学生桌椅设计中的要素

随着生活水平的不断提高,人们对产品的需求从对物理功能的需求上升到对生理功能、心理功能的需求.如何满足不同身高、体形的学生对课桌椅的要求,如何提高课桌椅的舒适性、实用性、美观性,是学生桌椅设计中需关注的问题.     

日军“慰安所”历史罪责及其现实的研究课题

二战时期,日本军队在对外侵略战争中强征殖民地和占领地的数十万女性为其“慰安所”的性奴隶,犯下了反人类的滔天大罪,这是日本不可推卸的国家犯罪.而今日本的政界和右翼势力妄言不断,全面否认和掩盖其侵略历史罪行,不知悔改,还无耻狡辩美化侵略,进而妄图复活日本特有的法西斯军国主义历史亡灵.为了东亚及世界的和谐安宁与共同繁荣发展,必须彻底清算日本军国主义的侵略历史罪行,深入批判现时日本政界和右翼极端错误的历史观和危险行径,这无疑是东亚各国历史学界的一个共同而迫切的时代课题.     

论灾害伦理研究中的若干基本问题

灾害是人类无从避免而又必须面对的突发现象。它使人类诸多道德矛盾在瞬间交织爆发,也因而成为进行伦理学研究的最佳场域。灾害伦理研究中的基本问题有：灾害成因的伦理解释;灾害降临的伦理应对;灾害救助的伦理维度;灾害抚慰的伦理实施等。     

Arenas of comfort and conflict: peer relationship events and young people's educational attainment

Previous research suggests that developments in young people's peer relationships may either compound or alleviate the adverse impacts of other major life changes during adolescence. We explored this proposition with respect to young people's educational attainment upon leaving high school, using longitudinal data from a large cohort of Australian secondary school students (n?=?1612) who have taken part in the Our Lives research study between the ages of 12/13 and 19/20 years. Our analysis focused on the role of peer relationship events such bullying, friendship problems, falling in love, and breaking up with someone. Bullying and romantic involvement were associated with lower odds of receiving a competitive tertiary entrance rank at the end of high school. However, close, resilient friendships – in which status and identity conflicts may be more easily tolerated and resolved – may help to offset the role of these other events. As well as reviewing the consequences of our findings for young people's educational and occupational trajectories in the longer-term, we highlight their implications for future research and policy in this area.     

Indoor Climate and Thermal Comfort from a Long-Term Perspective

ABSTRACT

This article discusses how a Swedish wooden burgher house, the mid-1660s Burmeister House, was adapted over the course of 250 years to satisfy ever-changing expectations of thermal comfort. The investigation is based on the climatic conditions of the Nordic Region, where the issue of thermal comfort is crucial when attempting to understand the development of indoor environments. The article explores how spatiality, heating, and interior decor and furnishing operated and affected the inhabitants' experiences of indoor climate and thermal comfort. The results show that Burmeister House followed a general pattern of improvement, especially with regard to innovations in heating. Burmeister House ceased to be a private residence when it was restored and turned into a historic house museum. Rather than revealing its history, restorations carried out in the twentieth century worked to conceal or remove most of the building's more recent history. As a consequence, the house has become more difficult to use since it can no longer be efficiently heated.     

列车编组对桥梁振动和乘坐舒适性的影响

利用三角级数法模拟了轨道的不平顺，采用列车编组和桥梁组合的模型，建立了车桥耦合振动方程。对不同列车编组作用下桥梁的竖向振动和车体加速度进行了研究，结果发现列车编组对桥梁的振动和乘坐舒适性影响很大。通过改善列车编组的方法可以提高车桥耦合振动中车辆的动态性能。     

阿Q与庄子

文章撇开“阿Q精神”中的奴隶性、柔弱性、退缩性 ,剔出其内涵中的“精神抚慰性”的一面 ,与《庄子》思想中的“精神抚慰”相对照 ,提出二者的共通性 ,从而进一步指出 ,“精神抚慰”是人们在不利之时在精神上保存自己极其重要的手段 ,外在表现为翼伏、妥协、退让 ,从而为积极抗争保存了机会和力量 ,与进取亢进互为补充而成为中国传统思维的两方面 ,是有积极意义的。通过比对 ,指出“阿Q”是庄子的通俗版 ,庄子是阿Q的理论版     

Comfort Women: Enhancing Students’ Global Awareness through Human Right Education

Abstract

Teaching about the comfort women of World War II offers a compelling case study for the social studies classroom and human rights education. The topic will educate students to become knowledgeable about the larger world and its dark histories that have been omitted or scarcely mentioned in U.S. history textbooks. This article provides high school social studies teachers with the historical background of comfort women, rationales for including this topic in social studies curriculum, and teaching strategies and resources that teachers can use in their classrooms.     

The Attitudes of Social Work Students Toward End-of-Life Care Planning

This study examined the attitudes of social work students toward end-of-life care planning, as well as their degree of willingness to engage in this area of social work practice. Factors associated with their attitudes were measured through structured surveys completed by 102 social work students (N = 102) at a school of social work in the southeast. Results indicated that these social work students tended to have positive attitudes toward end-of-life care planning in general. Moreover, these attitudes were positively associated with preference for pain relief treatment, higher levels of comfort when discussing death, more emphasis on self-determination, and apprehension of conflicts of self-determination. The results of this study underscored the increased societal need for recognition of personal preferences in end-of-life care, higher levels of comfort when discussing death, and an increased commitment of social workers' to maintaining the ethical principle of the client's right to self-determination in end-of-life planning. While this is not surprising, it points to a continuing need to re-assess where the field stands in its preparation of social work professionals who will work closely with people who are dying and their families.     

Challenging the comfort zone: self-discovery,everyday practices and international student mobility to the Global South

This paper scrutinises the underlying motivations of short-term international students by unpacking the notion of ‘leaving the comfort zone’ for self-discovery and self-change. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with Canadian exchange students volunteering and studying in the Global South, the paper contributes to scholarship on everyday and emotional geographies of international student mobility and wider debates in mobility by examining how emotions of comfort and discomfort as well as everyday practices are productive for self-discovery, belonging, home-making and distinction. It reveals how students align the boundaries of their comfort zone and an un/reflexive self along the international and imaginative borders of the Global North/South. Contrary to tourism and mobility studies, I argue that students view everyday life and their relative immobility while abroad as both a distinctive and reflexive exercise. I suggest that students want to extend the boundaries of their comfort zone and their sense of ‘home’ to the Global South.
