On Culture's Diversity and Human Rights' Development

As a universal word, the concept of human rights has been accepted and practiced by all countries around the world. Human rights are the fundamental rights which are or ought to be

Cultural Diversity and Human Rights Development in Asia

Asia is an area filled with vigor and vitality and also conflicts, an area that ＂takes pride in its rich cultures, religions and diversity.＂More and more statesmen and scholars are watching closely the human rights conditions in the changing Asia. Asia is no longer a concept in its economic, cultural and geographical sense. It has become a regional community that has had an important impact on the human rights development in the world. In the 21 st century filled with challenges and hopes, people want to see not only an economically prosperous Asia but also an Asia community with increasing humanistic spirit and pursuit for constitutionalist values.

The calculation and analysis of ecological footprints,diversity and developm ent capacity of China

T he ecological footprint of China's provinces is calculated in this pap er. In general, China's development is not sustainable because its ecological footprint is beyond its bio-capacity. The sustainability status of each pr ovince in China is presented. Ulanowicz's development capacity formula w as introduced to discuss the relationship of development and ecological footprin t's diversity. The diversity of ecological impacts is related to the e fficiency with which an economy uses the source and sink services of the environment and, in this view, should be a factor in economic output. Developme nt capacity, calculated from the ecological footprint and its diversity , is used to examine the relationship of economic output with the st ructure of the ecological footprint. China and its provinces are prese nted as a case study to investigate this relationship. The analysis s hows that footprint capacity is significant in predicting economic outp ut. Increasing the ecological footprint's diversity is presented as another way to increase development capacity.

Stand development patterns of forest cover types in the natural forests of northern Baekdudaegan in South Korea

The purpose of this study was to classify current forest cover types,and to investigate stand development patterns for natural forests in six areas in northern Baekdudaegan,South Korea.Twenty-eight independent forest communities were aggregated into eight forest cover types by species composition in the overstory of each forest community.The forest cover types were of mixed mesophytic,‘‘others’ ’ deciduous,Quercus mongolica dominant,Q.mongolica pure,Pinus densiflora–Q.mongolica,P.densiflora,Betula ermanii,and Q.mongolica–P.koraiensis.The ecological information was organized by importance value and species diversity for each forest type.Based on the correlation between species diversity index and the abundance of Q.mongolica plus P.densiflora for corresponding forest cover types,we compared the developmental process and approximate successional pathway between each cover type.The P.densiflora forest cover type changes into the P.densiflora–Q.mongolica cover type,followed by the Q.mongolica dominant cover type through continuous invasion of the oak trees.Furthermore,the Q.mongolica pure cover type would spread toward the Q.mongolica dominant cover type with a mixture of various deciduous tree species.The Q.mongolica dominant cover type progresses through the other deciduous cover types to the mixed mesophytic cover type with diversified composition and structure.On the mid to lower slopes,with loamy soils and good moisture conditions,various deciduous forest types should progress,by ecological succession,toward the mixed mesophytic cover type without any further disturbance.

Culture Diversity and Biodiversity Protection of Zhuang People in Western Guangxi

[ Objective ] The aim was to explore the relation between culture diversity and biodiversity of the Zhuang people. [ Method ] Botany in minority ethnic groups was researched based on information searching, interviewing and surveying with consideration of the importance of cultural and biological diversity. [ Result] The Zhuang culture, involving color, cuisine, geography and song, is closely related to biodiversity, and worship culture, involving plants, animals, and folk cus- tom, plays an important role in protection of biodiversity. However, biodiversity is significantly affected by some factors, including natural condition, population quality, traditional culture, wrong policies, negative effect of modern ecological culture, natural and environmental resources. [ Conclusion] It is suggested that lo- cal education should be enhanced to absorb modem science＆technology, to promote the concept of confirming to nature and of harmonious development and to achieve sustainable development in western of Guangxi.

Biological Diversity, Land Degradation and Sustainable Rural Livelihoods

The 1998 Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity asked national governments to demonstrate the importance of biological diversity in supporting rural communities. This paper introduces‘agrodiversity’as the primary way in which farmers use biological diversity and, more generally, the natural diversity of the environment for production, including their choice of crops, and management of land, water and biota as a whole. Promoting agrodiversity and understanding how it functions in tropical smallholder farming systems is the best way that importance may be shown. A win-win scenario is presented which links agrodiversity to land degradation control and sustainable rural livelihoods as evidenced by food security. It is argued that policies that encourage biological diversity in areas of land use will not only meet countries’ responsibilities under the Convention but will also address land degradation problems and support to rural livelihoods. The human significance of various types of biological diversity is shown. Sustainable rural livelihoods are presented in the new capital assets framework to demonstrate how rural households may use various components to control land degradation. To enable agrodiversity to be implemented practically, it has been codified into core elements of: biophysical diversity, the diversity of the natural environment that controls the resource base for food production; management diversity that embraces the practices (many of them indigenous) of farmers such as live hedges, soil amendments and ridge tillage techniques; agro-biodiversity which is the diversity of crop, plant and animal combinations; and organisational diversity, the way that farms are owned and operated, and the way that capital assets are allocated. Each element is then systematically related to show how agrodiversity controls land degradation and how it promotes food security. The example of the maize-Mucuna system in South America is cited as an evident demonstration of the value of agrodiversity to both soil conservation and to smallholder farmers’ livelihoods.

Study of Camelina Biodiversity in Southwestern of Algeria

In the framework of biodiversity＇s studies of animal＇s genetic resources in general and especially camels, the authors focused, in the case of biodiversity, on the phenotypic and genetic variability of each camel populations studied in southwestern of Algeria. The objective of the present study is to describe the conditions of dromedaries breeding, to analyze their phenotypic diversity, redefine the range flocks, highlight the perspectives of exploitation and use their products in livestock systems sustainablely. Knowing that the camel occupies a vital place in the socioeconomic development of breeders, owing to the multiple functions and services it provides. However, the pressures of diverse origins including population growth and recurrent droughts take serious threats to the development of the species. This survey was conducted during 2 years over 2500 animals owned by 60 farmers were studied. These animals were analyzed in terms of phenotypic and ethno-geographical evolution of breeding. A large number of blood samples （200） were collected, which allowed us to be the first DNA bank of camels in Algeria.

Development and Protection: Reshaping Cultural Policies——A Study of the UN's Advancement of Cultural and Creative Industry in Developing Countries

Cultural diversity originates from modern cultural industries. The UN's decade–long promotion of cultural diversity coincides with the advancement of China's cultural and creative industries; however, China's situation is different from the creative economy advocated by the UN in terms of developmental logic. The policy of cultural diversity provides a basis for the UN to push forward the development of cultural and creative industries in developing countries. It is derived from the developmental theories of developed countries, which regard creativity(innovation) as a "technique" and overlook its uniqueness. The digital revolution has never given fair play to developing countries which explains why the UN's promotion of cultural diversity has not yet helped developing countries to substantially increase their exports of cultural goods and services in the past ten years. Nevertheless, the development of the in ternet and digital technology may create an opportunity for developing countries to catch up with and surpass their developed neighbors. China's unique approach to cultural and creative development may serve as a model for the international community to pursue sustainable development in the future.

An Interactive Model for Analyzing the Development of the Communication Discipline： Israel as a Case Study

Our paper presents an interactive four-dimensional model for studying the long- and short-term development of the communication discipline with Israel serving as a case study： institutional-contextual, institutional-in-field, intellectual-contextual, and intellectual-in-field. Our empirical analysis utilized personal interviews, archive documents, and statistical data. Four main processes were discerned： transition from integration to alienation between institutions of higher learning and the larger political and ideological context; a shift from Hebrew University Institute of Communication＇s institutional monopoly to a multiplicity of increasingly competitive communication schools/departments; transition from intellectual hegemony to limited intellectual diversity; and gradually improving status for the communication field among social science disciplines. Our case-study analysis validated the interactive relationship among the model＇s conceptual dimensions, calling for future cross-national comparisons.

人口规模回旋空间与区域产业发展

未来30年是中国式现代化进程的关键时期,实现人口规模巨大的现代化意味着需要雄厚物质基础,这个物质基础需要一个相对完整、自主、庞大而丰裕度较高的产业体系予以支撑。深入认识人口增长时期区域经济发展过程中人口因素在产业发展中起到的作用有助于在人口负增长条件下更好地保持产业体系完整性,进一步提高劳动生产率,提升产业丰裕度。为此,本文基于文献析出方法从理论上阐释区域产业发展过程中存在依据自身人口规模进行专业化与多样性选择的情况,并且存在两者互动关系。在此基础上,选择以地级市和城市群为观察样本,采用两步广义矩模型(GMM)、空间杜宾模型,并通过工具变量解决内生性问题,检验了在一定技术水平和人力资本水平等其他条件下,区域产业专业化和多样性变动发展过程中人口规模的回旋效应和具体作用。研究发现:区域人口规模对区域产业专业化集聚和发展的互动影响呈现倒“U”型;区域人口规模对区域产业多样性集聚和发展的互动影响呈现“U”型;在区域产业专业化、多样性集聚过程中,存在空间溢出效应;中原城市群、珠三角城市群和京津冀城市群产业集聚的专业化效应和多样性效应得到充分释放,长三角城市群产业集聚的多样性效应更加明显。这充分说明在拥有巨大人口规模形成的超大市场和充沛的劳动力供给且国土广袤的前提下,各个空间单元(行政区域)可以根据自身禀赋优势和人口规模,在国内大市场中选择更适宜的产业集聚模式,即专业化和多样性,从而实现区域产业分工协调发展,如此便能够在总体人口负增长和区域人口增减分异明显的状态下,保持全国产业体系完整和基础性产业丰裕度提升。这一结果充分证明巨大的人口规模以及各个区域合理的分布使我国在区域产业专业化、多样性和产业体系完整性方面具有较大的回旋空间。当然,人口规模回旋空间效应的释放不会完全自动形成,需要以国家战略需求为导向,推进国内统一大市场建设,畅通要素流动,破除行政壁垒;人口需要朝着规模稳定、素质提升、结构均衡、分布合理和世代赓续的高质量发展方向和轨道转变。只有人口高质量发展才能够为现代化产业体系建设和经济高质量发展提供更大更多的新动能。

教育公平视野下普职分流的思考与启示

认同普职分流的观点主张普职分流有助于学生就业,有利于教育公平,有助于提升教育教学效率。反对普职分流的观点认为职业教育的专业对应的是社会底层的职业,依照才能选拔并不公平,不利于职教学生的发展。在目前的发展阶段,普职分流只是影响职业分层和教育公平的因素之一,它还受到社会、家庭、认知等诸多因素的影响。在推动现代教育体制高质量发展的背景下,需要通过实行普通教育与职业教育的错位发展,完善普职平等的教育制度,优化按劳分配的薪酬体系等措施,确保实现普职协调发展。

从协同到求异:指向教师专业发展的U-S合作优化研究

U-S合作是教师专业发展的重要举措。审视U-S合作的历程可知,U-S合作致力于多方位促进教师专业发展,协同逐渐成为U-S合作促进教师专业发展的底层逻辑。随着合作的持续推进,这一底层逻辑在促进教师专业发展方面所潜在的矛盾也逐渐暴露出来。一方面,大学与中小学的文化差异阻碍了协同的深度发生;另一方面,为了实现大学与中小学的协同,双方不得不做出诸多的妥协,在妥协的语境下,中小学教师往往面临着主体性丧失的风险。与之相对,在求异这一核心理念的引领下,跨界学习旗帜鲜明地提出了“差异即资源”的主张,并通过互动场域的营造和互动系统的建构,为“差异即资源”提供了现实可能,也为优化U-S合作提供了新的思路。

从单一到多元:博士生职业发展多样化的现实需求及教育支持策略研究

博士生职业发展从单一到多元是社会发展的产物。从国内外现状看,博士生职业发展多样化缘于学术劳动力市场中精英学术岗位供需失衡、学术职位稳定性下降的“推力”与非学术劳动力市场中对高层次人才需求日益增长的“拉力”等现实因素的共同作用。然而,由于博士生学术身份固化下的择业取向单一、高校培养观念滞后下的教育支持单一、职业预期定向下的学生智能单一等问题,至今大多数博士毕业生依然囿于学术职位。本研究通过分析美国大学协会的“博士生教育倡议”项目实践,借鉴项目中试点高校通过理念更新、数据透明、机制革新、资源整合为博士生职业发展多样化提供教育支持的成功经验,针对我国博士生教育的实际情况,提出以“新定位”拓宽培养目标、以“数字化”打开求职渠道、以“强机制”助力个性化培养、以“广合作”推动资源整合等教育支持策略。
