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.

新时期公安工作贯彻群众路线的思考

群众路线是公安工作的生命线和根本路线,公安机关各级领导干部要主动适应当前形势的新变化,牢牢把握人民群众的新期待,积极探索新形势下专门工作与群众路线相结合的新办法,着力提高广大民警做好群众工作的本领,不断密切同人民群众的血肉联系,努力为公安工作赢得最广泛、最可靠、最牢固的群众基础。     

群众路线的一般政治系统分析

群众路线是中国共产党的根本政治路线和组织路线,它的理论和实践价值已经为党领导的革命、建设和改革所证实。经过几十年的丰富和发展,群众路线的内涵和外延有一定的改变,但其主体部分仍然是一切为了群众,一切依靠群众,从群众中来,到群众中去,群众路线的这一核心内容构成一个完整的政治系统。从政治系统视角分析党的群众路线,有利于实现执政党和人民群众之间的互动,确保党的政策制定和执行的科学性和人民性。     

谚语与日本商业文化的特性

日语谚语是承载日本文化内涵的一个重要载体,同时也是反映日本文化特征的具体表现形式。本文从消费观、经商观、风险观等方面对日语谚语进行了归纳整理、试译与分析,并从中抽取出了日本传统商业意识与商业规范的特质。采用将语言、文化、经济、商业等多元因素相结合的手法,对日本谚语中所蕴涵和折射出的商业文化特征加以系统性论述。     

The association between Ugandan adolescents’ viewing of specific television genres and sex-related normative beliefs and behaviours

Growing evidence in Western nations indicates that exposure to high levels of sexual media content influences adolescents’ sexual attitudes and behaviours in those countries. Although media in many sub-Saharan markets contain increasingly higher levels of sexual content, little research has investigated the effects of that content on adolescents’ HIV-related risk and protective behaviours. This project used cultivation theory to examine Ugandan adolescents’ media use, and to test the relationship between their exposure to specific television genres and their sex-related normative beliefs and behaviours. Three hundred and sixty secondary school students from four purposively sampled schools filled out a questionnaire about their television viewing, their beliefs about the prevalence of sexual intercourse among their peers, and their own sexual behaviours. Preliminary evidence of relationships between watching comedy and cartoon programming, and high estimates of the proportion of adolescents who engage in sexual intercourse, were observed. Watching comedy programming and non- African programming was associated with the higher likelihood to have ever had sexual intercourse.     

对高校青年志愿者参与社区服务的思考

历代中央政府对藏区赔命价习惯法的态度考释

元朝以降,藏区纳入中央政府的正式管辖之下,其地方法制不可避免地会受到中央政府的影响,作为藏族长期以来法律表达与实践的赔命价习惯法也不例外。历代中央政府基于自己的法律理念或实现民族地区统治秩序的需要,对藏区赔命价习惯法或禁绝,或放任,或在承认民族特殊性与维护国家司法主权之间适当地认可和规制。比较元明两朝与清朝和民国对藏区赔命价习惯法的不同态度和及其治理藏区的不同效果,不难发现有机成长的赔命价习惯法有着坚实的社会基础和强大的生命力,中央政府应该在认清其历史理性的基础上实现其创造性转化。     

Lipidic compounds found in soils surrounding human decomposing bodies and its use in forensic investigations – A narrative review

Following decomposition of a human body, a variety of decomposition products, such as lipids, are released into the surrounding environment, e.g. soils. The long-lasting preservation in soils and their high diagnostic potential have been neglected in forensic research. Furthermore, little is known about the preservation, chemical transformation, or degradation of those human derived lipids in soils. To date, several studies identified various lipids such as long-chain free fatty acids and steroids in soils that contained decomposition fluids. Those lipids are preserved in soils over time and could serve as markers of human decomposition in forensic investigations, e.g. for estimating the post-mortem interval or identifying the burial location of a human body. Therefore, this review focuses on the current literature regarding fatty acid and steroid that have been detected in soils and associated with human body decomposition. After a short introduction about human decomposition processes, this review summarises fatty acid and steroid analysis applied in current case studies and studies related to taphonomic research. This review provides an overview of the available studies that have used fatty acids and steroids as identifiers of human decomposition fluid in soils in a forensic context and discusses the potential for developing this innovative field of research with direct application in a forensic context.
