Governing software: networks,databases and algorithmic power in the digital governance of public education

This article examines the emergence of ‘digital governance’ in public education in England. Drawing on and combining concepts from software studies, policy and political studies, it identifies some specific approaches to digital governance facilitated by network-based communications and database-driven information processing software that are being discursively promoted in education by cross-sectoral intermediary organizations. Such intermediaries, including National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts, Demos, the Innovation Unit, the Education Foundation and the Nominet Trust, are increasingly seeking to participate in new digitally mediated forms of educational governance. Through their promotion of network-based pedagogies and database-driven analytics software, these organizations are seeking to delegate educational decision-making to socio-algorithmic forms of power that have the capacity to predict, govern and activate learners' capacities and subjectivities.     

狩猎、体育与相关社会问题研究——基于历史人类学视角的考察

通过历史资料分析、对比研究、逻辑分析等方法对狩猎、体育以及相关社会问题进行研究,研究认为:狩猎与体育的发展是相辅相成的;狩猎的过程和体育竞赛的过程是高度吻合的,体育竞赛可以视为一种抽象的狩猎活动,而升级、变异的狩猎和体育可能导致战争的发生;在当今社会,商务人士、沉迷于网络游戏的群体以及罪犯,都从事着象征性的狩猎活动,并引发了一系列社会问题。现代社会密集型的体育赛事有缓解人类狩猎欲望和社会冲突的功能,但却又为恐怖袭击和暴乱活动的制造者们提供了良好的"狩猎场所",文明社会如何解决人类的狩猎本能问题还需要进一步的探索。

Embedded creative workers and creative work in education

This article is concerned with the many connections between creative work and workers, and education work and industries. Employment in the education sector has long been recognised as a significant element in creative workers’ portfolio careers. Much has been written, for example, about the positive contribution of ‘artists in schools’ initiatives. Australian census analyses reveal that education is the most common industry sector into which creative workers are ‘embedded’, outside of the core creative industries. However, beyond case studies and some survey research into arts instruction and instructors, we know remarkably little about in which education roles and sectors creative workers are embedded, and the types of value that they add in those roles and sectors. This article reviews the extant literature on creative work and workers in education, and presents the findings of a survey of 916 graduates from creative undergraduate degrees in Australia. The findings suggest that education work is very common among creative graduates indeed, while there are a range of motivating factors for education work among creative graduates, on average they are satisfied with their careers, and that creative graduates add significant creative-cultural and creative-generic value add through their work.     

用于环路校准的延迟锁相环设计

延迟锁相环能够产生精确的延时而被广泛使用。本文介绍了一种适用于直接调制发射机锁相电路环路校准的延迟锁相环。电路采用TSMC 0.18μm CMOS工艺实现,参考频率为26 MHz。在3.3 V电源电压下的仿真结果显示:延迟锁相环锁定时间为520ns,锁定相位为2π,同时输出8路相位差为45o间隔的时钟。     

As ‘process’ as it can get: students' understanding of biological processes

Students' understanding of biological phenomena are analysed via the ontological categories of processes and matter. The analysis is based on tenth graders' explanations regarding biological phenomena such as photosynthesis, energy resources, temperature regulation and interrelations between living/nonliving worlds. This direction of analysis is an attempt to flow with the more meaningful trend of biological research and thought, that emphasizes the importance and fruitfulness of the process approach. Some implications regarding biology learning and teaching are suggested.

陕西省乒乓球产业发展道路探析

通过对原陕西省乒乓球队和各种类型的乒乓球俱乐部的调查,探讨了陕西省各地区乒乓球运动产业开展的现状和出现的新情况。结果发现：双轨制下的陕西省乒乓球运动产业发展是由现阶段陕西省的基本情况决定的;陕西省乒乓球运动产业链主体“金字塔”模式基本形成;现阶段陕西省发展乒乓球俱乐部是可行的,但是乒乓球产业化环境并不完善。     

The European university landscape: A micro characterization based on evidence from the Aquameth project

This paper provides a new and systematic characterization of 488 universities, from 11 European countries: Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and UK. Using micro indicators built on the integrated Aquameth database, we characterize the European university landscape according to the following dimensions: history/foundation of university, dynamics of growth, specialization pattern, subject mix, funding composition, offer profile and productivity.
