象雄语医学文献I.O.755试析

象雄语医学写卷Ⅰ.O.755出自敦煌莫高窟藏经洞,是目前所知最古老的象雄语医学文献实物.该文献正文共有120行42段,是用邬坚体藏文字母转写的.文章通过对该写卷字母、符号、书写,以及构词规则、句子结构等方面的初步分析,对写卷的特征作了全面的介绍,并排除梵、藏语文写本的可能性,倾向于认同其为象雄语写本.将其中部分词语与梵、藏语药名对比后,初步推断出写本中部分语词是药物名称,进而推测出写本中重复出现的部分词、句的含义.由此初步认定,该写本是包括41组医方的象雄语医药文献.     

探索民族文化发展之路

本文在总结分析"十五"期间广西民族文化工作取得的成绩的基础上,提出广西民族文化发展的思路:强化民族文化是一个民族的灵魂和根基的共识;以民族节庆为平台,广泛推崇民族文化;加强和扶持民族文化载体建设,借助现代化手段,推动民族文化走向全国、走向世界;构建"点、线、区、网"相连的民族文化体系。     

基于人体膳食均衡视角下的我国果蔬消费趋势预测与结构优化

水果和蔬菜是为人体提供矿物质、维生素、膳食纤维等营养元素的重要农产品,我国居民饮食中普遍存在着能量相对过剩、果蔬摄入量不足的问题。以人体膳食均衡为研究视角,研究我国果蔬消费趋势和结构优化问题,结果表明：按照当前的消费趋势发展,我国居民营养摄入不足与过剩同在的问题依然无法得到解决;我国政府在制定水果和蔬菜战略布局的决策中,应综合考虑人体的膳食营养均衡和未来市场营养需求,以实现我国果蔬产业布局优化;消费者在进行水果和蔬菜消费购买行为时,应在营养膳食均衡的基础上进行合理消费。     

从欧盟"被遗忘权"看网络治理规则的选择

1995年以来,欧盟不断加强对个人数据的保护力度,被遗忘权由此成为欧盟个人数据保护立法上的一个重要概念,历经三个阶段,日趋受到合理限制.在国际上,各国在被遗忘权问题上,存在一般被遗忘权和特殊被遗忘权的立法分野,前者以欧盟最为典型,后者包括美国等国家.鉴于被遗忘权在实践层面并不能产生实质性效果,反倒给互联网产业创新发展带来负担,且既有规范体系已经足够为个人数据和隐私提供充分保护,因此我国未来在制定相关立法时,没必要引入甚至扩大被遗忘权,反而应当从数据最小化、 通过设计保护隐私等层面做出努力,并且应当积极参与国际网络治理规则的制定.     

社会符号学视角下法律翻译对等研究

法律翻译是法律运行机制下的语言转换,面临法律与语言体系的双重制约。对等则是法律翻译的重中之重,这就意味着翻译的主要任务是解决源语与目标语之间的意义分歧。法律是一种符号,而构成该符号的法律语言发挥着特定的功能。这个特定功能是指通过探寻法律符号意义的过程,理解法律对社会产生的影响和效果。基于符号学语义三角提出的翻译语义三角可以为法律翻译中的精确对等提供理论基础。然而现实中法律翻译往往受到话语环境和话语使用群体的制约,通过具体的实证研究,可以得出两个结论：在同一法律体系内,可以通过翻译语义三角实现法律翻译精确对等;借助从社会符号学视角出发的语义参考方案、法定意义与社会意义的区分、语言元功能等策略,可以理解法律翻译的复杂性。     

Robust Smoothed Rank Estimation Methods for Accelerated Failure Time Model Allowing Clusters

Smoothed Gehan rank estimation methods are widely used in accelerated failure time (AFT) models with/without clusters. However, most methods are sensitive to outliers in the covariates. In order to solve this problem, we propose robust approaches based on the smoothed Gehan rank estimation methods for the AFT model, allowing for clusters by employing two different weight functions. Simulation studies show that the proposed methods outperform existing smoothed rank estimation methods regarding their biases and standard deviations when there are outliers in the covariates. The proposed methods are also applied to a real dataset from the “Major cardiovascular interventions” study.     

Symmetrical Design of Experiment in Global Sensitivity Analysis Based on ANOVA High-dimensional Model Representation

This article reviews symmetrical global sensitivity analysis based on the analysis of variance of high-dimensional model representation. To overcome the computational difficulties and explore the use of symmetrical design of experiment (SDOE), two methods are presented. If the form of the objective function f is known, we use SDOE to estimate the symmetrical global sensitivity indices instead of Monte Carlo or quasi-Monte Carlo simulation. Otherwise, we use the observed values of the experiment to do symmetrical global sensitivity analysis. These methods are easy to implement and can reduce the computational cost. An example is given by symmetrical design of experiment.     

Social inequalities in intimate partner violence: a study of women in Kenya

This study examines social inequalities in intimate partner violence (IPV) among women of reproductive age in Kenya. A sample comprising 3,696 women was retrieved from the Kenyan Demographic and Health Survey of 2003. The study design was cross-sectional. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Results indicated that while high education among women reduced the risk of IPV exposure, both being employed and having a higher education/occupational status than her partner increased a woman's vulnerability to IPV. Age differences between the partners, illiteracy, and lack of autonomy and access to information increased the likelihood of IPV. Finally, being in polygamous relationships was associated with IPV exposure. The findings indicate demographic, social, and structural differences in exposure to IPV with important implications for interventions.     

Four criteria to evaluate providers' service-delivery response to new contraceptive introduction

This article presents an evaluation framework developed to assess the first-level effects of introducing the Standard Days Method (SDM) in Peru Ministry of Health clinics. Four questions are asked: 1) To what extent do providers routinely achieve SDM service delivery standards? 2) Is the time invested in SDM delivery consistent with program norms? 3) How does SDM delivery compare with delivery of established methods? and 4) How does SDM introduction affect delivery of established methods? A study at 62 clinics demonstrated the framework's usefulness. The Standard Days Method introduction had positive overall effects on the quality of care but provider training needed adjustments.
