The Role of the Government in Addressing Social Issues in India: The Perceptions of Indian Undergraduate and Graduate Social Work Students

Using a convenience sample of 318 undergraduate and graduate social work students (193 women and 125 men) from a public university in India, this study examined the differences between Indian social work students' perceptions toward the role of government in addressing social issues in India. Using Predictive Analytics Software (PASW) 18, several statistical procedures were conducted to analyze the relationship between social work students' demographic variables and their perceptions of the government's role in addressing social issues in India. The results indicated that older social work students were more likely to perceive that the government should ensure equal opportunities for citizens. Female social work students were more likely to perceive that the government should ensure housing for citizens. BSW students were more likely to perceive that the government should ensure employment of citizens. Macro social work students were more likely to perceive that the government should ensure equal opportunities, housing, food, employment, and health insurance for citizens. The findings of this study may help social work educational administrators and faculty in India to develop a curriculum that provides social work students with the opportunity to critically examine the complex relationship between age, gender, marital status, number of children, socioeconomic status, educational status, area of concentration, and the role of the government in addressing social issues. Doing so will prepare social work students and professionals to think and engage in a manner that will allow them to challenge and advocate for a change to the status quo.

试析印度基础教育公私合作伙伴关系的发展趋势

在公立学校未能提供足够的学校教育服务的情形下，为实现全民教育这一国际目标，印度政府采取了公私合作伙伴关系（以下简称PPP）的形式，提高对私营部门的利用率，以期改善基础教育服务供给和资金投入，并随着社会对教育需求的发展，不断推出新的PPP行动计划，这对于PPP办学模式在国际基础教育领域的推广具有重要意义。     

在碎片中破土——从“震惊”看《发达资本主义时代的抒情诗人》

本雅明《发达资本主义时代的抒情诗人》一书充满了形形色色的人与物,但在纷繁复杂的意象中,"震惊"一以贯之,成为探寻问题的一个起点和动因。文章从"震惊"的心理溯源开始来梳理本雅明的美学思想和社会学思想,以期从这一特定角度对本雅明的现代性思想有一个较为明晰的理解。心理层面,人们以牺牲事物的完整性和鲜活性为代价,发展出一套针对"震惊"的戒备机制。美学领域,"震惊"剥夺了传统艺术的"光晕",而波德莱尔的伟大之处正在于把"震惊"引入了抒情诗。"震惊"还引发了新的社会现象,这就是以游荡者为代表的人群,以及以摄影为代表的物象,人的异化不可避免地产生了。

Social Networks Derived from Affiliations and Friendships, Multi-informant and Self-reports: Stability, Concordance, Placement of Aggressive and Unpopular Children, and Centrality

This study compares three variations in how researchers construct middle childhood social networks: (1) with friendships or affiliations as a relational tie; (2) with children providing self reports of relationships, or in addition, multi-informant reports of relationships in which they are not involved; and (3) whether network computation is correlational or distance-based . The sample was 357 fourth- and fifth-grade students in 17 classrooms. The strongest differences were between self-reported friendship and affiliative networks. Results showed that compared with affiliations, friendship networks had smaller groups, more isolates, and lower fall-to-spring stability. Agreement in social placement between friendship and affiliative networks was generally average, but poor for unpopular and aggressive children. Multi-informant affiliative networks were most robust in their positioning of aggressive children. Multi-informant centrality was uniquely uncorrelated with aggression. Network computation differences were not substantial. Discussion focuses on recommendations for research and the educational promise of network technology.     

Predictive factors of acculturation attitudes and social support among Asian immigrants in the USA

This study examines acculturation attitude and its relation to social support among Asian immigrants. The data were collected from 242 Korean, Indian and Filipino immigrants in the USA using the Acculturation Attitude Scale and the Social Support Index. Findings showed that Koreans had a less positive attitude toward acculturation than did Indian and Filipino participants. Acculturation attitude was positively correlated with educational level and English fluency. This study also found a negative correlation between acculturation attitude and social support. Social support from friends and English fluency were identified as significant predictor variables in determining the level of acculturation attitude. These findings not only contribute to social work education and practice, but also increase cultural sensitivity and awareness in working with these populations.

关于北方民族史研究的几个问题

长期以来,人们一直按照一源论的观点,认为中华民族文化和中华文明起源于黄河流域,北方民族的族源及其文化都是从中原地区传播而来,实际上,北方以及东北地区也是中华人类和文明发源地之一;以往的北方民族史研究,常常割断北方民族发展的继承性和连续性,把各个断代时期的某一民族,都说成是从原始野蛮时期开始,一步一步走过来,造成每个民族发展过程中的不断从头开始,实际上,北方民族发展已经形成自己的序列,发展水平具有一定的继承性和连续性,每个朝代都有新的发展和变化,并不是每一个朝代都从头开始;北方民族在发展过程中多次实现北方的统一,对中国的大统一以及中国北方疆域的奠定、巩固和开发都起到了极其重要的作用,因此,北方民族对中国历史发展的贡献不能低估。     

认知语言学视角下拟人与隐喻的比较

认知语言学通常把拟人视作最典型的本体（实体）隐喻,称为拟人隐喻,从而认为隐喻和拟人都是基于体验性和相似性的源域向靶域的映射。在认同隐喻和拟人都是不同概念间跨域联结的心智模式基础上,本文提出：隐喻是喻体（源域）向本体（靶域）的静态映射,本体、喻体在字面上兼具;而拟人是将本体融合在拟体中,非人本体被活化在拟体人中,并不显现,源域中拟人之体代其行事,从而得出结论：拟人是基于“转喻人”的隐喻。
