杜甫《登高》诗中的乐观主义精神探微

杜甫写于唐大历二年(767年)秋天的《登高》诗,虽是其晚年凄凉与孤独生活状态的真实写照,但诗中却充满着令人激动的气势.这种气势不仅源于杜甫对登高文学传统的继承,亦是其晚年面对迁逝之感时昂扬生命意识的展现.除了感时伤事,诗中还深刻蕴含着杜甫晚年的壮阔情怀以及乐观主义精神,这种精神与夔州相对安定的生活有着密切关联,更是其儒家思想的重要体现.     

Abusive Supervision and Well-Being of Filipino Migrant Workers in Macau: Consequences for Self-Esteem and Heritage Culture Detachment

Abusive supervision in the workplace has been shown to have important direct consequence in work and work relationship, and also indirect consequences to workers’ well-being and relationships outside work. Consequences of abusive supervision have not been studied among migrant workers whose status in the host country of work is dependent on maintaining the work contract. This study investigates abusive supervision in 247 Filipino migrant workers in Macau, who hold temporary work contracts and work visas to engage in various low-skilled work (e.g., domestic helper, security guard, etc.). The study tests a model representing the indirect consequences of abusive supervision on the self-esteem and acculturation orientation of migrant workers, in particular, on the tendency to reject their heritage culture in their attempt to acculturate in the host country. Mediation analysis indicated that abusive supervisory perceptions led to lower self-esteem (b = ?.19), which in turn relates to tendency to reject their heritage culture as part of acculturation (b = ?.45) [indirect effect = .08, 90 % CI .04, .15]. The rejection of heritage culture is interpreted as a coping response to the negative indirect consequences of abusive supervision perceptions that may be partly attributed to being a migrant Filipino worker. The results are discussed in terms of how the acculturation of migrant workers reflects aspects of their well-being that may be adversely affected by vocational-related stress in the host country.     

The mixed evacuation problem

A dynamic network introduced by Ford and Fulkerson is a directed graph with capacities and transit times on its arcs. The quickest transshipment problem is one of the most fundamental problems in dynamic networks. In this problem, we are given sources and sinks. Then the goal of this problem is to find a minimum time limit such that we can send the right amount of flow from sources to sinks. In this paper, we introduce a variant of this problem called the mixed evacuation problem. This problem models an emergent situation in which people can evacuate on foot or by car. The goal is to organize such a mixed evacuation so that an efficient evacuation can be achieved. In this paper, we study this problem from the theoretical and practical viewpoints. In the first part, we prove the polynomial-time solvability of this problem in the case where the number of sources and sinks is not large, and also prove the polynomial-time solvability and computational hardness of its variants with integer constraints. In the second part, we apply our model to the case study of Minabe town in Wakayama prefecture, Japan.     

The neglected mediating role of self-efficacy in the goal setting process in local public administrations

To analyse the role of self-efficacy in goal setting in public administrations, this study combines goal-setting theory, public service motivation literature and cognitive theory. Using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), survey data from 105 German civil servants are analysed. The results underline the role of goal setting (represented by goal difficulty and specificity) in determining the self-efficacy of public servants. Public service motivation and goal specificity both increase public servants’ work performance; however, the effects of goal difficulty are negatively mediated by the employee’s self-efficacy. That finding reflects the central role of self-efficacy, which should not be ignored in the goal-setting processes of public administrations.     

兰姆及其所著《麦克马洪线》

本文对英国学者兰姆的生平和学术生涯做了一个较为详细的梳理,在此基础上介绍了其著作《麦克马洪线:1904-1914年印度、中国和西藏关系史研究》,认为这是一部研究中印关系,特别是中印边界问题的经典著作。深入的分析、缜密的考证,以及比较客观的叙述,展现出作者严谨的治学态度。与西方大多数学者不同的是,兰姆在书中用事实有力地驳斥了印度政府妄图继承英帝国遗产的观点,提出了许多值得参考的看法。同时,也指出了该书存在的不足之处。     

湘鄂川黔革命根据地的“扩红运动”及其历史与现实意义

湘鄂川黔革命根据地是长江南岸的最后一块红色根据地,是在全国其他各路红军离开原有根据地后,由红二、六军团会师后建立的,为我国革命战争的胜利起到了不可忽视的作用。文章以"扩红运动"为研究维度,从三个方面进行深刻论析。面对国民党的"围剿"、根据地内反动势力的迫害以及薄弱的地方武装力量,"扩红运动"的组织发动显得迫切需要。"扩红运动"的组织发动不仅对打击封建反动势力、维护苏维埃政权、壮大革命队伍、策应红军长征,以及保卫土地革命成果、扩大中国共产党的影响有着重要的历史意义,而且还对当今密切党群关系、处理民族关系、加强军队建设等都有着重要的现实意义。     

行业系统性风险的动态特征及其影响因素

现代经济主体间网络关联性越来越强,风险很容易在不同行业间扩散,因此有效识别并分析系统性风险是防范金融危机的关键步骤。基于条件风险价值(CoVaR)和边际期望损失(MES)两个指标,对巨潮行业指数系统性风险的静态和动态特征进行了研究。结果发现,各行业间系统性风险的相关性较强,动态特征显示2009年年初和2016年3月为系统性风险的两个峰值;从分行业来看,材料行业的系统性风险最高,而消费和医药行业的系统性风险最低。采用动态面板模型分析影响行业系统性风险的市场面因素发现,短期涨幅较高、长期涨幅较低及流动性较充分的行业,其系统性风险往往更低。因此,应加强对系统性风险较高行业的监管力度,建立好金融防火墙,防止外部金融风险的过度传染;同时应加强对各行业的实时监控,尤其是关注短期暴涨暴跌及流动性充分与否的监控。     

非光滑复杂网络的混沌同步

Unterstützung dualer Karrieren im Spitzensport

The longstanding focus of elite athletes on top sports entails disadvantages hampering their later entry to the world of work. In order to successfully contribute their outstanding personality traits to a later job, athletes are thus particularly required to care for their employability. Contributing to this, the author carried out a competency balancing with top athletes. This coaching method significantly decreased the athletes’ need for self-information. Evaluation further showed indications of increased clarity and certainty of occupational goals as well as work satisfaction.     

循环的“真”概念与真理修正理论探析

美国哲学家古普塔提出了"真理修正理论",试图修复克里普克建立在强克林三值逻辑基础上的不动点理论的缺点,进一步说明"真"概念在自然语言中的用法,从而成为解决语义悖论之语境迟钝进路的最重要代表。该理论的关键是承认"真"是一个循环概念,并依据循环定义提出修正规则,用修正规则来阐明"真"概念的实际使用。在分析真理修正理论所受到的批评与辩护的基础上,运用RZH解悖标准辨析可以表明,该理论进一步研究的焦点在于其作为一种解悖方案的"非特设性"哲学说明,特别是"真"作为一个循环概念这一前提的可接受性。
