制度安排与区域经济绩效:比较独立后马来西亚和印尼经济绩效差异的制度原因

诺思教授认为制度是一个国家经济增长的源泉。他将新制度经济学的理论工具引入新经济史的分析当中,构建了制度变迁理论,从产权理论、国家理论和意识形态理论三个方面去分析国家和区域经济绩效之间的差异。本文将主要基于诺思的制度变迁理论,并结合新制度经济学的其他相关理论,来分析马来西亚和印尼经济绩效差异的制度原因。     

经济地理学视角下创新网络研究进展

借助Citespace软件，回顾相关文献，系统梳理了经济地理学领域创新网络的研究脉络、研究内容，明晰研究不足与研究方向。创新网络研究重点与研究方向：①网络空间尺度方面，已有研究关注集群内与集群间网络、城市内与城市间网络（城市群网络）、跨国公司全球网络配置等问题；未来研究应从单一尺度向多尺度网络耦合研究转变，从单一网络向多重网络融合研究转变。②网络演化及其驱动因素方面，节点演变、多维邻近性对网络演化的影响成为研究重点，未来应重视对产业和技术网络轨迹演变的研究。③网络结构及其对创新的影响方面，已有研究关注节点网络结构如何影响个体创新行为与创新结果，未来应深化整体网络结构和连接原因，以及网络组成对整体网络演化影响的研究。未来应加强对中国欠发达地区、中国后发跨国公司创新网络的实证研究，强化计量方法的应用，例如块模型、社区发现等方法。     

The devil in disguise: action repertoire,visual performance and collective identity of the Autonomous Nationalists

Adopting protest tactics and visual performance of the far left, many neo‐Nazis in Europe, particularly in Germany, have developed a new style. Referencing their political opponents, the far‐left Autonomous Movement, they call themselves the Autonomous Nationalists. Though this new style caused intense conflicts in the beginning, Autonomous Nationalists have gained strong influence in the neo‐Nazi movement. What drives neo‐Nazis to adopt tactics such as ‘black blocs’ and certain symbols and dress of their political enemies? Based on movement's documents, semi‐structured interviews and observing demonstrations, this article uses empirical data to identify central dimensions of the Autonomous Nationalist's action repertoire and visual performance and their impact on the neo‐Nazi movement's collective identity. The analysis of external and internal effects reveals that the shift in public appearance strengthened the movement's mobilization potential, but otherwise decreased ideological internalisation and may increase the turnover of activists.     

A new apparatus for measuring elastic wave velocity and electrical conductivity of fluid‐saturated rocks at various confining and pore‐fluid pressures

Pore‐fluid pressure is a critical parameter that governs geodynamic processes including seismic activities. Its evaluation through geophysical observations provides us insights into these processes. The quantitative evaluation requires a thorough understanding of the influence of pore‐fluid pressure on geophysical parameters, such as seismic velocity and electrical conductivity. To study the influence of pore‐fluid pressure on these parameters, we have built a new apparatus with a pore‐fluid pressure control system, which is capable of simultaneously measuring elastic wave velocity and electrical conductivity. Our new apparatus employs two sets of plastic piston–cylinders for the electrical insulation and pore‐fluid pressure transmission. The pore fluid is electrically isolated from the metal work, and its pressure can be precisely controlled without significant contribution of the friction between the piston and cylinder. Our new apparatus was used for a simultaneous measurement of velocity and conductivity in a brine‐saturated Berea sandstone. Elastic wave velocity and electrical conductivity changed in response to the change in confining and pore‐fluid pressures, showing the usefulness of the new apparatus.     

The Potential Performance of Ancient Mediterranean Sailing Rigs

A common statement in the academic literature relating to the ancient Mediterranean is that the lateen/settee rig superseded the Mediterranean square‐sail because it provided superior upwind performance, greater manoeuvrability and higher overall speed. This statement has been repeated so often that it is now commonly accepted. Research by the author sets out to develop an insight into the relative performance of both types of rig, based on historical sources, ethnographic records and the performance of representative, full‐size sailing vessels. This allows a reassessment to be made of the underlying reasons behind the adoption of the lateen/settee rig in the Mediterranean. © 2010 The Author

从区的视角对"撤市设区"的绩效研究——以广州市番禺区为例

在5年的时间里,番禺经历了“撤市设区”和被拆分为番禺区和南沙区两次大的政区调整。在如此大力度和频繁的行政区划调整中有许多问题值得思考。无论从广州市还是从番禺区的视角来看,“撤市设区”总体上都是成功的。但是受政府职能转变和管理体制改革滞后的影响,“撤市设区”只能作为整合区域资源的途径之一,其作用是有限的。从番禺区视角来看,创新管理体制、转变思维尺度,重视区域差异、对撤市设立的区实行以人为本的管理模式,在优化产业结构中关注失地农民就业问题,进一步完善土地使用制度,有序、有度地推进农村城市化和提高农村城市化质量是提高行政区划调整绩效的重要途径。     

Sousveilling the ‘Global War on Terror’

This article theorises what it means to challenge official regimes of surveillance in the War on Terror by further developing the notion of ‘sousveillance’. In particular, we focus on the performative dimension of surveillance by attending to its sites of struggle, particularly where alternative and counter-performances work to disrupt and dislodge official regimes of vision. These potent counter-performances have become important flashpoints for discussion in the ongoing negotiation of security state power since the onset of the War on Terror. The article begins by considering what it means to call surveillance ‘performative’ and how such official performances have had a documented chilling effect on free expression and democratic deliberation. It continues by exploring Steve Mann’s notion of ‘sousveillance’, or the view from below, as a theoretical resource for understanding counter-visual performances that otherwise challenge authoritarian surveillant practices. Finally, the article illustrates these dynamics through a number of sousveillant performances that have provoked new deliberative spaces in the context of the War on Terror.     

Mourning the Un-mournable? Political Theology Between Refugees and Religion

Since the arrival, or the attempted arrival, of millions of refugees in Europe, the performances of the Center for Political Beauty – a Berlin-based collective of artists and activists – have had a huge impact on public and political debates about Germany's migration policies. In this paper, I analyze the performance “The Dead Are Coming” in which the artists buried refugees who drowned in their attempt to enter the European Union. Drawing on Judith Butler's political philosophy of performativity, I assess “The Dead Are Coming” as a “doing” rather than a “describing” of dignity. I argue that the integration of God into the practices of mourning enables both the activists and the audience to resist the differential distribution of dignity in Europe's migration policy. Ultimately, I advocate a re-thinking of political theology in which art learns from theology and theology learns from art in order to promote dignity under de-dignifying conditions.     

Methods and Approaches for Blind Test Predictions of Out-of-Plane Behavior of Masonry Walls: A Numerical Comparative Study

ABSTRACT

Earthquakes cause severe damage to masonry structures due to inertial forces acting in the normal direction to the plane of the walls. The out-of-plane behavior of masonry walls is complex and depends on several parameters, such as material and geometric properties of walls, connections between structural elements, the characteristics of the input motions, among others. Different analytical methods and advanced numerical modeling are usually used for evaluating the out-of-plane behavior of masonry structures. Furthermore, different types of structural analysis can be adopted for this complex behavior, such as limit analysis, pushover, or nonlinear dynamic analysis.

Aiming to evaluate the capabilities of different approaches to similar problems, blind predictions were made using different approaches. For this purpose, two idealized structures were tested on a shaking table and several experts on masonry structures were invited to present blind predictions on the response of the structures, aiming at evaluating the available tools for the out-of-plane assessment of masonry structures. This article presents the results of the blind test predictions and the comparison with the experimental results, namely in terms of formed collapsed mechanisms and control outputs (PGA or maximum displacements), taking into account the selected tools to perform the analysis.
