提高遗传学教学效果的改革与实践

在教学时数压缩、生源构成复杂的新形势下,以细菌和病毒的遗传为例,总结了提高遗传学教学效果的课程改革方法：精选朱军《遗传学（第二版）》教材作为组织教学的蓝本,进行系统的知识体系调整与整合,对教学难点进行、巧妙设计,整体教学内容做到概念明确,重点突出,由浅入深,前后呼应,力争用简单的语言、明晰的逻辑关系展开遗传学教学。     

基于生态足迹的河南省耕地利用状况分析

生态足迹模型是测度可持续发展的工具,能非常直观地表现区域可持续发展状况。文章基于该模型,采用可变地区单产法,对河南省及其18个地级市2000--2005年耕地资源的生态足迹进行动态分析。研究表明：（1）河南省各地级市耕地利用情况差异悬殊;（2）河南省耕地生态资源处于不可持续利用状态;（3）河南省耕地资源不可持续利用程度相对有所缓和。     

沈阳市产业结构综合效益指数分析

分析沈阳市产业结构近30年的变动趋势表明,统计数据揭示了出现与传统观点所认为的产业结构高度化趋势相悖的现象。产业结构效益评价发现,虽然其综合效益指数呈现逐年上升的趋势,但结构贡献是下降的,说明其产业结构并没有真正地得到优化。借助比较劳动生产率等指标分析每一个产业的内部贡献,揭示了第二产业相对较好,第一、三产业均存在技术进步贡献在减弱,剩余劳动力制约产业效益的提高等问题。同时第三产业还存在投资结构不合理的问题。提出优化第一产业内部结构,合理转移农业剩余劳动力;合理完善第三产业的投资结构,提高资金与劳动力的利用率;推进工业产业结构升级,提高第二产业对劳动力的吸纳能力,最终实行一、二、三产业协调发展。     

高校工程跟踪审计存在的问题与对策

高校工程跟踪审计可有效提高审计质量,但当前却存在审计人员素质不高、工程跟踪审计意识不强、审计程序不规范等问题,针对这些问题,可采取相应的措施加以解决:加强队伍建设;突出工作重点;提高相关人员的跟踪审计意识;遵循一定的原则;制定规范的、切实有效的可操作的工程跟踪审计办法。     

四种老龄化理念及其政策蕴意

在老龄化问题研究中,健康老龄化、积极老龄化、成功老龄化和生产性老龄化,这四种理念具有不同的内涵。在结合地方养老服务创新案例分析四种老龄化理念的相互关系及其政策蕴意的基础上,运用“生活质量-社会质量”视角,评估健康老龄化和成功老龄化在提升老年群体生活质量方面的效用,探讨生产性老龄化和积极老龄化对提升社会质量的意义,从而深化人们对各种养老理念的理解,将老龄化的问题延展至老年照顾之外的参与和增能方面,丰富养老政策的内容和内涵,为发展老年友好型社会提供政策路径。     

Promoting Empowerment Among LGBTQ Youth: A Social Justice Youth Development Approach

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer-identified (LGBTQ) youth are a population with a unique set of service needs. Existing research on effective service methods with LGBTQ youth is limited. Youth empowerment holds potential as an approach that can impact well-being among youth who face discrimination. The current study explores the relationship between the social justice youth development framework (Ginwright and James, New Directions Youth Dev 96:27–46, 2002) and youth empowerment in a sample of LGBTQ youth. Multiple regression analysis of data collected through a community-based youth program identified critical consciousness and community engagement as significant predictors of empowerment. Findings suggest that programs that promote these factors among LGBTQ youth using the social justice youth development framework may enhance empowerment thereby increasing other aspects of well-being.     

The evidence base for social support interventions in child and family practice: Emerging issues for research and practice

This paper examines the evidence base for interventions which seek to enhance social support resources for families with children at risk of adverse developmental outcomes. Substantive and methodological issues related to the implementation of social support interventions are discussed and a research agenda for the development, testing and evaluation of such interventions is presented.     

Averaging Lorenz curves

A large number of functional forms has been suggested in the literature for estimating Lorenz curves that describe the relationship between income and population shares. The traditional way of overcoming functional-form uncertainty when estimating a Lorenz curve is to choose the function that best fits the data in some sense. In this paper we describe an alternative approach for accommodating functional-form uncertainty, namely, how to use Bayesian model averaging to average the alternative functional forms. In this averaging process, the different Lorenz curves are weighted by their posterior probabilities of being correct. Unlike a strategy of picking the best-fitting function, Bayesian model averaging gives posterior standard deviations that reflect the functional-form uncertainty. Building on our earlier work (Chotikapanich and Griffiths, 2002), we construct likelihood functions using the Dirichlet distribution and estimate a number of Lorenz functions for Australian income units. Prior information is formulated in terms of the Gini coefficient and the income shares of the poorest 10% and poorest 90% of the population. Posterior density functions for these quantities are derived for each Lorenz function and are averaged over all the Lorenz functions.     

On the Compatibility of Organizational Behavior Management and BACB Certification

The number of practicing behavior analysts who hold Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) certification has substantially increased in the past decade. Some have mistakenly interpreted the BACB’s certification requirements as being specific to the autism and intellectual disabilities practice area. We present key BACB requirements, describe how they are practice-area neutral, and provide specific examples of their relevance to organizational behavior management.
