Measuring and explaining the marriage boom in the developed world

Using aggregated data from 25 developed countries over a lengthy period of time, this article presents a measure of the marriage boom observed in the twentieth century and an explanation for its causes. One of my main conclusions is that even though it basically developed after the Second World War, its origins are to be found before it. I found that, contrary to the views of some scholars, this boom was not a short-lived phenomenon, but actually lasted for 90 years on average. Using panel data analysis techniques, I am able to show that the rise in women’s education, state spending on social benefits, and larger percentages of people employed in the primary sector tended to discourage marriage. I also found a quadratic relationship between the nuptiality index and the per capita income and mortality rates.     

走向未来的浙江当代文学

在20世纪浙江文学的背景下,浙江当代文学承续令人瞩目的现代辉煌,具有在中国当代文学整体格局中率先发展的先天优势。但出于种种原因,浙江当代文学总体上是相对沉寂的,文学“浙军”领先全国的优势日渐弱化。而进入21世纪以来,社会经济领域、政治领域、文化领域的巨大变化,使浙江当代文学与全国文学一起深刻地感受到了“生存”的危机。何以化解“危机”？浙江当代文学应该抓住社会转型期重振“文学浙军”的难得机遇,坚守文学本体,让文学回归文学本身。同时,在文体上突破传统模式,适时、适度地向新的文学形态转型。在市场经济条件下,浙江当代文学亦应有选择地朝着通俗性、娱乐性、多样化的方向发展。再者,浙江当代文学要继续立足地域文化,更多地关注当下现实,凸显浙江特色,并努力实现对吴越文化的审美超越。     

比较文学学科的"死亡"与"再生"

传统意义上的比较文学学科在经历了多次"危机"之后其衰落之趋势是无可挽回的,但这种衰落恰恰为其"再生"奠定了内在的基础,此也即比较文学学科内部的反拨.在这方面,包括中国学者在内的东方和第三世界学者将对一门新的比较文学学科的"再生"有所作为.比较文学的最高境界是世界文学阶段.那种为比较而比较的牵强比附式的"比较文学"确实应该死亡,而一种新的融入了文化研究和世界文学成分的比较文学学科将在这其中获得再生.     

非婚同居中女性健康权保护的法律困境及对策

规范非婚同居已经成为我国婚姻法学界的共识,但同居中女性的健康权问题却被忽略了。在司法实践中,许多法官往往用侵权法规则来解决相关的法律纠纷,在现行的法律框架下,这只是一种权宜之计。女性在非婚同居中的健康权不仅仅是女性健康不受侵犯的一种私法上的消极权利,也是一种积极的权利,国家有义务通过相关法律制度来保障女性健康权,这一点需要通过尽快制定非婚同居的法律来实现。     

中国汉族女性青少年法医学活体骨龄推断数学模型的建立

目的建立推断中国汉族女性青少年活体骨龄的数学模型。方法摄取华中、华南及华东等地区的838名年龄介于11～20周岁正常女性青少年双侧锁骨胸骨端以及左侧肩、肘、腕、髋、膝、踝关节的X线片。依据青少年骨发育分级标准对24项骨骼发育指标进行阅片、分级,结合考虑身高、体质量及地区等影响因素．应用SAS8．1及SPSS11．0软件进行统计学处理,探索各指标与年龄的相关性。结果建立了我国汉族女性青少年利用锁骨胸骨端及6大关节骨骺闭合程度联合推断活体年龄的多元回归数学模型．推导出判定我国汉族女性青少年是否已满14、16和18周岁的Fisher’S两类判别分析方程。结论本研究所建立的判定活体年龄的数学模型丰富了活体年龄的法医学鉴定方法,有利于提高活体骨龄鉴定方法的科学性和结论的准确性。     

The advocacy coalition framework in Japan: Contributions to policy process studies and the challenges involved

The advocacy coalition framework (ACF), a unified framework for understanding the policy process, has been applied in various countries and regions; however, there are few contributions from Japan, despite seemingly favorable conditions for applying it. An exploration of what hinders ACF applications in Japan is worthwhile for developing the ACF as a framework for comparative policy process studies across various social and political settings. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review previous Japanese ACF studies. Our review found that Japanese ACF studies are fewer in number, have less coverage of policy fields, and have less methodological diversity and transparency than international trends. While most of the Japanese ACF studies supported the basic hypotheses of the ACF, we found a need to refine some hypotheses and research methods of the ACF studies. We also discuss the background factors in the inactivity of ACF studies in Japan and suggest solutions for it.     

从汉简论两汉河西民间文学兴盛的土壤

文章以汉简资料为中心,结合文献记载,主要从环境、种族、时代三方面考察了两汉河西民间文学生存的土壤。认为由于重要的地理位置和由此形成的繁荣的商业经济、复杂的居民成分、复杂的自然地理和气候条件及汉代特有的文化氛围,两汉河西具有丰厚的民间文学土壤。     

1929-1933年经济危机与中国女性人口国际迁移:马来亚个案研究(1929-1941)

英属马来亚是近代中国人口移民最多的地区之一,也是中国女性移民最多的地区之一。在1929-1933年世界经济危机和殖民地政府移民政策的影响下,中国女性人口大量移民马来亚。本文通过中国女性移民马来亚的个案分析,希望深入探讨经济危机和重大政策变化对男女移民的不同影响,以及女性不同于男性的移民模式,以期丰富中国人口国际迁移研究。

'Nuisance' phone calls to women in England and Wales

Obscene or nuisance phone calls are particularly targeted towards women. Employing data from two sweeps of the British Crime Survey a decade apart (BCS 1982 and BCS 1992), this work attempts to measure the effects of individual socio-economic characteristics and victimization history of women in England and Wales on their likelihood of receiving at least one nuisance call. To make the logit modelling analysis more tangible, risks of nuisance calls are calculated from our models of five hypothetical women, single mother, professional, student, housewife and pensioner, with specific attributes taken from the set of explanatory variables.
