Comparative probability for conditional events: A new look through coherence

We study, from the standpoint of coherence, comparative probabilities on an arbitrary familyE of conditional events. Given a binary relation ·, coherence conditions on · are related to de Finetti's coherent betting system: we consider their connections to the usual properties of comparative probability and to the possibility of numerical representations of ·. In this context, the numerical reference frame is that of de Finetti's coherent subjective conditional probability, which is not introduced (as in Kolmogoroff's approach) through a ratio between probability measures.Another relevant feature of our approach is that the family & need not have any particular algebraic structure, so that the ordering can be initially given for a few conditional events of interest and then possibly extended by a step-by-step procedure, preserving coherence.     

《考槃余事》作者考辨

万历三十四年(1606)沈氏尚白斋所刻《考槃余事》四卷,署名明代文学家屠隆,后世学者多认同为屠氏著作而加以引证研究,然书中条目所论对象大多已经重见于前人之作。诸多证据表明,该书作者并非屠隆:其一,是书广泛截取旧作,巧加连缀,造为新编,乃有意作伪;其二,《考槃余事》行文风格与屠隆之文绝然不类;其三,屠隆缺少收藏赏鉴之条件与趣尚。藉此,可判定《考槃余事》应是伪托无疑,后之研究屠隆作品艺术以及思想观念,当谨言慎行而不可笃定为权威凭据。     

“鬼女红叶”传说的文本传承研究

日本长野地区至今仍广为流传着一个传说——“鬼女红叶”传说。该传说的文本记载肇始于日本中世,其后几经演变渐渐在长野地区以相对稳定的传承方式固定下来。通过文献研究法,解析该传说的文献记载与长野地区的勾连,沿着时间轴从文本层面对该传说的传承进行研究,理清文本传承的脉络及其情节演变过程,在此基础上考察文本传承所反映的在地化要素。     

Why do participants in voluntary organizations leave? Exploring the relationship between value congruence and length of stay

Recognizing the importance of values and the specific characteristics of participants and situations in voluntary organizations, we examine how value congruence—the fit or compatibility of values between participants and the organization, or among participants—interacts with personal and situational factors to predict participants' length of stay in their organizations. Introducing the case of a voluntary organization that offers shared housing, we measure value congruence through textual similarity in the self‐introduction documents of 49 participants and the organization's mission statement. This approach differs from the self‐reported measures based on participants' perceptions or recalled interactions used in previous studies. In line with expectation‐disconfirmation theory, participants with the strongest beliefs in organizational values had shorter lengths of stay. The amount of intraorganizational communication also moderated the relationship between value congruence and length of stay. This study provides theoretical and methodological implications for nonprofit management by considering personal and situational factors and evaluating value congruence by textual similarity.     

关于量子控制系统的哲学思考

环境对量子控制系统的消相干揭示了一个事实,即量子世界里的系统将是一种全新的系统,它是某种开放的、数学的、并且是基于量子逻辑的系统。笔者认为,假如仍然还是立足经典思维,则系统的独立性将难以得到保证,传统的整体论也将变得自相矛盾。只有发展全新的"量子整体论",并在这种新的框架下去审视和建构量子系统,我们才有可能重新获得某种连贯一致的整体论。     

An approach to measure distance between compositional diet estimates containing essential zeros

For many applications involving compositional data, it is necessary to establish a valid measure of distance, yet when essential zeros are present traditional distance measures are problematic. In quantitative fatty acid signature analysis (QFASA), compositional diet estimates are produced that often contain many zeros. In order to test for a difference in diet between two populations of predators using the QFASA diet estimates, a legitimate measure of distance for use in the test statistic is necessary. Since ecologists using QFASA must first select the potential species of prey in the predator's diet, the chosen measure of distance should be such that the distance between samples does not decrease as the number of species considered increases, a property known in general as subcompositional coherence. In this paper we compare three measures of distance for compositional data capable of handling zeros, but not satisfying some of the well-accepted principles of compositional data analysis. For compositional diet estimates, the most relevant of these is the property of subcompositionally coherence and we show that this property may be approximately satisfied. Based on the results of a simulation study and an application to real-life QFASA diet estimates of grey seals, we recommend the chi-square measure of distance.     

《手批尔雅义疏》同族词疏证七则

《手批尔雅义疏》是近代著名语源学家黄侃从事语源研究实践最重要的成果之一，其批语中系联了大量的同族词。经过系统梳理，并运用同类互证方法等加以验证，可以发现，“荎：挃”、“殻：螯”、“睔：棆”、“憋：鷩”、“跳：狣”、“串：贯：毋”、“讹：化”等还没有被现当代学者证实的同族词确实存在同源关系。     

黄丕烈藏书题跋辑本校误举例

清代著名藏书家黄丕烈的藏书题跋于版本学、目录学等方面有很大价值,清潘祖荫、缪荃孙等人都曾搜集黄丕烈的藏书题跋,编纂成书。通过对部分黄氏手书题跋与诸家辑本的校勘,可发现后人在转抄过程中出现的讹、脱、倒、衍等问题,其中不少异文涉及是非问题。在诸家辑本基础上对黄氏藏书题跋的重新纂集校录,可为广大读者提供一个更为完整精善的本子。     

王夫之《张子正蒙》诠释方法论初探?

与北宋中期以来包括二程、朱熹在内的许多儒家学者的有关看法相比较，王夫之关于《正蒙》的文本观念，是全面的、深刻的，有着一定的独到性、创造性和科学性。正是从这种文本观念出发，王夫之建构起富有创造性的四种诠释方法论：语言诠释方法，体验诠释方法，类推诠释方法，贯通诠释方法。运用这些方法，王夫之务必要在程朱二子之外另辟蹊径，对于张载创立的“真孟子以后所未有也”的哲学理论大力阐发，在新的社会文化条件下予以重建，从而力图推进中国哲学的发展，挽回当世“人心之横流”！     

语篇理解中的信息认知研究

随着语篇语言学的深入研究和不断发展,人们越来越认识到语篇特定信息的把握在语篇解读中的重要性。本文从语篇的文化语境、语篇信息度、语篇组织中的隐喻功能、语篇连贯中的关联理论几方面来探讨特定的信息认知对语篇理解的作用。
