知识经济背景下澳大利亚博士培养形式多样化研究

当前澳大利亚博士教育领域出现了一个新的特征:博士培养形式多样化。除了通过传统的毕业论文获得博士学位之外,校外哲学博士、专业博士学位、企业参与培养博士以及与国外大学合作培养博士等几种新兴的博士培养方式也获得了较快的发展。本文详细研究了澳大利亚博士培养形式多样化的表现,对其原因进行了归纳和分析,同时指出了影响博士培养形式多样化发展的主要障碍,最后在知识经济背景下对博士培养形式多样化进行了探讨。      

Implementing solutions to barriers to on-site HIV testing in substance abuse treatment: A tale of three facilities

Due to the scarcity of resources for implementing rapid onsite HIV testing, many substance abuse treatment programs do not offer these services. This study sought to determine whether addressing previously identified implementation barriers to integrating on-site rapid HIV testing into the treatment admissions process would increase offer and acceptance rates. Results indicate that it is feasible to integrate rapid HIV testing into existing treatment programs for substance abusers when resources are provided. Addressing barriers such as providing start-up costs for HIV testing, staff training, addressing staffing needs to reduce competing job responsibilities, and helping treatment staff members overcome their concerns about clients’ reactions to positive test results is paramount for the integration and maintenance of such programs.     

Population and housing

The analysis described here was carried out in response to a political crisis in Australia. In 1994, a Member of Parliament who opposed the use of foreign aid funds for family planning programs blocked the passage of the national budget. The impasse was resolved through a compromise. The use of foreign assistance for population activities was frozen pending an independent inquiry into the impact of population on economic development. A team of nine researchers prepared background papers on population and economic development, health, education, food supply, housing, poverty, the environment, family planning, and human rights. The overall conclusion of the inquiry was that slower population growth will yield more rapid development in most countries, especially in relatively poor, agricultural nations. The purpose of this contribution to the inquiry was to assess how population growth was affecting the housing sector and, in turn, economic development. Among other questions, does population growth increase the demand for residential land, housing, and urban infrastructure? Demographic methods were critical to answering the questions, especially assessing the impact of population growth on the demand for housing.     

Effects of federal programs on children: Absolute poverty, relative poverty, and income inequality

Since the 1996 welfare reform, federal spending on means-tested programs targeting the poorest children has decreased, while programs that benefit children in low-income working families have been expanded substantially. With this background, this study examined changes in the antipoverty and anti-inequality effects of children's programs between 1995 and 2007 using data from the Annual Social and Economic (ASEC) Supplements to the Current Population Survey (CPS). The findings suggest that although the poverty-reduction effects of the federal child programs increased between 1995 and 2007, the programs' effects on the reductions of children's absolute poverty gaps, relative poverty rates, relative poverty gaps, and income inequality all decreased. More importantly, the antipoverty effects of the federal child programs were most weakened for the poorest children (i.e., those in female-headed, immigrant, and nonworking families) between 1995 and 2007.     

Vehicle Procurement Policy for Humanitarian Development Programs

This article aims to identify optimal vehicle procurement policies for organizations engaged in humanitarian development programs and to derive general insights on the characteristics of these policies. Toward that end, we follow an inductive approach. First, we study the operations of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in three representative countries: Sudan, Afghanistan, and Ethiopia. Using a linear programming (LP) model primed with field data provided by the ICRC, we calculate the optimal vehicle fleet size and compare it with the policies actually implemented. Second, drawing from results of the LP model, we develop a stylized quadratic control model and use it to characterize the general structure of the optimal policy under different demand scenarios and operational constraints. After demonstrating that the results of the control model are consistent with those of the LP model in the specific context analyzed, we discuss the optimal policies and the applicability of the former as a practical tool for strategic asset planning.

研究生教育中学位授权学科体系建设的思考——以华南农业大学为例

学位授权点是研究生培养的重要载体,加强学位授权学科体系建设是研究生教育的关键环节之一。从研究生教育结构调整、学位授权点审核与评估方式转变、经济社会发展等方面分析了学位授权点建设面临的新形势;以华南农业大学为例,指出了学位授权学科体系存在着学位授权点布局相对单一、类型结构失衡、学科间及学科内部发展不平衡等问题;结合学校发展定位和研究生教育发展的基本思路,提出要结合经济社会发展的需求及研究生教育结构转型的背景,努力增加专业学位类型,整合资源,促进多学科协调发展,促进学位授权学科体系向内涵式发展。     

故事的迷恋与混淆的真实——电视节目故事化的原因与问题

故事性表达成为当前电视节目存在的常态。探其原因,首先是观众借助故事更方便获取和传播信息,还有基于好奇心、优越感之上的兴趣和心理期待;其次是节目生产者熟识故事模式,坚信光明的市场前景,对利润回报信心十足;再次是电视管理者借助故事建构意识形态,提高国家＂软实力＂的需要;最后是电视媒介传播的偏向性。但当故事与电视的结合难以同时满足或协调四者的要求时,故事的真实性就容易与观众的期待或感知产生错位与冲突,违背叙事契约,有意或无意混淆艺术真实与生活真实,影响电视文化的健康发展,危害电视文化的生态平衡。
