论犹太人夏洛克的身份危机

犹太人夏洛克是莎士比亚笔下的悲剧人物。他家庭事业的最终瓦解和他宗教信仰的被迫转向是16世纪受压迫遭欺辱的一代犹太人民的宿命,而作为犹太教的悲剧英雄,他屈辱而奋进的一生极大地丰富了《威尼斯商人》的人文主义进步思想。     

The Social Context of Police Lying

This is an analysis of the social context of normal police lies. We define lies as speech acts which the speaker knows are misleading or false, are intended to deceive, and where evidence to the contrary is known to the observer. Lies are relative to a moral context, and what an audience will accept. Lies include excuses, which deny full responsibility for an act, but acknowledge its immorality, and justifications, which accept responsibility but deny blame-worthiness. Police learn to lie and to carefully distinguish normal (or acceptable) lies from unacceptable lies, suggesting that lies are a part of a negotiated occupational order. We show how and why some types of lies are rewarded by police using ethnographic data from an 18 month field study of a large urban force. Lies can be of little issue, or become troublesome. We report and analyze two kinds of troublesome lies: case lies, recognized stories an officer utilizes in a courtroom or on paper to facilitate the conviction of a suspect, and cover stories, lies an officer tells in court, to supervisors, and on the job with the aim of providing a verbal shield or mitigation in the event of discipline. Both excuses and justifications are woven together in these vignettes. An example of a refusal to lie is used to illustrate some of the limits on lying as well organizational factors in lying. Some implications for official lying are also noted.     

Catholicism and the Philippine population problem

"The Philippines has two characteristics which differentiate if from other countries in Southeast Asia. It is the only predominantly Christian country in the region and it has one of the highest rates of population growth. Non-Catholic Christians make up only about 9 per cent of the population compared with around 82 per cent for Roman Catholics. Given the Catholic Church objections to both contraception and abortion, it is not illogical to hypothesize a relation between the religious composition of the population and its rate of population growth."     

基于供应链协作的易腐物品最优定价策略研究

协作机制在供应链管理中起着重要的作用,但目前对供应链协作机制的研究大都假设库存货物能无限期存放,很少考虑产品在存贮过程中发生的变质、减值等情况.本文以易腐物品为对象,主要研究如何通过供应商和零售商的协作来加强供应链各节点企业间的合作,以增加系统的总利润,达到双赢的目的.

Realistic Free-Spins Features Increase Preference for Slot Machines

Despite increasing research into how the structural characteristics of slot machines influence gambling behaviour there have been no experimental investigations into the effect of free-spins bonus features—a structural characteristic that is commonly central to the design of slot machines. This series of three experiments investigated the free-spins feature using slot machine simulations to determine whether participants allocate more wagers to a machine with free spins, and, which components of free-spins features drive this preference. In each experiment, participants were exposed to two computer-simulated slot machines—one with a free-spins feature or similar bonus feature and one without. Participants then completed a testing phase where they could freely switch between the two machines. In Experiment 1, participants did not prefer the machine with a simple free-spins feature. In Experiment 2 the free-spins feature incorporated additional elements such as sounds, animations, and an increased win frequency; participants preferred to gamble on this machine. The Experiment 3 “bonus feature” machine resembled the free spins machine in Experiment 2 except spins were not free; participants showed a clear preference for this machine also. These findings indicate that (1) free-spins features have a major influence over machine choice and (2) the “freeness” of the free-spins bonus features is not an important driver of preference, contrary to self-report and interview research with gamblers.     

学生社团在北京高校民族团结教育中的功能与作用

随着改革开放的不断推进，我国进入社会转型期，面对新形势、新任务和新问题，民族团结教育的任务更加紧迫，主体范围更大，内容和方式更需要与时俱进。因此，作为培养祖国栋梁之才的大基地，北京各高校更需注重加强民族团结教育工作，特别是要利用好学生社团这个“第二课堂”平台，开展好民族团结教育工作，促使大学生能够切实担负起维护祖国统一，促进民族团结的重任。本篇论文试图在民族团结教育理论的基础上，从学生社团的角度去考察北京高校民族团结教育发展情况，根据北京高校学生社团发展现状，采取问卷调查与文献研究的方法，分析总结了北京高校学生社团在促进民族团结教育中的功能与作用以及存在的问题，并提出了相应的合理性建议。     

基于改进的聚类和关联规则挖掘的学生成绩分析

针对北京邮电大学通信工程专业学生的学习状况分析和培养方案的改进需求,提出一种基于改进的聚类和关联规则挖掘的成绩分析方法,借助数据挖掘手段对学生在校期间的各课程成绩进行相关性分析.以2009-2011级通信工程专业本科生的课程成绩作为样本数据,应用该挖掘方法得到课程之间的关联规则网络,从而分析课程间的衔接关系、判断课程的重要程度以及评价各课程的教学效果.另外,以2011级学生的高考成绩数据作为样本,挖掘高考成绩与大学成绩间的关联规则,分析学生入学前成绩对入学后表现的影响.应用本文所述方法得到的挖掘结果能够为教学方案的设计和改进提供一定参考信息,对提高学生学习质量具有良好作用.
