The Technologisation of Childhood? Young Children and Technology in the Home

We describe an 18-month empirical investigation of three- and four-year-old children's uses of technology at home, based on a survey of 346 families and 24 case studies. The findings are reported in the context of social commentators' anxieties about the ways in which childhood is being transformed by technology. Although we report evidence of some parental disquiet about the role of technology in children's lives, we illustrate some of the complexities in families' attitudes to, and uses of, technology and conclude that it is not perceived by parents to be the threat to modern childhood that is claimed.

Changes in Risk Perceptions Prospectively Predict Changes in Self‐Reported Speeding

Risk perception theories posit that changes in risk perception prompt subsequent changes in risk behavior. Prospective studies using observations made at three time‐points offer the capacity to test this hypothesis by observing sequential changes in both risk perceptions and behavior. A telephone survey was administered by random‐digit dialing to 255 adult Australian drivers at baseline (T1), 6 weeks (T2), and 14 weeks (T3). During weeks 2–5, a risk‐perception‐based anti‐speeding mass media campaign was conducted. The survey assessed risk perception, operationalized as the proportion of time that driving at 70 km/h (43 mph) was perceived to be dangerous, and self‐reported speeding behavior, defined as the frequency of respondents driving 5 km (3 mph) faster than the legal speed limit in built up areas. Higher T2 risk perception predicted lower T3 self‐reports of speeding after controlling T1 risk perception and T1 and T2 self‐reported speeding. This can be interpreted as changes in risk perceptions between T1 and T2 predicting changes in speeding between T2 and T3. Further analyses showed that increases in risk perception predicted lower subsequent self‐reported speeding changes, but decreases in risk perception were unrelated to those changes. Risk perception changes were unrelated to recall of exposure to the media campaign. These findings support a dynamic view of the relationship between risk perception and self‐reported behavior, and that risk perception theories can be applied to speeding.     

文化认同中一个被忽视了的问题:阶级关系与两性关系

为揭开阶级关系与两性关系及文化认同之间的联系,本文将就泰国曼谷两代华人中产阶级在文化认同方面和两性关系方面的变迁及相同之处进行分析.两性关系与阶级关系是理解民族界限和文化认同形成的关键;泰国华人中产阶级对中国和泰国的文化认同,受到其阶级地位和双重道德标准的影响;中产阶级的尊严是通过两性特有的方式来表达的.曼谷两代华人的男子汉气概和女性气质发生了变化,但是代与代之间的转型未必都是进步的.

Proposed best practice for statisticians in the reporting and publication of pharmaceutical industry‐sponsored clinical trials

In this paper we set out what we consider to be a set of best practices for statisticians in the reporting of pharmaceutical industry‐sponsored clinical trials. We make eight recommendations covering: author responsibilities and recognition; publication timing; conflicts of interest; freedom to act; full author access to data; trial registration and independent review. These recommendations are made in the context of the prominent role played by statisticians in the design, conduct, analysis and reporting of pharmaceutical sponsored trials and the perception of the reporting of these trials in the wider community.

多方发挥物理实验教学的职能作用

当前我国医学教育中物理实验教学存在弱点:对物理教育不重视,实验条件差,仪器、设备陈旧,实验选项过时,实验课时少.针对存在的问题及现状,在现有的条件之内,我们提出了物理实验课的改进措施:认真做好实验准备,发挥教师的主导作用,督查学生亲自动手,利用现有仪器设备,不断改善实验条件,重视教学情况的反馈信息.     

从“乌台诗案”看苏氏兄弟的出版活动

从出版史的角度看 ,“乌台诗案”是以印本书的盛行为文化背景的 ;《钱塘集》的雕印刊行是北宋中期民间出版空前活跃的表现 ,也反映了印刷出版业初步繁荣阶段管理上的失控 ;遭受诗祸的苏轼、苏辙深刻反思了他们的著述与出版活动 ,这是苏辙生前未刊行其集子的重要原因。元年间 ,“痛定思痛”的苏轼、苏辙在外事活动中均遇到了宋朝书籍外流的问题 ,这一现象激发他们对政府的出版管理政策进行认真的思考 ,并提出一些建议
