Managing citizen-initiated email contacts     

Chorng-Shyong  Shang-Wei   《Government Information Quarterly》2009,26(3):498-504

Citizen-initiated contacts, often with requests for services or information, complaints or opinions, occupy a great portion of citizen involvement with local governments. The ease and low cost of emails opens a new agenda for the contacts. Governments not only have to provide convenient and friendly access points on the websites to receive these voices, but also have to respond to them in a timely and responsive way. Responsiveness invites more usage and imposes more caseloads on bureaucrats and governments as well. How can a government develop and manage an efficient, timely and responsive citizen-initiated email handling system? We conduct a longitudinal in-depth case study of Taipei City Mayor's Mailbox, a successful citizen-initiated email handling system existing for over 12 years. Through the study of the development process, we find the actors, humans and non-humans, and their interplays shape the Mailbox. Several important issues are identified including an evolutionary, incremental and emergent process, citizens' dissatisfaction as an actor, continuous involvement of Mayor and Commissioners, and engaging street-level bureaucrats. The study contributes greatly to understand the evolution of E-Government which is underspecified in the E-Government literature.  相似文献   

Research as an intercultural ‘contact zone’     

Catherine Manathunga 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2009,30(2):165-177

Contemporary researchers need to work across many cultural boundaries between ethnicities, between disciplines, between universities and industry, between professional cultures, and between various workplace cultures. While many authors have sought to characterise aspects of this boundary work, there remains little research on how researchers, especially research higher degree students, might be adequately prepared to work sensitively in these cultural borderlands. This article draws upon the post-colonial concept of the ‘contact zone’ to reconceptualise the knowledge and skills required by the successful intercultural researcher. It demonstrates how recognition of and engagement with cultural difference can create deconstructive, productive possibilities for innovative research and new knowledge. The article also examines the consequences of a lack of intercultural sensitivity and equity – the symbolic violence and exploitation present in the contemporary research arena. This recasting of research has significant implications for future research training.  相似文献   

菲律宾文化的外来因素：殖民和开拓     

陈恒汉 《华侨大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2010,(2):96-102

菲律宾是多语言多文化的一个典型地区,历史上不同的殖民者（西班牙、美国）与开拓者（以闽南人为重点）都在菲律宾的语言文化生态中留下了不同的印记。从简述菲律宾的社会历史和语言生态变迁出发,分析菲律宾英语的本土化特点和闽南话在菲律宾的本地化,并以词汇与民俗为例观察中国南方文化（尤其是闽南文化）在菲律宾的传播,可以为菲律宾的语言接触及其文化生态的外来影响因素等提供一个跨文化角度的讲述。  相似文献

Aggregate gradation design of asphalt mixture with stone-to-stone contact based on fuller＇s model     

王立久  刘慧  赵善宇 《上海大学学报(英文版)》2010,14(5):387-390

Based on Fuller＇s model, a gradation design is presented for the load-carrying capacity of an asphalt mixture with stone-to-stone contact. The coarse aggregate gradation, fine aggregate and filler gradation are respectively designed for their different effects on an asphalt mixture with stone-to-stone contact. The equation of coarse aggregate gradation is deduced from the Fuller＇s model. Fine aggregate gradation is calculated by using Fuller＇s equation. The asphalt mixture with the 16 mm maximum size of aggregate is verified. When the coefficient of coarse aggregate gradation is 0.35 and fine aggregate gradation is 0.25, the volume parameters of asphalt mixture meet the technical specifications. Moreover, the high temperature stability and crack resistance at low temperature are all well.  相似文献

语言接触下的“广式普通话”分析     

金丽娜 《四川教育学院学报》2010,26(1):79-81

改革开放以来,广州话和普通话的接触日益加强,产生了一种由广州话向普通话过渡的过渡语——“广式普通话”,即带有广州话特点的普通话。语言接触对语言的语音、词汇和语法的演变有一定的影响,“广式普通话”在词汇语法方面受到的影响尤为明显,而对受到广州话干扰而产生的“广式普通话”的分析,对语言规范工作意义重大。  相似文献   

从中国与国际奥委会的交往看一个中国的原则     

张万余 《天水师范学院学报》2010,30(1)

维护一个中国的原则,谨防任何可能出现"两个中国"或"一中一台"的局面,是中国人民在国际民间事务交往中处理涉台问题的根本立场。国际奥委会作为非政府间的国际组织,中国在1922年就与其建立了直接联系。但在新中国成立后不久,由于国际奥委会在布伦代奇的操纵下,企图凭借这一国际体育组织,玩弄"两个中国"的政治阴谋,致使新中国与国际奥委会的交往经历了一段曲折的过程。这一过程体现了中国人民捍卫一个中国原则的坚定立场。  相似文献
