临床医学专业人文精神教育误区探析

我国临床医学专业人文精神教育一直存在误区, 误将医学人文知识的多少等同于医学人文精神的高低;重视医学科学教育, 忽视医学人文教育;误将人文精神教育、思想政治教育、文化素质教育等同;过分夸大医学人文与医学科学的对立, 错误定义二者的关系;浮夸的技巧教育掩盖了医学人文教育的实质;传统的封闭式教学扼杀了医学人文精神教育的深入发展。只有正确认知医学人文精神教育的误区才能更好地做好医学人文精神教育, 为医学人文精神教育的发展做出贡献。     

The Suicidal Narrative and Its Relationship to the Suicide Crisis Syndrome and Recent Suicidal Behavior

In this study, we introduce the construct of the suicidal narrative, a hypothetical personal narrative linked to imminent suicide, and explore its relationship to near‐term suicidal risk and the suicide crisis syndrome (SCS). Psychiatric outpatients (N = 289) were administered the Columbia Suicide‐Severity Rating Scale (C‐SSRS), Suicide Crisis Inventory (SCI), and Suicide Narrative Inventory (SNI), a novel instrument combining the documented risk factors of Thwarted Belongingness, Perceived Burdensomeness, Humiliation, Social Defeat, Goal Disengagement, and Goal Reengagement. Dimensional measures of past month, lifetime, and past suicidal phenomena, incorporating ideation and behavior, were calculated from the C‐SSRS. Structural equation modeling was used to explore the interaction among variables. Factor analysis of the SNI yielded two orthogonal factors, termed Interpersonal and Goal Orientation. The former factor was comprised of Perceived Burdensomeness, Social Defeat, Humiliation, and Thwarted Belongingness, the latter of Goal Disengagement and Goal Reengagement. The Interpersonal factor correlated with both SCS severity and suicidal phenomena in each time frame and the Goal Orientation factor with no other variable. As hypothesized, the proposed model was significant for the past month only. Our findings support the construct of the suicidal narrative and its function as a near‐term suicidal risk factor.     

全球地域化:基督宗教在华传播史的一种诠释——对章开沅"传播与植根"观念的解读

章开沅自20世纪80年代中期涉足中国基督宗教史研究领域.他通过深入考察基督宗教在中国传播的历史进程,精辟阐释中西文化的巨大差异,透彻解析中外基督徒有识之士的经典著述,站在跨文化对话的高度,对中国基督宗教史予以"全球地域化"解读.章开沅认为,只有构筑中国本土化的世界观与价值观,才是基督宗教在华"传播与植根"的必由之路.     

Stopping rules for multi-category computerized classification testing

Computerized classification testing (CCT) aims to classify persons into one of two or more possible categories to make decisions such as mastery/non-mastery or meet most/meet all/exceed. A defining feature of CCT is its stopping criterion: the test terminates when there is enough confidence to make a decision. There is abundant research on CCT with a single cut-off, and two common stopping criteria are the sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) statistic and the generalized likelihood ratio statistic (GLR). However, there is a relative scarcity of research extending the SPRT to the multi-hypothesis case for when there is more than one cut-off. In this paper, we propose a new multi-category GLR (mGLR) statistic as well as a stochastically curtailed version of the CCT with three or more categories. A simulation study was conducted to show that the mGLR statistic outperformed the existing stopping rules by generating shorter average test length without sacrificing classification accuracy. Results also revealed that the stochastically curtailed mGLR successfully increased test efficiency in certain testing conditions.
