On the limiting properties of social indicators

Characteristics of the population and economic measures that constitute traditional social indicators are compared with more recent “quality of life” measures to demonstrate that social indicators are always value statements at the policy level. The possibility of alternative perspectives is illustrated. It is suggested that an awareness of the assumptions implicit in any given indicator is as important as the data they provide.

Consumer trust in B2C e-Commerce and the importance of social presence: experiments in e-Products and e-Services

Reducing social uncertainty—understanding, predicting, and controlling the behavior of other people—is a central motivating force of human behavior. When rules and customs are not sufficient, people rely on trust and familiarity as primary mechanisms to reduce social uncertainty. The relative paucity of regulations and customs on the Internet makes consumer familiarity and trust especially important in the case of e-Commerce. Yet the lack of an interpersonal exchange and the one-time nature of the typical business transaction on the Internet make this kind of consumer trust unique, because trust relates to other people and is nourished through interactions with them.This study validates a four-dimensional scale of trust in the context of e-Products and revalidates it in the context of e-Services. The study then shows the influence of social presence on these dimensions of this trust, especially benevolence, and its ultimate contribution to online purchase intentions.

易地扶贫搬迁安置社区的紧张与化解

易地扶贫搬迁安置社区的制度设计,是一种用城市生活取代传统乡土社会生活的逻辑。落实在社区治理实践之中,则常见到形式各异的紧张,主要表现为移民的日常生活与制度之间产生的对立与冲突。以“制度与生活”分析框架解释,能够发现易地扶贫搬迁安置社区治理紧张的原因、表现及正式制度推行的路径依赖。化解易地扶贫搬迁安置社区的治理紧张,一方面正式制度要以开放和包容的态度正视移民搬迁群体的正常诉求,及时进行自我变革;另一方面易地扶贫搬迁社区群众要主动接受制度的规约,尽快实现由传统生活向现代生活的转变。     

马克思恩格斯生态思想及创新性发展

人化自然作为人的无机身体是人类社会存在的前提,人与自然和谐统一是生态文明的核心;资本主义生产方式造成人与自然、人与人之间新陈代谢关系断裂是资本主义生态危机的主要原因;消灭私有制、建立自由人联合体的共产主义是解决生态危机的最终出路.马克思恩格斯生态思想是当代中国生态文明建设的理论基础和价值准则.以习近平总书记为核心的党中央继承和发展了马克思恩格斯生态思想,提出"生态兴则文明兴,生态衰则文明衰"的生态文明观;"绿水青山就是金山银山"的生态发展观以及"构建人类命运共同体"的生态价值观,是对马克思恩格斯生态思想的创新与发展.     

夫妻一方举债案件中的当事人确定和嗣后救济

“夫妻共同债务”与 “连带债务”在债务发生原因和债务履行上存在差别,对其进行诉讼时,诉讼形式应为固有的必要共同诉讼。当债权人仅起诉名义举债人一方时,可能构成诉讼被告不适格。借鉴德日诉讼要件理论,法院可以对当事人适格问题进行“职权调查”,但所采用的诉讼资料应遵循“辩论主义”。在此基础之上,应明确法院的释明权适用情形,即通过对已经参加诉讼的当事人进行释明来改变诉的不合法状态。若因法院在此审判阶段释明权适用不到位,而最终不合法的诉获得了无法顺利执行的实体判决,债权人想要获得圆满救济仅能依靠再审。
