Can typical game features have unintended consequences? A study of players’ learning and reactions to challenge and failure in an educational programming game

It is difficult to motivate learners to seek out and persist at challenging learning tasks where failure is likely. However, in game environments, people seem highly motivated to engage with challenges and respond productively to failure. Many typical game features purportedly enhance intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy, which should improve students’ reactions to challenge and failure, which should in turn enhance learning. An experimental study with early middle school students tested these assumptions by comparing a “Full” version of a typical, commercial programming game to a “Minimal” version of the same game where common game features such as narrative, performance metrics, high-quality graphics, and sound were removed. In contrast to our hypotheses, players of the Full Game were less likely to choose coding challenges, were less tolerant of coding failures and gained less coding knowledge. Intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy did not differ between conditions. Correlational analyses showed that failure tolerance and challenge seeking may critically affect learning from educational games. The current study offers an existence proof that some common game features can hinder players' failure tolerance, challenge-seeking and learning, in certain game contexts. Future research should isolate the effects of individual game features, test generalizability and explore which contextual variables influence the findings.

基于物元模型和区间模糊数贴近度的企业与软件匹配性研究

如果企业和软件系统能很好的匹配,可以更好的实现两个物元之间的目的和功能.文章从平衡计分卡的角度选择全方位的匹配指标体系,但各个指标值不是一个确定的数值,而是一个区间模糊数,并且从区间模糊数的特性出发构建企业和软件系统各个匹配指标的贴近度,再应用熵值客观赋权法给各指标赋权,最后综合计算企业与软件的总贴近度即匹配度,文中给出了匹配过程具体的计算步骤和实例,希望能给决策者以科学的参考依据.

共享经济可持续性评价：社会感知与客观绩效

共享经济行业可持续性评价的社会感知和客观绩效不一致将造成认知错位、投资误判和政策失效等结果。本文在线挖掘2017—2019年我国主要社交媒体上29 771条文本信息,并收集行业统计数据,综合测度共享经济行业的可持续性并比较其差异。研究发现：社会公众并不认为共享经济行业具有显著的总体可持续性,而且行业实际绩效展现的可持续性与社会大众认知截然不同。进一步发现：受限于主观认知能力,社会公众认为共享经济可持续性主要来自可观察到的行业外部经济和外部生态等维度,但客观绩效表明共享经济行业内部的经济和外部的技术优势才是其可持续性的重要支撑。此外,二者评价的差异在住宿与医疗等产能共享内部过程不易被大众观察的行业中最为突出。     

Surface superconductivity in the type II Weyl semimetal TaIrTe4

The search for unconventional superconductivity in Weyl semimetal materials is currently an exciting pursuit, since such superconducting phases could potentially be topologically non-trivial and host exotic Majorana modes. The layered material TaIrTe₄ is a newly predicted time-reversal invariant type II Weyl semimetal with the minimum number of Weyl points. Here, we report the discovery of surface superconductivity in Weyl semimetal TaIrTe₄. Our scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) visualizes Fermi arc surface states of TaIrTe₄ that are consistent with the previous angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy results. By a systematic study based on STS at ultralow temperature, we observe uniform superconducting gaps on the sample surface. The superconductivity is further confirmed by electrical transport measurements at ultralow temperature, with an onset transition temperature (T_c) up to 1.54 K being observed. The normalized upper critical field h*(T/T_c) behavior and the stability of the superconductivity against the ferromagnet indicate that the discovered superconductivity is unconventional with the p-wave pairing. The systematic STS, and thickness- and angular-dependent transport measurements reveal that the detected superconductivity is quasi-1D and occurs in the surface states. The discovery of the surface superconductivity in TaIrTe₄ provides a new novel platform to explore topological superconductivity and Majorana modes.     

露天矿高边坡爆破振动监测与衰减规律分析

露天矿山爆破开采过程中会产生一系列的危害,严重威胁地表建筑物及人员的安全.通过现场实时监测采集了露天矿山远距离建筑物的质点振动速度及主振频率,并且根据萨道夫斯基公式对监测结果进行线性回归,推导出爆破振动波的衰减规律.试验结果表明:爆破振动质点振速与爆心距有关,随着爆心距的增大,质点振动速度逐渐减小;质点振动的三向振速中,水平径向振速最大;监测点的峰值振速均在安全允许范围之内,一般情况下对周围建筑物没有影响;爆破地震波衰减系数K=248.05,α=1.52,即爆破振动质点振速衰减规律公式为:V=248.05(3√Q/R)1.52.爆破振动监测结果和衰减规律对类似地形和地质的露天矿爆破开采具有一定的参考价值.     

上市公司股权融资与投资行为研究——基于非有效市场视角

基于行为公司财务研究视角,首先对我国资本市场的非有效性及其通过股权融资渠道影响企业投资行为的传导机制进行了理论阐释。在此基础上,本文对不同股权融资结果和融资规模下的公司投资行为进行了实证研究。研究结果表明：（1）我国资本市场融资条件通过股权融资渠道对公司投资行为产生了不同程度的影响。（2）对于未取得股权融资的公司,股票市价与企业投资水平不相关。（3）对于取得了股权融资的公司,股票市价与企业投资水平显著正相关。（4）股权融资的规模越小,企业投资水平对股票市价的敏感性越高。（5）股权融资的规模越大,内部人控制下的公司投资行为倾向于更大规模的扩张。
