Reception of Arthur Sutherland Neill＇s pedagogical concept and his Summerhill School in Hungarian and German pedagogical literature and press

Arthur Sutherland Neill is one of the most debated personalities among the representatives of the classic reform pedagogy, due to his pedagogical concept and its practical realization, and his Summerhill School, equally. He is often mentioned during public debates, where mostly the ＂three S＂--＂sex, swearing and smoking＂, are existing as subject of the debates. While analyzing publications about Summerhill School appearing in Hungarian and German pedagogical special literature and press, a kind of polarized attitude has been realized towards the conceptions and school： Some talk about him admiringly; others criticize him while emphasizing the concept＇s drawbacks and unique features.     

A Decade of Coverage (1990–2000): The Mainstream Library Press and Its Coverage of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and Its Successor States

ABSTRACT

This study examines the coverage of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union and its successor states by U.S. journals indexed in Library Literature between 1990 and 2000. Seventy-one journals were evaluated according to subject content, geographical coverage, document type, and year of article publication. The study found that the majority of articles focused on domestic and foreign library activities. Coverage peaked between the years 1990 and 1994, with a steady decline after that. The study reports on differences in coverage by peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed journals over this decade.     

Perspectives on the right to publish: Globalinequalities, digital publications, and thelegacy of revolutionary France

By 1789 the French Enlightenment had alreadyestablished that the rights of citizensincluded the right to speak, write, and printfreely. This right has since been enshrined invarious national and international documents,but remains elusive in much of the world. Oneway to consider these freedoms is to look notjust across the world comparing nations thathave or don't have freedom, but back throughtime at the first effort to promulgate thesenew rights – the French Revolution. When theFrench Revolution created freedom of the pressin 1789, the French book publishing industrywas noted for five attributes: completecensorship of all publications, a rigidlyenforced printing monopoly, copyrightprotection for all authors, fossilized content,and the proliferation of illegal presses. Digital technology is enabling a second dawn ofpress freedoms, but the five problems found inFrance two centuries ago can still be seen invarious forms, especially in the massivemonopoly of book publishing by a few countries. The answers created by France in 1810 present apartial basis for how current governments couldrespond to contemporary problems with freedomof the press. Rightly used, new digitaltechnology also has an opportunity to finallyfacilitate one of civilization's fundamentalfreedoms.     

美国新保守主义公共教育议程的社会意识形态基础分析

满足社会需求是实现社会生产的充分必要条件。教育政策的生产也是如此。只有产生了社会需求与政治需求,才有教育政策生产的充分性与必要性。20世纪60、70年代美国的三大社会运动——黑人权利运动、人本主义教育运动和新效能运动,为20世纪80年代新保守主义的复兴及其教育议程的形成铺垫了必要的社会需求,形成了新保守主义的公共教育议程,即构建以核心知识与共同文化为基础的全国课程;实现公共学校中的权力制衡;恢复公共学校中的祈祷制度。这赋予美国公共教育全新的品性——常识领域的集权与制度领域的放权,对美国教育产生了自公共学校运动以来最为重要的影响。     

Now You See Me – Now You Don't: Journalists’ Experiences With Surveillance

If democracy is a platform for many voices, and the voices of the many, journalists serve democracy by bringing these voices to the forefront of governance by asking difficult questions to those in power. It can be argued that journalists engage in the broader form of surveillance of power from below, or sousveillance [Mann, Steve, and Joseph Ferenbok. 2013. “New media and the power politics of sousveillance in a surveillance-dominated world.” Surveillance and Society 11 (1-2): 18–34.], which aims towards a form of relative equilibrium. In democracies, the institutional system of checks and balances forms the basis on which journalism pursues its watchdog function. This paper explores the experiences of journalists with surveillance and their impact on journalists’ sense of freedom to fulfil their watchdog role. The paper contributes to increasing research interest in “journalism after Snowden” by addressing the intangible conditions under which journalists may or should work, and ultimately also how widely accepted standards of democratic liberties are challenged.

当前藏书建设中存在的高比例误选黑洞及对策——以计算机类图书为例

我国高校图书馆图书误选的比例很高,已经形成可怕的误选黑洞。根据2002—2005年出版的计算机类图书数据测定出核心书目并对照5所综合性大学图书馆的馆藏发现,高校图书馆缺藏现象和零外借率现象十分严重,由此可推断目前高校图书馆存在计算机类图书的高比例误选黑洞。针对这些问题,高校图书馆可以采取分析核心出版社的出版强项、研究好书的形成要素、推动书商编制高质量的征订书目等策略。     

2006-2010年象棋规则改革的反思

针对象棋比赛消极和棋多等问题,近几年对赛制、计时、计分等规则进行了系列改革,但都存在迫使红方、主队进攻,鼓励黑方：客队消极求和、比赛质量下降的问题。如何通过规则的修改促使比赛双方积极进取努力争胜,才是象棋规则改革的核心问题。     

巩固黑土地粮仓 保障国家粮食安全

粮食安全是国家安全的重要保障。东北黑土区是我国重要的商品粮生产基地,在保障国家粮食安全中起到"压舱石"的作用。但由于该区域耕地的高强度、不合理或过度利用造成了严峻的黑土退化问题。因此,如何使黑土地粮仓高效、可持续地为国家粮食安全提供保障,是当前亟待解决的科学问题。文章系统梳理了改革开放以来黑土地粮仓的农业发展状况;在此基础上,系统总结了黑土地粮食生产可持续发展所面临的问题,并结合中央对东北地区农业生产要求,提出了协调粮食安全和生态安全、增强粮食生产可持续发展的相应对策。以期为东北黑土区农业可持续发展提供参考,为国家粮食战略部署、农业政策制定及国家粮食安全稳固等提供科学指导。
