Accented voices: Iranian–Norwegian readings of media texts on Iran and Iranianness

This study focuses on Iranian–Norwegian individuals' perceptions concerning representation of Iran and Iranianness within the Norwegian media. Twenty Iranian–Norwegians are included in the study. The aim was to demonstrate the Iranian–Norwegians accented voices; that Iranian–Norwegian reading is seen in relation to the wider socio-cultural context of these individuals in Norway and Iran. In so doing, the focus is on the television programme World Cup Studio (Norwegian: VM-studio) broadcast by TV2, a major Norwegian television channel, during the 2006 football World Cup, with Iran as one of the participants of the games. By analysing the Iranian–Norwegian' reading of this particular programme, the study concludes that informants' readings of discursive representation of Iran and Iranianness indicate an opposition to what they consider to be an essentialised view of their identity and position in the Norwegian context, as well as the context of the homeland under the current socio-cultural, and political condition.     

福柯的作者-功能说及其理论基础

在巴特喊出“作者死了”之后不久,福柯就提出了“作者一功能”理论,深入推进了对作者问题的研究。与巴特等人论述“作者死亡”不同的是,“作者一功能”说的理论基础是福柯的考古学方法,它与福柯对主体进行的批判紧密相连,它是福柯主体批判的一部分,或者更确切点说,它是后者的一个具体化、一个例证。福柯的“作者一功能”理论对当今的文学和文学理论研究具有深刻启示。

How Organizational Identity Affects Hospital Performance: Comparing Predictive Power of Mission Statements and Sector Affiliation

Abstract

Organizational identity is an important concept in organizational theory, as it can contextualize the behavior of organizations and members. The literature presents divergent perspectives on organizational identity: some studies have characterized organizational identity as constrained by institutional forces, whereas others have contended it is socially constructed by organizational members. Studies have largely focused on the former perspective, measuring organizational identity by sector affiliation; the latter approach has rarely been empirically tested. Therefore, in addition to sector affiliation, this article proposes a different approach to operationalizing organizational identity by examining hospitals’ mission statements. The study also examines which of these dual forces have more predictive power regarding organizational performance. Together with hospitals’ sector affiliation, we test how the presence and frequency of mission statement language regarding access, cost, quality, or unique organizational values affect hospitals’ various performance metrics. Regression analyses with 172 acute hospitals in Florida reveal significant relationships between types of mission statement content, sectors, and performance indicators.     

全面开放新格局下提升服务业开放及竞争力的路径研究

推动形成全面开放新格局既是我国当前及未来十分重要的治国思路,也是我国适应和引领国际经济发展新变局的必然要求。党的十九大报告提出形成全面开放新格局要“五个更好的结合”,其中就包括服务领域与制造领域更好的结合。当前,服务业开放规模和增量十分可观,但在开放结构、开放领域、开放对象和开放规则等方面还存在诸多问题。在全面开放新格局下,服务业开放需要进一步打破服务贸易垄断、优化服务业开放结构、找准开放重点部门和领域、完善服务贸易开放制度和配套机制,以此发挥服务业贸易对于我国稳增长、促改革、调结构、惠民生、防风险的重要作用。     

关于我国引进外资质量问题的思考

引进外资的实质,就是让出国内部分市场、资源去换取国际资本的一部分资金和技术。我国在引进外资时一定要注意其负面效应。本借鉴发展中国家和发达国家引进外国资本的经验、教训,结合我国的实际,提出了我国今后利用外资的若干对策建议。     

非法供述排除规则问题反思

被告人供述具有直接证据的属性,因其能为案件侦破提供丰富的证据线索而倍受侦查人员的重视。在现行司法体制和诉讼结构下,被告人供述证据的非法获得与使用滋生了严重的法律和社会问题。刑讯逼供泛滥、案卷笔录中心主义的法庭裁判模式等一系列问题导致了一批冤假错案的集中爆发,也催生了刑事诉讼法的再修改。但新修改的刑事诉讼法,仍是立足原有司法体制土壤中的技术革新,难以弥补体制本身的漏洞,实践中有关非法供述证据研究方向的偏离、相关举证责任倒置规定的流于形式都反映了非法供述证据在新刑诉时代仍将存在排除上的障碍。     

以党务公开迈向权力文明之路

党务公开是中国共产党加强执政能力建设的一个重大举措,是走向权力文明进而促进政治文明发展的必由之路。党务公开的实质是权力公开透明运行,其目的是增加党内工作和党内生活的透明度,保证广大党员的主体地位和知情权,进一步加强对权力的监督和制约。封建官本位的文化价值观、党组织对自身利益的维护、以传统管理方式和经验从事党务工作以及上下级党组织党务公开互动管道不顺畅是阻碍党务公开和权力受监督制约的重要因素。只有以党内民主的文化价值观颠覆和清除封建官本位的文化价值观,正确认识和协调好党组织自身利益与广大党员以及人民群众利益的关系,将党务公开的经验管理和常规管理转变为信息管理和科学管理,畅通上下级党组织党务公开的互动管道,才能以权力文明促进党内民主发展和政治文明发展。     

世界经济区域集团化发展的理论分析及启示

区域集团化的原因在于:经济全球化和各国国内经济发展之间的矛盾运动;追求市场多元化,克服对单一市场的过度依赖;获得政治竞争优势.关税同盟理论表明,区域集团的贸易创造效应可能对世界经济发展有利,贸易转移效应可能对世界经济发展不利;大市场理论表明,区域集团能够促使规模经济形成,加剧竞争,提高管理和刺激技术发展,增进区域内直接投资;奥尔森的理论表明,区域集团会对成员国的各种特殊利益集团形成约束,促进各国经济效率的提高.区域集团化发展给我们的启示是:应以国家长期利益为重,树立均胜观;加强对内开放;加强与周边国家或地区的合作.     

改革开放以来我国地方纪检监察制度的嬗变与启示——以陕西省为例

改革开放以来国家纪检监察体制改革得以持续深化的重要基础是地方实践的探索与创新。其中,陕西省基于厚重建都史和伟大革命史的优秀廉政制度和文化积淀,其纪检监察制度具有其他省份无可比拟的先天性历史继承和改革创新优势。在党中央统一部署下,陕西纪检监察制度历经恢复重建和初步改革、构建警示训诫防线以源头防腐推进改革、创建反腐倡廉“制度群”以制度治腐深化改革、构建“三项机制”以激发动力全面深化改革、建立监察委员会以整合监督力量纵深推进改革五个阶段的艰辛探索,创新出一批具有典型性、先导性、实效性的富有陕西特色的纪检监察制度,积累了丰富的地方实践经验。其中,坚持制度反腐与过程防腐相结合,把教育挽救制度化和常态化;坚持以人民为中心和防止利益冲突相结合,把制度建设精细化和科学化;坚持制度管人和情感化人相结合,把干部激励正向化和精准化,这三项独特经验既为未来陕西纪检监察制度发展与改革提供了有益借鉴,也是从陕西这一“特殊”中总结出的“一般”,为我国持续深化权力监督制度改革提供陕西方案和智慧。     

浅谈新农村建设背景下如何做好乡镇基层党务公开工作

党务公开,就是指党的工作和活动,在条件许可的情况下,具有或应该具有公开性,而不再具有或不应该具有秘密性。近年来,随着我国民主的不断发展,党务公开思想已逐步为各级领导接受和重视,各地也相继进行了一些有益探索,但总体而言,实行党务公开时间还不长,如何加以规范和实施科学引导,成为推进乡镇基层党务公开必须着力解决的一个热点。
