Hope for a Cause as Cause for Hope: The Need for Hope in Environmental Sociology

Hope is a crucial component of agency involving the setting of goals, visualization of obstacles, and increasing willpower in the effort of achieving a desired goal. This hope is not simply optimism and is potentially a bridge between structure and agency. Yet, the powers of hope in sociology have been greatly unexplored including the ability of collective hope to create social change. This lack of hope is particularly poignant in environmental sociology as the sub-discipline looks for solutions to some of the greatest challenges humanity and the planet faces. This article discusses the undercurrent of pessimism in environmental sociology and calls for the integration of hope as it is necessary for generating potential social environmental change.     

论发展我国技术权力的路径选择

技术权力在当代已现实地相对独立地存在。具有成长过程对政治权力的依赖性、伸展性和延效性;拥有过程中的时效性和发散性,以及相对独立状态中的工具性效用等特征。发展技术权力是我国和平崛起的根本路径。获得和扩张技术权力的微观路径是要通过科技创新,尤其是自主创新形成系列的技术专利,而宏观路径是要通过国家的政策安排,把创新精神作为国家意志,作为科研单位、企业主体、政府部门的一致行为。     

农村社会养老保险制度变迁路径依赖及创新

在农村传统养老保障制度安排出现不均衡的情况下 ,我国政府从 2 0世纪 80年代中期开始推行农村社会养老保险制度改革。然而 ,由于新供给制度的路径受初始制度安排的影响 ,制度变迁显示出强烈的路径依赖特征。如何退出这种非绩效的闭锁状态 ,是建立现代农村社会养老保险制度的关键。     

旱栽水稻产量构成因素的通径分析

本文对旱栽水稻产量构成因素进行相关和通径分析,结果表明:亩有效穗(x_1)、一穗颖花数(x_2),一穗粒数(x_3)、千粒重(x_4)和小区生物产量(x_5)与籽粒产量(y)的表型和遗传相关都极显著;对 y 的直接贡献:x_3>x_1>x_2>x_4>x_5;对 y 的间接贡献:x_3→x_2→Y 的贡献较大,x_5主要是通过其它四个性状对 y作出贡献。分析结果指出:x_3对旱栽水稻产量的影响较大。因此,在本试验条件下,应主攻穗粒数,才有利于实现旱栽水稻的高产目标。     

Effects of Remanufacturable Product Design on Market Segmentation and the Environment

Despite documented benefits of remanufacturing, many manufacturers have yet to embrace the idea of tapping into remanufactured‐goods markets. In this article, we explore this dichotomy and analyze the effect of remanufacturable product design on market segmentation and product and trade‐in prices by studying a two‐stage profit‐maximization problem in which a price‐setting manufacturer can choose whether or not to open a remanufactured‐goods market for its product. Our results suggest that it is optimal for a manufacturer to design a remanufacturable product when the value‐added from remanufacturing is relatively high but product durability is relatively low and innovation is nominal. In addition, we find that entering a remanufactured‐goods market in and of itself does not necessarily translate into environmental friendliness. On the one hand, the optimal trade‐in program could result in low return and/or remanufacturing rates. On the other hand, a low price for remanufactured products could attract higher demand and thereby potentially result in more damage to the environment. Meanwhile, external restrictions imposed on total greenhouse gas emissions draw criticism in their own right because they risk stifling growth or reducing overall consumer welfare. Given these trade‐offs, we therefore develop and compare several measures of environmental efficiency and conclude that emissions per revenue can serve as the best proxy for emissions as a metric for measuring overall environmental stewardship.     

论马克思主义大众化与中国传统文化大众化一体化发展

推进马克思主义大众化与中国传统文化大众化一体化发展是使马克思主义中国化步入新境界的一条必由之路。两种“大众化”的一体化既指理论阐释上马克思主义要充分吸纳传统文化,传统文化经过转型要充分地马克思主义化,也是指两种“大众化”并非彼此隔离的两个行动系列,而是合二而一的一个行动。“一体化”凸显了当代中国马克思主义的革命精神和传统意识。其具体的实践路径包括理论诠释与理论创新两个方面。     

Transforming Social Work Curricula: Institutional Supports for Promoting Sustainability

Due to the centrality of human rights and social justice in the profession, social work must collectively take a stand on ecological degradation and the climate crisis. Overall, social work education's engagement with issues of sustainability and an expanded ecological justice perspective has been peripheral and piecemeal. It is crucial that social work education expand opportunities to prepare social workers to respond to the global environmental crisis. This conceptual paper considers strategies for integrating environmental content in social work curricula and addresses the essential role of institutional supports for curricular change and professional development focused on sustainability. The role of institutional supports to advance curricular change to respond to environmental crises and promote sustainability is highlighted, along with specific examples from the authors' home institution, including (1) institutional commitment and culture, (2) curricular supports and guidelines, and (3) interdisciplinary faculty development.     

我国环境税立法问题研究

改革开放三十年,我国经济突飞猛进,但严重的环境污染与生态破坏问题也随之而来.按照经济学理论,运用经济手段保护环境较传统方式更具优势.世界环境保护的发展实践用事实证明,构建环境税法律制度是解决我国当前环境保护困局的有效办法.基于现行的排污收费制度奠定的良好基础和国外开征环境税的丰富经验,我国建立环境税法律制度已具有现实可能性.汲取我国环境保护制度的经验教训,环境税不能变成政府增加其财政收入的工具,其征税对象、税率设定、征收管理等方面的设计均要体现解决环境问题、保护生态环境的设立初衷.     

论中国特色社会主义法治道路的本质特征

2014年10月召开的中国共产党十八届四中全会明确指出"坚定不移走中国特色社会主义法治道路",这标志着中国特色社会主义法治道路已经形成。其本质特征主要体现在四个方面,即在社会主义初级阶段基础上的法治道路;由执政党直接领导和推进的法治道路;突出依法执政的法治道路;立足中国国情,并吸取人类其他法治有益经验的法治道路。     

以法治方式加强党风建设的新路径探索

法治方式是十八大以来中国共产党探索出来的加强党风建设的新路径。整党整风运动式、会议专题式、法治方式是中国共产党九十多年来加强党风建设的三种方式,而法治方式是新方式与新选择。以法治方式加强党风建设的具体路径有五个方面：一是培育党员领导干部的“法治”意识与价值观念。二是清理完善党内法规制度,构建有法可依的党内法制体系。三是构建规范权力运行的制约和监督体系。四是搭建追逃追赃国际平台,加快对外逃人员的法制惩处。五是强化警示,定期发布党员领导干部的贪腐案例。以法治方式加强党风建设要处理好党内法规与国家法制的关系、加大党员领导干部相关事项的信息透明度与公开性、借鉴成功经验构建廉政文化。
