From climate change victims to climate change actors: The role of eco-parenting in building mitigation and adaptation capacities in children

Studies have acknowledged children not as climate change victims only, but also as climate change actors. However, only a few have addressed the preparatory stages of children as climate change actors. However, the few studies that addressed these preparatory stages gave attention only to the roles of schools and government agencies without adequate attention to that of parents. This article therefore attempts to discuss the role of eco-parenting in building mitigation and adaptation capacities in children. Relying on the authoritative parenting model, the article avers that eco-parenting can have significant effects on children's ability to protect the environment, mitigate, and adapt to climate change impacts.     

减轻处罚适用中的一个难题及其解决——兼谈刑法第37条的理解和运用

当法定最低刑为管制时,如何适用减轻处罚,在法律规定上存在漏洞。认为应适用罚金与没收财产的代表性观点实际上加重了处罚,没有合理地弥补该漏洞。对此难题的化解应导入刑法第37条,给予免除处罚。

政治语篇中缓和型FTAs作为语用策略的顺应性研究

政治语篇中,为了达到一定的交际目的,缓和型FTAs是政治家们常用的语用策略,本文以Verschueren的语言顺应论为理论框架,从交际语境的四个构成因素——语言使用者、心理世界、社交世界、以及物理世界对政治语篇中选择缓和型FTAs的语用策略的动机和机制进行较为全面的综观分析,指出该选择是政治家极有意识地对各种交际语境因素不断进行动态顺应的结果。     

Distributors and film critics: does it take two to Tango?

Previous literature has documented the impact of critics on audience choices of movies. We investigate three issues regarding professional critics in the motion picture industry. First we document whether and to what extent critics and their recommendations exhibit a statistical bias toward specific studios. We show that reviews by a number of critics are significantly affected by the film distributor’s identity. A second question is whether audiences are able to distinguish between biased and unbiased critics. We cannot support the view that audiences put less weight on the views of biased critics; in fact, they may listen to them more. Third, we try to characterize critics who are more prone to bias. Surprisingly, but in accord with reputation models, we find that more reputable critics may be more biased; in particular, critics based in L.A. tend to significantly prefer specific studios.

全球外部性视角下的碳排放与产业结构变迁

在观察产业结构与碳排放的关系时,考虑碳排放所具有的全球外部性将有助于提高分析的合理性。通过扩展RICE-2010这一气候变化综合评估模型,将中国经济细分为44个行业,并把国外作为一个独立主体,从而对全球外部性视角下的碳排放与产业结构变迁进行了分析。数值模拟结果表明:电力生产、交通运输、黑色金属冶炼、石油加工是设计碳减排政策时需优先关注的四个行业;我国碳排放库兹涅兹曲线(CKC)的拐点大致出现在2060年左右,届时,产业结构的格局将呈现出服务业比重高于工业比重的典型特征。     

Provider fairness across continents in collaborative recommender systems

When a recommender system suggests items to the end-users, it gives a certain exposure to the providers behind the recommended items. Indeed, the system offers a possibility to the items of those providers of being reached and consumed by the end-users. Hence, according to how recommendation lists are shaped, the experience of under-recommended providers in online platforms can be affected. To study this phenomenon, we focus on movie and book recommendation and enrich two datasets with the continent of production of an item. We use this data to characterize imbalances in the distribution of the user–item observations and regarding where items are produced (geographic imbalance). To assess if recommender systems generate a disparate impact and (dis)advantage a group, we divide items into groups, based on their continent of production, and characterize how represented is each group in the data. Then, we run state-of-the-art recommender systems and measure the visibility and exposure given to each group. We observe disparities that favor the most represented groups. We overcome these phenomena by introducing equity with a re-ranking approach that regulates the share of recommendations given to the items produced in a continent (visibility) and the positions in which items are ranked in the recommendation list (exposure), with a negligible loss in effectiveness, thus controlling fairness of providers coming from different continents. A comparison with the state of the art shows that our approach can provide more equity for providers, both in terms of visibility and of exposure.

刑罚体系问题研究

刑罚的轻缓化是当今世界刑罚的整体发展趋势,但我国现行刑罚制度的重刑化倾向严重。重刑易破坏公众的公平正义观念;重刑会导致刑罚功能的贬值;重刑易导致刑罚外的其他预防犯罪的措施难以落实。因此,有必要改革我国现行刑罚体系：消减死刑;完善自由刑;扩大财产刑和资格刑等非监禁刑的适用范围;增设社区服务刑等,使其与刑罚轻缓化的世界发展趋势相一致。
