Bringing the Law to the Library: The Importance of Librarian Mediation in Access to Justice Services

Library access to justice programs and services help people who need legal information and who cannot afford an attorney. Librarian mediation is a critical component in the provision of access to justice services. However, the value of library mediation, or assistance with using library resources, is often unrecognized, particularly where members of the public are trying to access electronic legal information sources, online legal forms, and other law technologies. This article will explore the role of librarians in providing access to justice services from the perspective of the work of Richard Susskind, which emphasizes technological approaches to providing legal services. While there is a place for technology in access to justice services, there is also a valuable role that librarians play in contributing to access to justice.     

自主学习模式下外语教师的中介作用研究

在疫情时期,线上教学成为了各大高校的主要教学模式.然而在完全的线上教学模式下学生的自主学习能力被暴露出很多问题.如何在信息化时代引导和培养学生的自主学习能力是高校外语教师需要思考的问题.大学外语教师需要了解学生的实际需求以及他们在学习中遇到的问题,利用多种教学途径充分发挥教师的中介作用.     

家庭农场对绿色生产的影响——以江苏省三市水稻种植户为例

关注家庭农场这一新型经营主体的绿色生产行为,以江苏省三市共468户水稻种植者的调研数据,采用倾向得分匹配与中介效应模型,实证分析家庭农场对绿色生产行为的影响,以及农业培训在家庭农场与绿色生产行为之间的中介作用。结果表明：样本中超过45%的水稻种植户未采用绿色生产技术,化肥农药费用投入较高;家庭农场对绿色生产行为有促进作用,家庭农场经营者不仅会采取更多绿色生产技术,还会降低化肥农药的投入,而且家庭农场可以促进经营者参与农业培训,而农业培训在家庭农场与绿色生产行为之间起到中介作用。因此为促进农业绿色生产行为,应鼓励符合条件的生产者申请家庭农场,树立模范标杆,并通过多种途径的培训与宣传提倡规范生产、节能增效的绿色生产,不断推动农业的绿色生产发展。     

市场分割对区域创新能力的影响研究

基于耦合协调度、熵值加权法、相对价格法以及多元回归分析等方法,从创新投入、产出和协同三个维度构建区域创新能力指标体系,实证考察了市场分割如何影响区域创新能力。研究发现：市场分割显著抑制了区域创新能力提升;细分维度来看,市场分割对创新投入的负向影响大于创新协同,而对创新产出的影响不明显;市场分割的抑制效应主要通过锁定市场需求规模、抑制人力资本积累以及降低资源配置效率实现的;此外,随着区域创新能力由条件分布的低水平向高水平迈进,其抑制效应呈现先强化后弱化的倒“U”型趋势;进一步地,地区特征对于两者之间关系表现出显著异质性效应,在技术市场发达、金融发展和市场化水平较高的地区,其负向影响得以缓解。     

数字平台与犯罪治理转型

数字平台作为一种新兴治理机制,在中国社会治理中扮演着重要角色。但是,已有研究低估了这一重要经验主义现象的社会影响,没有提供数字平台赋能社会治理的整合性的理论解释。调查多个地区平台型社会治理的经验探索,通过与关键参与者的访谈和对政策文件的分析,提炼出了“跨组织边界的多边调节”,并以此概括数字平台有效赋能社会治理的内在机理：一方面,数字平台在外部协调中管理党团、群团、数字平台企业、公众等主体与政府部门的关系,通过有效动员资源,扩大了公共问题的解决范围; 另一方面,数字平台通过内部协调来管理政府组织内部多样化的成员,作为强制性通过点(OPP)链接政府内部不同成员的数据、渠道与资源,并培育围绕具体社会问题合作的意识和信任。未来,建构有效的互动机制、提升观念的一致性、培育行动者匹配性的知识与能力,将是突破数字平台赋能瓶颈的潜在方向。

     

康德历史哲学中的先验主义因素

康德历史哲学与其先验哲学具有内在的关联性，它既想继续解决康德哲学中自由与必然的冲突，又想打通政治哲学和道德哲学的分立，在这些尝试中，康德哲学流露出新的走向并对后世哲学有着重大影响。然而，康德历史哲学又难以摆脱其哲学固有的矛盾特征，它不可避免地会陷入二律背反的困境。     

Comparing Models of Change to Estimate the Mediated Effect in the Pretest–Posttest Control Group Design

Models to assess mediation in the pretest–posttest control group design are understudied in the behavioral sciences even though it is the design of choice for evaluating experimental manipulations. The article provides analytical comparisons of the four most commonly used models to estimate the mediated effect in this design: analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), difference score, residualized change score, and cross-sectional model. Each of these models is fitted using a latent change score specification and a simulation study assessed bias, Type I error, power, and confidence interval coverage of the four models. All but the ANCOVA model make stringent assumptions about the stability and cross-lagged relations of the mediator and outcome that might not be plausible in real-world applications. When these assumptions do not hold, Type I error and statistical power results suggest that only the ANCOVA model has good performance. The four models are applied to an empirical example.

Maternal mediation in book reading, home literacy environment, and children’s emergent literacy: a comparison between two social groups

The researchers addressed two questions: (1) Does maternal reading mediation and family home literacy environment (HLE) relate to children’s emergent literacy (EL) level? and (2) Do the relationships among these variables differ as a function of socioeconomic strata (SES) level. A total of 94 5–6-year-old children, 47 from low SES (LSES) and 47 from high (HSES) families, and their mothers participated. Mother–child interactions while reading an unfamiliar book were videotaped and their verbal expressions were coded for extracting maternal mediation level. Children’s independent EL level was assessed prior to the interaction. Compared with the LSES group, HSES children showed higher EL levels and their homes had a richer literacy environment. Maternal mediation level differed by SES: LSES mothers paraphrased text more often; HSES mothers’ higher mediation level included a discussion of the written system and making connections beyond the text. In the HSES group, maternal mediation level and HLE related to children’s EL; no such relationships appeared in the LSES group. Results are discussed in terms of children’s socio-economic background and their reading experiences. Implications for researchers and educational practices about the relationships between children’s literacy development, SES, HLE, and parental mediation are discussed.
