细胞生物学双语教学的探索及思考

双语教学是我国教育改革的一项全新尝试,双语教学是指在教材使用、课堂讲授、课程考试等教学环节同时使用汉语和非母语并以外语为主要教学语言的教学活动,其最终目标是学习者能同时使用母语和外语进行思维,成为既懂专业又懂外语的国际性人才;细胞生物学发展迅速,是一门前沿性、国际性课程;对细胞生物学进行双语教学,使学生在掌握专业知识的同时,提高了英语水平,能满足学生查阅英文文献、写作专业英语文章、进行英语交流的需要,我们对细胞生物学双语教学进行尝试与探索,通过选择合适教材,保证教师师资力量,运用合理的教学方法,建设素材库和网络课程等方面进行努力,取得了较好的效果,提高了教学质量,为培养高素质的人才打好基础。

Beyond Verticality: Fuelscape Politics and Practices in the Andes

This paper analyzes the material, discursive, and biophysical dimensions of fuelscapes, or energy landscapes. Ethnographic and ecological fieldwork was conducted in the Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary, Peru. Andean land use studies have focused on agricultural patterns such as vertical production zones. Fuelscapes are an important, energy-based means of producing and representing landscape. They show how uncultivated lands fit into livelihood strategies and reflect historic sedimentation of landscape. Fuelscapes are shaped by ecological characteristics, historic settlement patterns and property rights, gendered and intergenerational divisions in household labor, and state conservation policies. Conservation policies delimit fuelscapes to privilege live trees, but the resultant denudation of dead wood may carry implications for ecosystem health. This study elucidates how official policies intersect with household and communal resource use strategies to produce Andean fuelscapes. It provides insight into how uncultivated ecosystems fit into land use politics, practices, and representation.     

生物化学双语教学的实践与思考

开展双语教学是高等学校培养国际性竞争人才的需要,其必要性在经济全球化日见盛行的今天尤其彰显。在生物化学课程进行一学期双语教学的基础上,总结体会得失,提供一些可行的方法,提出存在的问题以及解决问题的可能措施,为该课程实行双语教学贡献绵薄。     

Daring to Change: The Potential of Intercultural Education in Aymara Communities in Chile

The following article presents a project in teacher training in northern Chile that was meant to provoke an attitudinal change toward native culture among rural school teachers working in one Aymara district. In keeping with participatory research methods, the project also sought to probe into the dynamics at play in the teachers' position. The conclusions drawn from this experience suggest that hegemonic barriers stand in the way of broadening the scope of intercultural education in plural, democratic societies.

Estuarine and Tidal Wetland Restoration in the United Kingdom: Policy Versus Practice

Restoration of reclaimed marshes in the United Kingdom, referred to as managed realignment, is both a scientific and a political issue. A cross‐party House of Commons report to Government stressed that provision of long‐term sustainable coastal defenses must start with the premise that “coasts need space” and that government must work to increase public awareness, scientific knowledge, and political will to facilitate such a retreat from the almost sacrosanct existing shoreline. Government, in turn, has agreed with the basis of the report but is aware of conflicting interests, not least the European legislation, which has designated large areas of reclaimed marshes as Special Areas of Conservation that cannot legally be restored to their former tidal processes. Against this background, it is essential that scientific research provides convincing arguments for the necessity for managed realignment, the location, extent, and type of marshlands that need to be restored to provide sustainable flood defenses, maintain and enhance conservation status, and ensure a healthy functioning estuarine system. We examine the political and scientific issues involved, discuss model predictions and field experiments into realignment techniques, and outline the preliminary results of such experiments showing the evolution of restored intertidal wetlands in the United Kingdom.
