明代前期宋史研究考论简

明代前期,周叙疏请重修宋史正式拉开了明代宋史研究的序幕。随后的宋史研究沿着官修和私撰两条路径展开。官修《续资治通鉴纲目》的竣成鼓舞士人以程朱理学为指导,从鉴戒的角度重新解读宋代史事,史著的教化色彩厚重。私修的宋人传记在前期的宋史研究成果中所占分量较重,为宋史的深入研究提供了重要史料;其中的理学传记致力于考述理学世系和渊源,揭示学术堂奥,在理学发展史上具有承前启后的重要作用。私修的宋史史论著述持论公允,晰理深刻,彰显了可贵的实学精神,是明代史学走向深层的突出表现。此期的私修活动得到明廷的重视,且为宋史研究的繁荣开创了局面。     

Do Demographic Characteristics Make a Difference to Burnout among Hong Kong Secondary School Teachers?

This study aims to investigate the relationship between teachers’ demographic variables and burnout in Hong Kong using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. It is found that when compared with the North American normative data, Hong Kong teachers scored in the average range of burnout in emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment while they scored in the low range of burnout in depersonalization. Gender differences were found in all three burnout syndromes, and teachers who were younger, unmarried, without religious beliefs, less experienced, without finishing professional training and of junior rank were more consistently burned out. Whereas age was the strongest predictor for emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, teachers’ rank is the best predictor for personal accomplishment. However, the effect of demographic characteristics of teachers on burnout is not that salient.     

TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION,TURBULENCE, AND THE DYNAMICS OF UNEMPLOYMENT

Starting in the late 1970s, European unemployment began to increase while US unemployment remained constant. At the same time, capital‐embodied technical change began to accelerate, and the United States adopted the new capital much faster than Europe. I argue that these two facts are related. The main idea is that if there is capital‐embodied technical change, then the unemployment rate depends critically on how obsolete the installed capital stock is compared to the frontier. In particular, European workers initially worked with relatively obsolete capital, and so they lacked the skills required to work with frontier capital. When they lost their jobs they therefore stayed unemployed for longer than their American counterparts. I find that this channel accounts for about 70% of the discrepancy between the behavior of unemployment rates in Europe and the United States.     

王国维传介西方伦理学述评

王国维是中国近代学术史上的大师,他在20世纪初期,通过翻译西学著作、撰写学术文章等多种途径和方式,对西方伦理学基本理论、近代资产阶级伦理学主要是英国资产阶级伦理学以及康德、叔本华为代表的德国伦理学作了较为全面、系统的传播、介绍。同时又在研究、吸收和借鉴的基础上,形成了自己重学术、轻政治,博观约取、心仪康叔,贯通中西、长于比较的治学特点,为中国近代伦理学的建构做出了重要贡献,不愧是中国近代伦理学史上睿智的先行者和开拓者。

家庭教育地方立法的实践探索与理性思考

我国的家庭教育地方立法属于创制型立法,具有探索性的特点,在界定家庭教育的内容、构建社会共治的责任体系、规定强制亲职教育、注重对特殊困境未成年人的帮扶、突出地方特色等方面进行了突破创新.在立法过程中对于家庭教育的定义、立法的性质、牵头部门的确定等难点问题存在着不同观点的争鸣.今后家庭教育立法应加强对父母教育权的尊重和保护,细化家庭教育指导服务的具体措施,增强立法的可操作性、避免立法重复.

Critical appraisal of jointness concepts in Bayesian model averaging: evidence from life sciences,sociology, and other scientific fields

Jointness is a Bayesian approach to capturing dependence among regressors in multivariate data. It addresses the general issue of whether explanatory factors for a given empirical phenomenon are complements or substitutes. I ask a number of questions about existing jointness concepts: Are the patterns revealed stable across datasets? Are results robust to prior choice and do data characteristics affect results? And importantly: What do the answers imply from a practical vista? The present study takes an applied, interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, validating jointness concepts on datasets across scientific fields with focus on life sciences (Parkinson's disease) and sociology. Simulations complement the study of real-world data. My findings suggest that results depend on which jointness concept is used: Some concepts deliver jointness patterns remarkably uniform across datasets, while all concepts are fairly robust to the choice of prior structure. This can be interpreted as critique of jointness from a practical perspective, given that the patterns revealed are at times very different and no concept emerges as overall advantageous. The composite indicators approach to combining information across jointness concepts is also explored, suggesting an avenue to facilitate the application of the concepts in future research.
