Mentorship experiences during registrar training: reflections of Black African specialists in the Western Cape

In order to meet the significant staffing challenges to health care provision in South Africa, the need to support the training and retention of Black medical specialists has been identified. This small qualitative study aimed to explore experiences of mentorship among a group of Black medical specialists in hopes of understanding the value and potential challenges that these relationships raise. Ten Black medical specialists were interviewed about their experiences of being mentored during their registrar training. The interview data was analysed using discourse analysis, and the results comprise of three main themes, namely: Difficulty accessing mentorship, a lack of Black and/or female role models and finally, experiences of feeling excluded from soft networks. The experiences explored in this study indicate the need for open dialogue within the mentorship dyad regarding certain taken-for-granted assumptions surrounding race, so as to aid the provision of more effective and satisfying mentorship outcomes.     

Maternal and paternal reactions to child sadness predict children's psychosocial outcomes: A family‐centered approach

Parents' reactions to children's emotions shape their psychosocial outcomes. Extant research on emotion socialization primarily uses variable‐centered approaches. This study explores family patterns of maternal and paternal responses to children's sadness in relation to psychosocial outcomes in middle childhood. Fifty‐one families with 8‐ to 12‐year‐old children participated. Mothers and fathers reported their reactions to children's sadness and children's social competence and psychological adjustment. Cluster analyses revealed three family patterns: Supportive (high supportive and low non‐supportive reactions from both parents), Not Supportive (low supportive reactions from both parents), and Father Dominant (high paternal supportive and non‐supportive reactions, low maternal supportive and non‐supportive reactions). Supportive families had children with higher social competence and more internalizing symptoms whereas Father Dominant families had children with lower social competence and fewer internalizing symptoms. Not Supportive families had children with average social competence and fewer internalizing symptoms. Findings are discussed in relation to the “divergence model” which proposes that a diverse range of parental responses to children's sadness, rather than a uniformly supportive approach, may facilitate children's psychosocial adjustment.     

载体催化元件恒温检测甲烷浓度的研究

基于载体催化元件检测甲烷浓度的基本原理,提出了采用载体催化元件和参比元件组成惠斯登测量电桥,运用温度自动控制系统达到恒定甲烷无焰燃烧温度,实现甲烷浓度的测量。扩展了采用载体催化元件测量甲烷浓度时的测量范围,减轻了催化剂的高温烧结和挥发现象,延长了载体催化元件的使用寿命。并建立了相应的温度自动控制和甲烷浓度测量的数学模型。

基于核心能力的企业过程再造

阐述了企业过程再造(BPR)和核心能力的内涵及本质,分析了核心过程与核心能力二者之间的关系,指出企业过程再造不能脱离核心能力这一本质,BPR本质上应该是基于核心能力的再造。给出了基于核心能力实施BPR的6个具体步骤:即识别核心能力,识别核心过程,定义经营业绩,找出问题,确定方案和实施方案。     

奇正相生 意趣盎然——当代西方建筑赏析

当代西方一些著名的建筑大师时常在自己的作品中运用斜向构图要素插入到方正的网络之中,并借正和斜的强烈对比而取得意想不到的效果。这种手法不仅有悖于我国传统的审美观念,而且就是在西方传统的建筑构图法则中也不多见。本文就具有代表性的作品作深入细致的分析,以期阐明这种方法的运用是如何赋予作品以生机和活力的。应放手吸取西方当代建筑师行之有效的观念与方法,以使建筑创作更富有时代性。
