樋口一叶小说《行云》的时空意向

小说《行云》写的是一位上京求学后又返回故里的青年的故事。青年的情感经历揭示出了由甲州大藤村至东京的空间距离。文中衬以路途之险,反映了作者对当时甲州人呼吁中央线铁路建设的关注和声援。同时,作者还以“战争画”等小道具明示了小说时间与创作时间的一致性,进而虚拟了青年归乡后的数年时间,以两者暗喻了狂热一时的甲午战争对于普通民众来说毫无意义。

古代铁器腐蚀产物的结构特征

运用X射线衍射、扫描电子显微镜和穆斯堡尔谱分析方法,对河南渑池出土的T_1H_1∶250汉代铁斧表面腐蚀物进行了研究。提出了铁器文物抗腐蚀的原因在于表面氧化膜具有结构上的连续性、改密而不破损。铁器文物最理想的保存环境应该是碱性、干燥无水、无硫、氯等有害元素。     

学校市:民国时期一种“学生自治”的实践及得失

19世纪末20世纪初,美国人威尔逊·基尔发明学校市制度,并在美国多地公立学校推行。1919年前后,学校市制度被引入中国,并借助1922年新学制的颁行及公民教育的倡导,于二三十年代在全国多省市中小学校推行。其间,社会各界合力塑造出学校市非常必要而且有效的知识氛围,助力该制度的推广。然而,制度实践对制度设计的偏离,以及此种学校内“政治拟构”与“学校社会化”本旨的差异,也让学校市的组织架构及精神内涵不断发生异变,终在1930年代中期以后淡出学校场域。     

从对中国电影的态度看中华文化在海外华人中的传播——对英国华裔青少年的调查分析

论文以英国华裔青少年为例,通过问卷调查,了解中国电影在海外华侨华人中的接收情况,探讨了电影对中华文化在海外华侨华人中传播的作用和效果。论文认为中国电影是华侨华人接触和了解中华文化的重要途径,海外华人对中华文化有强烈的认知渴求,希望从中国电影中获取关于中国"言"、"象"、"意"的多层次、多元认知,他们对历史和当代中国的情况并重,对中国电影的解读体现出其文化间性。电影作为中华文化海外传播的重要窗口,应该增加其内容和形式的多样性,摆脱题材的单一性和对中国的刻板印象,用中国的话语讲好世界的故事,以摆脱文化弱势的处境,彰显中华文化的魅力,让中华文化更好地被华侨华人和世界所接受。     

A Supplemental Indicator of High-Value or Low-Value Spatial Clustering

Most test statistics for detecting spatial clustering cannot distinguish between low-value spatial clustering and high-value spatial clustering, and none is designed to explicitly detect high-value clustering, low-value clustering, or both. To fill this void in practice, we introduce an adjustment procedure that can supplement common two-sided spatial clustering tests so that a one-sided conclusion can be reached. The procedure is applied to Moran's I and Tango's C _G in both simulated and real-world spatial patterns. The results show that the adjustment procedure can account for the influence of low-value clusters on high-value clustering and vice versa. The procedure has little effect on the original global testing methods when there is no clustering. When there is a clustering tendency, the procedure can unambiguously distinguish the existence of high-value clusters or low-value clusters or both.     

以色列城市化进程中的政治因素——以新城镇为例

以色列建国初期,在南部、北部等边境地区建立若干新城镇,以分散人口、开发新区和保卫国家安全。但在利库德集团上台之后,政府投资重点转到约旦河西岸定居点建设。此举导致新城镇的衰落和城市网络的破坏,对以色列经济发展造成负面影响。本文探究政治因素如何促使政府改变投资方向并导致新城镇衰落的历史过程,厘清政治因素与以色列城市化进程的关系。
