Evaluation von Coaching

Evaluation of executive coaching — an inquiry of coaches and clientsThe variables, the effects and the connection between variables and effects of executive coaching are examined in a questionnaire study with coaches and clients. The results show that executive coaching represents an effective intervention that positively affects both the client’s self-reflection and his/her behaviour. The client’s willingness to change and his/her intensity of suffering prove to be good predictors of success in achieving the desired effects. From the coach’s perspective these factors include the intelligibility of the coaching concept and a participative procedure. Additionally, the influence of the relationship on the coaching results is identified, resembling findings in psychotherapy research. Coach and client tend to agree with regard to their perception of the coaching process.     

公共卫生服务系统的效率评估

针对国内公共卫生服务系统目前尚缺少统一的综合评价方法,本文提出了相对效率评估法,并首次将数据包络分析法(DEA)应用于该评估法中.通过对医院相对效率的评估与分析,给出了我国两类医院——县级综合医院和乡镇中心卫生院在现阶段的最佳规模。     

Applicability of multiple matrix sampling to estimating effectiveness of educational programs

When evaluating the effectiveness of an educational program, a sampling strategy known as “multiple matrix sampling” is particularly effective and efficient when the goal of the evaluation is estimating group (as opposed to individual) performance. Although this technique involves sampling both program participants and items and, subsequently, different participants being assessed over different sets of items, the results may be used to estimate those which would have been obtained had all participants been administered all items. The technique is here described in some detail, with advantages and disadvantages discussed, and examples of its application are given.     

The development of evaluation as a profession: Current status and some predictions

Sociological models of professionalization are applied to recent events in program evaluation in order to understand the development of the field and to predict future events. The focus is on problems that might arise and on the necessity of ameliorating them. The possibility of eliminating such problems is discounted since they appear to be integral elements of the process of professionalization. Major elements of the analysis include discussions of the consequences of the development of a specialized body of evaluation knowledge, the definition of evaluation tasks, exclusivity in the performance of those tasks, the development of professional associations, and problems in the training of evaluators. The reasons for problems in these areas are presented and the importance of being aware of the origin of the problems is discussed.     

基于过程熵的供应商多元加工能力评价

在供应链管理中,当需要考察的供应商产品质量特性多于两个时,就需要对其多元加工过程的稳定性进行评定.利用信息熵原理和多元加工过程的抽样数据,首先计算得到单一质量特性加工过程的熵及其过程能力指数,然后基于熵权法,对单变量过程能力指数进行加权处理,从而得到多元加工过程能力指数的计算模型.为了减少单次抽样所带来的随机误差,利用Bootstrap再抽样技术,对多元过程能力指数的概率分布进行仿真模拟,获得了多元能力指数的经验分布及其大致的置信区间,为更有效地评价供应商多元质量特性加工能力提供了概率依据.最后以某汽车集团的曲轴供应过程过例,对三个候选供应商的多元加工过程进行评价和选择.     

《后出师表》相关史实考

对诸葛亮《后出师表》,人们提出各种置疑。《后表》叙事是否有史实根据,是其焦点之一。笔者考查有关文献后,提出以下看法：《后表》叙事与历史文献所载史实基本相合。其中有矛盾处,如：赵云卒年不合问题,是因为史籍记载时有错误;阳群等人事迹不另见于《三国志》等书,是因为史籍所存有限;祁连难以落实,是因为古今地名演变;李服、王服不分,是因为人名笔划讹错;南阳、乌巢、潼关,容易识别;北山、黎阳、巢湖,不易分辨;夏侯、关羽,事迹昭著;刘繇、王朗,资料隐晦。凡此各种情况,颇费斟酌。拨云见日,《后表》确为诸葛亮之作品。     

Self-Exclusion Program: A Longitudinal Evaluation Study

Few self-exclusion programs have been evaluated and their long-term impact remains unknown. This study has two main goals: (1) to assess changes in gambling behaviour and gambling problems for self-excluded patrons, and (2) to follow self-excluded gamblers for a two-year period (during and after the self-exclusion period). Individuals who excluded themselves (N = 161 at the initial stage) participated in telephone interviews after signing the self-exclusion agreement and were followed at 6, 12, 18 and 24-months. Results show that according to the DSM-IV, 73.1% of the participants were pathological gamblers. The self-exclusion program has many positive effects. During the follow-ups, the urge to gamble was significantly reduced while the perception of control increased significantly for all participants. The intensity of negative consequences for gambling was significantly reduced for daily activities, social life, work, and mood. The DSM score was significantly reduced over time. This reduction also took place between the baseline and the 6-month follow-up. The clinical implications of the results are discussed in relation to the effectiveness of the program. Suggestions are provided in order to increase compliance of self-excluded patrons.

拜占廷铸币研究中的某些误区

我国拜占延古币研究存在若干误区,首先,我国发现的拜占延金属货币以金币为主,但不能因此说拜占延人不使用银币和铜币,事实上,拜占廷社会日常生活中使用的主要是铜币。其次,拜占廷金币大多为金币,金币正背两面印模方向相对倒置不是铸币工人粗心造成的,而是拜占延金属币印模排列的常例。而拜占廷金币正面图像中舅甥同席,父子并立,甚至祖孙共坐的图像很常见。最后,鉴别拜占廷铸币时,不可就其重量、工艺、质量等方面任意制定鉴定标准,比较科学的方法是,参照目前世界主要拜占廷铸币收藏目录(或称大全),对各方面信息进行综合对照分析。
