走出"科技伦理"的误区

"科技伦理"在实践上是行不通的.它无视个体主体与社会主体在实践职能上的异质性,把本该由社会主体甚至类主体所承担的社会伦理责任强加于科技工作者个体主体的头上;它抹杀了伦理学的阶级性质,忽视了"主体际性"或"交往"对于科技主体的引导和制约作用;它是批判科技决定论形式下的变相的科技决定论,过高估计了科学技术及其主体对人类历史同时也是实践史的作用和影响,从而问接否认了唯物主义的"历史合力论".科技的社会伦理取向只能导致科技的停滞甚至被取消,这对于科学技术本身以及人类的生存和发展恰恰是非人道的、不伦理的,这就是"科技伦理"的悖论.     

Convexity-based clustering criteria: theory,algorithms, and applications in statistics

This paper deals with the construction of optimum partitions of for a clustering criterion which is based on a convex function of the class centroids as a generalization of the classical SSQ clustering criterion for n data points. We formulate a dual optimality problem involving two sets of variables and derive a maximum-support-plane (MSP) algorithm for constructing a (sub-)optimum partition as a generalized k-means algorithm. We present various modifications of the basic criterion and describe the corresponding MSP algorithm. It is shown that the method can also be used for solving optimality problems in classical statistics (maximizing Csiszárs -divergence) and for simultaneous classification of the rows and columns of a contingency table.     

On rates of convergence to infinitely divisible laws for dependent random variables

Large O and small o approximations of the expected value of a class of functions (modified K-functional and Lipschitz class) of the normalized partial sums of dependent random variables by the expectation of the corresponding functions of infinitely divisible random variables have been established. As a special case, we have obtained rates of convergence to the Stable Limit Laws and to the Weak Laws of Large Numbers. The technique used is the conditional version of the operator method of Trotter and the Taylor expansion.     

Wenn die Business-Partnerschaft zur Qual wird Coaching eines Führungsduals

When a business partnership becomes a pain With this article, the author illustrates the process of coaching between the two partners of a consulting firm. Due to interpersonal and factual conflicts, there was no common strategy of the two partners. The analysis of the situation showed a different cultural approach towards problem solving, different stakes in their partnership and actual as well as past personal conflicts. All the possible models, which were developed with the two partners, to bridge the gap failed because of the personal interests. The work process was made more transparent. Finally there was positively decided on a plan to split the partnership internally without breaking up the company.     

Was kosten Kliniken? Zur Weiterentwicklung des Krankenhaussektors am Beispiel Berlins

The costs of hospitals. Developments of the German hospital sector evaluated in the case of Berlin This article illustrates the development of the German hospital sector evaluated in the case of the capital Berlin. Due to the difficult economic situation of the hospital sector after the reunification major reforms became unavoidable. Especially a reduction of the average days of stay per case created overcapacities of personell. But all the reforms which have been taken during the last years had to consider the major role of the hospital sector for the labour market of the city. On the one hand the article shows, that the reforms of the nineties have been successful also with regard to the important role for the labour market. On the other hand the restructuring of the hospital sector is not finished yet, there is still a need for further reforms.     

Die Implementierung des Qualitätsmanagements in sozialen Einrichtungen

The implementation of quality management in social organizations. An evaluation of the results The article presents the results of an evaluation of the introduction prozess of the quality management in social organizations. In particular it illustrates the grounds of the specific features and differences of the participation procedures in this process. A prerequisite for a success is the bottom up procedere that recognizes and uses the resources, competencies and functions of the employees and managers. A formal optimizing of the operational processes will not induce a reorientation. If it does not succeed to internalize new approaches on the basis of a longterm learning process, the quality management will remain a paper and it will fail.     

Qualitätsmanagement: Entwicklung,Problemfelder und ein integrativer Lösungsvorschlag

Quality Management: History, problems and an integrative modelStarting with a critical examination of the history and the commonly known concepts and systems of Quality Management, the paper discusses a broader understanding of quality in a genuinely managerial perspective. This is shown by generating and applying five basic dimensions of the quality concept. An integrative concept of Quality Management is presented.     

Übertragung und Gegenübertragung in der Supervision Eine Auseinandersetzung mit Bernd Oberfhoff

Transference and counter-transference in supervision. A discussion with Bernd Oberhoff The autor demonstrates in a discussion with the new important monograph about ?Transference and Counter-transference in Supervision“ by Bernd Oberhoff: This significant technique of the psychoanalytical approach must be fundamentally transformed regarding an application in supervision. But in consequence this technique loses her previous utility. This is the tragedy of this approach.
