清水江文书所见清、民国时期的风水先生——兼与徽州文书的比较

清水江文书是继徽州文书之后发现的较大规模的地方文书群,其绝大部分为土地、山林买卖和商业活动的契约。而其中与社会生活有关的关于风水先生活动的部分文书,反映了清、民国时期风水观念在清水江流域已深入人心．葬地堪舆、阴地买卖在当地已较为盛行。相当活跃的风水先生堪舆报酬除银钱外,不少被酬以所觅之风水宝地之一部分的做法相当普通,并且风水先生还有作为见证参与墓地的财产分割,这与徽州通常以支付风水先生银钱作为报酬以及风水先生不能参与墓地的分割明显有别,不仅反映出两地风水先生之社会地位存在着差别,也折射出两地人文传统与商品经济的发展水平不一致。     

论《藻海无边》中的人物与象征

《简爱》自1847前出版以来,关于如何解读这部小说的讨论与尝试一直没有间断.其中就包括加勒比女作家简＆#183;里斯于1966年出版的小说《藻海无边》.在对《简爱》的改写中,简＆#183;里斯把目光投向原作中阁楼上的疯女人,由此引发了20世纪70年代一场著名的争论.在本文中,作者从女性主义理论和后殖民主义理论的角度,对比分析《藻海无边》与原著《简爱》,进而探讨《藻海无边》中的主要人物与象征.     

Banach空间中二阶非线性微分方程无穷边值问题解的存在性

利用一个比较结果和Mbnch不动点定理,研究了Banach空间中一类二阶非线性微分方程无穷边值问题。通过变量代换,将二阶非线性微分方程边值问题转化为一阶非线性方程组无穷边值问题,在非线性项满足一定的增长性条件下,结合范数定义和不动点理论,获得了解的存在性定理。所得结果改进了某些已知的结论,最后给出了具体应用实例。     

孔学与国学——康有为、梁启超思想比较

近代是西学东渐的时代,也是第一次全面梳理诸子百家之间的关系,对中国本土文化予以整合的时代。在对这些问题的认识上,康有为、梁启超的观点相去甚远:在对诸子百家关系的认定上,康有为宣称"百家皆孔子之学",梁启超认为老子、孔子和墨子是中国文化的"三位大圣";在对中国本土文化的整合上,康有为以孔教称谓中国本土文化,梁启超则直接使用国学概念。这些差异反映了两人不同的文化理念和思想侧重。     

The Importance of Adoption for Nurturing and Enhancing the Emotional and Intellectual Potential of Children

ABSTRACT

The present review examines whether the weight of the evidence indicates that adoption is, indeed, a benefit to the child. Several comparison groups have been used. In a number of studies, in United Kingdom, U.S.A. and India amongst others, a comparison has been made of the outcome of the child in his/her adoptive family to what it would have been had that child remained in her/his biological family, or in an institutional setting. Analyzing all the results, adopted children seem to function better than institutional children or children restored to their biological family.     

Comparison of breastfeeding in rural areas of Sweden and Australia – a cohort study

BackgroundBreastfeeding rates in Sweden and Australia appears to be decreasing in both countries. National statistics shows that 87% of infants in Sweden and 73% in Australia receive any breastfeeding two months of age.AimTo compare women's experiences of breastfeeding in Sweden and Australia and to identify factors associated with breastfeeding two months after birth.MethodsA cohort study in two rural hospitals in mid Sweden (n = 300) and north-eastern Victoria in Australia (n = 91) during 2007–2009. Participants responded to questionnaires in mid pregnancy and two months after birth. Crude and adjusted odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval were used to detect differences between women in both cohorts.FindingsWomen in Sweden (88.3%) were more likely to report any breastfeeding of the baby two months after birth (OR 2.41; 95% CI: 1.33–4.38) compared to women in Australia (75.8%) but were less satisfied with breastfeeding support and information. The most important factor associated with breastfeeding at two months postpartum for the Swedish women was to have received sufficient information about breastfeeding on the postnatal ward (OR 2.3; 95% CI 1.41–4.76) while for the Australian women receiving the best possible help when breastfeeding for the first time was most important (OR 4.3; 95% CI 1.50–12.46).ConclusionThe results indicate that Swedish women were more likely than their Australian counterparts to breastfeed the baby two months after birth. The findings demonstrated the importance of sufficient information and help when breastfeeding is initiated.     

Icon-ising national identity: France and India in comparative perspective

The article embeds the arguments of cultural theory and art history in a political science framework, in order to explain the construction of national identities. In comparing the French national allegory Marianne and her Indian counterpart Bharat Mata, the authors set out to trace the conceptual development of the icons, the psycho-history underlying their ongoing formative processes and their strategic function as signifiers that reinforce national identity. The conceptual prism of icon-ising, as one learns from this comparative analysis is what makes the study of processes of cultural negotiation, and an exploration of their impact on identity-formation possible.

朝鲜民族舞蹈与中国古典舞“气韵”之比较

中国古典舞最为突出的美学特征,便是讲究"气韵".在中国古典舞中,"气"、"韵"分别统领着教学、表演、创作中的"神"与"形".意、气、力、形四者是相互贯通、紧密联系、缺一不可的整体.朝鲜民族舞蹈最显著的特点则是十分强调"韵律",最基本、最典型的"气韵"方式则体现在"粘劲儿"上,并以此构筑了朝鲜民族舞蹈韵律的核心.这种"气韵"相近之因,无外乎由于哲学理念和传统文化之源相通、"气韵"观相同.
