The Internet and the Ethnic Press: A Study of Electronic Chinese Publications

This article explores the roles of on-line publications in promoting ethnic communication. Through a case study of the on-line Chinese language publications, it examines the potentials of such publications in supplementing and expanding the functions of the traditional ethnic media, strengthening cultural and communal ties of the ethnic groups, and mobilizing them for action The authors argue that in the age of cyberspace, the role of ethnic media in fortifying the cultural traits of ethnic immigrants is expected to be further strengthened. As a result, ethnic groups are more likely to be assimilated into the mainstream culture without losing their own cultural roots and ethnic identity.

ISE-Hate: A benchmark corpus for inter-faith,sectarian, and ethnic hatred detection on social media in Urdu

Social media has become the most popular platform for free speech. This freedom of speech has given opportunities to the oppressed to raise their voice against injustices, but on the other hand, this has led to a disturbing trend of spreading hateful content of various kinds. Pakistan has been dealing with the issue of sectarian and ethnic violence for the last three decades and now due to freedom of speech, there is a growing trend of disturbing content about religion, sect, and ethnicity on social media. This necessitates the need for an automated system for the detection of controversial content on social media in Urdu which is the national language of Pakistan. The biggest hurdle that has thwarted the Urdu language processing is the scarcity of language resources, annotated datasets, and pretrained language models. In this study, we have addressed the problem of detecting Interfaith, Sectarian, and Ethnic hatred on social media in Urdu language using machine learning and deep learning techniques. In particular, we have: (1) developed and presented guidelines for annotating Urdu text with appropriate labels for two levels of classification, (2) developed a large dataset of 21,759 tweets using the developed guidelines and made it publicly available, and (3) conducted experiments to compare the performance of eight supervised machine learning and deep learning techniques, for the automated identification of hateful content. In the first step, experiments are performed for the hateful content detection as a binary classification task, and in the second step, the classification of Interfaith, Sectarian and Ethnic hatred detection is performed as a multiclass classification task. Overall, Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers (BERT) proved to be the most effective technique for hateful content identification in Urdu tweets.

Vulnerable community identification using hate speech detection on social media

With the rapid development in mobile computing and Web technologies, online hate speech has been increasingly spread in social network platforms since it's easy to post any opinions. Previous studies confirm that exposure to online hate speech has serious offline consequences to historically deprived communities. Thus, research on automated hate speech detection has attracted much attention. However, the role of social networks in identifying hate-related vulnerable community is not well investigated. Hate speech can affect all population groups, but some are more vulnerable to its impact than others. For example, for ethnic groups whose languages have few computational resources, it is a challenge to automatically collect and process online texts, not to mention automatic hate speech detection on social media. In this paper, we propose a hate speech detection approach to identify hatred against vulnerable minority groups on social media. Firstly, in Spark distributed processing framework, posts are automatically collected and pre-processed, and features are extracted using word n-grams and word embedding techniques such as Word2Vec. Secondly, deep learning algorithms for classification such as Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), a variety of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), are used for hate speech detection. Finally, hate words are clustered with methods such as Word2Vec to predict the potential target ethnic group for hatred. In our experiments, we use Amharic language in Ethiopia as an example. Since there was no publicly available dataset for Amharic texts, we crawled Facebook pages to prepare the corpus. Since data annotation could be biased by culture, we recruit annotators from different cultural backgrounds and achieved better inter-annotator agreement. In our experimental results, feature extraction using word embedding techniques such as Word2Vec performs better in both classical and deep learning-based classification algorithms for hate speech detection, among which GRU achieves the best result. Our proposed approach can successfully identify the Tigre ethnic group as the highly vulnerable community in terms of hatred compared with Amhara and Oromo. As a result, hatred vulnerable group identification is vital to protect them by applying automatic hate speech detection model to remove contents that aggravate psychological harm and physical conflicts. This can also encourage the way towards the development of policies, strategies, and tools to empower and protect vulnerable communities.     

Public libraries and Nigerian cultural development

This paper has identified the ingredients of culture, especially as found in an African society such as Nigeria. It has shown the cultural missions of public libraries as enunciated in the 1995 UNESCO Public Library Manifesto. It shows the role culture in the development of a society. It has discussed some of the ways the cultures of different Nigerian ethnic groups have been negatively influenced; and the problems hindering public libraries in the country from performing their cultural functions creditably. It emphasizes that this category of libraries should be adequately supported for them to uphold, and project the good image of Nigerians through their cherished cultural activities.

强化编校管理 打造精品力作

肩负着文化积累、文化传播、文化选择、文化创新等功能的出版活动与其他文化活动所不同的特征之一是“经济性和产业性”。作为商品的出版物图书如果不能在市场上收回成本,并获得一定的利润,出版社便难以生存,更谈不上健康发展。所以只有遵循文化发展和市场经济双重规律,提高图书质量,打造精品力作,满足读者多层次文化需求,出版产业才能做大做强,才能为建设文化强国作出应有的贡献。     

当前中国少数民族发展的三大新趋势论析

在中共十八大提出的“五位一体”社会建设的战略中,少数民族地区与中国整个社会的系统化融合是这一战略的重要维度。少数民族作为具有自我政治、经济与文化特质的群体,其发展态势影响族群之间的关系,同时也影响一个主权国家内部社会发展的系统性与均衡性。如果其中的关系处理不当,必然在多维度上诱发民族问题的产生,这当然也隐喻着未来民族发展的最新趋势与新的发展样态,主要表现在政治认同降低与民族认同增强、民族地区社会自主性加强和跨界民族及其整合能力加强等方面,这理应成为国家民族政策制度必须首先明确的基础性问题。     

人类学视角下的医疗多元

对医疗多元现象的讨论是医学人类学的经典议题,医疗人类学家早期以民族志的方式记录了不同地理、族群、文化中的医疗多元现象,其后对这些表现在医学领域中的异文化进行了社会学的分析。本文分别从医疗目的、手段上的多元化入手,进行一定的分析,认为在我国多民族聚居的地方,医疗多元是一种必然存在,是需要提倡弘扬的文化现象。并且,在人类学视角下研究医疗多元,能够更加理解医学的社会学本质。
