后现代语境下的"写文化"与"写文化之后"

80年代 ,人类学曾经出现了一个引人注目的“写文化”大论争 ,其代表就是《写文化 :民族志的诗学和政治学》与《作为文化批评的人类学 :一个人文学科的实验时代》。其核心问题就是民族志写作中的修辞、叙事的政治和策略等 ,对传统民族志提出反思和挑战。之后 ,一些人类学家鉴于“写文化”基本只是提出问题 ,却没有提供答案 ,于 1998年结集出版了《写文化之后 :当代人类学的认识论和实践》 ,试图提出一些可能的方案。反观“写文化”和“写文化之后” ,我们可以看到一些对人类学理论和实践发展具有深刻意义的方面。     

中国城市化发展进程的思考

城市化是一个国家或地区走向现代化的重要内容。我国要在2020年实现全面小康社会的奋斗目标以及本世纪中叶基本实现现代化,必须加快城市化步伐。而作为世界上人口最多、特别是农村人口占绝对比重的发展中国家,如何落实科学发展观,选择一条适合中国国情的城市化发展道路,对中国目前乃至未来经济社会的可持续发展必将产生重要而深远的影响。     

A visualization method measuring the performance of biomarkers for guiding treatment decisions

Biomarkers that predict efficacy and safety for a given drug therapy become increasingly important for treatment strategy and drug evaluation in personalized medicine. Methodology for appropriately identifying and validating such biomarkers is critically needed, although it is very challenging to develop, especially in trials of terminal diseases with survival endpoints. The marker‐by‐treatment predictiveness curve serves this need by visualizing the treatment effect on survival as a function of biomarker for each treatment. In this article, we propose the weighted predictiveness curve (WPC). Based on the nature of the data, it generates predictiveness curves by utilizing either parametric or nonparametric approaches. Especially for nonparametric predictiveness curves, by incorporating local assessment techniques, it requires minimum model assumptions and provides great flexibility to visualize the marker‐by‐treatment relationship. WPC can be used to compare biomarkers and identify the one with the highest potential impact. Equally important, by simultaneously viewing several treatment‐specific predictiveness curves across the biomarker range, WPC can also guide the biomarker‐based treatment regimens. Simulations representing various scenarios are employed to evaluate the performance of WPC. Application on a well‐known liver cirrhosis trial sheds new light on the data and leads to discovery of novel patterns of treatment biomarker interactions.

Collective versus Individual Effects in Survival Analysis of Multiple Failures

In survival analysis, we sometimes encounter data with multiple censored outcomes. Under certain scenarios, partial or even all covariates have ‘similar’ relative risks on the multiple outcomes in the Cox regression analysis. The similarity in covariate effects can be quantified using the proportionality of regression coefficients. Identifying the proportionality structure, or equivalently whether covariates have individual or collective effects, may have important scientific implications. In addition, it can lead to a smaller set of unknown parameters, which in turn results in more accurate estimation. In this article, we develop a novel approach for identifying the proportionality structure. Simulation shows the satisfactory performance of the proposed approach and its advantage over estimation under no assumed structure. We analyse three datasets to demonstrate the practical application of the proposed approach.     

西周玉器的审美特征

西周玉器造型上仍保留了原始玉雕的特色,呈现平面化的倾向,它们以线为主,且内敛规整,尤其表现在动物型写实玉器中,成组佩玉也开始出现;纹饰上继承商代仍以阴刻线为主,但线条较商流畅婉转,一面坡纹和双勾线纹开始运用成熟,借助流畅而多变的线条表现出它的形神统一,气韵生动;风格上由祭祀型向礼仪性转化,因物赋形,因形饰纹,纹饰和造型之间搭配和谐自然,整体呈现出"错彩镂金"和"自然可爱"两种不同风格。在发展历程中,其神秘狂热、勇猛尚武的宗教文化印记逐渐被温文尔雅、中和静穆的人间礼乐文化所取代,对后世产生了深远的影响。     

购物中心的商户关系研究

本文基于共生理论尝试性的对购物中心内商户间的相互关系进行了研究,论文选取了竞争、寄生与互惠这三种主要关系进行分析,提出以服饰类和珠宝类商户为代表的同质商户存在着同业聚集的经济效应,这时的同业竞争相对经济效应而言属于次要地位;主力店的选择和自身所处的位置决定了寄生关系的存在与作用大小,一部分非主力店能够凭借自身的吸引力获得客流;在异质商户之间,消耗性生活便利品与超市具有高度互补性,另外百货店与衣服鞋类专卖店也具有高互补性;但是消耗性生活用品与百货店,专卖店与超市的互补性都较低。     

城市滨水旧住区问题分析及对策研究——以上海市长风新村街道沿河旧住区为例

一、引言 进入21世纪以来,城市滨水地区由于其悠久的发展历史、丰厚的文化底蕴和重要的城市区位,成为政府、公众和开发商关注的焦点,因此,滨水地带的复兴成为中国城市发展的中心议题之一.     

Labor force participation and juvenile delinquency in Taiwan: a time series analysis

This study examines the null hypothesis of Granger no-causality between labor force participation (LFP) and juvenile delinquency in Taiwan. In order to explore this issue more thoroughly, this study adopts the approach proposed by Toda and Yamamoto (1995, Journal of Econometrics, 66(1–2), 225–250). It uses official time-series data provided by the Government of Taiwan. After estimating both a four- and five-variable VAR system, one that substitutes both male and female LFP rates for the aggregate LFP rate, the primary findings of this study reveal the following: The higher the past juvenile crime rate, the lower the future aggregate and female LFP rate will be. In addition, the higher the past male LFP rate, the higher the future juvenile crime rate will be. These findings are quite robust in terms of different lag-length structures.

解苦以求安宁：韧性视角下老年人的临终生命质量探究

随着人口死亡模式的转变与老龄化进程的加快,老年人的临终生命质量已成为大众关注的社会问题。本研究参考“身心灵平衡”韧性整合模型构建分析框架,运用半结构式访谈法与实物分析法,深入探索影响老年人临终生命质量的风险性与保护性因素及其作用路径。研究指出,身体的衰弱与疾痛和心理的情绪困扰是老年临终生命质量的风险性因素,它们均会损害老年人原有的平衡状态,且身心二者的负面影响存在相互强化的作用;而内在的灵性能力和外在的社会支持作为保护性因素,能够帮助老年人增强死亡准备、重构生命状态。基于上述结论,研究从身心社灵四个维度重点讨论了社会工作介入老年安宁疗护的发展方向。     

欧盟民商事管辖权规则的嬗变——从《布鲁塞尔公约》到《布鲁塞尔条例》

欧盟的民商事管辖权规则经历了从《布鲁塞尔公约》到《布鲁塞尔条例》、《布鲁塞尔条例Ⅱ》和《布鲁塞尔条例Ⅱa》一个不断发展和完善的过程。在该过程中,欧盟所确立的直接国际管辖权制度从一般民商事领域延伸至特殊民商事领域,并以多种连结点作为确定管辖权的依据,而且,管辖权规则在立法形式上实现了由公约向条例的转变,强化了欧盟法的直接效力。
