From trainees to trainers
In: Psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in China, Band 5, Heft 1, S. 131-135
ISSN: 2632-0142
Having benefitted from the psychodynamic psychotherapy training programmes offered in English by the China American Psychoanalytic Alliance, the authors have established local training programmes in Chinese to help those who have the potential and commitment to pursue the path of learning psychodynamic psychotherapy. They describe and reflect on the process of this attempt, with the goal of sharing their experience with colleagues who are interested in psychodynamic psychotherapy training in China.
Development of an Asset Value Map for Disaster Risk Assessment in China by Spatial Disaggregation Using Ancillary Remote Sensing Data
In: Risk analysis: an international journal, Band 38, Heft 1, S. 17-30
ISSN: 1539-6924
AbstractThe extent of economic losses due to a natural hazard and disaster depends largely on the spatial distribution of asset values in relation to the hazard intensity distribution within the affected area. Given that statistical data on asset value are collected by administrative units in China, generating spatially explicit asset exposure maps remains a key challenge for rapid postdisaster economic loss assessment. The goal of this study is to introduce a top‐down (or downscaling) approach to disaggregate administrative‐unit level asset value to grid‐cell level. To do so, finding the highly correlated "surrogate" indicators is the key. A combination of three data sets—nighttime light grid, LandScan population grid, and road density grid, is used as ancillary asset density distribution information for spatializing the asset value. As a result, a high spatial resolution asset value map of China for 2015 is generated. The spatial data set contains aggregated economic value at risk at 30 arc‐second spatial resolution. Accuracy of the spatial disaggregation reflects redistribution errors introduced by the disaggregation process as well as errors from the original ancillary data sets. The overall accuracy of the results proves to be promising. The example of using the developed disaggregated asset value map in exposure assessment of watersheds demonstrates that the data set offers immense analytical flexibility for overlay analysis according to the hazard extent. This product will help current efforts to analyze spatial characteristics of exposure and to uncover the contributions of both physical and social drivers of natural hazard and disaster across space and time.
Secure Pervasive Social Communications Based on Trust in a Distributed Way
Social network has extended its popularity from the Internet to mobile domain. Pervasive social networking (PSN) supports instant social activities based on self-organized mobile ad hoc networks. PSN is useful in reality when fixed networks are unavailable or inconvenient to access or when people are in vicinity. For supporting crucial PSN activities and enhancing user privacy, securing pervasive social communications becomes important. However, a solution based on a centralized server could be inapplicable in some specific situations (e.g., disasters and military activities) and suffers from DoS/DDoS attacks and internal attacks. How to automatically control data access in a trustworthy and efficient way in PSN is a challenge. In this paper, we propose two schemes to secure communication data in PSN purely based on local trust evaluated by PSN nodes in a distributed manner. Each node can control its data based on its trust in other nodes by applying attribute-based encryption. The advantages, security, and performance of the proposed scheme are evaluated and justified through serious analysis and implementation. The results show the efficiency and effectiveness of the schemes. In addition, we developed a mobile app based on Android platform to demonstrate the applicability and social acceptance of our schemes. ; Peer reviewed

Corporate Responsibility and Strategic Groups in the Forest‐based Industry: Exploratory Analysis based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Framework
In: Corporate social responsibility and environmental management, Band 19, Heft 4, S. 191-205
ISSN: 1535-3966
ABSTRACTA growing number of large forest industry companies have declared voluntary adoption of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines to avoid the lack of verification in reporting and to alleviate current criticisms of corporate responsibility (CR) practices. In this study, we use quantitative multivariate analysis of CR disclosure data (GRI indicators) from 66 forest industry firms. The results from cluster analysis show that 58% of the major companies in forest‐based industries are following what could be called a relatively defensive approach to CR, while companies proactive towards CR represent only a minority of the sample (18%), and one‐quarter of the companies could be classified as being 'stuck‐in‐the‐middle' in terms of CR. CR practices are found to run parallel to and beyond core business activities, number of employees, sales, and production in these three strategic groups. However, no strategic group level differences in terms of the location of headquarters or financial performance were found. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.
Team conflict at the core: Exploring the influence of critical team member conflict on team creative functioning
In: Journal of occupational and organizational psychology, Band 97, Heft 2, S. 424-451
ISSN: 2044-8325
AbstractScholars have long been intrigued by the relationship between intrateam conflict and team creativity, though findings to date have been mixed. Recent research suggests that traditional conceptualizations of intrateam conflict as a property that is shared uniformly by team members (e.g., averaging members' overall conflict perceptions), rather than a more nuanced phenomenon between individual members with unique network positions, have limited our understanding of its influences. These advances, however, have yet to be substantively applied to the intrateam conflict‐creativity literature. Accordingly, we integrate network views of conflict with creativity theory and group motivated processing models to explore how task and relationship conflicts involving critical members' (i.e., members central to a team's workflow network) influence team creative functioning beyond overall conflict perceptions. We theorize that critical member task conflict is positively associated with team creativity by way of team reflexivity, and this positive indirect effect is accentuated by team shared goals. Further, we posit that critical member relationship conflict is negatively associated with team creativity by way of reduced team cohesion, though this effect is mitigated by critical member emotional intelligence. Analyses of 70 new product development teams support most hypotheses while also highlighting interesting nuance and future research opportunities.
