蒙古族传统自然观的当代意义

当今全球化已经成为一种发展趋势。西方科学理性主义文明模式的政治、经济、文化霸权理想还在推进与展开之中,世界各民族文化的文明底蕴是否会随着世界全球化进程而从根本上被动摇,这是时代向我们提出的课题。因而,有必要重新审视中国传统文化,特别是有必要重新审视作为中国传统文化组成部分的、又极具有民族特色的蒙古族传统文化的当代意义。     

Latent Class Models in action: Bridging social capital & Internet usage

This paper explores how Latent Class Models (LCM) can be applied in social research, when the basic assumptions of regression models cannot be validated. We examine the usefulness of this method with data collected from a study on the relationship between bridging social capital and the Internet. Social capital is defined here as the resources that are potentially available in one’s social ties. Bridging is a dimension of social capital, usually related to weak ties (acquaintances), and a source of instrumental resources such as information. The study surveyed a stratified random sample of 417 inhabitants of Lisbon, Portugal. We used LCM to create the variable bridging social capital, but also to estimate the relationship between bridging social capital and Internet usage when we encountered convergence problems with the logistic regression analysis. We conclude by showing a positive relationship between bridging and Internet usage, and by discussing the potential of LCM for social science research.     

Nurture net of nature: Re-evaluating the role of shared environments in academic achievement and verbal intelligence

Prominent authors in the behavioral genetics tradition have long argued that shared environments do not meaningfully shape intelligence and academic achievement. However, we argue that these conclusions are erroneous due to large violations of the additivity assumption underlying behavioral genetics methods – that sources of genetic and shared and nonshared environmental variance are independent and non-interactive. This is compounded in some cases by the theoretical equation of the effective and objective environments, where the former is defined by whether siblings are made more or less similar, and the latter by whether siblings are equally subject to the environmental characteristic in question. Using monozygotic twin fixed effects models, which compare outcomes among genetically identical pairs, we show that many characteristics of objectively shared environments significantly moderate the effects of nonshared environments on adolescent academic achievement and verbal intelligence, violating the additivity assumption of behavioral genetic methods. Importantly, these effects would be categorized as nonshared environmental influences in standard twin models despite their roots in shared environments. These findings should encourage caution among those who claim that the frequently trivial variance attributed to shared environments in behavioral genetic models means that families, schools, and neighborhoods do not meaningfully influence these outcomes.     

古印度哲学的信息、系统、复杂性思想的基本特质(上)

古印度哲学中蕴涵着丰富而深刻的信息、系统与复杂性思想,可以归纳为十二个方面的特质:丰富的宇宙及其事物自生性的过程论思想;以大梵为本体的世界整体统一性理论;形形色色的多元实在论的本体论观念;明确的信息自在显现思想;丰富的宇宙、事物的全息思想;深刻的信息认识中介论思想;差异整体论和差异认识论的复杂性观念;和合论中的整体涌现论的复杂性思想;事物自然因、无目的、非决定论的复杂性观念;无常无我论、空论中的变易、无主宰、无主体的复杂性思想;"中道论"中两极兼容、对立互补的复杂性思想;具有直观性、猜测性、神秘性、神学性等缺陷.     

二战期间德日同盟关系初探

德国和日本由于缺乏足够的共同利益,加之两国所发动战争的侵略性质,因此德日的军事同盟在二战中实际上是无效的。在战争中,德日两国仅将这一同盟视为威慑各自敌国的工具而已,双方抱着相互利用的态度而自行其是。德日同盟的无效性对反法西斯战争的胜利有着重要的作用,同时也是一个值得思考的国家间合作失败的案例。

怎样看待文艺的意识形态属性——兼评“审美意识形态”说

文艺与意识形态的关系已争论多年.正确理解马克思的"意识形态"概念是问题的关键.应该承认文艺有意识形态因素,并能生产出意识形态来,但不能把文艺的本质界定为意识形态.文艺在社会结构中是处于"社会意识形式"的位置,它能产生意识形态功能.西方马克思主义理论家也多是持这样的见解的."审美意识形态"的概念是含糊的、难以成立的.文艺"审美意识形态"论的错误,在于它把丰富的规定狭窄化,用抽象的"审美"消解了文艺的意识形态作用.科学的道路是恢复马克思文艺意识形态学说的本来面貌.     

自然权利与社会规则——诺齐克的自然状态理论研究

“自然状态”理论是诺齐克政治哲学的基础:个人在自然状态中所拥有的权利,即“以人为目的,而不仅仅以人为工具”,这是人的基本要求,以此形成市场原则和确立政府才会具有合法性。诺齐克禀持康德的道德直觉,但他将康德的“人(Humanity)”改写为“个人(Individual)”,使“消极自由主义”的个人至上原则(Libertarianism)走向极端。诺齐克的“自然状态”是意志自由的直觉假定、是人的自然权利、是一切社会规则的前提。     

高校艺术体操课结构的约束力与灵活性

融体操、音乐、舞蹈、美术等多种形式于一身、深受大学生喜爱的高校艺术体操课,由于受人体机能活动能力变化规律和动作技能形成规律的约束,在课时段安排上要纠正那种单纯以传统的三部分课结构的统一模式,根据不同的对象、不同的教材、不同的教学阶段及场地器材等因素灵活地安排艺术体操课的结构,以优化教学更好地提高教学质量。     

中国ESI学科建设研究的现状、问题及对策——基于2003—2017年核心期刊文献的计量分析

文章系统梳理了国内外ESI学科领域研究现状,通过对2003年1月至2017年6月CNKI核心期刊发表的“ESI学科”主题论文的计量分析,发现该领域研究存在若干问题:论文成果数量逐年增长但仍不多,论文来源期刊和机构分布不尽合理,作者专业结构有待优化、核心作者群体尚未形成,学科排名和一流学科建设是研究的热点,研究主题多为应用对策类,基础研究类成果极为缺乏.针对上述问题,笔者提出了具体的对策建议.
