High School Is Not Too Late: Developing Girls' Interest and Engagement in Engineering Careers

Although experts increasingly call for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education to begin in middle and elementary schools, a 3‐year intervention beginning with high‐achieving female high school sophomores demonstrated that young women can develop a serious interest in engineering in high school. However, subsequent post‐high school study of the participants showed that interest in engineering was not enough for lower‐income minority women to pursue engineering in college. It should be noted that their decision against pursuing engineering in college was not due to their lack of academic preparation or interest in the field, but to a lack of financial resources and social support for engineering, as well as fears of failure. Career counselors and college recruiters have an important role to play in the recruitment and retention of girls of color in engineering and other STEM college majors, including facilitating support and access to appropriate programs and resources at pivotal times.     

Career Development and School Success in Adolescents: The Role of Career Interventions

Using longitudinal survey data, the present study examined the effect of participation on career development skills in 6 career education experiences and school success among South Korean adolescents (2,473 young men, 2,132 young women; mean age = 15.86 years). Regression analyses indicated that students who participated in career education programs in school once or twice over a 2‐year period had the highest scores in both career development skills and school success. In contrast, there was no relationship between career education, career development skills, and school success for students who participated in career education programs only once or not at all. Results support the influence of career education interventions on students' career development skills and school success. This study provides accountability information on the effectiveness of career education interventions at South Korean secondary schools. The authors offer suggestions about more effective career interventions that can be applied in South Korean high schools.     

基于职业选择行为分析的过度教育对策研究——基于职业匹配的视角

过度教育是市场机制运行失灵的表现。职业匹配理论认为过度教育具有结构性和局部性的特点,若个人的受教育层次与某个岗位的特征不匹配,特别是出现"高能低岗"的现象时,过度教育就发生了。从职业匹配的视角来看过度教育问题的解决,有必要在过度教育下对劳动者的职业选择行为进行分析,揭示劳动力市场的职业匹配转移机制,从而确定有效的对策措施。解决我国的过度教育问题,主要应从增加中技能职业就业岗位与限制高层次教育扩招两个相关方面来着手实施。     

An investigation of career development programs,job satisfaction,professional development and productivity: the case of Taiwan

This study attempts to develop career development programs capable of responding to career needs at different career stages. The current implementation status of these career development programs in Taiwanese businesses is then examined, along with the level of satisfaction of R&D personnel with available career development programs. The relationship between the career development programs and job satisfaction, professional development and productivity is then examined, revealing an association between high satisfaction of R&D personnel with career development programs and high job satisfaction, professional development and productivity.     

Handling the Label Switching Problem in Latent Class Models Via the ECR Algorithm

Latent class models (LCMs) are specific cases of mixture models. Under a Bayesian setup, the symmetric posterior distribution of these models leads Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to suffer from the so-called label switching problem. In this article, we treat the corresponding MCMC outputs using a recent approach, namely, the Equivalence Classes Representative (ECR) algorithm and conclude that it can effectively solve the label switching problem by considering several examples of LCMs, such as mixtures of regressions, hidden Markov models, and Markov random fields. Moreover, the superiority of this method over other approaches becomes apparent.     

An Intersectional Social Capital Model of Career Development for International Marriage Immigrants

The phenomenon of women immigrating to marry has resulted in changing labor markets and increasing workforce diversity. However, because of a lack of social capital in their new country, immigrant women face significant barriers to gaining employment, have access to only limited work arenas, or remain at home as housewives. Existing studies of immigrant women are mainly limited to their human rights or cultural issues; there are few studies focusing on career development for them. This article uses social capital and intersectionality theories to create an intersectional social capital model of career development for immigrant women. The application of the model is explicated through the context of South Korea. The positive career development interventions as described in the model can help immigrant brides overcome multiple career‐related barriers and find new roots.     

广告翻译中“不信”现象的描述性研究

以德国功能派翻译理论为主要依据，对汉荚广告翻译中常见的“不信”现象做出例证和解释。认为广告英语由于其自身的特殊性（为吸引消费），其译文不应再追求传统翻译理论中对原文的忠实移植，而应把重心放在是否达到了对受众的传播效果。因此，广告翻译其实是译者有意改变原作的内容与形式的一种行为。当然，这种改变并不是任意为之．其总的原则是译文能够达到与原文广告对原语读者所起的相同甚至更好的功能和宣传效果。     

关于文献信息研究的人文思考

文献信息本质上是一种人文现象；文献信息研究，是另一种方式的人对人的研究。只有充分认识到这一点，才能把握文献信息研究的本质意义与特定功能。     

直观和现象——贾科梅蒂的视觉概观

在一定的距离上观看,在一个具体的情境之中观看,贾科梅蒂坚持真实的视觉,复制下实际的观看,成为他的艺术追求。正是在这一点上,贾科梅蒂归属于西方艺术史中单纯直观的视觉路线,并且,和同时代现象学家的某些看法有了相通之处,由此,也构成了贾科梅蒂在视觉史上的突破。这种揭显,在当代视像形态中仍然有其不可替代的肉身性生存意义。
