解析中华太极图的阴阳数字化之谜

中华太极图有三图:一极太虚图;二极太极图;三极太极图。析解中华太极图的阴阳数字化之谜,就是要把潜藏在惟象的三个太极图之后的极度抽象的阴(0)阳(1)数字化之谜底及其内在联系揭示出来。作者运用代数学、集合论等方法揭示出三个太极图间所内蕴的二进制及其数学和逻辑意义,这对于深入理解中华文化的阴阳辩证思维方式,对宏扬中华民族独特的文化传统,具有重要意义。     

美国中东政策评析

美国在中东遇到大麻烦,主要战略目标未能实现。伊拉克安全形势持续严峻,巴以和谈停滞不前,伊朗核问题难以解决,压叙利亚屈服迄未奏效,恐怖活动越反越多,大中东改造计划受挫。美遇到的困难未超出其承受能力,美国在中东仍居主导地位,美中东政策在手法和策略上有所调整,实质上并无变化。

Elders' attitudes toward extending the healthy life span

Despite continuing debate between anti-aging researchers seeking major life span extension and concerned gerontologists and bioethicists, elders' views have received little research attention. Study aimed to relate elders' attitudes toward strong life span extension to psychosocial and background factors. Participants were 109 American elders (65% women) aged 60-99 (M = 77.08, SD = 9.05). Measures included attitudes toward living long and living forever, Desired Age, Death Acceptance, Goal Seeking, Internality, and background variables (age, gender, marital status, education, religion, health). Attitudes were more positive toward an extended life span than living forever (p < .01). In regression analyses, more positive attitudes were related to greater Desired Age, less Death Acceptance, greater Goal Seeking, and greater Internality, and to lower age and non-Christian religious affiliation. Qualitative analyses explored goals for various periods of additional life. Elders' positive attitudes toward extended life need consideration by experts debating this issue.     

朱子太极思想发微

陈荣捷曾与日本学者辩论太极观念对于朱子理论体系是否为不可无,本文呼应、接续了陈文。文章首先分析了朱子《太极解义》中的体用说,提出,朱子运用体用范畴来定位太极与阴阳关系,其说虽承自二程,但又有自己的发展,这主要体现在他对体用关系有先后之分的强调上。其次,作者考察了朱子太极思想与邵雍、张载的关联,指出《易学启蒙》明显采用了邵雍之说,论文还分析了朱子关于太极是气的一条语录,指出其与张载对《易传》"参两"思想阐释的相似之处,所有这些旨在加深对于朱子太极思想来源复杂性的认识。

Social Workers' Implementation of Client Participation: What Factors Make the Difference?

ABSTRACT

Client participation is both a value and a strategy in social work, involving clients in decisions influencing their lives. Nevertheless, the factors encouraging its use by social workers in social services have received little research attention. This article reports on a study drawing on Goal Commitment Theory to examine, for the first time, four categories of variables that might predict its implementation: background variables (intervention method, age, experience, education, supervision); personal resources (self-esteem, mastery); organizational variables (superiors' support, organizational commitment); and situational factors (previous client participation, perception of client participation).

A sample of 661 Israeli social workers completed questionnaires. Hierarchical regression analysis and t-tests revealed that intervention method, mastery, superiors' support, and both situational variables contributed significantly to explaining the variance in client participation. Moreover, social workers valued client participation significantly more than they used it. The implications for researchers and professionals in social services are discussed. Proper training could increase social workers' awareness of client participation and provide tools for implementation. Policy makers should set standards for its use and evaluation, and require its inclusion in all interventions. Further research investigating clients and managers of social services could provide a broader picture of the factors impacting client participation.     

Motivating proactive subsidiary innovation: Agent-based theory and socialization models in global R&D

An integration of agency theory and socialization models is developed and used to explain the types of governance and organizational structures associated with self-initiated subsidiary innovation. This theorizing suggests that: 1) The hub structure is the greatest user of behavior-based contracting and engenders the fewest self-initiated innovations; 2) The federation structure is the greatest user of outcome-based contracting and engenders the most self-initiated innovations, but these are primarily oriented to business level strategy rather than corporate; and, 3) The network structure is the greatest user of goal internalization and is the strongest generator of self-initiated innovations which are oriented to corporate-level strategy. The empirical evidence from extant studies of other researchers in the field is consistent with these propositions. Implications for management practice, research and theory are discussed in the paper.

王安石财税变法流产根本原因探析

两千多年来发生在中华大地上的一切变法和改革,不论是政治的、经济的,还是社会的等等,几乎鲜有成功者。究其根本原因,就在于皇权专制政体本身的极端恶劣性及其自身的不自由、不人道、不公正与不平等性,几乎都是在挑战社会治理——增进全社会和每个人利益总量——这个终极标准。王安石财税变法的流产或失败的根本原因同样在于此,在于其财税变法挑战了财税治理的终极目的,无视人道自由原则,违背了平等人权原则。
