华夏民族"是非"价值观念是何以可能的?--汉语原初"是"的语义结构分析

探索汉语价值判断"是非"观念的来源以及与原初"是"时"观念的源流关系.认为在汉语"是"与西语"to be"之间,既有对应性,又有差异性.作为价值判断的"是非"观念,来源于作为形而上学观念的早期"是"的存在者化的指代神圣性;而这种形而上学的"是"观念,又来源于前形而上学的更为原始的"是"时"的标示存在本身的系词性;这种原始的"是"时"观念,乃是华夏先民的源始的生存之领会与解释.     

Give Them the Money: Is Cash a Route to Empowerment?

This article suggests it is important to unpack the notion of "empowerment" in community care so that the position of those who provide "hands-on" care is scrutinised alongside the empowerment of "users" of care. The particular case of the forthcoming Direct Payments legislation, whereby disabled people will be able to opt for cash rather than services and become employers of personal assistants, is considered. It is argued that both employers and employees in these care relationships are likely to be on low incomes, that the work is likely to be insecure and possibly unregulated, that there might be a problem of labour supply, and that in the long run, this form of employment might generate hardship for the workers so employed. Other forms of reconciling the interests of both users and "carers" are considered.     

赛珍珠《大地三部曲》中的三个男主角解读

在赛珍珠小说<大地三部曲>的评论与研究中,很少有文章集中评析与解剖作品的系列男子形象.对其中的三个男主角进行较系统而深入的解读,可以填补赛氏研究中的一些空白.用"土"、"石"、"壤"来比喻和象征作品中的三个男主角,突出的是中国大地的那种浓郁的土气.王龙的土气自不待言.他的儿子王虎由于其性格刚硬、行踪不定,把他比作较坚硬、流动的石块较为合适.王源如爷爷一样,见到土地格外心爽,中和了社会其他阶层的特点,故而用"壤"来概括他的形象与性格特征.以王龙、王虎、王源为主人公所构成的"大地三部曲",使人联想到人们概括过的人生的三个阶段或三个境界骆驼、狮子和婴儿.他们的整体形象象征着人类生存与生命发展的内在逻辑.     

农村家庭合法财产的分割——对山西省平遥县段村的调查

农村家庭合法财产的分割包括“分家”和对“遗产”的处理两种形式。“分家”是农村生活中一种源远流长的活动,有其独特的规则和模式,历史地形成了一种具有普遍效力的乡俗民约。同时,“分家”的含义往往扩大化,涵盖了“遗产分割”的概念和形式。本文从社会学法学的角度,运用访谈和参与实例的方法,以山西省平遥县段村镇段村为对象,对其家庭财产的分割规则、类型、仪式、程序、信条等进行了实证调查,以期理解“分家”这种乡俗民约的内涵,透视“现实中的法律”所反映的伦理、秩序和文化。

Multiple objective policy analysis: A factor analysis and tradeoff approach applied to the agricultural sector of the Dominican Republic

The technique of factor analysis is applied to a situation in which result data from multiple objective policy analysis need to be reduced to a subset of information for policy makers. Use of factor analysis in this context is developed in some detail, and the process is applied to results of pricing policy simulations from a model of the agricultural sector of the Dominican Republic. It is concluded that factor analysis can be a useful first step for the analyst to determine the relationships among groups of variables. The technique also aids the process of data reduction to allow graphical presentation of tradeoffs.     

Care of Empowerment? A Disability Rights Perspective

This paper challenges the notion of "care", arguing that people who need support in their daily lives have been constructed as "dependent people". Instead, the author argues, if we want to empower people we must learn from the Independent Living Movement, from the people who struggled against segregation and insisted that access to personal assistance over which they have control is a civil rights issue. The paper takes issue with Clare Ungerson's perspective on the new direct payments legislation. This legislation is an important stage in the achievements of a civil rights movement and social researchers have a moral responsibility to collaborate with this movement in any work which they develop on issues which are not of mere academic interest but which concern people's rights to choice and control in their lives.

Probability of ties and Markov property in discrete order statistics

It is well known that, in the continuous case, the probability that two consecutive order statistics are equal to zero, whereas it is not true when the distribution is discrete. It is, perhaps, for this reason that order statistics from discrete distributions has not been investigated in the literature as much as from a continuous distribution. The main purpose of this paper, therefore, is to obtain the probability of ties when the distribution is discrete. Also it is shown that, in the discrete case, the Markov property does not hold good. However, the order statistics from a geometric distribution forms a Markov chain.
