BioSYNTHESIS: bridging the information gap

BioSYNTHESIS is a prototype intelligent retrieval system under development as part of the IAIMS project at Georgetown University. The aim is to create an integrated system that can retrieve information located on disparate computer systems. The project work has been divided in two phases: BioSYNTHESIS I, development of a single menu to access various databases which reside on different computers; and BioSYNTHESIS II, development of a search component that facilitates complex searching for the user. BioSYNTHESIS II will accept a user's query and conduct a search for appropriate information in the IAIMS databases at Georgetown. For information not available at Georgetown, such as full text, it will access selected remote systems and translate the search query as appropriate for the target system. The search through various computer systems and different databases with unique storage and retrieval structures will be transparent to the user. BioSYNTHESIS I is complete and available to users. The design work for BioSYNTHESIS II is under development and will continue as a multiyear technical research effort of the proposed Georgetown IAIMS implementation project.

嵇康的忠君观念探析

长期以来,人们对于魏晋时期竹林派玄学家嵇康的关注焦点多放在他"越名任心",蔑视礼教的思想旨趣方面,进而认为他非但不忠君,简直就是无君论的开创者。然而,深入分析嵇康的为文和为人,其确属"虽宗自然而未忘名教"者。不仅如此,他还是儒家忠君观念的维护者和实践者,他的忠君观念具有深厚的儒家思想底蕴,而孔孟的"以道事君"、"从道不从君"等思想正是其忠君观念的思想源流和主旨。     

社会主义政治文明:渊源及路径选择

21世纪之初,中国共产党与时俱进,提出了社会主义政治文明思想,这是对马克思政治学理论的创新和发展。政治文明是指每一种社会形态由生产关系所决定的政治发展的状态和水平,是社会文明不可或缺的重要组成部分。社会主义政治文明的理论渊源是“三个代表”重要思想。社会主义政治文明建设的核心是民主制度建设,包括党内民主和人民民主制度建设。在这个建设过程中要勇于借鉴其他国家政治文明建设的积极成果。中国共产党的十六大为我国的政治文明建设绘制了蓝图。经过不懈努力,高度发达的社会主义政治文明一定会实现。     

试论中国国民党"政党领军"模式的确立及其发展演变

政党领军模式的出现反映了以孙中山为首的革命党人欲建立一支与旧军队相区别的新式武装的情绪,也反映了党在军队中影响的现实。它为整合国家军政关系、改革军制、建设现代武装力量、消除地方割据、完成政治统一诸多问题发挥了重大的历史性作用。其发展演变更为我们了解近代中国军政关系的曲折演变提供了器物基础。     

GENDER MODERATES ASSOCIATION BETWEEN EMOTIONAL‐BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS AND TEXT COMPREHENSION IN CHILDREN WITH BOTH READING DIFFICULTIES AND ADHD

Evidence suggests that higher order linguistic functioning such as text comprehension is particularly vulnerable to emotional modulation. Gender has been identified as an important moderating variable in emotional expression such that girls tend toward internalizing emotions (e.g., sadness, anxiety) whereas boys tend toward externalizing emotions (e.g., anger, combativeness), which may influence the relationship between emotion and text comprehension. The present study examined whether gender moderates the relationship between emotional‐behavioral problems and text comprehension among children (n = 187; boys = 115, girls = 72) with both word reading difficulties (RD) and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a sample widely acknowledged to be at increased risk for developing emotional‐behavioral problems such as anxiety, poor academic self‐concept, and delinquency. A moderated regression analysis tested for the significance of two separate interaction terms (i.e., gender × externalizing problems, gender × internalizing problems) after controlling for gender, IQ, basic reading skills, cognitive‐linguistic processes closely related to reading, attentional problems, internalizing problems, and externalizing problems. Results indicated that gender significantly and uniquely moderates the relationship between emotional‐behavioral problems and text comprehension. Specifically, text comprehension was relatively lower among girls with relatively higher externalizing problems, whereas no such association was observed among boys. These results contribute to our understanding of cognition–emotion interactions within reading development and raise important implications.     

建国后我国工农业产品价格剪刀差分析

剪刀差是指工农业产品交换中工业品长期高于其价值,农产品长期低于其价值的一种状况。建国后我国农民所承受的剪刀差隐性负担是很重的。我国通过剪刀差政策对农业剩余的过度抽取,在一定时期内加速了工业化进程。但由于剪刀差从根本上违背了价值规律,且幅度过大、时间过长,从而给我国农业乃至整个国民经济的发展带来了严重不良后果。剪刀差政策是建国后我国二元经济社会结构主要政策支点之一。当工业化已经达到中后期阶段时,正确的政策取向应为尽快缩小剪刀差乃至取消剪刀差,统筹城乡经济社会全面发展。

An initial study of the diagnostic utility of the emotional and behavioural screener in Lithuania

In schools, screening is an effective method to identify students at-risk for emotional and behavioural disorders. Several intervention programmes such as Positive Behaviour Interventions and Supports, Response to Intervention, and Multi-tiered Systems of Supports call for the use of psychometrically sound screening instruments. This study investigated diagnostic utility of a brief (10-item) screener, the Emotional and Behavioural Screener (EBS) with a sample 312 Lithuanian students. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was used as a reference point for the investigation. Diagnostic utility statistics (i.e. overall agreement, misleading negatives, sensitivity, specificity and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) were used to evaluate the usefulness and validity of the EBS. The results indicate, that majority of the diagnostic utility statistics thresholds were met; however, some gender differences were found. In sum, the EBS appears to be an accurate screener discriminating students not at-risk and at-risk for emotional and behavioural problems. Study limitations, future research directions and implications are discussed.
