Maxwell's role in turning the concept of model into the methodology of modeling

This is a contribution towards a history and philosophy of modeling in its early stages in electromagnetism. In 1873, James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879) hinted at the methodology of modeling at the end of his Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism. We focus on Maxwell's impact on physicists who immediately followed him, specifically Oliver Lodge (1851–1940) and George Francis FitzGerald (1851–1901). We begin with the role that the scientific concept of model played in the late nineteenth century, as assessed by Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906). We then discuss the role of hypothesis as a methodology, the appeal to (dynamical) illustration, and the way Maxwell applied model and working model in his studies of electromagnetism. We show that for Maxwell these key terms were kept distinct, but Lodge did not maintain these distinctions and, in this regard, FitzGerald followed Lodge. Notwithstanding Lodge's influence, Fitzgerald modified Maxwell's theory based on the mechanical model he designed, thereby implicitly taking the first step towards modeling. This methodology consists in drawing consequences from the (mechanical) model to the (electrodynamic) theory and modifying the latter in light of the functioning of the former. At the core of our argument is the thesis that it was a methodological novelty to move from the concept of model to the methodology of modeling. The introduction of modeling as a new methodology into physics in the late nineteenth century was a major event which deserves proper recognition.

考虑标度的加型一致性模糊判断矩阵的排序方法

通过实例说明相关文献中加型一致性模糊判断矩阵排序方法的参数取值存在的问题,分析出该问题是由于其公式证明中没有区分标度导致的,指出其结论适用于0～1标度的加型一致性模糊判断矩阵.然后,重新证明了0.1～0.9标度下的加型一致性模糊判决矩阵的排序方法和相关结论.最后,定义了广义模糊标度,并给出广义模糊标度下加型一致性模糊判断矩阵的排序方法和相关结论,使得相关文献中排序方法和相关结论实现形式上的统一.     

体育消费的学理脉络、统计内容及其实施策略

采用文献资料法，依次从学理脉络、统计内容及其实施策略展开关于体育消费以及体育消费统计的讨论。认为：从学理上看，体育消费作为一个复杂概念，既牵涉宏观经济社会发展，也与文化意识形态紧密联系；而作为准确把握体育市场、把脉体育发展情况的基础性工作之一，体育消费统计则应该避免将体育消费概念泛化。应以体育政策为导向，面向人民的美好生活需要，对接国民经济统计制度，考虑建构以“体育教育与培训、体育文化与娱乐、体育保健与康复、体育传媒与信息、体育衣着耐用品、其他体育用品与服务、个人间接体育消费”为核心指标的统计框架，并通过长效工作方案的设计使体育消费统计工作制度化，通过统计调查制度的建构使体育消费统计执行有效化，通过统计数据的测算推算使体育消费统计结果精准化。     

高职院校工程造价专业课程评价探讨

课程评价是高职院校课程实践和课程改革中不可忽视的环节。目前高职院校课程理论研究远远落后于课程实践,课程评价研究尤为滞后,因此,开展课程评价研究对于指导高职课程建设、提高课程建设质量十分必要。该文通过对课程评价含义、评价原则、评价主体、评价方法、评价手段等几个侧面问题的探讨,结合该研究者所在学校开展的项目化课程改革研究成果,提出了构建高职院校工程造价专业课程评价体系的思路,以期为高职工程造价专业课程评价改革提供实践依据。     

Promoting Entrepreneurship through a Community Learning Model – Case Study: Green Businesses

This article presents a community learning model formulated by Engineers Without Borders Colombia with the aim of providing communities with tools to create sustainable productive solutions which have relevancy for members and for potential customers. The goal of this formulation is to promote learning processes that are guided by decisions made by community members to propose sustainable and replicable initiatives. The model applicability is evidenced through a case study devoted to strengthening community-led green businesses in the Guavio Province, Colombia by collecting lessons and conclusions. Ultimately, this collection will prove useful in replicating the learning model in other similar rural communities.
