Drama and Theatre as Vehicle for Youth Empowerment and Reorientation： A Proposition for National Development and Integration

Apart from serving the functions of enlightenment and entertainment, the theatre is also useful in several other ways. For instance, it is a source of employment, cultural preservation, presentation, and projection. It also serves therapeutic functions and as social control mechanism in a society. It is a mirror of life, reflecting and highlighting the moral codes and the ills of society and castigating social evil and its doers. Beyond all of these, the theatre could also serve as an agent of civilization, community mobilisation, and youth development and emancipation. This paper discusses how the potentials of the youth in a country such as Nigeria, could be harnessed and deployed for the purposes of national orientation, development, and integration, using culture, drama, and theatre as the defining tools for this evolvement.

The Thesaurus Conception of Russian Youth

There are deep-rooted traditions of researches on the youth problems in Russia, By their trends and purposes they partly concur with the traditions of the humanities in Europe and America. In Russia in different timesmit was the same way in the West-diverse youth concepts had been conveying and continue to express the society＇s expectations for new generations. This is in a sense a theoretical mirror of the natural process of generation change. Under modern conditions these concepts can be reduced to three directions： youth-＂no man＇s land＂, youth-social danger, youth-hope of society. At the same time youth theories have the mark of the socio-cultural contexts and contexts of the development of the humanities in Russia. In this article these similarities and distinctions will be examined.

The Long-term Consequences of Ordeals:Evidence from the Chinese Sent-down Movement

The Chinese sent-down movement between the mid 1950s to the late 1970s is a suffering period for Chinese sent-down youths.Using the treatment effect model and the ordered probit model,we examine the impact of sent-down experience on sent-down youths’income and happiness based on the sample of CGSS2003 and CGSS2006.By doing so,we can explore the long-term consequences of one’s suffering experience.The overall sample regression results show that sent-down experience increase 42% of individuals’income,while reducing 13% of individuals’happiness.Sub-sample analysis results are robust to the conclusion that the sent-down experience makes a positive impact on income and a negative impact on happiness.This study provides objective evidence for the historical evaluation of sent-down movement,a new interpretation for the Easterlin paradox from the view of personality latitude,new empirical evidence for supporting the new human capital theory,and useful inspiration for the the current grass-roots employment policy for university graduates in China.

Hua Tuo’s Wu Qin Xi (Five Animal Frolics) Movements and the Logic behind It

The key proposition of this hypothesis is logic behind the order of movements of Hua Tuo’s qigong Wu Qin Xi(Five animal frolics).To date,there were many discussions about connection of the movements of Wu Qin Xi with existing TCM theories and why Hua Tuo made it in that particular way.Some experts are saying that there is no connection but if all stories of Hua Tuo’s abilities and knowledge were half-truth,he wouldn’t let even the order of movements of qigong that he created be just a random order.Hypothesis is exploring different views on Taiji movement direction,Wu Xing and connection between animals in Wu Qin Xi,Lo Shu square and Sun wheel and proposing possible solution to the question“Why Hua Tuo made such order of animals in Wu Qin Xi?”by analyzing and and cross referencing the common ground between theories and bridging the gap the we were left without any written explanation from the master itself.Further progress and confirmation of this hypothesis requires deeper research and cooperation between Qigong expert historians.

Are we leveling the playing field？ Trends and disparities in sports participation among sexual minority youth in Canada

Purpose: Sports participation and physical fitness are widely beneficial for young people, yet activity levels among young people are declining.Despite growing popular media attention on the participation of sexual minority(e.g., lesbian, gay, and bisexual) youth in sports and various campaigns to improve the often homophobic climate of sports, there is limited evidence that sexual minority youth participate in sports. Our aim was to provide a current portrait of sports participation among 3 groups of sexual minority youth(e.g., lesbian, gay, and bisexual) in British Columbia, Canada, as well as to document population trends.Methods: Pooled population-level data from British Columbia, Canada(n = 99,373) were used to examine trends and disparities in sports participation among sexual minority and heterosexual youth. Age-adjusted logistic regression models were used to examine changes in participation over time and disparities in participation over time(1998—2013).Results: We found an overall decline in sports participation and physical activity(PA) for all youth. Sexual minority students were less likely to participate in formal sports(with a coach) and informal sports(without a coach) compared with their heterosexual peers. The disparity in participating in informal sports between heterosexual and sexual minority youth has narrowed over time for some sexual orientation groups, whereas the disparity in participating in formal sports has widened over time in some cases.Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive examination of sports participation among sexual minority youth over the past 15 years.Despite changing societal attitudes and laudable efforts to reduce homophobia in sports, results suggest that there are continued barriers to participation for sexual minority youth. Further research is needed to understand the factors that limit sports participation for these youth and to inform program development. PA is critical to lifelong health and well-being, and thus continued efforts are needed to increase the sports participation of sexual minority youth in particular.

Prevalence of meeting 24-Hour Movement Guidelines from pre-school to adolescence: A systematic review and meta-analysis including 387,437 participants and 23 countries

Background:Meeting the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines(physical activity,screen time,and sleep duration) has been associated with positive health indicators.However,there are no previous meta-analyses that have examined the overall adherence to the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines from pre-school to adolescence across the world.Therefore,the main purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the overall(non)adherence to the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines among preschoolers,children,and adolescents worldwide.Methods:Four electronic databases(MEDLINE,Scopus,Web of Science,and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) were searched for quantitative studies published in Spanish and English between January 2016 and May 2021.Studies that were conducted with apparently healthy participants and reported the overall(non)adherence to the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines in preschoolers and/or children and/or adolescents were included.Results:Sixty-three studies comprising 387,437 individuals(51% girls) aged 3-18 years from 23 countries were included.Overall,7.12%(95%confidence interval(95%CI):6.45%-7.78%) of youth met all three 24-Hour Movement Guidelines,and 19.21%(95%CI:16.73%-21.69%)met none of the 3 recommendations.Concerning sex,adherence to all recommendations was significantly lower in girls(3.75%,95%CI:3.23%-4.27%) than in boys(6.89%,95%CI:5.89%-7.89%)(p <0.001).However,there were no sex differences regarding adherence to any of the 3 individual recommendations(girls,15.66%,95%CI:8.40%-22.92%;boys,12.95%,95%CI:6.57%-19.33%).In terms of age group,adherence to the 3 recommendations was 11.26%(95%CI:8.68%-13.84%),10.31%(95%CI:7.49%-13.12%),and 2.68%(95%CI:1.78%-3.58%) in preschoolers,children,and adolescents,respectively.Conversely,8.81%(95%CI:5.97%-11.64%) of preschoolers,15.57%(95%CI:11.60%-19.54%) of children,and 28.59%(95%CI:22.42%-34.75%) of adolescents did not meet any of the recommendations.South America was the region with the lowest adherence(all:2.93%;none:31.72%).Overall adherence to the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines was positively related to country Human Development Index(β=-0.37,95%CI:-0.65 to-0.09;p=0.010).Conclusion:Most young people fail to meet the three 24-Hour Movement Guidelines,particularly adolescents,girls,and those who are from countries with a lower Human Development Index.Moreover,1 in 5 young people did not meet any of these recommendations.Therefore,these results highlight the need to develop age-and sex-specific strategies to promote these movement behaviors from the early stages of life.

“青年向”:文化自信视域下国产动画电影的自觉拓展

中国动画电影正处在从“文化自觉”迈向“文化自信”的关键性转型时期,由此也正在以往的“低幼向”与“合家欢”方向之外积极区分目标观众,自觉拓展并巩固分层市场,瞄准数量庞大的青年受众,探索一套与“青年向”契合的生产营销机制。“青年向”国产动画电影以过去引进美、日动画所培养起来的庞大观众群体为基础,在叙事上摆脱了“低幼”标签,开始通过动画体裁探讨成人世界的现实问题,在审美上自觉形成了一种融汇着古今中西元素的新的美学风格。票房数据和观众口碑都可以佐证,“青年向”有望以其巨大的发展潜力,给国产动画电影产业链补充一个重要环节,并与“低幼向”“合家欢”作品一起朝着“国漫崛起”迈进。

皖籍进步青年的思想转变与身份转换——以1919—1923 年安徽青年运动为中心

1919—1923年,安徽相继爆发了五四运动、六二学潮、反对第三届省议会贿选等十数次影响较大的青年运动。作为青年运动的主体,部分皖籍青年在此过程中逐渐认识马克思主义的科学性和无产阶级力量的强大,思想开始由改良转向革命,站到无产阶级革命的立场上来。随着运动目标从争取学生权益发展到反对当局,皖籍青年进而加入政党以寻求政治力量,在思想转变的基础上进一步实现了身份转换。需要指出的是,以上环节并不是单一的线性过程,也不是皖籍青年个人发展的唯一路径。但对这一发展路径的内在逻辑进行探析,可以回溯一代皖籍革命青年的成长轨迹,也可从中映照出安徽马克思主义传播和中共党组织发展的历史进路。

上山下乡运动时期青海省安置知青人数及其特点分析

上山下乡运动时期青海省共安置下乡知青4.2万多名,这些知青大多是来自省内西宁等地的城镇知识青年,主要安置分布于省内河湟谷地等农业区。这一时期青海知青下乡人数的升降起伏与全国总体一致,但受自然条件、经济及人文社会条件等因素的影响,也具有自身的特点。

群际接触影响两岸青年合作的文化机制研究

群际接触是促进群际和谐与改善群际关系的重要途径之一。两岸青年的群际接触有助于深化两岸青年群体融合发展。以群际接触理论为依据,对414名台湾地区青年开展社会心理学实验,在探究群际接触对两岸青年合作行为影响基础上,比较不同文化取向台湾地区青年群际接触效果的差异,并揭示文化情境的启动效应。研究发现:(1)文化取向发挥调节作用,积极群际接触对两岸青年合作行为的影响受到个人主义水平的调节。越推崇集体观念和人际联结的台湾青年,积极群际接触越积极,表现出的合作水平越高。(2)文化情境对台湾地区青年的文化取向有启动效应,文化取向模糊的台湾地区青年发生个人主义—取向模糊—集体主义之间的梯度变化,对两岸青年合作产生积极影响。从群际合作研究的文化维度探究群际接触影响两岸青年合作行为的文化机制,证明了通过文化进一步提升两岸青年交流合作质量的学理依据。实践上,在两岸现有接触条件下,聚焦台湾地区青年群体内在文化特征,从推崇集体观念和人际联结的台湾地区青年群体着手,夯实两岸青年的中华文化意识,有助于优化两岸青年群际接触效果。

早年留守经历对农村留守儿童成年后生育动机的影响

基于2010—2020年中国家庭追踪调查数据(CFPS),采用反事实分析方法将生育动机分为个人导向型和家庭导向型,探讨了早年留守经历对农村留守儿童成年后生育动机的影响。研究结果表明:早年留守经历会减弱农村留守儿童成年后家庭导向型生育动机,并加强其个人导向型生育动机;异质性分析表明留守经历主要弱化男性、“90后”、独生子女以及受过高等教育的群体的家庭导向型生育动机。而机制分析表明,农村留守儿童的留守经历会通过影响心理健康和社会地位进而影响其成年后的家庭导向型生育动机。进一步的分析发现,留守经历对仅父亲外出以及在0~3岁时经历留守的群体的家庭导向型生育动机的负面影响程度更深,且最终会降低其生育意愿。因此,应重点关注留守儿童的心理健康,尽力弥补其家庭父母教育和情感的缺失,以帮助其形成积极的生育观。

南美奥连特盆地坎潘阶碳酸盐岩建隆的识别及科迪勒拉运动早期抬升对Main-M1储集层沉积的控制作用

厄瓜多尔奥连特盆地Main-M1砂岩储集层是该盆地近年来重要的构造-岩性圈闭勘探目的层系,寻找砂体和岩性尖灭带是Main-M1砂岩勘探的关键。该盆地为晚白垩世弧后热沉降盆地和新生代前陆盆地的叠合盆地,在构造上分为西部逆冲褶皱带、中部前渊带和东部斜坡带,在前渊带发育一系列近N-S走向长轴背斜。综合观察和分析发现,在研究区内长轴背斜上生长了1个碳酸盐岩建隆,地震上具有明显的边界反射形成丘状外观和较连续的弱振幅内部反射,测井上具有厚层、近箱型低GR响应特征。该建隆表明在其沉积的坎潘阶时期,长轴背斜已经开始抬升,将背斜顶部推升至古水面附近,形成建隆局部生长的条件。压实回剥方法恢复古地貌证实,长轴背斜在坎潘阶早期开始发育,构造抬升幅度为7~10 m。由于构造抬升和建隆发育始于Main-M1沉积前,抬升古地貌可影响砂岩沉积。根据背斜上数十口已钻井Main-M1砂体厚度统计,发现背斜顶部砂岩储集层整体较发育,但古建隆顶部砂层厚度减薄或者缺失,在背斜的南部延伸段,构造顶部砂岩缺失,仅在东部侧翼富集。提出了近N-S向背斜古地貌影响Main-M1砂体沉积,使砂岩于富集于构造下倾方向的控砂模式。该模式可形成上倾尖灭型构造-岩性圈闭,从而提供了通过古地貌恢复在奥连特盆地前渊带寻找新圈闭的勘探思路。

青年发展型城市的空间响应与规划策略——以东莞为例
