白苗话的调变和变调(下)

(2·2)类推变调一个迄今只发现了八个词的小小的词类有这种类推变调,这个词类叫方位词,它们只出现在名词性短语中名词的前面或在指示词的前面。在下面的例子中,方位词前面都有动词y~1‘在’或 mu~4‘去’:y~1 pe~7 o~1‘在山上’,y~1 o~7 o~2‘在桌子上’,y~1 na~7 ha~3‘在谷下’,y~1y ti~7 o~4‘在山上(对面,同一水平)’,mu~4 t~7 kh~5‘去赶场(有一段距离,但在同一水平)’,mu~1nt ke~3‘走在路上(附近或在前面)’,mu~4 tshai~7te~1‘到山上的地里去’(在山的背面)。     

Consumption and its discontents: addiction, identity and the problems of freedom

The focus of this paper is on the notion of 'addictive consumption', conceived as a set of discourses that are embedded within wider socio-historical processes of governance and control. It examines the discursive convergences and conflicts between practices of consumption and notions of addiction, which it notes are consistently represented in terms of the oppositional categories of self-control vs. compulsion and freedom vs. determinism. These interrelations are explored with reference to the development of notions of addiction, and their relation to shifting configurations of identity, subjectivity and governance. Finally, it suggests that the notion of 'addiction' has particular valence in advanced liberal societies, where an unprecedented emphasis on the values of freedom, autonomy and choice not only encourage the conditions for its proliferation into ever wider areas of social life, but also reveal deep tensions within the ideology of consumerism itself.     

A new approach in vocational rehabilitation in Iceland: preliminary report

The lack of vocational rehabilitation in Iceland inspired the Janus Rehabilitation initiative in the year 2000. The team currently consists of two occupational therapists, a social worker, a physiotherapist, a psychologist, and a physician. Janus uses resources from local education establishments and is located at the Reykjavík Technical School. A client-centred approach is used, enabling a flexible rehabilitation timeframe. The aim is to help the client back to employment/education. Advantage is taken of the facilities of the school where integration between education and rehabilitation takes place. Forty individuals have been admitted, with a mean time from work of 2.9 years, (range: 0-11 years). Seventeen (43%) have returned to employment/education. Twenty-three of those entering the programme are still on invalidity pension. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measurement (COPM) shows improvement in occupational performance and satisfaction. The Icelandic Quality of Life measurement also shows improvement. The results have been promising. However, a larger group is needed in order to draw clear unequivocal conclusions.     

Cognitive-behavioral treatment for adolescents who sexually offend and their families: individual and family applications in a collaborative outpatient program

This article describes an outpatient treatment program for adolescent sexual abusers that was established by a mental health agency in collaboration with a specialized probation program in the juvenile court. Individualized treatment is based on a comprehensive clinical assessment with the youth and guardian, for which examples are provided. Given the heterogeneity of this population, we describe several treatment strategies directed to various individual or family clinical targets, including psychiatric disorders, sexual deviance and sexuality, normal adolescent development and adaptive skills, and parent and family relationships. Ongoing collaborative and coordination issues are also reviewed. The integration of mental health and probationary services provides a balanced approach to the community management and treatment of the low-risk, primarily first-time, adolescent sexual offender.     

Artificial neural networks and center-of-pressure modeling: a practical method for sensorimotor-degradation assessment

Numerous methods for studying the prevention of falls and age-related sensorimotor degradation have been proposed and tested. Some approaches are too impractical to use with seniors or too expensive for practitioners. Practitioners desire a simple, reliable technique. The goals of this research were to develop such an approach and to apply it in exploring the effect of Tai Chi on age-related sensorimotor degradation. The method employed artificial-neural-network (ANN) models trained by using individuals' center-of-pressure (COP) measurements and age. Ninety-six White and Chinese adults without Tai Chi training were tested. In contrast, a third group, Chinese seniors with Tai Chi training, was tested to ascertain any influence from Tai Chi on sensorimotor aging. This study supported ANN technology with COP data as a feasible tool in the exploration of sensorimotor degradation and demonstrated that Tai Chi slowed down the effects of sensorimotor aging.

Mitochondrial abnormalities and oxidative imbalance in neurodegenerative disease

An increasing body of evidence now suggests the involvement of mitochondrial abnormalities in the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer disease. In this Perspective, we describe a recent study that shows that treatment of human patients with the antioxidant coenzyme Q(10'), which functions in concert with certain mitochondrial enzymes, reduced the worsening of symptoms associated with PD. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a role in the pathogenesis of PD and that treatments that target mitochondrial biochemistry might ameliorate the functional decline observed in patients suffering from PD.
