中国移民学生家长与ESL教师的冲突——兼谈中西方教育文化的对抗

作者曾以访问学者的身份在加拿大卡尔加里大学留学,其间接触了许多来自祖国大陆的移民,他们以及他们的孩子在接受由加拿大各级教育部门提供的ESL课程培训上碰到了许多困难.这些困难归根结底是由于中西方文化在教育观念上的不同所导致的.这些不同主要体现在中国移民学生家长与当地的ESL老师在对待教学过程、教学内容和教学方法上的不同认知所引起的.本文探讨了这些冲突,并试图分析引起这些冲突的原因.     

Parental mental health: disruptions to parenting and outcomes for children

The association between parental mental health problems and negative outcomes for children has been long known. This paper addresses three issues in relation to this. First, the scale of the problem is outlined, in terms of both the prevalence of mental health problems in parents and the likelihood of children exhibiting negative outcomes in these circumstances. Secondly, the specificity, or lack of it, of particular outcomes in the child in relation to different parental mental health problems is explored. Thirdly, the paper focuses on the importance of disruptions to parenting as a mechanism in the transmission of mental health problems to negative impacts on the child. Examples are given of how parenting is disrupted in non‐clinical community populations, and the subsequent impacts on the child. The case is made for the preventative importance of parenting and family support in mediating between parental mental health problems and negative impacts on the child.

The Impact of Occupational Sex Segregation on Family Businesses: The Case of American Harness Racing

Previous research on occupational sex segregation agrees that the workplace is not an isolated world but instead influences, and is influenced by, other spheres of social life. Identifying specific social factors both internal and external to the workplace, and how these may interact, can provide deeper insights into how occupational sex segregation is created and maintained. This study focuses on individual family businesses in American harness horse racing, a previously unexamined and highly sex‐segregated industry, and provides insights in how vertical and horizontal sex segregation may develop in family businesses. The findings show how the belief that married couples cannot debate and resolve work‐related conflicts without undue strain on their personal relationship leads some of these couples to organize their work into gendered tasks and workspaces, contributing to the maintenance of vertical segregation in the trainer position. The implications for segregation of other solutions, such as operating separate businesses, or working for another business, are less clear.     

Substitution in statutory and voluntary support for relatives of older people

This study investigates the relationship between statutory and voluntary activity in the field of support to family carers of older people in Sweden. The relationship is considered in regard to substitution theory. A survey was conducted comprising 80 local authorities and 358 voluntary organisations. All the local authorities and about a third of the voluntary organisations arranged support activities. The number of activities varied substantially across the municipalities. However, correlation analysis found no significant relationship between local authority and voluntary activity, even though both sometimes arranged the same kinds of activities. In other words, this study finds no support for substitution theory. On the contrary, it shows that a higher level of voluntary activity is found in municipalities where the local authority cooperates with or supports voluntary organisations.

穆木天外国文学翻译与中国现代翻译文学

穆木天外国文学翻译对于认识中国现代翻译文学具有重要价值。穆木天与鲁迅有关“翻译”问题的论争,是“五四”以来不同翻译观的碰撞,是左翼文学多元构成的不同翻译观之间的碰撞,这有助于穆木天20世纪30年代翻译家身份的确立,他的巴尔扎克翻译和阐释是左翼文学的重要成果。穆木天的巴尔扎克译著迅速消失在读者视野中,需要结合中国现代翻译文学传统重新认识,但也可见有着他自身素质的限制,相比之下他的诗歌翻译更具有根基性,但却更多地受到来自他自身主导意识上的压抑。     

Penalized likelihood regression: General formulation and efficient approximation

The authors consider a formulation of penalized likelihood regression that is sufficiently general to cover canonical and noncanonical links for exponential families as well as accelerated life models with censored survival data. They present an asymptotic analysis of convergence rates to justify a simple approach to the lower‐dimensional approximation of the estimates. Such an approximation allows for much faster numerical calculation, paving the way to the development of algorithms that scale well with large data sets.
