论恐怖主义组织与传统犯罪组织的交叉发展问题

恐怖主义组织的发展动态受到许多国家政府的关注,反恐专家们也十分关心这个问题。根据我们观察,恐怖主义组织正在寻求更为广阔的活动领域,并试图建立更为广泛的组织系统,因为传统的有组织犯罪具备可利用为恐怖犯罪的条件,但这一观点有待于进一步的实证研究。而传统的有组织犯罪是否可能与恐怖主义合作,以谋取更大的利益,对此担心也不无道理,我们以东南亚为例尽可能详尽地加以讨论。     

Gender,Politics and the State: What Do Middle Eastern Women Want?

The essays that follow are drawn from invited presentations of the Conference Group on the Middle East, which meets annually in conjunction with the American Political Science Association. The essays published here were presented in San Francisco, August 29-September 1, 1996, on one of three panels dealing with gender, politics and the state. Thanks to the continuing generosity of the Ford Foundation, five scholars from the Middle East were able to participate. The contributors would like to thank Farhad Kazemi, Deborah Gerner and Jean Lecafor their excellent comments at the panels. Louis J. Cantori, who has shepherded the Conference Group since its creation by a group of University of Chicago graduates more than a decade ago, deserves special thanks for his tireless commitment.

E-commerce （EC） can be an important source of competitive advantage for most business organizations, especially small and medium enterprise （SME） businesses. This study examines the factors that influence e-commerce adoption in one Iranian SME. Inspired by the extended model of TAM2 and TPB and cost saving variable, 5 factors influencing intention to use e-commerce in Iranian SMEs were also identified as follows perceived usefulness, subjective norm, perceived behavior control, attitude for using EC, cost saving. To validate the research model, 82 questionnaires were collected from top managers/owners and experts of SMEs. The results indicate that the subjective norm, perceived usefulness, perceived behavioral control and cost saving have positive influence on attitude toward use, also the cost saving, perceived usefulness and attitude have positive influence on intention to use. Results can be used by developing countries, especially those in Middle East, to encourage the adoption of e-commerce among SMEs.     

The alluring voice/the allure of film (theaters): the formation of the voice in the Japanese cinema of the prewar period

Abstract

Kitada Akihiro provides a historical overview of film presentation as a transient business, its migration into dedicated cinemas, and the concomitant rise and fall of benshi film explainer culture, as silent film incorporating a narrative developed out of simplistic ‘moving pictures,’ only to be gradually replaced by ‘talkies.’ He does so by following the career of Tokugawa Musei, one of the most prominent benshi of the 1920s and 1930s, from beginning to end; in describing the changes in audience composition and expectations, he outlines the transition from the showman-like VOICE「声」 to the more ‘talkie’-like voice «声».
