Framing Effects of News Coverage of the Embryonic Stem Cell Controversy: Issue Involvement as an Effects Moderator

This study examines reactions to ethical and strategic framing in the news coverage of the embryonic stem cell research controversy, depending on the level of issue involvement. In order to test hypotheses regarding the effects of strategic vs. ethical frames and the moderating role played by issue involvement, an online experiment was conducted. Results indicated that these two frames interacted with issue involvement and generated different reactions among participants.     

Automatically Batch Loading Metadata from MARC into a Work-Based Metadata Model for Music

This article describes work done at Indiana University to “batch load” data from MARC bibliographic and authority records into the Work-based and FRBR-like Variations system. A series of experiments to iteratively refine our batch loading algorithm is described, along with details of how the algorithm identifies Works, creates relationships between entities, and maps a large amount of data from MARC into Variations records. The article closes with a discussion of the potential impact of this work on Variations project workflow and community FRBRization activities.     

殖民地报业在美国“公民社会”形成中的作用

美国殖民地报业兴起的过程也是美国"公民社会"形成的过程。报业是形成一个公共领域的纽带,属于"公民社会"的范畴,推动了"公民社会"团体的成长。同时,报业的发展孕育了美国"公民社会"思想,形成了北美大陆想象的"公民共同体",并在实践中推动这种"想象的共同体"向现实的"公民社会"过渡,并最终形成了美国"国家——公民社会"的社会结构。本文从殖民地报业的视角,用"公民社会"理论的两分法来分析美国"公民社会"兴起的历史因素。

语言教学流派背后的语言学理论:回顾与思考

对语言教学流派的理论基础进行剖析,发现语言教学流派有的有明确的语言理论基础,有的没有明确的语言理论基础,但都受到主流语言学理论的影响。而且有从受到单一语言学理论到多种语言学理论甚至其他学科理论共同影响的趋势。     

批判与反思:法兰克福学派批判理论的历史逻辑及启示

法兰克福学派是西方马克思主义思潮中影响最大、最深远的派别之一,并以社会批判理论为主要特色。理论家们用深刻、犀利的笔触对资本主义社会的诸种弊端进行揭露、反思和批判。他们以启蒙精神为靶子,将工业文明,甚至整个人类文明史的批判融合到了法兰克福学派的历史发展中,形成了社会批判理论独特的逻辑路径,显示了反思性的实践品格。社会进步和生活质量的提高,要求人们具有强烈的批判精神和反思意识,法兰克福学派的批判虽是带有乌托邦色彩的悲观主义文化因素,但对我们审视当前的社会现实具有重要的启示和意义。     

Extraction of scientific semantic networks from science textbooks and comparison with science teachers’ spoken language by text network analysis

ABSTRACT

Just as language reflects one’s thoughts, the text of science textbooks reflects the structure of scientific knowledge and thought. Therefore, students’ learning of scientific language leads to their acquisition of the structure of scientific knowledge and thought. The purposes of this study were to extract scientific semantic network from science textbooks as the ideal model of using scientific language, and to examine how well science teachers are implementing scientific semantic networks in science classes by comparing and analysing their spoken language. Through a recursive method, science textbooks were searched for keywords and their relationships, and consequently a scientific semantic network was presented. As a result of the comparison with science teachers’ spoken language, it was found that the teachers were not able to implement the scientific semantic network exactly and efficiently in class, and the focus of the contents of their instruction was also different from the textbook. Science textbook was focused on qualitative aspects of the concept such as meaning, element, characteristic etc, on the other hand science teachers’ language was focused on quantitative aspect of the concept such as calculation, graph etc.     

高校试用数据库现状与建议——以宁夏大学试用数据库为例

试用数据库几乎存在于各个高校的图书馆,所以对试用数据库相关问题的研究很有必要。有关高校试用数据库方面的研究比较少,本文以宁夏大学历年来的试用数据库为例,通过网络调查和实践分析的方法发现数据库试用当中的问题并提出相关的建议。     

高职学生评教有效性影响因素及对策研究——基于混沌理论的视角

学生评教是高职院校评价教师的有效方法之一,但由于一些引起学生评教偏差的背景特征因素的存在影响了评教的有效性。混沌理论是系统从有序突然变为无序状态的一种演化理论,是对确定性系统中出现的内在“随机过程”形成的途径、机制的研讨。运用混沌理论中的初值敏感性、分形以及吸引子等三个原理分析了影响高校学生评教有效性的因素,并在此基础上提出了提高高职学生评教有效性的相应策略和措施。
