A rising generation of Europeans? Life‐cycle and cohort effects on support for ‘Europe’

Despite much research on age and attitudes, it remains unclear whether age reflects accumulated life experience or conditions prevailing during an individual's formative years – that is, a life‐cycle effect or a cohort effect. In respect to attitudes towards the European Union (EU), the issue is particularly important. Although many analyses indicate a correlation between age and support, the relationship has not been adequately theorised and extant analyses have generated contradictory results. In this article, theoretical expectations for both life‐cycle and cohort effects on support for the EU are developed and tested using a cross random effects model. This not only identifies the nature of an age‐support relationship, but also highlights substantial generational differences in attitudes towards European integration and explains the inconsistencies in extant empirical analyses.     

居住区类型对新生代农民工城市融入影响的实证研究

新生代农民工的城市融入问题是国内学术界重点关注的问题,这一研究综合了纵向和横向两种分化视角。从整体上来说,"空间融合型"新生代农民工的城市融入情况要好于"空间隔离型"新生代农民工。为了实现新生代农民工的城市融入,必须要改变当前新生代农民工在居住空间上与城市居民相互隔离的现状,使新生代农民工与城市居民在居住空间上融合在一起。     

二重与多维:融入进程中的社会认同——北京市新生代农民工社会认同研究

通过对北京市新生代农民工9206份调查问卷的数据分析和访谈发现,北京市新生代农民工社会认同的现状为:对公共政策歧视度呈中性偏消极评价;与市民的人际交往状况较差,但未现隔离与排斥之势;对现代性的城市文化初步接纳与认同;自我身份认同游离于"市民"与"农民"之间。北京市新生代农民工社会认同总体呈现广度上的多维性与深度上的二重性特征。     

Introduction of the python script MHinNGS for analysis of microhaplotypes

MHinNGS is a Python application developed for analysis of microhaplotypes (MHs) in single-end sequencing data. MHinNGS analyses reads in standard formats and store each sequence into bins, one bin for each MH as defined by the two flanking sequences. MHinNGS requires a reference genome and a configuration file with information about each locus. Four mandatory and 15 optional criteria defined in the configuration file allow detailed locus-specific analyses of the MH loci. The program 1) removes noise, 2) identify and name alleles, 3) test the genotypes, and 4) test unique sequences not identified as noise or alleles. MHinNGS produces a result file, where every unique sequence that passed the noise filter is presented with MH allele, read depth, warning flags based on the genotyping criteria, sequence, heterozygote balance, and MH name. Furthermore, variation in other parts of the fragment that is not defined as SNPs in the MH, linked variants, or rare SNPs are listed in a separate column of the result file.     

中国汉族人群中Dia抗原和Dib抗原的分子遗传分析

目的研究中国汉族人群Diego血型系统中Dia和Dib抗原表达的分子遗传背景。方法采用血型血清学方法对2990例非血缘关系的捐血者进行Diego血型鉴定,从中随机选择20例表现型为Di(a-b )的样本,以及筛选到的所有Di(a b-)稀有血型样本,采用PCR-SSP、DNA直接测序方法分析Diego血型基因的分子遗传背景。结果2990例捐血者中,发现Di(a b-)表现型2例,Di(a b )167例,Di(a-b )2821例。随机选择的20例表现型为Di(a-b )的DNA样本,经PCR-SSP法检测的基因型为DI2DI2,对DI基因第19外显子直接测序,2561位上碱基为C。2例稀有血型Di(a b-)的DNA序列在19外显子2561位上碱基为T,基因型为DI1DI1。结论中国汉族人群Dia和Dib抗原表达的分子遗传基础是DI基因第19外显子2561位上碱基T-C的置换,引起第854位氨基酸的改变。     

Young American China Watchers＇ Views on China

In this paper, the author has made a thorough study over the new generation of American China Watchers. Most of the pages are devoted to a detailed comparison between the old generation and the young generation of American China Watchers regarding to their background, education, and views over China. At the end of the paper, the author also gives some policy suggestions for both the Chinese and U.S. government based on the findings in this study.     

代际差异:Y县外来人口二代犯罪问题研究

随着Y县经济的发展,外来人口日益增多,该群体在为当地经济作出巨大贡献的同时,也带来了诸多的社会问题。特别是近几年外来人口二代违法犯罪呈明显上升趋势,而且犯罪的严重性也日益凸现。这不仅影响城市的和谐与发展,甚至有可能引起社会的不稳定。本文运用比较分析的方法,基于代际差异的视角,从犯罪主体、犯罪手段、犯罪形式以及犯罪动机等方面对外来人口二代与外来人口第一代进行比较,得出外来人口二代犯罪的成因是缘于城市边缘人的困惑、自控能力的缺失和心理失衡的加大等,并由此提出治理外来人口二代犯罪问题的对策措施。

Let's Get Public Administration Right,But in What Sequence?: Lessons from Japan and Singapore

The so‐called Good Governance Model requires perfect public administration that is accountable, efficient, equitable, representative, responsive and transparent and that respects the rule of law. Accordingly, the Good Governance Movement promotes a variety of public administration reforms worldwide. However, the effectiveness of promoting all kinds of administrative reforms at once is in question, because that could overwhelm the reform capability of countries, and more important, some reforms can compete with, rather than complement, one another. Such scenarios are possible, and the implication is clear: administrative reform discourse must consider how to best sequence and prioritize reforms, the outcomes of which must be identified. The experiences of Japan and Singapore offer some insight into this. This study first codifies administrative reforms by using the concepts of administrative themes, and it systematically traces, compares and contrasts reforms in both countries in light of these themes. This leads to the conclusion that the sequences in which administrative reforms evolved in those places contributed to dissimilarities in their administrative traditions today.
