Relationship Understanding Between Emotional Stability,Self-Disclosure and Social Adjustment

This paper discusses a survey, carried out by the authors, of 211 employees’ employed in public and private manufacturing organizations in North India to determine if emotional stability acts as a mediator between self-disclosure and social adjustment. Capitalization theory has been used as theoretical framework to examine the proposed relationships. Results indicate that high self-disclosure has positive association with social adjustment. Results also suggest that emotional stability partially mediates self-disclosure and social adjustment relationship. Implications for future research include further examination through additional mediators and other dimensions of self-disclosure from capitalization theory in understudied non-U.S. cultures like India.     

Rajnikant in Japan: Indian “superstardom” and low value markets

This paper draws attention to some questions thrown up by the increased circulation of mass-produced cultural commodities sourced from Asia in the relatively new markets of the region. Juxtaposing the short-lived success of the Indian star Rajnikant in Japan in the late 1990s and the unsuccessful attempt to promote Korean films in the Indian theatrical circuits a decade later, the paper argues that in spite of their considerable differences both instances foreground the difficulties cultural industries of Asia have in generating revenues in the region's markets. The paper goes on to elaborate on a model of stardom, exemplified by Rajnikant, which has evolved as a direct response to the challenges posed by low value markets.     

意念健身术之研究

人与动物本质区别在于人类拥有“意识”。也正是因为有了意识，人类才得以能动地认识世界和改造世界。在认识、改造世界的历程中，人类找到了一种运用自身思想意识来发展、完善自己的方法——意念健身术（即人们运用意识来控制自己的身心活动，从而进行身体锻炼及修养品德的一种健身方法）。对这种古老的健身方法的历史起源、本质属性及科学机理等进行探索，有利于我们寻找其在现代社会中的价值意义以及更好地运用其价值。     

‘We tend to stick together and mostly we stick to our own kind’: British Indian women and support networks at university

This paper will examine the support networks that are available to British Indian women studying at a ‘new’ (post-1992) university in the South-East of England, UK. It will examine the support that women draw upon whilst at university and discuss the ways in which these support networks enable women to develop strategies for success. Thirty-two in-depth interviews were carried out with British Indian women who were studying for a Social Sciences or Education Studies degree in one university. All of the interviews were tape-recorded and the data transcribed. The findings suggest that British Indian women are able to use their support networks to enable them to succeed in higher education. The article will draw upon the work of Putnam to argue that within their communities at university, women engage in their support networks from which they develop ‘bonding’ and ‘bridging’ social capital.

舞动的古朴魅影,腾飞的自然文明——从文学地理学的角度解读《羽蛇》

作为一种新的文学研究方法,从文学地理学角度研究文学与从伦理学、政治学或者是宗教学的角度研究文学具有同等重要的意义。通过细读文本,从文学地理学中自然地理景观和民俗风情的视角来解读劳伦斯的作品《羽蛇》,可以发现:劳伦斯对自然的崇尚,对人与自然和谐关系的推崇,以及对西方基督教文明的公然反抗。他主张在思想上的求新和在精神上对自由的追求,并且主张在人民生活中去寻找自我。

印度诗歌及泰戈尔对我国新诗诗体建设的影响

学界通常认为新诗是西洋诗歌的横的移植，忽视东方诗歌，特别是印度诗歌对中国新诗的影响。事实上以泰戈尔为代表的印度诗歌对中国新诗的影响较大。它不仅是新诗革命的潜在动力，还较大地影响了新诗革命的态度、新诗的形态及新诗的诗体方式，小诗体正是泰戈尔诗歌直接影响的结果。泰戈尔的做人方式和作诗方式对郭沫若、冰心等人的影响较大。他的影响既有正面的，也有负面的。他的强调诗的哲理性的诗现和散化式的诗体方式，对中国新诗诗体的建设产生了较大的负面影响。由于时代潮流和诗歌翻译等原因，中国新诗人也误读了泰戈尔，以为他写的都是无韵诗。     

Study of C-Reactive Protein and Myocardial Infarction in the Indian Population

To analyse the association of high sensitivity C-reactive (hsCRP) protein levels and −717A/G single nucleotide polymorphism of CRP with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the Indian population. Study population included 100 MI cases wherein 32 patients had experienced previous MI (MI-Group-1), 68 MI cases were recruited at presentation (MI-Group-2) and equal number of age and gender matched healthy individuals. hsCRP levels were determined by ELISA and genotyping of −717A/G was carried out by polymerase chain reaction-based restriction digestion method. The −717A/G genotypes did not influence hsCRP level and their distribution did not differ between groups. However, in the present study hsCRP demonstrated significant correlation with BMI in controls of both the genders and with triglycerides in females of AMI at presentation who otherwise are with low risk profile. Identifying traditional risk factors associated with inflammation may help in controlling the acute event.
