Dimensions of occupational inequality and Duncan's socioeconomic index

Using the original 1962 Blau and Duncan data for white males, I compare relative amounts of inequality in the distributions of occupational prestige, earnings, autonomy, and job skills. Also assessed are the degree of status rigidity (or intercorrelations) among these four dimensions of occupational inequality and the simultaneous relations among these four dimensions in a father-to-son occupational mobility model. These findings are compared to those obtained with Duncan's socioeconomic index to determine whether additional information can be obtained when using independent measures representing the multiple dimensions of occupational inequality versus using the SEI alone. Only minor discrepancies are found, and these relate to autonomy and earnings.An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 1985 Pacific Sociological Association meetings.     

Asian Women,Job Training and the Social Organization of Immigrant Labor Markets

This paper examines the entry of Asian immigrant women into a gendered labor market via government-funded job training programs. The focus is on the intake processing of clients into an employment training program operated by a community based organization. The study reveals that women's family responsibilities and the cultural capital they bring function to screen them into or out of training programs and ultimately shape their location in the workforce. The study thus draws attention to how race, class, and gender enter into the organization of Asian immigrant women into the labor market. This investigation is based in institutional ethnography (Smith 1987), a research strategy which displays how activities in a particular setting are coordinated with more extended forms of social organization. The study shows that the overriding concern with successful placement in a job as mandated by government regulations is a critical factor in selecting the women for these programs.     

Worldviews or Social Groups as the Source of Moral Value Attitudes: Implications for the Culture Wars Thesis

Individual moral value attitudes are typically explained by reference to social experiences as indicated by social group variables. Contrary to this view, the emergent culture wars perspective claims that two worldviews that transcend social groups are ultimately and fundamentally responsible for moral value attitudes. Although this relationship has been claimed for the general population, it has not been investigated with national representative data. This paper contrasts the worldview and social group explanations by examining the relative importance of the worldviews implicated in the culture wars literature and the social groups found to be important in previous research. I find social groups to be more important than worldviews, but that worldviews also have explanatory power. I conclude with a discussion about possible clarifications of the culture wars thesis.     

平台权力法律关系的理论构造与规范控制

平台运营方、双方或多方用户间形成的平台权力法律关系的非对称性是导致互联网平台上诸多问题发生的根源。平台权力是平台权力法律关系的决定性要素,其本质是平台基于“看门人”地位、纵向整合能力和信息不对称的优势而获得的社会权力。平台权力的存在,使得平台权力法律关系在内部构造（平台权力关系）中表现为平台对用户的支配关系;用户条款的存在,使得这种支配关系在外部构造（平台法律关系）中被转化并确认为一种平等的合同关系。应当承认用户条款的社区公约地位,加强以用户条款为核心的、由平台与用户共同参与的平台自治,规范平台权力的行使,对用户条款进行备案审查并制定示范性文本。     

中国城市化的重要发展趋势:城市群(圈)的出现及对投资的需求

由于经济全球化的影响和科学技术的进步,以及中国经济的高速发展、经济体制日趋市场化和对外开放的不断扩大,中国的城市化出现了一些新的发展趋势,那就是城市群(圈)的涌现。城市群(圈)的发育和发展,要求有完善的交通、通讯及其他基础设施的支撑,需要大量的投资。     

Solving the part families problem in discrete-parts manufacture by simulated annealing

In the production planning and control of discrete-parts manufacture, aggregation of parts into families, on the basis of similarity, is carried out to ease both long-horizon planning and short-horizon scheduling. Additional advantages are related to those of group technology (GT), such as simplifying the flow of parts and tools and reducing both set-up and production costs. The problem of formally forming part families is presented and discussed. Previous work is reviewed and assessed. Two solution approaches, one based on a location model, the other on simulated annealing, are presented and compared along with test results. The location formulation, which results in an integer programming model solved by Lagrangian relaxation, proved capable of producing solutions of excellent quality, but only for relatively small problem instances. In contrast, simulated annealing, which is a general heuristic approach to combinatorial optimization, produced solutions of comparable quality and could handle realistically large problem instances. However, careful design of the simulated annealing algorithm is crucially important. An effective design is presented.     

苗族的"蒙毕"和"蒙朵"——兼论文化人类学视野下的族群关系

以我国西部散杂区苗族内部两个族群的互动关系为视角,从文化变迁角度进行田野观察,可以得出这样的结论:即族群是在民族其下可再细分的文化变量;族群研究有学院派与田野派之分,二派之间通过采取不同的研究思路,意在更清晰地解读国内人类学学术研究范式的发展趋势。

西方近代政治思想对陕西的影响

鸦片战争以后,西方近代政治思想逐渐传入中国,并对地处中国西北内陆、有深厚传统文化底蕴的陕西产生了巨大的冲击。随着西方近代政治学说在陕西传播的深入,西方近代政治思想对陕西近代社会历史发展的影响也愈以明显。
