Children’s Time Use: Labor Divisions and Schooling in Indonesia

Data from the Worker and Iron Status Evaluation are used to examine gendered patterns in children’s time in market and nonmarket work, schooling, and leisure in Indonesia (N= 2,929). Boys spend more time in market work; girls spend more time in nonmarket work. Work responsibilities increase with age as well as gender differentials in children’s time use. By age 18, girls spend nearly 1 more hour per day working and enjoy significantly less leisure time, but the gender gap in schooling is not significant, suggesting that parents and children are committed to both work and schooling. Additionally, Tobit regression results suggest that parents’ education, household income, and rural residency are important predictors of children’s labor and schooling time.     

Child,Parent, and Situational Correlates of Familial Ethnic/Race Socialization

This study examines child, parent, and situational correlates of familial ethnic/race socialization using nationally representative data gathered as part of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998 – 1999 (ECLS‐K). The ECLS‐K sample (N = 18,950) includes White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, American Indian, and multiracial kindergarteners, with survey data available at the child, parent/guardian, teacher, and school level. We find that child correlates such as race and gender, parent correlates such as education and warmth of parent‐child relationship, and situational correlates such as percent of minorities at the child’s school and cultural event participation influence how often family members discuss children’s ethnic/racial heritage with them. We advocate for continued research of contextualized family dynamics.     

美国的多元宗教概述及成因分析

美国是个多元宗教并存发展的社会,整个宗教种类繁多、宗派林立。但就其源流,多属希伯来———基督教文化传统的犹太教和由基督教发展而来的天主教和新教,在这三大主流派系中,新教占主要优势。促成美国多元宗教并存发展的原因有三:美国民族多样性是客观条件,基督教思想是内在动力,而美国宪法是根本保障。     

Varieties of marketisation in the UK: examining divergence in activation markets between Great Britain and Northern Ireland 2008–2014

This article examines the sub-national diversity in activation quasi-markets in the United Kingdom (UK). Through comparison of four active labour market programmes in Great Britain and Northern Ireland between 2008 and 2014, the article clarifies and maps intra-UK diversity in employment service governance and unpacks the shifting configurations of market structures in each jurisdiction to reveal a temporally and spatially distinct patterning of marketisation. Drawing on Gingrich's approach to analysis and classification of quasi-market variation, the article proposes that between 2008 and 2014, Great Britain rapidly evolved a provider-directed activation market. In contrast, the activation market structure in Northern Ireland, up to late 2014, is better characterised as state directed. A recent reconfiguration of the activation market in Northern Ireland does however indicate some (modified) convergence on Great Britain's approach. One common and consistent feature of the configuration of activation markets in each jurisdiction is the few powers given to direct users of employment services to shape contracted out provision.     

试论问责制的核心理念及其与反腐倡廉的契合性

问责制作为一种制度安排,无疑是当前反腐倡廉的利器。问责制的制度性与多元性的核心理念与反腐倡廉具有内在的契合性。结合我国当前公共治理中的问责状况,我们亟需改变党政内部单一主体的问责局面,形成制度保障的多元问责网络,以问责制度作为反腐倡廉的后盾,以多元问责拓展反腐倡廉的局面。     

规约含义与会话含义的哲学渊源与差异性研究

语言哲学研究的核心内容是意义理论。根据语境与语言形式,话语含义可分为规约含义与会话含义。规约含义的哲学溯源可追随到一百多年前,弗雷格将规约含义贴上了"含义的色彩"的标签。格莱斯认为,规约含义与会话含义都在语言使用过程中包含了说话人取向性,在动态中再现说话人意图或认识。探讨规约含义与会话含义的哲学渊源、本质特征,并从语言形式依赖程度、语境依赖性、推导性、撤销性、分离性、非真值条件性等因素探究了规约含义与会话含义的差异性。     

Does digitization lead to the homogenization of cultural content?

Using weekly music charts data in 10 countries over the period 1990–2015, we analyze whether digitization leads to a trend of homogenization of music content or conversely to a greater acoustic disparity. We split the digitization era in four periods that correspond to four new emblematic distribution models (Napster, iTunes, YouTube, Spotify). Our main result is that while acoustic diversity decreased during the iTunes and the YouTube periods, the period that begins with the introduction of audio streaming services, such as Spotify, represents a turning point and is marked by a significant increase in acoustic diversity.

在当前的文化讨论中,关于文化多样性、和谐文化和振兴国学三个问题尤为令人瞩目。其中,文化多样性关涉到全球化时代的文化选择问题,和谐文化涉及到和谐社会的文化基础问题,振兴国学关涉到传统文化与现代社会的关系问题。本文对这三个当前文化研究的前沿问题分别展开论述,阐明了自己的见解。     

论多样化的法学实践教学方式

法学高等教育为建设社会主义法治国家服务,因而对学生实践能力进行培养极为重要。复合型、应用型法律人才实践能力的培养靠传统的“填鸭式”法学教育方式是无法实现的,多样化的法学实践教学方法可以引导学生从多视角、多层面分析实践案例,使学生能准确地将抽象理论和法律规则有效地结合。因此,当前高等法学教育需要更新教育理念,探讨新的多样化的实践教学方式。     

Social Work, Merit and Ethnic Diversity

This paper concentrates on the issues of merit and diversityin social work. The principal focus is ethnic diversity, usedas an example to illustrate a wider point about diversity. Itis clear that ethnic diversity in particular has become a majorpolitical objective across the public sector as part of the‘community cohesion’ initiative. Several benefitshave been identified and linked to the achievement of ethnicdiversity in the workforce; many of these have appeared in socialwork debate. The argument here is that while diversity has transformativepotential, it must be located within a more radical agenda ifit is to be successful. As a profession with a radical threadto its pedigree, social work is well placed to take this agendaforward.
