“岂不怀匡济,天运当何如”──论天然禅师的安攘匡济情怀与通脱的应世方式

清初岭南佛门领袖天然禅师,年轻时抱有强烈的报国安民的情怀。虽然在明亡之前即已剃度,但安攘济世之心并未泯灭。甲申、乙酉之后,身为僧人的他,并未真正弃绝世事。他的一些行为仍与变乱的时局密切相关。其后,他在诗歌中不断地抒写着故国丘墟之感。其沧海桑田之作俨然前明遗民。尽管如此,他并没有拒绝与新朝官员的交接。甚至其诗歌中还有一些肯定新朝官员的作品。可以看出天然禅师在应世方式上是相当通脱的。     

《镜花缘》中李汝珍尚才主智的价值观

《镜花缘》是李汝珍在清乾嘉时期写下的作品。书中才女形象群的庞大是前代小说中所罕见的,亦由此集中而明确地反映了作者尚才主智的价值观念。这种价值观与当时的汉学学风和李汝珍师友的汉学思想影响以及因其自身的仕途坎坷经历而产生的理想自寓密切相关。     

征地过程中的退出意愿、受偿诉求与行为策略——基于被征地者视角的本土研究述评

进入经济高速增长期和社会快速转型期的中国，导致了被征地者这一焦点群体的迅速激增。作为征地制度改革和基层社会治理的重要承载体，该群体在征地过程中的退出意愿、受偿诉求与行为策略等问题已得到不少本土情景下的实证研究的重视，形成了一系列有影响的研究成果。围绕“退出意愿”，研究者提出了个体特征论、家庭结构论、空间区位论、发展期望论、身份锚定论、政策认知论六种理论假说。围绕“受偿诉求”，除了通常作为谈判之焦点的补偿数额，学者们也揭示出被征地者对于分配方案、程序正义、生存保障的诉求。围绕“行为策略”，研究者主要通过博弈模型、案例分析两种方法进行研究。尽管部分研究已经呈现了上述三个维度之间交融沟通的趋势，但三者各自为阵的孤立局面依旧存在。如何促成被征地者的类型知识、需求学说和行动理论之间的逻辑联结，揭示其中的内在机制，建立出一套整合性框架，应当成为下一步的精进方向。     

Sharing beyond Slacktivism: the effect of socially observable prosocial media sharing on subsequent offline helping behavior

New forms of youth social and political participation have been termed ‘Slacktivism’ – low-cost online forms of social engagement that decrease subsequent offline participation. Previous experimental work has provided support for a ‘Slacktivism effect,’ but it is unclear if this theoretical model applies to youth media sharing on social networking sites. This study uses a novel sharing simulation paradigm to test the effect of publicly vs. anonymously sharing a social cause video on subsequent willingness to engage in offline helping behavior. Results show that publicly (as compared to anonymously) sharing a selected video on one’s own Facebook wall led to a greater willingness to volunteer for an issue-related cause. Participants’ existing use of social media for engagement in social issues/causes moderated the effect, such that only participants low in use of social media for social engagement were susceptible to the sharing manipulation. Implications for reconceptualizing media sharing as a unique form of online participation beyond ‘Slacktivism’ are discussed.

Harnessing civil society's knowledge for development policy: Potential and challenges for the Republic of Yemen

This exploratory case study investigated Yemeni civil society actors’ actual and potential contribution to policy‐making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, in the sectors prioritized in Yemen's national development strategy. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted in Sana'a between January and July 2015 with policy‐makers, researchers from academic institutions and civil society organizations. More specifically, this article discusses the role that YPRIs play in the public policy landscape of Yemen; the challenges they face in their interaction with policy‐makers; the opportunities they represent for policy actors in Yemen; and the factors enabling and limiting their influence, communication, inclusiveness and capacity. The authors conclude by contextualizing their findings within the ongoing conflict and drawing lessons for post‐war policy‐making in Yemen.     

清代词集丛刻的文献价值与词学贡献

清词号为中兴,词集丛刻亦甚为发达,文献保存之功甚巨。清代前期词坛昌盛,词集丛刻如《国朝名家诗馀》等多为今人词集之汇辑,保存了大量当代名家词集。中期的词集丛刻则更多地倾向于中小作家,于此可见更为普泛化群体的创作状况,同时在编选倾向上又受浙派词风和乾嘉学风的影响,呈现出偏重浙西词派和重音律等特征。晚清词集丛刻数量大增,品类丰富,王鹏运的《四印斋所刻词》等搜辑宋元旧集,开启词集校勘之风,词学贡献尤为卓著。     

Transgender employment and entrepreneurialism in Vietnam

This article shares insights from research into the economic opportunities and obstacles that Vietnamese transgender men and women face in a fast-growing economy mainly composed of small and medium-sized enterprises. The findings demonstrate that gender norms lead to economic inequality between trans men and women. They also show that small businesses and entrepreneurship play an important role in creating legitimate and satisfying employment for transgender people.     

Retrospective Reasons for the Initiation of Substance Use

ABSTRACT

Evidence for comorbidity in psychiatric disorders and chemical depend ency suggests that peopie with ad dietion problems use drugs and alcohoito cope with painful affeetive states and symptoms. At the same time, sus tained chem i cal use may also lead to fur ther dam age and mimic symp toms of dis or ders. This study was de signed to build knowledge about the rea sons in-patient and out-patient sub stance abus ers in treatment initially use, and to test if there were dif fer ences be tween gender and eth nie (White non-His panic and Af ri can-Amer i can) groups. Findings in di cated that peo pie not only started using drugs and al co hoi to en hance af feetive states, they also were likely to use chem i cals as a way to cope with pain ful, af feetive symp toms. Gender seemed to play a salient role than ethnieity in that fe males of either ethnieity were more likely than males to end or se items relating to the management of negative af feetive states, for enhancement of skills and prob-lem-solving abilities, and for per ceived lack of alternatives. Implications of this study are provided.     

An Enhanced Double MEWMA Controller for Drifted MIMO Systems

For a drifted multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) system, the double multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (dMEWMA) controller is a popular run-to-run (RTR) controller for adjusting the process mean to a desired target. The stability and performance of dMEWMA controller had been widely studied in literature. Although the dMEWMA controller (with suitable discount matrices) can guarantee long-term stability, it usually requires a moderately large number of runs to bring the process output to approach its desired target if the initial recipe is not chosen appropriately. Due to the initial recipe possibly having an infinite number of feasible solutions for MIMO systems, “how to determine an optimal setting for the initial recipe” turns out to be an interesting research topic. In this article, by solving a constrained optimization problem, we first obtain an optimal initial setting for the input recipe. Then, motivated by this setting, we propose an enhanced dMEWMA controller. The long-term stability conditions and short-term performance of the proposed controller are also addressed. Given a fixed and finite production run, it reveals that the proposed controller has the ability of reducing total mean squared error (TMSE) better than the conventional dMEWMA controller.
