数字水印技术在古典家具数字博物馆版权保护中的研究

近年来,古典家具越来越受到人们的青睐。但是目前还未见有关针对古典文物家具数字博物馆的相关研究报道。本文首先介绍了数字博物馆的特点以及所构建的明清古典文物家具数字博物馆,然后运用基于混沌理论的Logistic映射置乱方法对水印图像进行加密,以及变换域算法中基于DCT域的数字水印方法对数字博物馆的数字图像进行了版权保护,并利用Matlab软件进行水印图像的嵌入、提取和检测实验,取得了较好的效果,说明数字水印技术在文物家具图像版权保护方面具有很好的作用。     

Cultural Ergonomics in Ghana,West Africa: A Descriptive Survey of Industry and Trade Workers’ Interpretations of Safety Symbols

Globalization and technology transfer have led to the diffusion of risk communications to users from cultures that were not initially viewed as the target users. This study examined industry and trade workers’ overall impressions of symbols used to convey varying degrees of hazardousness. Six symbols, including symbols from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z535 Standard (ANSI, 1998) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 3864:1984 Standard (ISO, 1984) were selected. With the exception of the SKULL symbol, results showed wide discrepancies between users’ perceptions of the symbols and their intended meanings. Implications for cross-cultural research on warning components and risk communications are discussed.     

酒驾行为心理影响因素分析

为更有效地预防和治理酒驾行为,探究驾驶员心理因素对酒驾行为的影响,分析327份问卷调查数据;在计划行为理论(TPB)中新增地域文化规范和道德规范2个解释变量,构建基于扩展计划行为理论(Ex-TPB)的酒驾行为结构方程模型(SEM);分析驾驶员酒驾行为与心理因素的关系。结果表明:Ex-TPB对酒驾行为有较好的解释和预测性能;行为意向对酒驾行为的影响较大;行为意向的影响因素中,行为态度对行为意向的影响最大,知觉行为控制其次,同时,地域文化规范和道德规范对行为意向的影响程度接近主观规范。     

Well-being for all? The social distribution of benefits gained from woodlands and forests in Britain

Well-being is a positive physical, mental and social state and has increasingly become an area of interest to researchers and policy-makers internationally. This paper presents results from research that analyses the well-being benefits gained by different sections of society through viewing, engaging with, and accessing woodlands and forests in Britain. We draw on 31 studies undertaken since 2001 and present a meta-analysis of quantitative data and a meta-synthesis of qualitative data to explore the range of benefits and associated activities in woodlands, and their social distribution. We also present a state-of-the-art typology of well-being benefits for woodlands in Britain. The findings illustrate the wide range of well-being benefits gained by different social groups through various forms of engagement with and activities undertaken in woodlands. We illustrate the wide range of meanings and values attached to trees and woodlands across different social groups. The evidence also illustrates how carefully designed and targeted interventions can be particularly effective in enabling and encouraging people to visit woodland sites, to participate or get involved in new activities and, therefore, to realise a range of well-being benefits.     

Affected Ignorance And Animal Suffering: Why Our Failure To Debate Factory Farming Puts Us At Moral Risk

It is widely recognized that our social and moral environments influence our actions and belief formations. We are never fully immune to the effects of cultural membership. What is not clear, however, is whether these influences excuse average moral agents who fail to scrutinize conventional norms. In this paper, I argue that the lack of extensive public debate about factory farming and, its corollary, extreme animal suffering, is probably due, in part, to affected ignorance. Although a complex phenomenon because of its many manifestations, affected ignorance is morally culpable because it involves a choice not to investigate whether some practice in which one participates in might be immoral. I contend further that James Montmarquet’s set of intellectual virtues can provide a positive account of what it means to act as a responsible moral agent while immersed in a meat eating culture; they also represent the moral and epistemic framework for the kind of public discourse that should be taking place.

妈祖文化内涵及其在亚太合作发展中的重要功能

妈祖文化作为亚太地区人口众多的华裔文脉之源,对促进亚太民族间的文化交流与文化交融合作具有广泛影响力。虽然亚太各国的社会制度和经济发展存在一定的差异,但妈祖文化有望成为维系亚太地区的精神纽带,促进亚太合作发展。基于文化地理学的层次深入分析妈祖的精神文化内涵、制度文化内涵、物质文化内涵,提出了妈祖文化内涵的再认识。结合亚太合作发展现状,提出以推动亚太合作发展为最终目标,阐述妈祖文化是亚太合作发展的感情交融的纽带、转型促商的催化剂、和谐的基石和诚信的保障。     

上海文化产业及贸易发展影响因素的灰色关联度分析

在经济全球化浪潮的推动下,文化影响力日益加大,文化产业成为各国竞相争抢的战略高地。文化贸易作为一种新的贸易形态实现了迅猛增长,而国与国竞争的焦点在于主要节点城市实力的较量。采用灰色关联方法,从经济发展、产业规模、市场需求和科研创新四个方面选取14个指标,对上海文化产业及贸易发展的影响因素进行了实证分析。结果表明,城乡居民家庭人均可支配收入等因素对上海文化产业发展有着重要的关联影响,而人均生产总值和互联网用户普及率等因素对上海文化贸易有着重要的影响,但科技成果与文化产业及贸易的关联度均较小,尤其是外贸依存度的关联影响不显著。
