Objectives, agreements and matching in science-industry collaborations: reassembling the pieces of the puzzle

Science-industry collaborations have been the subject of a considerable attention in the last few years. The paper argues that, however, the existing studies are still restricted to a partial view of the phenomenon. In this respect, our study departs from the specialised literature by taking into consideration, for a given set of heterogeneous collaborations, information from both the academics’ and the firms’ side, relative to their characteristics, their aims and the collaboration settings. To do so, we constructed a database of 46 collaborations from original data we collected, in several European countries and in the US, within the SESI-TSER project. The first outcome of our study is a typology of science-industry collaborations built on a formal procedure (a multi-correspondence analysis followed by an ascendant hierarchical classification) exhibiting five coherent types of collaborations that we describe precisely. Highlighting the crucial importance of research agendas, we thus propose a simple rationale for the matching process. The latter leads us to propose an “assortative” matching hypothesis generating two polar configurations which we test and confirm. Finally, we examine the policy implications of the findings.     

《金瓶梅》名词性词语述谓性探析

名词性词语居“谓语”位置是一种很有表现力的汉语言现象．本文在前人研究基础上进一步思考,提出了崭新的“维度观”．希冀为语言现象的研究提供更加多元的方法论,也以此体现语言学科的人文性特点和汉语的“活”语言特性,“视点-层次”观下,本文还分析了名词性词语的“胃语”性质,并对气胃语性质”的不同层次进行了区分。     

类型学视角下的汉维语传信范畴对比考察

在认知语言学的框架下,传信范畴是深层认知过程的语言学反映。论文在对汉维语语料进行分析的基础上,研究汉维语的传信表达方式,揭示汉维语语言结构中表示信息来源的异同,进一步印证出维吾尔语传信范畴已经语法化成一种语法范畴,而汉语传信范畴是一个语义—语用范畴。     

Backstabbing in Organizations: Employees’ Perceptions of Incidents,Motives, and Communicative Responses

This study examined employees’ perceptions of backstabbing in the workplace and an initial typology was developed for backstabbing incidents, perceived motives, and communicative responses. We employed thematic inductive analysis and unitizing to develop the typology and approached this study from the decoder's perspective (the target), whereas previous research on other negative behaviors in the workplace focused on the encoder's perspective (the perpetrator). Results indicated that active incidents (e.g., talked behind back) were more prevalent than passive incidents (e.g., withheld information), perceived motives were primarily self-interest (e.g., self-advancement), and communicative responses included interaction (e.g., confronted backstabber), action (e.g., left job), and inaction (e.g., ignored). Other responses were emotion and cognition. Demographics indicated that this phenomenon cuts across numerous organizations, industries, and hierarchical positions.     

从“给”字看襄樊话的方言类型

在襄樊方言中,“给”字有如下用法：“给1”：动词,表示“给予”、“致使”、“容许”等义;“给2”：介词,引出施事表示被动,也可用“叫、让”;“给3”：介词,引出受事,表示处置,也可用“叫（教）”;“给4”：介词,引出对象;“给5”：助词。襄樊方言的“给”在历史上是有其来源的。通过比较襄樊方言和周边方言的标记词分布特点,可以大致确定襄樊方言的分区类型。     

基于文本类型理论的翻译教材编写研究

莱斯的文本类型理论以文本的功能和类型划分作为选择翻译策略和进行翻译评估的依据,对翻译教材编写具有重要启示。编写基于该理论的新型翻译教材对于培养学生的文本意识,指导学生的翻译策略选择,以及辅助学生的翻译评估均具有重要的理论和实践意义。     

语言类型学视角下的英汉新词比较

语言类型学是语言学界的三大显学之一,可用其来进行跨国语言间的比较。文化的交流与碰撞是新词产生的一大来源。在语言类型学视角下,从新词汇来源、新词的结构、使用语境方面对英汉新词比较,找出英汉新词的语言共性及异同。     

The Use of Relational Maintenance Behaviors and Relational Characteristics Among Sibling Types

The purpose of this investigation is to apply Gold's (1989 Gold, D. T. (1989). Sibling relationships in old age: A typology. International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 28, 37–51.[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) typology of sibling relationships to the study of adult-sibling use of relational maintenance behaviors and perceptions of relational characteristics. Participants were 196 adults who targeted a sibling whose birthday was closest to their own and completed a series of instruments in reference to the targeted sibling. It was found that whether individuals classified their sibling relationships as intimate, congenial, loyal, or apathetic/hostile was reflected in their self-reported use of relational maintenance behaviors, their perceptions of their targeted siblings' use of relational maintenance behaviors with them, and their perceptions of the relational characteristics associated with the sibling relationship.     

Toward a Typology of Business Education in the Internet Age*

Many diverse forces are motivating institutions of higher education, particularly business schools, to develop and deliver education via the Internet. As higher education institutions explore this opportunity, the question of how courses and degree programs should be designed for effective online delivery via the Internet is a nontrivial concern and challenge. To address this concern and challenge, this paper articulates, defines, and justifies a typology consisting of four types of online distance education that can be pursued by institutions of higher education. The four online distance education types—Overview Model, Overview Model with Feedback, Technical‐Skills Model, and Managerial Learning Model—can be differentiated along a number of content‐related, delivery‐related, and learning‐related issues and have applicability at various educational levels. In addition, the paper highlights and discusses five key lessons for institutions to consider in their desire to launch online distance education initiatives. These lessons provide insights not only for launch success but also for the ongoing sustainability of online distance education.
