集权政治与专家治市:近代中国市政独立的艰难旅程——1930年代汉口个案剖析

20世纪20年代末30年代初,旨在推动城市现代化的市政改革运动在汉口兴起.作为市政改革的一项重要内容,专家治市在推动近代中国城市政治民主化、法制化和城市管理科学化方面具有积极作用.专家治市的成功与否,既受制于民国整体的政治环境和城市现代化的总体进程,亦与专家治市中的主体--近代知识分子的身份转变和文化转型有很大关系.由于市政体制受制于国民党"一党专制"的集权体制,加之近代中国没有建立起西方式的公务员体制,而且中国城市早期现代化还处于起步阶段,以及近代知识分子对权力的人格依附,近代中国没有也不可能建立真正的"专家治市"的"良好市政",市政独立也不可能真正实现.     

Death by gunshot: Biocultural implications of trauma at Mission San Luis

Contrary to the popular myth known as the Black Legend, very little evidence of traumatic injury and death of Native Americans at the hands of Spaniards in the southeastern USA has been uncovered in the archaeological record. This paper reports on the circumstances of death of an individual from Mission San Luis de Talimali (AD 1656-1704), located in northern Florida. A determination of biological affinity of the victim is not possible based on currently available skeletal and contextual evidence. Presence of .44 calibre lead shot in the region of the lumbar vertebrae indicates that the individual probably died from a gunshot wound or complications that followed. To our knowledge, this is the only instance of death in this manner known from Spanish Florida. Bioarchaeological evidence indicates that death resulting from the use of firearms was apparently minimal in this region of colonial America, and other factors—including infectious disease, malnutrition, and forced relocation—were of far greater importance in explaining the precipitous decline and depopulation of native groups in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, at least in Spanish Florida.     

“始作俑”新解

历代学对孔子所说的“始作俑,其无后乎”这句话的诠释都与孔子的思想相抵牾,也不合于历史真实。根据对考古材料、古字材料的分析,结合献,我们对该句重新作出解释,认为“俑”之本义当是杀人以殉。     

说何尊的“復……自天”及相关问题

<正>何尊铭自1976年发表以来,经过多家的考释,虽然在某些问题上还存在分歧,但文义似乎已经比较清楚。可是如果对个别被大家认为明白易晓、不难理解的句子进行认真推敲的话,或许还存在一些问题,这些问题影响到某些关键问题以及与此铭相关的其它铭文的理解。本文要着重讨论的这个句子,就是铭首的"复禀武王醴裸自天"。为行文的方便,先把何尊铭以及在讨     

New Methods of Census Record Linking

The Minnesota Population Center (MPC) has released linked datasets through its NAPP and IPUMS projects, making them readily accessible to researchers. Prior to the availability of complete count census microdata from the MPC, researchers applied various forms of record-linking software. This essay describes the techniques used in the MPC's linking program and briefly compares this technique with those used by other researchers. The key feature of the MPC linking method is the construction of cumulative name similarity scores, based on approximately 2.5 billion record comparisons; we also use support vector mechanics to classify potential links. This article explains modifications made for the final linked datasets and includes a discussion of the role of weighting variables when using linked data.
