A comparative study of the child bereavement and loss responses and needs of schools in Hull,Yorkshire and Derry/Londonderry,Northern Ireland

This paper reports the findings from a study of schools' responses to child bereavement in Hull, Yorkshire and Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland. In order to gain an insight and compare how schools in both geographical areas respond to and manage bereavement, the questionnaire ‘Loss in schools’ was selected as an appropriate tool. It has been utilised on previous occasions in Hull and shown to be an effective method of highlighting the issues, needs and concerns of schools. Some significant and important issues emerge in the results of the present survey. While schools rate child bereavement and parental separation highly in terms of their priorities, there is a shortfall in the number of schools in both study sites that have a formal procedure or policy in place around the management and response to death and loss. Although there is evidence that a number of staff have attended training in loss and bereavement, schools in Derry/Londonderry and Hull report that they have sought help from other agencies in times of need. For example, the Western Education and Library Board Bereavement Team and Cruse Bereavement Care (Derry/Londonderry) and the Educational Psychology Service (Hull) are identified. Schools are asking for help and support to develop policies and to gain the knowledge and skills they require to respond with confidence to a child who experiences a loss.     

Acceleration: A coat of many colours

The word “acceleration” continues to generate controversy. Although the literature makes it clear that acceleration in its various guises is a positive intervention for many gifted students, educational practitioners in Australia continue to resist the evidence and campaign actively against allowing students to take this option. This article synthesizes 3 research projects conducted in New South Wales, Australia, exploring different forms of acceleration. The first project involved an investigation of the Early Entry policy for gifted children in one region of the state; the second reports on the experiences of students who skipped at least 1 grade; and the third examines a vertical programming system that allows students to accelerate within subjects at an academically selective high school. Based on these research studies, this article explores the issues that are at the center of the acceleration debate.     

人体形态参数的因子分析

采用实验法对研究对象进行32项人体形态参数因子分析,结果发现有两个公共因子可以反映32项人体形态参数中的绝大部分信息,分别可以解释为体重因子和身高因子,从而从另一个角度验证了以体重和身高作为计算人体惯性参数的回归方程中的自变量,具有相当的代表性,可以反映人体形态的绝大部分信息。但人体骨盆的宽度,手的大小、宽窄,头的大小以及足的长短、宽窄等不完全由体重和身高决定。     

歌剧翻译的美学追求——以歌剧《文成公主》翻译为例

翻译学注定是融合多个学科知识的交叉科学,不可能仅仅是双语间在字、词及句法结构上的简单对应。歌剧作为一种高层次的文学作品形式,对译者翻译水平要求的更高,不仅要求准确,流畅,同时要求体现原作的美学体验。翻译与美学是紧密相关的。翻译美学则致力于探讨原文、译文和翻译过程的美。译者只有将作者的思想感情,语气语调甚至话语节奏都淋漓尽致地再现,才能完美的传达原文的美感。文章以歌剧《文成公主》翻译为例,从音乐美、民族美、台词美、借用美四个方面探讨了歌剧翻译的关学追求。     

高师教育的科学发展观

随着社会的不断进步,教育特别是高师敦育也在不断发展。但它将如何发展?遵照哲学的规律,我们提出了四方面的观点,即：高师教育是客观需要的产物;高师教育具有多样性、多层性;高师教育要强调前瞻性;高师教育的发展取决于教学质量。     

论“幻化”艺术手段在《聊斋》中的运用

《聊斋》是我国古代文学的艺术明珠, 是一部充满积极浪漫主义精神的文学巨著。“幻化”是蒲松龄塑造艺术形象的重要手段: 它寓意精辟真幻结合; 情节细节虚实统一; 背景环境真幻交互。蒲松龄“用传奇法, 而以志怪”, 现实和幻想, 真实和离奇有机结合在一起的艺术经验值得借鉴。     

基于CCII+仿真电感的电流模式五阶高通滤波器设计

提出了一种用第二代电流传送器 [CCII+]的接地仿真电感电路 ,并利用此CCII +仿真电感设计了一个基于 LC梯形的电流模式五价高通滤波器 ,此法可进一步推广到更高阶高通滤波器的设计 .文中对截止频率分别为 10kHz ,2 5kHz ,10 0kHz的电流模式五阶Butterworth滤波器进行了计算机仿真 ,模拟结果与理论分析一致

论金庸小说的女性形象和性别意识

金庸小说在华人世界中的流行和风靡塑造了文坛奇迹,他以现代意识介入女性形象的塑造,笔下出现了一大批鲜活的有生命质感和力度的女性形象。她们表面上有个性解放、人格独立,背叛父权社会主旋律的一面,但另一方面由于传统的男权中心模式观念的影响,叛道与守道的矛盾在金庸的作品中表露无遗,狭隘的男性意识与开放的女性意识形成了其创作面貌的两个对立支点。
