阿伊·哈努姆遗址与"希腊化"时期东西方诸文明的互动

阿伊.哈努姆遗址是迄今为止在中亚地区原巴克特里亚(大夏)希腊人王国统治区域发现的唯一完整的希腊式城市。它的出土是希腊化文明研究史上的重大突破。它不仅是希腊人在中亚地区长期立足统治的见证,而且是东西方文明在这一地区相互交流融合的产物。从该遗址上,我们既可以感受到明显的希腊文化特征,也可以感受到当地文化的强烈影响。它说明,虽然有的文明可能在一段历史时间内借助于军事和政治手段的推动,凌驾于其他文明之上,但最终的结局仍然难免融入当地文化的汪洋大海之中。     

我国视频网站发展态势与前瞻

网络视频在我国经历了七年多的竞合发展。与国外的差异化发展模式不同,我国的视频网站呈现内容多样、各有侧重的特点。目前视频网站既有"旧病"又有"近忧",用户粘性不强成为其面临的核心问题。未来视频网站发展应在内容和技术两个层面着力。在内容层面,应建立内容生态圈,发展网络院线;在技术层面,应实现情境化播放,利用好大数据挖掘技术。     

浅论现场教学在延安精神传播中的运用

延安得天独厚的历史条件和延安精神的博大精深,使许多干部培训和实践教学活动都在延安进行。原有的、传统的室内教学方式很难达到应有的效果,而现场教学则弥补这一不足。现场教学正在不断运用于延安精神的传播殿堂,选择适当的教学内容和与其相适应的教学地点,设计完整的教学环节,才能在延安精神的传播过程中发挥其作用。

Using Integrated Geospatial Mapping and Conceptual Site Models to Guide Risk-Based Environmental Clean-Up Decisions

Government and private sector organizations are increasingly turning to the use of maps and other visual models to provide a depiction of environmental hazards and the potential risks they represent to humans and ecosystems. Frequently, the graphic presentation is tailored to address a specific contaminant, its location and possible exposure pathways, and potential receptors. Its format is usually driven by the data available, choice of graphics technology, and the audience being served. A format that is effective for displaying one contaminant at one scale at one site, however, may be ineffective in accurately portraying the circumstances surrounding a different contaminant at the same site, or the same contaminant at a different site, because of limitations in available data or the graphics technology being used. This is the daunting challenge facing the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), which is responsible for the nation's legacy wastes from nuclear weapons research, testing, and production at over 100 sites in the United States. In this article, we discuss the development and use of integrated geospatial mapping and conceptual site models to identify hazards and evaluate alternative long-term environmental clean-up strategies at DOE sites located across the United States. While the DOE probably has the greatest need for such information, the Department of Defense and other public and private responsible parties for many large and controversial National Priority List or Superfund sites would benefit from a similar approach.     

Perception of Risk and Credibility at Toxic Sites

This study integrates previous research methodologies to compare the risk perceptions and responses to risk messages of agency personnel and neighbors of Superfund sites in Michigan. The integration attempted and the focus on risk messages are shaped by a critical review of the social amplification conceptual framework. The study involved all four agency groups and three groups of site neighbors actively involved in Superfund planning across the state. The first part of the study utilized the psychometric techniques of hazard rating and hazard profiles that had not previously been used in studies involving stakeholders. While agency personnel responded similarly to experts in previous studies, the responses of individuals in the neighbor groups reflected experience with toxic sites and were dissimilar to previous ratings by the general public. The second part of the study consisted of a hypothetical toxic site scenario that focused on specific risk messages at different times in the site history. Results indicate that the difference in perception of risk occurs after the first testing at a site, and that dramatic differences arise between agency and resident groups regarding the credibility of information sources and the need for independent testing. A general lack of trust in the Superfund program was demonstrated by all groups. The results indicate that problems of institutional credibility and program adequacy cannot be addressed by better risk communication.     

Estimated Risk of Occupational Fatalities Associated with Hazardous Waste Site Remediation

This study presents a method to assess short term traumatic fatality risks for workers involved in hazardous waste site remediation to provide a quantitative, rather than qualitative, basis for evaluating occupational exposures in remediation feasibility studies. Occupational employment and fatality data for the years 1979–1981 and 1983 were compiled from Bureau of Labor Statistics data for 11 states. These data were analyzed for 17 occupations associated with three common remediation alternatives: excavation and landfill, capping, and capping plus slurry wall. The two occupations with the highest death rates, truck driver and laborer, contributed most to total exposure hours in each alternative. Weighted average death rates were produced for each alternative and multiplied by respective total person-years of exposure. The resultant expected number of fatalities was converted, using the Poisson distribution, to the risk of experiencing at least one fatality, as follows: 0.149 for excavation and landfill, 0.012 for capping, and 0.014 for capping plus slurry wall. These risks were discussed in light of the need to obtain more reliable and comprehensive data than are currently available on the occupational safety and health risks associated with hazardous waste site remediation and the need for a more scientific, quantitative approach to remediation decisions involving risks to workers.     

Repositioning the research encounter: exploring power dynamics and positionality in youth research

Childhood and youth studies have seen the development of a range of innovative research methods over the past two decades. However, many studies have focused on the ideals of empowerment and ‘giving voice’ rather than developing understandings of the nuanced and complex experiences of children and youth. This paper argues that the development of an insightful sociology of childhood and youth necessitates an understanding of complex, fluid, and often political, processes of youth experience. It argues that the use of research methods characterized by a variety of power dynamics can generate situated knowledges of youth experience. Ongoing reflexive analysis of researcher and participant positionality in research encounters is posited as affording insightful and in-depth research perspectives. This is illustrated through discussion of qualitative research carried out with Muslim teens in the west of Ireland which involved the use of focus groups, visual narratives and an online blog site.
