论教学相长在高职英语教学中的重要性

教师与学生、教与学,是贯穿整个教学过程的最基本的一对关系。建立师生共同发展的教学关系,是课程教学改革的重要方向和基本任务。当前,面对高职教学以实用为主的实施策略,教师必须在教中不断学习、终身学习。只有这样,教师才能不断丰富、拓宽自己的知识,从而适应不断发展的教育教学的需要,既有效提高教育教学效果,又全面提升自己的教学能力与职业素养。     

中国绿色GDP核算实践：问题与对策

绿色GDP核算在我国仍处于探索阶段,通过对东部、中部、西部的实际污染治理数据进行分析,指出越是GDP低下的地域,实际污染治理支出占GDP的比重越高。绿色GDP核算面临着基础数据、核算技术等方面的难题。最后,提出了现阶段绿色GDP核算应量力而行;在企业中推广环境管理体系、企业年度环境报告书制度和企业环境会计核算等对策。     

环境伦理学研究中的几种伦理境界及其意义

环境伦理学的产生和发展来自对西方传统伦理学的批判和超越。从对传统的强人类中心主义的伦理学的批判到弱人类中心主义的伦理学,西方传统伦理学不得不将自然资源和环境纳入到伦理学的研究视域中,体现了人们对生态环境的伦理应对,这无疑是人的伦理境界的进步。而从动物解放/权利论到生物平等主义、再到生态整体主义,伦理的对象已逐步从人及其社会扩展到了动物界、生物界以及整个生态系统;尽管这使人在自然中的地位越来越低,但人的伦理境界也在被不断提升,充分展示了人的伦理潜力和对人与自然和谐关系的伦理追求,体现了人对自身的超越,也为生态环境问题的最终解决提供了伦理支持。     

媒介使用与政府环境治理绩效的公众满意度——基于全国代表性数据的实证研究

媒介使用在环境治理中所发挥的作用正日益受到学界的关注。基于中国综合社会调查2013年（CGSS2013）的数据,使用Ordered Probit回归建立模型,分析不同类型的媒介使用对于政府环境治理绩效的公众满意度的影响。研究结果表明,在控制其他变量的影响后,在中央政府和地方政府两个层面,传统媒介（报纸、杂志、广播、电视）使用对政府环境治理绩效的公众满意度均具有显著的正向效应,新媒介（互联网和手机）使用对政府环境治理绩效的公众满意度均具有显著的负向效应。在中央政府层面,新媒介对于政府环境治理绩效的公众满意度的影响要显著高于传统媒介。基于对研究发现的讨论,建议政府在传统媒介平台上满足公众多元化的环境信息需求,着手从新媒介平台搜集公众建议以改进环境治理,重点针对新媒介平台上的环境热点事件制定解决方案。     

实践法理学与环境法学的新视角

实践法理学把法视为实践的智慧,从主体间性的哲学立场上把行动中的法看做是规范与事实相互关照的连续性结果和具有说服力的意见。从实践法理学的角度出发,环境法学的中国问题应该是政府失灵。环境法的哲学基础是主体间性范式下的生态体认观。环境法治的等置实践就在于认识社会事实与环境法规范的对立,推动政府环境信息公开和培育社会的环保理念。

城市“外来蓝领”的就业与社会融合

利用中国人民大学人口与发展研究中心2005年7月在广东省惠州市的调查数据,以数家企业中的"外来蓝领"(即工厂、企业中的外来务工人员)为样本,对这些在企业中工作的外来务工人员的就业状况和社会融合进行分析。结果表明,这些"外来蓝领"对务工地的选择并非是盲目的,他们外出的动机开始呈现多元化趋势;随着国家一系列关于农民工培训和保障政策的出台,接受调查的大多数"外来蓝领"与用人单位之间签订了劳动合同,并对合同的内容有一定的了解,然而他们对政府的法规依赖性高,并且由于户口的限制,他们的社会保险在实施层面还存在较大的不足;尽管"外来蓝领"在与社区融合方面表现出较强的能力,但是同城市当地人之间的交流缺乏,造成其社会融合程度低,形成了"蚁巢"现象。     

Undercover policing and the spectre of ‘domestic extremism’: the covert surveillance of environmental activism in Britain

The spectre of environmental ‘domestic extremism’ has long been postulated by police leaders and security analysts in Britain. It is a narrative that has justified the commitment of enormous amounts of government resources towards police intelligence work directed at non-violent direct action campaigns. Most controversially, this has included the long-term infiltration of environmental (and other) activist groups by undercover police. This article provides a critical analysis of the justifications put forward in support of the covert surveillance of environmental activists in Britain. The paper proceeds by way of a single case study – a high profile, environmental direct action protest in the north of England – in order to reveal the levels of abuse, manipulation and deception at the basis of undercover protest policing. Through their court case, the activists involved with this action were able to obtain rare insights into the police authorisation documents for the undercover operation that had led to their arrests. An analysis of these documents provides us with a glimpse of the contradictory justifications given by senior police officers for infiltration – now under scrutiny by a public inquiry.     

The Impact of the Physical Home Environment for Family Carers of People with Dementia: A Qualitative Study

Background: The majority of people with dementia are cared for by their families at home. This study aimed to elicit family carers' perceptions on home environmental aspects and strategies with the view to identify barriers and facilitators when caring for a person with dementia at home.

Design and methods: Thirteen co-resident family carers were engaged in semi-structured in-depth walking interviews. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis.

Results: Home environments can pose a number of challenges and opportunities. Aspects of the architectural and interior environment (e.g. size, condition, layout and accessibility, familiarity) are perceived as important (Theme 1) as well as a plethora of environmental strategies that encourage independence and comfort at home (Theme 2). Carers' scepticism, timing, costs, property characteristics and mistrust to services are some barriers to implementing environmental strategies (Theme 3).

Conclusions: Carers improvised solutions via trial and error and need further education on strategies to create an enabling and comfortable home environment.     

Accounting for the Performance of Environmentally Significant Behavior: The Symbolic Significance of Recycling

The scientific community has pronounced climate change unequivocal and its consequences disastrous. Yet Americans' behavioral response to the global social problem of environmental degradation has been largely confined to the individual act of recycling. This article examines why Americans are not doing more to address climate change and other environmental issues. Taking a cognitive sociological perspective, I describe how Americans think about environmental issues and pro‐environmental behavior. I draw on Swidler's concept of a “cultural tool kit,” to examine the cultural narratives Americans use to account for the small amount of pro‐environmental behavior they perform. The act of recycling functions as a synecdoche for pro‐environmental behavior in general, allowing individuals to over‐claim the significance of a modest amount of pro‐environmental behavior. I argue that Americans' failure to engage with environmental issues at a collective level is rooted in the individualized culture of American environmentalism.
