Generic Processes in Aligning the Multiple Bases of Identity: The Case of Becoming a Ministry Student

Identity theory distinguishes three bases of identity—role, group, and person—but studies have typically focused on one identity at a time. The interrelationship among the multiple bases of identity remains understudied. This study examines the multiple bases of identity individuals engage on their way to becoming ministry students. The results reveal the advantage of examining the multiple bases of identity as subcultural processes, the utility of qualitative research for expanding the empirical scope of identity theory, and the possibility of employing structural symbolic interactionist concepts within a processual symbolic interactionist agenda.

Universal versus contextual effects on TQM: a triangulation study using neural networks

The objective of this study is to extend previous research on total quality management (TQM)-context-performance relationships and ‘fit’ using multiple methods. We combine artificial neural networks (ANNs) with structural equation modelling (SEM) to analyse several hypotheses and propositions. This is the first study in this area of research that utilises ANNs and a triangulation technique in the presence of several contextual factors. The SEM analyses suggest that company size and industry type may have contingency effects on some of the TQM practices and/or TQM-performance relationships. However, the ANN models have shown that these two contingency factors do not moderate TQM outcomes, implying that all organisations can benefit from TQM regardless of size and type. As well, these models show that formal TQM implementation and/or ISO certifications do not add any predictive power to the ANN models except in one case: TQM implementation and/or ISO certification added to organisational effectiveness and customer results to predict financial and market (F&M) results. The results further indicate that even though implementing TQM alone has a bigger impact on F&M results than obtaining ISO certification alone, combining the two will have an even greater impact on these results. Joint implementation leads to greater improvements in organisational effectiveness, which, in turn, has a positive effect on customer results and consequently F&M results. This is a unique finding within the context of moderator effects on TQM-performance relationships.     

试论古代语学及其解释思想

古代语文学和语言学都有解释功能,语学著成名书,解释入于名学,名学为概念、逻辑之学。名书《尔雅》和古代传注,都有名理可言;作为一种知识考古,又都有自己的解释背景和思想。诸子本哲学,但到处可见语言解释和修辞隐喻。     

电视仪式:电视人类学研究发展

相较于其他艺术现象,电视及其传播、接受、反应行为具有更多的人类学涵意。对电视仪式的揭示与探索是电视人类学研究的核心。本文指出,电视节目的策划制作与收视实践,是一种仪式的现代性表征。电视仪式就是以电视为媒介中心组织起来的结构性行为。人类学仪式借助电视这一现代传媒技术已经深刻地切入到人们的日常生活之中,发挥着重要的结构性作用。对电视仪式的研究既可以展示古代仪式的现代表征,亦可以揭示当代电视人类学的深刻意义与广阔前景。

我国翻译质量评价研究的现状与趋势

翻译质量评价研究在我国译学研究中已经走过了相当一段路程,并取得了不小的成绩。论文围绕我国翻译质量评价之歧路、西方翻译评价理论在中国之引介、翻译质量评价新动向等方面对国内翻译质量评价研究的现状进行梳理,以期对我国的翻译质量评价研究提供参考。作为译学研究的重要组成部分,功能语言学为翻译质量评价提供了强大理论基础,语料库研究为其提供了可资借鉴的实证研究路径,将这二者结合或可使翻译评价研究走出一条新路。     

An Empirical Strategy to Detect Spurious Effects in Long Memory and Occasional-Break Processes

Long-range dependence and structural changes in level are intimely related phenomena and it is very difficult to separate the two effects. In this article, we present an empirical procedure to distinguish between long-memory and occasional-break processes. An extensive Monte Carlo experiment illustrates the performance of the procedure and an application to real data is also included.     

Comparison of causal effect estimators under exposure misclassification

Over the past decades, various principles for causal effect estimation have been proposed, all differing in terms of how they adjust for measured confounders: either via traditional regression adjustment, by adjusting for the expected exposure given those confounders (e.g., the propensity score), or by inversely weighting each subject's data by the likelihood of the observed exposure, given those confounders. When the exposure is measured with error, this raises the question whether these different estimation strategies might be differently affected and whether one of them is to be preferred for that reason. In this article, we investigate this by comparing inverse probability of treatment weighted (IPTW) estimators and doubly robust estimators for the exposure effect in linear marginal structural mean models (MSM) with G-estimators, propensity score (PS) adjusted estimators and ordinary least squares (OLS) estimators for the exposure effect in linear regression models. We find analytically that these estimators are equally affected when exposure misclassification is independent of the confounders, but not otherwise. Simulation studies reveal similar results for time-varying exposures and when the model of interest includes a logistic link.     

文献研究中语言学方法的限度

学术研究中,语言学方法常常用于文献的断代研究,但是,这一方法是具有一定限度的。若干失误往往表现在方法论的预设,凡是某一时代文献没有记载的语汇就不属于该时代;且在语汇的时间层次、语言使用的差异性、语法的时间层次上皆有一定的盲区。认识这一现象,有助于我们在使用上述方法进行学术研究时确定其存在的限度。
