舞马:中国古代文学中的盛装舞步

中国古代的舞马与当今马术中的盛装舞步颇为相似。舞马自刘宋从西域传入建邺,于梁武帝和唐玄宗时掀起高潮,唐后在中土消失,舞马成为时代兴衰的一个缩影。中国历史上的舞马盛会规模宏大,其性质并非单一的娱乐活动,而是与宣扬皇朝圣德紧密相连。由于皇帝的奖掖和科举的推动,舞马盛会催生了数量众多的文学作品。这些作品,除杜甫和陆龟蒙的颇具批判性外,其余几乎为润色鸿业之作。     

THE EFFECTS OF AUTOMOBILE RECALLS ON THE SEVERITY OF ACCIDENTS

The number of automobile recalls in the United States has substantially increased over the last two decades, and after a record of over 30 million cars recalled in 2004, in the last few years it has consistently reached between 15 and 17 million, and in 2010 alone 20 million cars were recalled. Toyota's recall crisis in 2010 illustrates how recalls can affect a large number of American drivers and the defects connected to them can result in loss of life and serious accidents. However, in spite of the increase in public concern over recalls and the loss of property and life attached to them, there is no empirical evidence of the effect of vehicle recalls on safety. This paper investigates whether vehicle recalls reduce accidental harm measured by the severity of injuries in vehicle accidents. The results of our analysis show that if a recall for a new‐year model is issued, then the severity of injuries of accidents continuously diminishes during the first year after the recall, something we do not find among cars not subject to recalls. This is because defects are repaired over time but also because drivers react by driving more carefully until the defects are fixed. To minimize the losses attached to having dangerously defective cars on our roads, both quick and timely recall issuance are needed and more detailed information on defects should be delivered to owners of defective vehicles. The latter can be made possible through simple but important policy changes by the U.S. government regarding recall information sharing with drivers and insurance companies. (JEL L51, L62)     

A 9-Year Analysis of Bibliographical Trends for Journals in the Subject Category of General and Internal Medicine

For academic research outcomes, an important bibliometric scoring termed as the journal impact factor (JIF) is used when assessment of the quality of research is required. No known study has been conducted to explore the bibliographical trends of ‘Medicine, General & Internal’ journals indexed by the annual Journal Citation Reports. Data from the Journal Citation Reports and Web of Science database were extracted to formulate a comprehensive analysis. In this study, the trends of 15 journals (5 top ranked and 10 low ranked; 5 English and 5 non-English based) were selected and analysed over a 9-year period (starting from year 1999 to 2007). Using the year 1999 as the base year, the results showed that the JIF rose significantly for the selected top ranked journals (up to 180.9%) while the low ranked ones slipped in their JIF value (down to ?44.4%). The observed upward or downward trend was caused by a combination of other bibliographical measures like citations, number of citable, and total items published. It is postulated that changes in bibliographical trends can be classified as editorial and non-editorial influences. The impacts of these influences on the 15 selected journals over the 9-year period were also discussed retrospectively.     

马克思消费伦理思想及其时代意义

马克思对消费的论述完全符合消费伦理的主旨。解读《马克思恩格斯文集》可以看出,马克思消费伦理思想体现在以批判的方式把人本消费伦理思想贯穿于生态消费、生产消费、个人消费三大视域,建构了一个完整的消费伦理思想体系。而文本意义上的马克思消费伦理思想为当下消费态度、消费行为和消费方式的伦理评价提供了原生性指导理论和研判平台,对审视现代消费剥削、消费异化、消费自由等具有重要意义。     

荀子天人观的四重内涵

荀子所谓“天”,多属自然之天.在他看来,天生万物、天道奇妙,但天道自然,并无人格意志.而且天道与人道具有本质区别,人类应该做到“知天”与“不求知天”的辩证统一:一方面,人类缺乏足够能力,亦无必要,汲汲于解释天道运行的终极根源;另一方面,为了自身的福祉,人类必须充分发挥主观能动性,了解天道、顺应天道、利用天道.荀子有时也借天道的权威论证社会制度的合法性,为了强调礼制的作用,他甚至认为完善的人间礼制可以影响天道的运行,这显然与其天人相分的主体思想背道而驰.     

试析鄂豫皖革命根据地的灾荒救济工作——以1931年水灾为中心的考察

1931年江淮地区普遍遭遇大水灾,致使城乡民众生活窘迫,农村经济更处于破产的边缘,进而加剧了革命危机。在鄂豫皖革命根据地,中国共产党领导苏维埃政府积极开展救济工作,采取了施粥放粮、拨款救济、减免税收等一系列措施,从而一定程度上缓解了民众的生产和生活困难,并与国民党统治地区发生的严重灾荒形成了鲜明对照,从而进一步赢得了民众的支持,扩大了苏维埃政权的群众基础。

现代语境中的大学精神及其悖论

所谓“大学精神”是指现代意义上的大学所体现出来的理念及其文化内涵，它是现代性的产物，从教育与文化的内在联系看，教育担当着传承文化道统、开发人的潜能、塑造道德人格的使命。现代大学精神由于内在矛盾日益游离教育的这一人类学本体论意义，大学精神的悖论主要表现为科学精神与人文精神的冲突，整合与隔离的对立、“为人”与“为学”的分裂、目的性与手段性的矛盾。     

家庭资本对未成年人科学素养的影响——基于上海的实证研究

基于对上海市浦东新区年龄18岁以下在校中小学生及其父母2 000份问卷的抽样调查数据,使用普通ols回归建立模型,研究家庭资本对未成年人科学素养的影响,数据分析表明,父母人口学特征、教育程度、收入水平以及家庭结构等因素都不同程度地对未成年人科学素养产生了影响。需要在中小学校加强科学教育的基础上,针对贫困家庭的未成年人展开精准科普。     

回眸与反思:我国关于幼儿学习品质的研究

本研究对以往文献进行整理发现,幼儿学习品质研究的主题包括学习品质、学习过程、幼儿活动、游戏活动、坚持性等方面,幼儿学习品质的培养策略研究、影响因素研究是近年的研究热点。当前关于幼儿学习品质的研究已经取得显著成就,但是仍然存在诸多问题,根据对问题的分析笔者认为在未来的研究中要不断厘清幼儿学习品质的内涵、丰富幼儿学习品质研究的对象、形成多元化的研究方法、完善幼儿学习品质的理论研究、拓宽幼儿学习品质研究的研究视角。
