Na2S2O3溶液标定实验的误差分析

本文针对Na2S2O3溶液标定实验的误差分析这一难点,通过引导学生归纳总结,得到的结论为所有的误操作都可引起消耗的V(Na2S2O3)变化,进而导致测定结果C(Na2S2O3)的变化,由此,笔者给出了如何避免误操作的建议.     

基于18S rDNA序列对单尾虫属（粘体门，双壳目）的系统学研究

采用18S rDNA序列为基础的系统分析方法,对采自嘉陵江磁器口江段的黄颡单尾虫Unicauda pelteobagrus Ma,1998进行了分子系统学研究,首次给出了黄颡单尾虫的SSU rDNA序列信息．同时基于18S rDNA数据、遗传距离和系统树特征讨论了尾单尾虫Unicauda caudatus和黄颡单尾虫的系统关系．结果表明,尾单尾虫与尾碘泡虫的系统关系较近,而与黄颡单尾虫系统关系较远,不支持将尾单尾孢虫和黄颡单尾虫同置于单尾虫属中,并对单尾虫属的有效性提出质疑．

乒乓球运动员空间注意特征的事件相关电位(ERP)研究

在对国内外关于视觉空间注意特征研究成果进行分析的基础上,采用具有高时间同步性特征的事件相关电位(ERP)方法,对一般大学生和二级乒乓球运动员视觉空间注意特征进行对比研究,探索乒乓球运动员视觉空间注意的特征.实验结果表明:1)所有提示条件下乒乓球运动员的反应时显著快于一般大学生,两组被试有效提示条件下的反应时快于无效提示和中性提示条件下的反应时,乒乓球运动员比一般大学生的大脑加工视觉信息的速度快;2)P1、N1都有对侧脑区效应,对侧脑区波幅更大,潜伏期更短,两组被试P1、N1成分波幅大小的显著区别表现在左侧视野;3)一般大学生更容易受提示线索的影响,P1波幅出现了线索的逆转效应,有效提示下的P1波幅小于无效提示下的P1波幅,N1成分则是有效提示条件下的N1波幅大于无效提示条件下的波幅,而乒乓球运动员没有表现出这种效应;4)P2成分体现出了显著的提示效应,两组被试在有效提示条件下的波幅小于无效提示条件下的波幅;5)从2D脑地形图可以看到,两组被试在大脑的正向激活范围和强度上有很大区别,乒乓球运动员对视觉刺激的反应更敏感,正向活化的波幅更大、范围更广,负向活化波幅更小、范围更窄.由此得出,乒乓球运动员对视觉刺激的加工比一般大学生迅速,并且,在早期阶段,大脑对视觉刺激的加工与普通大学生有一定区别.     

美国赛事及场馆设施外部效应研究现状及其启示

采用文献资料法就美国关于赛事及场馆设施外部效应的研究现状进行了梳理,认为赛事及体育场馆设施并不能给所在城市带来较大的正外部经济效应,但可为其带来城市自豪感等无形效应;政府资助球队体育场馆设施建设的费用应主要由使用者和受益者负担.在与我国赛事及体育场馆设施的外部效应研究现状进行简单比较与及差异分析的基础上,提出当前我国应加强对赛事及场馆设施外部效应的研究.     

The Philosophical Conflict between the School of Baghdad and the School of Khorasan in the Tenth Century: Towards a New Understanding of the Development of Islamic Philosophy

Historians often present the evolution of Islamic philosophy through a limited number of philosophers beginning with al-Kindī and concluding with Ibn Rushd. This practice tacitly asserts that Islamic philosophy developed only in accordance with this “sequential” or “chronological” context that assumes it was the inevitable evolution of Aristotelian thought in Arabic. However, most of those who present Islamic philosophy in this manner appear to have overlooked the fact that it developed in the context of a philosophical conflict that emerged between the two schools to which the majority of Islamic philosophers belonged – the School of Baghdad and the School of Khorasan, which appeared in the tenth century and introduced philosophy to Islam and Muslims. This study stands apart from earlier attempts to present Islamic philosophy by considering these two schools and the frequently violent disputes that occurred between them. It is based on an historical-analytical approach accompanied by a rereading of numerous historical and literary texts and presents a reinterpretation of the works of Ibn Sīnā that differs from past interpretations of the history of Islamic philosophy. The study concludes with a thorough examination of the texts and contexts, which demonstrates the existence of the two philosophical schools and their significant contributions to the development of Islamic philosophy, albeit with their own distinctive elements. The study also argues that the philosophical School of Baghdad migrated to Morocco and Andalusia and arrived, in some respects, in Europe through Ibn Rushd, whereas the School of Khorasan appeared in Suhrawardī’s Philosophy of Illumination and in modern Iranian philosophy.     

Mumford on aesthetic–moral interaction in sport

Stephen Mumford argues that aesthetic and moral values in sport are interdependent, focusing on cases where immorality taints beautiful performance. This interdependence thesis is insightful but, I argue, in need of refinement, as its normative implications are unclear and perhaps implausible (e.g. the Nazi aesthetics problem). I also challenge Mumford’s perspective on the infamous Dynamo Kiev death match. Whereas Mumford claims that the match’s morally oppressive circumstances detract from it so that ‘it was not something knowingly we should have admired aesthetically’, I argue that, on the contrary, and in light of what Mumford says about other cases, such circumstances actually enhance the game’s aesthetics such that it would be wrong not to appreciate it aesthetically.     

Long-term endurance training increases serum cathepsin S and decreases IL-6 and hsCRP levels

Cathepsin S (CS) was shown to play a key role in cancer progression, atherosclerosis, heart valve disease, insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. The present prospective study aimed to investigate the influence of sports on CS, interleukin-6 (Il-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels.

Ninety-eight of 109 participants completed the study. Ergometries were performed at baseline and after 8 months to evaluate/quantify the performance gain. Blood samples were taken at baseline and every 2 months. CS was measured by ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Compared to the control group (mean performance gain ?3.41 ± 4.62%) we observed a significant physical-activity-induced increase of CS levels (3.45–3.73 ng · ml^?1; P = 0.027) and a significant decrease of Il-6 (2.43–1.91 pg · ml^?1; P = 0.031) and hsCRP-levels (0.11–0.09 mg · dl^?1; P = 0.001) in the intervention group (mean performance gain: 12.13 ± 6.32%). Furthermore, the tendency of the progression was significant for CS and Il-6 (P = 0.002/0.033).

We could show a significant sports-induced decrease of the classic inflammation parameters hsCRP/Il-6, probably expressing a downregulation of permanently prevalent inflammation processes. Simultaneously CS levels increased significantly. Our results show that increasing CS amounts are not simply to equal with an enhanced inflammation status and might even have beneficial effects on inflammation and angiogenesis.     

The De Kretser case: a note on Sri Lankan writing in English

Abstract

How is the content of a literary canon, or tradition to be configured? What counts as a literary archive? More than 25 years after Edward Said’s Orientalism (1978 Said, W. Edward. 1978. Orientalism, New York: Vintage.  [Google Scholar]), it seems reasonable to assume, that central to such traditions, would be the work of those who live and work in the society that gives rise to it. In this review, such a location of Michele de Kretser’s new novel, The Hamilton Case, is offered, as a caution to metropolitan literary critics who continue to approach Sri Lankan writing in English, as Christopher Columbus approached ‘America’. It is argued that the novel owes much to, and can be read as echoing and elaborating the detective fiction of S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike, who was, also, the fourth Prime Minister of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), 1956–59.     

Progressivism and the History of the Public House, 1850–1950

ABSTRACT

In a recent article, Alistair Mutch suggests that twin concepts – ‘control’ and ‘interpretation’ – explain the evolution of the public house over a century of dramatic changes between 1850 and 1950. This article argues that these concepts are confusing, ambiguous and misleading. It was not regulatory pressures, the temperance movement, local politicians, pressure groups or magistrates that most shaped the history of drinking premises, but developments outside the brewing industry, most notably Progressivism. Emerging in the late nineteenth century, Progressives set out to reform drinkers and drink premises, first in the trust house movement, and then in the Liquor Traffic Central Control Board during the First World War. Appropriating their ideas and philosophy immediately following the war, England's foremost brewers launched the public house improvement movement, the most far-reaching attempt to transform the nature of public drinking in the twentieth century.
