明代国子监制度对现代高等教育的启示

明代的最高学府——国子监在监生的选拔、培养、职前培训等方面的一系列制度,对于今天正在进行的高等教育体制改革有着重要的借鉴意义。随着现代高等教育体制改革的不断深入,为了借鉴历史经验和吸取教训,有必要加强对明代国子监教育管理制度的研究,这同样有着一定的学术价值。     

Are Students Customers in Finnish Higher Education?

This study examines Finnish higher education students’ perceptions of whether students are customers, based on qualitative interview data. The article contributes to the discussion on students as customers by giving attention to students’ own voices from a country where tuition fees are not generally collected. The data are presented and analysed using a matrix of preference and perception of seeing students as customers. While the data contained student voices insisting that it is not appropriate to talk about customers because money is not involved, different orientations showing either a preference or perception of students as customers were also described. It is concluded that seeing a student as a customer might be a solution to various higher education challenges which are not all related to tuition fees.     

Conceptualising children as sexual beings: pre-colonial sexuality education among the Gĩkũyũ of Kenya

Based on oral history accounts elicited from 25 G?k?y? elders in Kenya, this paper describes a non-penetrative sexual practice, ngweko, permitted for the sake of pleasure and sexual release among circumcised and unmarried young people in the G?k?y? community. Lessons that can be learned from the pre-colonial G?k?y? sexuality culture are identified, and possible implications for contemporary sexuality education explored.     

《太阳帝国》中的中国形象分析

英国作家詹·格·巴拉德在《太阳帝国》中塑造了沉默的中国人形象,他对战争阴霾下的上海的描写,是为了借对"他者"的否定和批判肯定自身。巴拉德对中国形象的塑造采取了意识形态化的策略,在他建构的中国形象背后,则是对自身民族身份的认同困惑,还有隐蔽的帝国主义思想和殖民意图。

Information ambiguity,patents and the market value of innovative assets

Research and development (R&D) is often essential for firms’ profitability and growth. At the same time, R&D is long-term and risky. We show that innovation activities lead to information ambiguity about the future value of firms’ assets. This effect appears to be more pronounced for small and less reputed firms. Information ambiguity further lowers firms’ market value and, in particular, the market value of innovative assets. We further show that high quality patents mitigate the negative effect of information ambiguity to some extent.     

Microscopy and literature

This article draws attention to literary works which have been influenced by microscopy, or in which microscopy has played a significant role. The work of writers including Jonathan Swift, Voltaire, George Eliot, H. G. Wells and D. H. Lawrence is discussed. In many cases these authors had direct experience of operating microscopes and viewing the wonders of the microscopic world. However, with the increasing separation of the two cultures, recent examples of microscopy in literature are rare.
