美国公民跨国领养实践的发展与变化

通过对近年来有关人口数据的分析,论证半个多世纪以来美国公民在跨国领养实践上的发展与变化。这一变化与发展在空间和时间上的特点与二战后一系列重大的国际事件相吻合。国际领养现象背后有政治经济学方面的动因。另一方面,跨国领养所引起的人口迁徙不仅增加了美国族裔多样性的色彩,而且间接地推动了建设多元文化社会的运动及不同族裔间的相互了解。

唐代景教的传教策略及盛衰得失

景教自唐太宗贞观九年（公元635年）传入长安,至唐武宗会昌五年（公元845年）因皇帝灭佛而同遭禁绝,在华传播长达二百多年。可是,景教在被禁之后,立刻就从中原大地上销声匿迹了,直到明代景教碑出土之后,学者们才逐步挖掘出它的传播历史。是什么原因致使景教在中华历史文化中被彻底湮没了将近八百年呢？文章拟从其传教策略上寻找一些答案。     

企业参与电子市场的影响因素研究

电子市场近年来在我国发展迅速,但是中小企业整体采用率还不高,研究企业参与电子市场的影响因素对市场的生存和发展具有重要意义。通过实证研究发现,规范同化与政府促进对企业是否选择进入电子市场有直接影响,而其他因素在中国环境下重要性并未体现。     

蒙汉版蒙古族文学史的编撰研究——以苏尤格主编版和特·赛音巴雅尔主编版

苏尤格主编、1995年出版的蒙文版《蒙古族文学史》(当代)和特·赛音巴雅尔主编、1999年出版的汉文修订版《中国蒙古族当代文学史》是研究蒙古族当代文学的重要著作。两部文学史的编撰取得了巨大的成就,体例严谨,内容丰富,材料充实,批评视角多样,体现了集体的智慧,广泛吸纳了新中国成立以来少数民族文学研究的诸多成果。这两部文学史的编写特征体现出不同编者的撰写风格,反映出学界对蒙古族文学的认识以及蒙古族当代文学的历史发展规律。     

基于TOES模型的SaaS采纳问题研究

目前各种规模的组织逐渐开始应用基于云的软件即服务(SaaS)来支持其业务活动。本文在技术接受模型TAM和技术-组织-环境(TOE)分析框架等理论基础上,构建了一个面向SaaS的技术-组织-环境-服务(TOES)的组织采纳模型。通过采用Logistic等多元回归方法分析数据,研究了影响组织SaaS采纳意愿和行为的因素,发现技术兼容性、环境竞争压力和服务质量显著影响组织的SaaS采纳意愿;而组织高管支持、环境的合作压力、服务质量以及安全性显著影响实际的SaaS采纳行为。     

Review of Relationships Among Variables in TAM

The technology acceptance model （TAM） is an important tool in information technology research. Many scholars have applied the classical TAM to various research domains. However, the relationships between variables in these TAM models are not strongly desired. Thirty-four articles selected from international journals were analyzed to show that most of the relationships in the classical TAM are significant, but the stabilities of these relationships differ. The significant positive relationships between perceived ease of use and its independent variables are more stable than the others. Various factors can strengthen or weaken these relationships.     

The symbiosis between the weaver ant,Oecophylla smaragdina,and Anthene emolus,an obligate myrmecophilous lycaenid butterfly

Females of Anthene emolus use the presence of the weaver ant, Oecophylla smaragdina, as oviposition cue. Ovipositing females are not attacked by the ants. The first instar larvae are adopted by the ants and carried into their pavilions where the caterpillars feed. Outside the pavilions the larvae cannot survive. The older larvae leave the pavilions and are carried by the ants to their feeding places or back into the pavilions. The larvae are constantly attended by the ants. During the 3rd and 4th instar the caterpillars secrete high amounts of nutritive liquids representing an estimated energy content of 200 J per larva. Thus the larvae are important trophobionts of Oe. smaragdina and attract the ants by releasing food recruitment behaviour. The pupae are not attractive for ants, but are not attacked, either. The emerging adults are not protected from ant attacks and are sometimes killed by their host ants. The costs and benefits of this close obligate myrmecophilous relationship for both the ants and lycaenids as well as the evolution of ant-specific relationships of the lycaenids are discussed.     

Review of IT/IS Adoption and Decision-Making Behavior in Small Businesses

The increased use of information technologies has led to more research on information technology/information system (IT/IS) adoption and decision-making behavior in small businesses to improve information utilization. This paper presents an extensive review of the literature on IT/IS adoption to identify the key factors affecting small businesses based on comparison analysis. The review identifies the current interest in the adoption of Internet based IT and points out that the factors affecting different stages of the business lifecycle and research variables should be selected in terms of the different technology types. Especially, the review emphasizes the characteristics of external openings on the network in the research on e-commerce adoption. Future studies should focus on IT/IS adoption and implementation in small and medium-sized businesses during the development of small and medium-sized industrial clusters and specialty towns.
