Dams and Flows: Immersing in Western Meaning Systems in Search of Ecocultural Reflexivity

In this unprecedented era of anthropogenic ecological destruction, this study illustrates inadequacies in conceptual language available in Western settings to think deeply and holistically about “nature.” At the same time, the study illustrates transformative potential of moments of ecocultural reflexivity. Using free write methodology, we examine ways participants in the United States, New Zealand, and Australia articulate what they mean when they say “nature.” We interpret participant streams of consciousness as representative of a wider Western river-way, a channel of dominant, multiple, and contradictory meanings in continuous movement. We identify conceptual obstructions that provide glimpses into ways Western ecological relations are bounded and dammed by binary, fragmented, and unconsidered meanings. Yet reflexivity in the face of such obstructions, and in potent ecocultural side streams of childhood remembering and ecocentric cosmology, provides some participants a lucid flow of regenerative narratives at a time such shared stories are urgently needed.     

The Effects of Environmental Brand Attributes and Nature Imagery in Green Advertising

Following Hartmann and Apaolaza-Ibáñez’ [(2009). Green advertising revisited. Conditioning virtual nature experiences. International Journal of Advertising, 28(4), 715–739] approach, this experimental study compares the effects of three types of green print ads: a non-green ad, a functional green ad promoting environmental product attributes, and a combined nature ad featuring a pleasant nature image in addition to functional attributes. We extend prior research by simultaneously testing moderating and mediating mechanisms to explain brand attitudes and purchase intention. Using a quota sample of 456 consumers, findings suggest that the functional ad enhances perceptions of environmental brand benefits, which positively affect purchase intention partially mediated by brand attitudes. The combined nature ad, by contrast, activates an additional emotional process of virtually experiencing nature which positively influences brand attitudes and purchase intention beyond perceptions of environmental brand benefits. The effects of the combined nature ad are even stronger for highly involved consumers.     

从对抗走向和谐:论人与自然关系的重构--从生态哲学看和谐社会的建构

人与自然的对抗主要表现为四个方面：人类征服、改造甚至掠夺自然；自然又加倍报复人类；人类与动物争夺生存环境；人类与动物相互伤害。要实现人与自然从对抗走向和谐。必须树立人与自然和谐相处的自然观。改变传统的经济发展观。以及树立科学文明的消费观等等。     

自然保护区价值评判方法

本文以典型性或代表性、稀有性、脆弱性、多样性、面积大小、天然性、感染力、环境和资源保护价值、科学价值、文化价值等为自然保护区价值的评判指标,运用模糊数学理论,初步建立了由单指标评判和多系统-多指标综合评判二级构成的自然保护区价值评判体系。这两级评判结果均能应用于自然保护区的分类、等级的确定之中,对优化我国自然保护区的布局、加强自然保护区建设和管理都具有重要意义。     

论人与自然的失衡

自从人在地球上产生,便有了人与自然的关系,随着全球性的生态危机的出现,使人与自然的关系问题更加突出,人口、资源、环境和发展的矛盾日益尖锐,人们对环境问题的认识不断深化。

张八岭构造带两种类型金矿次显微金赋存状态的质子探针分析

金属硫化物中次显微金的赋存状态已引起人们的重视。张八岭构造带蚀变构造岩型和石英脉型两类金矿金属硫化物中次显微金质子探针分析显示 ,Au与As、Fe、S、Cu、Pb呈正相关关系 ,Au以显微包裹体形式存在于金属硫化物中。与蚀变构造岩型金矿相比 ,晚期的石英脉型金矿可见自然金含量较高 ,硫化物中显微包裹体金含量较低 ,可能预示中低温热液金矿中 ,不仅普遍存在时空分异的金属硫化物中的类质同象金和自然金 ,还可能存在一定程度的时空分异的自然金和次显微包裹体金。     

天然海水中碳钢缓蚀剂吸附和阳极脱附行为的研究

以锌盐、葡萄糖酸盐为主要缓蚀成分复配的适用于天然海水中碳钢的高效缓蚀剂,采用极化曲线、循环伏安曲线和交流阻抗谱图分析了该缓蚀剂的阳极脱附行为.结果表明,碳钢在海水中的零电荷电位约为-0.6 V;缓蚀剂的吸附电位区间为-0.5～-0.8 V,缓蚀剂在该区间内存在特性吸附.当阳极极化电位超过-0.45 V时,极化电流迅速增大,缓蚀剂因发生大量脱附而失去对阳极过程的控制.     

我国自然保护区有效管理评价指标研究
