Evaluation of Internet Information Sources by High School Students in Ghana

The Internet clearly presents the opportunity for students to expand their knowledge at a fast pace, since they are able to access enormous amount of information. However, accessing the Internet also has its downside since not all information is of good quality. The study explored how 12th grade students at a high school in Ghana evaluated online information sources. These students and the head of the Information Communication Technology department respond to self-administered questionnaires and a semi-structured interview, respectively. The study found that most of the high school students did some kind of an evaluation of online information sources, however, they were not applying the right criteria. The study further revealed that students were not introduced to evaluation criteria at school and this had contributed to the gap in their evaluation competencies.     

Worn Grooves

Drawing from visual, material and written archival sources, this article critically explores some of the functions, uses and perceived values of recorded sound during the First World War and in its aftermath. An instrument of communication as well as commemoration, the gramophone helped bridge geographical (and, in some cases, cultural) distances between the home front and the rear, providing civilians with the fleeting illusion of presence, proximity, or even sentimental communion with the front. The article analyses (a) the affective and connective, but also propagandist, values of commercial wartime recordings as they circulated between the home and the front, (b) the popular notion of gramophones as regulatory instruments of civilisation, (c) the commemorative exploitations of recorded sound in the interwar period. The article focuses on the British experience, contrasting it with examples drawn from French and German experiences.     

The Formation of Swedish Media Studies, 1960–1980

Around 1960, the politics of the emerging media society in Sweden tended to fixate the formative functions of mass communication. The monopoly of public service broadcast media, press subsidies and new tendencies in film policy were some of the issues around which uncertainty prevailed. New methods to provide reliable data were sought by politicians, since empirical facts were required as arguments for an updated media policy. This article examines the different ways that the field of media studies was introduced in Sweden between 1960 and 1980. We argue that Swedish academic media studies departed from, and emerged within, a rather diffuse borderland between industry, politics and academia. The formation of national media research in Sweden can partly be seen as an effect of politicians and the media industry wanting to be better informed on issues such as media influence, media ownership and the habits and composition of the media audience.

博古学研究与欧洲近代早期自然史的复兴探析

博古学者对史料的搜集和整理,为后世史学家的深入研究提供材料,并使古希腊、古罗马时期探究事物的根本方法,即自然史在近代欧洲再次盛行。随着自然史的复兴,历史研究开始对知识本身有更深刻的诉求。博古学者借用自然史的方法,质疑古代作品的真实性,将实物史料中蕴含的经验知识纳入历史研究的范畴。学者们提高了对事实的敏感度,想象和虚构也变得不再容易,开始与古典史学那种修辞、演讲的功用有了明显的区分。

大学生运动锻炼组与非运动锻炼组若干生活方式要素的分析与比较

运用Prentice,W.E.于1990建立的健康生活方式自评量表(来自Fitness and Wellnessfor Life),对江苏省10所高校大学生的生活方式进行实证调查。选取该量表中的“运动锻炼”指标对大学生进行分类,比较“锻炼组”和“非锻炼组”大学生其他生活方式要素的异同。结果表明:“锻炼组”和“非锻炼组”大学生在“吸烟”、“遵医嘱服药”、“每日食物多样性”、“学习的积极性”、“寻求感情释放和帮助”、“参加集体活动”等生活方式要素方面均存在差异,说明锻炼与否与健康生活方式的形成存在较高的相关性。
