利用多媒体手段培养汉语口语交际能力

多媒体教学手段在对外汉语课堂教学中可以发挥其长处,达到更好的教学效果,特别是在培养外国留学生的汉语口语交际能力方面可以发挥出更大的作用。利用多媒体教学不但可以提高学生的学习训练效果,而且可以保持教师的教学水平。多媒体教学手段并不能取代传统的课堂教学手段,也不是要取消教师在课堂上的作用,但会给目前的教学带来很大的变化。

Shedder status: Exploring means of determination

“Shedder status” or “shedder type” are commonly used terms that categorise an individual based on their ability to deposit “touch” DNA via direct contact with a surface. However, it is not yet clear how best to categorise an individual into a shedder class, or how to allocate a shedder score on a sliding scale. This study considers categorisation of participants into discrete shedder categories based on DNA quantity and profile quality data, the maintenance of their shedder status over an extended period, and explores whether different methods of deposition or collection directly from hands or other body areas are interchangeable and/or more appropriate means of determining an individual’s shedder status.The shedder categorisation of participants was possible from their handprints and remained unchanged over three years. Washing hands had limited impact and shedder categorisation was not readily possible from samples collected directly from hands, other body areas or gloves after wearing gloves for a set duration. Use of consecutive deposits may assist in establishing a participant’s shedder status. As shedder categorisation may be of relevance during activity level assessments further efforts towards the ability to do so are necessary.

现实与尴尬：论羌族“释比”文化的传承与保护

羌族＂释比文化＂已处于濒危状态：释比传承人愈来愈少面临同化,更令人担忧的是信仰的缺失。＂释比文化＂的传承与保护要把＂释比文化＂纳入非物质文化遗产保护范畴内进行抢救保护,处理好羌族＂释比文化＂保护与旅游开发之间的关系,在羌族居住地做好羌语羌文推广工作,积极引导羌族现存宗教仪式中的积极因素与社会和谐共进,也是焕发羌族文化活力、保护和传承本民族文化的重要手段。     

冷战与美国对泰国政策的转变（1947~1950年）

20世纪40年代末50年代初,因冷战的发展和亚洲局势的变化,美国对泰国的政策经历了从勉强接受披汶重新掌权,到与披汶政府进行合作,再到扶持披汶为其冷战盟友的巨大转变。从美泰关系的变化可以发现,意识形态和政治制度在国际关系中的作用是相对有限的,而国际体系和区域格局的变动、以及由此引起的地缘政治的变化对国际关系有着更为重要的影响。     

The Political Economy of Aid and Governance in Cambodia

The impact of massive aid on development and governance has been studied for a decade with mixed results. Using the results of an elite survey on aid and quality of governance based on Kaufmann et al.'s six dimensions (voice and accountability, political stability, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption), this article offers a case-study of Cambodia. The country's challenges in light of high aid dependence and ‘Dutch disease’ in the aid sector are elaborated, and disappointing human development outcomes are examined. Despite more than five billion dollars in aid, infant and child mortality and inequality have worsened. Key informants are overwhelmingly in agreement that, save for political stability, aid has not had a positive impact on governance in Cambodia. The failure on control of corruption shows how hard it is for donors to be tough on a country with extreme poverty. On the basis of what has been accomplished to date, however, aid seems unlikely to be able to deliver large improvements in governance and in many ways may even contribute to its further deterioration.     

External Influence and Challenges of State-building in Nepal

This article deals with the role of external actors in the post-2006 state-building process in Nepal. Two issues have dominated the state-building narrative after 2006: the peace-process and the constitutional process. There has been a strong presence of international agencies. Both issues were later usurped by the external agencies and Nepal loses its upper hand in determining politics, policies, and the law and reverted beyond the 1923 situation. Foreign policy, which should have been used to rescue the country from such a dilemma, could not act in the context of a weak centre. Against this background, this article endeavours to explain the degree of external pressure vis-à-vis the state-building process in Nepal. The central argument of this article is that among many other factors, state-building in Nepal suffers both ‘because of and despite’ its geo-strategic locations and it proposes a proactive foreign policy as the balancing force.
