“英语语言学导论”多元化教学模式的建构探究

“英语语言学导论”理论性较强、术语多,长期以来存在教学形式单一、课时偏少与课程内容量大、涉及面广的矛盾的课程现状。多元化教学模式的探究旨在激发学生对语言学学习的兴趣,提升学生对语言现象的分析能力,以提高教学质量。     

淮安市老年人养老模式选择意愿实证分析

以淮安市869例老人的问卷调查数据为依据,运用Logistic模型对淮安市老年人养老模式的选择意愿进行了实证分析.研究发现:年龄、性别、文化程度、健康状况对养老方式的选择没有显著影响,而婚姻状况、家庭类型、居住地、月收入和最担心的问题有显著影响.     

不完全信任模型下非线性的激励策略设计

针对人力资源信息管理中"理性经济人"员工无法被管理者完全信任的问题,提出了一种新的非线性激励数学模型,实现了人力资源的激励策略优化。将该模型应用于不合格产品检测问题的案例,理论分析结果表明不诚实员工成功欺骗管理者的概率为1/n,其中n为激励检测样本集合元素的个数,从而证明了该激励模型的有效性。     

基于卡诺模型的产品价值创新策略研究

从卡诺模型三种质量水平的角度分析产品价值创新的策略,研究结果表明:通过"剔除、减少、增加、创新"的策略,可以提高客户满意度,增加产品的买方价值;减少和剔除不被客户所接受的产品功能,进而减少整个产品的成本,能实现产品价值与成本的共赢。这一理论研究可以为企业拓宽行业边界,进入企业发展的蓝海提供理论依据和决策参考。     

我国教师工作动机研究述评

近年来,国内学者对教师工作动机的概念界定、结构划分以及影响因素等方面进行了探讨。这些研究对于提高教师工作动机以及促进学校和教师的自身发展产生了重要影响,对进一步认识和研究教师工作动机奠定了基础。目前研究的不足在于对动机概念的界定存在分歧,结构维度的划分仍然较为混乱,对于影响因素的研究还需要进一步深入,同时还需关注变量对于教师工作动机的影响。     

区域发展需求驱动的交通运输1程专业学位研究生培养模式探索

为了提高交通运输工程专业学位研究生的培养质量,构建解释结构模型,以解析影响专业学位研究生培养质量的指标因素,并获取各影响要素之间的递阶层次关系。在分析云南省社会经济发展需求的基础上,以昆明理工大学交通运输工程专业学位研究生培养模式为例,给出提升专业学位研究生培养质量的优化对策。结果表明：课程设计、跨学科教育、研究生培养质量评估体系与实践考核及激励制度,对专业学位研究生的培养质量具有重要影响,政府支持力度则是提升专业学位研究生培养质量的外部保障。     

国际金融危机对我国进出口贸易的冲击——基于贸易方式视角的实证研究

从贸易方式的视角为我国一般贸易与加工贸易进口、出口总额建立动态因子模型,分析金融危机对我国进出口贸易的冲击影响。研究结果表明:本次金融危机对我国进出口贸易总体情况存在巨大的负面冲击影响,收入效应和价格效应较为强烈,但一般贸易与加工贸易面对金融危机冲击的反应存在差异,一般贸易对外需的变动较为敏感,加工贸易对汇率的变动较为敏感。     

E-Racing together: How starbucks reshaped and deflected racial conversations on social media

In March 2015, Starbucks introduced its #RaceTogether campaign to encourage patrons to discuss race and ethnicity in global culture. Public reaction to #RaceTogether was largely critical and resulted in Starbucks' abandoning the campaign within a year. Through an analysis of 5000 #RaceTogether tweets, this study examines how users engaged the campaign and each other. This study draws three conclusions. First, most #RaceTogether posts featured extremist and racist positions. Second, #RaceTogether posts deflected race conversations and critiqued the organizations role in national racial discourses. Finally, posts in the digital space critiqued Starbucks as a location for inter-racial dialogue because of brand perception.This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.     

The lesser of two evils: Atypical trajectories in English dialect evolution

Schneider's Dynamic Model of Postcolonial English Development (2007) suggests that distinct local identities and their associated varieties of English emerge as a result of British colonization, and reach maturity only when ties to the colonial power are finally severed. While this developmental trajectory is well documented in many of the case studies discussed in, and since, Schneider (2007), a comparison of Hong Kong and Gibraltar shows, in certain cases, that association with Britain can be seen as the best guarantor of these local identities and varieties of English. The present article sketches this alternate developmental trajectory, and examines under what circumstances it may emerge and how widely it might be applied.     

The National Review “fires” Christopher Buckley: Image restoration and the rhetoric of severance and restraint

Image Restoration Discourse, Situational Crisis Communication Theory, and related crisis-response models tend to involve charges leveled at entities: individuals or organizations. In The New Rhetoric, Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca suggest an important mid-ground: stakeholder concerns regarding aberrant actions of a member of a larger public. Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca's “techniques of severance and restraint” comprise 11 strategies for countering the possible effects of an aberrant member's acts on the image and reputation of a larger public. This article will explore those techniques through an examination of how the National Review Online, the Web site complement of National Review magazine, responded to columnist Christopher Buckley's endorsement of Barack Obama in the 2008 U.S. presidential election.
