文科学报编辑的工作特质及编辑学者化

高校文科学报工作是高校教学科研工作的有机组成部分,高校文科学报是对高校学术成果的一种展示,是促进高校学术研究的一个园地;同时还承担着对作者、读者进行学术引导、指导的作用。高校学报作为学术期刊,其编辑的工作特质有哪些?编辑要不要走学者化的道路?本文针对有关问题做了初步研究,有待与同行探讨。     

生态审美意义上的人格重建

从生态美学的角度对蒙古族作家满都麦的作品作全新解读,而解读本身即是生态美学意义上的人格重建过程,同时也是价值体系和道德体系重建的过程。从某种意义上讲,这意味着人类文化的转型,具有全人类的意义。     

The validity of indices for rural health manpower needs assessment

Population-to-practitioner ratios have long been the primary index in the designation of health manpower shortage areas. This paper documents that application of the widely used population-to-dentist index results in understatement of the need for dental health manpower in rural areas. Through the analysis of utilization data collected from a statewide health screening program in Colorado, the practice of sole reliance on the population-to-dentist indices as an indicator of need was tested. Another measure, the area-(square miles) to-dentist ratio was formulated, examined, and found to be a more useful referent of the need for additional health manpower in rural areas. Utilization of dental services in sparsely settled rural counties of Colorado was unrelated to population-to-dentist ratios. A strong, statistically significant association of utilization with land area-to-dentist ratios was found. The findings of this analysis suggest a need for reevaluation of needs assessment methodologies used in the designation of health manpower shortage areas. Indices more sensitive to consumer circumstance than to the number of health care providers available must be considered.     

科学院大学的教学优势与发展趋势——以中国科学院大学为例

科学院办大学是基于探索研究型大学与科学院双边合作模式，尝试从科学院系统中走出一条研究型大学的独特发展之路，旨在推进科教融合。作对我国高等教育体制改革的一项探索，中国科学院大学在科研、师资、教学和就业等方面具有明显优势。但在发展过程中，科学院大学与现存高等教育体制的关系还需要理顺，招生规模还需要严格控制，以确保人才培养质量。探究科学院大学的教学优势，旨在发挥其资源优势，深化科教一体化人才培养模式，促进科研与教学的充分融合，实现科学院与大学共同发展的目标，使大学最终与科研机构不再分离——科学院成为大学的科学院，大学成为科学院的大学。     

试析中国古代的"天地人"观念

天、地、人是古代中华民族对宇宙整体的总的看法,是研讨一切具体事物所共通使用的理论原点。古人从天文现象、气候更迭、天气变化等“天”象中观察到“时”的变化,从地形地貌、植被物产、位置环境等“地”貌中发现对自然资源的利用,从人禽的二重化、圣凡二重化、性情二重化中明确了“人”的行为准则、道德操守、价值判断。就认识对象而言,“天地人”是整体的、系统的;就认识过程而言,是从天→地→人的以大观小、从整体到局部的认识模式;在“天地人”整体内比较而言,人居于主导地位。     

Size and duration of empires growth-decline curves, 3000 to 600 b.c.

Area changes of about 30 best known empires and states are compiled and tabulated. Superimposed and juxtaposed graphs (size versus time) help to visualize the relative size and location in time of these empires. Size-time integral, maximum stable size, adulthood date, and duration are defined operationally and are listed for 20 empires. A criterion is given for distinctness of successive empires. The size-time integral is a direct measure of an empire's impact on history insofar as that impact depends on sheer size and duration. The integral is largest for the Chinese Hsia-Shang, Egyptian New, Old, and Middle, Assyrian New, and Hittite empires. A world-wide territorial concentration index is tabulated. It increases during the period considered from 0.08 to 1.4% of the world dry land area.     

Compter : l’invention de la statistique des fonctionnaires en France (1890-1930)

Civil servant statistics in France were invented on the margins of the state during the period from 1890 to 1930. This invention came out of activist and/or professional rationales that were desynchronized with the drafting or application of polices for reducing the number of government employees. There were three successive phases. At the dawn of the xx^th century, civil servants were counted in order to inveigh against “functionarism” and “depopulation”. During the decade before World War I, counting them was a matter of improving the expertise of statisticians. Between the two World Wars, sharp cuts were made in personnel, while civil service statistics were held in abeyance. By focusing on how civil servant statistics have been produced and used, the approach proposed herein sheds new light on a persistent but paradoxical discourse in France that ignores how many civil servants there are while claiming that there are too many.     

Chance in Guttman scaling

In their recent paper (1977, Social Science Research, 6, 188–196), Kenny and Rubin offer an interpretation of “chance” in Guttman scaling. Their approach is based on the matrix of probabilities p_ij, giving the chance that the ith respondent passes the jth item. It is shown that their interpretation of chance in fact corresponds to a stochastic model of a perfect unidimensional scale. An alternative condition for chance based on the matrix of p_ij's is proposed. This is then proved to be equivalent to the usual interpretation.
