Academic Achievement and the Self-Image of Adolescents with Diabetes Mellitus Type-1 and Rheumatoid Arthritis

A total of 69 adolescents, 21 with diabetes mellitus type-1 (DM), 24 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and 24 controls matched for sex, age, social background, and living environment, were compared by means of their school grades and the Offer Self-Image Questionnaire. The ages of the children at the time of the diagnosis of the disease and its subsequent duration were the same in the DM and the RA groups. Results show that the academic achievement of adolescents with DM who are well balanced and adolescents with RA with mild or moderate symptoms are equal to those of their healthy peers. In the OSIQ scales there were no statistically significant differences between the groups. In the groups of controls, there were more significant correlations between the OSIQ scores and the school grades than those with the DM or RA adolescents. The direction was positive. The correlations of the 3 groups did not differ significantly from each other. In case of adolescents with various kinds of chronic diseases, it is important to support their motivation for learning and planning the future.Medical doctor, specializes in child and adolescent psychiatry.

Heterogeneity of Girls’ Consensual Popularity: Academic and Interpersonal Behavioral Profiles

The present study explored the heterogeneous nature of popularity by investigating subgroups of popular girls (N = 365) in their first year of secondary school (mean age  =  13.05). Cluster analysis revealed the presence of five subgroups based upon sociometric popularity (i.e., those considered likeable by peers) and consensual popularity (i.e., those considered popular by peers), and academic behavioral indices. Two of these groups contained girls who were all nominated as “popular” by classmates, yet the girls in one group displayed very positive academic behaviors (Popular Studious); girls in the other popular group displayed extreme antiacademic behaviors (Popular Disengaged). The remaining groups were Average Popular, Unpopular Disengaged, and Unpopular Studious. External validating measures confirmed the existence of the subgroups, that is, Popular Studious girls were judged by classmates to behave in a prosocial fashion, whereas Popular Disengaged girls exhibited many antisocial behaviors, and were often nominated as bullies. Unpopular Studious girls were often nominated as victims. These findings confirmed the hypothesis that consensual popularity is a heterogeneous concept, and that antiacademic and antisocial girls may still be among the most consensually popular students in secondary schools.Lecturer at the Department of Educational Sciences, University of Amsterdam, Wibautstraat 4, 1091 GM Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

论学术腐败的成因及治理对策

惩治腐败,是繁荣学术研究的重要条件。当前学术腐败现象的滋生蔓延,原因是多方面的,与我国学者长期缺乏现代学术规范的训练,科学精神缺失,以及学术管理体制上学术与政治不分,学术政治化、意识形态化,学术制度不健全等有着紧密的联系。铲除学术腐败行为,一方面应大力弘扬科学精神,加强学者学术道德建设,同时限制政治权力对学术研究的过分干预,营造宽松、自由的学术研究氛围;另一方面应健全和完善监督、惩处、评价等学术制度,保证学术研究规范进行。

“第三职能”的扩张与中国大学的未来

20世纪80年代以来,中国大学的角色发生了重大的变化,大学体系建立之初仅承担教育职能,目前已确立了科学研究的第二职能和直接服务社会的第三职能,与其他国家不同,中国大学的第三职能占有重要地位,由此派生出由大学控制和经营的企业,并对大学科研和发展产生了影响,中国大学的未来,不仅要考虑第三职能有效发挥和社会短期需求,而且更应该以大学在国家创新系统中的角色定位、大学的社会使命作为基点,凸显大学保持与传播知识、探索新知识及对社会的建设性批评精神,国家要努力建立多元化大学体系,要对少数骨干大学进行重点扶持,适当收缩其第三职能,主管部门应汲取历史教训,尽力避免长官意志与“一刀切”行为。
