Forced to deal with the future: uncertainty and risk in vocational choices among Portuguese secondary school students

In contemporary societies, adolescents' individuation is largely staged within the educational system, and is defined by several schooling options. This is particularly true when young people reach upper secondary education, as this transition implies the definition of a personal project. In the Portuguese context, authenticity is linked to the ‘obligation’ of choosing – by means of a compulsory vocational choice. To define a personal project that gives studies a meaning becomes a problem pupils have to deal with. Supported on empirical data based on in‐depth interviews to pupils attending 10th and 12th years of upper secondary education in Portuguese public schools, this article discusses some of these issues. Specially, we intend to explore pupils' obligation to exhibit their autonomy by choosing a school path with the awareness of risks that may emerge along with their options.     

Factors Influencing Migrant Workers' Employment and Earnings—The Role of Education and Training

在城市劳动力市场上,农村劳动力根据个人的人力资本积累状况和当地的劳动力 市场条件,在成为自我经营者和工资收入者之间进行就业选择。简单的Mincer工资方 程回归结果显示,工资收入者比自我经营者的教育回报率高出2个百分点左右。在矫 正了样本选择偏差之后,拓展的Mincer工资方程对工资收入者的教育回报率估计结果 在5.3%-6.8%之间。从培训角度看,简单培训、短期培训和正规培训对农民工再流动 都有显著作用,但简单培训对农民工的工资收入作用不显著,而短期培训和正规培训 则对其工资收入有着重要的决定作用。此外,工资拖欠等权益保护问题也对农村劳动 力再流动有重要影响。在处理农民工的个人异质性和教育内生性问题时,本文还发现 父母受教育年限不是一个理想工具变量。

In the urban labor market, the rural labor force can choose whether to become self‐employed or work for wages depending on their stock of human capital and local labor market conditions. A simple Mincer earnings regression shows that the rate of return to schooling for wage earners is two percentage points higher than that for the self‐employed. After correcting for bias in sample selection, the expanded Mincer earnings equation estimated the rate of return to schooling for wage earners at between 5.3 and 6.8 percent. From the standpoint of training, we found that the simplest form of training, short‐term training and formal training played an important role in promoting migrant workers' repeat mobility. However, the simplest form of training did not have a significant effect on earnings, whereas short‐term and formal training played an important determining role in this respect. Moreover, rights protection issues such as wage arrears also had an important effect on migrant workers' repeat mobility. In handling heterogeneity and endogenous educational variables among migrant workers, the authors found that the years of schooling of the parents of migrant workers were not an ideal instrumental variable.     

库区移民的语言态度和语言选择研究——以江西万安库区客家移民为例

万安县库区的客家移民在安置点被说赣方言的当地居民分隔成若干个方言孤岛。研究发现,移民掌握赣方言的语言技能与家庭收入呈正相关态势,移民对客家话的情感认同值高于赣方言,对客家话的地位评价与功能评价却低于赣方言,性别、年龄、文化程度、地域和经济状况等变量因子会影响移民的语言态度。语言障碍与搬迁返贫使移民出现言语焦虑,他们渴望掌握赣方言,在家庭域、社交域和经济域有不同的语言选择和语言使用,少数家庭出现语言转用现象。     

我国当前通货膨胀的深层次原因探究——从生产结构的角度分析

投入产出价格影响模型的分析结果表明,农业对我国当前通货膨胀影响最大,第二产业中高能耗、高资源依赖型行业对通货膨胀的潜在影响较大,但不同行业的影响呈现差异化特点,部分生产性服务业对通货膨胀也具有潜在影响。随着经济增长方式转变和生产结构优化,能源和资源品价格上涨短期内对通货膨胀会形成较大压力,但长期影响将逐步减弱,而生产性服务业产品价格的上升将成为未来影响我国通货膨胀的主要因素。     

话语连贯性的顺应视角分析

Jef.Verschueren在其语用综观论的基础上提出的顺应理论,认为使用语言的过程就是基于语言内部和外部结构,在不同意识程度下不断作出语言选择的过程。根据维索尔伦的语言顺应论研究话语的连贯性,有利于语篇学和语用学互动式发展;更重要的是,可以给语言使用者一些有益启发。     

输入假设理论对大学英语网络化教学的优化作用

Krashen的输入假设理论认为大量的可理解性输入是语言习得发生的关键,Wynne Wong的输入强化技术则旨在增加学习者对目的语语言形式的注意,二者的结合可以突出大学英语网络化教学涵盖广、大剂量的教学的优势,对基于校园网的大学英语网络化教学,如授课、作业、自学、考试、教学评估等各个环节具有优化作用。     

建设具有地方示范作用的研究型大学的战略选择

从我国高等教育面临的新形势来看,高等教育发展的重点已经进入发展理念的战略性转变和全面提高教育质量的新阶段.大学发展的质量应当是遵循高等教育发展规律的质量,是结构、规模、水平、效益协调发展的质量.建设具有地方示范作用的研究型大学应围绕提高质量这条主线,根据学校发展整体部署,在学科建设、人才培养、科学研究、师资队伍、学校治理等方面做出明确的战略选择,使各个方面相互支撑,形成促进办学质量全面提升的新格局,凸显在区域高等教育中的示范性和引领性.     

医疗卫生服务产出核算研究

文章通过对医疗卫生服务生产范围的界定和对现有核算方法缺陷的讨论,从产出和完整产品的角度对现有医疗卫生服务产出的核算方法进行了改进,并提出了完整的治疗产出的核算方法。     

概念整合与翻译认知过程

语言是认知发展的产物。作为认知语言学的重要组成部分,概念整合理论为研究语言运用背后的认知活动搭建了一个统一的理论框架。翻译是一种特殊的语言使用活动,即语际交际活动,必然也与人的认知分不开。本文试图用认知语言学中Fauconnier(福柯尼耶)的概念整合理论(ConceptualBlendingTheory)来分析翻译中译者的思维认知活动,即译者转换意义时的心理运作过程。
