衔接 连贯与阅读理解

衔接是语篇特征的重要内容.尽管语义上连贯的语篇可以没有形式上的衔接纽带,但在大多数自然出现的语篇中是存在衔接纽带的,这些纽带不仅会增强语篇的连贯性,而且对阅读理解有着很大的帮助作用.分析衔接与阅读的关系以及如何应用照应、替代、省略、连接和词汇衔接纽带促进并加深对语篇的理解.     

大学生课外科技活动的实践探索

大学生课外科技活动是科技素质教育的重要环节。其重要性和现实针对性在于,科技知识不等于科学素质,知识与创新能力是不同概念,科学素质(思维、方法、精神、创新能力)均靠后天养成,而第二课堂是重要形式和途径。活动主要内容包括科技报告、科技阅读和科技实践。应成立领导小组或指导中心,学分制管理规定增加“科技活动”项目,建立激励机制并保证运作经费,以建章立制;并努力形成团组织牵头,院(系)据专业特点独立运作,大学生科协自发组织的工作格局;推进大学生课外科技活动的制度化与实践的丰富多样性。

Unaddressed problems and research perspectives in scheduling blood collection from donors

Many optimisation problems arise in managing the Blood Donation (BD) supply chain. Most of them have been addressed in the literature, while other problems, e.g. donation scheduling, have not been sufficiently addressed so far. However, blood collection from donors may have a disruptive impact on the entire BD supply chain if not properly managed. For example, scheduling donation appointments based on some system metrics may improve the flow of blood units through the BD supply chain and increase the quality of service perceived by donors. In this short communication, we present the donation scheduling problem and highlight the lack of work in the literature that deals with this problem. Then, we analyse the impact of an unbalanced flow of blood units on the BD system and the benefits that may derive from a suitable appointment scheduling. Finally, we propose suggestions for future research in BD collection scheduling that may improve the BD process.     

Social networks and the organisation of big business groups in post New Economic Policy (NEP) era in the 1990s in Malaysia

Personal ties are generally regarded as important to big business growth in Malaysia, particularly after the New Economic Policy (NEP) in the 1990s. Common types are informal ones established between multi-ethnic big business people and Malay key state and political leaders. Other types of ties, company directorship links and informal ties, are seldom studied especially those between the business people and former state bureaucrats and corporate professionals. Thus, by conceptualising the directorship links and informal personal ties as social networks, the author conducted a sociological analysis of some intra- and inter-ethnic directorship links and ties established by four prominent big businessmen after the NEP in the 1990s. This article reports the main finding on the links and ties becoming a common organisational mechanism of business groups owned and controlled by the businessmen, besides providing access to the state. Therefore, another understanding of inter- and intra-ethnic personal ties in big business growth, especially after the NEP is achieved.     

“密切联系群众”的本质与价值——从马克思主义经典作家的视角看

密切联系群众是工人阶级政党执政的优势。马克思主义经典作家善于密切联系群众的思想是我们深入研究和实践群众观点、群众路线的重要出发点。马克思、恩格斯、列宁等关于党的政策与群众需求相一致、党的组织与群众组织相协调、党的理论引导与群众的自觉意识相和谐、党的实践与群众监督相结合的思想内涵,对我们开展群众路线教育实践活动,加强党风廉政建设,进而提高党的凝聚力、战斗力、领导力具有重要启示。     

The impact of managerial political ties on corporate governance and debt financing: Evidence from Ghana

In this study, we draw upon insights from agency theory to examine the impact of managerial political ties on cost of debt and also to explore whether corporate governance mediates this impact. We hypothesize that political ties reduce financial reporting quality, disclosure of non-financial information and board independence, and are therefore associated with higher interest rates. We also hypothesize that the negative effect of political ties on the cost of debt will be stronger if firms borrow from privately-owned banks versus government-owned banks. Using data from Ghana, we find support for our direct and moderation hypotheses; political ties are associated with high interest rates and poor corporate governance. However, we do not find evidence of mediation. Altogether, the findings reveal the dark side of political connections and highlight the cost of political embeddedness in emerging credit markets.     

Who “Fills in” for Siblings and How? A Multilevel Analysis of Personal Network Composition and Its Relationship to Sibling Size1

In the midst of widespread fertility decline, I examine the relationship between sibling number and support network composition using multilevel regression on data from 25 countries. A fundamental structural effect of having fewer siblings is that individuals have a smaller pool of available close‐kin alters with whom to construct support networks. Consequently, networks of people with fewer siblings should be composed of different sorts of relations. Results confirm that such compositional adjustment occurs in systematic ways. Compared to those with three or more siblings, adults with none to two siblings (as separate categories) are more likely to expect support from parents, extended kin, and close friends but not more likely to do so from spouses/partners and children. Single children are also more likely to include neighbors and have smaller‐sized and/or impersonal networks. These findings contradict the primacy of familial ties in social support networks. Moreover, adjustment of support networks towards nonsibling ties occurs in culturally expected ways. Those with fewer siblings are generally only more likely to turn to ties for the types of support typically associated with those relations—parents for instrumental and financial support and friends for emotional support. Single children, however, also violate institutionalized expectations of social support by turning to ties for a wider range of social support. The results suggest that continuing declines in fertility could bring about both reinforcement and rearticulation of the sociocultural framing of close personal relationships. Moreover, consistent with recent research, the results show that personal networks are influenced more by individual‐level than country‐level factors.
