Roles of State Strategy of Adaptation to Climate Change in China

For the adverse impacts of climate change, China gov- ernment should place the problem of adaptation to climate change on the agenda. It is time to institute and implement a state adap- tive strategy to reduce the adverse impacts on economy, commu- nity and people's health and life by international cooperation and our own endeavor. A state strategy of adaptation to climate change should be closely linked with other current interrelated national strategies, and they should be supplemented and improved by each other. This paper discusses the roles of the state strategy of adaptation to climate change in the state climate change integra- tive strategy, the environmental protection strategy, and the sus- tainable development strategy in China. Furthermore, it proposes the main aims of the state adaptive strategy of China.

Requirement Change Management in Global Software Environment Using Cloud Computing

The successful implementation of any software project depends upon the requirements. Change in requirements at any stage during the life cycle of software development is taken as a healthy process. However, making out this change in a co-located environment is somewhat easier than the distributed environment where stakeholders are scattered at more than one location. This raises many challenges?i.e.?coordination, communication & control, managing change effectively and efficiently and managing central repository. Thus, cloud computing can be applied to minimize these challenges among the stakeholders. We have used a case study to evaluate the framework using cloud computing.

The Issue of Self-concept：Perceptions of Chinese Student Teachers about Their Roles

This article has presented some stereotypical views held by Western people about Chinese teachers,and then clarified these misperceptions caused by Western people's different understanding of the meanings of "teacher authority","double parental identities",and"strictness"compared to their Chinese counterparts.Then a case study of three Chinese student teachers studying in one Australian university is conducted to analyze their feelings and experiences of teaching in Australia.Finally,the study suggests that Chinese teacher must retain the essence of Chinese good teachers while adopting the advantages of Western teaching culture to improve his / her own teaching practice,and if so,these self changes could be significant to recreate themselves as new Chinese teachers.

On the Learner Autonomy and the Teacher's Role

About learning,more emphasis was put on the role of teachers in the past,while gradually people realized the key role of the learner during the process of teaching and learning.The traditional class mode was challenged.The concept of student-centre class changes the roles of the teacher and the students.The rule of the students becomes more and more important,which means the student will take more responsibilities on learning,and their autonomy should be firmed.And this article will discuss the teacher's role under the concept of learner autonomy.

Thickness estimation of the Longbasaba Glacier:methods and application

A total of 71,177 glaciers exist on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,according to the Randolph Glacier Inventory(RGI 6.0).Despite their large number,glacier ice thickness data are relatively scarce.This study utilizes digital elevation model data and ground-penetrating radar thickness measurements to estimate the distribution and variation of ice thickness of the Longbasaba Glacier using Glacier bed Topography(GlabTop),a full-width expansion model,and the Huss and Farinotti(HF)model.Results show that the average absolute deviations of GlabTop,the full-width expansion model,and the HF model are 9.8,15.5,and 10.9 m,respectively,indicating that GlabTop performs the best in simulating glacier thickness distribution.During 1980−2015,the Longbasaba Glacier thinned by an average of 7.9±1.3 m or 0.23±0.04 m/a,and its ice volume shrunk by 0.28±0.04 km3 with an average reduction rate of 0.0081±0.0001 km^3/a.In the investigation period,the area and volume of Longbasaba Lake expanded at rates of 0.12±0.01 km^2/a and 0.0132±0.0018 km3/a,respectively.This proglacial lake could potentially extend up to 5,000 m from the lake dam.

Assessing the relative role of climate change and human activities in sandy desertification of Ordos region, China

Climate change and human activities are driving forces of sandy desertification and the relative role of them in sandy desertification is the hot point in related researches. A study was carried to assess the relative role of climate change and human activities in sandy desertification of Ordos region in China. Potential NPP and the difference between potential and actual NPP were selected as indicators to assess the relative role of climate change and human activities in sandy desertification, respectively. Assessing methods were built based on some scenarios for the reversion and expansion of sandy desertification and the relative role of climate change and human activities in sandy desertification of Ordos region were assessed from 1981 to 2000. The results showed that although some local places experienced an expansion of sandy desertification, the change of sandy desertification of Ordos region from 1981 to 2000 showed a stably reversing trend. The relative role of climate change and human activities in sandy desertification of Ordos region varied at different temporal and spatial scales in the reversion and expansion processes. In the reversion of sandy desertification, climate change was the dominant factor in the period of 1981 to 1990 and the reversed areas mainly induced by climate change including Mu Us sandy land and the transition zone between temperate steppe and temperate deciduous scrubs in north east of Ordos region; however, human activities controlled the reversed process during the period from 1991 to 2000 and the areas mainly induced by human activities distributed in all banners of Ordos region. In the expansion of sandy desertification, human activities were the dominant factor in the period of 1981 to 1990 and the expanded areas mainly included the regions around common boundary of Hanggin, Dalad Banners and Dongsheng City; however, climate change dominated the expansion of sandy desertification from 1991 to 2000, the expanded areas equably distributed in the whole of Ordos region except the south east of Otog Qian, Uxin and Jungar Banners.

Assessment of the relative role of climate change and human activities in desertification：

Climate change and human activities are the two kinds of driving forces in desertification,and assessing their relative role in desertification is of great significance to deeply understanding the driving mechanisms and preventing desertification expansion.This paper has systematically reviewed the progress of the researches on assessing the relative role of climate change and human activities in desertification from qualitative,semi-quantitative and quantitative aspects respectively.The authors found that there were still some problems in the previous researches.For example,the subjectivity in assessment was obvious,the assessment cannot be easily repeated,and the assessment and its results were always based on administrative regions and less taken and expressed in a continuous space.According to the progress of previous researches and the works conducted by the authors recently,we put forward a quantitative approach by selecting NPP as a common indicator to measure the relative role of climate change and human activities in desertification and dividing the ecological process of ＂driving force effect-dynamic response of desertified land＂ into several scenarios.Meanwhile,validation and scale of assessment should be taken into account when quantitative assessment of the relative role of climate change and human activities in desertification are carried out.

性别刻板印象的变与不变?来自内容、方法与影响的证据

性别刻板印象作为一种社会认知,是人们对男性和女性的特征、属性和行为的普遍信念。在社会变迁的宏大背景下,研究者通过传统方法(过去-现在-未来评价范式、横断序列设计、横断历史元分析)和新近技术(词嵌入)探讨了性别刻板印象变迁。虽然有少许研究声称性别刻板印象未随时间发生变化,但大部分研究基于社会角色理论,都支持性别刻板印象已随时间发生变迁。变迁模式主要表现为:认为女性在男性化特征(如能动性)上不断增长,而男性在女性化特征上(如共生性)可能有所增长。这些变迁对缩小经济上的性别差异具有积极作用,但也可能会给家庭和健康带来消极后果。未来研究应在多学科交叉、多方法融合的基础上,以细化方式、网络视角去考察性别刻板印象变迁,尤其要重视在中国文化背景下对该主题的探究。

碳中和背景下全球水电发展态势与中国角色

“好父亲”的社会建构——基于“情境—身份”框架的分析

基于“情境—身份”分析框架,以15个家庭父母双方的访谈资料为基础呈现当代中国社会中“好父亲”的建构过程、机制及后果,结果显示:在父亲身份可能被唤醒的交往情境、抚育情境及消费情境中,“好父亲”的社会建构表现为父亲身份与抚育者角色和家长角色的聚合以及与消费支柱型角色的偏离;由于缺乏结构层面的角色模范,行动者层面的父亲身份建构呈现出个体化与模糊化特征,“好父亲”的展现严重依赖于母亲的配合表演。上述发现有助于将“父亲身份的社会建构”带入家庭与性别社会学的研究中心,还为理解当代社会的性别平等进程提供了新的经验证据。

家庭代际关系变迁与农村女儿养老的生成

女儿养老逐渐成为农村家庭应对人口老龄化的重要选择。基于实地调研发现,当前农村已经出现外嫁女参与养老的现象,经济交换的密集性、情感沟通的密切性与代际互动的情境性是导致这一现象的实践逻辑。这背后的根源在于农村家庭代际关系的转型,从传统的伦理型代际关系转变为现代的实践型代际关系,而实践型代际关系也为女儿养老提供了契机,重塑了农村家庭对女儿的角色期待,形塑了女儿与娘家互动的新样态。由此,中国农村家庭在现代化转型过程中形成了儿女共同参与养老的“双系养老”新秩序,而家庭代际关系变迁的视角也为理解中国农村家庭养老秩序提供了新的解释路径。

民族传统体育参与中女性角色的变化——基于“撒尔嗬”的个案分析

文章以“撒尔嗬”的女性参与实践为个案,考察女性在民族传统体育参与中的角色变化。研究发现,女性在“撒尔嗬”参与中经历了从“缺场”到“在场”的角色变化,这种角色变化呈现在参与人数、参与行为、多元角色扮演3方面。但女性角色转变的过程并不是一蹴而就,而是经历了来自社会、文化制度和观念等方面带来的阻碍,为获得“在场”角色,女性在性别关系下进行了性别权利、性别分工与性别文化的博弈与协商,动力与阻力同时存在。

Assessing the relative role of climate change and human activities in desertification of North China from 1981 to 2010

Desertification is a severe environmental problem induced by both climate change and human activities.This study assessed the relative contribution of climate change,human activities,and different climatic and anthropogenic factors in desertification reversion and expansion of North China from 1981 to 2010.The results showed that the desertification of North China had changed significantly over the past 30 years;desertification reversion and expansion covered an area of 750,464 km^2, and the spatial distribution of these regions exhibited considerable heterogeneity.For desertification reversion, climate change and human activity accounted for 22.6% and 26%,respectively of total reverted land.Wind speed reduction and the improvement ofhydrothermal conditions were the most important climatic factors for desertification reversion in the arid region of Northwest China (ARNC) and the Three-River Headwaters region (TRHR),and the reduction in grassland use intensity was the most important anthropogenic factor related to desertification reversion in Inner Mongolia and regions along the Great Wall (IMGW). For desertification expansion,the relative role of climate change was more obvious,which was mainly attributed to the continuous reduction in precipitation in eastern IMGW, and the increase in grassland use intensity was the main factor underlying regional human-induced desertification expansion.
