生态城市环境要素的哲学思考

生态城市建设是涉及到自然、经济、文化、社会等多方面的要素的一个复杂、庞大的系统工程,其中自然环境生态化是生态城市建设的基础,文化环境生态化是生态城市建设的灵魂,经济环境和社会环境生态化则构成生态城市建设的重点和关键。     

论依法推进社会治安防范

公安机关依法开展社会治安防范工作是由其政治属性、工作目标和基本任务决定的。公安机关要在党委和政府的领导下,积极动员与组织社会各方力量参与社会治安防范,推进社会治安防控体系建设。     

伊斯兰教在近现代伊斯兰世界革命中作用问题的社会学分析——对詹姆斯·S·科尔曼《社会理论的基础》所述的宗教在革命中的作用分析的运用

近现代的伊斯兰世界爆发了许多革命，而宗教在这其中发挥了重要作用。从詹姆斯·S·科尔曼《社会理论的基础》中关于宗教这种意识形态在革命中的作用问题的观点来看，伊斯兰教在革命中的作用可以总结为以下三点：消灭坐享其成问题并能由此动员群众参加革命；取消并能建立权威；能使革命力量形成封闭性的社会结构。     

Towards a policy framework for the empowerment of social movements

As they move from responding to needs and demands to a more rights-based approach, some French NGOs are rethinking both their areas of work and their ways of working. ‘Empowerment’ has become a key concept in this changing context, although it is sometimes difficult to know how best to apply it and understand what it really means in an NGO setting. This article shares some thinking on empowerment, analysing its ‘object’ (individuals, organisations, networks, or movements) and the ‘process’ through which it is realised. Drawing on the author's own experience and on a brief literature review, it is illustrated by the examples of the international disability and US gay rights movements.     

试论媚雅广告的表达机制——兼论其对社会排斥的隐性表达

媚雅广告是指以感性诉求为主、强调典雅情调、营造尊贵品位的广告形式.它通过对艺术、运动、地域和源语符号进行意义嫁接,完成符号赋值,一方面鼓励社会中上层进行精英反叛式的主动排斥,与社会普通大众保持距离;另一方面试图赋予社会各阶层之间的不平等以合法性,故意通过差异化设置文化界限和社会区隔,导致了社会下层的被动排斥.从表面看,媚雅广告是一种新的消费理念与生活方式的表征;往深处究,不难发现它巧妙地利用了文化资本为之效力,是竭力追逐利润的商品生产者和试图扩张文化话语权的社会中上层两者合力的结果.     

科学与法律领域的真相

审判过程并非仅仅是为了"查明真相"。自从美国的法律系统开始使用科学证人以来,法律领域就面临着混乱的局面。自从Frye规则到Daubert标准再到Kumho Tire标准,乃至发展为修改后的《联邦证据规则》702条,尽管法律系统经历了上述诸多努力,人们仍然不会相信法律系统能够从科学信息中获得预期的收益。科学主张和理论或真或假,它们的真或假是一个客观的问题。法律裁决可以断定法律真理为真,也可以断定"所谓的科学真理"为真。只有科学命题所描述的自然界现象和事件的性质——而非有关证据可靠性的法律裁决,也非法庭上的论证和交叉询问——能够证明真的科学命题为真,证明假的科学命题为假。

What consideration sets can teach us about electoral competition: A two-hurdle model

Consideration set models (CSMs) offer a novel way to study electoral behavior. Until now, they have been mostly studied at the micro-level of the voter's decision process. By contrast, we focus on the implications of CSMs for understanding the phenomenon of party competition. We propose a two hurdle model whereby parties compete for both consideration and selection, pursuant the consideration and choice stages of the CSM. We operationalize these hurdles in terms of a party's inclusivity—is it being considered?—and exclusivity—is it considered on its own?—and formally derive lower- and upper-bounds for the electoral fortunes of the party. We also show how consideration set data can be used to sketch the competition landscape in an election and to characterize the system-wide competitiveness of a political system. We illustrate our concepts and ideas using data from the 2010 Dutch and 2014 Swedish parliamentary elections.     

Indian spies inside Pakistan: South Asian human intelligence across borders

This article examines India’s historical efforts to spy inside Pakistan from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. It draws from memoirs of notable Indian spies who were jailed for espionage in Pakistan and spy ‘fiction’ written by former Indian intelligence and military officers who allege their writing is based on actual cases. The article highlights commonalities among Indian spies using the words of Indian officers to better understand human intelligence efforts inside Pakistan. It finds that Indian spies in these books have initially been Hindus or from multi-religious families, from the Indian-Pakistan border and have been poorly treated by the Indian government and its intelligence services.     

Student mentoring to enhance graduates’ employability potential

This paper considers whether the adoption of a subject-specific, classroom-based, voluntary extra-curricular student mentoring scheme could provide an effective mechanism and andragogic approach to enhance higher education students’ employability potential pre-graduation.Over the three-year pilot, 26 more advanced (second to fourth year) undergraduate students actively mentored nearly 400 first year undergraduate students during workshops delivered annually within forensic and policing focused courses. In total, 17 mentors anonymously completed online, post-scheme surveys. Survey data was quantitatively analysed to evaluate the scheme, establish which skills and attributes mentors had developed and investigate whether mentors could appropriately identify example skills within professional terminology used during employer recruitment. In addition, this paper reflects on the implementation of remote student mentoring during the COVID-19 pandemic and its adoption within a blended learning framework.The results from this research strongly support mentoring as an effective mechanism to develop undergraduate employability skills, significantly developing mentors’ self-confidence and self-efficacy in their interpersonal and communication skills. Although mentors were aware of university graduate attributes and thought they could evidence these with appropriate examples, in practice this was not necessarily the case. As a result, a framework is proposed to enable mentors to identify their skills and how they may align with competencies sought by relevant forensic and policing employers. However, other andragogic practices may need to be implemented to maximise the potential for successful graduate employment.
