国内一流与国际化发展战略——广东白云学院的办学成就及展望

伴随着中国改革开放的进程,中国大陆高等职业教育自上世纪八九十年代从无到有,从小到大迅猛发展,成长为中国高等教育的半壁江山,对经济社会人才建设和智力支撑作出了重要的贡献。期间,民办高等职业教育也得到长足发展。广东白云学院是其中佼佼者,在五六年间形成自身的办学特色和优势,发展成为一所中国大陆知名的一流高等职业技术学院。高等职业教育根据自身成长以及适应经济社会转型,特别是中国加入WTO的要求,开始意识到必须走国际化道路,接轨现代国际职业教育,融入全球职业教育体系,开展全方位国际交流合作,培养全球化专业人才。而这一追求与高等职业教育全球化、一体化进程是一致的。

Differences in white-nonwhite community mental health center service utilization patterns

Routinely collected computerized data were used to study the process of service delivery in terms of admission patterns, type and quantity of services rendered, and status at termination for whites and nonwhites in two community mental health centers. Social area analysis techniques were employed to control for socio-economic status, ethnicity and life style variables, and an epidemiologic model was used to analyze admission and service delivery rate differences. It was found that nonwhite admission rates were at least twice as great as white rates. Service delivery rates to the population at large were considerably greater for nonwhites than for whites. Delivery of direct services within the centers differed for whites and nonwhites, but no consistent trends emerged when types and amounts of services rendered were analyzed, controlling for sex, ethnicity, age, diagnosis and social area. Disruption of care indices were greater for nonwhites than for whites. Highlighted were some of the complexities involved in interpreting results of utilization studies.     

Program analysis using the client oriented cost outcome system.

The client oriented cost outcome system has been under development in Pennsylvania community and hospital programs since 1972. The system builds upon the behavioral and decision data generated with or on behalf of consumers. Flexibility for local program system design is permitted if the procedures of consumer intake, review, and termination document each consumer's (a) problems, resources, and goals, (b) overall functioning level in their ordinary community, and (c) services intended and rendered as related to (a), above. While the system's primary application is in providing feedback for local program quality assurance and evaluation procedures, aggregation of data permits program planning and evaluation at county, state, and federal levels in terms of (a) client demographic or diagnostic characteristics, and (b) program service characteristics and objectives.     

The utilization of prevailing evaluation policy in the selection of performance measures

This study considers the problem of inferring a functional evaluation criterion from existing performance measure policies. The objective is to develop a rational basis by which to adaptively evaluate a current best set of performance measures from alternative sets. The analysis is based on a matrix approach for relating system characteristics to performance measures across a set of activities. A procedure for ranking measure combinations which are candidate implementation alternatives is devised using this matrix representation and cost information. An example illustrating the procedure is presented.     

Pragmatic decisions in the evaluation of consumer satisfaction with mental health treatment

This article examines pragmatic choices which must be made in conducting consumer satisfaction assessment of mental health treatment. It is argued that choices involving sample, format, and procedure for examining satisfaction may influence the results of such research, and must be considered when creating or evaluating these efforts. These choices are examined in detail.     

Evaluating employee assistance programs. A review of methods, outcomes, and future directions

Renewed interest in assisting troubled employees has led to an upsurge in the development of employee assistance programs, coupled with demands for demonstrable effectiveness. This review examines the nature and scope of these programs, their administrative and methodological context, and the types and outcomes of evaluation studies conducted thus far. Proposals for improving future investigations through a number of different approaches and strategies are then made.     

Group Benefit and Protection of Pediatric Research Subjects: Grimes v. Kennedy Krieger and the Lead Abatement Study

The Maryland Court of Appeals in Grimes v. Kennedy Krieger Institute was sharply critical of the lead abatement study conducted by this Institute, an affiliate of Johns Hopkins University. Grimes ruled that investigators might, given the facts of the case, have a special relationship with subjects, thereby creating a duty of care that could, if breached, give rise to an action in negligence. This ruling has implications for pediatric research practices and long-standing disputes among informed people of good will about what pediatric studies should be permitted.     

“波特假说”的人力资本条件分析与检验

“波特假说”预言环境保护和经济发展可以实现双赢。研究认为,人力资本是实现环境友好型技术进步以及环境-经济综合绩效提升的支撑和匹配条件,亦即人力资本是“波特假说”成立的重要条件变量。实证结果显示:人力资本水平对环境-经济综合绩效存在直接的正向影响,且在东部和中部地区较为显著;全样本估计中环境规制对环境-经济综合绩效直接影响不显著,而人力资本可以改善环境规制的影响效应,间接作用于环境-经济综合绩效;进一步依据人力资本水平的分组检验,证实“波特假说”在人力资本水平较高地区的成立性,人力资本对环境-经济综合绩效的直接和间接影响均显著,验证了人力资本是“波特假说”成立条件这一分析结论。“新常态”下,应加强人力资本积累,健全人力资本流动机制,并依据地区人力资本条件科学实施环境规制,才能推动环境-经济综合绩效稳步提升。
