Study on the Influence of Farmer Social Capital on Cooperative Supply Willingness of Agricultural Disaster Reduction Public Goods——Based on the Investigation on 515 Farmers

Based on social capital theory,related factors of three dimensions( structure dimension,cognition dimension and relation dimension) of farmer social capital are taken as independent variables,and famer's willingness to cooperatively supply agricultural disaster reduction public goods is taken as dependent variable. Taking 515 farmers in 27 villages of Hubei Province as investigation objects,the influence of farmer social capital on cooperative supply willingness of agricultural disaster reduction public goods is explored by Logistic regression model. Research results show that social solidarity,common value concept,social trust and reciprocal content have positive impact on farmer's willingness of cooperative supply,while annual household income,number of agricultural disaster reduction public goods and social network have negative impact on farmer's willingness of cooperative supply.

Relationship Between Firm’s Social Capital and Innovation Performance:A Meta-Analysis

Despite a surge of studies examining the impact of firm’s social capital on the innovation performance,empirical research shows controversial results.To resolve this problem,this paper conducted a meta-analysis to restudy the relationship between firm’s social capital and innovation performance based on the empirical research results of 63 independent samples.This paper also identified some moderators affecting this relationship.The results indicated that the firm’s social capital-innovation performance link was positive and significant(r=0.363),and the age of the firm and the cultural context affected the impact of social capital on innovation performance to a large extent.Based on these findings,this paper developed recommendations for future research.

Habits on Social Networks at Workplace: A Survey of Motivations and Behaviour

This article explores the use of social networks by workers in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, with particular emphasis on a descriptive or quantitative analysis aimed at understanding motivations and methods of use. More than five hundred and fifty questionnaires were distributed, highlighting workers’ preferred digital channels and platforms. The results indicate that the majority use social media through their mobile phones, with WhatsApp being the most popular app, followed by Facebook and LinkedIn. The study reveals that workers use social media for entertainment purposes and to develop professional and social relationships, with 55% unable to live without social media at work for recreational activities. In addition, 35% spend on average 1 to 2 hours on social networks, mainly between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. It also appears that 46% believe that social networks moderately improve their productivity. These findings can guide marketing strategies, training, technology development and government policies related to the use of social media in the workplace.

Motivations of Individuals Participating in Social Media： A Cultural Perspective

Social media is an information technology that allows users to communicate and share information. With steadily rising number of users across the globe, individuals participate in various activities, like connecting with friends and community members, sharing information, posting political messages, disaster recovery activities, reading daily news, learning, and entertainment, each driven by different sets of motivations. Culture has an influence on the kind of motivation―pro-social and personal needs oriented―that drives social media usage by individuals. Using Hofstede’s （1984b） cultural dimensions, the paper suggests that each of the dimensions will have influences on the social media behaviors differently. Such a cultural perspective helps future social media users to plan the kind of activity and information sharing based on the kind of motivation driving the target audience and the platform providers to design and market accordingly.

Motivations of Using Social Media Through Smartphones Among University Students in the United Arab Emirates

The aim of the study was to investigate gratifications of using social media among university students in the United Arab Emirates. Adopting the uses and gratification approach, the study investigates how the students utilize social media to gratify their personal, social, psychological, and educational needs. The study uses a questionnaire to collect data from a sample of 420 students from two universities in the UAE: University of Sharjah and Zayed University. In each university, two colleges were selected to represent art colleges and sciences colleges. The findings of the study show that 69.3% of the students are accessing social media more than five hours daily. 79.0% of the students access the social media through their smartphones. The main social media accessed are WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. The main reasons of using social media are seeking information, communicating with friends, consuming time, and following up public affairs.

Kenya and the Emerging Power-Shift in Global Political-Economy: Right-Wing Populism and Social Media Activism

A potential global power transition characterized by emerging economies of BRICS where China is the likely leading contender against the United States as the only global hegemon seems inevitable.The increasingly multipolar world is evidenced by the attention given to right-wing populism in Europe and USA attributed to China’s aggressive approach to international trade through its stealth entry and subsequent investments in global political-economy.China’s presence in Africa and Trump’s America first policy’s attempt to open“new business frontiers”in emerging economies of Asia and Africa in order to contain Chinese influence and threat in global hegemony are interesting happenstances that require closer scrutiny.Kenya,the biggest economy in East Africa,which is among the fastest growing regions globally,is the gateway to the East African Common Market.Historically,Kenya has a policy of non-alignment in international relations making it possible to receive FDI from both China and the US but with highly contested elections.Therefore,Kenya presents a perfect laboratory for examining the emerging power-shift in global political-economy as the country grapples with traditionally chaotic electoral power transitions and the two biggest economies in the world compete for business in Nairobi.The 2017 elections not only betrayed the international community’s commitment to Western values of human rights and democracy,but also revealed the challenges of governance in post-World War II global liberalism characterized by sophisticated media institutional spaces.

The Role of New Media in Communicating to Beneficiaries of Ngos Working in Kajiado County, Kenya

Organizations serving rural communities in Kenya have found use for media as a tool of replacement for personal interface in the daily communication with the beneficiaries of their programmes in deprived areas. The interactions between two non-governmental organizations （NGOs） and rural beneficiaries in Isinya, Kajiado County, provide case studies of how NGOs modernize their outreach via new media and how beneficiaries respond to the change. The research was not only concerned with the presence of information technology （IT） and online facilities in remote and deprived locations. It also evaluated responses to the replacement of person-to-person contact with technologies, such as social media, the Internet, Compact Disc-Read Only Memory （CD-ROMs）, and Digital Versatile Disc （DVDs）. Conducted in four focus groups, the research evaluated the uptake of new media technologies by beneficiaries following the transition, asked whether beneficiaries engaged with the materials being communicated, and assessed whether this confluence of technology and culture had eased the flow of communication, or unsettled it. Evidence of discomfort among the older （over 50-year-old） beneficiaries stemmed from fear of failure to master the technologies and a desire for a continuation of regular interpersonal interaction with the NGO field officers （whose field trips were scaled back in preference of computer-mediated communication）. However, younger （under 40-year-old） beneficiaries were less insistent on regular interpersonal visits and were appreciative of the use of technology, and of the building of Maarifa Centres to give the beneficiaries free access to internet, DVDs, and hard drive-based information materials. Another demographic, beneficiaries aged between 40 and 50 years old, said they were not comfortable with the change and wanted the interpersonal interaction to continue, but were open to a longer-term transition once the beneficiaries were all conversant with the uses of the new technologies. The study recommends a better managed transition that accommodated the beneficiaries’ fears, misgivings, and cultural preference for verbal, face-to-face consultation.

社交媒体在街区集体行动中的共意动员机制分析——以豫西S街道护校微信群为例

共意动员是行动者有意识地建构认同并推动个体为行动参与服务,其酝酿、发展和效果跟信息传播息息相关,社交媒体为共意动员提供了新的传播渠道。论文以豫西Y市S街道旨在保护当地中学的微信群为例,采用个案研究与文本分析相结合的方法,考察微信群的共意动员机制及其线下行动交互作用的过程。研究发现,街区层面的集体行动囿于行动主体的有限资源难以实现媒介近用,但微信群中互动仪式的生成和高度同质的个体为行动者的内部动员提供了空间和张力。微信群的共意动员贯穿街区集体行动全过程:行动发生前,人们依照利益勾连、集体记忆和悲情叙事三种逻辑建构认同;行动中,则通过抵制“搭便车”开展二次动员,并运用自我克制、媒介求助、“仪式表演”与线下行动进行交互,从而对集体行动的规模、性质和结果产生影响。

新媒体使用、资本禀赋与社会治理效能感——基于CSS2019数据的实证分析

利用2019年中国社会状况综合调查数据,探讨新媒体使用、资本禀赋对社会治理效能感的影响及其具体作用机制。研究发现,新媒体使用和资本禀赋对社会治理效能感均具有显著正向影响,且资本禀赋的影响力强于新媒体使用的影响力。在新媒体使用中,学习型新媒体使用对社会治理效能感的影响力强于娱乐型新媒体使用;在资本禀赋中,文化资本、经济资本和社会资本对社会治理效能感的影响力依次递增。因此,优化现实社会和网络社会的关系结构,加强互联网平台规制,重视资本禀赋的提升,均对社会治理之优化具有重要意义。

论符号消费游戏差异化编码的意识形态功能

欧美发达国家物品丰盛的社会景观似乎为人的自由平等提供广阔空间,但随着物品消费狂欢现象的兴起,人的精神却越来越陷入媚俗化的境地。鲍德里亚认为,符号消费依托社会价值编码系统建构超真实的符号空间,塑造规训消费者集体无意识的文化空间,实现日常生活游戏版本的完美升级,导致人们即使逃离追求物质享受的虚假需要,仍然会陷入追求社会角色扮演的符号消费游戏。符号消费游戏揭示资本借助符号消费的阶层区分功能,把统治触角延伸到日常生活领域,在差异化竞争中彰显符号消费的意识形态功能,表明资本与现代传媒全面入侵人的社会交往领域的社会操控机制。

Game of capitals:Production of influential online architecture

The grassroots can become an online influencer with the help of social media.Similarly,an online influencer mode is applicable in the architecture field.This study introduces the term"influential online architecture"(IOA)and aims to understand the cause and promotion of the IOA phenomenon and its impact on architecture.This research also introduces Bour-dieu’s four forms of capital,namely,economic,cultural,social,and symbolic capitals,as a framework to argue that IOA is promoted by capitals through visual spectacles,class divisions,national identity,and social recognition.The methodology of this research uses case studies and logical argumentation through presentation and analysis of photos,statistical data,and comments from journals,books,news,and social platforms.The current study concludes that the online influencer mode in architecture should be concerned because the overemphasis on capitals through the production of IOA may erode the design field.This research argues that a well-established architecture criticism and post-occupancy evaluation system and a rational online influencer mode would contribute to the development of the design domain.

流动老人的在线社交参与与社会资本建构--基于333位“老漂族”调查数据的实证分析

城市化进程的快速推进和代际支持体系的延续,催生出新的老年流动人群——“老漂族”。如何协助这一群体深入挖掘并有效利用其社会资本实现积极的老龄化,成为紧迫的民生问题。研究采用量化研究的方法将南京市某小区的“老漂族”作为样本,引入网络技能这一调节变量,旨在探究在线社交对社会资本的影响。结果表明:在线社交活动对“老漂族”的社会资本构建及再社会化过程具有积极的作用。具体而言,相较于网络经验较少的个体,拥有丰富网络经验的“老漂族”在社会资本收益方面表现出更为显著的优势,这一点在离线与在线状态中均有所体现。进一步分析发现,不同类型的在线社交活动加剧了不同社会阶层间“老漂族”在社会资本获取上的差异,使得“数字不平等”现象尤为显著。此外,尽管网络技能通常被视为在线社交活动的重要因素,但在“老漂族”群体中其促进作用并不明显,这可能与他们所处的生存状态及社会环境有关。因此,实现“老漂族”群体的社会资本整合,需要综合考虑其网络技能、社交活动类型以及社会阶层的交互影响,以制定更为有效的支持策略。

社会化商务环境下消费者参与意向研究:基于体验的视角

社会化商务是指基于社会化媒体来进行商务活动的新兴商业模式。作为一种新兴的商业模式,消费者参与社会化商务活动的动机依然缺乏深入的研究。本研究试图从消费者体验的视角分析社会化商务中消费者的参与意向,并基于刺激-机体-反应框架建立了社会化商务中的消费者参与模型,分析了社会化商务环境中的技术特征是如何影响消费者体验,及其参与社会化商务活动的意向。以人人网和新浪微博用户作为调查对象进行实证分析,数据结果表明,消费者体验(社会支持、社会存在及沉浸体验)决定了消费者参与社会化商务的意向,而消费者体验主要受交互性、个性化和社交性技术特点的影响。

外资进入中国传媒业态势与政府规制创新

入世以来,中国践行承诺,不断探索调整外资准入规制,逐渐开放传媒业,以适应形势发展需要。但是,外资的逐利性冲击着国内规制体系,而外资准入规制制度明显供给不足,缺乏完善的预警机制。面对外资进入传媒业的正负效应,国家有关部门应完善以传媒投资主体多元化为核心的传媒产业规制体系,并以积极的传媒规制迎接外资进入的挑战。
