Border Crossings and Diasporic Identities: Media Use and Leisure Practices of an Ethnic Minority

The diaspora of peoples whose origins were in the Indian subcontinent (South Asia) and who are now living in Western countries (especially the U.S. and UK) provides an interesting example of processes of negotiation of new hybrid cultures and identities, using new technologies, such as the Internet, and older technologies like the video player, cable or satellite television, radio, and telephone. These developments may require a revision of the classic sociological picture of assimilation as a zero sum model of acculturation, in which the acculturation of immigrants and their children involves the gradual replacement of their ethnic culture by that of the culture of the host nation. The electronic media, in the context of policies of multiculturalism, may lead to an accentuation of religio-ethnic differences. Contrary to previous assumptions, middle-class immigrants may be more inclined to resist cultural assimilation than their lower-class counterparts.     

大学文化建设探析

党的十七大把“加强文化建设，明显提高全民族文明素质”作为全面建设小康社会的新要求，发出“兴起社会主义文化建设新高潮”的号召。大学是传承、创新、引领文化的重要基地，理应在提升国家文化软实力方面发挥重要作用。文章针对存在对大学文化的模糊认识，对大学文化的若干要素，以及建设大学文化的原则要求等作了初步的分析和思考。

完全学分制下高校辅导员建设

学分制是目前倍受关注的全国高等教育改革热点之一,它的建立和完善在我国高校的改革与发展中具有重要意义,对高校辅导员的工作提出了更加严峻的挑战。     

文化领导权与知识分子的使命

葛兰西基于文化领导权理论提出了一条总体性、内在性的、渐进性的文化变革途径,这一理论突出了知识分子在实现文化变革和社会变革中的重要作用。在文化困境普遍化的当今时代,文化变革已经具有了直接的社会变革的意义,通过知识分子化获得文化领导权也几乎成为社会变革的唯一途径。因此,为了能够引领文化变革,知识分子重要使命就是克服自身严重的分化状态,使自身和社会实现知识分子化,从而克服文化困境,进而推动社会变革。

An affine‐invariant multivariate sign test for cluster correlated data

The author presents a multivariate location model for cluster correlated observations. He proposes an affine‐invariant multivariate sign statistic for testing the value of the location parameter. His statistic is an adaptation of that proposed by Randles (2000). The author shows, under very mild conditions, that his test statistic is asymptotically distributed as a chi‐squared random variable under the null hypothesis. In particular, the test can be used for skewed populations. In the context of a general multivariate normal model, the author obtains values of his test's Pitman asymptotic efficiency relative to another test based on the overall average. He shows that there is an improvement in the relative performance of the new test as soon as intra‐cluster correlation is present Even in the univariate case, the new test can be very competitive for Gaussian data. Furthermore, the statistic is easy to compute, even for large dimensional data. The author shows through simulations that his test performs well compared to the average‐based test. He illustrates its use with real data.     

道家文化与和谐文化构建

道家文化与和谐文化的关系是十分密切的.以老子、庄子为代表的道家文化包含着十分丰富的和谐内涵,尤其是道家所提倡的"道法自然"、"辩证趋反"、"无为而为"、"慈俭居后"的基本理论主张,更是十分集中地体现了道家的和谐理念和思想,是十分宝贵的和谐思想文化资源,可以极大地丰富社会主义和谐文化的内涵.因此,在社会主义和谐文化构建过程中,我们应吸收其精华,并将其融入社会主义和谐文化之中.
