The hostility triad: The contribution of negative emotions to organizational (un‐)wellness

The discourse of organisational wellness with its emphasis on the positive is seen here as too one‐sided. With discussion of three negative emotions—summarised as the hostility triad in the literature—and on the basis of a little incident that occurred during a major change in a large corporation, it will be shown how contempt, anger and disgust take place in everyday actions in organisations. A thesis deriving from research in cross‐cultural psychology will be presented indicating that negative emotions, compared to reasoning, play a more important role in moral judgement than often acknowledged. Disagreeable as the hostility triad may be, it deserves attention so we are able to take its effects on the relationship of different groups in organisations into consideration.     

易学推类逻辑的类型分析

《易经》及自孔子开始的历代注释和发挥而成的易学,包含着丰富的逻辑思想和较为成熟、固定的推理类型,是中国古代逻辑重要而特殊的组成部分。易学逻辑以推类为主导推理类型,其推类类型十分复杂,大体包括阴阳、五行、八卦等诸种。易学的价值不在占卜,而主要在思想、史料与逻辑。深入开展易学逻辑的研究,对丰富中国逻辑史的内容具有重要意义。

形声字意符与传统类属观念

传统类属观念是汉民族整体思维方式的产物,注重整体把握事物、强调事物之间的联系性。具体表现为取象比类与推演系联这两种基本方法。形声字意符表示的是事物的类属概念,体现了先人对于物质世界和精神世界的概括的认识,形声字意符的形成与意符系统的建立,是传统类属观念在文字领域的反映。     

Election of New Fellows

This paper proposes a framework for the development of instruments to measure content learning and problem-solving skills for the introductory statistics course. This framework is based upon a model of the problem-solving process central to statistical reasoning. The framework defines and interrelates six measurement tasks: (1) subjective reports; (2) reports concerning truth, falsity, or equivalence; (3) supply the appropriate missing information in a message; (4) answer a question based upon a specific message; (S) reproduce a message; and (6) carry out a procedure.     

迪伦马特小说中的“蝴蝶效应”——评《抛锚》、《诺言》、《法官和他的刽子手》

文章剖析了瑞士作家迪伦马特在《抛锚》、《诺言》、《法官和他的刽子手》中对＂偶然事件＂的利用及偶然事件在小说中所造成的＂蝴蝶效应＂。迪伦马特着力渲染偶然小事的＂蝴蝶效应＂,实际上是想探讨偶然性在人类生活中所起的巨大作用,特别是偶然性与人类理性的对抗。     

Pedagogical Practice Wisdom in Social Work Practice Teaching—A Kaleidoscopic View

Limitations of technical rationality, the dominant paradigm for making sense of human interactions in the context of social work practice, have drawn much attention. Currently, practice wisdom in social work education is at the center of a hot debate, but one confined to conceptual analysis. As of yet, there is no empirical reference for its substantive contents and operation. In the current presentation, four features of practice wisdom are developed, based upon a synthesis of the commonalities of practice wisdom as inferred from extensive scholars' views: the interplay of Moral Reasoning and Cognitive Knowledge, the Agential Nature of Knowledge, the Interactive Process of Knowledge Generation, and the Fluid Status of Knowledge. To advance the development of social work pedagogy by filling the gaps in empirical knowledge, these four features, hence, pedagogical practice wisdom, as exercised by practice teachers, are explored. Ten videotaped practice teaching scenarios and twenty co-reflection meetings were undertaken with five practice teachers and analyzed. The main finding is that practice teachers exercised nondeliberative reflection, each emphasizing different features of practice wisdom, thus shaping their teaching in ways unique to each. These results suggest a kaleidoscopic view in understanding pedagogical practice wisdom and specialized training for practice teachers.     

Using Decision Analysis: Connecting Classroom and Field

This paper reports on the findings of a small‐scale research project investigating the views of social work students on the use of decision analysis. After giving the context of the research, the article reports on what was found when students, who had just completed a Decision Making and Risk module, were asked for their opinions on the component parts of decision analysis, its use as a practice tool and their attitudes to using it on placement. The research found that the respondents in general took a critical and supportive stance towards the use of decision analysis in social work and, with extra teaching and a positive approach from their practice assessor, would be happy to use decision analysis. When the same group of students completed a follow‐up questionnaire on a placement recall day, half of them had thought about using decision analysis but only three had gone on to discuss this with their practice assessors. Some issues in relation to connecting ‘classroom’ and ‘field’ are identified and the paper concludes that a number of further steps would be necessary to realise the potential of decision analysis to help students be more systematic and analytical in their approach to decision making.     

一种改进的CBR案例检索相似性度量模型

案例相似性度量是基于案例推理(CBR)的突发事件应急决策管理的关键问题。本文基于最近邻算法,提出一种改进的案例相似性度量模型。提出结构相似度度量缺失数据对于案例结构特征相似性的影响,引入变异系数度量案例属性的可替代性,精确描述替代程度不同的属性对于案例相似性的贡献。最后通过具体案例检索实例验证了该模型的有效性。     

COMMENTARY: Silver Bullet Junkies and the Codifiers That Love Them: Behavioral Roots Behind a Legacy of Bad Modeling and Use

As research continues to evolve, it is important to look back with a critical eye on its impact on practice and what is guiding its trajectory into the future. In this work we discuss some of the key behavioral drivers that taken as a whole have made for a less than ideal relationship between research, model development, and use/reliance in practice. From a general public‐good perspective, there is an obvious need for academics to take on a greater role of responsibility when it comes to both research and curriculum in an effort to avoid some of the failings that our past work has inevitably encouraged to date.
