Is ‘Chloe liked Olivia’ a lesbian plot?

Despite Virginia Woolf's lesbian vision of love and friendship between Chloe and Olivia in A Room of One's Own, the literary and critical text often serves to shut lesbians into a closet of prose. Among the debilitating myths used by writers are the ‘Phaon myth’ (that authentic lesbian experience must be terminated by an inauthentic heterosexual rescue), the vampire myth, and the myth of masculinity. The latter in particular has served to divide heterosexual women from their lesbian sisters, so that much feminist literary criticism displays a pervasive heterosexual bias by ignoring or distorting lesbian texts and subtexts. This paper suggests ways in which the word and concept ‘lesbian’ is being reclaimed by lesbian writers and critics. It calls for all women to destroy patriarchal myths about lesbians; reread literary texts for their lesbian subtexts; recover the works of lesbians, particularly lesbians of color; and, finally, proclaim the word ‘lesbian’ forcefully despite the threats posed by a misogynistic academy and society.     

A comparison of different delinquency measures derived from self-report data

The purpose of this research was to explore different ways of using self-report data to derive measures of juvenile delinquent behavior. The subjects were 161 public school children in the Omaha area, and 1,030 public school children and 665 adjudicated delinquents in the metropolitan areas of Baltimore, Indianapolis, and Phoenix. The Omaha youths responded to twenty-eight self-report items two times with an intervening period of three weeks and then rated the items for seriousness. Four measures of delinquency were derived from the data: frequency of activity, diversity of activity, seriousness of activity, and progression into delinquent behavior. The four measures were shown to be highly reliable and strongly intercorrelated; none was shown to be consistently better than the other three. Rated seriousness and reported frequency of behavior were highly negatively correlated, giving support to the use of frequency measures in building delinquency scales. All four scales showed differences within the Omaha sample as a function of sex, age, and birth order; but the differences were not always in the same directions when the four measures were used.     

网络话语权的公共领域特征与话语民主的实现

网络作为公共舆论的重要平台,使得公民的话语权在网络空间得到全新的实现。网络公共领域的话语表达所表现出的匿名性、开放性、互动性等特点,使得网络话语权的行使具有传统媒体无可比拟的优势,成为公民问责和实践话语民主的重要形式。     

中国律师行业管理体制研究

中国加入WTO,对政府转变职能提出了更紧迫的要求。律师业管理也应适应入世要求,根据律师的职业属性和行业协会的特性,参照国际通行的做法,充分发挥律师协会的功能,进行行业自律管理。为此,应转变观念、健全内部机构,完善运行机制和管理体系,进行相应的制度建设。     

跨行政区生态环境协同治理绩效问责模式及实践情境 ——基于国内外典型案例的分析

探索跨行政区生态环境协同治理绩效问责的有效模式,对推动我国跨行政区生态环境的良好治理具有重要意义.制度分析与发展框架(IAD)下的行动情境核心分析要素和目标管理理论,为分析跨行政区生态环境协同治理绩效问责过程提供了新视角.通过应用由制度规则、责任主体、协同执行、结果评估、绩效反馈五个要素构成的分析框架,对国内外典型生态治理案例开展分析,可以归纳国内外跨行政区生态环境协同治理绩效问责的基本模式.研究发现,每一个具体的绩效问责模式都有其特定的问责情境、前提条件和制约因素.因此,在特定问责情境中的跨行政区生态环境协同治理绩效问责具有多元化的路径模式与结果形态,对绩效问责模式的选择不能脱离其特定的情境和场域.     

放线杆菌外膜蛋白酵母双杂交诱饵质粒的构建及自激活与毒性检测

为了筛选胸膜肺炎放线杆菌外膜蛋白在肺泡上皮细胞上的作用受体,应用酵母双杂交技术构建诱饵质粒载体pGBKT7-omp(胸膜肺炎放线杆菌外膜蛋白),从胸膜肺炎放线杆菌提取基因组DNA,用PCR方法获得omp,克隆于pGBKT7载体上,进行酶切鉴定及序列分析,并检测pGBKT7-omp在酵母双杂交系统中的自激活和毒性作用。结果表明,成功构建了诱饵质粒载体pGBKT7-omp,并证明其在酵母双杂交系统中无自激活及毒性作用。表明pGBKT7-omp可应用在酵母双杂交系统中,用于寻找猪肺泡上皮细胞cDNA文库中与omp相互作用的蛋白质。

泛珠三角区域劳务合作对贵州民族地区的意义和作用

2004年7月在广州召开的泛珠三角区域经贸洽谈会上,贵州与其他8省区共同签订了《泛珠三角九省区劳务合作协议》,它标志着泛珠三角区域劳务合作全面启动。这对于提升贵州劳务输出的规模和层次、发挥贵州劳务资源优势具重要意义,它将在促进贵州民族地区经济和社会发展、农村脱贫,区域合作及协调发展中发挥重要作用,并将在加强外出务工人员、尤其是农民工权益保障等方面产生积极的影响。     

结核分枝杆菌pdhA基因的原核表达及其免疫原性分析

以结核分枝杆菌H37Rv菌株的基因组DNA为模板,采用PCR方法扩增出1 100bp的pdhA(pyruvate dehydrogenase E1component alpha subunit)基因,经限制性酶切后,与pET-28a载体连接,转化到大肠杆菌BL21中,重组菌经1mmol/L IPTG诱导表达了pdhA蛋白,并用Ni-His-resin纯化了目的蛋白,经Western-blot分析鉴定了目的蛋白的免疫原性。结果显示,重组质粒的双酶切鉴定和DNA测序均正确;SDS-PAGE和Western-blot分析结果显示,在44ku处获得一目的条带,且具有很好的免疫原性。本研究成功获得了高纯度的重组蛋白pdhA,为深入研究其功能奠定了基础。     

Thoughtfully Reflective Decision Making and the Accumulation of Capital: Bringing Choice Back In

In this paper we relate a particular type of decision making, thoughtfully reflective decision making (TRDM) in adolescence, to successful and unsuccessful life outcomes in young adulthood. Those who are thoughtfully reflective in their decision making are more likely to consider possible alternative routes to goal attainment, weigh the costs and benefits of those alternatives, and critically revisit the decision once made to examine what went well and what went wrong. We also argue that what mediates the effect of TRDM on later life outcomes is the accumulation of capital. Those who use better decision making practices are more likely to recognize the resources provided by and make the necessary investments to accumulate human, social and cultural capital. These notions are theoretically linked to conceptions of criminal offenders as both rational planners and decision makers and as fully human agents. Using data from the Add Health data set, our hypotheses are largely confirmed. Those who are higher in TRDM as adolescents were more likely to have enrolled in or graduated from college, to be in better physical health, are more involved in civic and community affairs, less likely to commit criminal acts, use illegal drugs and be involved in heavy drinking as adults. TRDM is also positively related to the accumulation of human, social and cultural capital. Finally, a substantial part of the effect of TRDM on young adult outcomes was mediated by capital accumulation. The implications of these findings for future theory and research are discussed.
