“Does the voice in your head get kinder as you get older?” Women’s perceptions of body image in midlife

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to identify attitudes and reactions toward physical changes in midlife women. A Facebook thread, presenting a series of comments related to an initial statement, instigated by a radio program was analyzed. The thread contained 87 responses to the question “Does the voice in your head get kinder as you get older?” Content analysis revealed positive (56%) and negative (40%) comments and four themes: physical changes with aging, the decreased importance of physical appearance, the importance of sociocultural influences, and the invisibility of women in midlife. Findings revealed both positive and negative body image experiences in women related to midlife and have implications for prevention.     

服务补救内容和顾客关系对消费者情绪和行为意向的影响

采用情景模拟和问卷调查方法,以饭店服务失误和补救为例,测评了在相同服务失误背景下服务补救内容和顾客关系对消费者情绪与行为意向的影响。结果发现:服务补救内容和顾客关系对消费者情绪与行为意向均有显著差异性影响,表现为:无论信任关系还是偶遇关系,精神补救相比物质补救能使消费者产生更高的积极情绪、口碑传播、重购意向和更低的消极情绪。无论接受物质补救还是精神补救,信任关系消费者比偶遇关系消费者产生更高的积极情绪、口碑传播、重购意向和更低的消极情绪。     

学术期刊审稿理念及中西比较

学术期刊同行审稿制度产生260年来,人们尤其西方学者对其进行了广泛的研究、关注和强调。"同行审稿"制度实行以来,取得了巨大的成功,其中的代表性实例像《科学》、《自然》,等等。与之相应的是中国的"三审制",三审制是学术期刊审稿的主流制度,后者是一种主要在机构内部运作、计划色彩浓郁的审稿制度。通过中西方学者对审稿理念的理解比较,可以发现:西方学者100%持同行审稿观点,中国持此理念的仅占33%。在中国,主流工具书缺乏对审稿概念和研究成果的关注;自然科学界比社会科学界更加关注、重视审稿问题,社会科学界研究者则相对稀少;中国的同行审稿论者几乎都是自然科学工作者;尽管如此,中国的同行审稿论者呈增加趋势。同行审稿是一种开放型的审稿制度,因此,应当积极借鉴和采纳西方普遍采用的同行审稿制度,改进目前的审稿制度。     

学术期刊的质量与创新评价

目前我国学术期刊评价体系已初见端倪,但仍存在质量和创新力评价弱化、过分数量化、过分形式化、过分简单化(或官僚化、管理简单化)、评价主体淡化、评价结果软化等问题。这些问题的产生有着深刻的社会、经济、文化等原因。在保持原有期刊评价体系中某些合理因素的前提下,可采用形式评价、内容评价和效用评价的新概念组合,形成新的同行专家评价与引文等文献计量评价相结合的评价方法和新的评价指标体系,以期更好地推动学术期刊评价工作逐步走上科学发展轨道。     

基于内容的ESL教学融入语音流畅发展研究

研究讨论了两个内容密集,水平中等,侧重口语交际的ESL 语音教学实践案例,依据语音教学的实践,可以分为以下五类语音指令 ︰ 语言意识; 控制实践; 指导实践, 流畅性发展与自由练习。本文基于课堂观察,教师和学生的问卷调查、 访谈调查了教师综合根据这五个类别的每个发音的程度。调查结果表明：系统整合的语音教学纳入基于内容的课程一般会带来一些具体的问题,其中侧重语音流畅性发展这一部分似乎相对被较少关注到。

“Who,What, Where,and Why”

The North Carolina Serials Conference was very fortunate to have secured Rachel Frick for its keynote speaker for 2013. The conference was a homecoming for Frick, who is a graduate of the University of North Carolina MSLS program and is currently the Director of the Digital Library Federation Program for the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), a think tank and research organization located in Washington, D.C. The Digital Library Federation (DLF) has been in existence since 1995, its target audiences being digital library practitioners and other interested parties who are on the front-lines of teaching and learning in this specialty. In her address entitled “Who, What, Where, Why, and How,” Frick discussed some of the major initiatives and issues currently occurring within and around librarianship, exploring the effect that these large scale initiatives can, and should, have at the local level. She can be reached at her Twitter feed, @rlfrick.

试论乌蒙山回族谱牒文化及其当代价值

修撰族谱是乌蒙山回族数百年来一直延续的文化传统。阐明族源、明确族规、确立世系字辈、将伊斯兰教教义教规和信仰实践融入家谱之中是这种谱牒文化的主要内容。由族谱所呈现的族规家训、族群记忆、文化自信、信仰实践、人伦秩序、家风传承、和亲睦族、民族团结与热爱祖国等社会功能,是家族、民族、国家之诸种同构关系的重要体现。它对新时期建构新型民族关系、打造乌蒙山民族团结进步示范区、弘扬爱国主义主旋律具有重要的社会价值。
