Life satisfaction,ethnicity and neighbourhoods: Is there an effect of neighbourhood ethnic composition on life satisfaction?

Immigrants and ethnic minorities tend to have lower life satisfaction than majority populations. However, current understanding of the drivers of these gaps is limited. Using a rich, nationally representative data set with a large sample of ethnic minorities and matched neighbourhood characteristics, we test whether first and second generation minorities experience lower life satisfaction once accounting for compositional differences and whether, specifically, neighbourhood deprivation impacts their wellbeing. We further investigate whether a larger proportion of own ethnic group in the neighbourhood improves satisfaction. We find life satisfaction is lower among ethnic minorities, and especially for the second generation, even controlling for individual and area characteristics. Neighbourhood concentration of own ethnic group is, however, associated with higher life satisfaction for Black Africans and UK born Indians and Pakistanis. The effect for Black Africans may stem from selection into areas, but findings for Indians and Pakistanis are robust to sensitivity tests.     

The role of the school library: reflections from Sweden

Libraries are critical learning spaces and may play a significant role in intercultural education initiatives, particularly in Sweden where the national curriculum ascribes central functions to libraries for learning activities. Unfortunately, the ways in which teachers and librarians may collaborate to leverage mutual resources is not fully understood. This article uses Pirjo Lahdenperä’s model of intercultural education development to consider the case of a small school library in a highly diverse urban neighbourhood. Although public libraries in Scandinavia can support intercultural educational values by addressing individual needs and complementing curriculum-based teaching, the development of new teaching practices requires additional guidance as well as institutional support.     

促进知识管理的人力资源管理策略

知识管理已经成为组织获取核心竞争力的重要手段之一。文章紧紧围绕“人”这一因素,先阐述了知识和知识管理的基本概念,然后分析了“人”与知识管理的关系,在此基础上提出了促进知识管理的人力资源管理策略。这些策略可以为知识管理和人力资源管理的高层管理团队提供决策依据和参考。     

社会主义市场经济中的剥削问题

股权多元化在我国开始出现,资本报酬不能再被看作是剥削行为,发达资本主义国家科层组织的出现,使劳动可以分享税后利润。我国现代企业和私营企业中的资本报酬也不能看作剥削,社会主义市场经济条件下存在两种剥削形式。     

中国电视步入人本时代

伴随经济的发展和电子技术的日趋成熟,面对电视观众的分流,各频道间的竞争,电视正由传统的单向传播转为双向互动传播,步入了电视传播的人本时代。这种变化突出地表现在新闻播报方式的变革,电视节目的多元化和节目内容的人文化。这种变革为电视荧屏注入了勃勃生机,也造成了部分电视节目的低俗和粗糙,这种倾向值得人们警醒。

改革人事管理制度 加强高校人力资源管理

高校人事制度的改革是优化人力资源管理的关键 ,为解决以往教师队伍结构不尽合理、职工队伍庞大等制度问题 ,要深化用人制度改革。优化人力资源配置 ,具体说应该解放思想、更新观念、依法治校 ,加强教师队伍的制度建设 ,建立干部的优胜劣汰机制 ,实现后勤服务人员社会化     

光分集接收中的孔径效应

激光束通过湍流大气后在接收平面上的通量密度相关状况是光分集接收的设计基础。本文讨论了接收天线孔径平滑效应对空间相关性的影响。我们认为孔径平滑效应将增加通量密度的相关距离,但在光斑范围内,仍存在空间不相关的子域,所以分集接收技术仍可用来改善信号质量。实验证实了这一推断,并证实了空间分集接收技术在改善光信号质量方面有很大的潜力。     

Diversity,civic virtues and ecological austerity

A single global culture and a unique set of world institutional arrangements, based on an ever-increasing consumption of natural resources and environmental pollution is not sustainable nor can be sustained. In this paper some key ideological and moral com­ponents of the urgently required changes towards a culture of sustainability are examined, together with the implications, difficulties and requirements for its embodiment both in individual practices and in social institutions. In particular, it is argued that the values and attitudes which promote the protection and integration of diversity—both cultural and biological—and restrain the current trends in natural resource consumption and environmental pollution are to be developed by the citizenry if global societies are to survive. In the domains of political participation, rational dialogue and civic virtue, sustainability is akin to the inherited republican ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. Sustainability must now become an indispensable fourth moral pillar in the structuration of society and, in particular, in the coming world republican polity, which will necessarily take account of the diversity of cultures and institutions. It is shown that, otherwise, the now developing unsustainable global society would otherwise cease to exist.     

发展权应成为当代法制保障的重点

近代的个人权利本位观、现代的社会权利本位观都存在很大缺陷,发展权由于自身具有的优势,决定其应成为当代法制保障的重点对象。文章同时提出了发展权法制保障的基本原则:平等性保障原则、权力能动性原则、尊重生态自然的原则。
