Challenges faced by SOE reform

State-owned enterprises’(SOE) greater independence from government offices as well as property rights reform have optimized SOEs’ shareholding structure. But the reform has to clear several hurdles before it can be fully realized. In 1998, the central government dismantled ministries that had been the direct administrators of large SOEs. Most functions of those ministries were transferred to industry associations. Only a few considered indispensable were taken over by other government offices. The move has pushed forward the SOE reform to some extent. On the other hand, being State-owned, those enterprises have to find new links with the government.

Development of Trusted Network and Challenges It Faces

As the information network plays a more and more important role globally, the traditional network theories and technologies, especially those related to network security, can no longer meet the network development requirements. Offering the system with secure and trusted services has become a new focus in network research. This paper first discusses the meaning of and aspects involved in the trusted network. According to this paper, the trusted network should be a network where the network’s and users’ behaviors and their results are always predicted and manageable. The trustworthiness of a network mainly involves three aspects: service provider, information transmission and terminal user. This paper also analyzes the trusted network in terms of trusted model for network/user behaviors, architecture of trusted network, service survivability and network manageability, which is designed to give ideas on solving the problems that may be faced in developing the trusted network.

New Challenges for Occupational Health Services Facing Economic Reform in China

In China, which is facing economic reform and the rapid development of small-scale industries, various occupational hazards are reappearing. The problems are related to the ignorance of the managers and the workers, a lack of capital, the insufficiency of occupational health services, and the transfer of some hazardous work from large factories in the cities to small plants in the towns and villages. The change in life-style, especially in smoking habits, has aggravated occupational hazards. The problems may be solved by renewing the concept of health among the managers and workers, enforcing legislation related to occupational hazards, strengthening health personnel training, and reinforcing health education and self-help. 1989 Academic Press, Inc.

A Motivation Framework to Promote Knowledge Translation in Healthcare

Globally,there is a great gulf between medical knowledge and clinical practice.Translating knowledge into clinical decision support(CDS) application has become the biggest challenge faced by evidence based medicine.This paper proposed a comprehensive motivation framework to facilitate knowledge translation in healthcare.Based on a unified medical knowledge ontology and knowledge base,the framework provides an infrastructure of fundamental services,such as inference service and data acquisition,to support development of knowledge-driven CDS applications and integration into clinical workflow.The framework has been implemented in a 2600-bed Chinese hospital,and is able to reduce the time and cost of developing typical CDS applications.
