Research on Safety Supervision Model of Shanxi Group Coal Enterprises

After integration of coal resources and corporate mergers and acquisitions, Shanxi Province constantly adjusted and explored supervision system for large group coal enterprises, for the purpose of playing all levels of governments on safety supervision of coal enterprises and making Shanxi coal mine safe. Native supervision model of Henan and direct supervision model of Shanxi were made comparison from 3 aspects, supervision ability, supervision mode and supervision tasks. The supervision cases of Poly Energy Group, and China Coal Energy Company were proved that native supervision could take advantage of all coal sectors, which is to take daily supervision mainly and security supervision as a sufficient complement. Native supervision needs to be improved to establish feedback mechanisms in order to play the advantages of two comprehensive supervision modes.

Predictors of Drug Treatment Completion Among Parole Violators

This study examined the predictors of treatment completion among 380 state parole violators consecutively admitted to a comprehensive 12-month drug treatment program in lieu of reincarceration. Offenders were placed on intensive parole supervision throughout the 12-month treatment protocol and received three months of residential substance abuse treatment followed by nine months of outpatient counseling. Overall 123 (32.4%) of the offenders completed the 12-month treatment protocol. The primary reason for noncompletion was a positive drug screen. Bivariate analyses were performed to determine independent predictors of program completion. Four variables (age, past 30-day heroin use, total months incarcerated, and significant problems with mother) from the baseline Addiction Severity Index were found to be correlated with treatment completion (p < .10). These factors and other demographics (race, marital status, education) and variables found predictive of program completion in previous studies were entered into a multiple logistic regression model. Overall the final model found that only two factors—older age (p < .03) and no heroin use in the past 30 days (p < .02) significantly predicted treatment completion. These findings suggest that among parolees with moderate to extensive criminal justice histories younger individuals and those with recent heroin use respond less favorably to comprehensive substance abuse treatment services and intensive parole supervision.

Chancen und Herausforderungen eines modernen Campus-Managements. Vortrag auf der 8. DINI-Jahrestagung in der Carl-von-Ossietzky-Universität Oldenburg am 9. Oktober 2007

The changes in IT at universities in recent years reflect a trend toward the integration of a range of university departments which had previously been working independently of one another. The need for such an integration has arisen because students and staff have come to expect numerous services to be available as self-service functions - analogous to everyday life - and thus free up time for studies and research. In implementing such a broad range of integrated services universities are facing major technical and organizational challenges. Operating procedures and responsibilities have been rarely documented in full, thus making comprehensive planning, supervision and operationalization difficult. The Polytechnical University of Berlin (TU Berlin) began to deal with these problems three years ago by implementing a new planning and management structure in the field of information and communication (luK). This article describes how a Chief Information Officer (CIO) has been embedded in the university's executive board, the service sections in the IT department consolidated, and a consistent model for cooperation implemented, and interdisciplinary committees set up. Parallel to this, on the technical side, a service portal has been established to enable direct access to IT services at the computer center and administrative offices in combination with an identity management system.

Strategies for Facilitation of Tendon Transfers for Enhanced Wrist Extension in Cerebral Palsy: A Case Report

Strategies for facilitation of tendon transfers following surgery for enhanced wrist extension in a patient with cerebral palsy are described. The therapeutic process began prior to surgery with a thorough pre-operative assessment and evaluation. This case report emphasises the effectiveness of a closely monitored therapeutic programme following surgery, and promotes the comprehensive utilisation and supervision of facilitation techniques during subsequent rehabilitation.

Cook Islands: Assessment of the Supervision and Regulation of the Financial Sector Volume II--Detailed Assessment of Observance of Standards and Codes

This paper focuses on key findings of the detailed assessment of observance of standards and codes in the financial sector of the Cook Islands (CI). The new legal framework in CI represents an important first step in correcting deficiencies, as they are all addressed in the new set of laws. The framework empowers the Financial Services Commission to license, supervise, and regulate the financial sector. It also provides it with enforcement authority in the event of noncompliance with the law, and to cooperate with foreign supervisors where necessary for implementation of comprehensive supervision on a consolidated basis.

SUPERVISION AS THE ART OF CREATIVELY BALANCING TENSIONS

Introduction Providing comprehensive pastoral psychotherapy supervision in a postmodern, pluralistic, and theologically diverse context requires that one carefully balance multiple interests and perspectives. All of this must be done with theological integrity—for the supervisor, supervisee, and client. This is more complex and difficult when the supervisor, supervisee, and/or client operate with different theological assumptions and values. Thus the supervisor must always be prepared to creatively hold differences in tension, and to embrace the creative dynamics that arise from these tensions. I have come to understand the practice of supervision as the art of creatively balancing tensions. This involves identifying salient tensions in the supervisory process with each supervisee—both in general and at various moments in each supervision session. It then involves sustaining a dynamic balance between and among multiple tensions. These tensions, as I have experienced them and noted them in the supervision literature, are structural (e.g., hierarchical vs. egalitarian supervisory relationship), procedural (e.g., attending to process vs. content; teaching vs. responding to the supervisee), perspectival (e.g., learning problems vs. supervision problems; psychotherapeutic vs. theological understandings of daily life), theoretical (e.g., intrapsychic vs. interpersonal [including systemic/ cultural] focus), and role-related (e.g., clinical vs. administrative fonctions). Most importantly, for the focus of this paper, there are theological tensions to be balanced as well (e.g., forgiveness vs. judgment). Maintaining these tensions stimulates the creative processes and energies that arise from the tensions.

The psychological impact of custody on the aboriginal adolescent

This study examined the psychological impact of custody on 39 Aboriginal and 42 Non‐Aboriginal adolescents aged 12–18 years. Anxiety, depression, hopelessness, locus of control, self‐efficacy beliefs and coping or problem beliefs were examined. Results indicate that Aboriginal adolescents experience a greater sense of anxiety about custody than Non‐Aboriginal adolescents. This level of anxiety experienced appears related to anxiety beliefs regarding their experience of custody and a significantly high level of negative beliefs about custody. Aboriginal adolescents were also found to have poorer coping skills linked to lower self‐efficacy and more external locus of control than Non‐Aboriginal adolescents. Clinical implications that could be considered might include the development of culturally sensitive programmes that assist in the reduction of anxiety and a more comprehensive induction and supervision process for Aboriginal adolescents in custody.

A Private Practice Supervisory Evaluation Format

Supervisors in private practice face specific problems not encountered in formal training and academic settings. A supervisory evaluation format developed by its authors to address some of those problems is described. The format requires the logging of goals, procedures, evaluations and plans over time, and provides a ready reference for writing comprehensive supervision reports.

Concept of a knowledge based diagnostic system for machine tools and manufacturing cells

One of the most important conditions for highly integrated manufacturing systems is the ability for the automatic recognition of different—incipient, partial, total and catastrophic—failure situations. Obviously this necessitates enhanced requirements for the monitoring and diagnostic systems applied in these manufacturing complexes, which means they must correspond—in performance, complexity and intelligence—to the entire material and data-processing system. Having summarized the principal requirements for comprehensive supervision of machine tools and manufacturing cells, the concept of a hierarchical monitoring and diagnostic system for manufacturing cells is introduced. Special emphasis is given to the cell-level part of the system, which incorporates knowledge based techniques. The structure of the cell-level diagnostic system, the chosen internal knowledge representation and maintenance approaches and reasoning procedures are treated.

Maternity Continuity Clinic

Within the last 10 years, the focus of service in outpatient departments and clinics of hospitals has changed from dispensing first aid to giving ambulatory care. As a result, the ambulatory care department is now the most dynamic change-oriented department in many hospitals. As part of this change, nursing service in the ambulatory care setting has discarded the managerial role and replaced it with a carecentered, more independent role in which nurses are expanding their functions of educating patients, providing supportive guidance, and making observations. In this role, the professional nurse becomes the health professional who is the one primarily responsible for delivery of health care to a specific patient population( 1,2,3). One such change resulted from an experiment in nursing at University Hospitals of Cleveland when nursing clinical directors examined areas within their services in which the nurse's role could be expanded in this way(4,5). A comprehensive health care program for pregnant women was b gun with professional nurses providing comprehensive health supervision and care to women who were

How Effective Is Aftercare?

This study compares 198 delinquent boys placed in boarding homes or group homes or returned to their own homes after release from an institution. The results indicate that boys placed in boarding homes and group homes were approximately similar in most background and social factors, while boys returned to their own homes differed significantly in a number of factors. Boys placed in boarding or group homes came from lower socio-economic backgrounds and less cohesive families than those returned to their own homes. However, even with socio-economic status equalized over the three samples, approximately the same pattern of similarities and differences in background factors and institutional and postrelease adjustment variables emerged. The results also indicate that boys subsequently placed in boarding or group homes had fewer prior court referrals, displayed a better institutional and postrelease adjustment, and continued to show a better adjustment than those returned to their own homes. These results suggest that a longer stay in the institution and more comprehensive supervision by probation-parole agents may be necessary for many boys returned to their own homes, particularly those showing a poorer-than-average institutional ad justment or having a relatively long prior record.
