The devil we know and the angel that did not fly: An examination of devil/angel shift in twitter fracking “debates” in NY 2008–2018

Recent work has applied the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) to examine narrative strategies in policy debates on social media platforms. We contribute to the literature by applying the NPF to fracking policy debates in New York using well-established Natural Language Processing tools, including sentiment analysis. We combine this computational approach with a qualitative hand-coding of pro- and antifracking Twitter influentials. This approach allows us to consider a much larger corpus of tweets over a much longer time frame than has been done thus far. We adapt and test NPF propositions related to the use of the devil/angel shift strategies before and after a major state-wide policy change, that is, a state-wide moratorium on high volume hydraulic fracturing or fracking. Overall, we find evidence for the use of the devil shift narrative strategy by the pro-fracking coalition aimed at the Governor prior to the moratorium. After the moratorium, the relative percentage of Tweets containing devil shift sentiments decreases as the pro-fracking coalition generally downshifts in its use of angel shift language without a corresponding increase in devil shift language, whereas, conversely, the anti-fracking coalition generally downshifts in its use of devil shift language without a general increase in angel shift language. When we shifted our analysis to Tweets containing fracking and the Governor, we found a similar postban decrease in devil shift language among anti-fracking users. Our findings offer lessons for using computational tools in the NPF as an approach to expand analytic ability and for the operationalization of concepts such as narrative strategies and policy entrepreneurs.     

非法使用他人技术秘密完成发明创造的权利归属问题研究

非法使用他人技术秘密完成发明创造的权利归属规则需基于“使用商业秘密”的具体行为类型分别确定。非法使用人直接使用他人技术秘密完成之发明创造系由他人技术秘密直接转化而来,技术秘密权利人可通过变更专利权权属的方式要求非法使用人返还其无形财产。非法使用人根据他人技术秘密调整、优化、改进自身技术方案后完成之发明创造的实质性特点皆由非法使用人创造性地贡献之,故其专利权应归属于非法使用人。非法使用人对技术秘密进行修改、改进后完成之发明创造的实质性特点,尽管由非法使用人与技术秘密权利人共同贡献,但由于双方缺乏能够形成专利权共有关系的法律或事实依据,故其不能由双方共有。此时,专利权权属可由非法使用人主张,技术秘密权利人可主张先用权抗辩。     

大数据技术运用嵌入“智慧党建”的底层逻辑与发展图景北大核心SSCI

《中共中央关于加强党的政治建设的意见》明确提出了运用大数据等新兴技术推进“智慧党建”的要求。虽然相关实践活动得以积极开展,但目前对于大数据技术运用嵌入“智慧党建”的底层逻辑和发展图景还缺乏更清晰的认识。“智慧党建”的规定性要求与主要趋向应集中体现于蓄力智能创新、强化党的领导、加强政治建设、运用新兴技术及建设系统体系诸方面。相关底层逻辑应聚焦于增强“智慧党建”的感知化、互联化、智能化、科学性及安全性等方面。相关发展图景应围绕着在“智慧党建”中不断强化政治统领作用、推动党员坚定理想信念、提升组织活动的质与效、增进与群众的血肉联系、加强执纪守法管控力度、促动优良制度生成优化及实现监督监控工作创新等层面而展开。

The Daily Show: Discursive Integration and the Reinvention of Political Journalism

The boundaries between news and entertainment, and between public affairs and pop culture, have become difficult if not impossible to discern. At the intersection of those borders sits The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, a hybrid blend of comedy, news, and political conversation that is difficult to pigeon hole. Although the program often is dismissed as being “fake” news, its significance for political communication may run much deeper. This study first locates The Daily Show within an emerging media environment defined by the forces of technological multiplication, economic consolidation, and discursive integration, a landscape in which “real” news is becoming increasingly harder to identify or define. It then offers an interpretive reading of the program that understands the show not as “fake news,” but as an experiment in journalism. It argues that the show uses techniques drawn from genres of news, comedy, and television talk to revive a journalism of critical inquiry and advance a model of deliberative democracy. Given the increasing popularity of the program, this essay concludes that The Daily Show has much to teach us about the possibilities of political journalism in the 21st century.     

浅析印度尼西亚互联网的发展

印度尼西亚互联网的发展始于20世纪80年代。起初,互联网的应用仅限于少数研究机构。随着印尼互联网商业化的发展,印尼网站数量和网民人数均有较大增长。但是由于印尼互联网基础设施发展不平衡、互联网法规不健全以及互联网接入费用相对过高,印尼要实现互联网的广泛普及仍然有很长的一段路要走。

从门户开放政策看美属菲律宾政府的鸦片政策

1898年占领菲律宾后,美国即对菲律宾群岛的鸦片问题采取限制乃至最终禁止的政策,这与美国在19世纪中期以来积极参与亚洲鸦片贸易的态度大相径庭,这种反差令人深思,但如果从美国推行的“门户开放”政策的角度去理解,则一切都在情理之中。
