Value-Based Test Case Prioritization for Regression Testing Using Genetic Algorithms

Test Case Prioritization(TCP)techniques perform better than other regression test optimization techniques including Test Suite Reduction(TSR)and Test Case Selection(TCS).Many TCP techniques are available,and their performance is usually measured through a metric Average Percentage of Fault Detection(APFD).This metric is value-neutral because it only works well when all test cases have the same cost,and all faults have the same severity.Using APFD for performance evaluation of test case orders where test cases cost or faults severity varies is prone to produce false results.Therefore,using the right metric for performance evaluation of TCP techniques is very important to get reliable and correct results.In this paper,two value-based TCP techniques have been introduced using Genetic Algorithm(GA)including Value-Cognizant Fault Detection-Based TCP(VCFDB-TCP)and Value-Cognizant Requirements Coverage-Based TCP(VCRCB-TCP).Two novel value-based performance evaluation metrics are also introduced for value-based TCP including Average Percentage of Fault Detection per value(APFDv)and Average Percentage of Requirements Coverage per value(APRCv).Two case studies are performed to validate proposed techniques and performance evaluation metrics.The proposed GA-based techniques outperformed the existing state-of-the-art TCP techniques including Original Order(OO),Reverse Order(REV-O),Random Order(RO),and Greedy algorithm.

Managing Value-Based Activity Flexibility on Integrated ERP

On the background of integrated ERP development, activity-value-flexibility management (AVFM) is defined. By using economic-value-added (EVA) and corporate value creation as the objective of AVFM, custom value deviating rate, capital cost deviating rate, cash-flow-out per purchase deviating rate and cash-flow-in per sell deviating rate are developed to be the key responding variates for AVFM, and they also decide the rational quantity range for AVFM tactics. Method for rational AVFM tactics solution could be got by means of redesigning activity information process on integrated ERP.

The Practice of Pharmacist-Driven Antimicrobial Stewardship Based on Value-Based Healthcare

Objective To evaluate the effect of pharmacist-driven antimicrobial stewardship based on value-based healthcare in a tertiary hospital in China.Methods The application of plan-do-check-action(PDCA)cycle and antimicrobial stewardship(AMS)were respectively used to improve the rational use of antimicrobial agents in prophylactic and therapeutic.Data were collected and the effect was assessed during the management period(2016-2019).Results and Conclusion From 2016(before implementation)to 2019(after implementation),the rational use of antibiotics were obviously enhanced in outpatients,inpatients,and emergency department.For instance,the utilization rate in type I incision operation was decreased from 26.42%to 14.60%(P=0.000),the daily doses of antibiotic per 100 patient-days decreased from 49.34±2.97 to 35.89±4.96(P=0.000),and the average antibiotic expenditures dropped from 948.53 yuan to 526.30 yuan(P=0.000).There was no significant change in infection rate,nosocomial mortality rate,and the length of hospital stay.After the implementation of clinical pharmacist-driven antimicrobial stewardship based on value-based healthcare,the consumption and cost of antibacterial have been greatly reduced.Therefore,the pharmacist-driven antimicrobial stewardship increases its value。

地缘政治视域下中国参与亚运会历程中的重要议题及杭州亚运会的时代成就

已经胜利落幕的杭州亚运会是在中国境内举办的第3届亚运会。采用文献资料法与历史研究法,回顾中国的亚运会参与史,进一步分析亚运会与亚洲地缘政治格局和体育格局的互动影响后发现,参与亚运会是中国走向世界体育、参与国际体育事务的重要桥梁;是中国施展体育外交坚实且富有弹性的“第一步”,是推动亚洲地缘关系,巩固在亚地位的重要渠道;是处理两岸关系的重要场域。在两个大局背景下,杭州亚运会在加强中国与亚洲国家的联系,促进亚洲国家的交流与团结,树立“可亲可爱”的中国形象,宣传“心心相融”的在亚外交倡议,推动两岸交流,夯实和平统一基础等方面体现出重要的时代价值,并为中国以体育促外交的未来发展提出新的议题。

Exploring the Concept of“Build a Community of a Shared Future for Mankind”in International Diplomacy:A Prehistoric Mythological Perspective

According to the historical records of prehistoric civilisation in China and the existing theories of prehistoric history within the academic community,it can be inferred that all human civilisations on Earth have their origins in the period following the Great Flood,during which human civilisation was rebuilt.Furthermore,there are notable parallels between the figure of“Nuwa”in Chinese prehistoric civilisation and that of“Noah”in Western accounts.By treating the prehistoric flood event as a research approach in historical compilation,scholars can extract valuable insights into“building a community of a shared future for mankind”and use it as a symbol of global diplomatic relations.This approach can foster common values of mutual learning and exchange among nations,ultimately creating a more promising future for developing a new form of human civilisation.

冷战后日本与东南亚地区秩序的构建:观念与政策

冷战后日本与东南亚地区秩序的构建问题应引起学界足够的重视。地区秩序与国际秩序有相通之处,但也有其独特性。地区范围、地区制度框架及地区统合原则是地区秩序的构成要素。在东南亚秩序构建进程中,日本形成相互并存的、多层次地区概念。从亚太到扩大的东亚、“自由与繁荣之弧”和“两洋交会”再到“印太构想”,日本的地区秩序观经历经济导向、价值观导向及印太框架3个时期的演变。日本从强调包容性转变为强调同质性,价值观外交愈发突出。日本通过双边与小多边主义强化安全合作,安全议题的分量不断上升。以新版“安保三文件”为指导,日本在2023年推进名为“政府安全保障能力强化支援”(OSA)的安全合作新框架,使援助外交从单一的经济发展援助走向“经济+安全”双轨并行的新态势。日本从均势与陆海对立的思维定势出发,地区概念的适用范围不断扩大,试图借此阻滞与稀释中国的影响力。

理解中国共产党政党外交--基于议程设置的视角

中国共产党政党外交实践的日益蓬勃发展,呼唤创新的理论视角对其进行考察。为理解中国共产党政党外交如何服务中国特色大国外交,借助议程设置理论构建一个“提出政党外交议题—以政党外交渠道传播议题—推动政党外交议程制度化”分析框架。在此框架下,中国共产党政党外交,是服务国家总体外交提出议题、主导创建政党外交机制传播议题、参与国际议程设置竞争的重要渠道和手段。中国共产党政党外交,既是一个系统性、整体性的外交过程,也是一个可划分为数个有先后顺序、有彼此关联步骤的过程,更是一个可过程化、多维度考察的对象。

美国涉疆舆论战:政治媒介化与舆论外交

2018年以来,美国针对中国新疆发起一波波舆论战,罗织的罪名令人匪夷所思。文本以政治媒介化理论观照美国涉疆舆论战。政治媒介化指在美西方市场逻辑作用下,政治逐渐依赖、内化媒介逻辑,政治过程受媒介逻辑长期形塑的现象。美国涉疆舆论战通过政治媒介化策略,将其遏制中国的目的隐蔽地转换为一个个“悲情故事”,妄图实现其舆论外交目的。文本深入剖析了美国涉疆舆论战中的政治媒介化过程与策略,揭露了美国涉疆舆论战的真相与本质。

南南合作的中国实践与贡献——基于“全球南方”的视角

“全球南方”这一术语的定义多种多样,在一定程度上为学术研究和外交实践增添了难度。虽然中国的经济实力不断提升,国际影响力不断扩大,但中国依然是一个发展中国家。如果说“全球南方”是“发展中国家”的同义词,那么中国就是“全球南方”的天然成员。面对世界百年未有之大变局,进一步推动南南合作的必要性和重要意义日益凸显。作为“全球南方”的重要成员,中国为推动南南合作作出了重大贡献,主要体现在以下几个方面:力所能及地向其他发展中国家提供经济援助;在涉及发展中国家切身利益的重大问题上给予道义上的支持;加强技术转移转化,帮助发展中国家提升科技创新能力;大力支持联合国为推动南南合作而开展的工作。

“三大倡议”与新时期中国的中亚外交

自2021年以来,习近平主席相继提出了全球发展倡议、全球安全倡议和全球文明倡议三大全球性倡议。“三大倡议”不仅为解决全球性问题提供了重要方案,而且为中国的中亚外交提供了理论支持和战略引领。中国同中亚五国是命运与共的好邻居、好朋友、好伙伴、好兄弟。三十多年来,中国的中亚外交取得了令人瞩目的巨大成就。当前,中国应以全球发展倡议为引领,推动中国与中亚国家实现共同发展;以全球安全倡议为引领,助力中国与中亚国家实现共同安全;以全球文明倡议为引领,促进中国与中亚国家实现民心相通与文明互鉴,进而促进中国与中亚国家走上更加稳定和友好的发展轨道,并保障中国—中亚命运共同体的构建取得更多切实成效。

科技外交理论的概念演化、范畴界定及欧美实践的启示

在当前的新形势下,科技外交在应对全球性挑战及地缘政治和国际关系中的作用愈加重要。科技外交运用科技和创新国际合作作为软实力工具,建立和改善与其他国家及地区的关系,当国家间的其他直接关系遭遇困境和挫折时,科技外交仍可充当国家间保持彼此联系的桥梁作用。科技外交包括在国际关系决策中需要明确考虑科学知识和科学建议,为便利国际科技合作和人员交流、促进国内创新而采取的外交政策活动,以及促进与其他国家关系的合作性科技活动等三重功能,国家利益是科技外交的主要驱动力。欧盟及其成员国和美国都重视科技在决策系统和外交政策中的作用,从早期增设使馆科技专员到任命美国国务卿和欧盟对外行动署的科技顾问再到向海外派驻科技大使,资助科技外交研究和培训等,不少做法值得借鉴。我国应在完善国家科技决策咨询机制、建立既精通科技又具有外交知识和技能的人才储备和人才培养及培训机制、鼓励参加国际性科技外交研究和实践交流合作网络等方面加强科技外交工作,制定科技外交战略。

确立习近平外交思想指导地位的时代背景和重大意义

习近平外交思想是当代中国马克思主义、二十一世纪马克思主义在中国外交领域的最新成果。在百年未有之大变局与中华民族伟大复兴交汇、中国同世界关系发生历史性变化的背景下,确立习近平外交思想对新时代中国对外工作的指导地位具有重大意义。习近平外交思想坚持马克思主义基本观点,继承新中国外交传统并不断创新,形成了科学完备、逻辑严密的思想理论体系。在习近平外交思想指引下,中国对外工作取得了举世瞩目的成就,展示了强大的实践伟力。习近平外交思想坚定维护国家利益并履行国际责任,推动世界和平发展,推动世界社会主义事业不断走向新胜利,是新时代中国特色大国外交不断开创新局面的强大引领。

中缅建交问题再探讨

中缅建交是当代中缅关系的起点。早在1948年12月,缅甸便初步决定承认中国共产党政权。在接下来的一年中,吴努政府更多考虑的是何时承认的问题。最终,在确定英国和印度即将承认中华人民共和国后,缅甸于1949年12月16日承认中华人民共和国,成为第一个承认新中国的非社会主义国家。但由于中缅双方彼此猜忌防范,直到1950年6月8日两国才正式建交。历史记忆、地缘政治和意识形态等因素共同塑造了建交前后的中缅关系,压制了两国在经贸关系和政治往来等国家利益层面的互动。与此同时,这一时期的中缅关系并非纯粹意义上的双边关系,英国、印度和苏联等第三方经常在其中发挥重要作用。1953年,中国在外交政策中强调和平共处,缅甸在处理对外关系时也开始奉行中立主义,国家利益在中缅关系中的优先性迅速提高,双方关系明显转暖。

中国能源企业在全球能源治理中的角色研究

当前百年变局加速演进,地缘政治热点事件频发,美欧对俄制裁不断升级,国际能源的供需关系因各国政治站队而变得更加不稳定,凸显了现有全球能源治理体系的不足,能源治理体系进入重新调整时期。目前,中国能源企业已通过国际能源合作进行了能源治理的尝试并取得一定经验,但也面临诸多挑战,在全球能源治理中的话语权仍较弱。建议中国能源企业通过加强国际合作、打造清洁能源领域影响力、在能源合作中扩大人民币使用等多种方式,提高我国在全球能源治理中的话语权。

苏纳克政府对华认知变化与中英关系的未来

自约翰逊政府上台以来,中英关系持续遇冷。2022年10月,里希·苏纳克接替特拉斯成为新一任英国首相。回溯苏纳克上台以来的对华认知表态发现,英国近期对华认知出现某些调整,开始展现重新与华接触的积极意愿。本文认为,俄乌冲突背景下,英国对华认知变化是由一系列内外因素共同作用的结果。内部因素包括英国社会内部多种难题亟待解决、国内经济下行压力持续增加以及保守党极端势力的政治掣肘;外部因素包括英国难以忽视其他西方国家的访华热潮、难以回避中美战略竞争加剧的现实冲击以及英欧关系再平衡的需求。苏纳克政府缓和对华认知,将在一定程度上影响中英关系的未来。一方面,调整对华认知可能有助于重启中英双边关系、拓展双边合作空间以及助力“全球英国”的外交战略。另一方面,英国“两面性”对华政策的持续也可能进一步增加中英双边关系的复杂性,且英国对华政策的强意识形态色彩近期可能难有太多改变。总之,英国近期对华认知确实出现某些较以往积极的调适。准确把握此窗口期,探寻重启中英交流与合作的多种渠道,挖掘双边合作潜力,对双边关系的改善与发展有重要意义。

全球治理的“内卷式”困境与中国的作为

2008年国际金融危机后,全球治理逐渐陷入困境,但与此同时全球治理中各类制度、规则广泛建立。现有研究解释不了全球治理失效但各类制度、规则又不断建立的现象。通过引入“内卷”概念,并分析全球治理“量的增长”与“质的停滞”的情形,可以将全球治理所面临的问题称为“内卷式”困境,即全球治理中制度、规则数量的增长并未带来全球治理质的提升。究其原因,全球化进程中的矛盾性在全球治理层面的反映可以解释这种“内卷式”困境,包括国家内部的矛盾性引发对全球治理的质疑、国家主义阻碍了全球治理向全球主义的升级、大国竞争削弱了多元主体的协同性等。面对全球治理的“内卷式”困境,中国提出人类命运共同体理念,以“一带一路”建设推进区域治理发展,减少因大国竞争造成制度、规则间的不一致,为推动全球治理质的提升而贡献力量。
