Family life in grocery stores – a study of interaction between adults and children

Today the family is seen as a unit for food choice and consumption. The influence of family members on food choice comprises several stages that can be carried out both in the private home and in the public sphere, such as the grocery store. This makes the grocery store a context in which ordinary family life can be observed. The aim was to study families and the interaction between children and adults in the grocery store, focusing on young people's involvement in food shopping. Hidden observation and family interview methods were used. A total of 338 people were observed in seven different grocery stores in Stockholm during the summer and autumn of 2003. Seven family interviews, involving a total of 29 persons, were conducted in Uppsala in the spring of 2003. In the interviews, parents reported avoiding shopping for food together with children as they experienced it as stressful and exhausting. The observations showed that family life in the grocery store comprises not only the food purchase, but also bringing up children and consumer education. Young people's involvement in the food purchase varied depending on their age and the specific product. The different behaviour observed may be interpreted as reflecting the variation in ways of bringing up children at home. Another conclusion is that a public place such the grocery store facilitates pedagogical situations and can work as a tool for informal education.     

印度的语言政策与语言教育

印度是一个历史悠久的语言博物馆。国家的官方语言是用天城体书写的印地语，英语是辅助的官方语言。英语在印度的推广，已有400多年的历史。对印度的语言状况、印度独立后所采取的语言政策及英语在印度的历史和现状的分析，可以为我国的语言政策和语言教育提供一个可资借鉴的对象，从而正确处理母语教育与英语教育的关系。     

认清形势，突出重点，切实加强四川高校领导班子思想政治建设

在实施科教兴国和人才强国战略的历史背号下，在全国高等教育进行管理体制和结构布局战略性大调整的重要时期，我省高等教育实现了连续多年的超常规、跨越式发展。但与此同时，我省高校领导班子和领导干部的整体理论素质，尤其是思想政治素质有待进一步提高；高校领导班子驾驭全局。科学决策和解决重大问题的能力尚需进一步培养；高校领导班子民主集中制和党委领导下的校长负责制需进一步完善；高校领导班子的党风廉政建设需进一步加强。对此。我们认为，必须深刻认识高等教育的发展趋势和面临的巨大挑战，以提高领导现代大学的能力为重点，切实加强我省高校领导班子思想政治建设。进一步推动我省高等教育事业全面、协调、可持续地向前发展。

优化财政性三级教育支出结构

本文认为,财政性三级教育支出结构不合理,极大地影响了我国教育事业的发展。我国财政性三级教育支出结构存在的主要问题,是高等教育投资比例明显偏高,而初、中等教育投资比例较低,与我国经济发展水平不相适应。优化财政性三级教育支出结构,应加大国家对初、中等教育的投入力度,促进高等教育投资多元化。高等教育投资多元化应从两方面着手:一是鼓励个人和企业向现有高校进行投资;二是大力发展民办高等教育。

Relationship between the curriculum system and the understanding of nutritional terms in elementary school children

To clarify the relation between the curriculum system and the understanding of nutrition terms, 944 students aged 8–12 years living in Japan, the USA and the UK, were asked about the recognition, medium for recognition, and understanding of nutrition terms. The effect of nutrition education from an early stage in elementary schools in the UK and the USA was confirmed. These results suggest the possibility of beginning nutrition education earlier in the elementary school in Japan. American students had paid attention to food labels. These results showed that a learning and teaching strategy founded on comprehensively based subjects in the USA had influenced good behaviour for dietary life. On the other hand, there was not a relationship between an understanding of nutrition terms and a developmental stage. Many students in three countries were influenced by television commercials to buy candy or soda. We think that it is important to develop a curriculum that includes practical learning and ensures hours of teaching for the purpose of acquirement of nutritional knowledge. It is also necessary to encourage critical thinking skills to evaluate television commercial messages through school lessons.

Peers Versus National Culture: An Analysis of Antecedents to Ethical Decision-making

Given the recent ethics scandals in the United States, there has been a renewed focus on understanding the antecedents to ethical decision-making in the research literature. Since ethical norms and standards of behavior are not universally consistent, an individual’s choice of referent may exert a large influence on his/her ethical decision-making. This study used a social identity theory lens to empirically examine the relative influence of the macro- and micro-level variables of national culture and peers on an individual’s intention to behave ethically. Our sample consisted of respondents from Germany, Italy, and Japan. The results indicated that both national culture and peers were found to act as significant referents in ethical decision-making dilemmas. Although peers exerted a much stronger influence on an individual’s ethical decision-making, the impact of peers varied depending on the national culture levels of individualism and power distance.
