Journey towards independent living: a grounded theory investigation of leaving the care of Girls & Boys Town,South Africa

The journey out of care and towards independent living is a challenge for many care-leavers. There has been little research into the social processes involved in this care-leaving journey. This paper presents the results of a grounded theory investigation into the care-leaving journeys of nine young men who had, several years previously, been in the care of Girls & Boys Town in South Africa. Working from a resilience perspective, with an ecological emphasis, four central social processes emerged that together explain the care-leaving experiences of the participants. These processes are striving for authentic belonging; networking people for goal attainment; contextualised responsiveness and building hopeful and tenacious self-confidence. These four processes are located within contextual boundaries and at the social environmental interface. The paper presents these processes in detail, drawing on selected narratives of the participants and integrated with additional theory. It is hoped that this paper may contribute to theory building concerning care-leaving processes and enhance youth care practices for youth in care and leaving care.

艺术是按照美的规律创造的——对张涵“艺术审美本质”的思考

张涵从接受美学、社会学、系统论和美的生成说的角度 ,把艺术看成一个系统、一个历史过程 ,从艺术创造、艺术作品、艺术欣赏的有机联系中考察艺术的本质 ,从而得出审美特性为艺术的本质属性的结论。这一结论无论从艺术原理看 ,还是从艺术实践看 ,都显示出较大的合理性     

论传统写真艺术

传统写真属于人物画的范畴 ,要求达到“形神兼备”。通过对写真艺术历史的考察 ,认为 :传统写真在我国绘画中是发展很早的一种艺术体裁 ,传神是写真艺术的优良传统 ,背拟是写真艺术的重要法则 ,线描和笔墨法是写真艺术的主要表现手段 ,传统写真艺术成就是由民间画工和优秀的文人画家共同创造的。     

20世纪艺术理论中的再现说

“再现说”是 20世纪中国艺术理论史中占主导地位的艺术理论,它影响了 20世纪中国艺术实践和艺术理论的整体格局,也影响了人们对艺术起源、艺术本质的看法。20世纪中国社会的动荡,使“再现说”为承载社会责任而偏离了艺术对它的要求。因此,要结合各种观点的语境分析其合理性,并结合“表现说”来分析其得失。     

Kernel Estimation of Rate Function for Recurrent Event Data

Abstract.  Recurrent event data are largely characterized by the rate function but smoothing techniques for estimating the rate function have never been rigorously developed or studied in statistical literature. This paper considers the moment and least squares methods for estimating the rate function from recurrent event data. With an independent censoring assumption on the recurrent event process, we study statistical properties of the proposed estimators and propose bootstrap procedures for the bandwidth selection and for the approximation of confidence intervals in the estimation of the occurrence rate function. It is identified that the moment method without resmoothing via a smaller bandwidth will produce a curve with nicks occurring at the censoring times, whereas there is no such problem with the least squares method. Furthermore, the asymptotic variance of the least squares estimator is shown to be smaller under regularity conditions. However, in the implementation of the bootstrap procedures, the moment method is computationally more efficient than the least squares method because the former approach uses condensed bootstrap data. The performance of the proposed procedures is studied through Monte Carlo simulations and an epidemiological example on intravenous drug users.     

商业银行董事会治理的独立有效性研究

根据经济合作与发展组织、巴塞尔银行监管委员会和中国银行业监督管理委员会等组织关于公司治理的相关原则、指引和法律规定,对商业银行董事会的独立有效性进行了综合分析,得出商业银行董事会的独立有效性主要体现在独立董事的独立性,职能委员会的独立性以及独立董事占董事会成员的比例3个方面以及规范的独立董事、职能委员会的产生机制和明确的独立董事、职能委员会的责权利制度是确保商业银行董事会独立有效性基础的结论,并提出中国商业银行董事会的适度规模为11人,其中独立董事占董事会成员的合适比例为50％以上的建议。     

20世纪30年代初胡秋原的庸俗社会学批判

庸俗社会学的木质，在于无视艺术规律，取消中间环节，把文艺这一精神现象与人类社会的基础性结构直接关联，从而对文艺的性质、功能作出简单性规定和强制性要求。胡秋原是中国文论界从学理的层面．对庸俗社会学作出深入剖析的第一人。其理论资源，来自于普列汉诺夫的“中介论”。他对弗里契《艺术社会学》“图式化”弊端之批评，亦发时人所未见。其地球“自转”与“公转”之喻，表明了他对文学“自律”与“他律”关系的洞见与把握，并给后人以启发。＋
