In May of 1989 urban workers burst suddenly onto the Chinese political scene. They marched by the tens of thousands in huge Beijing street demonstrations, in delegations from hundreds of workplacesacts repeated on a smaller scale in cities throughout the country. While organized strikes were rare, small groups of dissident workers formed dozens of independent unions and other political groups from Sichuan to Shanghai, and from Inner Mongolia to Guangdong. The most visible, the Beijing Workers' Autonomous Union, set up in mid-April, had an organized presence on Tiananmen Square beginning in the week of the student hunger strike, claimed thousands of members, published dozens of handbills and political manifestos, and played an important role in organizing demonstrations after the declaration of martial law. The workers' unprecedented political response helped transform a vibrant student movement into the most severe popular challenge to Communist Party rule since 1949.

Full textAbstract:
For two and a half months in the spring of 1989, China's student actors dominated the world stage of modern telecommunications. Their massive demonstrations, the hunger strike during Gorbachev's visit, and the dramatic appearance of the Goddess of Democracy captured the attention of an audience that spanned the globe. As we write in mid-1990, the movement and its bloody suppression have already produced an enormous body of literature—from eyewitness accounts by journalists (Morrison 1989; Zhaoqiang, Gejing and Siyuan 1989) and special issues of scholarly journals (Australian Journal of Chinese Affairs Nos. 23, 24; The Fletcher Forum of World Affairs 14.4), to pictorial histories (Turnley and Turnley 1989) and documentary collections (Han 1990; Wu 1989), and, most recently, textbook chapters (Spence 1990) and analytical works (Feigon 1990; Nathan 1990)—tracing the development of China's crisis. Despite a flood of material too massive to review in the present context, we still lack a convincing interpretive framework that places the events within the context of China's modern political evolution, and also provides a way to compare China's experience to that of Eastern Europe. Such an interpretation should help us to understand why massive public demonstrations spurred an evolution toward democratic governance in Eastern Europe, but in China led only to the massacre of June 3–4 and the present era of political repression.

The present study was aimed to examine the role of trait-patience among university students in pursuit of goal and achieving subjective-wellbeing across the academic quarter. A sample of 300 university students (male = 108; female = 192) age ranged 18-35 years were selected from Rawalpindi and Islamabad. To measure study variables, Three-Factor Patience Scale (Schnitker 2012), Self-reported projects (Little, 1983), Positive and Negative Affect Scale (Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, Emmons, Larsen & Griffin, 1985) were used. Results revealed that individuals high in patience were more engaged in pursuit of personal projects, as compare to those with low trait- patience. It was also found that the trait-patience was significantly related with goal pursuit, achievement and well-being. In context of temporal effect, patience and goal pursuit was significant predictors of the goal achievement, while the subjective-well-being at the start of semester predicted the well-being across time. The present study would be useful for students and teachers to evaluate or manage the students to set goals and patiently strive to reach goal and well-being.

Following a three week faculty strike at Dalhousie University in 1988, questionnaires were obtained from 187 students concerning how the strike affected their academic work, emotions and opinions of the university. Results were analyzed separately for first year undergraduates, other undergraduates, and graduate or professional school students. There was much individual variability in reactions, but on average the strike had slightly negative academic and emotional effects but substantial negative effects on opinions about the university. Undergraduate students indicated the most academic disruption, and upper year undergraduates indicated the most negative opinions. There was no correlation, however, between degree of personally experienced academic disruption and degree of negative opinion. Another survey two years after the strike indicated the reestablishment of positive opinions. Implications for ameliorating the effects of a faculty strike are discussed.

Valparaiso University School of Law and the Christian Legal Society annually present a symposium on a critical public issue which is examined from a variety of perspectives. Between October 28-31, 1987, a major symposium was held entitled: “Perspectives on South African Liberation.” In the light of press and other media restrictions in effect since a state of emergency was declared in South Africa on June 12, 1986, and the banning of all political activity by 17 anti-apartheid organizations on February 24, 1988, it is crucial that the world community have access to current information and analysis concerning developments in that tragic land.The Pretoria regime has renewed the state of emergency for a third year following an unprecedented three-day nationwide protest strike on June 6-8 by more than two million black workers mobilized by the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and other anti-apartheid groups to protest the recent bannings, a proposed restrictive labor bill, the continuation of apartheid and the regime's violence. These comments are written on June 16, the 12th anniversary of the Soweto student uprising (now commonly known as South African Youth Day) as several million black workers again defied the regime by staying away from work in honor of the hundred of blacks killed following the 1976 protests against apartheid education.

ABSTRACT Background Asynchronous Web-based Medical Education in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) has grown steadily because of its many advantages. Various configurations and instructional methods are presently available. The existing proposals are poorly structured and/or not very effectively used for teaching diagnostic skills to undergraduate medical students in Brazil. A robust instructional method with positive pedagogical characteristics is needed. Thus, we have proposed a pedagogically-structured method for VLEs that includes a motivating initial reading (Medical Chronicle – MC), and a knowledge building program, using real cases coupled with audiovisual resources (Diagnostic Workshop – DW). We aimed to verify its acceptance, as well as the efficacy of the MC/DW method in improving the diagnostic ability of medical students, in the long term. Methods An opinion survey, two MC/DW materials and two Knowledge and Diagnostic Skills (KDS) questionnaires on stroke and epilepsy were developed, and two medical student groups were followed up in this 2013 longitudinal observational study. The students answered a KDS1, and attended a traditional lecture on one of the topics. They also accessed a VLE to apply the MC/DW method on stroke or epilepsy. We applied the same questionnaire (KDS2 and KDS3, respectively), one month and 5-6 months after the KDS1. We analyzed the mean KDS1 score of all the students, and the mean pairwise of those who accessed and those who did not access the VLEs during these three stages. An opinion survey was applied, and the results were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results 87 students participated in the study, but six were excluded as they did not answer the questionnaires. The KDS1 general mean score was 1.59 (SD0.71). We found that 66 students (81.5%) accessed the VLE, showing a significant improvement in diagnostic skills in the KDS2 (mean5.65, p<0.05) and KDS3 (mean 4.57, p<0.05), with non-significant variations for those who did not access it. The MC was considered at least good for 62 students (94%), with 52 students (78.8%) finding that a checklist was sufficient to clear up all their DW doubts. Conclusions The MC/DW method in VLE proved to be effective for improving the diagnostic capability of the undergraduate medical students in the long term, and it was well accepted by the students. It presents several positive pedagogical characteristics and can be replicated.

This study aims to verify the dimensionality of service quality within the context of Nigerian technological universities. Data for this study was collected from five public federal universities which are technology-oriented in Nigeria based on an adapted service quality questionnaire (ADSERVQUAL) from the original studies by Parasuraman et al. (1985, 1988). Respondents were students drawn from all faculties: engineering, management technology, environmental technology, science education, agricultural technology, pure and applied sciences and postgraduate studies. Factor analysis result gave rise to four dimensions from the 27 items of the ADSERVQUAL questionnaire, instead of the original five dimensions by Parasuraman et al. (1985, 1988). For this study, the four dimensions are named: empathy, tangibles, commitment and reliability. Dimensional analysis shows that students’ expectations were perceived to be higher than their perceptions of service quality, resulting to negative service quality perception. Therefore technological universities in Nigeria should strive towards reversing the negative perception of service quality by students in order to improve attachment. Managerial implication and suggestions for future research were made accordingly. Keywords: Technological Universities; Nigeria; attachment Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengesahkan dimensi kualiti perkhidmatan dalam konteks universiti yang berasaskan teknologi di Nigeria. Data untuk kajian ini telah diperolehi daripada lima universiti awam yang berasaskan teknologi di Nigeria berdasarkan asal soal selidik kualiti perkhidmatan yang telah diubahsuaikan (ADSERVQUAL) dari kajian asal oleh Parasuraman et al. (1985, 1988). Responden terdiri daripada pelajar yang dipilih dari semua fakulti: kejuruteraan, pengurusan teknologi, teknologi alam sekitar, pendidikan, sains teknologi pertanian, sains tulen dan gunaan dan pengajian siswazah. Faktor analisis telah berjaya menghasilkan empat dimensi daripada 27 item soalselidik ADSERVQUAL, bukan lima dimensi asal yang diperolehi oleh Parasuraman et al. (1985,1988). Untuk kajian ini, empat dimensi ini dinamakan: empati, tangibel, komitmen dan kebolehpercayaan. Analisis dimensi menunjukkan bahawa jangkaan pelajar dilihat lebih tinggi daripada persepsi mereka terhadap kualiti perkhidmatan, menyebabkan persepsi kualiti perkhidmatan yang negatif. Oleh itu, universiti yang berasaskan teknologi di Nigeria seharusnyaberusaha untuk menukar persepsi negatif oleh pelajar mereka untuk meningkatkan tahap kesetiaan.

University mission: The fight for reform at the Catholic University in ChileThe author asks about the mission of the university understood as an axiologically defined way of life. She follows the history of the university reform in Chile in the 20th century, its two key moments from the point of view of university reflection: the strike in 1949 and in 1967. She notes that the strike phenomenon, although contrary to the idea of the university, is a tool for the disclosure of the university community. Both strikes were organized by architecture students at private Catholic universities in Santiago and Valparaíso, respectively, hence the demands for total reorganization, research autonomy, modernization and democratization can be regarded as radical. The author describes the research and teaching practice of the so-called School of Valparaíso, which can be considered the most important source and largest beneficiary having been granted the Open City area of the university reform in Chile. The ideas of architect Alberto Cruz Covarrubias and poet Godofredo Iommi Marini are also a good case for analyzing the problem of university autonomy the issue of apoliticality and questions about when the university fails in its mission.

Full textAbstract:
À l’issue de la victoire des droites à l’élection législative de mars 1986, la France se trouve dans une situation politique inédite avec un exécutif dont les deux têtes n’ont pas la même couleurs politique : c’est la première cohabitation. Le gouvernement décide d’abroger la loi sur l’enseignement supérieur en vigueur depuis 1984. Alain Devaquet, le jeune ministre délégué à l’Enseignement supérieur et à la Recherche propose un nouveau texte. Mais sa propre majorité ne le considère pas comme suffisamment audacieux et ne s’inscrit pas dans la logique libérale du nouveau gouvernement. Le projet prend du retard et n’est présenté au Sénat qu’en octobre 1986. Peu offensifs depuis le printemps les étudiants et le principal syndicat, l’UNEF-ID dénoncent le texte et déclenchent un mouvement de contestation. Deux très grandes manifestations s’organisent en novembre et décembre. Des heurts violents entre les forces de l’ordre et les étudiants font basculer le mouvement dans une nouvelle dimension politique. Dans la nuit du 5 au 6 décembre, le jeune Malik Oussekine est frappé à mort par des policiers. L’opinion publique prend fait et cause pour les étudiants. Redoutant une crise politique majeure, le gouvernement retire le projet de loi le 10 décembre. On aura retenu de cette crise que la phase la plus aigüe, mais il s’avère que ce projet de loi possédait les germes son propre échec à sa création. Mais au-delà de la crise estudiantine, la situation cohabitationniste tout d’abord, mais surtout les antagonismes persistants entre les deux partis de la coalition de droite, le RPR et l’UDF fragilisé le bon déroulement de l’élaboration et la mise en place du projet de loi DevaquetIn March 1986, right-wing parties’ victory in France’s parliamentary elections place the country in an unprecedented situation: the two “chiefs” of the executive, the sitting president and the Prime Minister of the newly elected majority, do not lean the same way politically. This is the first “cohabitation,” as it will come to be called. The newly elected government decides to repeal the 1984 law on universities. Alain Devaquet, the junior minister for Universities and Research, introduces a new bill. But his own majority considers that the reform does not go far enough or promote market based reforms aggressively enough. The bill is only introduced into the Senate in October 1986. Although throughout the spring, students and the main student union, the UNEF-ID, had remained very muted, in the fall, massive protests start. Two huge demonstrations are organized, in November and December. Clashes with the police suddenly catapult the movement into a different political dimension, when on the night of December 5, 1986, policemen beat young Malik Oussekine to death. Public opinion sides with the students. Fearing a major political crisis, the government drops the bill on December 10, 1986. Most remember this dramatic context as what cut short the Devaquet reforms, but in reality, the seeds of failure were there all along: beyond the student protests, one must look to the institutional context created by the anomalous “cohabitation,” and especially, to the antagonism between France’s two right-wing parties (RPR and UDF), which undermined the Devaquet bill at every stage, setting it up to fail

Full textAbstract:
The 1984-5 Miners’ Strike drew upon an exceedingly broad basis of support from representatives of the churches and trade unions to environmentalists, feminists, students, anti-nuclear campaigners, peace activists and inner city radicals. The strike was sustained by an extensive network of miners’ support groups working closely with the mining communities. This chapter analysis the composition, methods and effectiveness of the groups which raised prodigious amounts of money. By emphasising their gender and sexuality, Women Against Pit Closures and Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners presented a substantive challenge to the chauvinistic attitudes of the coalfields. Working-class women’s activism drew upon equal rights traditions established in the mining areas between the wars. The support demonstrated by some trade unions and individual trade unionists is contrasted to the equivocation of the TUC and the support offered by the Communist Party (despite its internal divisions) and by many Labour authorities, councillors and constituency Labour Parties which contrasted with the position taken by Neil Kinnock as Labour Party leader.

This chapter covers the tumultuous 1960s at UNC and beyond, and at the Daily Tar Heel. The 1960 Dixie Classic, UNC’s most infamous sports scandal, is discussed, as is a 1961 speech on campus by President John F. Kennedy. The Civil Rights Movement is covered in detail, as Chapel Hill was a center for protest; the student newspaper took on a new activist role during this time, sending reporters across the South to report on Civil Rights events. The infamous Speaker Ban Law is examined in detail, 1963-1968. In 1963 UNC became completely co-educational, and the changes on campus and the issues facing women students is explored, including the role of the sexual revolution, access to birth control, and the fight over legalizing abortion. The major shift in state politics, away from one-party Democratic rule is discussed, and the rise of conservative politician Jesse Helms, who used UNC and the Daily Tar Heel as examples of extreme liberalism and permissiveness to help build his political base. The Vietnam War, the 1969 UNC Foodworker’s Strike, gay rights, and contributions of later renowned cartoonist Jeff MacNelly on the newspaper are other topics in this chapter

Having overthrown the pro-Washington Shah, Khomeini set out to purge the Iranian state and society of American influence. He was aided by the surprise occupation of the United States Embassy in Tehran in November 1979 by militant students. The capture of secret CIA reports on the Middle East by the Iranian occupiers gave credibility to the regime’s description of the Embassy as a “nest of spies,” and created a rationale for taking 52 US diplomats as hostage. The crisis lasted 444 days and ended with Ronald Reagan’s inauguration as president in January 1981 after his defeat of the incumbent Jimmy Carter, a Democrat. Quite independently, Saudi King Khalid faced an unprecedented challenge to the legitimacy of the House of Saud when on the eve of .the Islamic New Year of 1400 – 20 November 1979 – hundreds of armed militant Wahhabis, led by Juheiman al Utaiba seized the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Utaiba called for the overthrow of the royal family for deviating from Wahhabism. Aided by the American and French intelligence agencies and Pakistani soldiers, the government regained control of the Grand Mosque. It then took remedial action by imposing strict Wahhabi rules on the social-cultural life of citizens.

This chapter examines the statutory strict liability for damage arising from defective products as set out in the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and the EEC Directive on Product Liability. It begins by considering the apportionment of risks associated with products and the development risks defence before turning to similarities between statutory liability and common law liabilities based on negligence and on strict liability. It then looks at the reasons why it is misleading to consider ‘product liability’ in isolation and the concept of defectiveness.

Students in the 1939—1940 academic year had more reason than ever to worry that they might soon be carrying rifles instead of textbooks. With the start of classes in September came news of Hitler’s invasion of Poland, followed by the British and French declarations of war against Germany. Before the first month of classes had ended, the Nazi conquest of Poland was complete. The great European war, which American student activists had spent much of the decade trying to prevent, was at hand. There followed several tense months without hostilities, Europe’s “phony war.” But any hopes that this was more than a temporary lull were shattered during the spring semester when Hitler struck again, launching Blitzkriegs which defeated Denmark and Norway in April and the Low Countries in May. The most shocking blow of all came at graduation time, when American students learned that France had fallen to a Nazi invasion. Although this news from Europe was horrible, it should have strengthened the student movement in the United States. After all, the movement’s most influential organizations—the ASU and Youth Congress—had spent years warning Americans of the threat that Nazi Germany posed to world peace. Hitler’s aggression had borne out those warnings. America seemed on the verge of adopting the anti-fascist position long advocated by the student movement. Even Congress began to move away from strict neutrality and rigid isolationism by repealing the arms embargo so as to aid Great Britain. All of this could have enhanced the student movement’s prestige, conferring upon its activists a prophetic cast. Hitler’s march through Europe should also have boosted the American student movement because it gave students an added impetus for turning out at rallies, lectures, and other movement events to protest Nazi aggression. At a time of surging student anxiety about a potential United States entry into the war, the student movement might have expanded greatly by continuing to carry its hopeful message that America could stay out of war by supplying Hitler’s foes in Europe. But instead of growing in this new crisis atmosphere, the American student movement began to crumble.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines why so many young Jews from east European immigrant backgrounds in England set out to become doctors, when this trend began, and how it gathered momentum. The concentration of the immigrant generation in England in the tailoring, cabinet-making, and shopkeeping businesses meant that Jewish families favoured self-employment—an inclination further encouraged by the difficulty of maintaining strict sabbath observance when working for non-Jewish or public authority employers. The professions of medicine and law were more prestigious and generated higher incomes than the manual occupations or shopkeeping, but nevertheless were based on the same model of self-employment, and this attracted upwardly mobile Jewish men and women into them. Moreover, employment prospects in the medical profession were believed to be reasonably good. The chapter then considers the rate of recruitment of Jewish medical students in London and the leading provincial centres with large immigrant populations—Manchester, Leeds, and Liverpool. It also discusses whether or not there was antisemitism in the admissions policy of the medical schools, and how important antipathy towards Jews was among English medical students.

<em>Abstract</em>.—Striped bass <em>Morone saxatilis</em>, originally a coastal and estuarine species, has been introduced in reservoirs in the southeastern and western United States. Although such stocking established many successful fisheries, there were troublesome die-offs of adult striped bass (3–9 kg, generally >5 kg) in some waters, usually in late summer. In contrast, juveniles and small adults thrived. In response to these patterns, my students and I conducted several years of telemetry studies of adult striped bass, primarily in Cherokee and Watts Bar reservoirs, Tennessee, and laboratory studies of juvenile temperature selection. In 1985, I published the “temperature–oxygen squeeze” hypothesis to explain mortalities of large fish on the basis of limited availability of cool (<25°C), oxygenated (>2 mg/L) water in summer while juveniles successfully occupied a warmer thermal niche (>25°C). We now have more than 20 years of research and management since 1985, primarily across the Southeast, in which the published hypothesis has, explicitly or not, been tested, generally confirmed, and applied to management. This retrospective paper reviews the studies our team conducted to develop and test the hypothesis and about 20 years of relevant studies by others that have added important nuances, addressed lingering issues, and turned a controversial idea into generally accepted understanding and management practice. Nonetheless, issues remain for understanding the effects of poor summer habitat on striped bass, such as why some studies show striped bass occupying warmer temperatures without mortalities and the role of prey availability in survival of fish obliged to occupy warm water. Other papers in this volume augment and extend the saga of progressively developing knowledge that this paper recalls of striped bass habitat requirements, thermal niche segregation by size (or age), and management constraints and opportunities.

Article 14 (protection from discrimination) and Art 6 (right to a fair trial) are also outlined. Whilst compliance with Art 1 of the First Protocol has required little change in domestic law, a recent string of cases concerning compliance with Art 8 and repossession of the home has demonstrated that a new approach is necessary to comply with human rights norms.

Full textAbstract:
On a warm October afternoon in Leipzig, a hunched-over figure sits in the shadow of the monumental plastic sculpture “Aufbruch” (“Beginning”), a legacy of socialist realism that depicts a group of people struggling to move forward, as if awakening to political consciousness. Heike is tense; she gazes fixedly down at the ground, her hands clasped tightly in front of her. She is brooding on her quarter-century in the SED as a student and then professor here at Karl-Marx Universität—now, in 1991, again called Leipzig University. “Nie wieder,” repeats Heike. “Never again.” Never would she join the reconstituted SED, now called the PDS. Never again would she join any party or movement, of whatever political stripe. She is not quoting the campaign slogan used by the CDU in March 1990—already a bygone era—but is simply expressing a personal statement. Politics holds no interest for her. Her experience in the SED has disillusioned her toward—or, as she says, “inoculated” her against—party and ideological appeals. Permanently. “I have learned my lesson,” Heike says. Looking up, she follows my gaze to the grotesque socialist realist sculpture, remarking that, since the Wende in 1989, she has been looking at it with a new eye. Across the courtyard stands a much older sculpture: a towering statue of Leibniz. Heike turns to it, deliberately, as if appealing to the wise old Leipzig professor—indeed to the classical spirit of the Enlightenment itself—for guidance and support. I’m still thinking about the marches that brought down the SED regime and East Germany itself, only two Octobers ago. Just a few yards beyond Leibniz is the sacred spot where the already historic marches arose and the “We are The People” chants against the Honecker regime began. Heike, 46, a wissenschaftliche Assistentin (lecturer) in Slavic literature at the University, speaks in soft German—entirely free of Americanisms, unlike the speech of most West Germans—about her decades in the Party. Pale yet animated, her face is vital with expression, if lined with years; like many eastern German women, she wears no makeup.
