论《周易》“吉凶由人”的哲学意蕴

《周易》本为卜筮之书,经历代儒生的改造,逐渐演变为哲理之书。之后,《周易》中的吉凶悔吝、福祸休咎,不再由神秘莫测的天命来决定,而是由人的道德行为及周围环境等主客观条件决定。《周易》中的吉凶并不是绝对的,吉和凶都是有条件的,并且不断地相互转化,吉凶最终取决于人为。“吉凶由人”是《周易》的基本哲学意蕴。     

试论西周初期的“德”观念——以今文《周书》为中心的考察

周初之“德”是一个较为宽泛的观念,它可以分为以德配天、敬德保民、明德慎罚、任德尚贤四个重要组成部分,其价值与意义主要体现在政治领域,“德”是周人为论证政权的合法性及谋求政权的持久性而提出的。从内涵上来看,“德”字在周初尽管有了道德的意义,但“德”观念在人自身内在心灵的领域尚未达到深入的程度,“德”的外在意义在周初占有主导地位,它与后世具有普遍意义的个体心性道德还有一定的差距,并不等同于我们今天所说的“道德”。     

On the sample characterization criterion for normal distributions

Conventionally, it was shown that the underlying distribution is normal if and only if the sample mean and sample variance from a random sample are independent. This paper focusses on the normal population characterization theorem by showing that, if the joint distribution of a skew normal sample follows certain multivariate skew normal distribution, the sample mean and sample variance are still independent.     

Measuring the Influence of Social Context Referents in Substance Abuse Treatment: An Instrument Validation Study

ABSTRACT

This paper introduces a newly developed assessment tool, the Ecological Assessment of Substance abuse Experiences (EASE) that has been designed to measure the influence of social context referents (i.e., family, peers, and community) on clients' attitudes and outcome beliefs related to substance abuse and recovery. An initial exploratory factor analysis was conducted with a small sample of adult treatment-seekers (N =103) to identify its underlying factors and to examine the instrument's item-factor fit. Items clustered onto four orthogonal factors: “belonging-recovery,” “belonging-drugs/alcohol,” “disconnect-recovery,” and “attitudinal congruence-recovery.” Preliminary findings suggest that socio-emotional outcome beliefs and attitudes about drug use and recovery behaviors, as related to family, peers, and community contexts, may be significant areas to address during routine assessment practices that may lead to more comprehensive and contextually appropriate treatment plans.     

论先秦儒家中庸之异

中庸作为先秦儒家的重要范畴,在"何为中"问题上,大儒们的回答有所不同。孔子将其视为哲学方法论意义上的"道",从全局和全面出发,主张"全为中";子思将中庸上升为宇宙的本体,并认为诚是上达该本体的唯一正确途径,从而提出"诚为中";孟子从性善论出发,必然推演为"仁义为中";荀子为恢复孔子的中庸之道,纠偏思孟的"德性为中",倡导"规范为中"。

网络渠道交易价值的实证分析——以L品牌手机淘宝BtoC店为例

以国产手机著名品牌L品牌淘宝BtoC店为例,按入口时搜索的关键词的特点,将来访顾客分成渠道忠诚访客和品牌忠诚访客,连续30天观察总的页面浏览量、2种类型的访客数量、分别带来的成交量,以及每日询盘量。对渠道忠诚顾客带来的成交占总成交的比例进行均值估计,得知其比例为38.3%;对2类访客与相应的成交量分别作回归分析,结论均为有显著影响。文章在此基础上对提高网店价值,提出了相应的建议。

欠发达地区技术进步与经济增长的实证研究——以甘肃省为例

欠发达地区经济增长由于受到市场化程度、资源配置效率、工业发展基础等影响,技术进步转化生产力方面并不高,经济增长效应不佳。通过用甘肃省经济数据拟合广义柯布-道格拉斯函数,计算出广义技术进步以及资本、劳动和技术进步对经济增长的贡献,得出甘肃省经济发展还处于高资本、劳动投入推动经济增长阶段,经济发展处于粗放型模式,科技进步转化效果并不明显。     

Organizational characteristics that foster early adoption of cultural and linguistic competence in outpatient substance abuse treatment in the United States

Recent years have seen an increased interest in developing culturally and linguistically responsive systems of care in substance abuse treatment in the United States. This study examines the extent to which external and internal organizational pressures contributed to the degree of adoption of culturally and linguistically responsive practices in the nation's outpatient substance abuse treatment system early in the period of development of this system of care. Findings show that a higher degree of adoption of culturally competent practices was most likely in treatment programs with high dependence on external funding and regulation. Internally, programs with a larger number of professionals were associated with the lowest degree of adoption, while managers’ cultural sensitivity contributed significantly to a high degree of adoption of these responsive practices. Considering the passage of recent legislation enforcing the use of cultural and linguistic competence in health care, implications of these baseline findings on early adoption patterns are discussed for future research and health care policy evaluation.
