Enhancing Overseas Chinese Graduate Employability: The Case of Chinese Graduates with Finnish Academic Qualifications

This paper explores ways to enhance overseas Chinese graduate employability by taking Finnish-educated Chinese students/graduates as an example. In so doing, it understands that graduate employability development is a joint effort of multiple stakeholders including students, graduates, academics, program coordinators, employers, and policymakers. Accordingly, it provides arguments and suggestions for how to enhance the employability of these graduates in terms of the labor market context, employers’ beliefs and actions, the responsibilities of higher education institutions, and student/graduate commitment. It also points out two major challenges faced by overseas Chinese graduates as well as their educational providers, which are linked respectively to gaps between what graduates acquire in higher education and what is required in the labor market, as well as gaps from the employers’ perspective: areas where employers need to understand more about universities and catch up with new ideas generated by them.     

关联翻译观视角下外宣文本变译策略探析——以2010年政府工作报告（英译本）为例

由于汉英语言文化上的显著不同,国内读者和外国受众在认知语境上也存在较大差异。外宣译本的成功与否往往取决于译本是否具有最佳关联性。文章以2010年政府工作报告（英译本）为例,以关联翻译观为指导,着重探讨了变译策略在外宣翻译中的应用。     

德国、法国、英国、意大利国际体育专利的竞争情报分析

运用描述性统计、词频分析、Ucinet 6.0统计软件,对德国、法国、英国、意大利在欧洲专利局申请的体育专利的发展趋势、IPC及申请人进行分析。结果认为:2002—2011年,德国、法国、意大利各年度在欧洲专利局的体育专利申请量、体育专利申请量占相应年度世界体育专利申请总量的比例均呈下降趋势;2010—2011年,德国、法国、英国、意大利在欧洲专利局体育专利申请中的研发领域、技术应用的关联性、申请人的集群优势及主要技术应用具有不同的特点。为我国发现体育专利研发的创新点、了解竞争对手的技术应用、研发集群优势、规避因知识产权纠纷带来的风险提供了具有参考价值的竞争情报。     

运动锻炼、人格特征与中学生心理健康的关系研究

采用集体问卷测试，分析了运动锻炼及其相关因素对中学生的人格特征与心理健康水平的影响。结果表明，中学生的运动素质和能力知觉与个性特征和心理健康水平呈显著性相关，运动锻炼的水平与中学生的人格和心理健康水平也存在显著性关系。中学生运动锻炼的兴趣水平和努力程度对心理健康发展有重要影响，个性人格特征影响锻炼的兴趣，而努力方式受性格的制约，心理健康与运动锻炼存在着显著的互动关系。     

运动员人格特征与赛前焦虑、心境状态的相关关系

采用测试研究方法，分析了人格特征与运动员的竞赛焦虑和心境状态的相关关系。结果表明，不同人格特征运动员之间在比赛期间存在显著的竞赛焦虑和心境状态差异；比赛期间躯体焦虑比认知焦虑更能影响运动员的潜能发挥；心境状态是运动员竞赛焦虑的有效预测因子。     

世界一流大学前沿科学中心建设模式分析与借鉴 ——以麻省理工学院麦戈文脑科学研究院为例

介绍美国麻省理工学院前沿科学中心麦戈文脑科学研究院的治理理念、组织模式和管理体系,对其与我国共建的3所麦戈文脑科学研究院等科研人员进行半结构式访谈,得到前沿科学中心的科研评审机制、经费支持机制以及科研软环境建设是科研人员最关注的方面.借鉴麦戈文脑科学研究院经验,建议我国研究型大学在建设前沿科学研究平台中,注重依托实体化组织模式引进顶尖人才参与建设,提供稳定的科研支撑保障并拓宽科研资助来源,强化高水平国际交流与合作,鼓励学科交叉融合,营造协同创新的软环境,并提升国际化管理水平.     

经济增长对科研经费投入贡献力的国际比较

以联合国教科文组织公布的统计数据为基础，对不同经济发展时期、水平的国家GDP总值与R＆D经费投入进行了国际比较。分析结果表明，发达国家的GDP对R＆D投入的贡献力要大于发展中国家，处于经济上升期的国家非常重视R＆D经费投入，中国在统计时间段内科研投入平缓增加，但科技竞争力整体水平较低。     

Federalization of education in Chihuahua

This article examines the politics behind the initial centralization of primary education in Chihuahua, Mexico during the 1920s and 1930s. The article argues that the centralization of primary education was one of many tools used by the federal government to consolidate its power in the wake of the Mexican Revolution (1910–1917) and create a corporatist state. Even before the Revolution, federal officials were concerned that neither states nor municipalities were capable of providing primary education (especially in rural areas) adequate to Mexico’s needs. Even though the 1917 Constitution gave control over primary education to the municipal government, Education Ministry (SEP) officials began taking major steps in centralizing primary education under the auspices of the federal government during the administration of Alvaro Obregón (1920–1924) by subsidizing state‐run primary schools and refusing to deal with municipal governments. Under Plutarco Elías Calles (1924–1928) the SEP undermined state‐run education by annulling all existing contracts with state governments and creating a parallel federal primary schools system. The federal government also tried to gain control over federal teachers by centralizing control over grassroots unions. The SEP’s drive to centralize control over schooling reached its climax during this period with the federalization of all primary schools in Chihuahua and Queretaro in 1935.     

The potential skills contribution of international students to South Africa

Abstract

There has been a significant increase in the number of international students, especially in those from other African countries, at South African universities over the last ten years. This has elicited some research, notably from Ramphele, Crush and McDonald (1999); Hall (2004); and Snowball and Antrobus (2005; 2006). However, none of these scholars considered the possibility of exploiting the skills potential of international students in South Africa, especially at a time when the country faces skills shortages. The authors conducted a survey at six higher education institutions (HEIs) in 2008, which sought to determine the skills profiles of international students in South Africa. It was found that the majority of international students are registered in disciplines where skills shortages exist, that a significant number of these students are young and that many would like to remain and work in South Africa. Labour policy makers in South Africa seem to be unaware of this, hence policy is ill-adapted to derive economic benefits from international students.     

适应经济发展新环境的国际贸易专业仿真实训研究

国际贸易专业的特点和中国社会经济发展的现实使得校企合作无法深入开展,毕业生或在校学生的实习实训很难真正落实。为解决专业需要较强的实践操作能力而学生又很难通过工学结合实现的矛盾,仿真实训就显得尤为重要。本文从构建课程仿真实训、模拟仿真软件实训、沙盘模拟仿真实训以及科学合理的仿真实训评价体系等方面出发,对适应经济发展新环境的国际贸易专业仿真实训进行了分析。
