The reproductive health indices and sex hormone levels in middle-aged and elderly Chinese men

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the age-related recession trajectory of reproductive health indices in middle-aged and elderly Chinese men.

Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Jiashan County, Zhejiang in 2012. Healthy men between 40 and 80 years of age were considered eligible for the study. Physical examination and the sex hormones were measured. The subjects were assessed based on the 5-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) for Erectile Dysfunction (ED), and Aging Males’ Symptoms (AMS) scale for Symptomatic Late-Onset Hypogonadism (SLOH).

Results: TG showed a decrease at age 60 years. Testis volume and TT did not show significant difference among the four age groups; cFT began to decrease at age 50 years and Bio-T decreased faster at age 50 years. SHBG and LH increased faster at age 50 and 70 years, respectively. IIEF5 score decrease faster at age 60 years. AMS scores increased faster at age 70 years. With the increase in age, the symptoms of ED and SLOH became severer.

Conclusion: Different indices on reproductive health of men showed turning points at different ages. At first, androgenic sex hormones decreased faster, and then erectile dysfunction got severer, and the last overall male syndromes declined.     

Culturally responsive teaching in China: instructional strategy and teachers’ attitudes

The aim of this study was to investigate the manner in which teachers facilitate the pedagogical process within a culturally diverse student population. The study focused on two primary schools in China; one located in a more fully developed city in eastern China (Case A), while the other was in a less developed city in rural western China (Case B). This allowed the researchers to compare and analyse the different instructional practices by means of semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. The findings indicate that: the teachers in Case A demonstrated overall affirmative attitudes towards ethnic minority cultures, as well as towards the students belonging to those cultures. However, the teachers also chose not to mention the specific ethnic identities and cultural differences of the students during the course of their instruction in order to ensure equal treatment for everyone. This leads to a kind of ‘cultural blindness’ in the classroom. In Case B, opinions regarding minority cultures were more varied. Compared with the teachers in Case A, more teachers in Case B found minority cultures to be inferior to the dominant Han culture. Some teachers also, counter intuitively, were of the opinion that the minority cultures were even superior. At the instructional level, school leadership developed courses on local culture and ethnicity for the teaching staff. This was done for a variety of reasons. The strongest evidence to support culturally responsive teaching in Case A does not stem from teaching and learning demands but from the necessity to pursue characteristics that make them distinctive from other schools at the same time, Case B’s practice of culturally responsive teaching was strongly supported by the government and UNICEF. Teachers in both schools indicated that they had integrated their knowledge of ethnic minority groups into the subject matter when it was necessary.

负面无用评论对消费者真的无用吗?

网络购物在线评论信息包含了大量看似无用的评论,该类评论对消费者产品购买态度是否会产生影响尚缺少相关研究。明晰负面无用评论对消费者购买意愿的影响机理对平台及企业有效管理用户在线评论具有一定的参考价值。本研究以无用评论信息作为研究对象,采用实验法,设置“负面无用评论”“负面有用评论”实验组以及“正面有用评论”对照组,解析负面无用评论对消费者购买意愿的影响及其内在机制,得到结论如下：在正面有用评论集中加入负面无用评论能提高消费者购买意愿,加入负面有用评论则会降低消费者购买意愿;负面评论展现出的无关内容越多,消费者感知到的风险越低,购买意愿越高;品牌熟悉度越高,消费者购买意愿受负面无用评论的影响越大。     

中职学校做好贫困生资助工作的思考

随着国家对中职学校贫困生资助政策的进一步完善,中职学校的相关工作也应该进一步加强。首先,要加强对资助工作的组织领导。其次,各中职学校应根据自身条件,制定出发放国家助学金的具体办法,并努力挖掘内部力量,形成"助、奖、勤、免、补、捐、贷"为一体的资助体系。同时,结合"加大对资助政策的宣传力度;实行弹性学制,完成工学结合;重视对贫困生的心理辅导和教育;为贫困生提供就业和家庭脱贫信息服务"等方法做好贫困生资助工作。     

中国传统知识论问题意识之定位

在中国哲学的当代研究中,知识论课题是一个较少被触碰的领域,关键原因在于传统中国哲学的知识论问题特征并不明显,同时也是因为知识论这个哲学基本问题的概念有歧义。本文从厘清西方哲学知识论的特质和类别入手,立足于哲学基本问题意识思考中国哲学知识论的阐释方式,重点不在深入中国哲学的知识论理论并对之提出意见,而是企图针对中国哲学的知识论课题作出问题意识的定位,说明中国哲学的知识论问题与西方哲学的知识论问题的关系是问题意识相似而具体特质不同,其本身的特色和重点是实践的人生哲学,应以此特质建构出属于中国哲学的知识论系统。
