体育与健康课程教学以“健康第一”为核心，以全面提高学生素质为目标，是培养学生创新能力的重要环节。创设体育课堂教学的民主协作氛围，保障学生心理的自由和安全，构建以人为本，以动机、兴趣、情感、意志为基本内容的激励体系，为培养和发展学生的创新能力提供良好的心理环境。     

反腐败的最根本途径：发扬民主,以民制权

反腐败的本质问题是民主建设问题,要根治腐败必须下大力气加强民主政治建设,健全反腐败的民主机制,即反腐败一要靠民主,以社会制约权力,增强反腐败的基础和力量;二要讲民主,以权利制约权力,保证反腐败的效率和质量.这既是历史发展的必然趋势,也是反腐败的现实需要.     

家庭、社会与和谐

家庭和谐与社会和谐是互为条件的。家庭的结构和功能随着社会的发展而呈现不同的特征。社会结构格局的不同也引起了道德观念的差异。现在我国正在经历具有伟大而深远历史意义的社会大转变。人口大流动。家庭大动荡，成亿的农民转入城镇工作、生活与定居，家庭成员长期分离，空巢老人、空巢孩子等现象显示出的家庭问题、社会问题都急待解决。实现和谐，既是源远流长的社会理想，也是我们面对现实的理智选择。要达到和谐，就要既能宽厚地容许多样化，又要努力地进行平衡与协调，从而实现各种合理的、优秀的因素都能共存、共荣，互相促进，共同发展。如果我们无论在社会上还是在家庭中，都能积极地坚持民主法治、公平正义、诚信友爱，充满活力，也就能够做到各尽其能，各得其所，实现安定有序，和谐相处。

Piece-by-Piece Review of Digitize-and-Lend Projects through the Lens of Copyright and Fair Use

Digitize-and-lend library projects can benefit societies in multiple ways, from providing information to people in remote areas or with physical disabilities to facilitating the sharing of library resources with information-poor communities. This article explores the potential of digitize and lend as well as outlines how projects can be undertaken in a manner respectful of the balance of copyright.     

Elementary school children’s understanding of science: The implementation of an extracurricular science intervention

The promotion of students’ achievement and competence in the so-called STEM disciplines is one cornerstone of current educational research and practice. In particular, as early as elementary school, the fostering of an adequate understanding of science is a normative goal of science education. It facilitates students’ science learning and enables them to understand the nature and development of scientific knowledge. Based on the relevance of the promotion of young children’s understanding of science, a corresponding science intervention was recently developed and successfully evaluated in a first study under highly controlled conditions. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of this intervention when implemented in practice. One hundred seventeen third- and fourth-grade students and 10 trained course instructors participated in this study. We applied a randomized block design with waitlist control groups and repeated measures. The results revealed that children assigned to the intervention compared with children assigned to the waitlist control group showed better inquiry-related methodological competencies (a better understanding of the scientific inquiry cycle and experimentation strategies) and a higher need for cognition. The findings point to the successful implementation of the intervention and are compared with the results of the first study.     

Improving cognitive and physical function through 12-weeks of resistance training in older adults: Randomized controlled trial

ABSTRACT

We performed a randomized, controlled trial to analyse the effects of resistance training (RT) on cognitive and physical function among older adults. Fifty participants (mean age 67 years, ~60% woman) were randomly assigned to an RT program or a control group. Participants allocated to RT performed three sets of 10-15RM in nine exercises, three times per week, for 12-weeks. Control group did not perform any exercise. Variables included cognitive (global and executive function) and physical function (gait, mobility and strength) outcomes. At completion of the intervention, RT was shown to have significantly mitigated the drop in selective attention and conflict resolution performance (Stroop test: -494.6; 95%CI: -883.1; ?106.1) and promoted a significant improvement in working memory (digit span forward: -0.6; 95%CI: ?1.0; ?0.1 and forward minus backward: -0.9; 95% CI: ?1.6; ?0.2) and verbal fluency (animal naming: +1.4, 95%CI 0.3, 2.5). No significant between-group differences were observed for other cognitive outcomes. Regarding physical function, at completion of the intervention, the RT group demonstrated improved fast-pace gait performance (?0.3; 95% CI: ?0.6; ?0.0) and 1-RM (+21.4 kg; 95%CI: 16.6; 26.2). No significant between-group differences were observed for other mobility-related outcomes. In conclusion, RT improves cognitive and physical function of older adults.     

Arts councils,policy-making and “the local”

ABSTRACT

In the British Isles, national policies for the arts are primarily viewed as the responsibility of arts councils with statutory duties to distribute state funding that meet the requirements of both “arms-length” principles and national strategic frameworks. This paper explores the tensions between policy making for the nation-state and for “the local” through comparative research on the arts councils (and equivalent bodies) in Scotland, England and Northern Ireland. Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews with senior representatives from these organisations, it explores their notions of, responsibilities to and affiliations with “the local”. Findings suggest that despite their different models and relationships to the nation-state, and the disparities in the scale of investment, these national policy bodies commonly rely on networked governance to facilitate their relationship to “the local” which risks reproducing national interests, limiting the localised agency of place-based approaches and contributing to a culture of competition within cultural policy.     

构建民主开放的组织工作新机制初探

面对开放的时代、开放的社会和开放的形势，如何加强和改善党的组织工作，是新时期党的建设工作的一个重大课题。构建民主开放的组织工作新机制，则为这个课题的解决拓展了新的思路。     

和谐社会视野中的生态政治建设

生态危机是人与自然、人与人关系的双重异化。和谐社会应当包括人与自然以及生态主义视野下的人与人的和谐，建设生态政治是构建现代和谐社会的必要内容。生态政治不仅着眼于目前生态问题的解决，更是实现发展可续和生态公正的政治保障机制。建立生态文化，建设生态政府以及发展基层民主政治是目前建设生态政治的路径选择，三个方面各有意义，又相互关联、相互促进。
