新时代党校如何加强党性教育探究

基层党校是党员领导干部增强党性锻炼的大熔炉,党校加强党性教育是由党校的性质、功能和培养目标决定的,是党校教育的根本所在,也是区别于其他办学机构的一大特色,是党校的必修课。中国特色社会主义新时代,对党校的教育工作提出了新的要求,党校在搞好日常教学研究的基础上,必须将党性教育提到工作新高度,贯穿于教学的全过程,创新教育方式,探究教育新途径,真正发挥教育优势,坚持不懈地加强党员干部党性教育,锤炼党性修养,强化责任担当,保持党的先进性,提高党的执政能力,使党员干部始终保持共产党人的优良传统和政治本色,牢记党的服务宗旨,全心全意为人民服务,不忘初心,牢记使命。

Evolution of Policy Implementation Mechanisms in Communist China

It is not accurate to judge the decline or increase in China＇s state capacity totally, because it is selectively effective from the view of policy implementation. Chinese Communist Party has been striving to improve its government ability over the past decades. Mass mobilization and political movement were widely used to monitor local agents as well as implement policy in Maoist era. But mobilization and political movement were inappropriate under market circumstance which demands social order, regulation and law. In order to enhance the ability to enforce policy effectively, the Party sets up cadre responsibility system consisting of targets management, responsibility contract and competitions between cadres at the same administrative hierarchical level. Through cadre responsibility system, the Party-state enhances its government ability and it also leads to selective implementation.

Cowbirds, conservation, and coevolution: potential misconceptions and directions for future research

Avian brood parasitism is a model system for studies of coevolution and ecological interactions between parasites and their hosts. However, recent work may have led to misconceptions concerning the Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater), the most widely studied brood parasitic bird in the world, and its effects on host species. Potential misconceptions about this species that could affect management issues are as follows: cowbird populations are increasing; cowbirds are relatively new to North America; recently exposed hosts are defenseless against parasitism; cowbirds have caused widespread declines of songbirds; and cowbird control is always effective in increasing the size of endangered host populations. Potential coevolutionary misconceptions are that cowbirds are typically 'host tolerant'; cowbirds evict host nestmates; and the mafia effect is widespread. It is important to clarify these issues because such misconceptions could hinder our understanding of parasite-host interactions, and thus obscure the direction of basic research and of management efforts taken to limit cowbird impacts on endangered species. We discuss these issues and suggest future research directions to enhance our understanding of this fascinating species.

The Impact of External Actors on the Communist Regime in Albania

During the Second World War, the Albanian communist leadership strengthened its political power by establishing close ties with the communist leadership of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia that was also the godfather in the creation of the Albanian Communist Party on November 8, 1941. The article will argue that the relationship of the Albanian Communist Party with other communist parties including the Yugoslav one and the management of the internal member＇s relations was motivated by the quest for power rather than the ideological motives. Hoxha was largely responsible for Albania＇s virtual isolation from the world. Little interest, understanding combined with negligence of the Western comprehension of the grip of Stalinism in Albania left the country to adhere Stalinism until the end of Communism in the 1990s.

Rapid quantification of multi-components in alcohol precipitation liquid of Codonopsis Radix using near infrared spectroscopy(NIRS)

A near infrared spectroscopy（NIRS） approach was established for quality control of the alcohol precipitation liquid in the manufacture of Codonopsis Radix. By applying NIRS with multivariate analysis, it was possible to build variation into the calibration sample set, and the Plackett-Burman design, Box-Behnken design, and a concentrating-diluting method were used to obtain the sample set covered with sufficient fluctuation of process parameters and extended concentration information. NIR data were calibrated to predict the four quality indicators using partial least squares regression（PLSR）. In the four calibration models, the root mean squares errors of prediction（RMSEPs） were 1.22 μg/ml, 10.5 μg/ml, 1.43 μg/ml, and 0.433% for lobetyolin, total flavonoids, pigments, and total solid contents, respectively. The results indicated that multi-components quantification of the alcohol precipitation liquid of Codonopsis Radix could be achieved with an NIRS-based method, which offers a useful tool for real-time release testing（RTRT） of intermediates in the manufacture of Codonopsis Radix.

Improved multiparty quantum key agreement in travelling mode

The need to simultaneously balance security and fairness in quantum key agreement(QKA) makes it challenging to design a flawless QKA protocol, especially a multiparty quantum key agreement(MQKA) protocol. When designing an MQKA protocol,two modes can be used to transmit the quantum information carriers: travelling mode and distributed mode. MQKA protocols usually have a higher qubit efficiency in travelling mode than in distributed mode. Thus, several travelling mode MQKA protocols have been proposed. However, almost all of these are vulnerable to collusion attacks from internal betrayers. This paper proposes an improved MQKA protocol that operates in travelling mode with Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs. More importantly, we present a new travelling mode MQKA protocol that uses single photons, which is more feasible than previous methods under current technologies.
