Timing of Remarriage Among Divorced and Widowed Parents

Research on timing of parental remarriage is important to understanding consequences of remarriage for children. In this study, survival analyses were conducted predicting timing of parental remarriage from parental loss in a sample of 3,774 offspring whose parents divorced or whose mother or father died during childhood. Transition to remarriage was quicker for parents who divorced compared to those who were widowed, especially for fathers. By examining timing of remarriage from the perspective of parents, and thus children, we identify not only who is more likely to experience parental remarriage, but when remarriage is likely to occur.     

Death of a child: Perspective of Chinese mothers in Singapore

The grief of Chinese mothers is examined in a phenomenological exploratory study. Grieving for the deceased child is moderated by diverse Chinese religious beliefs intertwined with cultural practices. Five aspects of grieving include giving meaning to the child’s life and death, quality and assurance of the afterlife, the function of crying, and a continuing bond. Extrapolating from the mothers’ grieving are questions related to the implications of children’s death for other family members and the significance of the interconnectedness of the self, others, the environment and the universe in processing a crisis through religion and spirituality in multicultural social work.     

海明威文学小说的悲剧特色和死亡意识

从古希腊悲剧开始,不管哪个时期的悲剧文本,虽然有各自的形式,有诸多差异,但最终殊途同归,都有着相同的结局。悲剧意识几乎成为了文学作品的共同特征,值得一提的是,悲剧特色往往会与死亡意识相结合,让文学作品散发出较强的生命意识。海明威的文学小说作品凝聚了悲剧性和死亡性两大要素,让小说本身充满了对于生命和人性的拷问。     

Children, death and ageism

The position of children in the social order can be seen as an ambiguous one. On the one hand, they are highly valued, at a rhetorical level at least, as the basis of the future generation. On the other hand, however, they can be seen to be marginalized and disenfranchised, protected from more aspects of social life than is strictly necessary. This paper explores some of the important issues relating to children's disenfranchised social position, with specific reference to issues relating to death, dying and bereavement.     

论女性发展在社会发展中的作用——浅谈联合国千年发展目标中关于女性的发展

人们往往只是在传统价值观、风俗等社会学方面关注女性的发展,却忽视了女性发展也是社会发展和经济发展中的一个重要因素。女性的发展和教育水平影响了人口的出生率、儿童的教育水平和教育的效果并对资本的形成、劳动力资源的形成这两个经济发展中最重要的因素以及人类对抗疾病的效果等一系列社会发展因素产生重要影响。女性发展与各个国家经济发展差异的有显著的关联关系。对于中国不同地区的女性发展差异,尤其是男孩和女孩发展的明显差别不单纯地因为传统的价值观,更重要的是因为社会保障制度的不完善和不合理的改革。

近代巴蜀诗人李士棻生卒年及别号考略

近代巴蜀诗人李士棻曾被曾国藩誉为“太白醉魂”,为曾府门下“四川三李”之一,其诗作有浓郁的巴蜀文化特色。然李氏仕宦不显,长期以来学界对其关注不足,学界近年不多的相关研究,多围绕国内所存的文献,对其诗歌创作进行艺术分析,对诗人的生平介绍多简单略过,没有严谨的考证,目前仍然很有争议。通过搜罗国内外现存典籍,综合目前所见李士棻本人著述,辅以晚清近代重要报刊《申报》和与李氏有交往的朝鲜文人文献,考证其生卒年及别号,冀为今后的相关研究解决基础问题。

SPECIAL ISSUE： EXAMINING THE DEATH PENALTY IN CHINA An empirical study of the application of death penalty

本文以最高法院示范性案例中的全部“死罪”案例为样本进行法律解释学的实证研究，发现了犯罪中是否构成死罪、死罪中是否适用死刑、死刑中是否立即执行的一些重要不同，并根据这些发现认为，法律解释既是规范判断又是自主判断，应尽可能提高法律本身的明确性以呼唤死刑适用更大程度上向规范层面的回归。
