Towards an assessment for organizational participatory research health partnerships: A systematic mixed studies review with framework synthesis

Within the health sciences, organizational participatory research (OPR) is defined as a blend of research and action, in which academic researchers partner with health organization members. OPR is based on a sound partnership between all stakeholders to improve organizational practices. However, little research on the evaluation of OPR health partnership exists. This systematic mixed studies review sought to produce a new theoretical model that structures the evaluation of the OPR processes and related outcomes of OPR health partnerships. Six bibliographic databases were searched together with grey literature sources for OPR health partnership evaluation questionnaires. Six questionnaires were included, from which a pool of 95 OPR health partnership evaluation items were derived. The included questionnaires were appraised for the quality of their origin, development and measurement properties. A framework synthesis was performed using an existing OPR framework by organizing questionnaire items in a matrix using a hybrid thematic analysis. This led to our proposed Organizational Participatory Research Evaluation Model (OPREM) that includes three axes, Trust, Collective Learning and Sustainability (with specific dimensions) and 95 items. This model provides information to help stakeholders comprehensively structure the evaluation of their partnerships and subsequent improvement; thus, potentially helping to improve health organization practices.     

A critical approach to wage devaluation: The case of Spanish economic recovery

In line with the orientation of EU economic policy, the Spanish government has favoured a strategy of internal devaluation as a way of adjusting price levels within the currency union. The results of empirical studies indicate that the internal devaluation applied in Spain does not seem to have attained the desired goals in terms of reducing the relative prices of exports and consolidating a model of growth based on external demand. Indeed, the estimates drawn up show that tailwinds – the depreciation of the euro and the fall in risk premium as results of the measures taken by the ECB, greater economic activity by trading partners and the fall in the price of oil – exercised a decisive influence in the trends followed by the prices of exports and the balance of trade during the period of crisis management in Spain.     

Pussy grabs back: bestialized sexual politics and intersectional failure in protest posters for the 2017 women’s march

The women’s march on Washington on January 21 2017 and its more than 600 sister marches across the world was characterized by its distinctly feline theme. Most notable were the pink pussy hats and a multitude of signs that played on the historical association between women and cats to resist the crude remarks made by US presidential nominee Donald Trump who bragged of grabbing women “by the pussy.” This article explores this feline counterframing from a vegan feminist perspective. A content analysis was performed on photographs that were published in Why I March (2017) and uploaded to the Women’s March on Washington Archives Project, the Georgia State University Women’s Marches 2017 Collection, and Instagram in Spring 2017. Results illustrate the persistent role that animality plays in feminist politics, but they also point to a critical intersectional failure exhibited by an ultimately anthropocentric collective.     

西方女性主义翻译理论述评

西方女性主义与翻译研究的结合在上世纪 70年代开始便给传统翻译理论和实践观念带来了强烈的冲击 ,产生了丰硕的理论成果。然而与国内文艺理论界对女性主义理论的广泛介绍和深入研究相比 ,女性主义翻译理论的介绍明显滞后 ,与当前国内深入讨论的后殖民翻译研究的情形也无法相提并论 ,实质性的深入研究更是罕见。尝试对西方女性主义翻译研究进行全面地介绍 ,以便能引起国内译学界的重视 ,促进这一方面的深入研究     

翻译研究动静观

翻译是过程也是结果。从翻译过程来看,翻译是"语境重构"的跨文化跨语言交际过程,从翻译结果来看,翻译是产生同原文等效的译文。翻译过程研究催生以译者为中心的翻译动态研究,从狭义角度看,是翻译语境研究,即从译者视角考察翻译过程中的"语境重构",以及由此产生的宏观翻译策略及微观翻译方法的研究;从广义角度看,是从研究者视角进行包括翻译语境在内的源语语境、原文语境和译语语境、译文语境的翻译语境化研究。翻译结果研究产生以译文为中心,重视译文批评的翻译质量评估的静态研究,涉及翻译质量评估模式的建立和翻译质量评估参数的设定等。两种翻译途径殊途同归,从不同角度研究翻译本质。     

略论闽语研究的“西进”

闽语通行地域跨越多个省份及海外华人社区,人口大约不会少于7000万人。闽语研究历史悠久,成果丰硕。研究面日益扩大,研究内容日益深化。然而,以往的闽语研究,仍存在着研究布局不够平衡的问题。研究的范围多集中在闽南、闽东这两支上,以福建的厦、漳、泉闽南话及粤东属闽南方言系统的潮汕话,和以福州话为代表的闽东闽语成果较为可观。而相对忽略了对边远的、分散的闽语方言点的调查。为此,文章认为闽语研究应尽可能扩大调查的覆盖面,提出多把眼光射向那些分布在闽语大本营闽、台以西的海南岛、粤西南以及广西境内的闽语通行地区,是为“西进”。     

略论钱锺书的以诗解《诗》

钱锺书《管锥编》读《毛诗正义》,是别具一格的以诗解《诗》的典范之作。本文主要探讨了钱锺书先生尊旧解而出新意的研究手段、设身诗境探幽发微和多诗合观及平行研究的方法。     

亚裔美国文学批评中的美国民族主义思想

在反叛欧洲文学价值的基础上兴起和发展起来的美国传统文学批评,把研究美国文学作为对美国理念的阐释、对美国文化的构建,与作为现实国家和一种思想概念的美国相互依存,成为美国民族主义思想的重要载体。以反叛具有深刻种族主义内涵的美国传统文学批评为起点和目标的亚裔美国文学批评,从表面上看,与前者势不两立。但是,亚裔美国文学批评坚信,亚裔美国人的族裔认同是美国民族认同的一部分,把对亚裔族裔认同的诠释,作为对美国民族认同和美国理念的再诠释和再完善,结果,相当一批亚裔作品,因与美国主题无缘,被拒之于亚裔美国文学大门之外,其批评理念的民族主义实质暴露无遗。从本质上看,无论是以文化民族主义还是以全球主义为主导的亚裔美国文学批评,都是对传统文学批评的一种承继。美国文学批评的大语境,亚裔移民后代在亚裔美国文学批评中的主导地位,学术为国家权力服务的现实,以及当今为学术而学术的风气等等,是造成这一局面的主要原因。     

百年学术名家留给我们的精神财富

《世纪学人 ,百年影像》共收录当代对社会科学做出突出贡献的老一辈科学家 2 62人 ,分析他们的研究领域和籍贯 ,能够发现 2 0世纪学术发展的领头羊以及学术中心之所在。而他们对各自学科的精辟认识和表述 ,尤其在做人、治学方面的真知灼见 ,则为我们留下了巨大的精神财富。他们强调做人是第一位的 ,认为真诚是沟通做人与治学的桥梁 ,是实现做人与治学两位一体的契合点。甘于寂寞、处心一志、好学深思、勤于耕耘、谦虚向上 ,是他们事业成功的主要因素 ,同时又是做人治学的重要体现。他们在耄耋之年 ,不辞辛劳 ,勤奋工作 ,甘为人梯 ,不知老之将至 ,表现了作为优秀知识分子特有的爱国奉献、奋发向上的精神     

技术学的学科结构和科学定位

技术学作为以技术为研究对象的一系列学科的统称,在19世纪进入草创时期。技术学目前已经建立和有望建立的分支学科,可以区分为普通技术学、理论技术学、专门技术学、应用技术学四个学科群组。在科学知识体系中,技术学是介于数学科学、自然科学与哲学科学、社会科学之间的交叉学科门类,同技术哲学、技术史、工程学、工程技术学等学科门类均有密切的联系。
