Measuring the value of theatre for Tyneside audiences

What values do theatre and dance hold for audience members? And how do these values differ between subsidised, amateur, and commercial performance? This paper addresses these questions through a survey of over 1800 spectators for theatre and dance in Tyneside in northeastern England, as well as a parallel set of focus groups, in the spring of 2014. These methods, which are designed for comprehensiveness and comparability, are being used across Europe by the Project on European Theatre Systems, a working group of theatre sociologists. Our research showed two sets of values which performances achieved; one was a common measure of performance quality, while the other described the values particular to subsidised work. This allows us to articulate both the general value of the arts and the particular values which subsidy (attempts to) facilitate. This has implications for both understandings of cultural value and for cultural policy, as the distinction between the two groups was not clean. We also found that amateur theatre participated in the same value system, but with an increased emphasis on loyalty and community cohesion. The paper concludes a methodological reflection on the use of quantitative methods in theatre studies.     

Hierarchical self-localization of underwater wireless sensor network nodes

The follow-up application of underwater wireless sensor network is influenced by accuracy of self-localization of nodes. The self-localization of nodes is discussed in this paper. First of all, nodes of underwater wireless sensor network are classified into several levels according to the accuracy of position of nodes and the levels are from the first to the fifth in accordance with accuracy of nodes from high to low respectively. Secondly, the level of anchor nodes can be known by those unknown nodes from the information given by the anchor nodes themselves, At the same time the unknown nodes are able to be located in the area controlled by the first level of anchor nodes that are as the aggregation. Then the positioning algorithm is designed correspondingly in accordance with the accuracy level of nodes. Finally, the positioning algorithm is simulated and analyzed. The result shows that the unknown nodes can be located effectively by hierarchical control.

关于成人远程高等职业教育的实证研究——以湖南省“一村一名大学生计划”为例

为了探索利用现代远程教育手段将高等教育资源输入广大农村,2004年教育部启动了"一村一名大学生计划",专门为农村第一线培养"用得上、留得住"的实用型人才和基层管理人才。经过八年的实践,这项计划为农村基层培养了一大批优秀干部,有效地促进了农村经济的发展,推进了新农村建设的步伐,但也出现了不少亟待解决的问题。对此,提出四点建议:健全基层选拔制度;强化教学过程的落实,保证培养质量;调整师资结构,平衡专业发展;加强学生的自主学习和学习责任感。     

中国公民对民主政治体制态度的实证分析--就"世界价值观调查"中"无回答"的处理与Russell J. Dalton教授商榷

本文通过对“世界价值观调查”的数据分析证实,对“无回答”数据的不同处理会导致截然不同的结论。一些学者在不分析“无回答”数据的基础上,得出在中国有96%的人赞成民主政治体制的结论。但是,该调查中分别有近20%和42%的人对各种政治体制持有“不知道”和“混合”态度,而明确赞成民主体制的只占31%。逻辑斯蒂回归分析表明这两类人与明确赞成民主体制的人具有显著的差异,并且数据显示他们是现实政治体制的高度拥护者。因此不能将“无回答”数据忽略,分析“无回答”数据是作出科学结论前的一个必要环节。

安康师专贫困生心理健康状况调查

本调查运用心理健康症状自评量表（SCL－90）于2001年4月对我校计算机系和中系129名贫困生进行测量，结果显示，我校贫困生中心理障碍的检出率为28．7％，较严重心理障碍的检出率为8．5％，发生率较高的前三种症状依次为强迫，抑制和人际关系。由此可见，加强对贫困生的心理健康教育非常必要。
