The Management of Democratic Elections in Africa (MDEA) programme at the university of South Africa: Is this the right path towards African solutions?

There have been a number of initiatives in Africa to rid the Continent of political instability, conflict, poverty and disease. Many have argued that aid from the West has helped Africa in many ways—from stopping wars, to food relief and rescuing the African environment. Yet others have slated Western involvement which they contend, frequently leaves Africans dependant rather than capable of solving their own problems. In line with the pan-Africanist and the African Union (AU) ideals, there is now a realisation by Africans that there is a need to find African solutions to African challenges and problems. This review article explores the University of South Africa’s (Unisa’s) Management of Democratic Elections in Africa (MDEA) programme, by looking at its objectives and the reason why it must be labelled a Programme, its mandate, which is in line with the brief of the AU and pan-Africanist ideals. The article focuses on how Unisa’s programme responds to the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance (ACDEG); and how it has attempted to facilitate knowledge for peace in Africa, through empowering electoral officials from various African states. The article concludes by looking at the successes and limitations of the Programme over a five-year period, from its inception in 2011.     

运用卡特尔16PF对边疆少数民族大学生心理健康状况调查

本文采用问卷调查和田野调查相结合的方法。首先从边疆9省中随机抽取了1000名生源地在边疆的少数民族在校大学生,运用卡特尔16PF对他们进行心理测验,结果发现边疆少数民族大学生心理健康水平显著低于全国一般水平,男生与女生之间的健康水平也存在显著差异。在影响心理健康水平的4个因素中,忧虑性对男女生的心理健康都有显著影响,而紧张性因素只对女生的心理健康有显著影响。同时,通过田野调查探讨了影响少数民族大学生心理健康的原因。     

论高校辅导员职业信仰的内涵与塑造

高校辅导员的职业信仰是他们破解职业倦怠,提升职业幸福感与归属感的重要基础。高校辅导员树立职业信仰,需要他们由衷地信任辅导员工作的职业价值,并真诚投入职业情感,认真恪守职业规范。但是当前部分高校辅导员出现了职业价值认知错位、职业情感投入失位、职业规范遵守缺位等现象。要有效塑造高校辅导员的职业信仰,应该从深化他们对职业价值的认识,为他们畅通职业发展的渠道,增强师生之间的有效互动以及健全相关规章制度等方面着手。     

The star of David in a cedar tree: Jewish students and Zionism at the American University of Beirut (1908–1948)

The American University of Beirut's emergence as a hub of Arab national and cultural identity in the first half of the twentieth century has been well documented by historians. The simultaneous Zionist presence on campus has been largely overlooked. Zionist ideas were predominantly promoted by Palestinian Jewish students who formed a small but vocal minority at AUB prior to 1948. Faculty and non-Jewish students also regularly collaborated with and traveled to Zionist institutions in Palestine for academic, athletic, and leisure purposes. For Arab students on campus, therefore, Zionism was not an abstract concept, but rather a national identity embodied by fellow classmates and friends on campus. As the conflict in Palestine increased in the 1930s and 1940s, so too did political activism and tensions on campus between Zionist and Arab nationalist students. This article analyzes this unique period of exchange, collaboration, and friction at AUB, which came to a swift end with the outbreak of the 1948 War. By focusing on the interactions between Arab and Zionist Jewish students at AUB, I seek to extend the ‘relational’ approach towards Jewish-Arab contact beyond Palestine's borders.     

现代大学治理结构：真实命题及中国语境

大学治理结构的真实命题包括多重涵义:回应"冲突和多元利益"的治理需要,建构能够体现利益相关者组织属性和委托代理关系特点的决策权结构;大学自身不是完整意义上的办学利益主体,其"组织剩余"是由社会利益来决定的公共价值,每一种利益相关者都不应单独地对大学行使控制权;大学治理结构是比管理结构更为基础的制度结构,其根本目的是建立大学决策过程与社会权利主体的合理联系,实现社会价值平衡。大学治理结构的中国语境是:办学体制的变化为政府与高校建立具有委托代理性质的契约关系提供了法律依据和操作空间;管理体制的变化使大学决策责任骤然加重、决策权处于高度集中状态,风险也随之出现;办学经费筹资结构的变化表明大学的社会基础日益广泛化,其利益相关者组织的属性正从模糊走向清晰。我国大学已跨越前治理时期,但向治理阶段迈进必须依靠上层政治权威的推动,才可能突破"制度锁定状态",破解历史性难题。

场景教学法在公安皖敕行政法教学中的运用

公安教育从根本上说是一种职业教育，强调警察职业核心能力的培养，对实践性教学提出更高的要求。“行政法”课程是关乎警察行政执法的必修课，采用场景教学法授课，让学生扮演角色亲历行政执法场景，有助于提升学生对行政法律规范的理解和运用能力，培养出优良的公安执法后备力量。因此，研究“行政法”课程中场景教学法的具体运用，探寻场景教学法有效实施的保障措施，应当成为当前公安院校教学改革的重要组成部分。     

光复初期国民政府对台北帝国大学接收及改制的困境——以罗宗洛、陈仪之争为中心的考察

台湾光复初期，陈仪受国民政府之命全面负责台湾接收事宜。与此同时，罗宗洛衔国民政府教育部之命前往台湾接收台北帝国大学。这种“多头政治”的领导体制必然会导致种种矛盾，而陈仪与罗宗洛办学理念的迥异扩大了这种矛盾，使得双方在台大人事、教务与经费等重要事项上争斗激烈。面对压力和困境，罗宗洛无力化解，被迫离台，台大遂而落人陈仪之掌控。
