Measuring Spatial Autocorrelation of Vectors

This article introduces measures to quantify spatial autocorrelation for vectors. In contrast to scalar variables, spatial autocorrelation for vectors involves an assessment of both direction and magnitude in space. Extending conventional approaches, measures of global and local spatial associations for vectors are proposed, and the associated statistical properties and significance testing are discussed. The new measures are applied to study the spatial association of taxi movements in the city of Shanghai. Complications due to the edge effect are also examined.     

Behind the Façade of the Rites Controversy: The Intriguing Contrast of Chinese and European Theism

The Chinese rites controversy of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries has been often studied, but hitherto mostly as a quasi-linguistic-and-technical dispute between the followers of Matteo Ricci, the legendary founder of the Jesuit China mission, and his many different enemies in the Catholic Church. In reality the involved debate was much more complex than that at every turn. To show this and more, this article takes a close look again at how and why Chinese terms and customs came to figure in Ricci's proselytising work in China, how they were challenged both inside and outside the Jesuit China mission, how the Chinese reacted and why, and what the debate revealed about the intriguing contrast of Chinese and European theism.     

方志所见宋代记文补遗

方志为一地史事之渊薮,其中所载宋代学记为研究宋代官学、书院等教育组织的重要文献,不过因其分散保存在不同方志中,使用起来十分不便。曾枣庄、刘琳主编的《全宋文》收录了宋代绝大部分的记文,对宋代研究颇有助益,然此浩大工程难免挂一漏万。如《长洲县学记》为迄今所见宋人俞掞唯一存世文章,徐鹿卿《罗必元故宅记》等记文对宋代书院、祠堂、家族研究具有较高的参考价值,《全宋文》皆失收,今据相关方志对此9篇文章进行补遗,以期为宋代相关文献研究提供新的史料。     

Capturing gains by relocating global production networks: the rise of Chongqing’s notebook computer industry, 2008–2014

In 2008 a new notebook manufacturing cluster was established in Chongqing in western China. By 2013 it accounted for some 25% of world output by volume. Chongqing’s ability to attract this manufacturing supply chain was driven by several factors that permitted strategic coupling: the existence of complex networks of cooperation and economies external to the firm but internal to contemporary global production networks; changed conditions in southeast and east China; and the creation by Chongqing Municipal People’s Government with central state support of hard and soft infrastructures and externalities that drove down logistic and production costs and permitted constant product innovation.

经济行为与环境变化:清前期台湾野生鹿消失探析

鹿曾经是台湾数量最庞大的野生动物群之一。明末以来,随着台湾贸易交流的活跃,鹿成为大宗出口商品,土著居民由原先捕鹿作为民生用品逐渐发展至为市场服务;清前期大陆移民入台的农业垦殖又破坏了鹿原有的生态环境。人类经济行为引发的环境变化,最终导致了野生鹿在台湾渐趋消失。

契丹大字《耶律褀墓志铭》考释

一、序说1993年7月,内蒙古文物考古研究所在阿鲁科尔沁旗的罕苏木苏木的朝克图山之阳发掘耶律羽之家族墓时,在耶律羽之家族墓之东2公里处发现了另一处辽代墓群,当即抽调人员前往清理其中的一座墓葬,编号为1号墓。经过清理,发现1号墓虽早期被盗,但仍出土汉字和契丹大字墓志铭和20多件宋代景德镇窑烧制的影青瓷盘和瓷碗。一些瓷盘底部“书写契丹大字墨书题款,共约百余字”①。由于该墓早期被盗,汉字墓志铭仅出土极少量的残片。残片处于墓志铭题目部分,对于辨明墓主人身份极有帮助。为了叙述方便,我们把这些残片编号。1号残片只有“勤力”两个…     

兴隆沟遗址第一地点发掘回顾与思考

在中国东北地区新石器时代考古学文化研究中,内蒙古东南部地区占有十分突出的地位。1930年我国著名学者梁思永先生曾到赤峰英金河畔和林西一带开展考古调查工作①,揭开了内蒙古东南部地区新石器时代考古的序幕。建国以后,中国社会科学院考古研究所在内蒙古地区的田野考古工作重心始终放在赤峰地区,正式提出了小河西文化、兴隆洼文化、赵宝沟文化、富河文化的命名,目前已初步建立了该地区新石器时代考古学年代框架和谱系关系。兴隆洼文化的发现和确认是该地区新石器时代考古研究中的重要收获之一,不仅为赵宝沟文化和红山文化找到了土著源头,…
