Changing methods of disclosure. Literature review of disclosure to children with terminal illnesses,including HIV

More than 30 years after the first discovery of the deadly HIV virus, and in the wake of increased knowledge of transmission, treatment and behavioral intervention development, parents are still faced with the difficult task of whether, when and how to inform their child about her or his HIV status. Except for some general ethical considerations, there are no national or international guidelines available for handling HIV status disclosure to a child by parents and health professionals. Most studies on disclosure address the problem of stigma and the barriers to disclosure of HIV-positive status by adults to their sexual partners, caretakers, families and communities, but very few studies focus on disclosure to HIV-positive children. The majority of the studies that address disclosure to children limit themselves to stipulating reasons for barriers to such disclosure instead of the skills and knowledge necessary for effective disclosure to a child. Increasing availability of therapy for HIV across the world presses the issue of disclosure to the child. Even so, disclosure for children who are HIV-positive due to vertical transmission continues to be very difficult. There is a lack of interventions that consider guidelines for healthcare professionals, parents or persons involved with taking care of HIV-positive children. These interventions should be designed in an understanding manner towards the culture where they might be implemented and be as appropriate in the view of integrating different family structures and the child's development.     

The Gendered Implications of Corporate Value Change

Using case study evidence of a local authority and a building society this article explores the gendered implications of corporate value change programmes and how these are mediated by the types of equality agendas in place at the organizational level. The article explores the gendered impact of new corporate values by identifying how the organizations' changing approach to selection and career development has unintended gendered consequences, affecting different groups in the organization depending on the specific department they are working in and their seniority. As the two organizations follow different equality agendas the data allow us to show the ways in which specific approaches to equality in organizations both shape and are shaped by corporate value change programmes. It is argued that corporate value change programmes have uneven gendered implications, depending on the specific context in which they are introduced and in particular, the ways in which managers and employees make sense of these by both rejecting and reinforcing existing equality agendas already in place.

股票期权在中国上市公司的适用性研究

目前,西方发达国家普遍采用股票期权作为对公司经理人及员工的激励措施,并取得相当大的成功。本文着眼于股票期权制度在中国上市公司的适用性,以上市公司的股票价格与公司经营绩效为变量,选取沪深300统一指数中最具市场代表性的13个行业的175家上市公司为样本,借助excel的统计功能计算两变量间的相关系数。据此得出结论:对中国上市公司而言,股票期权激励尚不能发挥对经理人的激励作用。     

运输性及运输性工程

运输性是产品的固有属性和设计属性。产品、运输条件及运输环境构成一个有机系统。运用系统分析的理论和方法,分析了运输性对机动性及寿命周期费用的影响,研究了影响产品运输性的因素,结果表明提高产品运输性的最佳时机是在研制阶段。运输性工程即是在产品研制过程中,明确运输性要求,进行运输性设计和分析,权衡各种设计方案,实施运输性试验,评估运输性指标,通过反复迭代,改进产品或产品系统,以实现产品与运输条件及运输环境之间的最佳匹配。
