The canary in the data mine

The present article aims at portraying the type of profile best required to fulfil the function of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) within the EU public sector. The article proposes the idiom of the “canary in a coal mine” as best positioned to describe the multidisciplinary role of DPOs. Due to the particularity and sensitivity of their function, Data Protection Officers act as early indicators of data protection incompliance within their respective area of expertise. Only when being functionally independent, Data Protection Officers could master the role of “canaries in the data mine” thus preventing possible data protection breaches and violations.     

Effectiveness of a risk–need–responsivity‐based treatment program for violent and sexual offenders: Results of a retrospective,quasi‐experimental study

Purpose

Relapse prevention is an important goal in correctional settings. Although there is strong evidence for the effectiveness of certain treatment programs for juvenile offenders, those for adults lack such evidence. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a risk–need–responsivity (RNR)‐based intervention.

Methods

A quasi‐experimental, observational study design and cox regression analysis were used to compare treated violent and sexual offenders (n = 171) with untreated offenders (n = 241).

Results

Both groups were observed for an average of 7.9 years. Recidivism rates of treated offenders (11.7%, n = 20) were similar to those of control offenders (15.8%, n = 38; p = .25). When controlling for confounding variables, the hazard of recidivism in the treatment group was 5.2% lower than that in the control group. Subdividing the treatment group resulted in lower hazard ratios for offenders still in therapy when released and offenders cancelling therapy. However, none of the group differences was statistically significant.

Conclusion

Our results show that control and RNR‐based treatment groups had comparable recidivism rates with a trend towards a positive treatment effect, especially for people in outpatient treatment. However, criminal history, age at the start of follow‐up, and actuarial risk of recidivism were significantly associated with recidivism. Future research needs to apply elaborate methodological approaches to detect robust treatment effects and consider different criteria of treatment effectiveness. Furthermore, the influence of prison climate, motivational factors, intervention quality, and factors supporting the success of outpatient treatment should be considered in future studies of larger offender samples.

改制上市不是灵丹妙药--由日本的教训看我国银行改革的制度缺陷与制度设计

目前,我国国有商业银行的改革进入到攻坚阶段,改制上市成为当前国有商业银行改革的目标和救命稻草。但日本银行业历经十年的改革,却仍未取得实质进展的教训提醒我们,仅仅实现形式上的产权多元化和上市并不能从根本上解决银行业的问题,关键是要吸取日本银行改革的教训,分析国有商业银行改革中存在哪些制度缺陷,然后标本兼治,大刀阔斧地进行一系列制度创新才能把国有商业银行打造成富有效率、规范运作的现代金融企业。

Modeling teachers acceptance of learning management system in higher education during COVID-19 pandemic: A developing country perspective

The ubiquity of the World Wide Web has provided massive opportunities to teachers and learners around the globe to share knowledge anytime anywhere via learning management system. Hence, considering the needs of the students; universities have arranged the facilities of the learning management system. This study is an empirical evaluation of university faculty members' intention to use a learning management system. We extended Davis's (1989) Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to evaluate faculty members' intention to use learning management system amid COVID-19. Data were obtained from the faculty members of Pakistani universities through the convenience sampling technique and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The outcomes of the study revealed that perceived ease of using a learning management system, user-interface design, and faculty members' innovativeness have a favorable impact on their intention to use learning management system. Facilitating conditions positively influenced intention to use learning management system. However, the positive relationship between facilitating conditions and perceived ease of using the learning management system was insignificant. The results indicate that the extended TAM model has effectively predicted faculty members' intention to use the learning management system. The findings of the current study can be used for the training and development of faculty members by institutions and regulatory bodies in developing countries.

试论中国传统服饰文化与现代服饰设计的传承关系

服装演绎着生活方式、生活态度及多姿多彩的绚丽人生,而服装设计则通过视觉传递着文化、审美、社会角色等各种各样的信息.中国素有"衣冠王国"之称,创造了无数精美绝伦的服饰,但其民族性的特色是不变的.如何正确、系统、科学地利用我国的传统服饰文化,"去其糟粕,取其精华"进行再创造,中国传统服饰文化与现代服饰设计的传承关系,将是一个值得我们认真思考、深入研究的新课题.     

针刺治疗腰椎间盘突出症的临床正交设计观察

目的 对腰椎间盘突出症的针刺治疗方案进行初步优选。方法 以48例腰椎间盘突出症患者为观察对象,以视觉模拟评分法（visual analogue scale,VAS）、日本骨科协会（Japanese orthopaedic association,JOA）评分系统为评价指标,以针刺腰夹脊穴为主要治疗方法,采用四因素二水平正交设计方案,对加强局部选穴、循经远端取穴、电针频率、针刺间隔时间的组合方案进行优选。结果 加强局部取穴、循经远端取穴、电针频率3个因素两水平间的VAS及JOA评分差异具有统计学意义（P<0.05）;针刺时间间隔两水平之间VAS及JOA评分差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）;交互作用中,加强局部取穴与电针频率4 Hz、循经远端取穴与电针频率4 Hz的交互作用最为显著。结论 腰椎间盘突出症宜针刺夹脊穴,配合加强局部取穴和循经远端取穴,电针频率4 Hz,隔日治疗1次。
