The Past and Present Cultural Experiences of Adopted Korean American Adults

This study used a mixed-method approach to examine the past and present cultural life experiences of Korean adult adoptees. Open-ended responses across four developmental periods (childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and adulthood) were qualitatively analyzed and categorized into seven categories of cultural activities. We then quantitatively investigated the relationship between these domains and ethnic identity. Ethnic identity was positively correlated with only cultural experiences from young adulthood. The practical relevance of the research findings to adopted adults and adoptive families is discussed.     

德语中性别歧视文化渊源及其规避

近年来德语中出现的成对表达、中性表达以及其他改写形式,均有助于体现语言上的两性平等。要彻底消除语言中的性别歧视,只有从其产生的社会文化根源着手,改变以男性为中心的价值取向和社会心理认同。     

接受美学视阈中的计算机辅助教学

接受美学理论十分重视本文一读者关系，特别强调读者在本文意义解读与重构过程中的主体地位。网络环境下的大学英语教学的研究视点也从教师主体转向了学生主体，把学生视为几个教学常量中的主导因子，关注学生主体身份的构建。在此意义上，接受美学理论对新环境下的大学英语教学有很强的解释力。     

Local Rites and Body Politics

The growing awareness of violence against women has resulted in endorsement of various international codes and conventions relating to physical, psychological and sexual violence. Female genital mutilation is one form of violence against women that has polarized people within and across national borders. Here, I explore its popular representation, consider how activism against genital mutilation has been confounded by sex and race and how activism to eradicate the practice is understood by immigrant women in Australia. In doing this, I draw on research conducted with women immigrants to Australia from north Africa (the Sahel areas) and the Middle East, from countries where female genital mutilation is most common. These women are often frustrated by what they see as contradictions in hospital policy and practice that arise in response to their requests to be reinfibulated after childbirth. I tease out the dilemmas that emerge when refusal is contrasted with other permissible practices of the body, such as hymen reconstruction, and given the commodification of bodies and related issues of age and agency, the individual and the community. The perceived discrepancies suggest to these African women that rights discourse is discriminatory, racist and informed by sensational portrayals of traditional practices. I question the ethics, values and rights that inform public discourse about sexual and reproductive rights, when women’s rights and values are so discrepant from our own ideals.     

源于文化自觉的城镇化路径——中国城镇化新探索：来自西藏拉萨大北郊的启示

市场经济条件下的城镇化，实质是人口和生产要素的集中过程。新型城镇化不仅仅是线性的“破旧立新”的发展过程，更是多元的“文化创新”的展过程，是文化基因的传承，文化记忆的存留和文化历史的延续。大北郊作为以金属器加工制作为主导的产业集群和生产者集聚的生活社区，其成型、变迁和发展，是基于文化自觉的城镇化的典型个案。

Using power transformations when approximating quantiles

Estimators are obtained tor quantiles of survival distributions. This is accomplished by approximating Lritr distribution of the transtorrneri data, where the transformation used is that of Box and Cox (1964). The normal approximation as in Box and Cox and, in addition, the extreme value approximation are considered. More generally, to use the methods given, the approximating distribution must come from a location-scale family. For some commonly used survival random variables T the performance of the above approximations are evaluated in terms of the ratio of the true quantiles of T to the estimated one, in the long run. This performance is also evaluated for lower quantiles using simulated lognormai, Weibull and gamma data. Several examples are given to illustrate the methodology herein, including one with actual data.
