Ethical Considerations in Classification Practice: A Case Study Using Creationism and Intelligent Design

This article re-visits a scenario from 1987: a university president required a library director to reclassify some materials into a science classification. The author looks at the prominence of the Code of Ethics of the American Library Association in the general library literature and in classification and cataloging practice literature. The issue of censorship is also discussed. The author then reviews classification for Creationism and Intelligent design and some decision-making processes one could use when deciding on the professional ethics of such a request, concluding that in some cases the ethical action might indeed be to go ahead with the reclassification.     

Conceptualizing curriculum differentiation in higher education: a sociology of knowledge point of view

Sociologists of education rooted in social realism have for more than a decade argued that knowledge matters in education, there are different kinds of knowledge, not all forms of knowledge are equal and that these differentiations have significant implications for curriculum. While this argument has made an important contribution to both theoretical and policy debate, the implications for curriculum have not been sufficiently addressed. In other words, a theory of differentiated knowledge has not translated into an adequate theory of differentiated curriculum. Drawing on Basil Bernstein’s work on knowledge differentiation and Karl Maton’s Legitimation Code Theory, this paper offers an empirically derived emerging framework for conceptualizing differentiated higher education curricula with a particular interest in occupationally and professionally oriented curricula. The framework illuminates the principles underlying curriculum differentiation, thus enabling a richer conversation about epistemological access and progression.     

Education recoded: policy mobilities in the international ‘learning to code’ agenda

Abstract

Education policy increasingly takes place across borders and sectors, involving a variety of both human and nonhuman actors. This comparative policy paper traces the ‘policy mobilities,’ ‘fast policy’ processes and distributed ‘policy assemblages’ that have led to the introduction of new computer programming practices into schools and curricula in England, Sweden and Australia. Across the three contexts, government advisors and ministers, venture capital firms, think tanks and philanthropic foundations, non-profit organizations and commercial companies alike have promoted computer programming in schools according to a variety of purposes, aspirations, and commitments. This paper maps and traces the evolution of the organizational networks in each country in order to provide a comparative analysis of computing in schools as an exemplar of accelerated, transnationalizing policy mobility. The analysis demonstrates how computing in schools policy has been assembled through considerable effort to create alignments between diverse actors, the production and circulation of material objects, significant cross-border movement of ideas, people and devices, and the creation of strategic partnerships between government centres and commercial vendors. Computing in schools exemplifies how modern education policy and governance is accomplished through sprawling assemblages of actors, events, materials, money and technologies that move across social, governmental and geographical boundaries.     

基于B/S三层架构的ASP.NET系统的代码生成研究

根据B/S信息系统的结构和功能特点,通过对代码生成工具的工作模式的研究,提出了基于MDA模型驱动架构和基于模板的驱动模式相结合的代码生成模式。它包括三种基本的模型:功能模型、对象模型、交互模型。此工具通过这三种基本模型和模板来实现B/S三层构架信息系统的生成,非常适合在迭代开发的项目中使用。     

MD5算法在Web数据库中的应用

随着Web数据库的应用越来越广泛,Web数据库的安全问题也日益突出,保障和加强数据库的安全性已成为目前必须要解决的问题。MD5算法作为一种单向加密算法,由于其加密后的数据难以解密,所以在保障Web数据库的安全性问题上采用MD5算法有着重大的作用与意义。

基于特征码的Imagehide与JPEGX图像隐藏信息检测以及提取

信息隐藏技术利用载体中存在的冗余信息来隐藏秘密对象,以隐藏秘密信息的存在。隐写术是信息隐藏的一个重要分支。隐写分析是通过对隐密对象的分析,对秘密信息进行检测及破解的技术。本文针对Imagehide与JPEGX两种网上常见的隐写工具,从分析特征码出发,揭示了检测和提取秘密信息的方法,并进行了实验,取得了较好的结果,证明了该方法的有效性。

试析我国市场经济中的寻租问题

所谓寻租，即租金的寻求，通常是指经济主体寻求非生产性利润的行为，它是我国改革开放以来经济中出现的一种泛滥最广、危害最大的新现象，由此引发的一系列腐败行为也引起了理论界的广泛关注。本文试图分析寻租的形成机制以及对设租、寻租行为的治理与防范。
