A Comparison between Inspection Reports on the Management of School Attendance Throughout the Education Service

This is the first article to compare and contrast the outcomes of Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) reports on the management of school attendance issues in primary and secondary schools, out-of-school and local education authorities (LEA) provision. The findings indicate that schools and LEAs are judged using very strict criteria based on a school's or LEA's authorized or unauthorized rates of attendance, which are then compared with national norms, targets and Ofsted criteria. By contrast, out-of-school providers, often pupil referral units (PRUs), are given much more latitude despite their more obvious and serious attendance difficulties. This paper presents an insight into the reasons given by Ofsted inspectors for making either their positive or negative judgements on schools', PRUs' or LEAs' performances on the management of their attendance agenda. The implications of these findings are considered and conclusions drawn based on the evidence. Further research will be necessary to compare the findings in this paper with subsequent outcomes given the proposed changes with Ofsted's methodology and criteria for conducting its future inspections.

上市公司年度盈余持续性影响因素研究

盈余持续性是公司盈余质量的基本特征,高持续性盈余可使得历史会计数据更具有决策相关性。利润表上列示的毛利以及在毛利基础上扣除三项期间费用后的利润为决策者经常使用的盈余指标。在使用财务指标分析法、改进的财务指标分析法和ARIMA模型计量法计量以上两个指标持续性后,得到的结果显示:不同公司盈余持续性差异较大,这对持续性的计量方法不敏感;与在毛利基础上扣除三项期间费用后的利润指标相比,公司毛利具有更好的持续性,更少受到经济因素的影响。总体而言,公司财务杠杆对盈余持续性具有显著的负向影响;公司规模与资本密集度对盈余持续性存在正向作用,但是这两个因素的显著性取决于持续性测度的计算方法;而实际控制人性质对盈余持续性没有影响。

基于伦理学的大众媒体公信力探讨

计算机等应用通信技术的快速发展为网络媒体迅猛发展提供了平台,网络媒体与传统媒体之间的竞争也日趋激烈,大众得到和传播资讯的频道越来越多,但媒体的公信力却在下降,改变现状应从以下几个方面入手:以新闻真实性为基础,建立媒体的诚信价值体系;以媒体人应有的社会责任为基础,提高从业人员道德素质;以媒体行为的制度约束为基础,强化对媒体的监督力度;以规范行为为基础,提高媒体的舆论引导功能。     

《史记》中有关“秦史”的考误

司马迁的《史记》以史料的详实为后人所赞誉,然而以个人的力量对两千多年的历史事实作全面的彻底的校勘考证,难免会显得力不从心,因此《史记》中有许多讹误记载,本文仅从纪年和史料两个方面对《史记》中秦史的记载作了些考证,提出了自己的看法,以求说明当时的真实历史事实。

屋面雨水利用系统量化评估中径流系数的取值(英文)

为了实现屋面雨水利用系统量化评估中径流系数的精确取值,通过连续3年(2010—2012年)对河北省邯郸市不同屋面类型(屋面坡度和材料)及降雨特征(降雨深度和强度)的屋面径流进行实地监测,得到了各场实际降雨屋面径流系数的不同取值.研究结果表明,屋面径流系数的取值分布与各降雨事件的降雨深度相关性较强,其他影响因素对其影响较小.场次径流系数的取值与降雨深度呈显著的分段线性关系.根据1960—2008年的日降雨数据资料,计算得出邯郸市年均屋面径流系数可近似按照0.62这一常数进行取值.该研究成果可用于屋面雨水利用系统的量化评估及运行分析.     

Keeping your audience in mind: applying audience analysis to the design of interactive score reports

Score reports have one or more intended audiences: the people who use the reports to make decisions about test takers, including teachers, administrators, parents and test takers. Attention to audience when designing a score report supports assessment validity by increasing the likelihood that score users will interpret and use assessment results appropriately. Although most design guidelines focus on making score reports understandable to people who are not testing professionals, audiences should be defined by more than just their lack of statistical knowledge. This paper introduces an approach to identifying important audience characteristics for designing computer-based, interactive score reports. Through three examples, we demonstrate how an audience analysis suggests a design pattern, which guides the overall design of a report, as well as design details, such as data representations and scaffolding. We conclude with a research agenda for furthering the use of audience analysis in the design of interactive score reports.
