气候变化背景下的民族生态权利运动——以瑞典北博滕省卡拉克地区萨米人为例

在气候变化的背景下,随着北极地区气温的逐步升高,使得矿产资源等更易被开发和利用。这不仅带来生态环境问题,也对居住在这一地区的萨米人构成威胁和挑战,并对萨米人一百多年来的民族权利运动产生了影响。本文通过对瑞典北博滕省约克默克市卡拉克地区萨米人的调查,剖析了当代萨米人民族生态权利运动的背景、现状和未来发展趋势,提出在气候变化与土著民族的相关政策制定及研究中应当关注民族生态权利,只有当土著民族的民族生态权利保障框架清晰及其实施措施明确以后,才能更好地实现符合土著民族自身价值观的可持续发展。     

Patterns In Discourse About Elderly People In New Zealand

As the number of senior citizens continues to rise, their public profile will grow and political discussion about their future will become increasingly prominent. The present research was designed to approach such debate by providing an assay of naturally occurring data drawn from the New Zealand Royal Commission on Social Policy (1986–1988). Public submissions to the Royal Commission on the specific subject of senior citizens were extracted and examined from a discourse analytic perspective. The results obtained by two independent analyses showed three patterns of discourse, namely, society's obligations to senior citizens, anti-ageism, and old age as a positive resource. This troika of discourse patterns constitute a collective voice through which senior citizens and their supporters defend and advocate the social position of senior citizens.

Between a ROC and a hard place: Teaching prevalence plots to understand real world biomarker performance in the clinic

The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the ROC curve are widely used in discovery to compare the performance of diagnostic and prognostic assays. The ROC curve has the advantage that it is independent of disease prevalence. However, in this note, we remind scientists and clinicians that the performance of an assay upon translation to the clinic is critically dependent upon that very same prevalence. Without an understanding of prevalence in the test population, even robust bioassays with excellent ROC characteristics may perform poorly in the clinic. While the exact prevalence in the target population is not always known, simple plots of candidate assay performance as a function of prevalence rate give a better understanding of the likely real‐world performance and a greater understanding of the likely impact of variation in that prevalence on translation to the clinic.

《钢琴教师》中的性与权力

耶利内克的《钢琴教师》一书具有强烈的女性主义倾向。以性为主题,作品表达了对父权社会的反抗。性,作为折射社会权力结构的一面镜子,被提升到政治、文化的高度。同时,作为潜话语隐藏在叙事中的,依然是女性追寻平等而真实的爱情这一传统主题。     

Peakedness for weighted sums of symmetric random variables

In this paper, we provide sufficient conditions on weighted coefficients under which the peakedness comparison between weighted sums of independent random variables can be carried out. These results extend and enrich the existing peakedness results in the literature including those presented by Proschan (1965) and Ma (1998).
