Expectations and Perceptions of the Role of the Guidance Counselor as Described by Students and Parents

This study compared the students' and parents' views with respect to both the perceived and the ideal role of the secondary school counselor. It was found that parents assigned higher ratings to both perceptions and expectations of counselors than did students, and both parents and students held higher expectations than perceptions of counselors. Apparently irreconcilable conflicts among idealized roles were found, which suggested implications for counselor training programs.     

Q-Sorting Gloria

The authors assessed differences in viewers' perceptions of a client (Gloria) as a function of treatment (i.e., client-centered, gestalt, rational-emotive) received. The stimulus material used was the film series, Three Approaches to Psychotherapy. Gloria was perceived differently as a result of the type of treatment received, although some of the differences were not statistically reliable. Implications of the findings are discussed.     

Personality and Functional Specialty Preference of Prospective Counselor Educators

This study examined the personality needs of doctoral students in counselor education who preferred functional specialties as administrators or practitioners. The sample consisted of doctoral students in counselor education at 20 southern universities. Achievement, dominance, order, and social recognition needs, as measured by the Personality Research Form (PRF), were found to differentiate between the groups.

庄子的平等思想对女性学走出现代困境的意义

现代的女性学把男女关系理解为相互对立和竞争的关系,试图通过竞争达到跟男性完全平等的地位,如在诸多稀少资源的分配中获得平等的机遇和利益。这样,女性的社会地位虽然得到了提高,但女性的生活也出现了许多新问题,说明女性学在现代并未构建出男女关系的理想模式,而是陷入到了一种困境之中。而庄子的平等思想为女性学的发展提供了出路。根据庄子的思想体系,男女本来就是平等和有机统一的,男女之间可以通过交互作用和协调达到理想状态。从统一体世界观的角度看,人与宇宙万物是有机统一的,而且任何一个事物都不能脱离对立面而存在,因而在男女的相互关系中,男性的存在是女性存在的根据,而女性的存在也是男性存在的根据。万物的生生不息根源于阴阳的相互交融,而人类的繁荣则根源于男女的感应和相爱。庄子的平等理论为新的男女平等观提供了思想基础,为更人性化的女性学体系的建立提供了新的视点。     

"新农村学习型学校社区建设工程":目标与评价

＂新农村学习型学校社区建设工程＂是一项由政府、大学与非政府组织、学校与社区、城市与农村共同参与的大型伙伴协作项目。该项目的实施采用了一种演化渐进的取向,参与各方对目标的诠释各有侧重。从变革实施的＂忠实观＂和＂调适观＂两种观点来看,该项目取得了一定的成效。今后同类项目的实施可考虑在学校领导、社会参与及评价方法等方面做出改进。     

成年男性特质型焦虑与内侧眶额的自发活动有关（英文）

目的:研究内侧眶额与焦虑加工的关系。创新点:采用Louvain网络模块检测方法对大脑内侧眶额进行自动化功能亚区分割,并发现内侧眶额与健康成年男性特质型焦虑的关系。方法:采用静息态低频振幅比率(fALFF)、静息态功能连通性(RSFC)和脑区功能亚区自动化分割方法。结论:成年男性特质型焦虑分数与内侧眶额的fALFF指标间存在显著相关性,并与右脑内侧眶额和楔前叶之间的功能连通性有关。因此,可以认为内侧眶额涉及特质型焦虑加工。     

Science Letters: Efficient page layout analysis on small devices

Previously we have designed and implemented new image browsing facilities to support effective offline image contents on mobile devices with limited capabilities: low bandwidth, small display, and slow processing. In this letter, we fulfill the automatic production of cartoon contents fitting small-screen display, and introduce a clustering method useful for various types of cartoon images as a prerequisite stage for preserving semantic meaning. The usage of neural networks is to properly cut the various forms of pages. Texture information that is useful for grayscale image segmentation gives us a good clue for page layout analysis using the multilayer perceptron (MLP) based x-y recursive algorithm. We also automatically frame the segment MLP using agglomerative segmentation. Our experimental results show that the combined approaches yield good results of segmentation for several cartoons.     

Low-complexity multiplexer-based normal basis multiplier over GF(2m)

We present a new normal basis multiplication scheme using a multiplexer-based algorithm. In this algorithm, the proposed multiplier processes in parallel and has a multiplexer-based structure that uses MUX and XOR gates instead of AND and XOR gates. We show that our multiplier for type-1 and type-2 normal bases saves about 8% and 16%, respectively, in space complexity as compared to existing normal basis multipliers. Finally, the proposed architecture has regular and modular configurations and is well suited to VLSI implementations.
