盖棺论定“论”难定:张之洞之死的舆论反应

历史人物的生死,一般是人物研究的起点和终点。实则对于历史人物的盖棺论定,由于各自的立场观念差异,往往形成罗生门式的演义,可以成为新的研究主题。野史不著作者的《张文襄公事略》,经考查,其实是张之洞死后不久,上海的《新闻报》、《申报》、《时报》、《神州日报》、《民吁日报》等报所刊发的报道、悼念及评论文章(包括译载《文汇报》、《字林报》、《泰晤士报》等外报)的汇编。编纂者有一定的取舍标准和编排调整,但未作删改,可见各报对于张之洞一生具体功过是非看法的千差万别。参照该书所引各报未收入的其他相关报道评论,以及该书未引各报的报道评论,不仅可以探究编纂者的态度倾向,而且可以将张之洞之死作为研究的起点,观察舆论的反应,深究各方的态度,进而考察重要人物的离去所引起的政局和社会波动。     

Long‐term Outcomes for Children with Early Language Problems: Beating the Odds

Using the 1970 British Cohort Study, this study examines factors promoting positive language development and subsequent successful education and employment transitions among children showing early receptive language problems (age 5). We find that 61 per cent of children with early receptive language problems develop into competent readers by age 10. Factors promoting positive language development include parental support and more importantly a good school environment, characterised by only few children receiving remedial help. Post‐16 education and employment experiences indicated competent reading to be associated with a less challenging journey into adulthood. Findings are discussed in terms of their policy implications.     

An exploratory study of basic income fidelity index

There is growing interest in adopting basic income as a new social protection policy in many countries. South Korea is no exception. There have been heated discussions on the benefits and costs of adopting basic income as a universal income support program among policy makers and academics in South Korea. However, one of the problems in the discourse of basic income discussion in South Korea has been a lack of clear definition of basic income. In this study, we develop a basic income fidelity index (BIFI) that can be applied to basic income programs to show how fully a program fits to the basic income concept. Such an index can be useful in making the terminologies and concepts of basic income clearer. We test feasibility of BIFI by applying it to four different case examples of basic income; Alaska Permanent Fund, UK Child Trust Fund, Switzerland’s Basic Income Plan, and Finland’s Basic Income Experiment. We show BIFI can be a useful tool to differentiate various types of basic income. It can be also used to identify strengths and weaknesses of a basic income scheme.     

How do journalists leverage Twitter? Expressive and consumptive use of Twitter

This study examined factors that affect journalists’ Twitter use behaviors based on the framework of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). A survey of Korean journalists supported that TPB is a useful theoretical framework for understanding journalists’ Twitter use behaviors. This study found that three TPB variables – positive attitudes, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control – are positively associated with journalists’ general Twitter use (i.e., time spent using Twitter). More importantly, beyond looking at journalists’ general Twitter use, this study expands the literature by distinguishing between expressive Twitter use (e.g., tweeting messages) and consumptive Twitter use (e.g., reading others’ tweets). Results showed that journalists’ attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral controls were associated differently depending on patterns of expressive and consumptive Twitter usage. Given the role of professional journalists in society, their ways of using Twitter may have a profound impact on the ecology of journalism. Contributing to the literature of the theory of planned behavior by extending its explanatory power to professional journalists’ Twitter usage, the results of this study suggest that future research on journalists’ Twitter use should pay more attention to how Twitter is employed within the journalistic context.     

科研腐败成因分析及防治对策研究——基于20个案例的统计分析

随着我国科研投入的不断增大,科研腐败也越来越成为人们关注的问题.文章通过选取近年来关于科研腐败犯罪的20个真实案例,从犯罪主体、行为分析和惩治情况等案例特征进行实证分析,得出科研腐败的原因主要是主体身份为犯罪提供掩护,司法弹性过大,监管制度不合理等,并提出通过完善预防机制,加强项目过程自律管理,健全事后追责机制等措施防治科研腐败行为.     

后方法理论视角下“成果法”与“写长法”教学模式对比研究

基于后方法理论的指导,就“成果法”和“写长法”这两种不同的教学模式对不同写作水平的大学英语学习者所产生的影响进行了对比实验研究.研究发现,尽管教学方法本身并无孰优孰劣之分,“成果法”与“写长法”都能一定程度上提高不同写作水平受试者的成绩,但是“写长法”对于不同写作水平受试者的效果显著优于“成果法”.     

The Effect of Globalization on Financial Development in the MENA Region

This paper provides new evidence that sheds light on the effect of globalization on financial development using data from 9 MENA countries over the period 1991?C2007. The empirical results based on the Panel-data Vector Autoregression and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares methods reveal that globalization affects financial development and economic growth in the MENA region while globalization does not play any role in institutional reforms, which promote financial development and economic growth. Hence, governments can play a crucial role in improving the necessary economic conditions for the benefits of globalization to be felt in the MENA region. Also institutional reform policies can be important for policy makers who are attempting to accelerate globalization and financial development.     

Social Bookmarking–Repository–Networking: Possibilities for Support of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Abstract

Social bookmarking, repositories, networking, and other Web 2.0 technologies have the capacity to engage enormous numbers of ordinary people in networking, sharing, and working with digital resources. The Faculty of Education at The University of Hong Kong has been pioneering new educational applications. Through grants from the University we have developed a social bookmarking and repository system based on Web 2.0 ideas. RISAL—Repository of Interactive Social Assets for Learning has an unrealized potential to support teaching and learning at the University level. It is designed to facilitate and encourage sharing and collaboration of teachers and students with similar interests or learning foci across levels and programs. This form of learning support builds on and encourages the Web 2.0 culture of social networking and contribution of the individual to the community. In addition, the system is designed to incorporate compliance with Hong Kong's Copyright Ordinance (Creative Commons). The authors discuss the RISAL and describe its features and benefits that this system can offer to teaching and learning.     

Good Passages, Bad Passages

This chapter explores the relation between subjectivities, materialities (including technological arrangements) and bodily competencies. Starting from the assumption that all material and bodily arrangements are specific, it considers some of those specificities, and the 'passages' through which these specific arrangements are fitted together for a particular person, Liv, who is physically disabled. It explores the character of some of Liv's 'passages'—some are 'good', some 'bad', some public, and some discrediting—and the ways in which they are shaped to produce personal and biographical continuity and relative autonomy for her—an autonomy and capacity discretionary decision making which she highly values. The paper thus uses some of the tools developed in the actor-network approach, but also in feminism, to interpret the material and corporeal relations involved in the formation of contemporary subjectivities.
