马克思的机器思想及其对认识互联网的启示

马克思的《资本论》及其手稿中包含了丰富的机器思想,内容涉及机器的性质,机器对生产方式、资产阶级政权、家庭和社会的影响以及机器的发展前途.在产生和影响上,马克思所处时代的机器与今天的互联网具有高度的相似性,这决定了《资本论》中的机器思想对深刻认识互联网以及利用互联网发展生产力、化解网络政治经济问题、引导家庭和社会适应网络社会等方面具有重要的启示.     

Gender differences in the experience of loneliness in U.S. Chinese older adults

This study aimed to explore the gender differences in the experiences of loneliness in the U.S. Chinese older population. The data were drawn from the PINE study, a population-based study of U.S. Chinese adults aged 60 years and older. The Revised–University of California at Los Angeles Loneliness Scale (R-UCLA) was used to measure loneliness. Overall, older Chinese women (28.3%) had a higher rate of loneliness than older men (23.3%, p < .001). In particular, women were more likely to sometimes or often experience a lack of companionship than men (22.9% vs. 17.3%, p < .001). Older women living with fewer people, with lower health status, poorer quality of life, and worsening health changes over the past year were more likely than men to experience any loneliness. This study indicates that gender differences exist in the prevalence, symptoms, and correlates of loneliness. Longitudinal studies should be undertaken to understand gender differences in risk factors and outcomes of loneliness.     

Managing dependency in China outsourcing relationships

Abstract

This paper examines manufacturing firms’ use of guanxi and formal control to address dependence on suppliers and achieve desired outsourcing performance in China. Using survey data collected from manufacturing firms operating in China, a structural equation model is used to test the research model. The results suggest that manufacturing firms with high dependence on suppliers build Chinese guanxi with those suppliers to overcome the dependence and enhance outsourcing performance. In addition, Chinese guanxi also appears to facilitate the use of formal control, which was also found to have a positive relationship with outsourcing performance. This paper contributes to the literature by illustrating the importance of guanxi in achieving desired outsourcing performance in the China context, particularly in the case where a manufacturer perceives high dependency on its major supplier.

A narrative inquiry into the identity formation of Chinese doctoral students in relation to study abroad

The present study explores a topic which has been under-studied to date, namely the identity formation of Chinese PhD students in relation to study abroad. Underpinned by Giddens’ ‘reflexive project of the self’, which privileges agency and reflexivity, and using a narrative inquiry approach, it presents four students ‘stories’ collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. In building a picture of the ways in which students’ self-identity is shaped by and shapes their experience of study abroad, the stories illustrate individual agency, motivation, self-determination and reflexivity. In doing so, they challenge the essentialised view of Chinese students as a homogeneous and sometimes problematic group and point to implications for action by the host institutions.     

Financial Knowledge and Behaviors of Chinese Migrant Workers: An International Perspective on a Financially Vulnerable Population

ABSTRACT

Making informed financial decisions is crucial to the wellbeing of Chinese migrant workers. Using interview survey data (N = 329), this study examined financial knowledge and behaviors of migrant workers in China. Results showed that participants demonstrated low levels of financial knowledge (51.4%) and beneficial financial behaviors (51.0%). Multivariate results indicated that a modest proportion of the variance in financial behaviors was explained by financial knowledge, attitudes, and socio-demographic characteristics (e.g., marital status and income). Findings underscore the importance of disseminating culturally-relevant educational interventions to financially at-risk, low-paid migrant workers in China.     

《论法的精神》的当下意义——也评“中国法学向何处去”

《论法的精神》概括的由地理、经济、宗教等因素决定的良宪论是其核心精神,也是法治标准的核心标准,而中国现阶段的法治标准缺少这样的核心内容。中国古代政体历经君主政体、准君主政体和专制政体三个阶段,缺少宪政的阶级结构和经济基础。《论法的精神》的权力制约思想对我国现阶段仍有重大启迪意义。另外,《论法的精神》的比较研究方法、唯物主义方法、综合系统方法对我国法学有很大的借鉴作用。对＂中国法学何处去＂的回答,要点在于对中国现在国情的研究。     

马克思主义中国化背景下的党内民主文化发展

马克思主义中国化是一项伟大而艰巨的时代任务和战略课题。在这一背景下,以毛泽东、邓小平、江泽民为代表的中国共产党人继承和发展马克思主义民主理论并使之中国化,从而促进了党内民主文化的发展。探析其生成逻辑和发展成就,有助于破解当前党内民主发展的难题、推进党内民主建设。

传播学视野下大学生村官推进农村马克思主义大众化的思考——基于山西省运城市的抽样调查

大学生村官是农村马克思主义的传播者。但是,通过调查发现,大学生村官在传播马克思主义过程中却遇到马克思主义理论素养不高、马克思主义理论信仰度不够、农村实践能力不足、传播意识淡薄、传播知识与传播技能欠缺等困境。为了进一步推进大学生村官在农村中传播马克思主义的效果,必须提高大学生村官的马克思主义理论素养,推动大学生村官的知与行的统一,加强他们对农村的认识,培养其传播意识以及提高传播技巧。
