Immigration and the sociocultural divide in Central and Eastern Europe: Stasis or evolution?

Immigration has historically been of low salience in Central and Eastern Europe. Yet, the region has consistently higher levels of ethnocentrism than the rest of Europe. Scholars argue that the East's limited politicization of immigration is due to its status as a region of emigration and the presence of ethnic minority ‘others’. I argue that this is changing. The politicization of the European refugee crisis by domestic elites has begun to refocus the sociocultural dimension on the immigration issue. Using structural equation models, I compare European Values Study data from 2008 and 2017 across 10 East European EU member states. I find evidence that traditionalist attitudes are more strongly related to anti-immigration attitudes since the crisis, particularly for those who are interested in politics. Further, immigration attitudes are polarizing across the GAL-TAN dimension and by education. Hence, immigration is bolstering a pre-existing, socially structured divide around both nationalist and traditionalist values.     

为奠定“强大的群众共产党之基础”而努力奋斗——试析“三大”对增强、扩大党的阶级基础和群众基础的思想、实践和意义

中共"三大"提出建立"强大的群众共产党之基础"的任务,并作出采取了相应的决议和措施,尤其是主张要"努力从各工人团体中,从国民党左派中,吸取具有阶级觉悟的革命分子,渐渐扩大我们的组织"的思想,具有历史特点和时代特色,对"三大"之后党的队伍的发展和政治影响的扩大具有十分重要的意义,体现了中国共产党十分注意与时俱进地巩固阶级基础和扩大群众基础的思想与实践.     

Support for Harsh Criminal Sanctions and Criminal Justice Beliefs: A Social Dominance Perspective

Much of the criminal justice literature indicates that people’s support for harsh criminal sanctions such as the death penalty is strongly related to their beliefs about deterrence and their beliefs about retribution. In this paper, using social dominance theory as our organizing framework, we expand upon this literature by showing that social dominance orientation (SDO) is also related to support for harsh criminal sanctions, as well as to deterrence and retribution beliefs. In addition, we show that the relationships between SDO, on the one hand, and support for various forms of severe criminal sanctions, on the other, are mediated by deterrence and retribution beliefs.

The Effect of Participant Sex,Victim Dress,and Traditional Attitudes on Causal Judgments for Marital Rape Victims

This study investigated the effects of participant sex, victim dress, and attitudes influencing the tendency to blame a marital rape victim. College undergraduates completed the Attitudes toward Marriage Scale, an intervening cognitive task, and a read fictitious scenario of a marital rape incident where the victim was dressed somberly or seductively. Participants then completed a brief questionnaire. As predicted, males rated the victim more deserving of the attack than females. As predicted, the suggestively dressed victim was rated more responsible and deserving than the somberly dressed victim. As predicted, participants holding more traditional attitudes toward marriage were more likely to assign more victim responsibility and deservingness than participants with more egalitarian attitudes. These findings are discussed within an attitudinal framework.     

美国在台“特殊利益”的建构

美国在台湾的"特殊利益"--无论是战略利益、经济利益,还是心理方面的相互认同,都在深刻地影响着美台关系的演变和美国对华政策的决策.美国在台"特殊利益"的建构力量主要包括三大方面台湾对美国尤其是美国国会的游说,可以被看作是一种外部信息的输入;美国国内"台湾帮"、或者说"蓝军"的努力,揭示着外部信息内化的过程;思想库与大众媒体的作用,由此外部信息得以普及化.尽管作为输出的美国对华政策带有强烈的美国在台"特殊利益"色彩,但这一建构起来的幻象不仅逐渐遭到"台独"自身的侵蚀,而且因为中国大陆自身的强大而不断得到化解.

Mass spectral and NMR spectral data of two new designer drugs with an alpha-aminophenone structure: 4'-methyl-alpha-pyrrolidinohexanophenone and 4'-methyl-alpha-pyrrolidinobutyrophenone

This study presents and discusses the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic and mass spectroscopic data of the new designer drug 4'-methyl-alpha-pyrrolidinobutyrophenone (MPBP) and its homolog 4'-methyl-alpha-pyrrolidinohexanophenone (MPHP) which were seized in 2004 and 2000 in Germany for the first time. The structure elucidation of the aliphatic part of MPBP was carried out by product ion spectroscopy of the immonium ion formed after electron ionization as well as with 1H and 13C NMR. Product ion spectroscopy of immonium ions again proved to be a powerful tool to determine the structure of designer drugs and to distinguish between isobaric structures of the alkyl-amino moiety.
