Demographic Shifts in the Czech Republic after 1989: A Second Demographic Transition View

A dramatic change in fertility,family formation and living arrangements tookplace in the Czech Republic over the 1990s. Theestablishment of democracy, profound socialtransformation and transition to the marketeconomy affected the values and demographicbehaviour of the young Czech generation. Thispaper examines whether these demographic shiftscan be interpreted within the framework of thesecond demographic transition. The theoreticalpart discusses the idea of the transition,outlining three distinctive conceptualisations.Two of them – the view of the transition as aprogression of characteristic interrelateddemographic changes and a broader viewstressing the importance of underlyingideational factors – fit the Czech situationvery well. A comparison with the Netherlandsreveals that the onset of the transition in theCzech Republic may be clearly located in thefirst half of the 1990s, lagging two decadesbehind the Netherlands.     

Family Cap and Nonmarital Fertility: The Racial Conditioning of Policy Effects

Using an experimental design, this research examines the effect of the nation's first family cap on the births, abortions, and contraception use of over 8,000 women receiving public assistance in New Jersey. The family cap denies additional cash benefits to children conceived while the mother is receiving public assistance. Our research shows that a targeted welfare benefit manipulation does influence fertility behavior; however, the effect is conditioned by race. We find that Black women in the experimental group have a 21% lower birth rate and a 32% higher abortion rate than Black women in the control group. We do not find a birth effect for Hispanic or White women. We discuss the policy implications of the effects of a segmented family cap.     

伽达默尔的审美意识批判及其启示

伽达默尔对海德格尔的艺术真理学说进行解释学的重构,通过审美意识批判提出理解的真理,并以之作为艺术理论的立足点。伽达默尔指出:康德的审美趣味、席勒的审美王国、哈曼的审美感知、尧斯的审美经验将纯粹的审美意识作为艺术理论的立足点,否弃艺术的作为理解的认识的真理功能,显示了美学对于艺术理论的局限性。伽达默尔的这一批判结果对我国当代文学理论建设和发展极具启迪意义。     

存在品牌转移者和品牌忠诚者的产品差异模型

分析了存在品牌转移者和忠诚者两类特殊消费群情况下的两阶段水平差异模型，其中品牌转移者在选择产品时只考虑价格因素而不考虑运输成本，品牌忠诚者总是选择某一品牌的产品而不管价格和运输成本。讨论了在两阶段选址－定价博弈模型中纯战略均衡存在的条件。

Population Policy in Early Victorian England

This paper argues that the generally-held belief that there was no population policy in Great Britain during its fertility transition is incorrect. There were, in fact, clear and implicit and explicit policies in place by the early 19th Century which aimed at reducing population growth. These were negative, involving elimination of family allowances (the famous Poor Laws), and also positive, through subsidised emigration and ``transportation' of felons to the colonies. Moreover, a changed ``ideation' on the part of the nation's political, intellectual and spiritual leaders, changed norms about marriage and child-bearing, raising sharply the perceived economic and psychic cost of children. Lacking acceptable means to control pregnancies, many working class women resorted to abortion, infanticide and child abandonment to reduce their family size. The policy's actual impact on overall fertility is uncertain but it did constitute a deliberate attempt by society to affect demographic behaviour and outcomes.     

夏夷文野之分与华夏中心意识

华夏中心意识使夏夷文野之分成为夏夷之辨的主流观念。夏夷文野之分又因民族矛盾和中外文化冲突而出现两种极端保守的表述形式———夏夷人禽之别和以地之中外划分夏夷的主张。对中华民族的历史进程而言 ,夏夷文野之分与华夏中心意识具有正反两方面的影响 ,而且随着时间的推移 ,其负面影响日益凸现。     

Couple Attitudes and Agreement Regarding Pregnancy Wantedness in the Philippines

We compare husbands' and wives' views of the wantedness of their most recent pregnancy in the Philippines, a country where relatively high levels of unintended fertility persist. This research is an extension of earlier work that looked separately at individual men's and women's responses. We analyze survey data for 369 couples and find that those most at risk of experiencing a pregnancy that neither spouse wanted tended to be higher parity couples, those who were more fatalistic, those who were practicing Catholics who attended religious services frequently, and those among whom the husband was the sole breadwinner. Higher parity women and older women were also more apt to experience a pregnancy that was wanted by only 1 spouse. Women who had difficulty discussing sexual matters with their husbands were more likely than other women to have a pregnancy that their husbands wanted but they did not.
