Global Health Interventions and the “Common Sense” of Neoliberalism: A Dialectical Analysis of PEPFAR

Abstract

Neoliberal ideologies, implicated in increasing global inequality, have significantly influenced how global health interventions are conceived and executed. In this article, we take a critical stance towards the market-based impetus of neoliberalism as articulated in the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the largest comprehensive effort against the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. Using a variety of PEPFAR policy documents, our analysis points to the operation of a neoliberal “common sense” that provides a justification for intervention. Our analysis resulted in three themes: (a) the body as labor, (b) the gendering of the intervention, and (c) political economies of partnerships.

助学贷款的不同目标--对贷款的设计、评价及政策可能产生的影响

本文对世界各地助学贷款的不同目标作了简要的回顾和评论 ,着重论述了两种不同目标取向的助学贷款之间的差异 :第一类助学贷款追求经济目标 ,如贷款的设立是为了促进高等教育的成本补偿 ,为紧张的大学财政获取额外财源 ;第二类助学贷款追求社会目标 ,如设立贷款的目的是为了增进高等教育入学机会均等 ,帮助更多贫困家庭的学生上大学。以经济目标为导向的助学贷款一般不含政府补贴 ,以社会目标为导向的助学贷款可能享受政府的补贴 ,但需要对贷款对象进行认真仔细的确认。文章最后指出 ,助学贷款的设计和评价必须考虑到贷款政策的目标。

多主体参与新型研发机构开放式创新研究:战略生态位管理视角

本文运用战略生态位管理(SNM)理论,探究构建多主体参与的新型研发机构开放式创新模式,形成多元化创新资源网络,为社会创新管理及其发展提供新的视角。文章基于SNM理论,从新型研发机构与社会网络交互的角度出发,对新型研发机构的技术研发及成果转化的全过程、开放式创新实践与创新机理、创新主体及不同程度创新模式的特征这5个方面进行深入系统的分析,强调多元创新主体之间的协同联动,为新型研发机构营造良好的内外部创新环境,同时通过对比不同主体参与的开放式创新模式,发现多主体参与的完全开放式创新模式下能实现创新收益最大化。     

The Impact of More,Better, Faster,Cheaper: How the PCC Influenced Everything That Followed

Abstract

The beginnings and the early years of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) had a profound impact on the approach taken to cataloging in North America and around the world. The commitment to standards, cooperation, and expanded access also had an impact that went far beyond cataloging operations. One library dean traces the evolution of her vision and contemplates how the PCC’s principles have shaped her entire career and have affected the libraries in which she has worked.     

基于Sentinel-1/2的水体提取方法对比研究——以斯里兰卡小型水体为例

地表水面精确提取是研究地表水质和水量变化的重要基础。斯里兰卡是"21世纪海上丝绸之路"的重要参与国，年降雨量丰富，但时空分布不均，斯里兰卡人民长期用水困难，研究斯里兰卡地表水体有助于斯里兰卡民生问题的解决。斯里兰卡国内散布着大量的小型水库和坑塘，这些小面积水体易受周边环境因素影响而提取困难。基于2017年7月斯里兰卡中东部地区的哨兵（Sentinel）1/2号卫星影像，对比分析单波段法、水体指数法和监督分类等水体提取方法的精度和存在的问题。结果表明，归一化水体指数法NDWI的准确率最高，分类精度达94%。     

Conversations about death with those who experience it the most

Using Communication Privacy Management (CPM), this study analyzed Emergency Healthcare Providers (EHP; i.e., Emergency Room Nurses, Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians, etc.) frequent experience of witnessing death, the dying processes, and regular involvement at the end-of-life. Twenty interviews from across the United States offered accounts of witnessing the death of a patient, communicating with the patient’s families, coworkers, and personal networks. The first research question explored the population’s normalization of death and changed outlook of dying. This population sees death and dying in real-time and must disconnect at the moment from their emotions to do their jobs. The second research question focused on preparing patient families for death, coping with coworkers, and protecting personal networks. In communicating with patient families, EHP educates/answers questions, advocate for families to be present during life-saving procedures and offer verbal and nonverbal comfort. In talking with coworkers, EHP copes with reassuring skill competency and offering emotional social support. Lastly, in communicating with their networks, EHP struggle with discussing emotions and event details in a protective function. From these results, the benefits, and challenges of communicating about death regularly are offered through a CPM lens, and recommendations to help the general population deal with death are given.
