger increased as parents’ insensitive and negative responses toward the child cumulated during family interaction. Macro‐level, non‐hazard analyses indicated that chronic levels of child antisocial behavior were associated with the frequency of parental negative behavior, but not with the frequency of child anger. Micro‐level hazard analyses indicated that children's ability to regulate anger was related to chronic levels of child covert but not overt antisocial behavior.     

内部性与政府规制的交易成本分析

在交易过程中当有限理性和机会主义与交易环境因素相互作用时,市场失灵就可能发生,由此引发内部性问题。与外部性不同的是,内部性产生于交易内部的参与各方而不涉及外部第三方。交易成本既是内部性产生的直接原因也是消解内部性的关键考量因素,其高低程度决定了市场、法律和政府规制这三种解决途径的适用范围。现实中,市场和法律途径的不完善为政府规制提供了广阔的空间,然而,规制行为本身也具有交易成本。因此,在处理内部性问题时,如何降低双重交易成本且不损害效率是政府规制的基本逻辑所在。     

港航城市之竞合关系及其法律规制——以上海建设国际航运中心为切入点

长三角区域内外各大港航城市在合作与竞争问题上已经展开并将长期存在一系列博弈,但是这种博弈目前还处于低效和失范状态。这很大程度上源于背后的内在体制冲突、地方政府的盲目绩效冲动以及立法的缺失和滞后,需要《中华人民共和国宪法》、《中华人民共和国立法法》、《中华人民共和国反垄断法》对其做出一一回应。通过有效的法律规制引导合作向深度发展,变对抗的竞争为合作的竞争,确保港航城市合作与竞争在法制统一原则下进行,才能够最大程度地在良性竞合关系中实现国际竞争力的提高,并推动区域内外经济的协调发展和全国性统一大市场的形成和完善。     

农民利益表达外部性的理论探讨——内涵、生发机理及其规制

农民利益表达总是在一定环境中发生,内外环境的变化影响着农民利益表达的发展方向与整体态势,但农民利益表达不是被动地适应内外环境,总是在自我行为的发生与发展中能动地改造着利益表达的内外环境,因利益多元性与政策的偏好,农民利益表达产生外部性。为了维护、实现与增进农民的利益,促进社会的和谐与稳定,必须通过制度、法律、道德、舆论及习俗以规制农民利益表达的外部性。
