How publics’ active and passive communicative behaviors affect their tornado responses: An integration of STOPS and SMCC

During imminent threat crises, such as natural disasters, publics have minutes to decide how to respond after receiving a warning. This study advances understanding of publics’ crisis communicative and noncommunicative behaviors in the context of tornadoes through combining and extending two theories: the social-mediated crisis communication (SMCC) model and the situational theory of problem solving (STOPS). Findings from a survey of Southeast U.S. residents (n = 1,585) indicate that STOPS is internally consistent and accurate at measuring its intended outcomes of communicative action in problem solving. However, the STOPS measures do not have a significant relationship with the desirable outcome for imminent threat crisis communication: individuals following government’s protective action guidance about tornadoes. In comparison, the expanded SMCC model predicts individuals’ self-reported compliance. Finally, variables from the SMCC model and tornado-specific variables were integrated into the STOPS model to explain individuals’ communicative engagement. Implications for theory and public relations practice are discussed.     

Online crisis communication in a post-truth Chinese society: Evidence from interdisciplinary literature

Through a thematic content analysis of 118 journal articles from interdisciplinary fields, this study reviews the research trends of online crisis communication literature in a Chinese post-truth society, where objective facts play a diminishing role, and Chinese people are losing their trust, despite the best efforts of organizations to deal with fake news in crises. Results of this study disclose some unique crisis communication strategies (e.g., strategic distraction, rumor-rebuttal, fabrication, acting cute, and content censorship) in crises of China. Influential contextual factors such as the political system, cultural values, and media features are identified as well. Theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed, and a greater picture of online crisis communication in contexts is posited for future research.     

A critical approach to wage devaluation: The case of Spanish economic recovery

In line with the orientation of EU economic policy, the Spanish government has favoured a strategy of internal devaluation as a way of adjusting price levels within the currency union. The results of empirical studies indicate that the internal devaluation applied in Spain does not seem to have attained the desired goals in terms of reducing the relative prices of exports and consolidating a model of growth based on external demand. Indeed, the estimates drawn up show that tailwinds – the depreciation of the euro and the fall in risk premium as results of the measures taken by the ECB, greater economic activity by trading partners and the fall in the price of oil – exercised a decisive influence in the trends followed by the prices of exports and the balance of trade during the period of crisis management in Spain.     

也论生态美学的哲学基础

生态美学是哲学美学的一个具体分支学科.哲学美学是以艺术为中心研究人对现实的审美关系的科学,人对现实的审美关系包括三个方面：人对自然的审美关系,人对社会（他人）的审美关系,人对自我的审美关系,而生态美学就是研究人对自然的审美关系的科学.因此,不同的哲学美学产生不同的生态美学,不能强求一律,但是“主体间性”不能作为生态美学的哲学基础,因为“主体间性”只是西方现代主义和后现代主义的一种方法论策略,不具有哲学本体论、认识论、价值论的意义,同时,人与自然的关系,包括人对现实的审美关系不可能仅仅是“主体间性”的.所以,以实践唯物主义为哲学基础的实践美学,才真正完整地以实践本体论、实践认识论、实践价值论、实践辩证法为生态美学所研究的人对自然的审美关系提供了主体性的、客体性的、主客体间性的、主体间性的全方位的研究视角.

中国证券公司核心竞争力的内涵与评估——基于美国金融危机的反思

美国金融危机中投资银行普遍经营失败的深刻启示在于:核心竞争力中风险控制和承受能力最重要;核心竞争力的评估和培育必须坚持长期视角.提高证券公司核心竞争力的关键在于培养保障企业稳定盈利和成长并保持一定市场竞争优势的能力,这种能力必须植根于企业良好的治理结构和优秀的企业文化.论文分别建立了中固证券公司核心竞争力的理论指标体系和实证评估指标体系,运用因子分析法对31家中国证券公司竞争力进行综合评价.研究发现:样本公司核心竞争力不强;行业内出现明显分化;市场份顿年均增长、总资产利润率和净资本等指标对核心竞争力的估值有重要影响.     

论科学发展观与我国生态经济学的发展

在分析生态经济学理论优势的基础上,提出一个人口、生产和消费与生态环境关系的研究框架。研究重点主要是在短期内从生产的角度进行生态补偿研究,而长期必须从消费偏好的角度进行研究。在研究方法上,应该借鉴条件价值法、生态足迹和物质流会计、新制度经济学等方法。这样才能使生态经济学走出乌托邦式的哲学范式,接近公众从而找到其动力源泉。

从结构化思维到整体化思维——基于生态马克思主义的中国社会发展思考

生态马克思主义以生态学与社会发展相结合的方法,批判现代资本主义社会中经济理性、人性异化,将社会发展的前景寄予"生态"的追寻之中。生态马克思主义一方面批判西方传统哲学的结构化思维方式,认为结构化思维促成了现代资本主义经济的偏执发展,弱化了社会其它层面的应有发展;一方面倡导生态马克思主义的整体化思维方式,提出建立整体化社会发展的可能路径,要求人与自然、人与社会的整体性的相互交织的共同发展。整体化思维与整体性发展的"生态式"思考,为当今中国的社会发展提供了可参考的视角,为"五位一体"的生态文明建设提供了可借鉴的路径。     

《资本论》中的货币危机理论

对于资本主义经济危机,马克思将其本质概括为生产相对过剩危机和货币危机,后者的理论含义和重要性长期为人们所忽视。文章对《资本论》中货币危机相关内容进行了归纳和整理,对货币危机思想进行了初步的阐释,有助于加深对货币、经济危机以及资本主义经济关系中所蕴涵的内在矛盾的理解。
