National Social Investment Programmes in Nigeria:A Descriptive Analysis of the Socio-Economic Contributions of N-Power Programme in Benue State

This study analysed the socio-economic contributions of N-Power programme amongst the beneficiaries of the scheme in Benue State.Prior to the introduction of N-Power programme,successive administrations in Nigeria have made concerted efforts towards improving the standard of living of the citizenry through the execution of various welfare or social intervention programmes,but not much successes were recorded.Learning from the mistakes of the past regimes,and by way of deliberate state policy,the Buhari’s government initiated a multi-pronged social investment policy,one of which is the N-power programme that came onboard in 2016,which also doubles as the subject of this study.To achieve the goal of this study,a combination of desktop research and survey design was employed.Questionnaires were administered to 390 respondents through a combination of stratified and random sampling techniques.The results of the survey were matched with that of the secondary data obtained through online websites and other related sources.The result indicated that N-Power made positive contributions to the socio-economic life of the beneficiaries in Benue State:specifically,the scheme contributed in poverty eradication,employment generation,skills acquisitions and capacity building.However,some aspect of our findings revealed that the programme has a number of challenges such as:inadequate cash support,delay in monthly cash transfer to beneficiaries,distance participants had to move to their work stations,absence of posting in N-Teach scheme,and lack of adequate working tools amongst others.To salvage this problem the paper recommended the following solutions:expansion of the scheme to cover N-Teach and other aspects,increment in the monthly cash transfer to cushion the high rate of inflation,support for the participants/beneficiaries in transportation and logistics,enrolment of more youth into the various schemes,proper monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the schemes amongst others.

Identifi cation of national priority areas for adaptation to climate change in China

The problem of global warming has been identif ied as the f irst in the list of the top ten environmental prob-lems in the world.As climate change will seriously affect the social and natural world that people live in,so it may lay serious repercussions on economic progress,social improvement,and sustainable development.International bodies everywhere and many of the countries' governments are responding urgently to this call.In recent years,climate change has affected different regions in China in different ways.In its national agenda,the Chinese government should address the problem of climate change and its negative impact on socio-economic development.In this endeavor the nation should introduce policies which will help its people and economy to adapt to these effects and changes.Priorityf ields of adaptation to climate change are the sensitive areas or departments which are more vulnerable to the negative influences of climate change.The negative impacts of climate change in some parts of China are considered to be very serious indeed as they affect the whole economy and community.As a result,priority should be given to these more affected regions for the limited state f inancing.This paper def ines adaptation and discusses the basic principles and programs in the identif ication of national priority areas where adaptation should be exercised.Based on the past studies,four priority areas in China are identif ied,namely,disaster prevention and mitigation,water resources,agriculture,and ecosystem.An analysis on the identifi cation procedures,and the reasons and tasks involved are given for each.

合作与创新:社会组织可持续发展的根本途径——基于G省J市A协会的个案研究

针对社会组织研究传统范式中过度强调政府与社会、组织与环境之间“二元对立”的倾向,文章以G省J市A协会为个案,试图从合作博弈和创新理论的双重视角,通过对其转型发展过程的系统考察,阐明合作与创新对社会组织可持续发展的深远意义。研究发现,A协会之所以能够从一个“草根组织”成功转型为当地发展势头强劲的志愿服务机构,关键在于它主动选择了合作与创新的行动策略。通过这一典型案例发现,一方面,社会组织的合作行为在中国具有独特的政治优势和文化优势,使之能够被纳入国家治理的总体框架而得以有效地实现;另一方面,社会组织创新在中国具有悠久的历史基础、深厚的文化积淀、迫切的现实需要和强大的实践主体,加之创新内容和形式的多元性特征,使之具备了可持续发展的更大可能性和可行性。因此,坚持合作与创新“两条腿走路”,是社会组织谋求可持续发展的必然选择。

超越认知:社会情感学习的认识论基础

教育发展须在综合以往教育优势,摒除其已有缺陷的基础上前行。推动教育高质量发展、建设教育强国,要基于新的历史起点,致力于推动中国教育长远变革发展。这种发展的基础就是要超越中国教育长期存在的过于注重教书而育人不够,超越过于关注学生的认知发展而忽视其社会性发展的偏向。鉴于当前社会现实基础已由关注外在的自然转向社会的世界,而对人本质的理解已由理性的确认转向社会性关系的构建,这就要求教育定位须由只注重认知转向关注情感的培养,关注学生个人自主发展和社会性适应得以提升的社会情感能力。为此,基于时代赋予人发展的更多的内在规定性,应超越当前教育存在的片面强调知识传授的功利化取向,有效落实立德树人根本任务,促进学生乃至社会的高质量发展;基于人的全面发展而努力彰显教育的完整性,应注重学生健全人格的养成,激发人与自我、他人和社会关系向好的正向力量,构建社会良性运转的基础,促进个人的幸福和社会的和谐。

体育参与、社会资本与个体福利提升——基于福利经济学理论和CFPS调查数据的研究

研究目标:基于福利经济学和阿马蒂亚·森的可行能力理论构建个体福利指标体系,来检验体育参与对个体福利提升的作用和效应以及社会资本的中介作用。研究方法:利用中国家庭追踪调查数据库(CFPS)的微观数据,运用多元线性回归模型和KHB中介效应检验法和可视化进行实证分析。研究结论:体育参与不仅可以提升个体总福利水平,还可以提升分维度福利水平;社会资本在体育参与影响个体福利的过程中发挥中介作用,其中,个体社会资本对健康和幸福感维度的福利提升作用较大,集体社会资本对教育和收入维度的福利提升作用较大。研究创新:揭示了体育参与通过社会资本对个体福利提升的影响机理。研究价值:为进一步促进全民健身、实施健康中国战略提供理论支撑。

儿童国家认同:国外研究的知识谱系与启示

文章系统梳理并分析了国外学界有关儿童国家认同研究的四种理论取向。其中,精神分析取向侧重潜意识的讨论,认为儿童的国家认同源自俄狄浦斯情结的本能反应;认知发展取向将儿童的国家认同看成认知能力推动的结果,试图给出儿童国家认同观念发展的客观标准;政治社会化取向注意到了外在环境的力量,主要关注家庭、学校、大众传媒以及同辈群体等对儿童国家认同的形塑机制;新儿童社会学取向肯定了儿童的行动能力,重点考察儿童在构建国家认同观念过程中的具身化体验与实践。四种理论取向之间,既相互挑战又彼此补充,为我们深入了解儿童国家认同提供了丰富的理论支撑。以此为参照,文章最后为国内相关研究提出了若干借鉴和启示。

Drivers of Residents’Livelihood Resilience in Sanjiangyuan National Park,China:From PLS-SEM and fs/QCA

This study investigates the effects of tourism development perception,adaptive capacity,and transformation capacity on the residents’livelihood resilience in a national park.Using the Yellow River Source Park in Sanjiangyuan National Park,China as a case study,this study simultaneously used the partial least squares structural equation model(PLS-SEM)and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis(fs/QCA)to explore the linear and nonlinear dynamic impacts among the variables.PLS-SEM analysis revealed that adaptive capacity and transformation capacity positively affect livelihood resilience;tourism development perception negatively affects livelihood resilience but positively affects adaptive capacity and transformation capacity.Tourism development perception and adaptive capacity can positively influence livelihood resilience through transformation capacity.The fs/QCA revealed that simple antecedent variables do not constitute a necessary condition for promoting residents'high livelihood resilience,which depends on the conditions combined with another element.The analysis identified two combination paths of high livelihood resilience and three combination paths of low livelihood resilience,where adaptive and transformation capacity are essential for triggering high livelihood resilience,and tourism development perception is a significant driver of low livelihood resilience.

Disaster Risk Reduction,Climate Change Adaptation and Their Linkages with Sustainable Development over the Past 30 Years:AReview

The severe damage and impacts caused by extreme events in a changing climate will not only make the sustainable development goals difficult to achieve,but also erode the hard-won development gains of the past.This article reviews the major impacts and challenges of disaster and climate change risks on sustainable development,and summarizes the courses and linkages of disaster risk reduction(DRR),climate change adaptation(CCA),and sustainable development over the past 30 years.Our findings show that the conceptual development of DRR actions has gone through three general phases:disaster management in the 1990s,risk management in the 2000s,and resilient management and development in the 2010s.Gradually,CCA has been widely implemented to overcome the adverse effects of climate change.A framework is proposed for tackling climate change and disaster risks in the context of resilient,sustainable development,indicating that CCA is not a subset of DRR while they have similarities and differences in their scope and emphasis.It is crucial to transform governance mechanisms at different levels,so as to integrate CCA and DRR to reduce disaster and climate change risks,and achieve safe growth and a resilient future in the era of the Anthropocene.

The Human Sustainable Development under Biologically Evolutionary Background

Evolution,adaptation and selection always exist in the evolutionary process of any species,which is the result of interrelation and interaction between living things and their environments,and the incarnation of natural laws in the evolutionary process of any species. Only if accurately understanding their connotation and interrelation among them,taking the evolution of living things as the line with centralizing the human sustainable development,dialectically unifying the active adaptation of the human being to their environments and oriented selection of nature and the society to species,we can acquire a better understanding of evolution of living things and a deeper understanding of the human sustainable development under biologically evolutionary background and uphold the true Darwinism,modern evolutionary point of view and the concept of current sustainable development in theory and in practice.
