学习、知识能量、核心能力如何提升绩效——华南地区企业的实证研究

探讨学习、知识能量及核心能力如何提升组织的绩效,并以华南地区的157家企业为对象进行实证研究.结果表明,以学习为导向的组织必须通过知识能量的积累才能促进核心能力的提升并最终提高组织的绩效;知识能量的积累并不能直接带来组织绩效的改善,而需通过核心能力的提升才能对组织绩效产生间接的正向影响.     

Spatial variation in accessibility of libraries in Hong Kong

Libraries play a significant role in supplying educational and cultural services. They are important public spaces that can contribute to creating social equality by providing unlimited access to information and public spaces for the community. In this research both the traditional measures (supply-to-demand ratio and straight distance) and advanced measures (population-weighted average nearest network distance and population-weighted average two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) score) are used to assess spatial inequity in the distribution of libraries throughout Hong Kong. How accessibility has been changed after the introduction of two strategies for improvement (community and mobile libraries) is also examined, as are spatial demographic and socioeconomic characteristics associated with library provision. The results indicate that there is a substantial heterogeneity of library provision in Hong Kong. Community and mobile libraries have significantly improved the library provision in several areas, although spatial inequality remains. Areas with demographic and socioeconomic groups with lower accessibility to library services were further identified. Data at multiple geographical scales were used, and consistent findings were obtained, confirming the robustness of the results.     

Select-the-Best-Ones: A new way to judge relative relevance

In the traditional evaluation of information retrieval systems, assessors are asked to determine the relevance of a document on a graded scale, independent of any other documents. Such judgments are absolute judgments. Learning to rank brings some new challenges to this traditional evaluation methodology, especially regarding absolute relevance judgments. Recently preferences judgments have been investigated as an alternative. Instead of assigning a relevance grade to a document, an assessor looks at a pair of pages and judges which one is better. In this paper, we generalize pairwise preference judgments to relative judgments. We formulate the problem of relative judgments in a formal way and then propose a new strategy called Select-the-Best-Ones to solve the problem. Through user studies, we compare our proposed method with a pairwise preference judgment method and an absolute judgment method. The results indicate that users can distinguish by about one more relevance degree when using relative methods than when using the absolute method. Consequently, the relative methods generate 15–30% more document pairs for learning to rank. Compared to the pairwise method, our proposed method increases the agreement among assessors from 95% to 99%, while halving the labeling time and the number of discordant pairs to experts’ judgments.     

儒家伦理与新加坡的公民道德教育

新加坡是近20年世界上最大力推行儒家伦理教育的国家,其通过在学校开设《儒家伦理》课程和在社会上开展各种以提倡儒家伦理为内容的道德教化活动,使儒家伦理与新加坡的公民道德教育紧密地结合在一起。本文在对新加坡推行家伦理进行文化考察的基础上,揭示了儒家伦理在新加坡公民道德教育中的价值及对我国道德教育和道德建设的启示。     

Are There Any Gender Differences in the Perception of University Support During the Transition Period to Higher Education?

The purpose of this study is to determine if there are gender differences in the perception of university support. The study is based on a survey of 368 students in a Hong Kong university. The findings of the study are threefold. First, female students perceive the university as being more supportive in their academic adjustment than do male students (t = ?4.256, p < 0.001). Second, male students perceive the university as being more supportive in their social adjustment than do female students (t = 2.156, p < 0.05). Last, male students perceive the university as being more supportive in their psychological adjustment than do female students (t= 2.401, p < 0.05).

     

黄芩甙的极谱研究

用单扫示波极谱法研究了黄芩甙的电化学特性．在０．０５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ柠檬酸钠＋０．２ｍｏｌ／ＬＨＣｌ底液中,黄芩甙于－１．１６Ｖ（Ｐ１）和－１．３４Ｖ（Ｐ２）（ｖｓ．ＳＣＥ）处产生两个二阶导数峰,前者为黄芩甙分子的还原波,后者为其一价阴离子的还原波,均为羰基的双电子还原波．利用峰Ｐ１可测定黄芩甙,线性范围为０．１６～０．６４ｍｇ／Ｌ和０．７２～２４ｍｇ／Ｌ,检测限为０．０８ｍｇ／Ｌ．将该法用于中药黄芩中黄芩甙的测定时,获得满意结果
