Queering Constructs: Proposing a Dynamic Gender and Sexuality Model

Abstract

Higher education educators commonly understand social identities, including gender, to be fluid and dynamic. Lev's (2004) model of four components of sexual identity is commonly used to demonstrate the fluidity of sex, gender, and sexuality for individuals, but it does little to address the fixedness of those constructs. Through a multipronged intersectional framework and by centering trans* -students, this article proposes a more dynamic model for gender and sexuality.     

Use of sexuality-focused entertainment media in sex education

The literature on the impact of entertainment media on sex education is typically pathology-focused, unclear regarding the effects of such usage, and void of dialogue between those who actually work in the areas of sexuality education and entertainment. To address this gap, this paper is the product of joint authorship between media figures from varied sexually-focused programming fields and academics who teach and conduct research in the areas of sexuality and relational health. The authors focus on the role that various forms of entertainment media play in educating members of the public and college classrooms in the areas of sex and sexuality. Additionally, examples of the inclusion of entertainment media in educational contexts are discussed.     

Using sexually explicit material in a therapeutic context

For most of us, sex is a subjective, lived experience that is as unique as our genetic make-up, our upbringing, our thoughts, values, feelings, beliefs and ideas. It is through our erotic interactions, or the absence thereof, that we form aspects of our fluid and mutable erotic paths and identities. Despite the proliferation of sexual imagery throughout our culture, many of us still struggle with what sex means to us, what we do, how we experience it and what that says about who we are as people. Some who struggle with this may seek the services of a psychosexual sex therapist. This paper aims to explain how such services function, why they are necessary and how the use of sexually explicit material, in some psychosexual therapeutic contexts, can help unravel the mixed responses we have to sex and our social conditioning, and enhance our overall relationship to eroticism, pleasure and general well-being.     

神本主义对专制和民本的超越--墨家“尚同”说评议

学术界对于墨子“尚同”说一般持两种对立的观点,即一派主张“尚同”专制说,另一派主张“尚同”民主说。我们认为,这一论争主要源于对“专制”概念的抽象化理解和墨子“尚同”说的复杂性。墨子“尚同”说既有“专制”又有“民主”,然而这两者皆非“尚同”说的本质所在,其本质是超越人治的神本主义,即“尚同”说的本质在“尚同于天”,其价值也就在于此。另外,通过与基督教“合一”理论进行比较,指出墨子“尚同说”存在着一定的局限性。     

Joint trajectories of behavioral,affective, and cognitive engagement in elementary school

The aim of the present study was to model student trajectories of behavioral, affective, and cognitive engagement from Grade 3 to Grade 6. The authors also examined whether teachers perceptions could predict student trajectory membership. The authors collected data from a sample of 831 students and 152 teachers. Using multiple-process growth mixture modeling, they identified 5 distinct trajectories of student engagement. Although a large majority of children presented a stable and high level of engagement on the three dimensions over time, more than one third of them showed a lower or changing level of engagement as the years progressed. These students were more likely to be boys and to be perceived by teachers as being less engaged. They also present more learning or behavioral problems and share less positive relationships with teachers. The results support the need to consider group-based differences when designing and adapting prevention and intervention strategies to favor student engagement.     

Renewed commitments in a time of vigilance: sexuality education in the USA*

Over the past 20 years, the USA has seen more than its fair share of controversy with respect to education about sexuality, sex and intimate relationships. Attention has focused on content (abstinence-only vs. comprehensive instruction), delivery (by teachers, parents, health professionals or community educators) and context (within school and beyond). In recognition of this fact, Sex Education invited the development of a virtual special issue comprising a sample of its most impactful papers on these and related topics. The 2016 Presidential election results and recent legislative action in the USA point to the importance of thinking broadly about teaching and learning about sexuality inside and outside of schools and of considering sexuality as it intersects with categories of difference, privilege and penalty, including ability, age, immigration, race, gender and class. This paper, developed as an introduction to the virtual special issue, opens with a discussion of the journal’s contributions to the ongoing discussion of pleasure and desire in sexuality education. From there, we turn to the question of what is possible given the material and ideological conditions of schooling and then to opportunities for teachers and learners outside the conventional classroom. We follow with a discussion of the place of intersectional analyses in sexuality education research, and conclude with some thoughts on sexuality education research at this political moment.     

白皮松后期胚发育的研究

白皮松成熟胚的显著特点是苗端发达，胚苗端的H／D(高度与直径)比率平均为0.83,   有时达0.96，为松柏类植物所罕见。它的苗端可分为四个细胞区：顶端原始细胞、中央母细   胞、周缘组织和肋状分生组织区。在肋状分生组织与下胚轴的髓之间，有一过渡组织区。       从成熟胚的结构来看，松科成熟胚基本上可以分为3种类型：1．子叶特别发达，但下胚轴短; 2．下胚轴与根冠近等长; 3．下胚轴比较发达，白皮松就是这种类型。     

星叶草的形态学研究(1)——胚胎发育过程

本研究的目的在于揭示单型属——星叶草属有关种系发生的胚胎发育性状。胚胎学     研究表明，在分析该属性状演化时下列特征是十分重要的：星叶草具有横生的、单珠被、薄     珠心胚珠; 胚囊形成为蓼型; 初生胚乳核首次纵向分裂形成两个细胞，胚乳发育为细胞型; 胚胎     发育类型基本上属于石竹型; 在胚胎发育的早期阶段，珠被萎缩并且最后消失，因此在成熟果     实中不形成种皮。根据胚胎学和一些形态学证据，作者认为星叶草属同毛茛科及其近缘科之间似乎没有密切的关系。星叶草属的亲缘关系仍有待于进一步研究。     

我国公共工程建设投资与建设中的风险识别与控制

本文通过对我国公共工程建设中的预算失控、建设质量低下以及涉及政府官员腐败等问题的现状描述，揭示这些问题产生的根源在于我国的公共工程投资与建设中缺少有效的投资预算控制与建设质量风险控制机制；本文在此基础上分析我国公共工程投资建设公开招标的买方垄断市场有效性及其预算控制功能，并对其中的工程建设质量低下与政府官员腐败等各种风险的有效识别与控制提出了相应的措施与建议。本文的分析对提高我国公共工程建设质量、促进我国公共工程建设行业的健康发展与迎接国际化竞争，都具有非常重要的理论与现实意义。     

同行评议中专家识别研究

同行评议方法在评审科研项目申请、科学出版物,评定科研成果、学位与职称、研究机构(优秀人才、学术团队)的运作等方面发挥不可替代的作用。实践表明：影响同行评议方法使用效果的两个关键环节是评价标准的制定与同行专家选择,排除评价标准制定的不科学性,专家选择则成了影响评议质量的比较关键的因素。在此,结合专家库建设的研究,初步提出了专家识别标准与指标体系。
