摩梭母系婚姻家庭形态研究的再思考

中国西南地区泸沽湖周围的摩梭人,至今仍保留着母系家庭与母系文化,这从一个重要方面展现了中华文化及人类社会文化的多样性.近年来,由于经济社会发展的不断加快,摩梭母系家庭数量已明显减少,余下的母系家庭也渐"空壳化".在摩梭母系文化面临解体之时,学术界应深入研究,为这一文化的保护提供参考.泸沽湖周边摩梭母系婚姻家庭的出现与长期延续,除与其居住地特殊自然、地理环境有关外,还与其族源有关.泸沽湖摩梭人的母系文化虽然有其特点,但应是川滇之间历史上曾存在的"母系文化带"的一部份.摩梭社会中出现母系、父系及双系家庭并存现象有着经济、政治、文化等多方面的原因,但双系家庭并非母系家庭与父系家庭间的过渡.摩梭母系文化的深入研究,还应注意与四川甘孜道孚县扎巴母系文化作比较,这样既可更多的更大范围的了解"母系文化带",也可加深对泸沽湖边摩梭母系文化特点的认识.

走出电子游戏的“概念化”误区

目前我国电子游戏业所面临的问题是,市场上充斥着大量模式单一、缺乏内涵的作品,在看似繁荣的游戏事业表象下,隐藏着巨大的发展危机。这一危机带来的不良后果使大批的青少年沉迷于虚幻的网络世界而不能自拔,并且严重阻碍了电子游戏事业自身的发展。对待这些问题,既不能简单的围追堵截,也不能置之不管任由其恶化．而应该以长远的眼光重新去审视这一现象的根本问题所在,寻找有效可行的解决办法。针对某些游戏从业者所持有的错误观点,试图从电子游戏美学角度去诠释制约电子游戏发展的几点观念上的问题。     

体制转型中的民意表达及其约束机制

民意表达渠道在计划经济向市场经济体制转型过程中表现出的不适应,是民意表达渠道梗阻的重要原因。从制度上解决民意表达渠道的梗阻问题,需逐步建立与完善促进民意充分表达的制度体系,并针对体制转型时期特点,积极探索有利于制度化保障民意渠道畅通的过渡性措施、方法,推进疏通民意表达渠道的实践逐步走上制度化的轨道。同时要深入民意表达渠道程序设计、指标评价体系研究,逐步建立和完善保障民意表达渠道便捷、畅通的制约机制。     

抗战时期大后方的诗歌观念及其艺术价值

大后方诗歌研究的滞后导致人们对大后方特殊的诗歌观念的忽视。从抗战时期大后方诗歌情感内容的探讨、诗人创作路向的选择、诗歌民族形式问题的论争以及抗战诗歌艺术缺失的批判等角度展现大后方诗歌观念的概貌,对现阶段科学解读抗战时期大后方的诗歌观念及其艺术价值提供了新的思路。     

The Peasant World in the Discourse of Generational Sorrow

This article spells out the methodological considerations and various procedural and methodological subtleties developed over the author's quarter century of sociological field studies of Russia's peasant worlds. Particular attention is paid to “voices from below”—peasant discursive formats that capture, in natural and undiluted form, the evolution of peasant practices constituting the core of everyday life. In particular, the phenomenon of generational sorrow and a special chronological nostalgia that functions as a “social gyroscope” is identified and discursively captured. This phenomenon is noteworthy and useful for its ability to retain a record of the productively longed for past in a rural community's collective memory and thereby influence new peasant worlds taking shape today.     

Stepchildren’s Communicative and Emotional Journey from Divorce to Remarriage: Predictors of Stepfamily Satisfaction

This study explores the emotional and communicative profiles of young adults who have experienced a parental divorce and the emergence of a stepfamily to better understand influences on stepfamily satisfaction. Results of regression analyses indicate that strong negative emotions experienced at the time of the divorce are a negative predictor of current stepfamily satisfaction, even after controlling for age at the time of the divorce. In addition, level of open self-disclosure to a stepparent, although not parents, is a positive predictor of current stepfamily satisfaction. Finally, the extent to which the father has now fully explained the circumstances of the divorce is a positive predictor of current stepfamily satisfaction, whereas the extent to which mother has now fully explained the circumstances of the divorce is a negative predictor of current stepfamily satisfaction. These findings are discussed and future directions for research on stepfamily interaction and satisfaction are offered.     

Temporal prediction of future state occupation in a multistate model from high-dimensional baseline covariates via pseudo-value regression

In many complex diseases such as cancer, a patient undergoes various disease stages before reaching a terminal state (say disease free or death). This fits a multistate model framework where a prognosis may be equivalent to predicting the state occupation at a future time t. With the advent of high-throughput genomic and proteomic assays, a clinician may intent to use such high-dimensional covariates in making better prediction of state occupation. In this article, we offer a practical solution to this problem by combining a useful technique, called pseudo-value (PV) regression, with a latent factor or a penalized regression method such as the partial least squares (PLS) or the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), or their variants. We explore the predictive performances of these combinations in various high-dimensional settings via extensive simulation studies. Overall, this strategy works fairly well provided the models are tuned properly. Overall, the PLS turns out to be slightly better than LASSO in most settings investigated by us, for the purpose of temporal prediction of future state occupation. We illustrate the utility of these PV-based high-dimensional regression methods using a lung cancer data set where we use the patients’ baseline gene expression values.     

Sometimes Words Just Ain't Enough – Enhancing the Contribution of Children in Therapy through Creative Expression

The meaningful inclusion of children in family therapy is an ideal that therapists readily align with and yet struggle to implement effectively. Within a practice that relies heavily on verbal expression, young children provide a unique challenge for therapists, who require developmentally appropriate opportunities for the child to express, document, and share his or her experience in all its richness and colour. In this paper the author utilises art therapy to support greater inclusion of children in family therapy by capitalising on their creative talents and facilitating the child's visual story within the family dialogue. This can assist in the formulation and treatment of systemic issues.     

日语复合动词中的甚词研究

日语复合动词里的部分后项动词以及部分前项动词在构词过程中产生了语法化变化,失去了该词汇所具有的本来意义。其语法作用相当于汉语中表示极端程度的甚词表达,主要用来表示程度或者强调等意义。但是,日语甚词表达和汉语甚词表达之间在所用词汇上没有交集。所以,不能使用汉语甚词表达去套用日语的甚词表达。
