Power and Cognitive Accuracy in Local Emergency Management Networks

Using network power bases and cognitive accuracy concepts, this study examines two local emergency management network changes. The authors review five power bases—structural-based, resource-based, actor-based, cognitive-based, and political-based power—to explore the perceived power of network actors. Three research propositions are proposed with respect to the relationship between the network power bases and the cognitive accuracy of network participants. The authors find that political-based power is strongly correlated with perceived power. The article concludes with future research questions and directions for advancing current scholarship on emergency management networks.     

法律移植及其本土化现象的关联考察——兼论我国法的本土化问题

法律移植是人类文化交流的必然产物,任何社会的文化都不能孤立地存在,但是各民族国家由于具有独特的地理环境与人文环境,使得法律文化的交往产生了一定的困难,所以移植法律必须与本国的传统结合起来,实现法律的本土化.协调移植法律与本土资源会使得固有文化得以传承,又能开启未来,与世界接轨.中国法制自中华法系破产后走过了一段艰难的路,至现在仍不免"幼稚",因此移植自不能避免.然而在一个具有悠久历史文化传统的国度里实现移植,又必须充分考虑本土化的问题,即使在诸多领域法律日益趋同化的今天,本土化依然是一个重要而有意义的话题.

Correlates of Ideal Body Size Among Black and White Adolescents

Cultural differences have been found in body image perceptions among Black and White adolescents, however little is known about the factors associated with perceptions of an ideal body size (IBS). This study examined differences in correlates of IBS among 265 Black (116 girls and 62 boys) and White (63 girls and 24 boys) adolescents. IBS for White girls and boys was related to perceptions of how their parents wanted them to look, while IBS for Black girls was related to perception of how peers look and would like to look. IBS for Black boys was significantly related to perceptions of their current size, how peers would like to look, how parents think they look, and depressive symptoms. Findings suggest cultural differences in the factors related to body image perceptions and have implications for educational programs promoting healthy body image development among Black and White adolescents.Assistant Professor, Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, University of Kansas Medical Center.

Standardization of method for the analysis of dextromethorphan in urine

Dextromethorphan (DMP), an antitussive, is one of the most popular drugs among the younger generation in Korea. It usually is taken for its hallucinogenic properties and overdoses have been responsible for the fatalities that have been reported frequently. To control the abuse of DMP, the authorities restricted its use through classifying it as a controlled drug on October 2003. The purpose of this study is to provide a standard method for the analysis of DMP and its main metabolite, dextrorphan (DTP) in biological specimens. At first we established a standard operating procedure (SOP) for DMP/DTP in urine, and a method validation was performed. We also quantified DMP from 16 drug abuser's urine samples all of which were positive in the screening test for DMP. For the detection of DMP/DTP, urine samples were adjusted with 6N NaOH (pH 11) and extracted with ethylacetate. Thin layer chromatography was used as the screening test, and the final identification for DMP/DTP was used by GC/MS. The ions (m/z 271 for DMP, m/z 257 for DTP and m/z 86 for lidocaine as internal standard) were extracted from the full scan mass spectrum and were used for quantification. The selectivity, linearity of calibration, accuracy, within- and between day precision, limit of detection and quantification, recovery and stability were examined as parts of the method validation. Extracted calibration curves were linear from 100 to 2000 ng/mL for DMP and DTP with correlation coefficients better than 0.999. Limit detection was 50 ng/mL for DMP and DTP. Within-run precision (%CV) for DMP and DTP at three different concentrations (100, 500 and 1000 ng/mL) was 6.10-18.85%, and between-run precision was 1.70-7.86% for DMP and DTP. Absolute recovery for DMP and DTP was 57-74%, and relative recovery (extraction efficiency) was 80-89%. For 16 drug abuser's urine samples, the concentrations of DMP and DTP were 0.16-52.63 and 0.41-23.75 microg/mL, respectively. Method validation is an important requirement in the practice of chemical analysis, and it will be particularly useful in verifying the reliability of analytical results in the field of forensic science.
