Just the “Typical College Diet”: How College Students Use Life Stages to Account for Unhealthy Eating

I performed a qualitative content analysis of 136 college students' food diary reflection papers to examine the accounts used when explaining dietary failures. In addition to common justifications (denials of injury, appeals to higher loyalties, and condemning the condemners) and excuses (denials of responsibility and postponement), diarists referred to their status as a college student and the “typical college student lifestyle” as the major reason for eating an unhealthy diet. Exploring how students use life stages to neutralize stigma adds a new temporal and context‐focused dimension to studies of accounts and provides direction for potential health interventions.     

意象、中和与呈现:政治活动之美——兼谈中国共产党的建党经验

与"美在意象"、"美在和谐"、"美在呈现"的观点相对应,执政党政治美学所描述的"政治活动之美",具有"形式之美"、"中和之美"及"为人之美"。中国共产党的建党实践及执政理念,在某种程度上体现了"政治活动之美",对当今一些忽视美学评价的执政行为有警示意义。     

"中和技术理论"与青少年犯罪研究

“中和技术理论”是一种研究少年犯罪心理的社会学理论,它指出奉行传统价值观念的犯罪人如何使用中和技术抵消其内心的罪恶感,从而将其犯罪行为合理化。这一理论可以拓宽青少年犯罪研究视野,对青少年犯罪的预防和控制具有现实指导意义。当然,“中和技术理论”也有其局限性。     

技术过程论的再思考

技术过程论是把技术当做一个动态的过程来进行考察。对技术过程论进行了再思考,对其进行了新的哲学概括,认为技术不仅存在于多要素相互作用的过程中,而且是过程存在。坚持技术过程论,就必须打开技术"黑箱",承认技术形态论,即技术是多种形态的统一体。用技术形态论分析技术的价值负荷过程,有可能消解技术中性论与技术价值论的尖锐对立,并可以深入理解技术异化的内涵。     

情势与演进——中国书法构图艺术的再认识

中国书法的构图学作为书法美学的组成部分,与哲学密不可分.历代书法艺术在演进过程中,体现了中华民族的艺术形式和艺术精神,也表现出中华民族的精神追求.     

群居和一之道——荀子的和谐理念及其现实意义

荀子批判吸收孔孟的"中和"思想,提出在分的前提下的人与自然可持续发展的协同,人与社会义分则和的群居和一之道,礼別异,乐合同的人与自身和谐之道.这些思想对于构建社会主义和谐社会具有一定的借鉴意义.     

标记理论和英语性别名词的标记性现象

运用标记理论讨论英语性别名词的标记性现象时,我们发现英语中人称性别名词的标记现象比较简单,主要表现为阳性可以无标记而阴性有标记,尽管有时在语用中有所不同,阴性人称名词一般不能为无标记项;动物名词的标记现象较为复杂,阳性或阴性动物名词都有可能是无标记项和有标记项,但总的来说,英语性别名词的标记性在不同的语用环境中会出现种种不对称和标记颠倒及中和的情况。     

"中和"说:朱熹理学体系的第一块基石

"中和"说是朱熹为他的理学体系奠下的第一块基石.他的"中和"说的形成,经历了从师事李侗到转向湖湘派再回到程颐的长期探索."中和"说的形成,使传统的"中庸"思想不仅突出了"中和"的内涵,而且赋予了以人的行为自律、情感中节来达到"天地位、万物育"的内容,从而通过人的自觉来实现世界秩序的稳定与和谐.     

Neutralization theory and the denial of risk: some evidence from cannabis use among French adolescents

In contemporary societies, risk culture and risk profiling lead to the stigmatization of unhealthy behaviours as 'risky'. Risk denial theory refers to a cognitive way to deal with risky behaviours and can be considered as an updated variant of Sykes and Matza's neutralization theory. People neutralize the 'risky' label using specific techniques that must be added to those previously enlisted by Sykes and Matza. This paper introduces and discusses three techniques of risk denial: scapegoating, self-confidence and comparison between risks. As it is usually defined and studied as a 'risky behaviour', cannabis use provides a relevant example to illustrate these types of risk denial, thanks to various ethnographic studies (including Becker's seminal work on marijuana smokers) and quantitative French data from the 1999 European School Survey on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD). In order to deny the 'risky' label, cannabis users scapegoat 'hard drugs' users, they emphasize their own ability to control their consumption personally, or they compare cannabis and alcohol risks. The paper concludes with suggestions for further analyses of risk denial.     

Correlation of Quantitative Risk Results for High Hazard Processes

A quantitative risk analysis was conducted to evaluate the design of the VX neutralization subsystem and related support facilities of the U.S. Army Newport Chemical Agent Disposal Facility. Three major incidents including agent release, personnel injury, and system loss were studied using fault tree analysis methodology. Each incident was assigned a risk assessment code based on the severity level and probability of occurrence of the incident. Safety mitigations or design changes were recommended to bring the "undesired" risk level (typical agent release events) to be "acceptable with controls" or "acceptable."
