试论越剧前身"落地唱书"的语言特色和文化内涵

越剧前身"落地唱书"是民间的说唱曲种,解放后,"落地唱书"的艺人寥若晨星,又没有文字脚本,大部分书目都已经失传.本文由张继舜同志整理出的<落地唱书>为全部语料,唱书基本上直接使用嵊州农民的口头语言,生动幽默,俗而不粗,语汇丰富,表现力强,这显然与其独特的语言魅力分不开的.同时,品评这些说唱,我们也可以深刻地了解并领悟到他们背后蕴涵着的文化内涵.本文正是从语言特色和文化内涵两方面对"落地唱书"进行分析阐发的.

基于国际比较视角的青岛市住房发展策略研究

20世纪90年代以来,青岛市城市住房建设快速发展,随之而来的是人口无序集聚、交通拥堵、环境污染、住房保障不足等"城市病"。众多国际性城市为解决"城市病"逐渐探索形成了较为典型的解决措施,如"多中心城市建设"、"公私分离的保障房建设"和"生态城市建设"等。借鉴住房建设的国际趋势,结合青岛市情,从住房布局、住房结构、生态城市、财政政策等多个方面提出了具有针对性的发展策略,促进了青岛市住房建设的可持续发展。     

元末士大夫的舆论批评及其蕴涵的时代意义

在元末社会危机滋生蔓延之际,一些士大夫高举道义大旗,抱道忤时,慷慨自陈,对元末统治者的骄奢淫逸,官吏的贪纵暴虐,黎民的颠危悲苦,世风的颓败浇薄等重要社会问题,进行了激烈的批评和深刻的揭露.这些基于现实体悟的舆论批评不仅生动再现了元末错综复杂的社会问题,充分反映了士大夫忧国伤时、扶衰救危的经世意识和忧患意识,而且进一步彰显了社会舆论的批判对于社会政治秩序的价值和意义.     

Identity and Self-Presentation in the House/Ball Culture: A Primer for Social Workers

Members of the house/ball subculture, a segment of the population of young men and transgendered people of color who have sex with men in the United States, are examined in relationship to self-identity and presentation. To enhance cultural awareness and understanding for helping professionals, historical backdrop, categories of identity, theoretical applications, and insight concerning the social network and fluidity of self within the house/ball community are described and examined. Case illustrations demonstrate the importance of cultural competence concerning this marginalized population, especially when considering HIV prevention and care, health disparities, violence, and poverty.     

论宪法人性尊严的人像模式——兼论我国宪法人像之重构

法秩序中的所有问题最终都将归诸于其中的人像.宪法人性尊严的人像主要包括个人主义和人格主义的人像.我国既有宪法的人像继受了前苏联宪法的团体主义模式.当下"以人为本 "的提出与践行为重构我国宪法的人像提供了契机,我国宪法未来的人像应当以人格主义为借镜超越个人主义和团体主义人像的束缚.     

名教内自有乐地——张华会通玄儒研究

张华作为西晋太康诗风重要作家,是当时能够比较好地会通儒学、玄理于政治生活实践的代表人物之一。否定张华并蓄儒道的人格与政治表现违背实际政治形势,并非公允之论。张华之死间接原因其实死于“国事”,精神内质类似于嵇康对名教的执著。他玄儒兼治的入世言行,与其他苟且随时的名士们不可同世而论。张华在兼治玄儒的道路上如乐广所言专注名教之内,与“为而不争”的玄学意识互为表里,提供了“崇有”论哲学重新展开探索的实践平台,把名教与自然的调和推向了郭象玄学的理想境界。     

Pay comparability in state governments

Earnings differentials between state government and private industry employees are estimated for each state using 1990 Census data. Female employees in most state governments receive higher earnings than comparable private sector employees, whereas the opposite result applies to males. However, the size of the state government earnings advantage or penalty is not uniform across states for either sex. The relative earnings of state employees increase with their membership in unions and with the revenues generated by state government’s tax and financing policies.     

Dynamic Supply Risk Management with Signal‐Based Forecast,Multi‐Sourcing,and Discretionary Selling

We examine the critical role of advance supply signals—such as suppliers’ financial health and production viability—in dynamic supply risk management. The firm operates an inventory system with multiple demand classes and multiple suppliers. The sales are discretionary and the suppliers are susceptible to both systematic and operational risks. We develop a hierarchical Markov model that captures the essential features of advance supply signals, and integrate it with procurement and selling decisions. We characterize the optimal procurement and selling policy, and the strategic relationship between signal‐based forecast, multi‐sourcing, and discretionary selling. We show that higher demand heterogeneity may reduce the value of discretionary selling, and that the mean value‐based forecast may outperform the stationary distribution‐based forecast. This work advances our understanding on when and how to use advance supply signals in dynamic risk management. Future supply risk erodes profitability but enhances the marginal value of current inventory. A signal of future supply shortage raises both base stock and demand rationing levels, thereby boosting the current production and tightening the current sales. Signal‐based dynamic forecast effectively guides the firm's procurement and selling decisions. Its value critically depends on supply volatility and scarcity. Ignoring advance supply signals can result in misleading recommendations and severe losses. Signal‐based dynamic supply forecast should be used when: (a) supply uncertainty is substantial, (b) supply‐demand ratio is moderate, (c) forecast precision is high, and (d) supplier heterogeneity is high.
