维吾尔语汉语借词新探

维吾尔族人民自古以来就和汉族人民或密切往来,或杂居一处,在长期的语言接触和文化交流过程中借入了大量汉语词语,使汉语借词在维吾尔语词汇中占据了一定的地位。本文通过大量翔实可靠的语言事实,论述了汉语借词进入维吾尔语的历史过程、汉语借词的特点和发展状况以及在使用过程中出现的问题。     

纳斯尔教授的"圣道伊斯兰教"观初探

当代国际著名学者赛义德·侯赛因·纳斯尔(SeyyedHosseinNasr)从比较宗教学的视角上,对伊斯兰教哲学与东西方哲学精神经过长期探索后,体认到“现代主义”观念对传统伊斯兰教本身所构成的挑战,从而提出“圣道伊斯兰教”观的宗教哲学概念。他并因此以及对传统苏菲思想和伊斯兰教哲学的挖掘和阐释而在伊斯兰教学者和西方学者中产生了巨大影响。其深刻的伊斯兰教“文化自觉”意义、和谐理念等积极因素对我们都有借鉴意义。他的“圣道伊斯兰教”观,国内尚无评介与探讨,本文从三个方面对其作了述评:1.纳斯尔其人其学;2.“圣道伊斯兰教”观;3.对“圣道伊斯兰教”观的一些思考。     

Distribution-free inference of zero-inflated binomial data for longitudinal studies

Count responses with structural zeros are very common in medical and psychosocial research, especially in alcohol and HIV research, and the zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) and zero-inflated negative binomial models are widely used for modeling such outcomes. However, as alcohol drinking outcomes such as days of drinkings are counts within a given period, their distributions are bounded above by an upper limit (total days in the period) and thus inherently follow a binomial or zero-inflated binomial (ZIB) distribution, rather than a Poisson or ZIP distribution, in the presence of structural zeros. In this paper, we develop a new semiparametric approach for modeling ZIB-like count responses for cross-sectional as well as longitudinal data. We illustrate this approach with both simulated and real study data.     

Social support,stress, and maternal postpartum depression: A comparison of supportive relationships

A large body of literature documents the link between social support, stress, and women’s mental health during pregnancy and the postpartum period; however, uncertainty remains as to whether a direct effect or stress mediating pathway best describes the relationship between these factors. Moreover, specific dimensions of social support that may be influential (family type, sources of support) have largely been neglected. Using data from the Fragile Families and Child Well-being Study (N = 4150), we examine the pathway between social support, stress exposure, and postpartum depression in greater detail. Findings reveal that social support is a significant, protective factor for postpartum depression, and the variety of support providers in a woman’s social network is important, especially in the context of family type. Findings also reveal the importance of considering social support and stress exposure as part of a larger causal pathway to postpartum mental health.

非英语专业大学生口译能力调查与研究

调查显示,我国非英语专业大学生的口译能力普遍不高,但有强烈的提高口译及口语能力的愿望,主要原因在于在现行的大学英语教学模式下学生所获得的英语口头表达能力的训练太少。本文阐述了把口译运用于大学英语教学的实验和效果,试图探索提高大学生口译能力及英语应用能力的有效途径。     

A Comparative Analysis of Quality Practice in Manufacturing Firms in the U.S. and Taiwan*

The aim of this paper is to determine if there is a causal relationship between multivariate constructs for quality (i.e., customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and employee service quality) and organizational performance. The presence of such relationships, as well as the identification of key indicators within each quality construct for different types of firms, are explored in this empirical study on the perceptions of middle managers in Taiwan and the United States. The study found a significant causal relationship between the quality constructs and organizational performance. These relationships are different, however, for the four types of firms based on age and size. Also, within the same firm types, there are differences among countries. For example, for older firms, Taiwanese managers tend to perceive customer satisfaction as the most important quality construct in improving organizational performance, while U.S. managers tend to perceive employee satisfaction as the most important. For younger firms, U.S. managers perceive customer satisfaction as influencing organizational performance, while Taiwanese managers perceive both customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction as doing so. A further breakdown of the quality constructs identified the key indicators within each construct that separates “better performers'’from “lesser performers'’in both countries for the four types of firms. These indicators are dissimilar, thus suggesting that focus on quality constructs may lead to improvements in organizational performance by focusing on different indicators in different environments. These results have implications for the adoption and implementation of quality practices in different countries.     

Stock Evaluation Using a Preference Disaggregation Methodology

This paper presents a real application of a multicriteria decision aid (MCDA) approach to portfolio selection based on preference disaggregation, using ordinal regression and linear programming (UTADIS method; UTilités Additives DIScriminantes). The additive utility functions that are derived through this approach have the extrapolation ability that any new alternative (share) can be easily evaluated and classified into one of several user-predefined groups. The procedure is illustrated with a case study of 98 stocks from the Athens stock exchange, using 15 criteria. The results are encouraging, indicating that the proposed methodology could be used as a tool for the analysis of the portfolio managers' preferences and choices. Furthermore, the comparison with multiple discriminant analysis (either using a stepwise procedure or not) illustrates the superiority of the proposed methodology over a well-known multivariate statistical technique that has been extensively used to study financial decision-making problems.
