Species diversity of Lachnum （Helotiales, Hyaloscyphaceae） from temperate China

INTRODUCTION A large number of Lachnum species have been reported from diverse regions of the world (Dennis, 1949; 1961; Galán and Raitviir, 1994; Haines, 1980; 1992; Haines and Dumont, 1984; Haines and Kaneko, 1984; Sharma, 1986; Singh, 1975; Spooner, 1987; Tai, 1979; Teng, 1934; 1963; Wu et al., 1998; Wu and Haines, 1999; Zhuang and Hyde, 2001). The earliest records of Lachnum in China dated back to 1934 when the Chinese mycologist Teng (1934) reported two species from Zhejian…     

当代大学生价值观及其影响因素的实证研究

为了调查分析当代大学生的价值观现状,分析其影响因素,采用施瓦茨11个维度的人生价值观问卷对3702名在校大学生进行问卷调查.调查结果表明：与女生相比,男生更看重权力价值观;与男生相比,女生更看重成就、享乐、自我定向、普遍性、仁善、传统、遵从、安全、精神性价值观;高中文科的大学生与理科生相比更看重成就、享乐、自我定向、普遍性、传统、遵从、安全等价值观;施瓦茨11种价值观念有多项呈现中度到高度相关;家庭经济条件、生源地、父母的文化水平对多个价值观念有预测作用.因此,当代大学生价值观选择呈现复杂多元性,对各种价值观选择的概率呈现出均匀分布态势;价值观的形成受到生理、心理、家庭、学校、社会等多种因素的共同影响.

青海枸杞子中矿质元素的测定

采用HNO3/H2O2湿法微波消解制样,利用全谱直读电感耦合等离子原子发射光谱法(ICP-OES),全面详细地分析测定了青海红果枸杞子中的矿质元素,共检出K、Na、S、P、Mg、Ca、Si、Al、Fe、Zn、B、Cu、Mn、Se、Pb、Sr、Ti、Ba、Cr等19种矿质元素。分析结果相对标准偏差RSD值在2.41%~10.1%之间,其中10种元素在5%以内。枸杞子中所含人体常量元素K、Na、S、P、Mg、Ca等的质量分数分别为0.96%、0.25%、0.22%、0.19%、0.080%和0.077%;微量元素Fe、Zn、B、Cu、Mn、Se、Sr、Cr等的含量分别为5.97、1.34、1.09、0.88、0.57、0.52、0.33、0.055 mg/100g。此外,还含有9.35 mg/100g的Al和0.45 mg/100g的Pb。     

当代敦煌题材小说评述——“20世纪敦煌题材文艺创作与传播”系列论文

当代敦煌题材小说涉及敦煌历史、敦煌遗书和艺术宝藏、敦煌民间传说等敦煌文化元素,大都融合情色、探险、悬疑、武侠、玄幻等通俗小说手法。在历史传奇小说中,习见的情节模式是爱情与战争的冲突,凸显梦幻传奇的敦煌形象。在现实题材小说中,敦煌呈现神圣化(寻梦之地、精神家园)与世俗化(生存环境和致富商机)两种截然不同的形象。敦煌题材小说人物涉及归义军节度使、外族公主、王道士、外国探险者、驼队、落第书生、诗人、画工、舞娘、当代艺术家和普通劳动者等。宏大叙事、个人化叙事和通俗叙事分别表现不同的主题。敦煌题材小说的文化内涵与人物本身的文化蕴含、敦煌学知识的应用、叙事方式、美学风格有关。近年来敦煌题材小说创作出现两大趋势:一是学理化、专业化;一是通俗化。敦煌题材小说创作存在模仿、跟风、重复性写作等不良倾向,暴露出创作主体的浮躁和独创性的缺乏。     

英语句子分类的再思考

英语中句子可以按照四种不同的方法进行分类.按照句中语言交际功能进行分类时,可分为陈述句、疑问句、祈使句和感叹句.按照句子的内部结构进行分类时,可分为简单句、并列句、复合句和并列复合句.按照句子在语篇中的修辞作用来进行分类时,可分为松散句、圆周句和平衡句.从语用学角度进行分类时,可分为承担性语句、指令性语句、表述性语句、宣传性语句和断定性语句.     

How to address the volitional dimension of the engineer's social responsibility

In this paper I argue that volitional aspects, i.e. ethos, attitude, pathos, will, underlying emotion, in engineering action need to be addressed when teaching social responsibility within the engineering curriculum. After presenting reasons for this claim, I look at two different, but not mutually exclusive, approaches to address volitional aspects. First, the recent revival of virtue ethics can be applied in engineering ethics. A moderate version of virtue ethics can explicitly elaborate on the engineering virtues. The second way makes use of various processes, e.g. research, design, learning, negotiation, decision-making, and reconciliation as processes, as a forum for teaching. This approach can be used to indirectly reveal the functionality and dysfunctionality of different attitudes to the students. Practical didactic suggestions are presented.     

张謇研究的历史和现状

学术界对张謇的研究兴趣长久不衰,并从历史学界扩展为政治、经济、文化教育领域,研究层面涉及文、史、哲,以及社会学、人类学、教育学、城市规划,水利农垦、交通运输,乃至戏剧、美术、医学、慈善等诸多方面。取得了累累硕果。近百年来张謇研究约分三个阶段：张謇在世时至逝世后研究张謇的工作即已展开,抗日战争爆发至1949年期间,陷入停滞不前的状态;二十世纪50—60年代张謇研究才进入了一个新阶段,但1966年以后张零研究被迫中断十年之久;改革开放三十年来,张謇研究也得以迅速恢复和发展,进入一个有组织,有系统,多学科,多层面空前繁荣和发展的阶段。

“American Chimera: The Ever-Present Domination of Whiteness,Patriarchy, and Capitalism…A Parable”

In Greek mythology, the Chimera is a fire-breathing monster with three heads: one of a lion, one of a horned goat, and one of a powerful dragon. Of similar construction is the presence of three structures in US society, whiteness, patriarchy, and capitalism, which are overwhelmingly represented, valued, and espoused when examining areas of progress, i.e., family income, poverty rates, high school and college graduation rates, and home ownership. This modern American three-headed beast controls, manipulates, and permeates all aspects of US society irrespective of class, culture, or gender. Using critical race theory and critical whiteness studies, this critically interpretive parable draws from the ways in which whiteness, patriarchy, and capitalism function in social, cultural, economic, and educational spheres. The parable tells the story of Sue Libertad and analyzes how this metaphorical Chimera, despite its ubiquity, silently permeates all aspects of her life. Not until a tragic outbreak occurs, does the hegemony of this chimera erodes and Sue.
