Where and When to Spank: A Comparison Between U.S. and Japanese College Students

Although physical punishment has been studied for decades, there are gaps in the literature regarding frequently used form, context, and cross cultural differences. A comparison was made using 227 college students in the United States and Japan, who were presented with four scenarios and surveyed regarding attitudes toward physical punishment, perceptions of appropriate discipline methods, and past experience with physical punishment. Japanese and U.S. respondents reported similar personal experience with physical punishment (Japanese 86%, U.S. 91%). However, U.S. respondents reported a higher likelihood of being hit with an object than did Japanese respondents. For U.S. respondents, the bottom and the hand were the top two sites on the body used for physical punishment, whereas the head and the face were the top two places for the Japanese sample. Unlike U.S. respondents, type of child misbehavior was found to have an impact on Japanese respondents’ views on the appropriate discipline method.     

也门日益严重的水资源短缺问题

也门是世界水资源严重缺乏的国家之一,目前,全国每年可再生的水资源总量不超过25亿立方米,其中,15亿立方米存在于地表,另外10亿立方米为地下水。水资源的消耗量至1995年即已达到32亿立方米。而此前世界银行发布的一份报告称,也门年均水资源总量约为21亿立方米,年均消耗量约为28亿立方米,人均水占有量仅为150~160多立方米,远远低于中东和东非国家1250立方米的年人均水占有量。在萨那盆地,尽管其每年开采的水源总量已达到人均224立方米,但仍有约10%的人口年均水占有量仅为42立方米。造成这一局面的主要原因在于也门缺少河流、遍布全国的具有防…

2007年我国经济社会发展的主要任务和实施方法

纵观过去的2006年,宏观调控措施已在世界各国产生积极的效果,国际油价和大宗初级产品价格出现较大幅度的调整,非理性投资和房地产市场的过热现象也都在各国得到抑制和改善。我国2007年经济发展仍将具有一个相对宽松和不断向好的国际环境,高油价和高初级产品价格对我国经济的负面影响会有新减弱,国际贸易保护主义抬头和扩大国内消费需求对我国经济发展的影响会明显增加。为此,我国将切实把科学发展观落到实处,真正从经济发展的“又快又好”迈向“又好又快”。     

Wilton Marion Krogman, Ph.D. (1903-1987): the end of an era

Dr. Wilton Marion Krogman was one of the major founders of physical and forensic anthropology in the United States. His extraordinary career spanned nearly six decades, and he was universally admired and respected for his scholarship, teaching, research, wit, and humanity. While studies based on human skeletal remains have long been used to assist the medicolegal system, the late Dr. Krogman can be credited with uniting these areas into the discipline of forensic anthropology. His "Guide to the Identification of Human Skeletal Material" (1939) in the F.B.I. Law Enforcement Bulletin became the foundation of this discipline; his monumental book The Human Skeleton in Forensic Medicine (updated with the author in 1986) solidified its establishment. The purpose of this paper is to pay tribute to this great man and outline his influence on the development and advancement of forensic anthropology.
