《爱的牺牲》中欧·亨利的爱情观

O. Henry is a realist and humanitarian writer. In his life, he wrote more than 300 short stories and a full-length novel. Sacrifice of Love is a typical O Henry＇s novel, which was formed in American society that changed from the rapid development ofcapitalism to the era of imperialism. During this period, the rotten social system, ruthless competition and insatiable exploitation jugulatcd and contorted human＇s emotions. In such a society, O. Henry, on the one hand, advocated and paid a tribute to beautiful love. on the other hand, he felt helpless and hateful to the cruel social and hard living conditions. Love itself is holy and sweet, but due to the decay of the social system, love was full of bitterness. This paper focuses on analyzing O. Henry＇s views of love, the reasons of formation and the expression skills. The subject of the Sacrifice of Love is： love itselfis sweet and holy, but in the capitalist society, it is destined to be a tragedy.

象山海洋渔文化音乐形态及其民俗表征

象山渔文化主要音乐形态包括渔民号子、渔歌、渔灯、渔鼓、渔舞(戏)、《细十番》等。它是象山渔民在长期生产劳动实践中创造的一种独特的文化现象。民俗音乐依存于具体的民俗事象之中。民俗通常被称之为"民间文化",指一个民族或一个社会群体在长期的生产实践和社会生活中逐渐形成并世代相传、较为稳定的文化事象,亦可将其概括为民间流行的风尚、习俗。象山渔文化音乐形态正是其长期渔猎生产实践和社会生活具体民俗事象的生动反映。其民俗表征主要体现在文化符号的"语境"观;海洋渔猎的"生活"观;民俗事象的"文化表演"观三个方面。对象山渔俗文化音乐形态的挖掘、整理和研究,其主要目的首先是为建立活态传承模式的可行性考察;其次是保存渔俗文化记忆;再次是延续其价值取向和开放、包容的精神向度。当今民俗文化逐渐由单一性向多样性文化特色、地域特色转变,开放性和兼容性逐渐成为其文化软实力建设的重要内容。象山渔文化音乐活动的多样性、丰富性及开放姿态,形成了象山渔俗文化地域特色和风格特色,使之成为具有不可替代的独特价值。

Comparative Study on Floral Organs and Pollen Characteristics of Different Varieties of Sorrel

The floral organ morphology,pollen morphology,quantity,and viability of Rumex,Rumex hanus F1,Rumex hanus 1,and Rumex hanus 2 were compared and analyzed.The results showed that the longitudinal diameter of petals was not significantly different among different varieties of sorrel,and the transverse diameter and corolla diameter showed differences to varying degrees.They all had six stamens and three stigmas.The pollen shape of the four varieties was prolate,and the polar view was trilobated and round.They all had three germinal furrows,and the outer wall of the pollen was decorated with small cavities and spiny patterns,with warty protrusions.The equatorial axis length of pollen of different varieties of sorrel was significantly different(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in pollen amount among different varieties.There were six anthers in a single flower,featuring anther dehiscence.The pollen viability of Rumex hanus 1 was significantly lower than that of the other three varieties(P<0.05).Therefore,through the analysis of the floral organs and morphological characteristics of anthers of sorrel,the varieties of sorrel can be effectively distinguished and identified.

“新课改”:源于考试的阻力与应有的突破

新一轮基础教育课程改革(简称“新课改”)自2001年9月在全国38个地区开展实验以来,逐渐显示出了强大的生命活力和比较乐观的前景。同建国以来其他7次课程改革相比较,此次课程改革的声势、力度最大,涉及面最广,任务更为艰巨和复杂,它触及到了许多历次课程改革遗留下来的深层次问题,尤其是社会转型时期的教育观念、制度、机制、利益等方面的问题,这些问题在新的课程改革实验中表现为各式各样的阻力。关注、研究这些阻力及其产生的根源,提出化解、突破这些阻力的某些思路和策略,对于推进、深化新一轮课程改革,具有重要的现实意义。为此,我校教育学院课程与教学论专业的部分学者分别从考试制度、学校、教师、家长、利益分析等不同的切入点探讨了这个问题。希望借此引起各界对这一问题的广泛关注和深入讨论。

“生活之艺术”观与现代中国理想文明的整体建构

中国新思想家在1920年代中后期积极倡导“生活之艺术”观,尝试为中国的新生建造整体的理想道德与文明体系,这是1920年代的重大思想事件。“生活之艺术”观既是一种理论模式,包含实证科学时代的世界解释系统、“人学”解释系统与文明史观,同时也是一种通过文明批判逐步建造道德与文明体系的实践模式。它由蔼理斯创建,经过“中国化”的理论改造后,成为根植中国实际、解决“中国问题”的新“认识性装置”。周作人等新思想家立足“生活之艺术”的理论系统,针对中国各类具体伦理事象作出文明批判实践,力求逐步推进道德与文明的总体性建构,但国民革命时期加速败坏的社会道德却令周作人等新思想家丧失了建造新道德与新文明的信心。

Notes on Two Marine Ciliates from the Yellow Sea,China:Placus salinus and Strombidium apolatum(Protozoa,Ciliophora)

The living morphology and infraciliature of two rare marine ciliates, Placussalinus Dietz, 1964 and Strombidium apolatum Wilbert and Song, 2005, collected from the coastalwaters near Qingdao, China, were investigated by in vivo observation and protargol impregnationtechnique. The improved diagnosis for Placus salinus is as follows: medium-sized marine Placus, invivo (50-60) μm X (30-40) μm; cell elliptical to barrel-shaped; 28-31 somatic kineties; singlemacronucleus usually ellipsoid and one micronucleus located in the indention of the macronucleus;one contractile vacuole posteriorly positioned. Strombidium apolatum is characterized by: marinestrombidium (40-60) μm X (30-45) μm in vivo, cordiform in shape with somewhat pointed posteriorend and conspicuous apical protrusion; extrusomes prominent, about 15 μm in length and evenlyarranged along the circle kinety; about 16 collar and 5-6 buccal membranelles; one elongatemacronucleus and one micronucleus; circle and ventral kineties consisting of about 53 and 45dikinetids respectively.

Leibniz＇s Conception of Space： The Space of Life and the Holographic Universe

The paper provides an interpretation of Leibniz＇s account of space that extends beyond the predominant interpretations in terms of the relativity of space, and the latter is mainly understood through the differential perspective of each monad＇s extrinsic denominators. This is attained by a thorough explication of the principle of indiscernibles, the abolition of the principle of locality, the advanced conception ofentelecheia in late Leibniz, and the character of the perception of each monad, which allow to discover in Leibniz＇s idea of space the notion of the hologram, and the holographic interconnectedness of things in the Universe.

Meeting with the Depicted Other

The main aim of this article is to describe the intersubjective relationship between the observer and the subject depicted in a work of art. More precisely, I am interested in the observer＇s imagination as it is manifested in this relationship. I argue that every act of empathy involves the imagination, but the act of imagination is never understood as an act of empathy. This article will take a new approach towards the perception of a work of art and challenges the traditional notion of empathy as ＂looking into,＂ ＂looking in,＂ or ＂seeing-in.＂ I describe the experience of empathy as a lived experience, where I understand it as a type of intentional act that is distinct from imagination; meanwhile, I show that the imagination plays a role in the empathetic experience of the work of art. How？ I understand this situation as one that brings the observer into a new reality, an intersubjective mode of being where she finds a better understanding of her own （as an observer） inner world. I wish to argue that empathy gives a new dimension to experience, where being ＂here＂ becomes being ＂there.＂ Empathy is in fact a special form of meeting the Other. In the case of a work of art, we do not meet the Other as a person who lives their daily life like everyone else; instead we have an independent empathetic experience of the world, taking place within the work of art, in relation to the depicted subject. The nature of empathy is that it enables the observer to enter the deepest intimacy of the work of art and dwell inside it. This depends solely on the observer on how open they are to this world and how much it coincides with the observer＇s will, as she always retains limitless freedom when interpreting a work of art.

Love and Persuasion： Strategies Essential to Philosophy as a Way of Life

In this paper, I intend to argue that a conception of philosophy as a way of life needs two elements： persuasion and love. Faced a false conception of philosophy very specialized, professional, and modem that has condemned to oblivion philosophy itself, we propose a therapeutic conception （of philosophy） as a way of life, a philosophy that is not reduced to a conceptual content, but that is related to the way of life of the philosopher.

Nature of Valuational Consciousness in Good Life

I make an attempt in the paper to argue in favor of the person-centered view of good life, where becoming a good person involves seeking to qualitatively transform oneself into a worthy human being. I maintain that becoming fully a person and respecting others as persons are achievements that are not assured for all of us. Thus, for the purpose I prepare the ground for an account of good life that rests on valuational consciousness. I propose that one may ascribe valuational consciousness to a person who is a value-sensitive rational being striving to attain a kind of inner transparency. Evidently, to say that a person has valuational consciousness is to stress the values, which are built into personal consciousness. The life of a person, whether that of truth, courage, nobility, justice, kindness, is a life marked by ego transcending personal consciousness that reaches out to humanity at large. And such a repository of values enables a human being to attain the ideal of good life. The ideal of good life, I contend, consists of attaining the higher order posture of selflessness--a posture of inner transparency. It is to shake off the egocentric partiality that characterizes our usual attitudinal stance towards one another.

Unjust Decision Making Resulting in Marginalization of the Powerless Prostitution Community in Silir-Semanggi of Solo

The city government of Solo has made a decision that street vendors operating in the city＇s Revolution Monument in Banjarsari Square for years must be relocated to the new built traditional market, called Pasar Notoharjo. This study utilized ethnographic methods, a combination of methods including observation, in-depth interview, focus group and the unobtrusive method including collecting written information. The study showed that the decision of Solo city government which tended to privilege street vendors＇ interests resulted in the life chance of prostitution was deteriorated and marginalized. The city government has accommodated street vendors＇ demand to remove ,the organized prostitution community operating in Silir-Semanggi of Solo since 1960s as one of requirements for their relocation to this area, where the new built traditional market with more than one thousand kiosks was provided for street vendors. The procuresses＇ demand to obtain their rights of the land they occupied for more than 20 years on behalf of their legal ownership failed due to administrative, bureaucratic and legal obstacles. Prostitutes were inhumanly chased away by the city government apparatuses in collaboration with the police from the site of operation in 2006 and it resulted that the social and economic lives of procuresses and prostitutes got worse since their prostitution activities in this location were totally forbidden and unfinished. Both procuresses and prostitutes were marginalized because they did not have links to the powerful stakeholder who were able to protect their rights. Their health was in danger because the city government＇s concern to their activities was limited in particularly since 1998 when the location was formally closed by Solo mayor of the new order.

Biopolitics, Life, and Body... Considerations from Latin American Point of View

We intend to get a close look at Foucault＇s work on biopolitics with the aim of contrasting some of its aspects with the developments linked to the emancipatory and liberating potential of the notion of life （living corporeality） within the framework of Enrique Dussel＇s Latin American Political Philosophy. We are interested in these theoretical approaches （Foucault＇s biopolitics and Dussel＇s Liberation Politics） given the political implications and prominence they grant to the notions of body and life in contemporary societies. The works we are interested in to contrast present different standpoints： In the first one, life is related to the exercise of political power, whereas in the second one its approach concentrates on political emancipation processes. We believe, however, that it is possible to find convergence points between them that allow us to explain, to a certain extent, the importance of the notion of life in contemporary societies. For this purpose, we will carry out an analysis of the notion of ＂counter behaviors,＂ a concept that Foucault briefly develops to explain how life has not been thoroughly integrated to technologies that dominate or run it but instead escape them ceaselessly.

Leaming to Be a Tea Art Practitioner： An Anthropologist＇s Self-Reflection

Becoming a tea art practitioner, or charen （茶人）, involves cultivation of body and mind. This paper attempts to document the long-term process of bodily and mindful cultivation from an anthropological, participant-observation, and self-reflective point of view. I will describe my experiences from entering the world of Taiwan Residents tea art through learning the great variety of teas and the techniques for making them, designing my own tea sets, and performing in tea gatherings. This learning process has gone well beyond what is required of a researcher, or a good observer, because it has not only allowed me to understand, interpret, and analyze the aesthetics and ritual of Taiwan Residents tea art but it has also required that I ＂designs＂ or be creative in presenting Taiwan Residents tea art to my own cultural members. This substantially changes my status from the objective observer my profession requires, to a dedicated performer and even a designer/creator of my own culture. My self-reflexivity in this process points to not only methodological issues but also theoretical ones, including recent academic interest in materiality, cultural performance, lifestyle, bodily discipline, and the senses. Through self-reflection, I intends to reveal connections among them.

John Dewey on the Reflective Moral Life： Renewing His Lessons for Moral Education Today

Moral education as practiced in schools today roughly falls into two kinds, either taught as an independent subject or practiced as a form of school-wide social learning. Dewey＇s criticism of rigid moral training in traditional schools gives credence to the latter trend. For instance, in 2000 Taiwan＇s Ministry of Education decided to eliminate moral education as a required subject from the national school curriculum and suggested that all schools and teachers should infuse morality into the school culture as a whole. More than a decade has passed, and many people question whether schools have been infused with morality. Some even suggest that not teaching morality in schools has led to an eroding of moral standards in society at large. In light of this controversy, in this paper, I take a close look at Dewey＇s conception of the nature of morality, and in particular, his distinction between reflective and customary morality. Drawing on Dewey＇s own moral struggles in life to illustrate his major contentions, I explore what Dewey means by moral reflection, dramatic rehearsal, and growth. Finally, I argue for the importance of committed moral values as the foundation for realizing Dewey＇s ideal of reflective intelligence. Overall, I aim to unpack the underlying assumptions in Dewey＇s ideas in order to renew his lessons for moral education today.

Clinical observation of pemetrexed on advanced non-small-cell lung cancer

Objective： The aim of our study was to observe the efficacy and toxicity of 50 cases of advanced non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） patients treated by pemetrexed. Methods： Fifty patients, including 29 females and 21 males, with a median age 62 years （35–82 years）, 13 of whom were treated with pemetrexed only and the left 37 cases were treated with pemetrexed combined with platinum in the Department of Oncology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from June 2006 to March 2009. Single agent regimen： patients received pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 on day 1 with every 21 days. Combination regimen： patients received pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 on day 1 and carboplatin 300 mg/m2 on day 1 or cisplatin 35 mg/m2 on day 1 to day 3 or nedaplatin 80 mg/m2 on day 1 by intravenous infusion with 21 days as one cycle. RECIST 1.0 standard was used to evaluate the clinical efficiency, and the WHO toxicity standard was used to evaluate toxic reaction, and the QOL was used to evaluate the quality of life. Results： All patients were given 162 cycles （at least 2 cycles, at most 6 cycles） and the response rate of all the patients were evaluated. There were 2 complete remission （CR）, 7 partial remission （PR）, 22 stable disease （SD） and 19 progressive disease （PD） in the group, the overall response rate was （RR） was 18.0% and disease control rate （DCR） 62.0%. The quality of life improvement rate reaches 58.0%. The major toxic reaction included neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, hypemia, nausea, and vomiting. Most of the severity of these effects was grade I–II and well tolerated. Conclusion： Chemotherapy with pemetrexed or pemetrexed combined with platinum in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer is effective, safe and well-tolerable, which can improve quality of life of the patient.

Pyrolytic characteristics and kinetics of the marine green tide macroalgae, Enteromorpha prolifera

The marine macroalgae Enteromorpha prolifera was one of the main algal genera that occurred in the widespread green tides in Qingdao, China, during the summers of 2007, 2008 and 2010. It is thus a plentiful source of biomass and could be used as a biofuel. In this study, the pyrolytic characteristics and kinetics of E. prolifera were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) method. Cornstalk and sawdust were used as comparisons. Pyrolytic characteristics were studied using TG-DTG (thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry) curves. Three stages in the pyrolytic process were determined: dehydration, dramatic weight loss and slow weight loss. E. prolifera was pyrolyzed at a lower initial temperature than the two terrestrial biomass forms. The apparent activation energy values for the three types of biomass were calculated and the mechanism functions were determined using 16 different mechanism functions, frequently used in thermal kinetics analysis. Activation energy values varied with mechanism function and the range of activation energy values for E. prolifera, cornstalk, and sawdust were 25-50 kJ/mol, 60-90 kJ/mol and 120-155 kJ/mol, respectively. This indicates that E. prolifera has low thermal stability for pyrolysis and good combustion characteristics.

Brand Marketing in an era of big data

In the digital age, people＇ s lifestyles and ways of thinking are in a series of changes, this change also makes it a big shift in consumer attitudes. It gives consumers a broader perspective, while also improving the self-consciousness of consumers. These effects will no longer fully believe in traditional consumer marketing ＂bombing＂ the dissemination and indoctrination, they are more inclined to be questioned brands and products, and they can express their views on the basis that affects other people. In this era of environment, if businesses and vendors for their view is indifferent attitude, they will lose a lot of attention to the crowd, and also it makes the influence of the traditional marketing model spread greatly reduced.

What Kind of Security Concept Does Our World Need?

While the threat of war has decreased, there have appeared intricate security issues that affect all aspects of human life, breaking through various defenses and threatening the well being of all actors in the contemporary world, including nations, groups and individuals. This risky situation calls for a new security concept, one that transcends traditional state centrism, national supremacy and coercion. The new security concept, which should assimilate the general theory of grand strategy,focuses on a vision that spans time and space, valuing humankind as it exists as one of the dynamic factors of nature and society. The essentials of the new security concept are to recognize balanced development as the substance of security and to govern national strength and the application of means and tactics. It aims at realizing comprehensive security across various social fields within states, to achieve mutual security among national, international and individual actors, as well as harmony between man and nature, continuous security leading to lasting and universal peace in the future.

Teenage Pregnancy in the Life and Thought of the Traditional Akan： Moral Perspectives

In the past, teenage pregnancy was very rare among the traditional Akan people, currently, however, it has reached an alarming stage. The traditional rites that were effective in instituting measures that ensured chastity among the Akan teenagers are now replaced by foreign rites that seem to be less effective. This paper examines teenage pregnancy and its morality among the traditional Akan of Ghana. The paper discovers that the morality of teenage pregnancy among the traditional Akan depends on the circumstances under which the pregnancy occurs. The following among others are identified as the major factors responsible for the upsurge of teenage pregnancy among the Akan： the breakdown of the extended family system and social cohesion; the influx of foreign cultural and religious practices coupled with the wrong mentality that indigenous African cultural practices are uncivil. The paper posits that the bragor9 and kyiribra rites are important traditional tools which can be refined and used together with other modern methods to remedy the upsurge of teenage pregnancy and restore the moral sanity that existed among the Akan.
