朝向一种韦伯式政治经济学 ———对于韦伯现代国家与经济发展论述的初步考察

基于韦伯政治评论文章与社会学理论论述,文章分析了韦伯思想对现代国家经济功能的论述,即一方面要以民族最高利益为考量做出最终的决策,另一方面要提供某种社会正义的前提。文章认为,韦伯的国家观不仅建立在民族或文化的概念之上,也不仅强调了国家垄断暴力手段的强制性方面,而且建立在一个历史演进的视角之上,即现代资本主义所带来的自由、独立、创新等经济心态和道德规范,以及志愿性的社会组织原则,从而在韦伯有关国家与经济发展的论述中提出了＂社会＂这一层次,为进一步建立韦伯的国家社会学或者有关国家经济政策的某种政治经济学提供了理论的起点。     

《菉竹山房》与中国古典文学传统

相较于社会剖析小说流派的其他作家,吴组缃无论是从创作方式还是艺术审美趣味上都与中国古典文学传统有着更为深刻的精神联系。从文以载道的观念与中和之美,讲故事的传统与客观化的展现以及独具民族风格、民族气魄的艺术表现手段等方面探讨《菉竹山房》在内容和形式上对古典文学艺术的现代传承无疑对当代文学的发展和作家的创作有重要的启示作用。

Making Sense of Meta-Analysis: A Critique of “Effectiveness of Long-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy”

Evidence-based practice depends in part on knowledge derived from relevant research. For any given topic, there are likely to be many, potentially relevant studies; a careful appraisal and synthesis of the results of these studies is needed to understand the state of the empirical evidence. Meta-analysis is widely used to combine results of quantitative studies; yet this method is unfamiliar to many people and, as a result, meta-analyses are often uncritically accepted. In this article, we argue that meta-analysis is only one component of a good research synthesis. We critique a recent metaanalysis on the effectiveness of long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy, showing that this metaanalysis failed to meet current standards for the conduct and reporting of systematic research reviews and meta-analyses. We demonstrate the use of AMSTAR, a straightforward tool for assessing the quality of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.     

Internationale Mobilit?t und soziale Selektivit?t: Ausma?, Mechanismen und Entwicklung herkunftsspezifischer Unterschiede zwischen 1990 und 2005

In the course of educational expansion social inequalities in access to upper secondary education declined, while the differences in transition to tertiary education increased. In the light of these changes the assumption arises, that the patterns of social selectivity in access to higher education have changed. While in the past status maintenance was mainly due to differences in access to higher education, today it is to a greater extent a question of kind and place of study. Because of the growing importance of international experience for labour market success, students of privileged classes might increasingly opt to study abroad in order to preserve their privileged position. Drawing on a series of panel-datasets of upper secondary graduates in Germany, we estimate the extent and development of social differences in international mobility behaviour between 1990 and 2005, and apply a decomposition method in order to single out the underlying processes and mechanisms. We find remarkable social differences in the intention as well as in the decision to study at a foreign university. Students from privileged classes more often decide to study abroad, while students from underprivileged classes stay close to their hometown. These differences can partly be explained by school performance, language skills, social costs and institutional differences. Furthermore we find that these differences have rather increased than decreased.     

Neurobiology and the Therapeutic Action of Psychoanalytic Play Therapy with Children

This paper presents neurobiological aspects of the therapeutic action of psychoanalytic play therapy. The author contends that play integrates diverse modes of neural processing because of its inherently enactive and verbal nature. Admixtures of new and familiar self/other configurations emerge, simultaneously shaping and fostering integration of procedural and declarative modes of experience. Complex self-other configurations develop in play therapy because of its intrinsic integration of multiple experiential modes. The paper includes an illustration of play treatment with a boy who presented with a disorganized attachment pattern, an attendant deficit in affect regulation, and who manifested frank psychotic symptomatology.     

Age-Related Changes in Emotion Recognition: How,Why, and How Much of a Problem?

Isaacowitz and Stanley review age differences in facial emotion recognition, an ability tied to effective socioemotional functioning but often marked by age-related decline. They highlight major findings from the past decade and conclude that age-related declines exist but are least pronounced for positive relative to negative emotions. They discuss possible motivational and structural explanations for this positivity effect, and they describe future research avenues for evaluating age-related differences in more ecologically valid contexts. In this commentary, we discuss each of these topics. We state that many complexities that arise when interpreting age differences are similar to issues raised by emotion scholars who have studied intrapersonal and interpersonal processes outside of the developmental literature. We argue that theoretical and methodological lessons gained from these emotion scholars would provide insight to interpret current findings and direct future research in life-span development.     

Strategic versus non-strategic voting power in the EU Council of Ministers: the consultation procedure

This article evaluates the distribution of power within the Council of the European Union from the a priori perspective of constitutional design using two distinct approaches: (1) applying traditional voting power indices; (2) carrying out strategic equilibrium analysis of the EU’s consultation procedure. It clarifies why both approaches lead to different power indications, and investigates the determinants of the differences’ magnitudes. Depending on one’s assumptions about behavior of the consultation procedure’s agenda setter, the European Commission, traditional indices turn out to deliver a good approximation also of relative strategic power in the Council.     

新疆维吾尔族桑皮纸的研究与应用

本文对新疆维吾尔族桑皮纸的历史、维吾尔族民间制作工艺和应用等情况进行了探索性研究。桑皮纸在新疆非常古老,历史很久远,而新疆的桑皮纸历代生产以和田地区为中心,古老的和田孕育了悠久的桑皮纸历史文化和民间制作工艺技术。桑皮纸最大特点是结实而有韧性、柔嫩、防虫、拉力强、不褪色、吸水力强,主要用于书画装裱、包扎纸币、制伞、包装、制鞭炮,此外,还被用在印钱、制扇、印刷书籍等文化工艺生产活动中。
