英汉语中“焦点/背景”设置对比反映的认知模式差异

“焦点／背景”理论于上世纪60年代从心理学研究走向语言学研究的领域,并带来了丰硕的研究成果。论文以该理论为基础,通过对比研究英汉语中“焦点”与“背景”的设置,得出英汉语人群的不同认知模式。英语中通常呈现焦点前置的原则,也就是“焦点--背景”的认知模式;对比之下,汉语则呈现焦点后置的原则,及“背景--焦点”的认知模式。

后次贷危机时期IMF改革的法律思考

2007年8月爆发于美国的次贷危机已经蔓延成自20世纪30年代"大萧条"以来最严重的金融危机.历史再次将拯救危机的重担交给了国际货币基金组织,但其法律缺陷却使其合法性日益遭到质疑.次贷危机在给世界经济带来沉重打击的同时,也孕育了国际货币基金组织法律变革的契机.面对这种变化了的形势,应该增设监督机构,改革国际货币基金组织内部的组织结构;修改份额公式,改革国际货币基金组织的决策机制;拓展国际货币基金组织的职能,完善其法律人格;改革贷款的条件性,使条件具备合法性基础;修改<国际货币基金协定>,加强其法律约束力.     

Release velocities and bowler performance in cricket

There is a widespread notion in the cricketing world that with increasing pace the performance of a bowler improves. Additionally, many cricket experts believe faster bowlers to be more effective against lower order batters than bowlers who bowl at slower speeds. The present study puts these two ubiquitous notions under test by statistically analysing the differences in performance of bowlers from three subpopulations based on average release velocities. Results from one-way ANOVA (and its modified versions), for international test matches, reveal faster bowlers to be performing better, in terms of Average and Strike-rate, but no significant differences in the Economy rate and Dynamic Bowling rate. Faster bowlers were found to be more effective in taking wickets of lower and middle order batters as compared to bowlers with less pace. However, there was no statistically significant difference in performance of Fast and Fast-Medium bowlers against a top-order batter.     

宋代“修韵官”考论

“修韵官”一词可用于指涉在官修韵书纂修过程中做出贡献的所有官员。他们的工作涉及到韵书修撰的各个方面。宋代“修韵官”作为一个岗位,具有因事设岗的显著特征;它是一种“兼职”,一般由担任其他官职的人员兼任,并不属于正式的官制系统。宋代“修韵官”作为一个“团队”,体现了严密协作的团队精神。研究宋代“修韵官”,既有助于满足今人对宋代官修韵书纂修者进行系统了解的诉求,也有助于借此管窥宋代文化范式的丰富性与独特价值。     

Competency‐based Education: Evidence from Social Work Postgraduates from Five Universities in China

Social work education in China has undergone rapid development during last two decades. However, methods to define, measure, and evaluate social work students' competency remain largely unexplored. In this study, we evaluated competency in graduate social work students in China and examined factors that impacted competency, based on learning theory. Findings indicated that knowledge and skills learned in class, field placement, and social context all have effects on competency. How students think about individual development and the social work profession has the most significant effect. These findings carry implications for social work education in the Chinese context. The rapid development of social work education in China requires the effective measurement and evaluation of students' core competencies.     

The American Trade Dollar

The changes in technology that have affected mail delivery are a dynamic way to encourage students to think critically and make meaningful connections across historical eras. In the classroom, personal communication through the mail can become the “thematic glue” used across historical units to highlight the changes in everyday life caused by technological innovation. The post office initiated changes in streetlighting and crosswalks, stimulated the development of rural roads and highways, and provided passenger services on railways. Classroom teachers can use the activities and discussion questions to introduce students to this entity and its influence on our history.     

Outcharming crime in (D)urban space

This paper is an inquiry into the uses of space and emotions in the governance of urban dangers. Cities have always been affective assemblages, yet the role of both space and affect in the control of urban crime has dramatically changed over the century. What defines spatial urban management today, in Africa and elsewhere, are not the prohibitive, moralising or forcefully exclusionary techniques of the past; instead, the powers of seduction and atmosphere have gained pride of place and given rise to a regime of spatial management through flirty surfaces. Crime, according to security strategists and city makers in the South African city of Durban, can be literally charmed out from particular bubbles of governance. Urban practitioners do not search for the root causes of violent crime somewhere deep in the history of society, but rather in space itself, right at the city's surface. While part of a worldwide trend, this recent fascination with the charming aspects of space has a particularly strong South African dramatic. Governing through handsome space in South Africa is not simply a creation of beautiful illusions against the reality of pervasive violence, but a constant endeavour to re‐draw a troubled spatial history.
