Abstract:
Due to man-s bounded rationality, the increasing uncertainties from the volatility of the environment and the rapid development of science and technology, various emergencies that break out in this turbulent world are beyond human ability to foresee and handle. The article presents the concept of Non-Conventional Emergency Events , and gives a deeper analysis of the true features and the constraint characteristics of Non-Conventional Emergency Events which are originally characterized with uncertainties in time, information, status, programs, procedures and consequences. When non-conventional emergencies break out, with the variability of the environment, complexity of the process, scarcity of resources and organizational rigidity, along with other problems such as decision-making in urgent conditions and non-procedural solution making, the only way to respond effectively is to come up with contingency strategies in special situations rapidly and react simultaneously and appropriately.

Abstract:
Based on the previous emergency management theories and the specialty of the education system in China, a management system of collegial mass emergency is built, and is divided into five subsystems: the monitoring and early warning subsystem, the control subsystem, the college students’ response subsystem, the contingency planning subsystem and the resource protection subsystem. The run processes and functions of each subsystem are analyzed in detail. The emergency management system of collegial mass emergency is a special computer integrated system. There is process monitoring of event developments, real-time response and subsequent decision-making program. The emergency management is a complex integrated intelligent decision support system.
Abstract:
With the continuous development of the manned space technology and the whole international society, especially in China, relevant manned space legal problems are increasingly prominent. China-s manned space career started earlier, rapid development, now has become the world third successful mastery of outer space to make space activities technology country. However, China-s space legislation lag behind the development of space technology, manned space more of its success brings lots of impact.

Abstract:
With the development of modern science and technology, especially space technology, present situation of security cooperation has been becoming more and more dangerous in outer space. It is shown that the threat of individual countries to seek absolute advantage and absolute hegemony in outer space be further intensified, the tendency of weaponization and arms race be more obvious,effect of self-destruction of space debris be more serious and man-made pollution be worsen in outer space environment. The main reasons that lead to sluggish of space security cooperation include as the following, imbalance of the distribution structure of powers in space security cooperation, insufficient of coercive force to restraint space weaponization and arms race, weakness in the basis of common interests of governance on space debris, lack common awareness of security of space environment. Therefore, to advance space security cooperation, we should look for a solution to security cooperation through coordination of international security interaction, severely restraint space weaponization and arms race, promote the formulation of the rules for space and enhance security cooperation of space environment through initiative of new security concept.

Abstract:
As the construction of a government ruled by law has become a paradigm of modern governments, it is of intellectual necessity to analyze the legal bases of Theory on Government Ruled by Law in the perspective of thought history. In Second Treatise of Government, Locke demonstrated the transformation from natural state to civil government and related property theory, and expounded systematically limited government theory on the base of foregoing theories, thus provided practical and realistic theoretical bases for modern liberal states and governments ruled by law, which played a far-reaching influence on modern Theory of Government Ruled by Law.
Abstract:
Constitutional change is to make up for the gap between social fact and constitutional norm, which is different from constitutional amending, constitutional interpretation and violation of the constitution. So, constitutional change is a kind external fact with legal validity. Constitutional change must be evaluated by the value inherent in the law. This will bring a limit of constitutional change. Constitutional change can not violate constitutional value and become unconstitutional. At the same time, constitutional change must lie in the interpretational space of constitutional text. Otherwise, we should amend the constitution to make up for the gap between social fact and constitutional norm.

Abstract:
The Behavioral Equilibrium Exchange Rate approach is one of the most influential approaches to estimate equilibrium exchange rates. With the help of VEC technique, the author investigates the cointegration relation among RMB real effective exchange rate, the ratio of trade surplus to GDP, real effective terms of trade, total factor productivity and the ratio of foreign direct investment to GDP according to BEER approach. The empirical investigation shows that although RMB real effective exchange rate is undervalued over long time period, with the changing of real fundamentals, the RMB exchange rate now is very close to its equilibrium level.
Abstract:
Emily Bronte, a 19th-century English novelist who is famous for her Wuthering Heights, can also boast of her genuine poetic talents. In her poems, she has absorbed the essence of Romanticism in poetry, while her unique personality and isolated lifestyle have marginalized her writings. In her Gondal poetry, the multi-perspective and polyphonic narration has deconstructed the integrity produced by the traditional narrative techniques, thereby penetrated deep into the nature of existence and a sense of nihilism is thus revealed. The paper is devoted to the discussion and elaboration of the polyphonic narration employed in two narrative sequences in Gondal poetry.

Abstract:
This research investigated the English learning motivations of Ph. D. students. It was found that their instrumental motivatoin level was significantly higher then other types of motivations. The personal characteristics such as gender and age were not significantly related to their English learning motivations, reflecting the convergency in their motivations. The students with higher level of motivations tended to use language learning strategies more frequently. But immediate achievement and learning situation were not significantly related to most language learning strategies. Intrinsic interest was positively related to their English proficiency, while immediate achievement was negatively related to their English proficiency. The pedagogical implications of the findings were discussed.
