《广绝交论》新探

南朝刘孝标的<广绝交论>是一篇奇文,<南史>认为此文意在讽刺到溉、到洽兄弟,这是一种狭义的理解.从"兰台聚"诸子与任NC038的交谊及任NC038卒时他们的官职、地位、处境来看,能够并应该伸出援手的不仅是到氏兄弟,而且还包括任NC038在世时与其相交颇深的一大批士人,梁武帝和沈约也在其中.因而,<广绝交论>针砭的主要对象,是齐梁时期的炎凉世风,而不仅仅是个别人士.<广绝交论>之所以入选<文选>,主要原因不是刘孝绰在其中的作用,而是其本身在思想和艺术方面取得的杰出成就.

论杜预《春秋》学在《春秋》学史上的地位

汉代今古文之争的焦点是《左氏春秋》是否传《春秋》,这个问题始终没有解决。杜预《春秋经传集解》通过确定“正例”、“变例”以及《春秋》学传授系统,并著成《春秋释例》,构建了相对完整的左氏《春秋》学体系,使《左氏春秋》从一部史书变成解经的《春秋左氏传》,标志着古文经学取得了最后的胜利。同时,杜预构建的左氏《春秋》学体系,对后世《春秋》学研究产生了极为重要的影响,成为《春秋》学史上的一座里程碑。     

Possibilistic scheduling routing for short-notice bushfire emergency evacuation under uncertainties: An Australian case study

This paper aims to develop a capacitated vehicle routing solution to evacuate short-notice evacuees with time windows and disruption risks under uncertainties during a bushfire. A heuristic solution technique is applied to solve the triangular possibilistic model to optimise emergency delivery service. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by comparing it with a designed genetic algorithm on sets of 20 numerical examples. The model is then applied to the real case study of 2009 Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria, Australia. The results show that it is possible to transfer the last-minute evacuees during the Black Saturday bushfires under the hard time window constraint. Network disruptions however have impact on resource utilisation. The modelling outputs will be useful in the development of emergency plans and evacuation strategies to enhance rapid response to last-minute evacuation in a bushfire emergency.     

Do we practice (or teach) what we preach? Developing a more inclusive learning environment to better prepare social work students for practice through improving the explorationof their different ethnicities within teaching,learning and assessment opportunities.

ABSTRACT

Teaching experience at the University of Suffolk noted anecdotally that Black Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) students avoid discussing their identity, cultural heritage, norms and values, in lectures, tutor groups and in assignments.

To improve the integration of different cultural perspectives into the social work curriculum, we devised a small-scale qualitative research project Spring, 2017, to explore students’ views of teaching, learning and assessment about cultural norms and differences, seeking the views of both BAME students and white students on the programme in order to compare and contrast their experiences.

Focus groups were used to gather the views of BAME and white students about the opportunities and barriers to discussing identity, culture, and anti-racism. The findings raised significant issues, specifically about the barriers for both BAME and white students to considering cultural differences. Student perspectives suggest more sensitive approaches to considering cultural differences; more responsibility for white lecturers to explore white privilege and its impact; and more safe spaces to manage emotional responses to oppression to enable exchange of experience and learning about different cultural norms and values. The article analyses the findings, discussing ways forward to improve the student experience and promote good practice in teaching and learning.     

NEW COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIES - A conduit for social inclusion

There has an outpouring of energy and creativity into ways of using information and communications technologies (ICT) and the information society (IS) to create inclusion, as an opportunity to tackle, reduce and even prevent social exclusion. This article is based on examining over 40 projects which constitute positive examples of applications of new technologies, by public authorities, private agencies and community groups, to reduce the disadvantage experienced by the more excluded groups in our society.     

Real-time scheduling and control of one-of-a kind production

Due to the great diversity of product types in one-of-a-kind production (OKP), the production scheduling and control in OKP is much more difficult than production scheduling and control of other production systems, e.g. mass production and batch production. Hence, the production efficiency in OKP companies is relatively lower. To improve productivity in OKP, a dynamic hierarchy production control system is presented. Using this control structure, a production system in an OKP company can be flexibly organized or re-organized according to the structure of a customized product (or an OKP product). Production synchronizing and scheduling algorithms for OKP shop floor production control are presented. Using these algorithms, a cybernetic model can be developed for shop floor control in OKP. The algorithms are applied to two alternate production scheduling goals in OKP, namely ASAP (as soon as possible) production and JIT (just in time) production.     

An Unten(ur)able Position : The Politics of Teaching for Women of Color in the US

The U.S. academy wants 'multiculturalism' in the classroom. But its public rhetoric of fairness, standards, and diversity falls far short of its exclusionary actions in private, particularly for women of color faculty at tenure time. Tenure evaluations, we propose, reflect a narrative of institutional power that perpetuates the academy's religiouscolonial legacy. Priest-Novitiate relations rule the academy more than a community of peers. Accordingly, women of color faculty face not just a glass ceiling when it comes to tenure and promotions. Rather, they encounter a more subtle, complex, and insidious form of resistance. It consists of a specificconfiguration of racial (white), gender (male), class (aristocratic or upwardly-mobile), and cultural (Western medieval) criteria that women of color cannot possibly satisfy. We conclude with some suggestions for transforming these social relations in the academy.     

邓小平对中美关系正常化的杰出贡献

从1974年开始,邓小平参与到中美关系正常化的工作中来。他积极促成了福特总统访华,福特访华期间,中美之间在建交问题上取得了重大共识。1978年,在中美建交谈判的关键时刻,是邓小平的智慧让谈判取得成功。1979年,邓小平访问美国,巩固了中美关系不断改善的势头,并向世界传递了中国将走向开放的重要信息。     

CENTRAL EUROPE GOES POSTCOLONIAL: NEW APPROACHES TO THE HABSBURG EMPIRE AROUND 1900

This contribution gives a short outline of an international research project which started in Vienna in 2001, entitled ‘Power,Ethnicity and Literature in Austria-Hungary from 1867 to 1918’. This project is proposing a quasi-postcolonial view on the culture(s) of the late Habsburg monarchy and their identity construction/identity politics.
