Beyond ‘export education’: aspiring to put students at the heart of a university’s internationalisation strategy

For many universities around the world, internationalisation means the recruitment of fee-paying international students (so-called export education) for primarily commercial reasons. For UK universities, international (non-European Union) students account for approximately 13% of their annual revenues, making them highly dependent on international student recruitment. This paper discusses the attempt by one UK university to change direction and develop a new approach to internationalisation which puts an international learning experience for all students at the heart of its new strategic plan. It discusses the obstacles to changing direction in this way and shares some of the lessons learned about how to roll out an alternative university-wide internationalisation strategy.     

我国化学领域青年科技人才论文产出分析——以前5批青年千人为例

[目的/意义]目前，高层次人才引进已经成为我国提升科研实力的重要举措，考察人才引进后的论文产出情况，有助于掌握人才计划的实施效果。[方法/过程]文章通过Web of Science数据库下载题录信息，借助Bibexcel、CiteSpace和VOSViewer软件对前5批化学领域青年千人引进后发表论文的数量、结构、影响力、合作网络和基金支持情况进行分析。[结果/结论]研究发现，青年千人发表论文总数呈逐年上升趋势，论文平均被引高于化学领域国内和国际平均水平；存在若干已经形成规模的作者合作网络和机构合作网络，机构合作以国内机构合作为主；通过软件分析，青年千人研究的内容可以分为5个主要类别，分别是化学生物学、有机合成化学、新化学能源研究、高分子化学与物理、无机纳米材料；论文获得基金资助的水平高于全国论文项目资助的平均水平。研究提出通过建立合作网络、扩大合作网络规模，增加高影响力期刊发文数量，加强国际合作发表论文等建议提高中国化学研究的国际竞争力。     

The effect of context on student engagement in engineering

The self-belief, motivation, tendency to procrastinate and learning styles of engineering students are discussed. It is proposed that engineering has developed an idiom and a learning approach that favours the dominant client, i.e. men, while simultaneously undermining the self-efficacy and motivation of women. Thematic coherence and teaching within a context that is familiar to students have been shown previously to be effective approaches for engaging students and are extended here to utilise the common experiences of all students to initiate the learning cycle. These approaches are combined with a template for teaching that uses the 5Es (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate) in order to render the fundamentals of engineering more accessible to all students. This methodology can be introduced by individual instructors, who will be rewarded by students who are more engaged, more motivated and more likely to give a higher rating to the instructor and the course.     

中部高校海外人才引进工作思考

中部崛起,关键靠人才。当前,人才流失、引进难度大已成为制约中部高校发展的瓶颈。随着新一轮海归潮的来临,中部高校必须解放思想,采取超常规的举措,建立一套科学、完善的引进人才政策体系和考评机制,增强服务意识,努力确保海外人才引得来、用得好、留得住,发挥最大效益。     

冥想念动训练对肌肉力量增长的实验研究

目的:本研究应用冥想念动训练方法来提高运动员对肌群的协同控制能力,有效提高其完成运动动作时的力量。方法:16名受试者随机分成A、B两组。均进行负重屈肘练习,重量12RM,重复10次,每天3组,每组负重训练完成后,A组放松休息,B组平卧进行冥想念动训练,共训练30 d。采用美国产MERAC等速测力系统测试训练前后肱二头肌在各种收缩状态下的Peak Speed或Peak Torque来评价受试者的肌肉力量。结果:训练后,冥想念动训练的B组的等张收缩力量、等动收缩力量均要优于只进行常规训练的A组。而两组间等长收缩力量无统计学意义的差异。这可能是由于冥想念动训练方法有效地在受训者神经系统中固化了动作过程中撷抗肌的拉长或放松模式,从而明显地增加了受训者完成运动动作时原动肌与撷抗肌的合力的结果。

E-Government readiness index: A methodology and analysis

E-Government has received significant attention as digital technologies transcend private businesses and serve as a basic source of transformation in government functions. One most notable project is the United Nations Public Administration Network (UNPAN) that assesses the e-Government readiness of the 192 member nations according to a quantitative composite index involving website assessment, telecommunication infrastructure, and human resource endowment. However, the UNPAN index, though rich in depth and breadth of data collection, relies on a method that is a simple mathematical average of the values of the variables measured. This paper revisits the UNPAN index and proposes alternative indices based on principal components analysis (PCA). Using the UNPAN survey data, four different versions of the index are presented and the resulting rankings of the nations are examined vis-à-vis the existing ranking. The theoretical and policy implications of the proposed methodology and its results are discussed.
