Artificial Intelligence and the Sustainable Development Goals: An Exploratory Study in the Context of the Society Domain

Artificial Intelligence (AI) experienced significant advancements in recent years, and its potential power is already recognized across various industries. Yet, the rise of AI has led to a growing concern about its impact on meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The aim of this paper was to evaluate contributions and the potential influence of AI to sustainable development in the society domain. Furthermore, the study analyzed GPT-3 responses, as one of the largest language models developed by OpenAI, descriptively. We conducted a set of queries on the SDGs to gather information on GPT-3’s perceptions of AI impact on sustainable development. Analysis of GPT-3’s contribution potential towards the SDGs showcased its broad range of capabilities for contributing to the SDGs in areas such as education, health, and communication. The study findings provide valuable insights into the contributions of AI to sustainable development in the society domain and highlight the importance of proper regulations to promote the responsible use of AI for sustainable development. We highlighted the potential for improvement in neural language processing skills of GPT-3 by avoiding imitating weak human writing styles with more mistakes in longer texts.

Mapping Diversity of Publication Patterns in the Social Sciences and Humanities: An Approach Making Use of Fuzzy Cluster Analysis

Purpose: To present a method for systematically mapping diversity of publication patterns at the author level in the social sciences and humanities in terms of publication type, publication language and co-authorship.Design/methodology/approach: In a follow-up to the hard partitioning clustering by Verleysen and Weeren in 2016, we now propose the complementary use of fuzzy cluster analysis, making use of a membership coefficient to study gradual differences between publication styles among authors within a scholarly discipline. The analysis of the probability density function of the membership coefficient allows to assess the distribution of publication styles within and between disciplines.Findings: As an illustration we analyze 1,828 productive authors affiliated in Flanders, Belgium. Whereas a hard partitioning previously identified two broad publication styles, an international one vs. a domestic one, fuzzy analysis now shows gradual differences among authors. Internal diversity also varies across disciplines and can be explained by researchers’ specialization and dissemination strategies.Research limitations: The dataset used is limited to one country for the years 2000–2011; a cognitive classification of authors may yield a different result from the affiliation-based classification used here.Practical implications: Our method is applicable to other bibliometric and research evaluation contexts, especially for the social sciences and humanities in non-Anglophone countries.Originality/value: The method proposed is a novel application of cluster analysis to the field of bibliometrics. Applied to publication patterns at the author level in the social sciences and humanities, for the first time it systematically documents intra-disciplinary diversity.

Functions of Rhetoric and Social Science Origins in Communication Study—Based on Boxing Plato’s Shadow:An Introduction to the Study of Human Communication

With the development of the rhetoric study from the origins in ancient Athens and The Rhetoric of Aristotle to the formation of modern Communication Study at the beginning of the twentieth century,the Rhetoric Study changed in dynamic and its concepts and theories merged and formed the foundations of Communication Study which focused on personal communication and speech rhetoric skills at that time.At the beginning of the twentieth century,although the Neo-Aristotelian rhetorical scholars from classic rhetoric approach created methodologies and enriched the content of Communication Study under the influence of humanistic study and social science study,but the Communication discipline was still in the embarrassing position.During World War I and World War II,most scholars with backgrounds of social science,history and anthropology carried out the studies of propaganda wars and the message disseminating,and explored the military powers and governments’access to the media and developed serial communication modes from the social science perspective,which laid the foundation for Communication discipline in the academic field.The author analyzed the Rhetoric and Social Science origins of Communication study in Boxing Plato’s Shadow:an Introduction to the Study of Human Communication,which is beneficial and helpful to understand the academic origins of Communication study and its cross-disciplined and embarrassing positions.

A quantitative evaluation system of Chinese journals in the humanities and social sciences

Based on analyses on existing indicators for evaluating journals in the humanities and social sciences and our experience in constructing the Chinese Social Science Citation Index(CSSCI), we proposed a comprehensive system for evaluating Chinese academic journals in the humanities and social sciences. This system constitutes 8 primary indicators and 17 sub-indicators for multidisciplinary journals and 19 sub-indicators for discipline-specific journals. Each indicator or sub-indicator is assigned a suitable weight according to its importance in terms of measuring a journal's academic quality and/or impact.

A Brief Analysis of the relationship between the natural sciences and humanities and social science

With the continuous development of economic and social, the category of science is no longer limited to the technical field, natural science, humanities and social science have flourished, but the study of the relationship between the two disciplines is not perfect enough, so we should follow the academic trend, clarify the relationship between the two,only in this way can we have a more specific grasp of the science, this had a profound influence on the all-round development of modern society.

Spatial Humanities and Geo-computation for Social Sciences:Advances and Applications

Humanities and Social Sciences(HSS) are undergoing the transformation of spatialization and quantification. Geo-computation, with geoinformatics(including RS: Remote Sensing;GIS: Geographical Information System;GNSS: Global Navigation Satellite System), provides effective computational and spatialization methods and tools for HSS. Spatial Humanities and Geo-computation for Social Sciences(SH&GSS) is a field coupling geo-computation, and geoinformatics, with HSS. This special issue accepted a set of contributions highlighting recent advances in methodologies and applications of SH&GSS, which are related to sentiment spatial analysis from social media data, emotional change spatial analysis from news data, spatial analysis of social media related to COVID-19, crime spatiotemporal analysis, “double evaluation” for Land Use/Land Cover(LUCC), Specially Protected Natural Areas(SPNA) analysis, editing behavior analysis of Volunteered Geographic Information(VGI), electricity consumption anomaly detection, First and Last Mile Problem(FLMP) of public transport, and spatial interaction network analysis for crude oil trade network. Based on these related researches, we aim to present an overview of SH&GSS, and propose some future research directions for SH&HSS.

DESERTIFICATION HAZARD AND FARMING-GRAZING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN LINGWU-YANCHI REGION OF NINGXIA

In the view of the desertification hazard process in Lingwu Yanchi region of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the paper analyzed the interaction between the physical environment and the human activities, and discussed the social problems of controlling sandy land by using the way of “decreasing farming for increasing grazing” and developing agriculture and animal husbandry. The results indicated that the changes of desertification in the Quaternary geological periods was a kind of climatic geomorphic processes, and a kind of climate human processes in human history, which are mainly controlled by climatic conditions and partly interfered by human economic activities. Both of the physical environment and the human activities have double effects to aggravate or reverse the desertification.

Towards Positivity:A Large-Scale Diachronic Sentiment Analysis of the Humanities and Social Sciences in China

With its rising number of publications and expanding international collaborations,China's humanities and social sciences(HSS)research is displaying its potential for global prominence.Researchers have been exploring the development of China's HSS from different perspectives.However,the examinations from the perspective of sentiment analysis are scanty.Our aim is then to examine the sentiment features in Chinese HSS academic writing,by analyzing a large-scale corpus with over 275 million characters and with a time span from 2000 to 2020.Considering that most studies only focused on abstracts,we examined both the abstracts and the full texts,as well as a direct comparison between them.We found that Chinese HSS academic writing has evolved to be more positively biased in the past two decades,showing an upward trend in the use of positive words and a slight downward trend in the use of negative words.However,the upward trend of positive words in the full texts is not that clear,resembling a fluctuating pattern.Regarding the comparison,the abstracts are more likely to use positive words while the full texts tend to use more negative words.These phenomena can be explained with the social cognitive theory,in that they may be shaped by a joint force of the nature of human beings,the nature of language,the particular socio-cultural background in China and the features of the academic genre.

Historic Achievements in Developing Human Resources and Social Security

近年来数据资源开发利用的热潮已然在人文社科领域扩散开来,人文社科的数据资源观正在从传统的有限样本资料、“小数据”向大数据、智慧数据转变。针对当前人文社科数据资源开发利用仍然存在的“保护”“深闺”“孤岛”“同质”“展示”现象,本文构建了以主体层、内容层、保障层为核心的人文社科数据资源开发利用路径框架:主体层强调顶层规划主体、建库主体、数据用户之间的协同合作;内容层凸显逻辑维、资源维、方法维、验证维的组合路径;保障层涉及政策法规、资金项目、人才资源、文化氛围等保障措施。面向未来,人文社科数据资源开发利用需要积极打造人文社科数据资源“治理术”,在基本理念上需要从“资源基础论”向“治理能力论”转变,在具体行动上可从数据基础设施体系搭建、多学科数据资源共生共长机制构建、数据资源产权与安全有效保护、基于数据资源的服务链建构等方面着力推进。图1。参考文献15。

Human Rights Research Methods in Social Science

Introduction and Motivation Legal science and philosophy are two of the most important dis- ciplines in the field of human rights research, both of them assuming different roles and functions in human rights analysis. Scholars can discuss or debate from a philosophical per- spective such as where the ideology of human rights comes from, what the ontology of human rights is and whether people could legitimate human rights claims on the basis of natural morality.

探索中国体育强国建设的理论起点——立足马克思主义哲学关于对人的本质认识方向

构建中国体育强国建设理论体系的首要问题是找出合理的理论起点。要完成这个任务,必须坚持马克思主义哲学关于对人的本质认识方向,通过借鉴资本主义商业体育的理论起点,到分析社会主义体育探索“人的全面发展”的理论起点,最后以马克思主义中国化最新理论成果,即习近平总书记关于体育的重要论述为指引。一方面,资本主义体育发展建设以资本主义的“剩余价值”为理论阐释点,它同样蕴含着“人的发展”的各种规定,由此引发了在一定制度下面向“人的发展”的体育发展成果的探析;另一方面,习近平总书记关于体育的重要论述则确定了“人的价值”的理论主线。借鉴马克思主义体育思想,重视与教育匹配的社会关系,准确把握习近平总书记关于实现体育的“人的价值”的初心维度的重要论述,可以得到结论,“遵循社会发展与人的发展的统一性”是中国体育强国建设的理论起点。

中国社会变迁与人的发展:多元建构观点和相关研究

当代全球化背景下的社会变迁导致了不同价值观和生活方式共存和整合,构成了人的发展的新的环境。在中国的社会变迁过程中,与市场化相匹配的价值观(如竞争性、独立性、自我表现)和传统价值观(如社会关系,服从集体,自我控制)在人的社会和心理适应中具有不同的功能。不同文化的碰撞和整合也可能促进新的行为品质的产生,有利于增强人们应对各种情境的能力。根据多元建构观点,群体水平上的社会互动过程,如同伴团体活动中的社会评价和反应及其对个体行为的调节,在社会变迁和文化整合对人的发展的影响中起着关键作用。群体中的行为规范与评价标准的变化通过社会互动过程不仅会影响个体认知、行为和情绪的展现水平,而且也影响它们的功能性意义。本文首先回顾这一领域里的主要理论框架及其在中国情境中应用的问题,并在此基础上着重讨论社会变迁与人的发展的多元建构观点。接着,在对中国儿童独特的气质特征和基于传统文化的社会化方式考察后,进一步从多元建构角度讨论中国当代社会变迁对人的发展的影响的相关研究,包括专刊论文中报告的研究。最后,本文对这一领域的发展方向提出一些建议。

共同富裕社会建设的理论思考与政策分析

“在高质量发展中促进共同富裕”,既是实现中国式现代化的主要任务,也是党的十八大以来关于建设共同富裕社会的重要理念,从政策规范和制度建设层面,将建立三次分配的机制、形成橄榄型的社会分配结构作为建设公平正义的社会体制、实现共同富裕的制度保障。围绕共同富裕开展改善民生的社会建设,对社会福利和社会政策理论研究提出了新的挑战。借鉴发展型社会政策的理论和政策思考来探讨共同富裕社会建设的理论基础和政策依据,防止“再分配”的“共富”观理解的“均贫富”式共同富裕偏向,用系统性社会发展促进共同富裕,应该成为建设共同富裕社会理论思考与政策探索的基本内容。
