马拉松赛事对举办地城市形象影响的实证研究——基于马拉松跑者的新视角

通过文献资料、随机访谈、专家咨询等研究方法,建立了马拉松赛事对举办地城市形象影响的跑者价值感知测评模型,运用样本数据对模型进行适配,进一步构建马拉松赛事影响举办地城市形象的跑者价值感知与行为意向的结构方程模型。结果显示,马拉松赛事影响举办地城市形象的跑者价值感知测评模型包含6个维度城市规划与建设影响维度、城市政府治理影响维度、城市经济发展影响维度、城市市民行为影响维度、城市对外宣传影响维度和城市文化发展影响维度。马拉松赛事对举办地城市形象影响的跑者价值感知在不同性别群体、不同年龄群体、不同职业群体、不同文化程度群体、不同地域分布群体之间存在差异性,但其显著性的表现维度各具差异。关于马拉松赛事对举办地城市形象影响的价值感知与行为意向的结构方程模型,其各项适配指数均达到优良水平,说明预设结构方程模型适配效果较好。5个潜变量对行为意向的标准化路径系数均通过了1‰的显著性水平检验,表明马拉松赛事影响举办地城市形象的跑者价值感知对其行为意向产生了比较显著的干预效果,由此反映出马拉松赛事对举办地城市形象的影响是比较显著的,影响辐射面越来越广。     

It’s a match (?): Tinder usage and attitudes toward interracial dating

ABSTRACT

The increased popularity of dating apps such as Tinder coupled with the rise in interracial marriages form the foundation of this study which explores the role played by visual and cultural cues in people’s dating decisions. Using a within-group 2*3 experimental design (N = 331) among a convenience sample of adults in the Netherlands, this study provides insight into how the ethnicity associated with profile pictures and names impact the evaluation of a potential date on Tinder. Overall, respondents ranked Caucasian-looking Tinder users as more attractive and more likely to be their date of choice. Interestingly, this finding did not hold when narrowed down to respondents identifying as Western-European only: They did not prefer Caucasian-looking or sounding profiles. Perceived attractiveness was shown to partially mediate the choice of a Caucasian-looking profile, regardless of name.

Performance and age of African and non-African runners in World Marathon Majors races 2000–2014

The age for the fastest marathoners is well investigated, but not the age and nationality of the fastest. We investigated the age of peak marathon performance for the annual top 100 women and men competing in four races of the “World Marathon Majors” (Boston, Berlin, Chicago and New York) and the “Stockholm Marathon” between 2000 and 2014 using mixed-effects regression analyses and one-way ANOVA. Race times of Ethiopian men decreased to 2:14 h:min, but remained unchanged for Kenyan (2:14 h:min), Moroccan (2:15 h:min) and South African (2:18 h:min) men. Race times in Ethiopian (2:34 h:min), Kenyan (2:29 h:min) and South African (2:49 h:min) women showed no changes. Age increased in Ethiopian and South African men to 29.0 ± 5.0 and 32.0 ± 1.0 years, respectively. Age for Kenyan (29.9 ± 2.0 years) and Moroccan (34.9 ± 3.9 years) men remained unchanged. Age remained unchanged for Ethiopian (26.5 ± 2.0 years), Kenyan (30.0 ± 0.8 years) and South African (36.3 ± 7.0 years) women. In summary, Ethiopian men improved marathon race times, but not Ethiopian women. Age increased in Ethiopian men, but not in Ethiopian women. For practical applications, female and male marathoners from Ethiopia were the youngest and the fastest.     

Just‐Do‐It‐(Yourself): independent filmmaking in Malaysia

Abstract

This paper pursues the genealogies of mi-yi (secret doctors) as a threshold figure to attend to the questions of state-mediated governance and knowledge power concerning medical modernity in postwar Taiwan. To consider the mi-yi figure as symptomatic of Taiwan's medical modernity, I inquire into the question of how the scientific discourse of modernity as purported by the class of medical professionals converges with state power to discipline and regulate medical subjects and practices vis-à-vis the discourse of mi-yi. To this end, I analyze the anti-mi-yi discourse that emerged since the 1950s to discuss how the modern medical profession employed a language of science, rationality, and security that initiated an extended state surveillance of unregulated medical subjects and practices. The second part of the essay reads Chen Yingzhen's novella, Zhao Nandong as part of Taiwan's medical “archives” to explore the politics of embodied medical labor as a situated instance of the contradictions of medical modernity. I situate the literary imagination of Zhao Nandong in the social context of mi-yi discourse to frame the erased labor and violence, the ways in which the histories of these labors have been doubly obscured by the conflation of nationalistic historiography and positivist knowledge production of sociological categorizations of Taiwan's modernity.     

Political Prisoners' Memoirs in Zimbabwe

ABSTRACT

Prison narratives are a key genre of African nationalist writing. They offer a unique window onto the relationships between the personal and political, the self and nation. This article focuses on the memoirs of three Zimbabwean political prisoners in order to explore claims to agency in prison, constructions of gender and race, and the complexities of individual passages within the collective narrative of nationalism. The memoirs are revealing of a formative period in Zimbabwean nationalism, and of the individuals and ideas that shaped independent Zimbabwe.     

Equity in college physics student learning: A critical quantitative intersectionality investigation

We investigated the intersectional nature of race/racism and gender/sexism in broad scale inequities in physics student learning using a critical quantitative intersectionality. To provide transparency and create a nuanced picture of learning, we problematized the measurement of equity by using two competing operationalizations of equity: Equity of Individuality and Equality of Learning. These two models led to conflicting conclusions. The analyses used hierarchical linear models to examine student's conceptual learning as measured by gains in scores on research-based assessments administered as pretests and posttests. The data came from the Learning About STEM Student Outcomes' (LASSO) national database and included data from 13,857 students in 187 first-semester college physics courses. Findings showed differences in student gains across gender and race. Large gender differences existed for White and Hispanic students but not for Asian, Black, and Pacific Islander students. The models predicted larger gains for students in collaborative learning than in lecture-based courses. The Equity of Individuality operationalization indicated that collaborative instruction improved equity because all groups learned more with collaborative learning. The Equality of Learning operationalization indicated that collaborative instruction did not improve equity because differences between groups were unaffected. We discuss the implications of these mixed findings and identify areas for future research using critical quantitative perspectives in education research.     

浙江省马拉松越野赛的现状及发展对策研究

本文以2015年浙江开化国家公园越野赛和宁波山地马拉松为例,运用文献资料法、访谈法、问卷调查法等研究方法对两场赛事的现状和参与者进行研究,调查越野跑参与者的年龄、收入、学历、来源地等基本特征,并发现参与者开始训练时间和参赛经历等特点。研究认为,未来马拉松越野赛在赛事方面应加强赛道规划、项目设置、赛事难度、比赛日期、天气因素、医疗服务、救援力量。在服务方面应提高信息提供、赛事服务、志愿者服务。在赛事开发方面,丰富媒体宣传及公关活动,因地制宜,结合旅游、商贸,开发相关衍生产品,降低办赛经济压力。
