On the mode of administering a questionnaire and responses to open-ended items

Concurrently administered personal and telephone surveys are compared to measure differences between the modes for identical questions. Speed of questioning is found to be greater in telephone interviews than personal interviews. The faster pace of telephone interviews is linked to shorter answers to open-ended items on the telephone. The tendency to reduce such responses is disproportionately exhibited by younger, affluent respondents who tend to provide detailed responses in personal interviews.     

永嘉四灵诗派诗人考

本文从甄别江湖诗派与四灵诗派出发,藉助地方志、传记、诗人诗作等文献资料,钩稽出三十馀位隶属永嘉四灵诗派诗人.这一发现,证实了在南宋中后期诗坛,永嘉地方确实存在过一个人数甚夥的诗派,推翻了以往学界认为四灵人数太少、不足立派的成说.     

我国高等职业教育发展前景研究

高等职业教育经过几十年发展,取得了令人瞩目的成绩,但随着国内企业技术升级和改造,原有高职教育人才培养模式已不适应社会发展需要,导致国内企业缺乏大量高水平技术人才和普通技术工人,严重影响到企业可持续发展能力和核心竞争力。本文针对我国当前高等职业教育发展过程存在的问题进行分析,期待能够从培养理念和培养模式上改变高等职业教育发展面临的困境。     

哈军工与哈工大之关系及其他(1952-1954)——以哈尔滨军事工程学院档案为主

1952—1954年,苏联援助新中国创办的第一所高等军事技术学府哈尔滨军事工程学院与20世纪20年代以苏联为主创建的哈尔滨工业大学之间,有着许多鲜为人知的关系。哈尔滨军事工程学院在选择校址、学科建设、师资培养以及学员实习等教学环节,大都是在充分考虑哈尔滨工业大学这一因素的前提下确定的、尤其是陈康白担任哈尔滨工业大学校长期间,在自身师资缺乏的情况下,积极支援哈尔滨军事工程学院的教学和师资队伍建设,为国防科技人才的培养做出了积极的贡献。两校之间这种非同寻常的关系,在很大程度上是由于苏联全面介入新中国高等教育,尤其是国防科技工业领域所致,继而对各自产生十分不同的影响,耐人寻味。     

Ethical uneasiness and the need for open-ended reflexivity: the case of research into older people with a wish to die

This article focuses on research ethics in highly intimate research with possible impact on life and death. In order to stimulate an open-ended dialogue about research ethics, we reflect on four ethical challenges that came up during our research into older people with a wish to die. Drawing on our experiences, we discuss (1) the possibly confirming influence of our research on the death wish (moral experience of whether or not to disregard responsibility); (2) the suggested duty to intervene (moral experience of whether or not to compromise the person’s autonomy); (3) the researcher’s authority and power over the data (moral experience of threatening a person’s self-narrative) and (4) the dilemma of intimacy (moral experience of encountering the tragic). For guidance in addressing these challenges, we draw upon work on research ethics from phenomenological and care ethics scholars, as well as from those writing about relational ethics in health research. We suggest that being open about ethical uneasiness is important, because in most cases of a grey area, there are only open-ended answers needing an enquiring mind, rather than clear and fixed guidelines. Acknowledgement of ethical uneasiness and open-ended reflexivity are indispensable to constitute a morally good research practice.

Research Subject Advocate: A New Protector of Research Participants

In 2001, the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) directed the 78 General Clinical Research Centers (GCRC) to develop a Research Subject Advocate (RSA) position. The RSA would report directly to the Principal Investigator (PI) of each GCRC and assure compliance of studies conducted on the GCRC with federal regulations and policies. Seven RSAs agreed to be interviewed about their new role. Website documents, electronic correspondence, and presentations at the first annual national meeting of RSAs were scrutinized using discursive analysis to shed light on this new organizational form and its potential for increased protection of human research participants. The RSA role actualizes the ethical principles of respect for persons, justice, and beneficence that are the foundation of the protection of research participants. The results also reveal the regulatory, institutional, collegial, and personal resources and barriers that assist the RSA in the successful implementation of the RSA role. In addition, issues important to the RSAs are described.     

Encountering Microcomputers

Explored are the typical features of the experiences of first time, novice microcomputer users who are unfamiliar with basic computer equipment. Upon encountering a microcomputer for the first time such persons face a set of novel experiences including inadequate knowledge, altered sense of time, concerns about scarce capacity and dexterity, technological anxiety, and several other factors. Questions are raised about the consequences of encountering microcomputers among first time users in an effort to explicate the most important factors associated with successful accomodation. This analysis may provide helpful information for those engaged in computer training and staff development in the human services.     

平行法则：早期上古汉语中“者”的出现

文章为覆盖前期上古汉语Pre—archaic Chinese（公元前14世纪至公元前11世纪）与早期上古汉语Early—archaic Chinese（公元前11世纪至公元前6世纪）的历时性研究，目的在于更好地揭示早期上古时代所出现的“者”之功用。研究表明，“者”的功能与前期上古所出现的“之”的功能间存在着“平行对应”关系，我们将此关系定义为“平行法”机制，此机制从属于“类比”。存在于“之”与“者”之间的“平行法”机制可能促使了“者”的功能的涌现。
