By focusing on Internet application initiatives in four places in rural China, this study examines how the Internet is diffused
and used in rural settings and what potential it has in helping rural people improve economic conditions and education. The
results of this study show that the diffusion and usage of the Internet in rural areas are conditioned by the interplay of
structural factors and individual differences. The change agencies have played a dominant role in introducing the Internet
to the rural people. One of the major findings of this study is that Internet adoption and usage tend to be closely associated
with local farming and business activities. The information needs, conditioned by the modes of production, influence farmers’
information seeking behaviours, which in turn affect adoption inclination and intensive usage.

The characteristics of Internet communication enable political, social, and cultural participation from the grassroots not
only because the platforms provided by the Internet are open to all and inherently interactive but also because users are
able to maintain their anonymity. Although, in theory, Internet communication is well-suited to the purposes of non-profit
organization(s) (NPO(s)), in practice, Chinese NPOs do not to take full advantages of the Internet because of their bureaucratic
and elitist approach. However, many Chinese who were once passive observers have been transformed into active participants
as a result of Internet communication. This is significant because a civil society in China can only be achieved by the efforts
of agents, not observers. Internet users have been actively learning the goals of civil society and participating in civil
and political activities on the Internet, while Chinese NPOs rarely use the medium for advocacy.

Raymond Williams’ work on television as a cultural form offers a theoretical basis for overcoming technological determinism
in the study of the Internet. The Internet in China exerts social and political influences through the cultural forms it enables
and then only when these forms respond to the human condition. Chinese Internet culture consists of new cultural forms that
emerge out of the interactions between Internet and society and that are the products of both cultural tradition and innovation.

This paper aims to discuss the increasingly unbalanced structure of public communication in Thailand. To this end, an Internet
survey and an in-depth interviews will be employed to investigate the unprecedented popularity of the Internet with people
who are dissatisfied with the mainstream media (commercial newspapers, radio and television), which do not serve their need
to have their voice heard in public. The study argues that due to (1) the media domination of political and business powers,
(2) the lack of a public channel of communication and (3) the suppression of opposing viewpoints by the government, people
utilise the Internet and the bulletin boards, in particular, as an alternative form of communication to express their concerns
and engage in public affairs. The main argument of this paper is to dispel the notion that the Internet is a medium that is
exclusively the purview of those who are affluent, who are privileged with resources, income or education. The predominant
belief in Thailand today is that the Internet is there to serve the privileged and that this could lead to even more elitist
control and censorship. Conversely, this investigation reveals that people as users can in fact make a difference; that is,
to a large extent, they are capable of influencing the medium to be more supportive of them and their environment. As the
Internet is capable of being a venue of popular usage, this paper argues that it is crucial to support this new medium’s penetration
of a wider public. The problem of a digital divide needs to be addressed; large sections of population, especially those who
lack either financial resources or technical skills, must be included in this Information and Communication Technologies development.

Zusammenfassung Die Außendarstellung im Internet ist wichtig und in der Zukunft unverzichtbar. Jedoch hat die Liberalisierung des Werberechts der freien Berufe keineswegs zur absoluten Schrankenlosigkeit geführt. Vielmehr sind die zu beachtenden Regeln auf verschiedene Gesetze und Rechtsgebiete verstreut, so dass ohne fachkundige Hilfe—etwa durch die Kammern oder durch juristische Beratung—die Selbstdarstellung im Internet schnell zu einem bösen Erwachen führen kann.

In this introduction we discuss the motivation behind the workshop “Towards a New Epistemology of Mathematics” of which this
special issue constitutes the proceedings. We elaborate on historical and empirical aspects of the desired new epistemology,
connect it to the public image of mathematics, and give a summary and an introduction to the contributions to this issue.

Relatively little is known about the factor structure of disruptive behavior among preadolescent girls. The present study
reports on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of disruptive girl behavior over four successive data waves as rated
by parents and teachers in a large, representative community sample of girls (N = 2,451). Five factors were identified from parent ratings (oppositional behavior/conduct problems, inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity,
relational aggression, and callous-unemotional behaviors), and four factors were identified derived from teacher ratings (oppositional
behavior/conduct problems/callous-unemotional behaviors, inattention, hyperactivityimpulsivity, and relational aggression).
There was a high degree of consistency of items loading on equivalent factors across parent and teacher ratings. Year-to-year
stability of factors between ages five and 12 was high for parent ratings (ICC = 0.70 to 0.88), and slightly lower for teacher
ratings (ICC = 0.56 to 0.83). These findings are discussed in terms of possible adjustment to the criteria for children's
disruptive behavior disorders found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders.

In this article the author discusses the differences between pastoral care and psycho-social therapy. She clarifies the specific identity of pastoral care on the basis of Henning Luther’s theology. He distinguishes different anthropological presuppositions in pastoral care and psycho-social therapy. Consequently, she demonstrates the relevancy of Luther’s theology for today’s Practical Theology.

The paper is intended to focus on peculiarities of nanomedicine and the importance of social concerns implicated, in order
to understand if existing regulations are appropriate to maintain its safety or if a new ad hoc regulatory framework is needed. Consideration of social challenges will underline the crucial role of medical ethics in regulatory
discussion.

The paper is a report on the study of Internet use and migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta (PRD). First, the paper illustrates
that educational attainment is a significant factor in determining the type of Internet use that appeals to migrant workers.
Second, it points out that both work-oriented and entertainment-oriented uses of the Internet have a positive influence on
migrant workers’ jobs and social lives in the PRD. Access to work-related information improves their employment opportunities,
while the various means of entertainment provide relaxation. The online chat and the virtual community provide migrant workers
with emotional support and a strong sense of their local identity. The Internet café and online games allow migrant workers
to relieve the pressures of work and passively challenge the power hierarchy in the modern factory regime. The paper concludes
that the Internet use has become the integral part of the city lives of migrant workers in the PRD.

In this paper we discuss visualizations in mathematics from a historical and didactical perspective. We consider historical
debates from the 17th and 19th centuries regarding the role of intuition and visualizations in mathematics. We also consider
the problem of what a visualization in mathematical learning can achieve. In an empirical study we investigate what mathematical
conclusions university students made on the basis of a visualization. We emphasize that a visualization in mathematics should
always be considered in its proper context.

In this paper, we analyze the data collected through in-depth interviews of migrant workers in Southern China about their
mobile cultures. In particular, we focus on understanding the role that mobile cultures play in female workers’ negotiation
of their social and romantic relations and leisure space and how these negotiations are directly or indirectly facilitated
by development of informal literacies through their frequent short message service communicative practices. These will help
us understand the lifestyle aspirations and life trajectories of the new young working women in China who are experiencing
the most rapid socioeconomic changes in society and negotiating their ways of life amidst much tension between old and new
values governing lifestyle aspirations, familial, and gender relations.

This article tells the story of the journey made by an international research group of social psychologists in their collaborative
projects carried out over a number of years after the collapse of communism in Europe in 1989. The article explores some relations
between the aims of research conducted during a period of rapid political, social and economic change in Central and Eastern
Europe, and the ways these studies were shaped and transformed through collaboration. It shows how the collaboration of researchers
in the team affected the development of theoretical concepts and methodological ideas over the years, as well as how the team
learned from mistakes. Collaborative efforts cannot be viewed separately from the content of research. Moreover, this international
collaborative research has shown that the relationships between institutional and cultural changes cannot be understood by
means of comparing phenomena across different countries but by case studies in individual countries.

My claim is clear and unambiguous: no machine will pass a well-designed Turing Test unless we find some means of embedding
it in lived social life. We have no idea how to do this but my argument, and all our evidence, suggests that it will not be
a necessary condition that the machine have more than a minimal body. Exactly how minimal is still being worked out.

Graduate employment status and health: a longitudinal analysis of the transition from student 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The prevalence of unemployment and underemployment was explored longitudinally in 248 recent graduates (73 males and 175 females)
over an 18–24 month transition from final year student to 9–12 months post-graduation. Over this period changes in levels
of psychological distress, health behaviours, social support, optimism and achievement motivation were measured. Results show
that both unemployment and underemployment have deleterious effects on psychological and physical health, social support,
optimism and achievement motivation.
