“Forward to David the Builder!” Georgia's (re)turn to language-centered nationalism

After the Rose Revolution, President Saakashvili tried to move away from the exclusionary nationalism of the past, which had poisoned relations between Georgians and their Armenian and Azerbaijani compatriots. His government instead sought to foster an inclusionary nationalism, wherein belonging was contingent upon speaking the state language and all Georgian speakers, irrespective of origin, were to be equals. This article examines this nation-building project from a top-down and bottom-up lens. I first argue that state officials took rigorous steps to signal that Georgian-speaking minorities were part of the national fabric, but failed to abolish religious and historical barriers to their inclusion. I next utilize a large-scale, matched-guise experiment (n?=?792) to explore if adolescent Georgians ostracize Georgian-speaking minorities or embrace them as their peers. I find that the upcoming generation of Georgians harbor attitudes in line with Saakashvili's language-centered nationalism, and that current Georgian nationalism therefore is more inclusionary than previous research, or Georgia's tumultuous past, would lead us to believe.     

Shaping Political Preferences: Information Effects in Political-Administrative Systems

Information is at the heart of politics. However, since information is always sent by someone who is more or less powerful, it is difficult to disentangle the effect of information from the power of the sender. Drawing on a standard model of attitude formation, we argue that presenting information can affect preferences of politicians regardless of the power of the sender. We test this proposition in a survey experiment with 1205 Danish local politicians in which the experimental groups were presented with varying levels of cost information but where sender remained constant. The experiment shows that even in a setting where the information is not disclosed by a powerful sender, information may have a stronger impact on political preferences than other well-known determinants such as committee and party affiliation. Our findings speak to learning theories, knowledge perspectives and the literature on the determinants of politicians’ preferences.     

穴位埋线疗法治疗支气管哮喘的系统评价

目的 评价穴位埋线疗法治疗哮喘的临床疗效。方法 根据Cochrane系统评价方法,全面收集穴位埋线治疗哮喘的随机对照试验,运用RevMan 5.20版进行Meta分析。结果 共纳入15篇研究,纳入病例1 579例。Meta分析显示：穴位埋线与西药、针刺比较在总有效率、第一秒用力呼气量、喘息等方面可能具有优势。结论 现有证据显示穴位埋线治疗哮喘与其他疗法比较在疗效、改善预后方面有一定优势,但还需要高质量的随机对照试验进一步证实。     

"大学英语语篇阅读教学实验"研究报告

传统阅读教学较多关注单词、句子、语法等微观单位的分析、理解,未能从语篇的高度分析、理解文章,影响了学生阅读能力的培养和提高.语篇阅读教学着眼于语篇,高屋建瓴地引导学生学会把握单词之间、句子之间、段落之间的关联,从而实现对文章结构及含义的深刻理解.     

Improving evaluation of anti-crime programs: Summary of a National Research Council report★

This article summarizes a report of the National Research Council: Improving Evaluation of Anti-crime Programs. It is based on a workshop, held in September 2003, in which participants presented and discussed examples of evaluation-related studies that represent the methods and challenges associated with research at three levels: interventions directed toward individuals; interventions in neighborhoods, schools, prisons, or communities; and interventions at a broad policy level. The article, and the report on which it is based, is organized around five questions that require thoughtful analysis in the development of any evaluation plan: What questions should the evaluation address? When is it appropriate to conduct an impact evaluation? How should an impact evaluation be designed? How should the evaluation be implemented? What organizational infrastructure and procedures support high quality evaluation? The authors highlight major considerations in developing and implementing evaluation plans for criminal justice programs and make recommendations for improvement of government funded evaluation studies.

非典洗礼下的社会公德防线建设

目前，关于社会公德建设的论述大都限于理论层面的思考，缺少坚实的实证基础，难以找到公德建设的真正基点和合理路径。然而，作为一场自然灾害的非典疫情却不折不扣地给中国人提供了一场千载难逢的社会公德实验，它既向我们指出了社会公德建设的真正基点，又指出了社会公德建设的合理路径。而且，声势浩大的全民抗非典运动．更为社会公德防线的稳固提供了直接的支持。     

论教师在现场勘查模拟实验中的作用

现场勘查模拟实验是培养学员勘查取证能力和分析判断案情能力的最有效措施,而教师是实验教学成败与否的关键所在。要搞好现场勘查实验教学,教师首先应明确实验教学的主要目的在于培养学员的思维能力,其次要在科学的教学体系下,做好实验前的准备工作,实验过程中充分运用多种教学方法并针对不同学员的心理特点做好指导工作,实验后认真批改实验报告,从而确保现场勘查实验教学的质量。     

Identifying the effect of mobilization on voter turnout through a natural experiment

Although numerous get-out-the-vote field experiments have identified the effects of particular mobilization tactics (e.g., canvassing, phone calls, direct mails) on voter turnout, we do not yet have a full understanding of the causal effect of overall mobilization. We study this by leveraging a natural experiment in Japan, in which the timing of a municipal election is as-if randomly assigned. The results show that almost concurrently held municipal elections boost these municipalities’ voter turnout in prefectural elections by one to two percentage points. We argue that some unique settings in Japan allow us not only to mitigate omitted variable bias but also to attribute the estimated effect only to mobilization, rather than the effects of cost sharing and psychological stimulus.     

潜在手印残留物中的油脂成分研究

潜在手印在现场上出现的频率较高,科学、合理地显现和提取现场手印对于认定犯罪具有重要意义。为了提高现场手印的提取率和利用率,有必要分析潜在手印残留物中油脂成分的变化(如鲨烯、十四酸、棕榈酸、十八酸、棕榈油酸、油酸成分的出现率及其含量随时间的变化等),为研究针对潜在手印油脂成分的专一性显现方法及分析潜在手印的物质成分、新旧程度等提供理论支持,进而提高现场潜在手印的提取率和显现率。
