Employee mistreatment and muted voices in the culturally diverse workplace

This study examines mistreatment through the perspectives of employees with different cultural backgrounds and positions in order to understand the ways in which some voices are muted and others are privileged. Mistreatment is interactional, distributive, procedural, or systemic abuse of employees taking place at both interpersonal and institutional levels on the basis of cultural diversity. Narrative analysis of semi-structured interviews with employees of a large research and development organization revealed three types of muted narratives used to respond to mistreatment (muted-but-engaged, angrily disengaged, and resigned) as well as one type of privileged response. The narratives provided evidence of two processes by which voices became muted: repeated silencing over time and silencing through ambiguity of policies.     

农地使用制度的完善与农民农耕权的确立

我国农村改革开放之初确立了以家庭联产承包经营为特色的农地使用制度。目前农地使用制度面临若干问题需要解决。完善农地使用制度的当务之急是在民法物权法中确立物权化的土地承包经营权，在此基础上确立与土地流转相适应的农耕权制度。

银雀山汉简《守法》《守令》简文归属辨析

在介绍和总结前辈学者在《守法》《守令》分篇研究方面取得成绩的基础上,指出学界在简768—775、简802—806的归属问题上存在严重分歧。并对这两组简文的归属进行重新辨析,认为简768—769、简802、简806属于《守法》《守令》,简770—775属于《库法》,简803—805尚无法确定归属。     

张之洞与清末法律近代化

在中国法律史学术领域与高校教材中，传统观点一直认为张之洞是清末变法修律的反对派。本则提出，是张之洞率先倡导变法修律并举荐修律大臣，其变法修律主张初步体现了中国法律近代化的时代趋向，其与沈家本之间的争论属于渐进还是激进之争，因此张之洞乃是清末法律近代化的促进派，起着积极的推动作用。     

Understanding storage environmental stability during power outages: A key issue in sub-tropical climates

Efficient air-conditioning systems facilitate climate control in modern museums, libraries, and archives. The climate in Hong Kong is typically hot and humid, so the survival of collections is highly dependent on 24-hour air-conditioning systems to maintain the desired environment in repositories of archives and books, or artefact stores. The continuous operation of such systems in turn relies on a number of factors, such as uninterrupted electricity supply, an active maintenance programme, daily monitoring of their performance and quick response to irregularities as well as backup or alternative systems to support the air-conditioning load in case they are down for servicing. From the risk management point of view, unlike the latter four factors, electricity supply is an external factor that cannot be guaranteed. Fluctuation in the power level that results in stoppage of air-conditioning equipment is not uncommon even in well-developed countries. Long power outages could be catastrophic as they might lead to irreversible damage to collection items as a result of fast, large, changes in temperature and relative humidity (RH) towards the external environment if the air-tightness or hygrothermal stability of the storage are not good enough. Understanding storage environmental stability, especially during electrical power disruptions, is an essential part of the preservation measures and disaster preparedness necessary to protect valuable collections in cultural heritage institutions in the region.

大学法学教学改革探析——以《劳动法》教学为视野

大学法学案例教学模式和实践教学模式是我国高等院校法学教学的主要模式。案例教学法和实践教学法都还存在着亟待改进的问题,在案例教学中要特别注意案例的选择和课后论文的写作。在实践教学中既要立足于司法实践,又不能遗漏立法实践;在关注国内立法的同时,还要比较国外立法。     

Elite coaching and the technocratic engineer: thanking the boys at Microsoft!

The primary purpose of this article is to provide an in-depth understanding of the manner in which surveillance technologies have become readily appropriated and utilised by elite Rugby Union coaches. It is conceded that positions adopted by populist writings commonly categorise the act of coaching as an educational activity that harnesses holistic intentions. Through reflecting upon semi-structured interviews with players located at an Aviva Premiership Rugby Union Club, we provide insight into an elite sporting institution that more accurately depicts coaching as a technocratic activity. The resultant analysis is critical in its review of surveillance mechanisms embedded in institutional practice, extending to the sports coaching setting, which explicate sinister rather than pastoral motives to enforce a disciplinary power that enhances the quantification of athletic performance. The article concludes by emphasising the impact of such practices upon establishing a sense of trust and the construction of self autonomous to the sporting domain. We argue that the emerging and steadfast acceptance of technology in the elite coaching environment is threatening to circumvent the learning potential of players by merely viewing them as functionaries. In adopting this position, we tentatively suggest that future research seeking to inform the practice of coaching and coach education should continue to pursue this critical dialogue to question whether, and to what extent, an overreliance on technology is becoming perceived as the ‘gold standard’ of professional practice amongst the coaching fraternity.
