Web content mining for comparing corporate and third‐party online reporting: a case study on solid waste management

This study investigates the coverage of solid waste management on 1142 websites maintained by companies, news media and non‐governmental organizations to validate an automated approach to content and language analysis. First, a frequency analysis of waste management terms sheds light on the breadth and depth of their environmental discourses, revealing that corporate and media attention to waste management is small compared with that of non‐governmental organizations. Second, an investigation of their attitudes toward waste management suggests that companies avoid negative information in environmental communication, unlike news media or non‐governmental organizations. Ultimately, an automated tool for ontology building is employed to gain insights into companies' shared understanding of waste management. The ontology obtained indicates that companies conceptualize waste management as a business process rather than framing it from an ecological perspective, which is in line with findings from previous research.

Wither Qualitative/Quantitative?: Grounds for Methodological Convergence

The qualitative quantitative issue has been given attention in sociological scholarship for decades. Upon theoretical examination of the basis of separations, the commonly used criteria of subjectivity versus objectivity, systematization, quantification and generalization, do not separate. This suggests that the impetus for the qualitative/quantitative issue is more political than intellectual owing to several factors in the practice of sociology: diverse intellectual heritages, the domination of quantitative sociologists in teaching methods and writing methods text books, the proliferation of computer technology in the past 20 years, and separation of theory and method. Advancing sociological methods means transcending the quantitative/qualitative issue and moving on to consider issues like science, validity, causality and multiverse.     

Can Findings of Qualitative Research in Education be Generalized?

Most qualitative researchers do not recommend generalization from qualitative studies, as this research is not based on random samples and statistical controls. The objective of this study is to explore the degree to which in-service teachers understand the controversial aspects of generalization in both qualitative and quantitative educational research and as to how this can facilitate problems faced by the teachers in the classroom. The study is based on 83 participants who had registered for a 10-week course on ‘Methodology of Investigation in Education’ as part of their Master’s degree program. The course is based on 11 readings drawing on a philosophy of science perspective (positivism, constructivism, Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos). Course activities included written reports, class room discussions based on participants’ presentations, and written exams. Based on the results obtained it is concluded: (1) almost 91% of the teachers agreed that external generalization in a different social context is feasible; (2) almost 63% of the participants used a fairly inconsistent approach, that is in a theoretical context agreed that qualitative research cannot be generalized and still when asked with respect to the experience of two particular teachers, agreed that generalization was possible; (3) almost 28% of the participants used a consistent approach. Some of the reasons provided by the participants as to why generalization was feasible are discussed. An analogy is drawn with respect to Piaget’s methodology, viz., it was not based on random samples or statistical treatments and still his oeuvre has been generalized (criticisms not withstanding) in both the psychology and educational literature.     

论组织文化测量方法的选择

在我国,对于组织文化研究一直存在着表面化、肤浅化的现象,其中一个很重要的原因是忽视研究方法的探讨和选择.随着对组织文化理论的深入研究,相关的测量方法选择必然成为了一个基础性的重要问题.基于此,本文对组织文化研究中的测量方法进行了系统阐述.文章分析了组织文化的内涵,重点探讨了测量组织文化的质化方法、量化方法的具体内容及不同研究方法的优缺点,并对研究中两种方法的融合进行了分析,探讨了测量方法选择中需关注的一个重要问题:测量中使用的核心概念.     

三种禽用疫苗外源病原多重荧光PCR检测方法建立

根据GenBank中收录的鸡毒支原体、禽白血病病毒和网状内皮细胞增生症病毒的基因序列,分别设计并合成了引物和相应的荧光探针,通过对反应条件和反应程序的优化,建立了一种可以同时检测3种禽用疫苗外源性病原污染因子的三重荧光PCR检测方法。结果显示,建立的三重荧光PCR灵敏度高,最低可检测到10 copies/μL的质粒,并具有良好的特异性,可用于禽用疫苗外源性污染因子的快速检测,也可用于相关疫病的诊断。

A Conceptual Framework for Quantitative Text Analysis

Quantitative text analysis refers tothe application of one or more methods for drawingstatistical inferences from text populations. Afterbriefly distinguishing quantitative text analysisfrom linguistics, computational linguistics, andqualitative text analysis, issues raised during the1955 Allerton House Conference are used as a vehiclefor characterizing classical text analysis as aninstrumental-thematic method. Quantitative textanalysis methods are then depicted according to a2 × 3 conceptual framework in which texts areinterpreted either instrumentally (according to theresearcher's conceptual framework) orrepresentationally (according to the texts' sources'perspectives), as well as in which variables arethematic (counts of word/phrase occurrences),semantic (themes within a semantic grammar), ornetwork-related (theme- or relation-positions withina conceptual network). Common methodological errorsassociated with each method are discussed. Thepaper concludes with a delineation of the universeof substantive answers that quantitative text analysisis able to provide to social science researchers.     

日本应对新冠疫情的经济刺激政策及其制度性扭曲

面对新冠疫情的严重冲击,日本政府通过空前财政支持,日本银行辅以超额基础货币支持等公开市场操作,一定程度上抑制了企业大规模破产、大量工人失业和严重经济衰退,同时也直接带来了日本股市的空前繁荣。但过度财政刺激极大加重了日本政府的国债负担,长期"超量化宽松"的金融政策严重扭曲了市场的资源配置功能,极大削弱了日本市场经济体制的政策应对弹性和抗打压能力,事实上形成了一种变相向国民征税的市场外循环体系和制度性扭曲。     

服务产品多营销渠道下顾客渠道选择的量化分析

在全球服务经济迅速发展的背景下,以数字化为基础、互联网为纽带的新经济革命的到来,为服务产品如酒店客房的销售从传统的单一店面销售模式走向多营销渠道销售模式提供了强有力支持。本文首先对新技术环境下酒店客房销售模式进行了介绍,主要有实体门店销售、实体店官网销售、实体旅行社及在线旅行社四种模式,并针对不同年龄段顾客就这四种销售方式的选择趋势采用多属性决策方法进行了排序,且对排序结果作了解释。酒店在进行客房预订销售时,可以根据历史入住顾客年龄段分布情况,适时合理调整酒店的营销战略。
