Hugh George Brennan: Glasgow University’s First Lecturer in Russian

To date little has been known, and less written, about the life of Hugh George Brennan, Glasgow University's first lecturer in Russian. The uncovering of previously unused Russian and British sources throwing fresh light on his life, intellectual development and occupations has made possible a fuller assessment of a significant figure in Glasgow's contribution to Slavonic Studies. Brennan lived and taught in Russia for 20 years. The resulting intense and unusually intimate experience of Russian life probably explains unconventional aspects of his Glasgow appointment. Brennan was an undoubted educational and social success in Russia. Events in the shape of the February Revolution of 1917 forced him to return to Britain. Glasgow's timely offer of a new position was the start of a very different life. This aspect of Brennan's career is reviewed mainly through his commitment to extensive public activities.

网络“审丑”泛化对大学生思想行为的影响及对策研究

伴随着互联网技术的迅速发展，网络已经深入到大学生生活的每个角落，在缤纷复杂的网络世界中，形形色色的信息充斥着大学生的视野。当媒体和个人都以不健康的眼光对待网络审丑时，错误的世界观、人生观、价值观、与审美观就可能使大学生难以明辨是与非、美与丑。以丑为美，趋丑避美，长此以往，网络审丑泛化将会给社会公众，尤其是正在成长的大学生造成思想混乱、主流价值观颠覆及社会主流文化形态变异的趋势，应引起我们高度重视，是网络思想政治教育领域迫切需要研究和亟待解决的新问题。

从日中比较角度谈日本学者的中国古代文学研究方法论

日本学者家井先生继承赤冢忠先生的学说并加以批判性、实证性的发展 ,从而对《诗经》的《风》、《雅》、《颂》以及“兴”提出了新的理解。石川三佐男先生在楚辞研究中 ,采用了把战国秦汉时期长江流域、楚地等出土的考古资料与《楚辞》诸篇进行比较研究这一前所未有的方法。通过这种方法可以开拓出仅靠文献资料和文献学不能进入的领域。石川先生的《楚辞》研究 ,是以他在二松学舍大学研究生院攻读时 ,在赤冢忠博士指导下所学到研究《诗经》、《楚辞》的方法为基础的。石川先生的研究与赤冢忠博士和其他楚辞研究者的方法截然不同的是 ,他运用了马王堆汉墓出土的“帛画” ,并特别重视长江流域和楚地出土的考古资料。

The public and private purposes of case records

Social welfare agencies have official reasons and requirements for the construction of case records. Sociologists have detected a set of unofficial reasons that shape case records in practice. This paper suggests that case records that record the lives of children in child welfare systems are written, inter alia, to deny the failure of interventions, to justify the refusal to serve “bad clients,” and to justify the decision to extend hegemony over “good” clients.     

Determinants of fertility levels and change among developed countries: 1958–1978

This article provides a multivariate cross-national test of the hypothesis that national population/family planning policies have effected levels, and changes in fertility in developed nations over the past two decades. Variation is assessed in the total fertility rates (TFR) in 1978, and in the change in these rates between 1958 and 1978, among thirty developed countries. Measures include socioeconomic development, divorce, percent in consensual unions, female labor force participation, abortion policy, and level of contraceptive use by married couples and, government population/family planning policy. Seventy percent of the variation in 1978 TFR is related to the percent contracepting, female labor force, and the population/family planning policy measures. These are the only measures with significant direct effects. A longitudinal analysis of 1958 to 1978 change in TFRs is also conducted. This model increases R² to 75%, and the three independent variables remain significant. Implications of these findings for policy makers interested in increasing or decreasing fertility rates are noted.
