The New Biology and its Impact in Biomedical Strategies Against HIV/AIDS

Abstract. The sequencing of the human genome and the initiation of the structural genomics projects have ushered in a new age of biology that involves multi‐lab, high‐cost projects with broad task‐oriented goals rather than the more conventional hypothesis‐driven approach of the past. The new biology has led to the development of new sets of tools for the scientist to use in the quest to solve mysteries of human disease, biomolecular structure‐function relationships, and other burning biological questions. Nevertheless, the impact of the new biology on the field of AIDS investigation has been minimal, predominantly because many of the tools in the HIV field of study were developed before the full advance of the new biology was felt in the biomedical community. Many of the high‐cost megaprojects that involve large technological advances and are marketed as projects of promise to the biomedical community are not likely to significantly impact the field of HIV/AIDS research and cannot serve as a substitute for direct funding to the HIV/AIDS scientists working for vaccine development, an understanding of mechanisms of disease causation, and new tools for therapeutic intervention.     

和平、发展、合作——儒家文明在世界文明对话中的地位和价值

在经济全球化、科技一体化、互联网普及化的情境下 ,世界的政治、经济、文明、宗教、制度等仍然持续多元化、多极化的趋势。是全球化的多元化 ,或多元化的全球化。人作为“会自我创造的和合存在” ,是创造世界文明的原动力和原载体。儒家文明孕育了中华民族精神的成长 ,担当着建构民族主体精神的重任 ,绵延着民族生命的智慧。儒家文明一言以蔽之 ,是以治平为本 ,以仁为核 ,以和为贵。从文明冲突到文明对话 ,是价值观念、思维方式、观照视角的转换。文明对话可依照和合学的“融突论” ,而不是二元对立的非此即彼论 ,它以承认、接纳“他者”的存在为前提。儒家文明在化解世界文明冲突中 ,以其“己所不欲 ,勿施于人”的和生、和处、和立、和达、和爱原理 ,发挥着重要的、独特的、整体的作用

线索相对强度对再认场合效应的影响

本研究通过变化计算机屏幕呈现的物理特性(前景和背景颜色)控制场合因素,操纵词对的呈现次数(实验一)及双字词的加工水平(实验二)控制项目强度,考察了线索相对强度与再认场合效应的关系。结果发现：(1)项目呈现次数对再认场合效应无显著影响;(2)项目加工水平对再认场合效应有显著影响,深加工项目的激活对场合效应发生了掩蔽。最后,在回顾实验设计的基础上,对上述结果的成因及潜在变量的影响进行了简要探讨。     

学业受挫大学生心理健康情况调查及大学生学业受挫成因与对策研究

目的：了解学业受挫大学生心理健康情况,掌握学业受挫大学生心理异常发生比率,寻找帮助大学生走出学业困境的方法。方法：以408名学业不及格大学生为研究对象,进行Symptom Check—List 90测试,检查学业受挫大学生心理异常发生比率;同时配合以自制的问卷调查表进行问卷调查,了解大学生学业受挫的成因及大学生学业受挫后的心理状况。结果：学业受挫大学生心理异常发生比率较高;不同补考次数学业受挫大学生心理健康状况存在差异;大学生学业受挫归因存在一定误区,学业受挫会给大学生带来种种不良心理反映。结论：学业受挫是导致大学生心理异常的原因,学业受挫给大学生带来的种种不良心理反映又是影响大学生再学习的重要原因,应帮助学业受挫大学生走出学业困境。     

If Not Him, It Would Have Been His Brother

The Arab-Muslim countries have remained pre-modern as opposed to other countries that have been able to find a balance between their local culture and a universal culture. Arab-Muslims have remained tied to their cultural specificity, a fact which, in my opinion, is related to a complex based on the defensiveness of the former colonized. This complex drives them to remain closed to any cultural communication and therefore to any opening capable of allowing the emergence of a sensibility to their rights as human beings, or even the development of a will to bring about a democratic environment in their countries.     

自然事物认知偏好的初步实验研究

本研究从认知心理学角度采用实验方法探索自然科学学习的影响因素。发现：1自然事物的认知偏好中存在内隐学习现象。2．自然事物认知偏好的表现非常复杂：年龄的影响并不显著,经验的影响不可忽视;3．性别差异十分明显,男生比女生的自然事物认知偏好更为肯定更为积极,很可能社会性别角色是造成自然科学学习结果差异的重要原因;4．内隐组学习坦率好奇,倾向于把自然事物看得更熟悉更容易,具有更强的探究兴趣：外显组学生矜持审慎,倾向于把自然事物看得更陌生更难以理解,探究兴趣较弱。因此,科学教育要创设情境让学生潜移默化地学以致用;要帮助学生利用经验并从中获取乐趣、增长兴趣、树立志趣;要鼓励女孩子大胆挑战科学。     

论《伏羲六十四卦方图》与黄泛平原土壤剖面之契合

古易博大精深 ,今易功用深奥。对《伏羲六十四卦方图》用心领悟 ,“极深研几” ,偶与黄泛平原之壤平垂分布之象比拟 ,其相似程度令人嗟叹不已 :六十四卦二进制象数与土壤质地和层次排列关系完全相符 ,其易理幽然 ,其意义非凡。它对于现代西方土壤学研究的启迪作用显示着东方文化的无穷魅力     

Organizing Components into Combinations: How Stage Transition Works

This paper investigates the nature of transition between stages. The Model of Hierarchical Complexity of tasks leads to a quantal notion of stage, and therefore delineates the nature of stage transition. Piaget's dialectical model of stage change was extended and precisely specified. Transition behavior was shown to consist of alternations in previous-stage behavior. As transition proceeded, the alternations increased in rate until the previous stage behaviors were “smashed” together. Once the smashed-together pieces became coordinated, new-stage behavior could be said to have formed. Because stage transition is quantal, individuals can only change performance by whole stage. We reviewed theories of the specific means by which new-stage behavior may be acquired and the emotions and personalities associated with steps in transition. Contemporary challenges in the society increasingly call for transition to postformal and postconventional responses on the part of both individuals and institutions as the examples illustrate.     

Power and the Illusion of Transparency in Negotiations

This study examines how the illusion of transparency in negotiation differs depending on whether one is the powerful or less powerful negotiator. The illusion of transparency is the tendency for individuals to overestimate the extent to which their internal states and intentions are apparent to an outside observer. Thus, this illusion equals the difference between perceived and actual transparency. We predict that less powerful negotiators experience more perceived transparency than do powerful negotiators and that powerful negotiators exhibit greater actual transparency than do less powerful negotiators. The main hypothesis that the illusion of transparency is greater for less powerful negotiators than for powerful negotiators was supported.
