论影响民族地区法治建设的因素——以四川凉山州彝族自治州为例

中华人民共和国是一个以汉族为主体,还有55个少数民族组成的统一的单一制国家。在少数民族聚居地方,实行民族区域自治,从而实现各民族团结、平等、进步和共同繁荣。依法治国方略,在西部民族地区仍然是实施该地区繁荣进步的基本策略。在西部大开发及加入WTO的大环境下,如何优化民族地区的发展环境,趋利避害,抓住机遇,发展经济,客观上也要求民族地区应有一个良好的法制环境。西部民族地区的法治建设,应充分考虑到各少数民族的历史、经济、人文、宗教、习惯等因素。     

对文学作品中女性意象的心理机质探究

当代文学创作和文学评论对女性意象的描写与分析多从女性所处的现实社会环境入手,即按因果规律来解释女性意象,使得作品和评论中的女性意象缺乏人性美,未达到人性审美层次。女性个体不应仅仅从外部和个体分析,还应当从女性心理结构入手,分析女性深层心理因素。     

Churning races in Canada: Visible minority response change between 2006 and 2011

Why do most people have stable responses to census race questions, while some do not? Using linked Canadian data, we examine personal, social, and economic characteristics that predict response stability as White or as one of six large visible minority groups, versus a change in response to/from White or to/from another visible minority group. Response change rates in Canada are generally comparable to those in the US, UK, and New Zealand. Likely reflecting the centuries-old hegemony of Whites in these countries, White is the most stable response group in Canada as well as the US, UK, and New Zealand. Multiple-race response groups are among the newest and least stable response groups. Social statuses and experiences (mixed ethnic heritage, immigration status, and exposure to own-group members) are generally more predictive of race response stability and change than economic (income level and change in income) or personal statuses (education, age). This highlights the socially-constructed nature of race group boundaries. Joining and leaving a group are often predicted by the same status/characteristic and in the same direction, hinting that the status/characteristic adds complexity to the race-related experiences of constituents.     

The 2015 welfare reform of the National Basic Livelihood Security System in South Korea: Effects on economic outcomes

In July 2015, South Korea’s National Basic Livelihood Security System (NBLSS) was reformed for the purposes of eliminating welfare blind spots and reducing poverty. The reform is expected to affect the recipients’ economic behaviours and choices. In this study, we used changes in benefits and eligibility for the NBLSS under the customised benefit system to identify the effects of the change in the NBLSS on a proposed set of economic outcomes – income, labour supply, consumption, savings, poverty reduction. To estimate the effects, we used data from the 10th–12th waves of the Korea Welfare Panel Study and employed a difference‐in‐differences framework integrated with the propensity scores. We found that the NBLSS helps the poor to reduce financial and material hardships through income and consumption increments, but that it does not provide disincentives to the recipients from participating in the labour market or from saving.     

Quantifying the similarity of 2D images using edge pixels: an application to the forensic comparison of footwear impressions

We propose a novel method to quantify the similarity between an impression (Q) from an unknown source and a test impression (K) from a known source. Using the property of geometrical congruence in the impressions, the degree of correspondence is quantified using ideas from graph theory and maximum clique (MC). The algorithm uses the x and y coordinates of the edges in the images as the data. We focus on local areas in Q and the corresponding regions in K and extract features for comparison. Using pairs of images with known origin, we train a random forest to classify pairs into mates and non-mates. We collected impressions from 60 pairs of shoes of the same brand and model, worn over six months. Using a different set of very similar shoes, we evaluated the performance of the algorithm in terms of the accuracy with which it correctly classified images into source classes. Using classification error rates and ROC curves, we compare the proposed method to other algorithms in the literature and show that for these data, our method shows good classification performance relative to other methods. The algorithm can be implemented with the R package shoeprintr.     

南京国民政府公务员考选制度的近代化意义

南京国民政府公务员考选制度是中国历史上第一个准现代化的人事考试制度,考选人才方面既吸收了古代考试的公平精神又采纳了西方文官考试的先进理念,具备了近代化的特征。从人才的选拔看具备了公平性,但体制的缺陷使其任用的成效不尽人意,阻碍了它近代化的进程。     

鲁迅与波德莱尔的话语共鸣

《野草》和《巴黎的忧郁》是鲁迅和波德莱尔的散文诗集,两位伟大的作家选择了相同的文体,运用象征手法,选择特有的意象,表达时代的抑郁和苦闷。由此形成了两者的话语共鸣,体味出新的审美典范。散文诗以其特殊的话语形态表达作者的心理情感及其想像空间,鲁迅与波德莱尔一方面具备写作散文诗的特质,另一方面时代也促成了他们选择这样的话语形态,由此透过两位大作家的文字,我们体味到两者文本之中的话语共鸣——精神的忧郁、心灵的苦闷;同时也体味到世界文学的共鸣。     

数字媒介时代文学中图像符号的叙事

在21世纪的数字网络媒介语境中,用图像符号进行叙事表达渐成主导。文学文本中的图像符号的功能也在扩大,有的图像符号在文学文本中主要起装饰美化和引发读者兴趣的作用,有的图像符号的叙事功能已经无法被语言文字取代。图像符号作为文学的辅助性符号,与语言符号一同在文学文本中组织叙事,这不但影响了文学文本的形态和审美,对文学的形态、形象和意蕴也产生了重大影响。     

象征主义视野下的梦窗词

梦窗词大异于传统审美旨趣,古今毁誉甚殊。词作的晦涩难解,是造成对其评价褒贬不一的根由所在。梦窗词幽隐朦胧的艺术特征类似于象征主义的美学风貌,其创作的形式技巧与象征主义诗学也具有诸多暗合之处,这种相通处主要表现在以下两方面:一是意象化的整体隐喻,二是直觉性的生命意识。     

费瑟斯通消费文化的审美维度

在当代英国著名社会学家费瑟斯通看来,当今社会从某种意义说就是消费社会,消费社会具有后现代特性,在消费社会,日常生活具有审美特性,影像具有重要意义,文化媒介人成为新审美生活方式的创造者和传播者。
