波特竞争战略与地方院校差异化生存

近年来地方院校在办学上出现了“千校一面”、相互复制的同质化竞争现象,既限制了自身的生存发展空间,也不利于高等教育的可持续发展。迈克尔.波特的竞争理论为地方院校制定发展战略提供了一种理性选择:准确定位,错位竞争,彰显特色,实现差异化生存。     

上海世博会是人类文明的盛会

城市是人类文明进步的摇篮，当城市出现后，人类文明进步的速度大大加快了。1800年，全球仅有2％的人口生活在城市；2007年，全球已有50％的人口生活在城市。今后几十年，可能是全球城市化飞跃发展的几十年，推动这一飞跃的是一批发展中国家在崛起。     

河北省农村教师生存质量的调查研究

在我国的教师队伍中,农村教师占有很大的比例,承担着我国教育系统中最重要、最庞大的基础教育部分。农村教师的生存以及工作现状不仅直接关系到自身的生存质量,也将关系到农村的教育质量和人才培养素质。但是农村教师至今仍处于弱势地位,所处环境较差,工资偏低甚至拖欠,专业发展机会较少,从而导致他们在生理和心理上承受巨大压力。本研究通过对河北省内15个县市的500名农村教师生存质量的抽样调查,分析了其当前生存质量及原因,并提出了相应的管理对策。     

Dirty tricks of cross-examination

A mock jury study was conducted to test the hypothesis that perceptions of a witness can be biased by presumptuous cross-examination questions. A total of 105 subjects read a rape trial in which the cross-examiner asked a question that implied something negative about the reputation of either the victim or an expert. Within each condition, the question was met with either a denial, an admission, or an objection from the witness's attorney. Results indicated that although ratings of the victim's credibility were not affected by the presumptuous question, the expert's credibility was significantly diminished—even when the question had elicited a denial or a sustained objection. Conceptual and practical implications of these findings are discussed.This research was supported by funds provided to the first author by the Bronfman Science Center.     

小儿感染与多系统器官功能衰竭──附12例临床及病理分析

本文对１２例小儿感染致多系统器官功能衰竭死亡病例进行临床及病理分析。临床表现有发热、外周血白细胞总数增高、心率增快、呼吸困难、呕吐、意识障碍、无尿等。其中发生二器官功能衰竭３例．三器官功能衰竭３例，四器官功能衰竭６例。病理学检查见多器官组织内炎细胞浸润；脏器充血、水肿、出血、ＤＩＣ形成；肠粘膜变性、坏死：淋巴免疫器官病变等。本文在形态学上进一步证实了多系统器官功能衰竭发生的炎症介质学说、微循环障碍、肠源性感染和免疫机能下降的综合作用机理。     

The relationship between education, experience, and police performance

This study used data from 299 police officers from 12 municipal police departments across the state of Virginia to determine the relationship between education and police performance. Performance was measured by supervisor evaluations of each officer's overall performance, communication skills, public relations skills, report writing skills, response to new training, decision making ability, and commitment to the police department. Significant correlations were found between education and most measures of performance. Most importantly, the results show a significant correlation between overall performance and education (r=24, p.<001). The only variables not proving to be significantly related to education were objective measures of the volume of arrests, number of times the officer required discipline, and number of accidents. Interestingly, the benefits of a college education do not become apparent until police officers gain experience. In addition, police, officers with only a high school diploma decreased in overall performance after five years of experience.     

Responding to the global tobacco industry: Canada and the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control

Abstract: In a continuing quest to build and defend world markets for tobacco products, tobacco companies have long been involved in international cooperation and information‐sharing through their own international corporate networks, as well as through national and international industry trade associations. This is evidenced in tobacco industry corporate documents now freely available on the internet. In order to institute effective tobacco control policy, policy‐makers needed to become equally astute at sharing information across national boundaries and at considering the cross‐national implications of policy and legislation. The World Health Organization has been instrumental in developing the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), and Canada has played an important part in this effort. The FCTC contains both demand‐reduction provisions and supply‐side provisions intended to reduce tobacco use worldwide. As a signatory to the FCTC, Canada has pledged to adhere to these provisions, thereby providing Canadian public administrators with effective tools to reduce tobacco use and its associated health burden both nationally and internationally. Sommaire: En cherchant continuellement à développer et à défendre les marchés mondiaux pour les produits du tabac, les sociétés productrices de tabac sont impliquées depuis longtemps dans la coopération internationale et le partage d'informations par le biais de leurs propres réseaux de sociétés internationales et d'associations professionnelles nationales et internationales. C'est ce qui ressort des documents des sociétés productrices de tabac auxquels on peut accéder librement sur Internet. Afin d'instituer une politique efficace de contrôle du tabagisme, les décideurs politiques ont dù devenir astucieux quant au partage d'informations et à l'étude des répercussions transnationales des politiques et des lois. L'Organisation mondiale de la santé a fortement contribuéà l'élaboration de la Convention‐cadre sur la lutte contre le tabagisme (CCLCT), et le Canada a joué un rôle important sur ce plan. La CCLCT contient à la fois des dispositions relatives à la réduction de la demande et d'autres relatives à l'offre qui visent à réduire la consommation de tabac dans le monde entier. En tant que pays signataire de la CCLCT, le Canada s'est engagéà respecter ces dispositions, fournissant ainsi aux administrateurs publics canadiens des outils efficaces pour réduire la consommation de tabac et le fardeau sur la santé qui lui est associéà l'échelle nationale et internationale.
