院校研究与学习分析

院校研究与学习分析在学习研究方面同异并存,皆利用大数据探寻学生学习的优劣.院校研究主要依赖大学的管理和调查数据,学习分析主要使用学习管理系统收集的数据.院校研究聚焦于帮助大学“知己知彼”,学习分析旨在助力“知学生”“知学习”“知教育”.院校研究为学校层面决策提供实证研究证据,学习分析识别学生个体学习行为从而支持个性化学...     

Schema adjustment in cross-cultural encounters: A study of expatriate international aid service workers

Based on a schema perspective, this study discusses the adjustment process of expatriate workers through their cross-cultural experiences. Employing a qualitative, semi-structured interviewing method, this study collected data from 22 interviews with Taiwanese expatriate workers for an international aid service and analyzed critical incidents faced by these workers during their international service. Extending the existing schema theory for cross-cultural encounters, the author found that cultural shocks help enhance expatriate workers’ awareness of their existing schemas. In addition, through mental tension, mental dialogue, and information regarding culturally relevant others, cross-cultural workers gradually modify their perspectives and interpretative frameworks to adapt to local situations in a different culture.     

“闽人称祖皆曰自光州固始来”之人地关系分析

据族谱和方志记载,闽台客家祖籍多源自今河南省的“光州固始”。学术界对此虽认知有异,但无大的分歧。据1953年台湾的户籍统计,每5户台湾居民中就有4户先民来自“光州固始”。有人曾形象地说,台湾之根500年前在福建,1000年前在河南,台、闽、豫1000年前是一家。因此,探讨固始与闽台的关系,既是研究豫、闽、台三省社会发展史的重要内容,也是研究中国的文明化进程的重要命题,同时还关乎众多海内外华夏儿女的寻根情、故乡梦。     

国际石油价格波动特点及影响因素的实证分析

实证研究表明，国际油价变动特点可以用AR(1)模型描述。对油价和主要影响因素的长短期关系的检验表明，OPEC产量、OECD国家消费需求等是影响石油价格的长期因素，弹性系数分别是-8.845%、7.19%，短期影响很小；中国石油消费需求短期对油价产生了正向影响，弹性为3.99%。国际油价对长期均衡的偏离大约需要1.63～1.88个季度得到修正。实证结果说明，国际油价的长期走势仍然是由最根本的供求关系等经济因素决定的，短期油价变动主要源于突发性非经济因素。AR(1)模型和由OPEC产量、OECD国家消费需求、OECD库存等构成的因果关系模型相比，后者对于预测国际油价有更好的效果。中国国内油价对国际油价存在滞后效应，但出口价格已与国际油价同步。中国基本石油战略的构建应该建立在对长期经济因素的分析和预测之上，并建立现代石油市场体系，改革石油定价机制。

不同营养条件对杏鲍菇菌丝生长量的影响

以杏鲍菇的菌落直径作为指标,采用平板固体培养法,研究不同碳源和氮源对杏鲍菇菌丝生长的影响情况;结果表明:杏鲍菇菌丝生长的最适碳源是麦芽糖,其次是蔗糖、果糖、葡萄糖、乳糖;最适氮源为酵母粉,其次是牛肉膏、蛋白胨、硝酸铵、硫酸铵,其中,有机氮源明显优于无机氮源.     

To preserve or enhance precious memories: a segmented market analysis of the history museum in Singapore

This study examines the value placed on museums by patrons and non-patrons and investigates the factors that affect this valuation with a view to boost visitorship. The total economic value of Singapore’s History Museum is at least US$57 million, and this is high relative to other countries, a fact which can be used to justify increased government funding towards museums as cultural capital. Females and high income people are the target groups for increased visitation, while among the non-patrons, the ethnic majority is another potential clientele. Somewhat surprising is the finding that neither patrons nor non-patrons see the museum as having significant tourist value, and contrary to prospect theory, there is a preference for enhancing the museum’s services over keeping the museum. These findings provide some direction for the management of the museum to improve its visitor appeal.     

Superior short-term learning effect of visual and sensory organisation ability when sensory information is unreliable in adolescent rhythmic gymnasts

Rhythmic gymnasts specialise in dynamic balance under sensory conditions of numerous somatosensory, visual, and vestibular stimulations. This study investigated whether adolescent rhythmic gymnasts are superior to peers in Sensory Organisation test (SOT) performance, which quantifies the ability to maintain standing balance in six sensory conditions, and explored whether they plateaued faster during familiarisation with the SOT. Three and six sessions of SOTs were administered to 15 female rhythmic gymnasts (15.0 ± 1.8 years) and matched peers (15.1 ± 2.1 years), respectively. The gymnasts were superior to their peers in terms of fitness measures, and their performance was better in the SOT equilibrium score when visual information was unreliable. The SOT learning effects were shown in more challenging sensory conditions between Sessions 1 and 2 and were equivalent in both groups; however, over time, the gymnasts gained marginally significant better visual ability and relied less on visual sense when unreliable. In conclusion, adolescent rhythmic gymnasts have generally the same sensory organisation ability and learning rates as their peers. However, when visual information is unreliable, they have superior sensory organisation ability and learn faster to rely less on visual sense.

Tianxia system on a snail's horns

Abstract

This article aims to report the findings from some recent researches on the historical formation of the concept of tianxia and its original meanings. In the light of these findings, I would like to make some comments on the Chinese philosopher Zhao Tingyang's works on the tianxia system. I demonstrate that the concept of tianxia portrayed by Zhao is at odds with the historical concepts of tianxia in many ways, and that the challenge raised by the latter for Chinese nationalism today is unanswered. I also examine Zhao's proposal of the tianxia system and point out that this proposal as a universalist commitment to a philosophy of the world seems to have failed on both the motivational and theoretical levels. In conclusion, I make an observation about a problem which might have a profound but inimical effect on the creativity of Chinese intellectual minds, namely, the urge to make chinoiserie theories at the expense of theoretical coherence and logical consistency.
