产城融合发展与城镇化效率提升的互动机制及实现途径

产城融合发展与城镇化效率提升作为新型城镇化进程中的重要问题备受关注,而如何实现二者的互动则更为重要,这关系未来我国城镇化整体的运行质量。基于此,笔者通过对产城融合发展与城镇化效率提升的互动机制进行诠释,从有产无城与城镇化高成本并存、有城无产与城镇化低收益并存、产城割裂与城镇化低效率并存三大层面分析了产城融合发展与城镇化效率提升相互影响中的突出问题,并据此提出加大产业结构转型升级,增强城镇化经济力,完善城镇配套功能,鼓励发展新兴产业及强化城镇化中的市场化建设等实现产城融合发展与城镇化效率提升的互动实现途径。

作为新型城镇化的发展模式之一,就地城镇化是促进乡村振兴、推动城乡一体化发展的重要途径。为了更好地了解就地城镇化的实践效果以及农民的就业转型出路,以宝坻周良水苑小区作为研究对象,从就业、收入和生活等多角度深入分析就地城镇化发展中农民就业转型的路径、去向、行业分布、单位类型、收入现状以及影响因素等,以期为探索新型城镇化发展与乡村振兴进程中的相关问题提供经验借鉴。     

Closure property of consistently varying random variables based on precise large deviation principles

Let X = {X₁, X₂, …} be a sequence of independent but not necessarily identically distributed random variables, and let η be a counting random variable independent of X. Consider randomly stopped sum S_η = ∑^η_{k = 1}X_k and random maximum S_(η) ? max?{S₀, …, S_η}. Assuming that each X_k belongs to the class of consistently varying distributions, on the basis of the well-known precise large deviation principles, we prove that the distributions of S_η and S_(η) belong to the same class under some mild conditions. Our approach is new and the obtained results are further studies of Kizinevi?, Sprindys, and ?iaulys (2016) and Andrulyt?, Manstavi?ius, and ?iaulys (2017).     

Intergenerational relationships in Chinese transnational families: A typology study

ABSTRACT

Using latent class analysis, this study examined the overall patterns of multifaceted intergenerational relationships of 604 parent-child dyads in 292 transnational families in Beijing, China. Three family relation types emerged: local obligatory (27%, with reciprocal support and ambivalent feelings), distant discordant (27%, with weak associations and high conflict), and distant intimate (46%, with highest filial ratings and emotional quality). Parents’ health and children’s marital status, socioeconomic status, childcare responsibilities, and sibling numbers were associated with different relation types. The findings are helpful for social workers to identify subgroups of older adults in transnational families who are at risk of having inadequate support.     

Culturally responsive teaching in China: instructional strategy and teachers’ attitudes

The aim of this study was to investigate the manner in which teachers facilitate the pedagogical process within a culturally diverse student population. The study focused on two primary schools in China; one located in a more fully developed city in eastern China (Case A), while the other was in a less developed city in rural western China (Case B). This allowed the researchers to compare and analyse the different instructional practices by means of semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. The findings indicate that: the teachers in Case A demonstrated overall affirmative attitudes towards ethnic minority cultures, as well as towards the students belonging to those cultures. However, the teachers also chose not to mention the specific ethnic identities and cultural differences of the students during the course of their instruction in order to ensure equal treatment for everyone. This leads to a kind of ‘cultural blindness’ in the classroom. In Case B, opinions regarding minority cultures were more varied. Compared with the teachers in Case A, more teachers in Case B found minority cultures to be inferior to the dominant Han culture. Some teachers also, counter intuitively, were of the opinion that the minority cultures were even superior. At the instructional level, school leadership developed courses on local culture and ethnicity for the teaching staff. This was done for a variety of reasons. The strongest evidence to support culturally responsive teaching in Case A does not stem from teaching and learning demands but from the necessity to pursue characteristics that make them distinctive from other schools at the same time, Case B’s practice of culturally responsive teaching was strongly supported by the government and UNICEF. Teachers in both schools indicated that they had integrated their knowledge of ethnic minority groups into the subject matter when it was necessary.     

让大学成为学生的精神家园——刍议大学人文教育

目前,中国学者关于大学人文教育现状及后果的研究与思考方兴未艾。大学人文教育是对一种全面发展的理想人格的肯定和塑造。大学培养人才应该关注其在学识、道德和美感的全面实现。完善大学人文教育是高校教育体制改革的一个标本兼治的方向,具有现实的针对性和迫切性。应使大学生"精神成人",让大学成为学生的精神家园。     

语料库在医学英语词汇教学中的应用

让语料库说话已经成为了语言学界的一个共识,真实的语料结合理性的分析不仅是语言研究也是英语词汇学习的重要 途径。语料库在医学英语词汇教学中有着巨大的潜力,通过语料库检索软件,引导学生对真实自然的语料进行按部就班的分 析、模仿、学习、应用,可以在很大程度上提升医学英语的词汇学习效率。     

人口流动对基督教全球传播的影响

基督教流动人口是基督教在全球传播过程中的关键因素。在基督教存在的前五个世纪,广泛的人口流动将基督教变成了全球化的信仰。广泛的人口流动在其它主要的世界宗教在世界各地的传播过程中也发挥了重要作用,但是,就基督教来说,流动可能是这种信仰固有的因素。基督教超越罗马帝国成为全球性信仰是个非常复杂的过程,包含许多不同类型的人口流动。跨国界的领袖们、俘虏、难民和流浪者、商人是人口流动的四种主要类型。虽然,东部教会传教的成功是短暂的,但是东部教会在第一个千年形成的移民传教模式无疑为21世纪的基督教提供了典范。基督教在过去的两三个世纪里再次全球化,基督信仰作为新的中心在非洲、拉丁美洲和亚洲的某些地区出现,表明"人口流动"在基督教全球传播过程中的作用比以前更加明显。当代基督教的全球化与早期基督教的全球化在发展道路上有很大不同,但有一点是不变的,即基督教的全球化仍将主要依靠流动者的行动和决策。
