Making the Case: Using a Living and Historic Cultural Universe Big Data System as a Knowledge-Based Foundation for Sustaining and Recapitalizing the Cultural Sector

The cultural sector needs information to support recapitalization efforts. However the majority of existing studies all point to a knowledge gap within the sector: how to evaluate the amount of capital that can be raised. Through big data, we now have the ability to understand the “universe” of support to the cultural sector. In a test employing over two million data cells from 2007 onward for cultural organizations in Charlotte, North Carolina, the author has found evident patterns and predictors for sector support as a foundation for recapitalization, making the case for big data.     

因果观念发展的大数据相关关系观照

随着人类认识的深化和实践活动层次的提升,人类因果观念经历了两次重要转换,形成了三种基本的因果观:实在论因果观、描述论因果观和模型论因果观。从实在论因果观到描述论因果观,肇因于从经典物理学到量子力学的发展;从描述论因果观到模型论因果观,则源自信息科技特别是大数据的发展。在三种因果观念中,实在论因果观是关于对象确定性联系的把握,描述论的因果观是将实在论因果观抽象为描述的产物,而模型论因果观则是描述论因果观发展到完全抽离具体经验条件的结果。纵观人类认识发展过程中因果观的嬗变,可以进一步看到,因果观念的两大重要转换都与信息的彰显密切相关。在量子力学中,信息便得以空前凸显,微观观测中生成的量子现象正是作为感受性关系的信息;而大数据则本身就是信息数字编码的产物,正是大数据相关关系,将因果观念从主要基于物能发展到主要基于信息。     

Toward a Theory of Negotiation Precedent

It is remarkable that precedents and their use have not been well explored within the negotiation literature. In this article, I examine the sparse knowledge of precedents and offer a preliminary framework for understanding the role of precedents in negotiation, including how negotiators establish and apply them. Precedents can either evolve randomly or be created with strategic intent. Understanding precedents generally involves examining how negotiators build, adopt, avoid, and reject them. In this review of the existing literature, I identify twelve concepts and paradigms that are particularly relevant to our understanding of negotiation precedents. I also establish a research agenda and identify three methods for further developing our knowledge of precedents: applying path dependence theory from the field of international relations to a negotiation context; conducting experimental research in a laboratory setting involving subjects engaged in negotiation exercises that contain opportunities to apply precedents; and conducting field research with a focus on case methodology grounded in negotiation linkage theory and theories of negotiation dynamics. Finally, in this article, I formulate a two‐part framework on building and applying precedents, and offer managerial guidance for the negotiation practitioner. Precedents serve as a strategic technique and provide a source of power at that point in a negotiation when decisions are made.

NOT EVEN OUR OWN FACTS: CRIMINOLOGY IN THE ERA OF BIG DATA

Criminology is an applied discipline where the findings from the data collected and analyses conducted inform debates about policy and practice. For this to happen, a discipline must have an agreed‐upon set of facts to define the problem and suggest solutions. We can debate the soundness of fundamental data series, but these debates must take place within the confines of scientific inquiry and all data must be subjected to the same scrutiny. Data sources must comprise agreed‐upon standards for collection and be accessible for replication. The increasing use of “big data” has frayed this agreement about quality and accessibility and has made it more difficult for criminology to have its own facts. In this presentation, I define the term “big data” and argue it will be difficult for big data to replace traditional data sources and to live up to their potential for knowledge building. Finally, I suggest a few things that the discipline might do to address these problems of access and quality.     

侦诉协作机制的价值分析与制度构建

建立侦诉协作机制,增强侦诉合力,形成"大控方"的追诉格局,对于保证刑事诉讼活动的顺利进行,具有重大的价值和意义。目前,司法实务部门对侦诉协作机制所进行的积极探索,为该机制的立法构建提供了有益的实践经验。在《刑事诉讼法》再修改时应当通过程序设计对侦诉协作机制作出明确规定,并完善相应的配套制度,推动该机制良好地运行。     

大国关系及美国大选对全球局势的影响:俄罗斯智库与媒体看法

俄罗斯智库与媒体肯定当前世界秩序处于重大变革时期,特朗普外交政策以及新冠肺炎疫情都给世界带来了巨大改变,同时俄罗斯自身还面临着经济社会发展和周边国家关系等问题,需要以“新思维”来看待和解决。不过,俄罗斯官方不完全认可“新冷战”说法。俄罗斯智库与媒体看到,至少在中短期内,中美矛盾将是世界主要矛盾,俄罗斯可以利用中美竞争谋求发展。如果面临两极格局必须做出选择,对俄罗斯而言更优选择是与中国结盟。从美国民主党对俄罗斯的传统政策以及拜登对普京及俄罗斯的态度看,美国大选结果对俄罗斯不是很有利,但无论特朗普当选还是拜登当选,美国外交政策的总体方向都不会有原则性改变。对于世界格局,俄罗斯智库判断有多种发展趋向,俄力主多极世界,并将努力推动这一局面的形成。     

大数据与服务型政府建设理念的共振:开放、共享与前瞻

随着21世纪移动互联网、物联网、人工智能等新技术的发展,人类进入了一个全新的发展阶段,即大数据时代。开放、共享与前瞻构成了大数据的基本发展理念。服务型政府作为与时俱进的政府,是以资源开放为前提,以公众参与为基础的开放性政府。它的开放性决定了它是一个共享性的政府,它会主动地搭建信息共享平台,引导其他治理主体合理地分享信息...     

A Fatal Leopard Attack

Abstract: A rare case of a big cat fatal attack is presented. A male leopard that had escaped from its unlocked cage attacked a 26‐year‐old male zoo worker. The man sustained penetrating injuries to the neck with consequent external bleeding. The man died while being transported to the hospital as a result of the injuries sustained. The wounds discovered on the victim’s body corresponded with the known methods of leopard attacks and with findings on the carcasses of animals killed by leopards in the wild. The conclusion of the medicolegal investigation was that the underlying cause of death was a bite wound to the neck which lacerated the left internal jugular vein, the two main branches of the left external carotid artery, and the cervical spine. The cause of death was massive external bleeding. Special attention is paid to the general pattern of injuries sustained from big cat attacks.     

我国医药发明专利试验例外制度研究

医药发明专利试验例外作为我国专利法上一项新生的侵权抗辩事由,在实施中尚缺乏应有的制度保障。通过追溯医药发明专利试验例外的起源和发展,考察主要国家医药发明专利试验例外制度的具体内容,分析了我国医药发明专利试验例外在实施中将面临的困惑,并从适用范围、专利补偿期限、专利链接制度三方面入手,对我国医药发明专利试验例外制度的完善提出了建议,以期能充分实现专利药物制造商与仿制药物制造商、药物制造商与社会公众之间的利益平衡。
