对隐喻的空间映射论与概念整合认知过程的再认识

回顾Fauconnier的空间映射论与概念整合的认知过程,并对其中的有关内容进行再认识.在再认识中着重强调空间映射与概念整合过程中主观能动性的发挥,相似概念提取的重要性,及隐喻形成后所提取概念缺省的必要性.结论:从认知语言学来看,隐喻的常规和非常规含意划分意义不太大.     

当代中国公共服务的话语逻辑与概念阐释

在中国经济结构、社会结构和利益格局深度调整的时期,以公共服务保民生、兜底线,是推动共享发展、促进社会和谐的重要途径,也是回应社会公共需要、保障公民权利的基本依托。作为关乎国家发展和社会团结的重要议题,当代中国的公共服务,需要在元理论层面给予“给养”,对公共服务的发生逻辑、正当性与合理性做出论证。为此,需要回到中国的文化传统、制度环境和现实情境中,梳理公共服务议题生成的背景,阐释公共服务概念的生成逻辑,从而建构起面向政策议题的概念框架,合理引导社会预期、恰当规划行动路线。     

Human Error in Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Deployment: A System Dynamics Approach

The use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for various applications have grown with maturing technology and improved accessibility. The deployment of AUVs for under-ice marine science research in the Antarctic is one such example. However, a higher risk of AUV loss is present during such endeavors due to the extremities in the Antarctic. A thorough analysis of risks is therefore crucial for formulating effective risk control policies and achieving a lower risk of loss. Existing risk analysis approaches focused predominantly on the technical aspects, as well as identifying static cause and effect relationships in the chain of events leading to AUV loss. Comparatively, the complex interrelationships between risk variables and other aspects of risk such as human errors have received much lesser attention. In this article, a systems-based risk analysis framework facilitated by system dynamics methodology is proposed to overcome existing shortfalls. To demonstrate usefulness of the framework, it is applied on an actual AUV program to examine the occurrence of human error during Antarctic deployment. Simulation of the resultant risk model showed an overall decline in human error incident rate with the increase in experience of the AUV team. Scenario analysis based on the example provided policy recommendations in areas of training, practice runs, recruitment policy, and setting of risk tolerance level. The proposed risk analysis framework is pragmatically useful for risk analysis of future AUV programs to ensure the sustainability of operations, facilitating both better control and monitoring of risk.     

A Framework to Understand Extreme Space Weather Event Probability

An extreme space weather event has the potential to disrupt or damage infrastructure systems and technologies that many societies rely on for economic and social well‐being. Space weather events occur regularly, but extreme events are less frequent, with a small number of historical examples over the last 160 years. During the past decade, published works have (1) examined the physical characteristics of the extreme historical events and (2) discussed the probability or return rate of select extreme geomagnetic disturbances, including the 1859 Carrington event. Here we present initial findings on a unified framework approach to visualize space weather event probability, using a Bayesian model average, in the context of historical extreme events. We present disturbance storm time (Dst ) probability (a proxy for geomagnetic disturbance intensity) across multiple return periods and discuss parameters of interest to policymakers and planners in the context of past extreme space weather events. We discuss the current state of these analyses, their utility to policymakers and planners, the current limitations when compared to other hazards, and several gaps that need to be filled to enhance space weather risk assessments.     

Wider Perspectives in Family Mediation: An Ecosystemic Approach

All mediation processes are constrained by their theoretical frameworks. A wider ecosystemic framework extends perspectives and can open new windows on family systems, interdisciplinary connections, and links between past, present, and future that shape decisions. While showing some similarities to family therapy, ecosystemic family mediation is a discrete process with clearly defined principles and boundaries. In practice, it needs to be tailored to the needs of the particular family, with special attention to the importance of listening and talking with children who are experiencing parental separation and major changes in their lives. Family mediators help family members to manage change. Mediators need to look for change within themselves too, remaining open to new ideas and the development of their thinking and practice.     

《庄子·齐物论》通释

全文分为两部分。在第一部分,笔者从《齐物论》内容出发,联系中国哲学的基本特征,解决了对题目含义历来存有歧见的问题;并对全文结构和被认为纠葛不清的内容,进行了清理。在第二部分,笔者从对《齐物论》基本概念的解释入手,上溯老子哲学,联系庄子的其他篇章,对文中的重要概念,进行了全面的梳理,并且论证出在观念世界里,没有人类生命价值的绝对真理,得出了与当代存在主义类似的结论。最后,笔者指出了“庄周梦蝶”寓言的蕴涵,认为：前人和时贤的误解,来源于对寓言所起的总结全篇的作用重视不够,也对庄子创作《齐物论》仅仅是属于观念世界里的一种真理追求的努力,认识不清。

从认知语言学角度看英汉语时间概念隐喻的差异

英汉语在“时间是空间”、“时间流逝是运动”、“时间是金钱”、“时间是实体”等主要时间概念隐喻及相应的语言表达形式中虽有很多相同之处,但也存在着差异。这些差异来源于英汉不同的认知和社会文化背景。     

跨界融合,全面提升中国传媒的国际传播力

中国传媒在国际传播格局中处于弱势,为了全面提升中国传媒的国际传播力,要制定国家文化发展战略,树立文化传播的主体意识;争夺有效话语权;提升对外翻译的影响力;借鉴国外媒体的经验、现成的国际传播渠道,提高与境外媒体打交道的能力;构建合理的现代传播体系,打造国际一流媒体。
