Racial contacts across the Pacific and the creation of minzoku in the Japanese empire

Focusing on the work of the Japanese sociologist Koyama Eizō, this paper critically explores the development of Japanese race studies from the late 1920s to the 1940s. During this period, Japanese intellectual discourses on race developed in the context of the need to manage heterogeneous populations within the Japanese empire and contain the growing mobility of populations in and outside of the territory. Reflecting Koyama’s keen interest in racial/ethnic contacts and interdisciplinary perspectives, his intellectual work symptomatically exemplifies not only the convergence of knowledge production and the dominant imperial regime but also the transpacific implications of Japanese race studies. On the one hand, my study examines Koyama’s preoccupation with racial/ethnic contacts in relation to imperial security and also traces how his study intersected with the discourse of American social scientists who were also interested in Japanese migrations. On the other hand, the study examines how the development of the idea of minzoku in Koyama’s discourse coincided with contemporaneous attempts to mobilize diverse populations in the empire. Thus, my research reveals a complex dynamic of integration and differentiation in discourse on Japanese race studies in the interwar era.     

Addressing Intercultural Experience and Academic Mobility in Higher Education

The present study initially discussed the various aspects of interculturality in higher education and the value of intercultural experience for developing intercultural competence. Then, it investigated the relationship between intercultural experience and students’ progress in their studies from prep year to senior years. The findings indicate that students do not gain intercultural experiences as a natural outcome of progress in higher education. Afterward, the relationship between intercultural experience and motivation for academic mobility was researched. According to the results, having foreign friends and attending intercultural events could be taken as predictors of lenience towards student exchange programs. Finally, the motivating and deterring factors of academic mobility for the participants were determined, and suggestions for future research were made. Participants were 207 students from different study years at a university in Turkey. A mixed questionnaire was employed to obtain data related to students’ intercultural experiences and their perceptions concerning the benefits and barriers of academic mobility.     

‘He is the Vagabond that Hath No Habitation in the Lord’: The Representation of Quakerism as Vagrancy in Interregnum England,c. 1650–1660

This article examines the printed representation, and prosecutorial characterisation, of the movements, actions and motivations of early Quakers as vagrant. It argues that the prevalence and power of representing (and subsequently treating) early Quakers as vagrants is an understudied aspect of the social and cultural history of the Society of Friends, particularly in Interregnum England. As evidence, it interrogates a furious pamphlet debate between mid-century religious writers and preachers, who devoted much time and ink to painting Quakers as mendacious vagabonds, and Quaker ‘First Publishers’, who responded at length and in a striking way to these accusations. The article concludes that these images of Quakerism as a form of ‘spiritual vagrancy’ created historically significant echoes in English and Atlantic culture.     

我国高校人力资本生产制度供给模式研究

文章以新制度经济学的视野,通过对高校组织的人力资本投资决策模型的探讨,认为“强制性与诱致性相结合的人力资本生产制度供给可实现人力资本存量的最优增长;而有形与无形的激励制度供给则可实现人力资本存量向人力资本价值的最优转化”。并在此基础上,对高校人力资本生产制度的供给方式和原则,提出了一些具体意见和措施。     

通信作者不当署名行为界定及规则改进

通信作者是特殊的署名类型,存在特殊的学术不端行为。通信作者的职责是完成论文通信事宜,其不当署名具体表现为标注不适格、侵犯其他作者署名权、未履行通信作者义务。良善的通信作者制度设计可以有效预防不当署名等学术不端行为,而现有的通信作者制度难以胜任。其改革应从制定通信作者署名规则、完善通信作者奖励机制、推行合作作者贡献声明3个方面进行。通过精细的角色分工、公正的奖励机制、科学的责任分配等方式,减少纠纷、促进协作。

制度质量、技术创新的挤出效应与资源诅咒—基于我国省际面板数据的实证分析

利用30个省际面板数据验证存在"资源诅咒"的同时,从制度质量和技术创新挤出效应的角度对其产生机理进行了基于门槛模型的实证检验,并对门槛变量的影响因素进行了实证分析。结果表明:1)自然资源和经济发展之间显著的存在基于制度质量和技术投入水平的单门槛效应,制度质量和技术投入水平的提高可以有效地改善资源依赖对经济增长的负面影响;2)资源依赖度是产生诅咒的关键,丰裕的资源虽然和经济增长表现出正相关的关系,但是其对制度质量和技术投入水平的影响是负相关的,资源开发对技术创新具有挤出效应。另外实证结果还显示出产业结构的调整可以在一定程度上缓解经济增长对自然资源的依赖性,但是缺乏稳定性。

从"政府企业家"到"市场企业家"——新常态下西部地区创新发展的策略转变

在中国经济高速增长的过程中,虽然各区域之间的差距始终存在,但缺乏内生动力的西部地区却并未陷入恶性循环,同样保持了较为快速的经济发展.由于市场中具备企业家精神的人才流失,长期以来,西部地区地方政府如企业家般直接干预经济,并依靠自身的企业家精神为区域经济发展引入大项目创新,实现了区域经济持续增长.然而在经济发展新常态下,这种经济发展策略由于政府可调配资源日益匮乏而逐渐失效;通过制度创新激发区域内市场中的企业家精神,从而实现大、中、小规模创新的协同发展,成为西部地区创新发展的策略选择.西部地区地方政府应科学制定发展目标,积极转变职能,通过制度创新更好地让市场发挥资源配置的决定性作用,从而有效激发出区域内的企业家精神.
