‘Family money’ and ‘business money’: bankrupt entrepreneurs in a ‘question situation’

This paper addresses the question of bankruptcy and honesty in local contexts, and especially the problem of the bankrupt small businessman in conveying ‘honesty’ to the local community. Studying bankrupt entrepreneurs, the analysis explores a tacit dialogue between the failed businessmen and the small town communities where they live and work. The bankrupts respond to their seemingly mistrustful surroundings by demonstrating their respect for the dividing line between two social categories of money: ‘company money’ and ‘family money’. This discursive resource expresses business ethics and respectability, both essential for the bankrupt entrepreneur to start another business in the local community. The empirical material in the study consists of interviews with 22 businessmen who had created small businesses and experienced at least one bankruptcy, half of them in small towns. The entrepreneurs were found through court records and word of mouth. Interviews were conducted by the author and by graduate students from the Department of Sociology in Lund. All interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim.     

Sex and Gender Implications in Cases of Elder Abuse

This paper focuses on caregiving which has failed. Although little attention has been given to the role of sex and gender in elder abuse, an analysis of 77 cases of elder abuse seen in the Detroit area in 1981 revealed that both factors play a role in generating elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation, or in determining its form. Gender issues included: patterns of spouse abuse in old a e; gender differences in the types of abuse/neglect/exploitation wfich were perpetrated; gender concerns of the abuser which generate abuse; and sex or gender discrimination as a type of abuse of the elderly. Sexual factors observed included: parent-child incest; marital rape in old age; and problems of sexual malfunction which helped to generate the abuse. Suggestions for improved professional identification and management of elder abuse cases are made.     

古代文学中的竹林

竹子是中国古代文学最重要的植物题材之一，竹林又是竹子题材文学的重要表现对象。我国古代竹林资源丰富，相关文学创作源远流长，作品繁多，展现了古代文人丰富的观赏经验和审美情趣。竹林较为亲近人居，丛生竹林结丛而生，散生竹林上合下疏。不同季节、气候、环境条件下的竹林景象具有不同的美感。竹坞、竹坡、竹溪、竹径等意境幽雅，成了文人最乐于吟赏的风景。     

The Examination of Emotional Facial Expressions Within Parent–Child and Sibling Interactive Contexts: A Systematic Review

This work constitutes a systematic review of the empirical literature about emotional facial expressions displayed in the context of family interaction. Searches of electronic databases from January 1990 until December 2016 generated close to 4400 articles, of which only 26 met the inclusion criteria. Evidence indicate that affective expressions were mostly examined through laboratory and naturalistic observations, within a wide range of interactive contexts in which mother–child dyads significantly outnumbered father–child dyads. Moreover, dyadic partners were found to match each others’ displays and positive and neutral facial expressions proving more frequent than negative facial expressions. Finally, researchers observed some developmental and gender differences regarding the frequency, intensity, and category of emotional displays and identified certain links among facial expression behavior, family relations, personal adjustment, and peer-related social competence.     

地方政府逐利性现象的深度解读

随着我国社会主义市场经济条件的形成，一些地方政府以粗放型的增长方式和牺牲社会公众利益来实现其财政收入的快速增长问题越来越突出。这种地方政府逐利性行为不仅使各地间陷入了恶性竞争的循环之中，而且也使公众福祉、市场秩序、政府公信力以及可持续发展的社会遭到严重损害。     

Effects of the Mechanism of Receptor-Mediated Gene Expression on the Shape of the Dose-Response Curve

A mathematical model of receptor-mediated gene expression that includes receptor binding of natural and xenobiotic ligands, protein synthesis and degradation, and metabolism of the xenobiotic ligand was created to identify the determinants of the shape of the dose-response profile. Values of the model's parameters were varied to reflect alternative mechanisms of expression of the protein. These assumptions had dramatic effects on the computed response to a bolus dose of the xenobiotic ligand. If all processes in the model exhibit hyperbolic kinetics, the dose-response curves can appear sigmoidal but actually be linear with a positive slope at low doses. The slope of the curve only approached zero at low dose, indicative of a threshold for response, if binding of the xenobiotic ligand to the receptor exhibited positive cooperativity (ligand binding at one site increases the affinity for ligand at another binding site on the receptor). Positive cooperativity in the rate-limiting step of protein synthesis produced dose-response curves which were "U-shaped" at low doses, also indicative of a threshold. Positive cooperativity in the metabolism of the xenobiotic ligand produced dose-response curves that increased more rapidly than linearly with increasing dose. The model illustrates the fact that response cannot be predicted from qualitative mechanistic arguments alone; any assessment of risk to health from xenobiotic chemicals must be based on a detailed quantitative examination of the kinetic behavior of each chemical species individually.

略论旅游服务语言艺术

旅游服务语言是旅游工作者与旅游者之间为了表达愿望、交流感情、进行交往和解决各种问题而使用的一种媒介和工具。它具有规范性与灵活性统一、文明性和职业性等个性特征。在运用旅游服务语言时应充分关注宾客的个性特点、突出语言的针对性 ,应充分发挥无声语言的作用 ,增强语言的感染力 ,同时用词规范准确得体、通俗易懂 ,并根据语境调节语速语调 ,灵活运用多种表现手法 ,方能取得客我双方满意的效果     

屈原骚怨心境剖析

屈原骚怨心境的生成源于"信而见疑,忠而被谤"的处境,其"骚(忧)"有二:得不到国君信任之"忧",找不到志同道合者之"忧";其"怨"亦有二:楚王昏聩之"怨",群小谗陷之"怨"。诗人以神话思维方式,运用多种艺术手段抒写内心的骚怨情怀,这种思维方式的运用与诗人所生活的楚地盛行巫风、巫文化有关。骚怨心境驱使诗人进行审美创造活动,诗人的骚怨心境在审美创造活动中得以宣泄。     

译论固可立 译笔价更高——翻译理论与实践矛盾浅析

该文通过对若干翻译教材和翻译论著中一些翻译实例的分析,揭示了这样一个现象:无论是翻译教材还是论著,在理论论述上都颇成一体,但著者在翻译实践上均暴露出功力不足或细心不够,故而,这些教材和论著的指导作用无论在技术上还是在学风上都大打折扣.笔者认为,翻译理论固然重要,但良好的翻译质量则是翻译研究的灵魂所在,也是翻译课程质量的保证所在.即所谓"译论固可立,译笔价更高".
