“中心观”的摒弃与多元化观点的树立——对全球化时期中国史学研究范式的思考

中国史学应转变研究范式以适应全球化时期史学发展趋势。应摒弃任何一种形式的"中心观",树立多元化观点,加强中西历史的双向比较与对视,揭示历史发展的丰富性和多样性。

“中心观”与“中心论”

在既有的各种世界史体系范式中,"中心"是一个引起争议的概念,也是一个容易牵动民族感情的问题.然而,作为一种结构范式,世界史体系又无法回避"中心"概念.当我们运用各种理论资源建构不同范式的世界史体系时,无论是否直接表述,"中心"问题都蕴含其中,并以此支撑起各自的阐释系统.不过,在以往关于世界史体系的讨论中,"中心"的两种含义,即作为表达研究者立场和视角的"中心观"和作为被考察对象结构特征的"中心论"往往被混淆在一起,在这种情况下,讨论的命题往往发生偏移.例如,对"西方中心论"的批评,究竟是在反映研究者立场和视角的意义上,还是在阐释客观历史进程及其结构的意义上?

There was significant difference of therapeutic effect of 4-week treatment between two groups in each clinical center and the combined center. The therapeutic effect of 3-month treatment between two groups in No. 1 and No. 3 hospitals, showed significant difference, the treatment group was better; while that of No. 2 hospital had no obvious difference. The therapeutic effect of 6-month treatment between two groups in each center and the combined center had significant difference, the treatment group was better. Conclusion The therapy of electro acupuncture at QIǖXǖ（丘墟GB40） is effective for migraine.

THEORY AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ICAI COGNITIVE MODEL BASED ON MEANING

Cognitive models must be able to adapt the students learning behaviors dynamically.In our point of view,the processes of learning and understanding are,in nature,the procedure that gains the meaning of the object to be learned.So,ICAI cognitive models should reflect the meaning structure of the domain knowledge in students mind.According to this view,we developed the meaning theory of Ludwig Wittgenstein,and proposed the concept of meaning conjoinism.On the basis of the meaning conjoinism we proposed a meaning oriented ICAI cognitive model and its corresponding teaching tactics.Furthermore,we developed an ICAI system named Thinking and the efficiency of our proposal has been demonstrated.

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS AND FRACTAL MODELING ON THE MOSAIC STRUCTURE OF LANDSCAPE IN THE CENTRAL AREA OF SHANGHAI METROPOLIS

The mosaic structure of landscape of the central area of Shanghai Metropolis is studied by quantitative methods of landscape ecology based on Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) in this paper. Firstly, landscapes are classified into eight categories: residential quarter, industrial quarter, road, other urban landscape, farmland, village and small town, on-building area, river and other water bodies (such as lake, etc.). Secondly, a GIS is designed and set up based on the remote sensing data and field investigation, and a digital map of landscape mosaic is made. Then the indexes of diversity, dominance, fragmentation and isolation, and fractal dimension of each type of landscape in different periods are calculated by using spatial analysis method of GIS. With reference to the calculated results, a series of relative issues are discussed.

Clinical Characterization and Frequency of Observation of Hereditary Retinal Diseases： Multicentric Study in Panama in 2012-2013

Retinal dystrophies are genetically determined diseases, implying the loss of function of the retina with a wide phenotypic and genotypic variability. There are very few phenotypic, genotypic and epidemiological data on retinal dystrophies in Latin America. The Objective of this study is to describe the epidemioiogical and clinical characteristics of hereditary retinal and choroidal diseases, in retina practices in Panama. A descriptive study, from 2012 to 2013, was performed in the main retina practices in Panama. All detected patients were given a free appointment to gather their phenotypic characteristics and pedigrees. An incidence of five new cases per year, and an accumulated incidence of 5.35 patients per I0,000 was calculated for the public hospitals. A frequency of 2.7 cases per 1,000 patients was observed in the main retina practices, where 69% had rod-cone dystrophies, 14.3% cone-rod dystrophies, 7.1% Stargardt disease, 4.8% Stargardt-like macular dystrophy and two patients presented other dystrophies. Blindness was the main family antecedent （45.2%）. Retinal pigment was present in 59% and strabismus in 21.4% of the patients. Rod-cone and cone-rod dystrophies had similar geographic distribution and the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern was the most frequently observed. This study gives the first phenotypic data of retinal dystrophies in Panama to orient clinicians for a better diagnosis and phenotyping-genotyping correlation for retinal dystrophies in Central America.

Interpretation of Symbolism in Willa.Cather novel ＂A Lost Lady＂

＂ A Lost Lady＂ is at beginning of the 20th century, a important work of creation of a famous American writer Willa Cather, through a story that a woman in a social swirl in old age gradually fall and sink, it reflects the commercialization of human society and other traditional values and lifestyle impact and erosion, and the desire of mankind for a better civilization. Works use artistic symbolism to play a certain role in the development of the plot, the characters change shape and opposition figures to portray the psychological state.

Narrative Environmental Ethics, Nature Writing, and Ecological Science as Tradition： Towards a Sponsoring Ground of Concern

Over the last 30 years, environmental philosophers and ecological researchers have turned their attention to the possibilities of narratives： the stories people tell about their lives in conjunction with the human and non-human agents they live with. An interest in narrative environmental ethics reflects a re-evaluation of canonical ecophilosophical texts. Works such as Paul W. Taylor＇s Respect for Nature suggest an essentialist view of environmental ethics in which predetermined principles are imposed on places and situations. On the other hand, Aldo Leopold＇s A Sand County Almanac combines first-person prose with science-based explanations of the ＂biotic pyramid＂ towards the development of a land ethic. Examples, such as Leopold＇s, of narrative ethics are thought to offer relational, place-based, non-authoritative, and non-anthropocentric models. This article examines three critical components of environmental narratives： self, context, and tradition. In order for environmental narratives to advance ecological ethics, they must be accompanied by the tradition of natural science （geology, ecology, and evolution） to provide the ＂sponsoring ground＂ for ethical concern and action. The role of natural science as a tradition--and indeed one of many--in narrative ethics provides the basis for ecological selfhood in the context of place. These assertions will be supported by an analysis of the environmental narratives of Karen Warren and Jim Cheney. However, in the temporally expansive and ecologically conscious poetic narratives of John Kinsella we find an environmental ethics deeply rooted in the material realities of place.

The Suffering of the Innocent： Wartime Violence and the Common People The Case of the Great Siege of Malta of 1565

War is arguably the most extreme scenario for the exertion of violence. All warring parties suffer in one way or another but those who suffer most are usually those who least deserve it--the common folk. The paper will take as a case study one of the epic Mediterranean battles in the ongoing Christian versus Muslim conflict of the Early Modem Age. Happening in 1565, though micro in scale, the four-month engagement known as the Great Siege of Malta which was fought between the Ottoman Turkish troops and their Barbary Coast partners on the one side and the Hospitallers of the Order of St. John and their European and Maltese allies on the other side, was macro in its significance. This fierce clash left its destructive mark not only on the warring adversaries but the more so on the Maltese inhabitants who found themselves immersed in a war which was not strictly theirs but of which they were forced to endure the hardships, participate in the ongoing combat, and face the daily extreme psychological pressure and physical cruelty which are generally meted out to the defenceless and the most vulnerable in the war zone. No brutality was spared and extreme violence was the order of the day.

Simulation of the stratospheric gravity waves generated by the Typhoon Matsa in 2005

The generation of stratospheric gravity waves （GWs） due to typhoon is simulated by using a meso-scale model （WRF） with a typhoon case, the Matsa in 2005. An 8-day model run that covers the major stages of the Matsa＇s development reproduces the key features of the typhoon. For example, good agreements in the typhoon＇s track, the intensity, and the spiral clouds, as well as mean state of stratosphere, are seen between the simulation results and the observation. Simulation results clearly show that with typhoon propagates northwestward, pronounced stratospheric GWs are generated continuously in the vicinity of Matsa. The GWs exhibit the typical curve-like wave fronts away from the Typhoon Matsa, and propagate preferentially in the up- stream of the background winds. These characteristics reflect that the stratospheric GWs are closely associated with the ty- phoon, and thus the GWs are referred to as Tropical Cyclone related Gravity Waves （TC-GWs）. The results also show that these waves should have a rather large horizontal scale so that the outmost wave fronts can be seen at the distance of ~ 1000 km to the typhoon center in the horizontal plane of 20 kin. This is consistent with the phenomenon of stratospheric TC-GWs with 1000 km horizontal scale disclosed by the previous observational analysis results.

“Chinese Values” and Innovation in Philosophy and Social Sciences in Present Day China

＂Chinese values＂ is a concept defined in relation to ＂American values,＂ ＂Asian values＂ and the ＂Washington Consensus.＂ It is a product of the long-term development and evolution of Chinese society＇s value system and constitutes the conceptual representation and theoretical enhancement of the complexity of current Chinese values. We analyze the historical formation, evolutionary logic, pluralistic framework, underlying reasons, and inner grounds of present day China＇s complex values in a multi-dimensional context that involves history and the present as well as China and the world, looking at the synchronous coexistence in modern China of diachronic conflicts that unfolded over several hundred years in the course of Western modernization. Our contention is that present day China＇s complex value reality and value concepts should be approached by using complex ideas and techniques. In the dynamic process of integrating manifold clues and multiple changes, we will vigorously safeguard ＂Chinese interests,＂ reasonably fulfill ＂China＇s responsibilities,＂ consciously seek a ＂Chinese path,＂ soberly respond to ＂expectations of China,＂ consciously break down ＂China＇s problems＂ and appropriately demonstrate ＂China＇s confidence,＂ in order to better perform the positive function of philosophy and social sciences in interpreting and guiding the development of society.
