Mobile users’ information privacy concerns and the role of app permission requests

Recent privacy-related incidents of mobile services have shown that app stores and providers face the challenge of mobile users’ information privacy concerns, which can prevent users from installing mobile apps or induce them to uninstall an app. In this paper, we investigate the role of app permission requests and compare the impact on privacy concerns with other antecedents of information privacy concerns, i.e., prior privacy experience, computer anxiety, and perceived control. To test these effects empirically, we conducted an online survey with 775 participants. Results of our structural equation modeling show that prior privacy experience, computer anxiety, and perceived control have significant effects on privacy concerns. However, concerns for app permission requests have approximately twice as much predictive value than the other factors put together to explain mobile users’ overall information privacy concerns. We expect that our findings can provide a theoretical contribution for future mobile privacy research as well as practical implications for app stores and providers.     

由书法创作到潜意识的阐释

书法书写中潜意识的形成以扎实的基本功和渊博的字外涵养为支撑点,经典的“过去经验”是书法创作者潜意识形成的基本的材料。书法创作者的心态环境是潜意识外化的基本条件。成功的书法创作是书法作者潜意识充分外化的表现。     

低负荷加压训练改善自发性高血压大鼠的血压效果及机制研究

目的:探究低负荷加压训练对自发性高血压大鼠的降压效果及其作用机制。方法:选取4周龄雄性自发性高血压大鼠,随机分为对照组(高血压安静组)、低负荷训练组、低负荷加压训练组和高负荷训练组。低负荷训练组进行35%~55%1RM递进式低负荷爬梯训练,低负荷加压训练组进行30%~40%血流受限结合35%~55%1RM递进式低负荷爬梯训练,高负荷训练组进行55%~75%1RM递进式高负荷爬梯训练,训练后测定血压、血液中内皮素-1、血管内皮生长因子、一氧化氮合成酶的表达和心肌组织中内皮型一氧化氮合成酶的表达。结果:1)与对照组、高负荷训练组相比,低负荷加压训练组收缩压、舒张压显著下降(P<0.05);与低负荷训练组相比,低负荷加压训练组舒张压显著下降(P<0.05)。2)与对照组相比,低负荷加压训练组血液中内皮素-1表达显著下调(P<0.05),血管内皮生长因子和一氧化氮合成酶表达显著上调(P<0.05);3)与对照组相比,低负荷加压训练组心肌中内皮型一氧化氮合成酶表达显著上调(P<0.05);4)在低负荷加压训练组中,收缩压与内皮素-1呈正相关,相关性分析具有统计学意义(P<0.05);收缩压与一氧化氮合成酶、血管内皮生长因子、内皮型一氧化氮合成酶均呈负相关,相关性分析具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:1)低负荷加压训练降压效果优于高负荷训练;2)低负荷加压训练能够通过下调血液中内皮素-1的表达,上调血液中血管内皮生长因子和一氧化氮合成酶的表达,同时上调心肌中内皮型一氧化氮合成酶表达,改善内皮细胞功能,达到降压的效果。     

A meaning-making model of post-migration growth for mainland Chinese university students in Hong Kong

Studies of stress-related growth have demonstrated the central role of meaning-making processes in the occurrence of growth following stressful life experiences, but few have examined its role in the context of acculturation. This study developed and tested a meaning-making model of post-migration growth using bootstrap-based mediation analysis with a sample of 489 mainland Chinese university students in Hong Kong. The data were collected through an online cross-sectional survey. The results showed that acculturative stressor was a significant risk factor and that sense-making coping and core belief re-examination acted as significant protective factors for post-migration growth. Sense-making coping and core belief re-examination, in sequence, partially mediated the relationship between acculturative stressor and post-migration growth. This model demonstrates the importance of the cognitive processing of meaning-making in Chinese students’ post-migration growth.     

Social identification,exercise participation,and positive exercise experiences: Evidence from parkrun

Growing evidence suggests that social identities may have profound implications for physical activity participation. Real-world examinations of this relationship have, however, been lacking, with research predominantly examining intentions and hypothetical scenarios. To address this shortcoming and further advance understanding in this area, the present study tested relationships between group identification, participation, two exercise-specific outcomes (exercise-specific satisfaction and group cohesion), and a broad health indicator (life satisfaction) among individuals recruited from parkrun. Participants (N = 289) completed questionnaires measuring all variables except participants’ parkrun participation, which was objectively assessed. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that group identification was significantly associated with greater participation, exercise-specific satisfaction, group cohesion, and life satisfaction. Findings provide real-world evidence of the health-related benefits associated with forming strong social identities in exercise settings.     

我国工业企业技术进步的随机前沿模型分析

本文运用我国大中型工业企业1995-2002年期间的年度企业数据,在随机前沿生产函数模型分析框架内系统地研究了37个两位数工业行业的前沿技术进步(FTP)。本文发现:(一)前沿技术进步已经成为工业增长方式转变的核心推动力,1996-2002年大中型工业前沿技术进步平均贡献率高达14个百分点,对经济增长的贡献逐年提高;(二)本文归纳了前沿技术进步的四大驱动力:行业竞争、全球化及外商投资、企业产权改革以及经济周期扩张的大环境;(三)通过技术进步贡献率对企业的制度及行业经营环境等因素的回归分析发现:国有企业在技术进步中的作用不可忽略;大型企业的技术进步显著高于小企业;欠发达地区的技术进步速度高于发达地区;开放、竞争性行业的技术进步远远高于垄断性行业。因此,本文认为深化企业产权改革、加强资本市场建设、打破行业垄断、促进行业有序竞争是中国工业增长模式转变的惟一途径。     

中国东部地区三大都市圈人口迁移与经济增长极化研究

根据增长极理论,在考察改革开放以来中国东部地区三大都市圈(省际)人口迁移特征的基础上,分析人口迁移对三大都市圈经济增长极化的作用关系,可以发现:人口向三大都市圈的迁移集中促进了其经济的增长极化;受日趋活跃的人口迁移影响,20世纪80年代中期以来三大都市圈经济的增长极化曲线呈单调上升二次函数增长趋势,显示其已进入一个新的加速成长和发展阶段.但目前人口迁入重心已明显由北南移,三大都市圈人口净迁移流场分布模式也已逐步由"三极"集中向相对"一极"化模式转变.我们应改变这种趋势,以形成东部地区三大都市圈"三极"并存、相互促进的都市圈空间发展模式.     

要素投入对中国经济增长的影响

根据丹尼森对经济增长因素分析方法,分析改革开放以来,各要素对中国高速经济增长的贡献,得出改革开放以来,中国的经济增长主要依赖于资金的投入。通过与韩国、日本在经济高速增长时期,各要素对他们经济增长的贡献做比较,说明大部分国家经济发展的起飞阶段,其经济发展比较多地依赖资金投入和劳动力的投入,是一种普遍现象。并从产业结构方面对经济增长划分三个阶段,对中国靠高投入来支撑的高速经济增长以理论支持。
