Propaganda,effect, and the cold war: Gauging the status of america's “war of words”

The article examines the interrelationship among propaganda, effect, and the Cold War during congressional debates over America's first peacetime propaganda program. Although the rise of the communication research paradigm affected the production of statistical evidence to measure the effectiveness of America's Cold War propaganda, this case study argues that the “war of words” metaphor further heightened the need for empirical proof of America's status in that conflict, Just as with any physical battle that relies on body counts and land measurements to determine the success of America's war efforts, the criteria for measuring the status of America's “war of words” were driven by a similar demand for “objective” proof. The longevity of the Cold War helped ensure the institutionalization of the communication research paradigm, which rejected the use of anecdotal evidence as support for the program's impact.     

城中村多元改造模式与村民市民化

城中村改造是我国城市化进程中面临的共性问题。因各地的具体情况有差异,城中村改造的模式也不同,总体思路概括起来就是土地经营资本化并且将城中村居民现在的生活与日后的生活进行平衡考虑。城中村居民市民化一般要经过四个步骤：拆迁补偿、稳定就业、自主创业、全方位提高。期间城中村居民的代际差异很突出。考虑到各种因素的综合影响,城中村改造不能整齐划一,需要从宏观和微观等多层面入手探索创新改造模式。     

“新农保”个人缴费“捆绑制”的实践考察与理论研判

在实现快速发展、取得显著成果的同时，“新农保”在实施过程中也暴露出了一些问题，其中，个人缴费“捆绑制”引发了巨大争议。批评者认为，“捆绑制”系“新农保”制度设计的最大败笔，已成为制约其深入发展的“桎梏”。从实践来看，“捆绑制”虽存在一些问题，但绝非如批评者所言之“不堪”。立足农村现实情况，综合考量相关因素，目前还应坚持“捆绑制”，同时须在具体制度设计上加以完善。     

Economic Development,Change of Age Distribution,and Stream Analogy of Homicide and Suicide: A Cross-National Assessment

The current study tests the stream analogy of lethal violence, proposed by Unnithan et al. on a large sample of 124 nations. Spatial econometric regression models confirm that economic development decreases homicide rate and increases suicide–homicide ratio (SHR). The SHR developed by Unnithan et al. accounts for the impact of economic development better than original measure of suicide rate. The most important finding of the current investigation is that the increase in the population size of the elderly, consequent to economic development, is partially responsible for elevated suicide rates and SHRs.     

社会本位法律观之批判

在法律的本位上历来有国家本位、社会本位与个人本位之争，而自19世纪以来，社会本位法律观就成为主导性的法学思潮。社会本位法律观的主要缺陷是：在人的模式上，社会人的预设隐含着对个人及其权利、自由的漠视；在方法论上，将整体作为推演理论的前提，本质上颠倒了个人与社会的关系；在法律实践上，法律扩张业已导致个人生活的“殖民化”。因此，社会本位不宜作为现代法律的基准，法律应当推崇与强调以人为本的个人本位。     

论公司转投资的法律规制

转投资是公司重要的经营方式之一,但也可能带来负面效应,如资本虚增,控股公司将从属公司作为规避法律、逃避债务的工具,经营者控制公司,债权人或小股东利益受损等。国外立法对转投资的规制措施可分为事前规制与事后规制两类。我国新公司法对转投资的规定较旧公司法有明显进步,但仍存在缺乏转投资披露制度、缺乏相互持股限制和关联公司制度等不足,应进行补充完善。     

功利主义文化和关系文化对温州经济发展的作用

功利主义文化和关系文化是温州商业文化的两大特点。这两种文化特质在温州经济发展的过程中具有重要的作用,它们为温州经济的早期发展积累了大量的物质资本和关系资本,也为温州日后的经济发展奠定了坚实的基础。但是,这两种温州文化却面临着许多的困境和挑战,由功利主义文化引起的市场经济无序和道德混乱,以及由关系文化带来的对外来流动人口的排斥,在很大程度上阻碍了温州经济的发展。温州经济需要转型,而温州文化也同样需要一次新的转型。     

Social pressure, surveillance and community size: Evidence from field experiments on voter turnout

Citizens participate in elections, at least partly, because they perceive voting as a social norm. Norms induce compliance because individuals prefer to avoid enforcement mechanisms—including social sanctions—that can be activated by uncooperative behavior. Public visibility, or surveillance, increases the likelihood of norm-compliant behavior and applies social pressure that impels individuals to act. Some scholars have linked social pressure to community size, advancing the notion that pressure to conform to social norms is heightened in smaller, less populous communities in which citizens interact frequently and where monitoring behavior is less onerous. Others argue that even highly-populated communities can exhibit “small world” properties that cause residents to be sensitive to social pressure. In this paper, I analyze data from a recent field experiment designed to test the impact of social pressure on voting taking interactions with community size into account. The findings I report suggest community size does not moderate the impact of social pressure.     

创伤性脑损伤动物模型研究进展

创伤性脑损伤(traumatic brain injury,TBI)是多因素作用的高度复杂过程,TBI动物实验研究有利于阐明TBI原发性、继发性损伤机制及病理生理学过程,为诊断及治疗提供依据.动物模型的选择依赖于研究目的,然而各种动物模型均具有局限性,仅能复制TBI关键的损伤机制或某一重要的病理生理学过程而无法全面反映...
