Double sampling max chart

This study proposes a double sampling (DS) Max chart for monitoring shifts in the process mean and standard deviation. The design of the DS Max chart depends on five parameters, i.e. first and second sample sizes, warning limit at Stage 1, upper control limits at Stages 1 and 2. The optimization design of the DS Max chart is conducted using a genetic algorithm by minimizing the average run length. The comparison shows that the DS Max chart performs better than the existing charts in the literature. An example is provided to illustrate the application of the DS Max chart.     

中国民族学人类学本土化、国际化的困境与方向

本土化与国际化是中国民族学人类学学科建设中始终无法回避的一个议题,在不同历史时期,中国民族学人类学家对于本土化和国际化都曾有过热烈的探讨。本文在解读不同时期中国民族学人类学本土化和国际化主张的基础上,分析了中国民族学人类学本土化和国际化的学科内外的困境,强调了中国民族学人类学学科建设的局限主要归因于对学科本体缺乏应有的共识。鉴于中国民族学人类学的本土化和国际化从来就是东西方文化交流的产物,我们认为要实现彻底的本土化和国际化,必然依赖真正意义上的、充分的、平等的文化交流。     

Reviewing the latest national policies and services for people with severe mental health disorders in government-funded institutions in Vietnam,and policy recommendations for service improvements

The aim of this paper is to provide the international community with a broad and updated picture of key policies and services for people with severe mental health disorders in Vietnam. In particular, the paper (1) reviews the most important national policies governing care for people with mental health disorders, (2) reviews the status of free-of-charge care provided to people with severe mental health disorders in a network of government-funded facilities across the nation and (3) discusses the future policy directions of Vietnam regarding people with mental health disorders.     

Campaigning in the fourth age of political communication. A multi-method study on the use of Facebook by German and Austrian parties in the 2013 national election campaigns

Starting from the contribution to the discussion on a fourth age of political communication, here we argue that, as a consequence of how the Web 2.0 has changed political campaigns, the theoretical time-bound three-phase models of political campaigning must be reconsidered. We propose four ideal campaign types based on their ideal-typical target audience: partisan-, mass-, target group- and individual-centered campaigns. In reality, each campaign combines elements of all types. To examine this mixture empirically, we apply a most similar systems design and investigate five German and six Austrian parties’ use of Facebook in the 2013 national election campaigns. On the basis of face-to-face interviews with the campaign managers and a quantitative content analysis of the respective parties’ Facebook pages, we analyze how parties used Facebook as a campaigning tool to inform, interact with, and mobilize voters, as well as which target audiences they addressed. We find that, although the campaign managers declare Facebook their most important Web 2.0 campaigning tool, the German and Austrian parties did not make use of Facebook’s interactive and mobilizing potential, rather relying on mass-centered information, possibly due to the framework conditions in both countries. Based on our findings, we conclude that the role of context for election campaigning should be discussed more carefully.     

Language performance and cognitive function in persons with nondominant-hemispheric stroke

This study investigated the relationship between language performance and cognitive function in stroke patients after nondominant hemisphere damage. The results of a battery of formal language tests, K-WAB, of seventy-eight patients were analyzed. The correlation between their K-WAB and K-MMSE scores was analyzed. Multivariate analysis of covariance adjusting for educational years in each of K-WAB and K-MMSE was conducted in accordance with the brain lesion location. Only 35.9 % of patients were classified as normal and the remaining 64.1 % were categorized as subnormal by K-WAB. There was a positive correlation between their language and cognitive functions. Outcomes differed according to lesion location, as the SAH group exhibited a significantly lower performance in both language and cognitive evaluations than the other groups. Cognitive-communicative disorders in stroke patients with nondominant-hemispheric lesions present in different ways. In-depth language evaluation of all brain-damaged patients should be conducted so that language defects of patients are not ignored.     

Facilitating Redundancy‐Oriented Management with Gene‐Therapy‐Oriented Management Against Disaster

This article tests the hypothesis that “if redundancy‐oriented management has negative aspects, then it could be facilitated by gene‐therapy‐oriented management.” Negative aspects include disadvantages, misjudgments, or miscalculations. The article provides a newly revised principle of disaster management by studying gene‐therapy‐oriented management. Based on qualitative analysis, redundancy‐oriented and gene‐therapy‐oriented management are analyzed via five variables: governments, business, volunteers, households, and the international community. The article is valuable because an analytical frame on gene‐therapy‐oriented management is systematically reconceptualized for the field of disaster management via three elements: unhealthy proteins (problems or failed measures), a vector (new or modified solutions), and target cells (positive outcomes). In accepting the hypothesis, the key tenet is that stakeholders have to assist the progress of redundancy‐oriented management with gene‐therapy‐oriented management by paying attention to the genes of each disaster.     

近三十年国外民族政策研究简述

20世纪80年代以来,世界各国民族政策研究受到学界的重视,内容基本涉及了全球各类地区和国家,同时研究范围则较为广泛。主要关及民族自治权、民族教育、文化保护、土地权和资源开发等问题及其相关政策的评价。总体而言,苏联、南斯拉夫、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚等国是国外民族政策研究中受到较多关注的国家,本文着重回顾了既往研究中对以上诸国民族政策的探讨,并展现了众多学者在研究中发掘出的对制定中国民族政策具有启示作用的地方。     

Negotiating Compliance: The Case of Autonomous Hospitals in Vietnam

Maternal death is one of the highest causes of global mortality. Governments have long used regulation to improve maternal health but concurrent fiscal‐decentralisation reforms can undermine clinical performance. This article focuses on public Vietnamese hospitals to explore how regulatory compliance is pursued in decentralised health facilities, since Vietnam has seen increasing autonomisation of public hospitals in the last decade while simultaneously experiencing marked reductions in the maternal mortality ratio. Our analysis suggests that autonomisation has allowed regional regulatory regimes to emerge and that regulatory compliance must compete with other priorities. Compliance can therefore be rethought as a negotiation having implications for how government and maternal health advocates persuade self‐sufficient hospitals to take on wider health‐system goals.
