新媒介Cybergame的关键特征

游戏存在着有别于其他人类行为的六个根本要素,即:自由参与、以愉悦为目的、目标与竞争并存、规则性、时空性以及参与者拥有一定的共同经验。因受信息与传播技术自身特点的影响,以电脑游戏为代表的Cybergame还具有三大关键特征:虚拟环境、身体的缺席、人工智能。这样的分析有助于进一步开展对Cybergame的研究。     

论网络虚拟货币的双重属性

网络虚拟货币是一种在互联网上购买虚拟商品的支付工具。它产生于网络小额电子支付的困难。网络虚拟货币虽带有“币”字,其本质属性仍为商品。随着其使用基础的扩大和功能的延伸,网络虚拟货币在虚拟世界逐步衍生出了类似货币的属性。就目前而言,网络虚拟货币还只是商品,与真实货币或准货币还有很大的差别。

Crafting the expert-advocate: training and recruitment efforts in the carbon dioxide capture and storage community

This article presents a case study of recruitment efforts around carbon capture and storage (CCS) to explore how expert communities internalize the societal dimensions of envisioned pathways for energy transitions. Members of the CCS community see the technology’s realization as being dependent on traversing a range of “barriers”, such as public fears and resistance that exacerbate struggles for policy support. Community-supported training venues prime recruits for practical interventions that target these barriers. Events also uphold necessary interpretive flexibilities that support heterogeneous advocacy coalition with at times diverging interests in energy transitions. The concept of expert-advocates, experts primed for interventions across technical-social systems, is proposed as a new analytic aid for future studies of socially reflexive expert communities.     

新常态下采矿工程专业三位一体创新教学实践探讨

为解决煤炭形势新常态下采矿工程专业学生实习难、就业难的问题,提高毕业生的培养质量和实践能力,河北工程大学矿业与测绘工程以采矿实训基地为平台,以虚拟仿真实验中心为支撑,以面向工程实践的案例教学为纽带,提出了“物理实训-虚拟仿真-工程实践”三位一体创新教学模式。课程体系改革分别针对课堂教学、实训教学和实习教学进行教学内容、教学方法和教学过程优化,建立“课程-实训-案例”交叉课程安排标准,努力提高学生对矿井三维空间知识体系的理解,加强学生对“大工程”理念的认识,增强学生解决现场工程实际问题的能力。通过不断地实践和摸索,将为采矿工程专业教学模式创新走出一条特色之路。     

Masses,Crowds, Communities,Movements: Collective Action in the Internet Age

This article investigates two questions: One, how might the very differently structured social collectives on the Internet – masses, crowds, communities and movements – be classified and distinguished? And two, what influence do the technological infrastructures in which they operate have on their formation, structure, and activities? For this, we differentiate between two main types of social collectives: non-organized collectives, which exhibit loosely coupled collective behavior, and collective actors with a separate identity and strategic capability. Further, we examine the newness, or distinctive traits, of online-based collectives, which we identify as being the strong and hitherto non-existent interplay between the technological infrastructures that these collectives are embedded in and the social processes of coordination and institutionalization they must engage in, in order to maintain their viability over time. Conventional patterns of social dynamics in the development and stabilization of collective action are now systematically intertwined with technology-induced processes of structuration.     

Lessons Learned From a Canadian Province-Wide Age-Friendly Initiative: The Age-Friendly Manitoba Initiative

The Age-Friendly Manitoba Initiative was launched in 2008. A formative evaluation we conducted in 2011 with 44 participating rural and urban communities demonstrates considerable progress, with virtually all communities having formed an Age-Friendly Committee and conducting a community assessment to identify priorities for action. The majority of communities implemented one or more age-friendly projects. Major barriers to becoming age-friendly identified by participants included lack of funding; lack of capacity, particularly in small communities; and lack of leadership or direction. The study highlights the importance of strong leadership at all levels of government (municipal, provincial, federal); the need to support communities, particularly rural ones, as they try to become more age-friendly; and the importance of ongoing promotion of age-friendliness locally and more broadly (e.g., provincially).     

Age-Friendly Portland: A University-City-Community Partnership

This article addresses the question of how creating an age-friendly city has come to be an important policy and planning issue in Portland, Oregon. In 2006, researchers from Portland State University's Institute on Aging examined the meanings of age friendliness among a broad range of participants in Portland, Oregon. The research was conducted in conjunction with the World Health Organization's (WHO) Age-Friendly Cities project and followed the completion of two earlier non–WHO-related projects. The city of Portland, through the Institute on Aging, was one of nine original members to apply for and be accepted into the WHO Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities. An Age-Friendly Portland Advisory Council was formed to guide the development of an action plan, monitor progress over time, and suggest additional research. To understand how Portland's age-friendly policy effort has developed over time, we use Kingdon's (1984) agenda-setting framework to explain how the policy problem was formulated, how solutions were developed, and the influence of local politics. The policy actors, including individuals and organizations working within and outside of government, are described. The Portland experience provides a case study that other cities, especially those with a strong commitment to community-engaged urban planning, may find useful as they develop age-friendly initiatives.
