Curriculating Powerful Knowledge for Public Managers and Administrators     

Jacqueline Lück  Sioux McKenna  Marcelle Harran 《Africa Education Review》2020,17(3):90-106

Abstract

Public Management and Public Administration are important professions for an emerging democracy such as South Africa. They operate as the interface between state and public and are responsible for enacting many of the government's policies and social initiatives. Concerns about a lack of capacity in the sector suggest that those in these roles may be unable to meet the demands of the workplace. This article reports on a study that responded to calls for the curriculum to address such concerns by interrogating the knowledge structures of Public Management and Public Administration programmes in higher education. Interviews, textbooks and course guides were analysed to illuminate the forms of knowledge being legitimated in curricula. The study found that the focus on knowledge, skills and processes might be at the expense of a focus on the development of particular attributes or dispositions in the knowers. Furthermore, the knowledge level focus was limited in that it was highly contextualised and “light” on theory, raising questions about the acquisition of powerful knowledge needed for good governance and critical engagement in the public sector. The study recommends that both programmes include more conceptual knowledge; exposure to critical powerful forms of knowledge; and the development of particular attributes and dispositions.  相似文献   

有机物料施用量对土壤CO_2排放速率的影响   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

严红  魏湜  张雷  夏国芳  戴先锋  王帆 《大连大学学报》2005,26(4):46-50

本试验选用有机碳含量不同的黑土,研究了有机物料施用量对土壤CO2排放速率的影响.研究表明,施用有机物料以后CO2排放速率明显增加,5%和3%处理CO2排放速率增加幅度显著高于2%和1%处理.有机碳分解初期CO2排放速率增加较快,波动性大,后期趋于稳定,其相对值大小随有机物料施用量及土壤有机碳含量增加而增加,即6号土>5号土>4号土>1号土.3号土性质与其它土壤样品略有不同,CO2排放速率偏高.  相似文献

汉语方言中两种差量式差比句使用情况的考察     

袁海霞 《培训与研究》2008,25(6):25-29

“A＋比＋B＋W＋Z”和“A＋W＋B＋Z”是两种带比较差值的差比句句式,广泛分布在汉语方言中。本文探讨它们在汉语方言区中的分布情况、交替机制以及竞争状态。和“A＋W＋B”不同,“A＋W＋B＋Z”普遍存留在汉语方言中,其原因有待考察。  相似文献   

Numerical Simulation of Dynamic Response and Collapse for Steel Frame Structures Subjected to Blast Load   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

ZHANG Xiuhua    DUAN Zhongdong  ZHANG Chunwei 《天津大学学报(英文版)》2008,(Z1)

The progressive collapse of steel frame structures under the blast load was investigated using LS-DYNA. The multi-material Eulerian and Lagrangian coupling algorithm was adopted. A flu-id-structure coupling finite element model was established which consists of Lagrange element for simulating steel frame structures and concrete ground, multiple ALE element for simulating air and TNT explosive material. Numerical simulations of the blast pressure wave propagation, struc-tural dynamic responses and deformation, and progressive collapse of a five-story steel frame structure in the event of an explosion near above ground were performed. The numerical analysis showed that the Lagrangian and Eulerian coupling algorithm gave good simulations of the shock wave propagation in the mediums and blast load effects on the structure. The columns subjected to blast load may collapse by shear yielding rather than by flexural deformation. The columns and joints of steel beam to column in the front steel frame structure generated enormous plastic defor-mation subjected to intensive blast waves, and columns lost carrying capacity, subsequently lead-ing to the collapse of the whole structure. The approach coupling influence between struc-tural deformation and fluid load well simulated the progressive collapse process of structures, and provided an effective tool for analyzing the collapse mechanism of the steel frame structure under blast load.  相似文献

Optimal sizing of piezo-actuators for minimum-deflection design of frames under uncertain loads     

Sarp Adali  Ibrahim S. Sadek  James M. Sloss 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2007,344(5):698-710

Optimal piezo-actuator sizes and locations for a frame structure under bending load uncertainty are determined with the objective of minimizing the deflection under worst case of loading. The bending moments generated by the piezo-actuators are used for deflection control, i.e., to minimize the maximum deflection. The frame is subjected to a tip load which lies in an uncertainty domain with regard to its magnitude and direction. The specific uncertain loading studied in the present paper involves a load of given magnitude but of unknown direction, which should be determined to produce the highest deflection. The worst case of loading depends on the size and location of the actuators leading to a nested problem of optimization (design) and anti-optimization (uncertainty problem). Results are given for deterministic and uncertain loading conditions.  相似文献   

Influence of coherent structures in the gas-particle circular cylinder wake flow     

嵇峰 刘兰樊建人  岑可法 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2005,6(10):1132-1136

INTRODUCTION Turbulent gas-particle flows are frequently found in natural phenomena and industrial processes.Cases of cylinders in cross flows with particles occur in heat exchange equipment,including the convective zone of a fluidized-bed combustor,and in the primary superheaters,reheaters,and economizers of coal-fired boilers.Coherent structures often occur in the above-mentioned gas-particle flow,and have great effect on such different systems,while some features of tur-bulent multiphas…  相似文献
