Strategic solidarity: Japanese imaginings of Blacks and race in popular media

By the twentieth century, Black intellectuals envisioned Japan as a beacon of their own possibilities. Japanese perceptions of this bond are typically implicitly assumed in most research on the subject. In this essay we argue that Japan saw Black America as a symbol of strategic not substantive solidarity. With its entrance onto the international scene in the nineteenth century, Japan encountered an international racial hierarchy, and struggled in formulating an emergent self-identity that would allow it to rationalize its rightful place alongside White Western powers. On the eve of the Second World War, Japan's national/racial identity is a complex set of influences: a merging of its own indigenous perceptions of race, an importation of outside racial ideology, and contextual needs linked to still trying to insert itself as an equal to Western powers.     

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。     

基于足底压力的优秀竞走运动员支撑足力学特征研究

通过Fcotscan足底压力步态分析系统测试优秀竞走运动员竞走支撑相足底压力分布.结果表明,竞走支撑足足底压力时间曲线具有双峰特征,足中部发力控制能力较强;压力中心轨迹在横向摆动幅度较小,纵向移动速度均匀,在足中部支撑时移动速度较快;支撑时所受冲量分布全足底,在鞋后跟着地阶段大多出现足跟内翻,在足中部支撑和蹬伸阶段左足偶有内翻现象出现,具有项目特有的动力定型.建议在训练中应增加侧重左足外侧副韧带和足底肌腱韧带的专项力量练习,以提高竞走运动员的足平衡控制能力.     

赛前训练对我国优秀女子竞走运动员比赛成绩的影响

竞走运动员不但要具有顽强的意志品质,更重要是的要具备先天优越的心肺功能和后天通过训练所获得的超强的有氧耐力以及正确的竞走技术。我国竞技体育的科学训练原则方针是“三从一大”,训练的核心就是如何从实战出发控制掌握好训练的运动量和运动强度,这就要求教练员能够在训练时正确地把握一个“度”的问题。而在运动员的训练过程中系统地进行机能监控正好是能恰当把握这个＂度＂的重要参考因素,因为它能及时地为教练员提供一些有针对性的运动员身体机能指标,为教练员更好、更科学地安排和掌控运动员的训练提供了更为科学的依据。而如何把握好竞走运动员的赛前训练,利用机能监控更好地为训练服务,是值得我们去不断总结和探索的重要课题,对于提高大赛前的训练效果和在大赛中取得成功的把握有着重大的作用和意义。本文旨在通过对国家队女子队员赛前训练的研究,发现赛前的训练安排须考虑运动员的身体机能状态和心理状态等因素,主要的原则是运动员训练的个性化原则。
