Process of Human Resource Training for R＆D Projects Based on a Project Management Phronesis Acquisition Model

Research and development （R＆D） projects often employ management by objectives （MBO） as a way to make steady progress toward diffficult-to-reach targets. As a result, it is hard to motivate those project members who may be strongly oriented toward self-management. Furthermore, for R＆D projects that use the stage-gate approach, because there are multiple evaluation barriers, there may be distortions in the behavior or the training of R＆D personnel. For human resource training in R＆D projects, it is important to educate managers and project members in quality-cost-delivery or project-management-body-of-knowledge methods, but this is not enough. For successful R＆D, it is also important to consider approaches that will enable personnel to acquire high-level tacit knowledge related to project management （PM） and practical wisdom （i.e., phronesis）. If comprehensive human resource training that fosters the learning of PM-related knowledge and management by belief （MBB） is possible, this holds forth the prospect of effective human resource training methods for R＆D projects. The present research examines the human resource training process for R＆D projects by using a PM phronesis acquisition model. We confirmed the effectiveness of the PM phronesis acquisition model proposed in this research by testing in an actual R＆D project.

Human Rights Training for Officials

The 9th workshop on human rights held by the State Council Information Office （SCIO） opened in Nanjing, in east China＇s Jiangsu Province, on August 23. More than 60 officials from across the country and central government agencies par- ticipated in the training course, which lasted four days. SCIO Vice Minister Dong Yunhu attended the opening cer- emony and gave a speech.

Human Rights Training for Central Government Officials

More than 50 officials from central government departments attended a human rights training class held in Nanchang,Jiangxi Province, on May 29-June 2. The class was sponsored by the State Council Information Office, during which the trainees attended lectures given on China＇s human rights concepts and the current human rights conditions in the country, human rights theories and international human rights instruments and protection of human rights under the rule of law.

Human Rights Training Course for State Functionaries

A training class on human rights knowledge for state functionaries was held in Beijing from December 11-14, 2007. More than 40 officials responsible for the publicity work on human fights from the central and state organs and the central press organizations attended.

Human Rights Knowledge Training in Xiamen

The second human rights knowledge training class was held May 29-June 3 in Xiamen. More than 60 cadres incharge of international communication from the central government agencies and information offices of various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities received training at the class sponsored by the Information Office of the State Council.

Second Group of National Human Rights Education and Training Bases Established

The Ministry of Education and the State Council Information Office on July 22 announced the second group of national human rights education and training bases, in- cluding the Human Rights Research Center at Renmin University of China, the Human Rights Research Center at Fudan University, the Human Rights Research Academy at Wuhan University, the Human Rights Research Center at Shandong University and the Human Rights Education and Research Center at the Southwest University of Politica~ Science arid Law.

Responsibilities and Working Mechanism of National Human Rights Education and Training Bases

On July 22, 2014, the second group of national human rights education and train- ing bases was announced,increasing the number of national bases from the previous three to a total of eight, which reflects the advancement of human rights education and ~aining in China and has far-reaching significance.

Review of research on high-speed railway aerodynamics in China

High-speed railway aerodynamics is the key basic science for solving the bottleneck problem of high-speed railway development.This paper systematically summarizes the aerodynamic research relating to China’s high-speed railway network.Seven key research advances are comprehensively discussed,including train aerodynamic drag-reduction technology,train aerodynamic noise-reduction technology,train ventilation technology,train crossing aerodynamics,train/tunnel aerodynamics,train/climate environment aerodynamics,and train/human body aerodynamics.Seven types of railway aerodynamic test platform built by Central South University are introduced.Five major systems for a high-speed railway network—the aerodynamics theoretical system,the aerodynamic shape(train,tunnel,and so on)design system,the aerodynamics evaluation system,the 3D protection system for operational safety of the high-speed railway network,and the high-speed railway aerodynamic test/computation/analysis platform system—are also introduced.Finally,eight future development directions for the field of railway aerodynamics are proposed.For over 30 years,railway aerodynamics has been an important supporting element in the development of China’s high-speed railway network,which has also promoted the development of high-speed railway aerodynamics throughout the world.
