肖邦《f小调幻想曲》结构形式之分析--初涉"混合曲式"结构基础的生成原理

肖邦《f小调幻想曲》由于其作品强烈深刻的英雄史诗般风格,创作中大量运用了庞大复杂的戏剧性手法,反映在结构形式上更趋综合多样化。文章分别从混合曲式生成的外部条件和内部条件,结合该具体作品的细部分析,探寻了混合曲式结构基础的生成原理。     

Risk Assessment and Optimisation of Blast Mitigation Strategies for Design and Strengthening of Built Infrastructure

A probabilistic risk assessment procedure is developed which can predict risks of explosive blast damage to built infrastructure, and when combined with life-cycle cost analysis, the procedure can be used to optimise blast mitigation strategies. The paper focuses on window glazing since this is a load-capacity system which, when subjected to blast loading, has caused significant damage and injury to building occupants. Structural reliability techniques are used to derive blast reliability curves for annealed and toughened glazing subjected to explosive blast for a variety of threat scenarios. The probabilistic analyses include the uncertainties associated with blast modelling, glazing response and glazing failure criteria. Damage risks are calculated for an individual window and for windows in the facade of a multi-storey commercial building. The paper shows an illustrative example of how this information, when combined with risk-based decision-making criteria, can be used to optimise blast mitigation strategies.     

Examining explanatory style for failure of direct entry and transfer students using structural equation modelling

This study tested the factor structure of the explanatory style for failure (ESF) using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), tested measurement invariant across direct entry and transfer students, tested latent mean differences between these groups on the ESF factors, and tested a theoretical path model, whereby ESF explains variance in grades indirectly through one’s academic resourcefulness. A sample of 743 direct entry and 371 transfer students, with an overall mean age of 21.85 years, completed the ESF and a scale assessing academic resourcefulness, and year-end grades were attained. There was mixed support for the ESF 4-factor structure, though it was invariant across groups. Latent mean analysis showed that transfer students were less likely to attribute academic disappointments to lack of effort, bad luck, and lack of personal ability than direct entry students. Analysis of indirect effects showed that ESF indirectly predicted grades through academic resourcefulness.     

符号计算主义与意向实在论

符号计算主义的意向实在论论证的要点,是表明具有语义性质的命题态度的因果效力。然而,在这里,命题态度的因果效力是通过命题态度的句法性质而得到论证的。这就给符号计算主义的意向实在论论证带来了问题:命题态度的语义性质如何能够对认知系统的行为具有因果相关性?语义性质的因果效力问题是意向实在论论证的关键所在。因此,符号计算主义对意向实在论的论证是不成功的。     

试析制约联合短语结构顺序的因素

联合短语中各结构项的语法地位是平等的 ,但这并不说明其结构顺序可以随意改变。本文主要从语义关系的角度出发 ,考察了联合短语的结构项处于并列、顺承、递进关系时 ,其结构顺序的制约因素。旨在说明应用联合短语时应遵循一定的原则     

Relationship of creativity and critical thinking to pattern recognition among Singapore private school students

Abstract

Cognitive pattern recognition is known to be an important skill for academic subjects such as mathematics, science, languages, or even humanities. In this study, we investigate the relationships between creativity, critical thinking, and pattern recognition among 203 private school students in Singapore. The instruments used include a creativity test (modified Creativity Selected Elements Questionnaire), a Critical Thinking Test (modified Cornell Critical Thinking), and a pattern recognition test. The main data analysis is done using the SMART-PLS structural equation modeling software. The results of the study reveal that creativity is a weak predictor of pattern recognition (β?=?0.131, p?>?0.05, f² = 0.024) but critical thinking is a good predictor (β?=?0.517, p?<?0.05, f² = 0.374). An implication of the research outcome is that more training on critical thinking should be given to the students to improve their pattern recognition ability.     

周扬与社会主义现实主义

社会主义现实主义是前苏联文艺界在批判“拉普派”的“唯物辩证法的创作方法”的过程中提出来的。在20世纪30年代初,周扬第一个向中国全面系统地介绍社会主义现实主义并进行了深刻的阐释。后来,他又根据毛泽东《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》精神进行阐释,使社会主义现实主义成为中国文学创作和批评的最高准则。50年代中后期,社会主义现实主义受到质疑,周扬根据毛泽东的一次讲话,用“两结合”的创作方法取代了社会主义现实主义,但是周扬在阐释“两结合”创作方法的过程中,甚至在新时期的文艺论述中,仍然谨慎地维护着社会主义现实主义的基本精神。     

体育新闻语言中的战争隐喻

体育新闻报导中使用了大量描述战争的词语，许多战争用语与体育新闻语言之间存在着一一对应的关系。这是因为体育比赛的概念系统是以战争概念系统为基础，以隐喻的方式构建起来的。这里面隐含着这样一个概念隐喻：体育比赛是战争。它属于战争隐喻的一个子隐喻。同时它又是个结构隐喻，包含一个母隐喻和三个子隐喻。正是这个战争隐喻能使我们不用再创造另一套概念系统就能借表述战争的一套概念系统去表达体育比赛。
