官僚制与现代民主政治

由于英语中"官僚制"一词的复杂含义,历史上众多的专家学者从不同的角度给予其重视和研究,出现了官僚制研究的"理论丛林"现象,并对"官僚制"这个概念赋予强烈的感情色彩和难以把握的内涵。文章拟从民主和效率两种价值取向概括和分析与官僚制问题密切相关的理论。     

欧洲跨区域性公共部门服务绩效评奖机制研究与启示

国家公务员考录政策的性别平等分析

性别平等是公务员考录制度设计的一项基本考量,既是完善公务员制度的基本要求,也是实现男女平等的现实需要。公务员录用中的性别平等需要通过性别公平来实现,具体包括性别中立、性别差异和性别倾斜等三种策略。究竟采用哪一种策略,取决于人们对男女间在能力、需求等方面的性别差异的认识。当前的学术研究并未在整体上提供关于公务员能力是否存有性别差异,以及在哪些方面、何种程度上存有性别差异的有效支持性论据。这就决定了性别中立应当成为公务员考录制度设计的基本原则。     

A longitudinal study of depressiveness in children in public care

Rajhvajn Bulat L. A longitudinal study of depressiveness in children in public care Int J Soc Welfare 2010: 19: 412–423 © 2009 The Author, Journal compilation © 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the International Journal of Social Welfare. The aim of this article is to analyse the challenges involved when making longitudinal observations of depressiveness in children raised in public care. The first measurement comprised 375 children from children's homes and foster families; however, most of the results are based on an analysis of the 139 children who participated in both parts of the research. We used the Child Depression Inventory and the anxiety/depression subscales of Youth Self Report and Child Behaviour Checklist as measures of depressiveness. The comparison of results from the first and second measurements showed that depressiveness in children in public care decreased over time. Children who grew up in children homes were, in the first measurement, more depressed than those living in foster families, but after five years that difference had disappeared. Furthermore, decrease in depressiveness is predominantly associated with less frequent delinquent, aggressive or hyperactive behaviour, less withdrawal and better control over uncomfortable emotions.

舆论未必是多数人的意见

舆论未必是多数人的意见。从词义上看 ,舆论的主体可能是一定范围内的多数人 ,也可能不是 ,只不过人数比较多而罢了 ,但是人数多未必等于多数人。从逻辑上看 ,在一定范围内只能有一个多数 ,但是社会上对同一个问题往往出现两种或两种以上的舆论。此外 ,把舆论定为多数人的意见在社会实践中还会陷入难以解决的困境。因此 ,对舆论主体的数量表述不妨模糊一些 ,在实际工作中则既要重视多数人的意见 ,也不能忽视占相当数量的少数人的意见     

Workforce localization in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: issues and challenges

Despite some progress, the issue of equality at work remains more of an aspiration than achievement for organizations in developed economies across the world. In the UK, the debate on equality at work has been rekindled with a Labour government taking office, in 1997, with a commitment to equality generally and for women specifically. Fuelling the debate is the notion of managing diversity, which has emanated from the USA in recent years. This article seeks to explore the current nature of equality at work in the UK and gauge if managing diversity is in any way manifest in current organizational approaches to equality management. The exploration is rooted in four case-study organizations and is conducted through the lens of key organizational stakeholders. Beyond exposing the contemporary nature of equality at work in the case-study organizations, the empirical work allows the issues involved in the implementation of managing diversity in the UK context to be signalled.     

TWO-PASS CUSUM TO IDENTIFY AGE-CLUSTER OUTBREAKS

The paper introduces a two-pass adaptive cumulative sum (CUSUM) statistic to identify age clusters (age grouping) that significantly contribute to epidemics or unusually high counts. If epidemiologists know that an epidemic is confined to a narrow age group, then this information not only makes it clear where to target the epidemiological effort but also helps them decide whether to respond. It is much easier to control an epidemic that starts in a narrow age range of the population, such as pre-school children, than an epidemic that is not confined demographically or geographically.
