冲突与融合：中西文化交流的历史回顾

中国文化是中国各民族在长期共同生活中创造的,对世界产生过重大影响,中国文化与西方文化一同为人类文明进步作出了突出贡献。中西文化交流的历史十分悠久,无论是从明代“东学西渐”到“西学东渐”与“中学西传”的并行,还是到近代中西文化的交流,中西文化交流的历史始终是中西文化冲突与融合、输入与输出相随相伴的历史。因此,正确认识当代中西文化交流,对推进中国文化建设有重大的借鉴意义。     

和谐世界视域中的华侨华人

构建和谐世界是人类的共同愿望,数千万海外侨胞是构建和谐世界的重要推动力量。中国在国际舞台上发挥着巨大的影响力,中国与他国和谐相处、两岸和平发展是构建和谐世界的必要条件,而华侨华人是中国和平外交、两岸和平统一的桥梁与纽带、是承载和传承中国和谐文化的使者,华桥华人的资本也是和谐的经济基础。因此,华侨华人对维护世界和平发展发挥着不可替代的作用,对中国外交、两岸和平统一和和谐世界的构建发挥着重要的作用。     

英国新一轮警务改革给我国公安改革的启示

英国新一轮警务改革的主要内容包括:设立专门的警务标准机构;强化科学、统一的绩效考核;积极推行国家犯罪情报模式;变革警务活动主体结构。其经验可以给我国的警务改革提供如下启示:密切警民关系,走群众路线;发挥公安院校的作用;加强情报工作;建立一个专门的警务标准机构,实施科学、统一的警务绩效考核办法;把握未来,跨越时代。     

走有中国特色的辅警建设之路

辅警,是警察的辅助力量。目前,合情合理但不合法的辅警在中国大地广泛存在。我国的警务实践表明,辅警有它合理存在和发展的空间。辅警的理论和实践是现代警务机制的重要组成部分, 我们必须认真加以研究,走出一条有中国特色的辅警队伍建设之路。     

Arts Entrepreneurship in China: Exploring the Professional Career Development Model for Chinese Emerging Western Classical Musicians

Artists’ career management has become an urgent topic in the scholarship of arts administration and the creative economy in many Western countries. Although Chinese creative and cultural industries have also experienced significant attention and growth, the worklife experiences of Chinese cultural workers are rarely discussed in the international academic literature. Addressing that gap, this study investigates artistic careers and professional development of a small sample of emerging Western classical musicians in a Chinese second-tier city. We found similar patterns in career portfolios and strategies of career entrepreneurship between Western and Chinese musicians, although differing career opportunities and explicit career strategies seem related to local context.     

Development of a new 17 Y-STRs system using fluorescent-labelled universal primers and its application in Shanxi population in China

Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) polymorphisms are useful in forensic identification, population genetics and constructing of human structures. Increasing the number of Y-STRs and their polymorphism will drastically narrow down the matching number of genealogy populations or pedigrees when searching against a forensic DNA databank. In this study, we develop a system containing 17 complementary Y-STRs that are compatible and reinforce the current commercially available Y-STR kits. This system was constructed by multiplex PCR with expected size of 126bp-400bp using home-made universal primers labeled by different fluorescence (DYS715, DYS709, DYS716, DYS713, DYS607, DYS718, DYS723, DYS708, DYS714, DYS712, DYS717, DYS721, DYS605, DYS719, DYS726, DYS598 and DYS722). The genetic data were obtained from 394 individuals in Shanxi province, China. The Y-STR system has 131 haplotypes and high discrimination power is 1. In conclusion, our study provides a robust, sensitive and cost-effective genotyping method for human identification, which is beneficial for narrowing the searching scope when applying to the genealogy searching with Y-STR DNA databank.
