(Sick) Love and the Older Woman in Marcel Prévost's L’Automne d’une femme

Marcel Prévost, a prolific novelist, journalist, and academician, is best known for works such as Les Demi-Vierges (1894), which demonstrates how Parisian society and education corrupt young women, and Les Vierges fortes (1900), which, according to Louise Lyle, “develop[s] the concept of the secular, self-perpetuating community of female educators only to explode it as an empty ideal” (60). In his 1893 novel, L’Automne d’une femme, Prévost focuses not on virgins but on the older woman, telling the story of forty-year-old Julie, who has languished for over twenty years in an arranged marriage to Antoine Surgère. Despite having the natural ability to ease the suffering of others, Julie shows no interest in nursing her husband when he falls ill, though she eagerly cares for the daughter of one of his colleagues, Claire Esquier, and the son of another associate, Maurice Artoy, who is all too eager to reciprocate when Julie's feelings for him become something more than maternal. Unbeknownst to Julie, however, Maurice and Claire once dabbled in a youthful romance that neither forgot. The glue that holds this tangled web of relationships together is illness, a theme so pervasive that the verb souffrir and its derivatives are employed no fewer than 137 times, along with myriad other terms related to pain. Prévost's creation of a veritable culture of illness in which love cannot possibly flourish for the woman in her “autumn” might be said, in fact, to feed into the Decadent vision of woman as dangerous and corrupting.     

多尺度下中国人口老龄化风险集群的时空格局——Flexible空间扫描计量方法的应用

运用Flexible空间扫描计量方法,对比分析了省、市和县域尺度上的老龄化风险集群的时空格局。发现：老龄化成为全国人口结构转型的主旋律,少子化成为新常态,老龄化区域非均衡加剧,并存多种区域模式;三种尺度识别出的风险集群都集中分布于东南半壁;集群的风险程度与地域范围随时间不断扩大,但集群间的风险差异趋于缩小。总体而言,尺度越小,识别出的集群分布越分散,定位越精确,风险越高,差异越大。针对不同地区的人口-经济发展情况,提出保障生育,发展养老产业,基本公共服务均等化,就地、近城镇化等的老龄化风险应对策略。     

国外老年旅游研究进展与理论体系——兼论人文主义地理学研究老年旅游的思路框架

老年旅游的发展是全球人口结构老龄化的现象之一,成为了旅游学、老年学等多学科交叉研究的一个重要领域.国外已经形成了一个较为完善的研究体系,国内对老年旅游的关注日益提高,但尚处于现象描述等初期阶段,各学科关注度和研究深度较一般.本文以人文地理学科为背景,收集、整理并仔细分析了国外老年旅游研究的主要文献,系统性的地总结了国外...     

髹漆丝织品光老化性能的测试分析

髹漆丝织品光老化性能的测试分析,旨在了解其抗光老化的能力,为出土髹漆丝织品的保存和展示提供科学的依据。本工作以精制纯漆和桐油漆料分别髹涂的丝织物及未经髹涂的丝织品为试样,进行加速光老化处理。对试样的测试表明,两种髹漆试样经光照后强伸性下降轻缓,相同时段的降幅远低于丝织品,桐油漆试样降幅最小。两种漆膜在光老化中均有轻微的空洞和裂纹,纯漆膜损伤稍大。光老化过程中,漆膜对丝纤维的保护作用较好,漆丝的结晶度未有明显下降,而未髹漆丝纤维的结晶度下降显著。本研究的结果可以为出土髹漆丝织品的保存和展示提供科学的依据     

湿热加速老化法降低古籍修复用纸伸缩性的研究

纸张在浸湿和干燥过程中的伸缩性是影响古籍修复用纸使用性能的重要指标。为了改善新制修复用纸的伸缩率,实验采用湿热加速老化法处理6种修复用纸样品,测定和分析老化过程对纸样伸缩性的影响。结果表明湿热老化可以显著降低纸样的伸缩性,尤其是能明显降低修复用纸的横向伸缩率和干缩率,短时间的湿热老化就能将新制修复用纸的伸缩率降至接近老纸的水平。     

The dejuvenation of the Italian population

Abstract

In recent decades, a process of structural reduction of the weight of new generations in overall population (dejuvenation) has been observed. In Italy, this process started in the 1970s and accelerated in the 1990s. We present here its main consequences for Italian society and economy. The number of Italian young people (aged 0–29) was reduced from 24.5 million in 1951 (51.6% of the population) to 17.5 million in 2016 (28.8%). What is more, many young Italians are becoming a wasted resource and a social cost, facing high rates of unemployment, long economic dependence on the family of origin, renunciation of full achievement of their life plans, distrust of institutions, low social and political participation, and increasing emigration flow. We analyze, using multivariate models, the data of the Rapporto Giovani survey held by the Toniolo Institute in 2015. Our main finding is that generational disadvantages not only hamper economic growth but, in a familistic context, also exacerbate social inequalities.     

试析上海市人口老龄化与社会养老设施的发展

人口老龄化对社会和经济发展都有着深刻的影响。上海市人口老龄化近年来发展非常迅速,而且具有强度大,向心增值性等特点。由于家庭小型化和中青年的生活压力增大,在充分重视家庭养老的基础上,社会养老设施仍有相当大的发展空间。从目前的情况来看,上海市社会养老设施的发展严重滞后于其老龄化及新的社会形式的发展,存在较大的供需缺口,并存在着地区结构性不平衡。但也出现了一些令人鼓舞的现象,如社会各方力量更多的参与,托老所的兴起和发展等。本文在对上海市社会养老设施发展现状进行分析之后,提出了应当多渠道,多形式地发展养老设施,在地区布局上应当因地制宜,并应当加强老人福利人员的培训。
