Do Finnish home economics and health education textbooks promote constructivist learning in nutrition education?

In Finnish secondary schools, nutrition education is integrated mainly in home economics and health education lessons. The aim of this research was to describe the content and pedagogical style in food‐ and nutrition‐related texts in secondary school textbooks. Textbooks are important learning tools in education in so far as they reflect current pedagogical thinking and the objectives set in the national core curriculum. The study data consisted commonly used home economics (n = 4) and health education (n = 3) textbooks. Nutrition contents of the textbooks were compatible with the national core curriculum. The scope of nutrition education in health education textbooks was health centred, whereas home economics textbooks considered also cultural and environmental aspects of nutrition education. All textbooks considered adolescents' current nutrition issues. The pedagogical style was usually participative in exercises and neutral informative in a plain text; however, a considerable amount of text was written on using a persuasive style. Overall, textbook pedagogical style supported the constructivist idea of learning, and textbooks can be a positive agent for change as we strive towards a better nutrition health in children and adolescents.

Home injuries in Italy: patterns of injury and the most exposed people

Home injuries are a significant public health problem in developed and developing countries. To support future policies for reducing their occurrence and controlling their consequences, this study investigated the home injuries situation in Italy in 1999, using a nation-representative sample. The weighted correspondence analysis showed four different patterns of injury and seven profiles of the people most exposed to them. As results of this study falls were followed by bumps and cuts requiring specialist assistance then burns. Women were the most exposed to burn and fall risks and men to the risk of cuts and bumps. Among the elderly and children, falls and bumps leading to fractures, wounds or other consequences were frequent. The risks were highest for people with a lower level of education. Bumps and cuts were prevalent among unmarried and with the highest education level subjects. These injury risks were higher for young males. Cuts in adults doing do-it-yourself jobs had the worst consequences, while domestic work cuts generally did not need medical treatment. Burns occurred almost exclusively in the kitchen (90%) and did not need specialist assistance. Because home injuries are largely preventable, an efficient public health policy could promote and disseminate home safety culture.     

School backpack weights: a survey of students in Ghana,Guatemala and the USA

Cross-sectional studies were conducted in conveniently selected schools in Ghana, Guatemala, and the USA to quantify and compare the percentage of body weight carried by students in their backpacks as well as assess parental knowledge of the backpack weights and contents. Mean backpack weights varied significantly by country and increased significantly with increasing student grade. In the USA, girls significantly carried heavier backpacks (p <.0001). The backpack loads represented an average of 7.7% (95% CI = 7.4–8.0), 9.7% (95% CI = 9.2–10.2), and 9.4% (95% CI = 9.1–9.8) of student body weights in Ghana, Guatemala, and the USA, respectively. No student in Ghana carried a wheeled backpack in contrast to 6% and 2.8%, respectively, in Guatemala and the USA. In Ghana, 4.1 and 73.6% of parents were reported to be aware of their children's backpack weights and contents, respectively, compared to 21.9 and 57.5% in Guatemala, and 7.7 and 55.3% in the USA. Backpack loads respresent a significant percentage of the body weights of students in all three countries. The vast majority of parents are unaware of their child's backpack weight.     

法学教育与司法考试的互动关系之探究

法学教育的分层以及社会对法律人才的多样性需求,决定了法学本科教育、法学研究生教育、法律硕士教育的目标分别是通识教育、学术教育、职业教育,而不应以通过司法考试作为其目标。司法考试的部分内容需要纳入法学教育的环节,法学教育者须关注司法考试中部分试题答案所反映的基本观点,避免出现＂知识即权力＂的现象。为优化法学教育结构,我国宜取消法学非普通高校教育、专科教育及非正规教育;要求只有完成了正规高等院校法学本科以上学历教育者方可参加司法考试;司法考试应该减少选择题并加大主观题的考察力度,并且增加口试。     

高等学校学术权力与行政权力关系刍议

本文首先分析了我国高等学校内部权力资源的分配具有情境性和模糊性的特点,更由于“双肩挑”现象的存在使得权力主体的判定难度增加,所以在实践策略上,应该淡化两种权力——学术权力与行政权力“异同”的比较,提倡依据具体情境的不同,正确行使权力,做出最为合理决策的权变观点。

An Empirical Investigation of the Relationship Between Change in Corporate Social Performance and Financial Performance: A Stakeholder Theory Perspective

Stakeholder theory provides a framework for investigating the relationship between corporate social performance (CSP) and corporate financial performance. This relationship is investigated by examining how change in CSP is related to change in financial accounting measures. The findings provide some support for a tenet in stakeholder theory which asserts that the dominant stakeholder group, shareholders, financially benefit when management meets the demands of multiple stakeholders. Specifically, change in CSP was positively associated with growth in sales for the current and subsequent year. This indicates that there are short-term benefits from improving CSP. Return on sales was significantly positively related to change in CSP for the third financial period, indicating that long-term financial benefits may exist when CSP is improved.     

新时代产教共享生态系统建构研究

建构产教共享生态系统是将职业教育产教融合推向深入的重要途径。在产教共享生态系统中,政府是统筹规划者,企业是系统主导者,高职院校是积极参与者,中介组织发挥着黏合剂和催化剂的作用。新时代构建产教共享生态系统是转变职业教育形态、推进职业教育创新的有效途径,是推动产业发展的动力源泉。就建构路径而言,政府要发挥协调职能,完善与产教融合配套的政策法规建设;企业要强化主体作用,树立社会责任意识;高职院校要调整人才培养模式,增强服务地方产业能力;中介组织要协同构建,扩宽产教融合渠道。

服务业外国直接投资与天津市经济增长关系的实证分析

服务业外国直接投资(FDI)是当前跨国投资的主体,随着国内服务业市场的逐步开放,服务业外国直接投资对区域经济增长的作用不可低估。1990-2006年的数据表明,天津市服务业引进的外国直接投资发展迅速,并对天津市的经济增长起到了促进作用,发挥显著作用的路径为通过增加就业、引进软技术促进经济增长,而注入资金、优化产业结构、增加贸易等其他路径的作用并不显著。     

职业教育产教融合的路径优化

只有明确我国职业教育产教融合的建设标准与融合维度,精准判断职业教育产教融合的逻辑机理,从强制性、规范性、认知性三个维度构建职业教育产教融合的制度,并对职业教育产教融合的机制进行创新,才能从根本上有效解决我国职业教育与产业发展之间及教育链、人才链与产业链、创新链之间有机衔接不足的问题。     

中国经济增长与环境污染关系的空间计量分析

通过空间计量分析方法,实证中国内地31个省域经济增长与环境污染之间的关系,结果表明:省域经济增长存在全局空间自相关和局部空间自相关;废渣污染的减少可以在较大程度上推动经济增长,且这种作用逐年增强;废气污染大的工业对经济增长的贡献较大,并有不断增加的趋势;废水污染大的工业对经济增长的贡献不显著,说明经济增长摆脱了对其的依赖。另外,在实证中还发现,与空间计量模型相比,普通回归模型由于忽略了空间因素,低估了环境污染对经济增长的影响作用。
