英国市场模式职业教育管理制度:特征、局限与改进

英国市场模式职业教育管理制度具有四个本质特征:政府主要依靠经济手段干预职业教育的发展,非政府或半官方机构对职业教育的结果实施考核与认证,成本收益原则控制着职业教育培训的供给,个人必须对自己的教育和培训行为负责。该制度的狭隘性、逐利性、放任性和有限性是导致英国职业教育概念范围狭窄、企业低参与和低投入、运行混乱与成效不佳的主要原因。明确人才培养目标、开展外部质量监控,运用多种手段解决投入与参与问题,借助政府主导的培训项目推动各类劳动力的教育与培训,借助国家职业资格拓展职业教育概念、规范资格授予市场是英国政府改进市场模式局限性的主要举措。

英国智库海外发展研究院涉华报告中的介入资源分析

[目的/意义]西方智库是观察和研究中国的重要机构,其话语策略广泛影响着国际社会“中国观”和中国形象的传播。本文旨在考察西方智库涉华报告的话语特征,提升中国智库话语的传播力和影响力,增强意识形态话语权和主导权。[方法/过程]本文以系统功能语言学评价理论的介入系统为理论框架,以2018—2022年英国智库海外发展研究院涉华报告为语料,以AntConc 4.1.0为分析工具,探讨其介入资源的文本特征和使用规律。[结果/结论]该智库介入资源的使用整体呈现对话性扩展的特点,对话性压缩逐渐显化。体现在以下三方面:利用扩展和压缩策略介入受众对涉华观点的解读;打开部分协商空间,邀请受众对所给信息给出判断;积极地承认正面信息,排除争议,对部分负面信息进行反转式处理。然而,该智库在阐述中国海外经济活动影响力时仍传播着意识形态偏见。本文可为丰富中国智库的海外发声资源、拓展其人际功能以及构建智库话语体系提供一定参考。

Autoimmune liver disease and the Canadian First Nations Aboriginal Communities of British Columbia's Pacific Northwest

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a well-known but uncommon chronic liver disease that is presumed to be of autoimmune etiology. Recently, investigations in British Columbia (BC), a province of Canada situated along the Pacific North-West of North America, have suggested that PBC is not a rare disease amongst BC's Aboriginal (i.e. First Nations) communities. Geographically, BC is adjacent to South East Alaska, an American state that has also reported an increased prevalence of PBC amongst its Aboriginal communities. In this article, the medical evidence supporting a hypothesis of increased risk of PBC amongst BC's First Nations communities is reviewed. Evidence suggesting that autoimmune hepatitis is also more likely amongst BC's First Nations communities is also presented.
