简论志书民族篇章记述

志书民族内容具有特殊的文化属性和政治属性,是志书的地方特色之一,尤其是民族自治地区所编志书。通过提高对民族篇章的地位和作用的认识,分析民族篇章编写存在的一些普遍问题,可以重新确定志书民族篇章的记述规范和要求,从而使志书功能得到更好的发挥。     

大冶香炉山遗址采集炉渣初步研究

对湖北省大冶市香炉山遗址采集的20个炉渣样品进行了扫描电镜检测,发现了炼制锑青铜、锡铅青铜、生铁的炉渣。重点对锡铅青铜的冶炼流程进行了推断,认为该遗址首先使用伴生有铅镍砷等元素的铜矿石进行还原冶炼,再添加锡料生产以锡铅为主要合金元素并含有镍砷的青铜,先后排出不含锡和含锡的两种高铁型炉渣。香炉山遗址出现的青铜生产证据,预示着大冶地区可能存在着相当规模的有别于中原的早期青铜产业,对探讨鄂东南地区早期冶金技术与当地文明的演进关系具有重要意义。     

欧洲思想史研究范式转换的学术路径

在西方学术界,一直具有重视思想史研究的传统。通过对思想史研究学术史的考察可以发现,长久以来,虽然思想史研究一直是欧洲学术界重点研究的领域,但还没有真正形成"历史性"的考察。20世纪80年代,"剑桥学派"的兴起才改变了这一研究范式。与此同时,以昆廷·斯金纳和德国的考斯莱克为代表的一些学者又提出"概念史"这一新的研究范式。值得注意的是,最近几年,学者们又在新的全球化的背景下提出思想史的"国际转向"。目前,思想史研究一方面正在深化对具体内容的研究,另一方面,也同时展开了对思想史研究范式本身的反思和讨论。而对这种学术史的梳理和反思将会有助于我们理解欧洲学术界研究范式不断推陈出新的基础和动力,以及重构思想史研究未来的取向与学术特性。     

Latent trajectory models for space‐time analysis: An application in deciphering spatial panel data

This article introduces latent trajectory models (LTMs), an approach often employed in social sciences to handle longitudinal data, to the arena of GIScience, particularly space‐time analysis. Using the space‐time data collected at county level for the whole United States through webpage search on the keyword “climate change,” we show that LTMs, when combined with eigenvector filtering of spatial dependence in data, are very useful in unveiling temporal trends hidden in such data: the webpage‐data derived popularity measure for climate change has been increasing from December 2011 to March 2013, but the increase rate has been slowing down. In addition, LTMs help reveal potential mechanisms behind observed space‐time trajectories through linking the webpage‐data derived popularity measure about climate change to a set of socio‐demographic covariates. Our analysis shows that controlling for population density, greater drought exposure, higher percent of people who are 16 years old or above, and higher household income are positively predictive of the trajectory slopes. Higher percentages of Republicans and number of hot days in summer are negatively related to the trajectory slopes. Implications of these results are examined, concluding with consideration of the potential utility of LTMs in space‐time analysis and more generally in GIScience.     

Performance-based Seismic Design of a Pendulum Tuned Mass Damper System

The study implements the performance-based analysis and design methodology to assess the seismic vulnerability of a coal-fired power plant and to optimally design its equivalent pendulum-type tuned mass damper system such that the direct losses are minimized. A building-specific total loss ratio is developed to link the component level losses with the total repair cost of the original structure. The optimal system configuration is finally derived for cases with the minimum loss. The study demonstrates a systematic way of achieving the optimal pendulum-type tuned mass damper design with considerations of uncertainties in earthquake inputs and the combined component level damages.     

What can pollen grains from the Terracotta Army tell us?

The provenance of more than 2200-year-old terracotta warriors and horses in the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum is still a mystery, even though some researchers have inferred that the terracotta figures were produced near the mausoleum. The sporomorphs (pollen and spores) extracted from terracotta fragments of a warrior and a horse and compared with those obtained from soil samples from the Qin Dynasty layer in Pit No. 2 of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum indicate that the pollen spectrum from the terracotta horse is different from that of the warrior, but similar to the local soil samples. Herbaceous pollen was dominant in the warrior sample, while arboreal pollen predominates in the horse and soil samples. Palynological evidence suggests that the terracotta horses were produced at a locality near the mausoleum, while the warrior came from a site which was further afield.

王若虚著述考

王若虚(1174-1243),字从之,号慵夫,藁城(今河北藁城)人,金承安二年(1197)进士,金亡不仕,晚年自号滹南遗老.是金代后期著名文学理论家、经学家和文献学家,在金元之际学术界独步一时,与元好问堪称金代文化领域之双璧.本文拟对王若虚的著述尤其是他的<滹南遗老集>进行考述.     

和谐社会理论与我国的古代法律思想文化

在中国传统法律思想史上,历代的和谐思想由来已久,我国政府2005年年初提出的社会主义和谐社会的构想是有其深远的思想文化基础的,并非是理论上的凭空创造,而是从中华法律文化思想宝库中采撷出的思想精华并加以理论创新而来。因此,我们要加强对我国历史上关于社会建设理论的研究,按照去伪存真、去粗取精的要求,努力做到古为今用。
