Search boundaries: human flesh search,privacy law,and internet regulation in China

This research examines privacy law and Human Flesh Search (HFS) on the Chinese Internet. HFS is spontaneous, widely participated search and publication of targeted individuals’ personal information on the Internet. This research sees HFS as an important form of non-institutional information gathering and publication, and argues that the regulation of HFS is not only about privacy but also line-drawing for information collection and dissemination in the digital setting. Therefore, legal instruments and court cases in relation to HFS and online privacy must be assessed as important components of the Chinese state’s Internet regulatory scheme. This research finds that the paired concepts of ‘flexibility and populism,’ key features of legal reform and development in contemporary China, are highly relevant to analyze the growth of digital privacy laws in China. The political-legal authorities’ experimentation and innovation in the development of the law shed important light on how China’s Internet governance adapts to changing circumstances and strives to keep pace with profound social transformations in new technological environments.     

The Effects of Darkness and Lightness Cues in the Visual Depiction of Political Actors Involved in Scandals: An Experimental Study

Reports about political scandals have increased lately. Yet the general impact of news visuals and the specific role of lightness and darkness cues in images of scandalized politicians remain unclear. With the help of an experiment, the present pilot study examined the influence of candidate images and the effects of particular image backgrounds (light versus dark). While the foreground of the image depicting a politician involved in a scandal remained unchanged, the background was systematically altered. The results revealed that a light background had a positive effect on recipients’ attitudes toward the politician. In contrast, participants exposed to a dark image background demanded a more severe punishment for the politician.

Health science libraries in Sweden: new directions,expanding roles

Librarians in Sweden are facing huge challenges in meeting the demands of their organisations and users. This article looks at four key areas: coping with open science/open access initiatives; increasing demands from researchers for support doing systematic reviews; understanding user experiences in Swedish health science libraries; and the consequences of expanding roles for recruitment and continuing professional development. With regard to changing roles, there is an increasing shift from the generalist towards the expert role. The authors raise the issue as to how to prepare those new to the profession to the changing environment of health science libraries.     

Worn Grooves

Drawing from visual, material and written archival sources, this article critically explores some of the functions, uses and perceived values of recorded sound during the First World War and in its aftermath. An instrument of communication as well as commemoration, the gramophone helped bridge geographical (and, in some cases, cultural) distances between the home front and the rear, providing civilians with the fleeting illusion of presence, proximity, or even sentimental communion with the front. The article analyses (a) the affective and connective, but also propagandist, values of commercial wartime recordings as they circulated between the home and the front, (b) the popular notion of gramophones as regulatory instruments of civilisation, (c) the commemorative exploitations of recorded sound in the interwar period. The article focuses on the British experience, contrasting it with examples drawn from French and German experiences.     

Is There a Future for Journalism?

A functionalist perspective on the future of journalism would posit that because human society needs journalism, we will find ways to support this communications practice. Yet such a perspective, however consoling, assumes a teleology that is far from guaranteed. What will happen is far from easy to predict; nevertheless, this paper pinpoints several key issues that impact on the future of journalism. It also advances some general propositions and a broad periodisation around UNESCO’s historical role in relation to these issues. The analysis gives particular attention to political and economic matters, the safety of journalists and internet governance. Each of these dimensions entails existential threats to journalism, but some opportunities are also noted. Four paradoxes are also identified, with tensions that may lead to change in one direction or another.

2005年3月10～12日嘉兴市寒潮大雪成因浅析

分析2005年3月10～12日嘉兴市寒潮、大雪天气过程发现:强寒潮是由乌拉尔阻高东移南垮引起强冷空气南下和前期明显回温共同造成的。500 hPa南支槽前的西南暖湿气流为大雪天气提供了源源不断的水汽;物理量诊断显示,高层辐散、低层辐合和弱的不稳定能量,为大雪的产生提供了动力抬升条件;高空西南暖湿气流突然加强,近地面层有大片逆温层存在,是预报大雪的关键,为今后预报大雪起到了一定参考的作用。     

“技术—组织—环境”视域下数字经济赋能低碳转型发展的路径

数字经济的蓬勃发展为深入推进低碳转型提供了有力的技术、管理和制度手段,但我国现阶段仍存在数字技术创新水平有限、数字人才供给能力不足、数字治理体系亟待健全等问题,制约了数字经济对于低碳转型发展的赋能作用。文章基于“技术—组织—环境”（TOE） 框架,探讨数字经济对低碳转型发展影响的技术迭代路径、管理变革路径及制度优化路径,阐述数字经济在低碳转型发展中的重要作用,为促进我国发展数字经济助力“双碳”目标实现提出政策建议。     

科技成果转移转化人员收益分配模式的实践与探索——以对中国科学院15家院属单位调研为基础

科技成果转移转化（以下简称“转移转化”）作为实现科技向生产力和经济发展转变的关键,是提升科技创新体系运转效能、发展新质生产力的重要一环。目前,我国促进转移转化的政策内容不断充实、覆盖范围愈加全面,但产学研用衔接难、技术转化比例与效率双低、知识产权运营及转移转化服务专业度不够等直接影响转移转化的难题,仍未得到很好解决。一个重要原因是转移转化人员的收益分配模式不能有效匹配相关人员的工作属性和贡献,从而导致未能充分发挥转移转化人员的专业积极性。本研究从分析现有收益分配模式的问题入手,调研了15家中国科学院院属单位转移转化收益分配情况,对比国外成功案例与中国科学院案例收益分配模式的异同,分析造成收益分配模式不合理的学术和实践原因,提出工作建议,为转移转化工作的提质增效提供新思路。
