提高大学英语大班课效率刍议

随着高等教育的扩招，高校普遍在非英语专业大学英语课程中采用了大班教学模式以解决师资短缺的矛盾，由此也出现了一系列的问题。在本文中，作者以本人及所在学校的教学实践为例，论述了在大班教学中所存在的问题及其解决办法。笔者认为，作为大学英语教师，只要转变观念，努力认识大班教学的规律，提高大班教学的效率是有可能的。     

Best practices for online Canadian prenatal health promotion: A public health approach

Background

Prenatal health promotion provides information regarding pregnancy risks, protective behaviours and clinical and community resources. Typically, women obtain prenatal health information from health care providers, prenatal classes, peers/family, media and increasingly, Internet sites and mobile apps. Barriers to prenatal health promotion and related services include language, rural/remote location, citizenship and disability. Online public health platforms represent the capacity to reach underserved women and can be customised to address the needs of a heterogeneous population of pregnant women.

论文学叙事活动中叙事人称的功能特征

叙事人称的问题在文学叙事活动中是一个非常基本的问题,如何灵活地调动叙事人称,是文学作品中一种重要的写作策略。了解把握三种人称各自的功能特征,才能对其灵活选择与调度,使读者获得最大的信息量和感情浓度。侧重分析了文学叙事活动中叙事人称的功能特征。

从《夏伯阳》看苏联早期电影对中国电影的影响

《夏伯阳》上映后对中国社会、中国当代文化,尤其是电影史和电影制作的影响,可以以1949年为界,大致划分为两个时期。在后一个时期,《夏伯阳》的影响甚至直接反映在中国国产电影的制作中。而近年来大陆影视的演进发展,多少都表现出试图突破以往艺术创作窠臼的努力,这种中苏文化上的内在与外在关联值得关注和反思。     

Relationship between the weighted distributions and some inequality measures

In this paper, we study the relationships between the weighted distributions and the parent distributions in the context of Lorenz curve, Lorenz ordering and inequality measures. These relationships depend on the nature of the weight functions and give rise to interesting connections. The properties of weighted distributions for general weight functions are also investigated. It is shown how to derive and to determine characterizations related to Lorenz curve and other inequality measures for the cases weight functions are increasing or decreasing. Some of the results are applied for special cases of the weighted distributions. We represent the reliability measures of weighted distributions by the inequality measures to obtain some results. Length-biased and equilibrium distributions have been discussed as weighted distributions in the reliability context by concentration curves. We also review and extend the problem of stochastic orderings and aging classes under weighting. Finally, the relationships between the weighted distribution and transformations are discussed.     

Preservation of generalized ageing classes on the residual life at random time

In this paper, we provide some new preservation properties of generalized ageing classes (s-IFR) on the residual life at random time, where s is a nonnegative integer. We also obtain bounds of the residual life at exponential random time. Results are expected to be useful in the reliability, queue theory and actuarial science.     

Designing Computerized Clinical Information Systems to Monitor Interventions on the Agency Level

The aim of this paper is to suggest an approach to the design of computerized clinical information systems to help meet the information needs of practitioners in social service agencies. Further, the interest is in data that can and should be collected as integral part of practice and not as part of one-shot research endeavors. This paper presents a brief analysis of what outputs a clinical information system should produce in order to meet information needs of clinicians, and suggests guidelines for the design of such systems. Two applications of information systems based on these guidelines are presented and discussed. In the discussion, the paper identifies the need for programming tools which would faciliate the interface between practitioners and data base programs. Finally, the implications of the availability of this information technology for clinical judgment and for individualized interventions are briefly discussed.     

商代多笄头饰的考古学观察

在先秦时期,头发不仅是人体自然生长的生命体征,而且是血族生命力传承的表现,因此,头饰不但代表人们对美的追求,更具有一定的社会等级意义。对商代考古中所见随葬多个笄的墓葬进行分析,并探索其所代表的社会等级意义。     

Middle‐Class Political Activism and Middle‐Class Advantage in Relation to Public Services: A Realist Synthesis of the Evidence Base

Since the late 1960s social policy scholarship has been concerned with the distribution of the resources or benefits across social gradients. This article presents a review of the literature on one mechanism by which inequity might be produced – activism by middle‐class service‐users enabling them to capture a disproportionate share of resources. The review used the methodology of realist synthesis to bring together evidence from the UK, the USA and Scandinavian countries over the past 30 years. The aim was to construct a ‘middle‐theory’ to understand how and in which contexts collective and individual activity by middle‐class service‐users might produce inequitable resource allocation or rationing decisions that disproportionately benefit middle‐class service‐users. The article identifies four causal theories which nuance the view that it is the ‘sharp elbows’ of the middle‐classes which confer advantage on this group. It shows how advantage accrues via the interplay between service‐users, providers and the broader policy and social context.
