排除外界干扰激发潜能英语作文Unleashing Potential by Eliminating External Distractions.In the tapestry of human life, countless threads of potential lie dormant, obscured beneath layers of external distractions. These distractions, like a relentless cacophony, drown out the whispers of our true capabilities and stifle the growth of our latent abilities. To unleash our fullest potential, we must embark on a journey of self-discovery, shedding the weight of distractions and embracing the silence within.The Nature of Distractions.External distractions manifest in myriad forms, each vying for our attention and diverting us from our intended path. Social media, with its endless stream ofnotifications and captivating content, lures us into a vortex of wasted time and mental dissipation. The incessantbuzz of emails and text messages disrupts our concentration and fragments our thoughts. The physical environment, too, can be a source of distraction, from the flickering of fluorescent lights to the hum of office machinery.The Impact of Distractions on Potential.The detrimental effects of external distractions on our potential are profound. They rob us of focus and clarity, hindering our ability to engage in deep and meaningful work. By constantly bombarding us with information and stimulation, distractions create a cognitive overload, making it difficult for us to process informationeffectively and solve problems creatively. Furthermore, distractions erode our willpower and discipline, making it more challenging to resist temptations and stay on track.The Path to Distraction-Free Productivity.Unleashing our potential requires a conscious and deliberate effort to minimize external distractions. This can be achieved through various strategies:Technology Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries around technology use. Set aside specific times for checking emails, social media, and other potentially distracting apps. Consider using apps that block or limit access to distracting websites during work hours.Designated Workspaces: Create a dedicated workspacethat is free from distractions. This could be a quiet corner of your home, a library, or a coworking space. Ensure that your workspace is well-lit, comfortable, and conducive to focus.Time Blocking: Break down your day into time blocks and allocate specific tasks to each block. This technique helps you stay focused on one task at a time and prevents your mind from wandering.Mindfulness Techniques: Practice mindfulness techniques such as meditation or deep breathing exercises to calm the mind and reduce distractions. These practices help you develop greater awareness of your thoughts and emotions,allowing you to let go of distracting thoughts more easily.The Benefits of Reduced Distractions.When we minimize external distractions, we open up space for our potential to flourish. We experience increased focus and clarity, enabling us to tackle complex tasks with greater efficiency. Our creativity and problem-solving abilities are enhanced as we are able to delve deeper into our thoughts and generate innovative ideas. Furthermore, reduced distractions lead to improved well-being and reduced stress levels, creating a more balanced and fulfilling life.Conclusion.Unleashing our potential is not a mere aspiration but an achievable goal. By eliminating external distractions and creating an environment conducive to focus and productivity, we can shed light on the hidden depths of our capabilities and reach our full potential. Embracing thesilence within, we unlock the symphony of our true selves and embark on a journey of limitless possibilities.。

·综述·SYSTEMS MEDICINE系统医学系统医学2019年10月第4卷第20期卫生健康事业发展70年巡礼增强型体外反搏(EECP)又被称为被动的“运动”,以其安全、有效、经济、简便、无创等独特优势受到学术界的广泛关注。
目前,EECP 已成为冠心病患者长期治疗的重要选择,也已成为了冠心病一、二级预防的有效手段。
1EECP 的发展简史增强型体外反搏(EECP)英文全称为enhanced external counterpulsation,其雏形的诞生应上溯至20世纪60年代,当时在美国哈佛大学有位名为Soroff 的教授,发明了一种“液压非序贯式”ECP,但因存在设计上的不合理性而未能得到推广。
20世纪70年代初期,中山医科大学郑振声教授带领团队在前人经验基础之上,攻关研发出四肢气囊序贯加压式ECP,10年后再加用了臀部反搏气囊,即研发成型了EECP,由于其设计合理、效果突出而广受国内外学术界的认可[1-3]。
至20世纪90年代,EECP 正式获批进入了美国市场,在临床应用的过程中又逐步迈入全球市场,其应用范围涵盖全世界30多个国家、地区。
21世纪初期,EECP 又被美国心脏协会和美国心脏病学会(AHA/ACC)纳入冠心病临床治疗指南中,其后又被中华医学会心血管病分会、欧洲心脏病学会(ESC)纳入指南,成为具有有力理论、实践依据的冠心病康复治疗方法之一。

The ACAP (DoT 2008, VIII:20) justified this recommendation by stating that that the annual submission of auditor selection for ratification enhances‘‘competition in the audit industry.’’The ACAP did not provide any empirical evidence in support of the above recommendation,and research related to shareholder involvement in auditor selection is sparse.We gratefully acknowledge many useful comments and suggestions from Steve Kachelmeier(senior editor)and two anonymous reviewers.We thank Abhijit Barua,Vishal Munsif,and Paul Tanyi for help with data collection and analysis. Editor’s note:Accepted by Steven Kachelmeier.Submitted:October2009Accepted:June2011Published Online:August2011149The ACAP did not elaborate on exactly what benefits would accrue from any increased competition among auditors.However,the traditional view of the courts,legislators,and regulators has been that competition in any sector leads to higher quality and lower price (U.S. Supreme Court 1978; Federal Trade Commission 2003). In contrast, economic theory suggests that the joint effect of competition on price and quality is not uniform;the effect of increased competition on price and quality will depend on the relative elasticities of price and quality (Dranove and Satterthwaite 1992;Kranton 2003). Even within the context of professional services, prior studies examining different types of services have shown divergent results about the joint effects of enhanced competition on price and quality (Kwoka 1984; Haas-Wilson 1986; Rizzo and Zeckhauser 1992; Kessler and McClellan 2000).While the ACAP recommends shareholder voting on auditor selection based on arguments about increased competition,the same recommendation can be arrived at by using a governance and accountability framework.We argue that any arrangement that strengthens the role of the shareholders in auditor selection also changes the incentives of the auditors and strengthens auditor independence.The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX, U.S. House of Representatives 2002) made audit committees formally responsible for the selection and compensation of the external auditor;however,evidence indicates that even in the post-SOX era,managers exercise significant control over the hiring and firing of auditors (KPMG 2004; Cohen et al. 2010). If managers retain significant influence over auditor selection,then auditors will be more likely to go along with the preferences of managers (Saul 1996). Hence, institutional arrangements that strengthen the role of shareholders in auditor selection will also strengthen auditor independence.Mayhew and Pike (2004) examine, in a laboratory market setting, the effects of alternative auditor hiring rules on competition in the audit market.They find that,in their experimental setting,investor involvement in auditor selection leads to both higher audit quality and an increase in audit fees. Mayhew and Pike (2004, 820) note that ‘‘further research into the institutional structures that promote audit committee independence or produce the types of incentives for auditor independence documented in our investor selection treatments is clearly warranted.’’The ACAP recommendation represents a step in the direction toward increased shareholder involvement in auditor selection. Saul (1996, 135) suggests that having shareholder ratification of the auditor is ‘‘more than a symbolic act ’’in the context of strengthening auditor independence.Accordingly,our objective is to empirically examine the association between shareholder involvement in auditor selection and both audit fees and audit quality,using archival data.To the extent that increased shareholder involvement in auditor selection alters the governance and accountability dynamics between auditors,management,and shareholders,we find that shareholder voting on auditor selection leads to both higher audit fees and better audit quality.We use data from a sample of 1,382companies included in the 2006edition of the Board Analyst database.We find that audit fees are higher in firms that submitted auditor selection for a shareholder vote,after controlling for other factors associated with audit fees.This finding is inconsistent with the argument generally advanced by legislators,regulators,and the judiciary,but is consistent with the experimental evidence in Mayhew and Pike (2004).As noted by Hermalin and Weisbach (2003), endogeneity is a pervasive problem in any governance-related archival-empirical research.For example,it is possible that the same factors that are associated with some firms voluntarily having a shareholder vote on auditor selection,since such a vote is not currently legally required,are also associated with higher audit fees.We perform a Hausman test of endogeneity between audit fees and shareholder voting on auditor selection,and find that there is support for the two being endogenous.Accordingly,we perform two-stage regression analysis and find that the positive relationship between shareholder involvement in auditor selection and audit fees persists.150Dao,Raghunandan,andRamaThe Accounting ReviewJanuary 2012We also perform a different type of test,relying on changes infirms’policies relating to shareholder voting on auditor ratification.Specifically,we focus onfirms that changed from not having a shareholder vote on auditor selection in2005to having such a vote in2006,and vice versa.Because auditor-selection-related issues are supposed to be the prerogative of the audit committee after SOX,we require that thefirms selected for such change analyses do not have a change in the composition of the audit committee.With this additional restriction,we have54firms that newly initiated an auditor ratification vote in2006and45firms that stopped having an auditor ratification vote in2006,and did not have a change in the membership of the audit committee.For this subset of99firms,we perform the audit fee regression in the‘‘changes’’form.Wefind that the indicator variable measuring change in auditor ratification policy is positive and significant, indicating thatfirms that initiated an auditor ratification vote paid higher audit fees compared to firms that stopped having an auditor ratification vote.While audit pricing is directly observable,audit quality is a more difficult construct.The quantity or quality of audit work is not directly observable,so researchers have used different measures for audit quality.In this study,we use subsequent restatements as our measure for audit quality.A restatement implies that the previouslyfiledfinancial statements are unreliable and, hence,the presence(or absence)of a restatement can be viewed as a direct measure of audit quality. We restrict our analysis to restatements with a negative effect onfinancial statements.Wefind that firms with a shareholder vote on auditor ratification during2006were less likely to have a subsequent restatement offiscal year2006financial statements.Hennes et al. (2008)point out that not all restatements are the same, and suggest using stock price reactions as a direct measure of problem restatements.Accordingly,we further restrict our analysis to subsequent restatements that also had a negative stock price reaction.With this analysis we alsofind thatfirms with a shareholder vote on auditor ratification were less likely to have a later restatement that elicits a negative market reaction.As with audit fees,we conduct Hausman tests of endogeneity but cannot reject the hypothesis of exogeneity between subsequent restatements and shareholder involvement in auditor selection. Unlike with audit fees,we do not perform the analyses with only the subset offirms changing auditor ratification policies because only fourfirms from each of the change groups had a subsequent restatement.As additional analysis,we use clients’abnormal accruals as another measure of audit quality. Although using accruals measures as a proxy for audit quality is subject to many limitations (Ball 2009), previous studies have used clients’ abnormal accruals as a measure of audit quality given the paucity of observable measures related to audit quality (e.g., DeFond and Subramanyam 1998; Francis and Krishnan 1999). Following this tradition, we examine the association between shareholder voting on auditor selection and abnormal accruals.Wefind that performance-matched abnormal current accruals are lower infirms that submit auditor selection for shareholder ratification.A Hausman test indicates the presence of endogeneity,but the association between shareholder voting and accruals quality persists after controlling for endogeneity.In summary,we examine an issue that is currently of interest to regulators and the accounting profession but lacks relevant archival evidence.Research methods involve trade-offs,and the benefit of an experimental setting such as the one used by Mayhew and Pike (2004)is that it enables researchers to control and manipulate factors of research interest while ignoring other external factors that are present in the real-world setting.Conversely,the benefits from archival research are the use of more natural settings that currently exist and greater external validity. Ideally,results from multiple methods should complement each other and there is greater confidence in the inferences when different research methods yield the same basicfindings.The results from our archival tests validate the experimental results of Mayhew and Pike (2004)in a closely related setting—that increased shareholder involvement in auditor selection leads to an Shareholder Voting on Auditor Selection,Audit Fees,and Audit Quality151The Accounting Review January2012increase in both audit fees and quality—but are inconsistent with the traditional arguments of legislators,regulators,and the judiciary in the U.S.that enhanced competition will lead to lower prices and higher quality.Section II discusses the background.This is followed by a description of hypotheses,research method,data,and discussion of results related to the two issues examined in this study:audit fees in Section III and audit quality in Section IV.Section V concludes with a summary and discussion.II.BACKGROUNDShareholder Voting:Competition PerspectiveEven when there were eight large international auditing firms,legislators had expressed concerns about the (lack of ) competition in the audit market (U.S. Senate 1976, 1977; U.S. House of Representatives 1985). Such concerns have become more pronounced as the Big 8 have now become the Big 4since 2002.For example,Section 701of SOX mandates the General Accounting Office (GAO)to study and report back to Congress about the concentration of the audit market and the problems resulting from limited competition among public accounting firms. The GAO (2003,Highlights)concluded that ‘‘the significant changes that have occurred in the profession may have implications for competition and public company choice,especially in certain industries,in the future. ’’ In a follow-up report, the GAO (2008, Highlights) stated that ‘‘the loss of another large firm would further reduce large companies’auditor choice and could affect audit fee competitiveness.’’Thus,it is clear that the extent of competition in the market for audit services for public companies (and the resultant impact on fees)continues to be an issue of significant interest to legislators and regulators.Such concerns led to the U.S.Department of the Treasury forming,in October 2007,an Advisory Committee on the Auditing Profession (ACAP).The ACAP held a series of meetings during 2007and 2008,and issued a report in October 2008,proposing six recommendations related to concentration and competition in the audit market.Recommendation #5suggests the adoption of ‘‘annual shareholder ratification of public company auditors by all public companies ’’ and notes as follows (DoT 2008, VIII:20–21):The Committee believes shareholder ratification of auditor selection through the annual meeting and proxy process can enhance the audit committee’s oversight to ensure that the auditor is suitable for the company’s size and financial reporting needs.This may enhance competition in the audit industry ...The Committee also urges exchange self-regulatory organizations to adopt such a requirement as a listing standard.Competition,Price,and QualityFrom an economic perspective,increased competition generally leads to higher quality and/or lower price.However,if price and quality are jointly determined,then the effect of increased competition on price and quality is not clear-cut;the effects of increased competition on price and quality will depend on the relative elasticities of price and quality (Dranove and Satterthwaite 1992;Kranton 2003).Nevertheless, the U.S. Supreme Court (1978, 695) noted in a case brought by the National Society of Professional Engineers:‘‘The Sherman Act reflects a legislative judgment that ultimately competition will produce not only lower prices,but also better goods and services ...The assumption that competition is the best method of allocating resources in a free market recognizes that all elements of a bargain—quality,service,safety,and durability—and not just the immediate cost,are favorably affected by the free opportunity to select among alternative offers.’’Similarly,the Federal Trade Commission (2003, 1) states that ‘‘vigorous competition forces producers to152Dao,Raghunandan,andRama The Accounting ReviewJanuary 2012minimize costs and prices and to increase quality.’’Thus,the legislative,judicial,and executive views appear to be that increased competition will lead to lower prices and higher quality.Empirical evidence on the joint effects of competition on price and quality is sparse and mixed (Kranton 2003; Kallapur et al. 2009). Prior research shows that, when the ban on advertising was removed(i.e.,competition increased),the price of optometric services declined without an adverse impact on quality (Kwoka 1984; Haas-Wilson 1986). However, in the case of physicians’ services, the removal of the ban on advertising led to higher prices and an increase in at least some measures of quality (Rizzo and Zeckhauser 1992). Similarly, Kessler and McClellan (2000)show that in the case of hospitals,prior to1991,higher levels of competition led to both higher costs and improved quality.1Shareholder Voting:Governance and Accountability PerspectiveWhile the ACAP recommendation is based on the effects of increased competition,there is an alternative perspective that is useful in the context of shareholder voting on auditor ratification. Until the enactment of SOX,client management was responsible for selecting the auditor.Under Section301of SOX,audit committees are directly responsible for the appointment,compensation, and oversight of the auditor.Accordingly,Section301of SOX is a recognition of the governance and accountability perspective of auditor selection.Specifically,if management is responsible for hiring orfiring the auditor and negotiating the audit fee,then it is more likely that the auditor will go along with the wishes of management (Saul 1996). Mayhew and Pike (2004, 798) note that the auditor’s ‘‘financial dependence on the client depends heavily on the client’s ability to hire andfire the auditor.As a result,the control over hiring andfiring the auditor serves as the core incentive for auditors to maintain or compromise their independence.’’By removing the authority to hire andfire the auditor from management,and vesting such authority with representatives of shareholders,Section301of SOX sought to shift the locus of power in the auditor-manager relationship—and thereby enhance auditor independence.However, as noted by Mayhew and Pike (2004), in many companies, the board of directors is dominated by management.This enables management to retain significant influence over auditor-related decisions,including the hiring andfiring of auditors.In these circumstances,auditors’natural response is to be more likely to go along with managements’preferred accounting choices. Along these lines, a survey of audit committee directors and executives by KPMG (2004, 5) found that,even after SOX,‘‘69percent of respondents said the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer had the most influence over the compensation of the external auditor,and only27 percent thought the audit committee had the most influence.’’In a later study based on interviews with 30 audit partners and managers from the Big 4 firms, Cohen et al. (2010, 752) report that ‘‘management continues to be seen as a major corporate governance actor and,contrary to the intent of SOX,often the driving force behind auditor appointments and terminations.’’The ACAP noted that,even though SOX gives the audit committees the responsibilities related to the appointment and compensation by the auditor,shareholders should have a say in auditor selection and that‘‘ratification allows shareholders to voice a view on the audit committee’s work, including the reasonableness of audit fees and apparent conflicts of interest ’’(DoT 2008, VIII:20). Thus,shareholder voting on auditor ratification,while perhaps not as effective as direct shareholder selection of the auditor,is a step toward increasing the role of shareholders in the auditor selection process.Reflecting this view,shareholder activists have continued to press companies to let 1This is the so-called‘‘Medical Arms Race’’hypothesis,and this logic has been used by the courts in litigation involving hospital mergers.See,for example,U.S.vs.Carilion Health System,892F2d1042. Shareholder Voting on Auditor Selection,Audit Fees,and Audit Quality153The Accounting Review January2012shareholders vote on auditor selection because this is considered to be a good corporate governance practice (Krishnan and Ye 2005; Institutional Shareholder Services [ISS] 2007a, 2007b ).Support for this governance-and-accountability-based perspective comes from the actions of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC)in the United Kingdom.The FRC established the Market Participants Group (MPG)in October 2006to provide advice on ‘‘possible actions that market participants could take to mitigate the risks arising from the characteristics of the market for audit services to public interest entities in the United Kingdom ’’ (FRC 2006, 1). The MPG issued its report in October 2007with a set of recommendations;Recommendation #8notes that the FRC should amend the rules ‘‘to include a requirement for the provision of information relevant to the auditor re-selection decision,’’while Recommendation #10states that ‘‘investor groups,corporate representatives,firms,and the FRC should promote good practices for shareholder engagement on auditor appointment and re-appointments ’’ (FRC 2007, 10). The MPG report noted that the recommendations were ‘‘directed at improving the accountability of boards for their auditor selection decisions ’’ (FRC 2007, 10).Finally,we interviewed three audit partners from three of the Big 4audit firms and a subcommittee chair of the ACAP about shareholder involvement in auditor selection.Of the audit partners,one is a regional managing partner,the second is an office managing partner of a large metropolitan office,and the third is a regional leader for audit practice.Two of the audit partners and the ACAP member noted that shareholder voting on auditor selection led to slightly higher risks for the auditor.To paraphrase,the partners and the ACAP member noted that ‘‘everyone expects the auditor to receive 98or 99percent approval from the shareholders,so even if you get 90or 95percent approval,there are bound to be questions from the audit committee;in addition,even if remote,there is a non-zero probability of a significant proportion of shareholders voting against the auditor.’’Two partners also discussed anecdotal evidence about Ernst &Young,which had 38percent of Sprint shareholders voting against ratification in 2003,resulting in unfavorable media coverage.2To the extent that perceptions affect auditors’judgments and actions,we can expect both audit quality and price to be higher when there is a shareholder ratification vote on auditor selection.III.SHAREHOLDER VOTING AND AUDIT FEESRegulators in the U.S.and U.K.are considering recommendations to require all public companies to have a shareholder vote on auditor selection.Some recent studies have examined issues related to shareholder ratification of the auditor,including characteristics of firms submitting auditor selection for a shareholder vote (Krishnan and Ye 2005) and the determinants of shareholder votes for ratification (e.g., Raghunandan 2003; Hermanson et al. 2009). However, there is little archival evidence related to the effect of having a shareholder vote on price and/or quality in the market for audit services.This study seeks to fill this void,given the calls from regulators to require companies to have such a shareholder vote.As noted earlier, the experimental evidence in Mayhew and Pike (2004) and the governance/accountability perspective suggest that shareholder voting on auditor selection leads to higher audit fees and improved audit quality.Nevertheless,given the paucity of evidence on this issue,and given the stated opinions of the judiciary and the executive that increased competition is expected to result in lower price and better quality,we do not make a directional prediction for our first hypothesis.Formally stated,our first hypothesis is:H1(null form):There is no association between shareholder involvement in auditor selectionand audit fees.2Following the shareholder vote,Ernst &Young was replaced as the auditor for Sprint.154Dao,Raghunandan,andRama The Accounting ReviewJanuary 2012ModelWe use the following regression model to test H1:LogðAuditFeesÞ¼a0þa1ÃLogðTotalAssetsÞþa2ÃInvRecTAþa3ÃSqrtSegmentsþa4ÃForeignþa5ÃCurrentRatioþa6ÃLeverageþa7ÃROAþa8ÃGCþa9ÃICWþa10ÃBig4þa11ÃInitialþa12ÃVOTEþerror:ð1ÞThe variables are defined as follows:Log(AuditFees)¼natural logarithm of audit fees;Log(TotalAssets)¼natural logarithm of total assets;InvRecTA¼ratio of assets in inventory plus accounts receivable to total assets;SqrtSegments¼square root of the number of business segments;Foreign¼1if foreign income is reported,0otherwise;CurrentRatio¼ratio of current assets to current liabilities;Leverage¼ratio of total liabilities to total assets;ROA¼ratio of income before extraordinary items to total assets;GC¼1if thefirm receives a going-concern modified opinion,0otherwise;ICW¼1if thefirm has an adverse SOX404opinion,0otherwise;Big4¼1if the auditor is a Big4auditfirm,0otherwise;Initial¼1if the audit engagement is afirst-or second-year audit,0otherwise;VOTE¼1if thefirm submits auditor selection for shareholder ratification vote,0otherwise.3 Starting from Simunic (1980), prior research has used various measures related to client size, complexity,and risk as control variables in audit fee models.We use the same audit fee model as in Raghunandan and Rama (2006). Following a long tradition in the auditing literature, we use the log transformed audit fees,Log(AuditFees),as the dependent variable.Log(TotalAssets)is employed to measure client size,and we expect the coefficient of Log(TotalAssets)to be positive.Three variables—InvRecTA,SqrtSegments,and Foreign—proxy for client complexity,and we expect positive coefficients for these three variables.Five variables,CurrentRatio,ROA,Leverage,GC,and ICW,control for clientfinancial condition and internal control;the coefficients of CurrentRatio and ROA are expected to be negative,while the coefficients of Leverage,GC,and ICW are expected to be positive.A large body of literature has shown that there is a Big N audit fee premium,so we include Big4and expect the coefficient of this variable to be positive.Prior research also suggests that audit fees are discounted for initial years of audit engagements (e.g., Simon and Francis 1988; Whisenant et al. 2003); however,recent research suggests that initial audit engagements have an audit fee premium in the post-SOX period (Huang et al. 2009), so we include Initial in the model but do not make a prediction about the sign of the coefficient.The independent variable of interest is VOTE.The governance/accountability perspective and experimental results of Mayhew and Pike (2004)suggest that the coefficient of VOTE should be positive.DataWe start our sample with all panies that are included in the2006version of Corporate Library’s Board Analyst database.As part of our analyses of audit quality,we examine subsequent restatements;since it takes some time before restatements are discovered and disclosed,using data 3Continuous variables(used in this and any subsequent regression)are winsorized at the1st and99th percentiles. Shareholder Voting on Auditor Selection,Audit Fees,and Audit Quality155The Accounting Review January2012from fiscal year 2006enables us to examine subsequent restatements over a three-year period (until the end of 2009).Section 404of SOX first became applicable for fiscal years ending on or after November 15,2004,and auditors have noted that there has been a steep learning curve related to audits in the post-Section 404period.Hence,we restrict the analysis to the 2,084companies with fiscal years ending December 31,2006.4Consistent with prior research related to audit fees and because firms in financial sectors have different financial statement reporting formats (and are subject to additional regulations),we exclude 602firms with SIC codes from 6000–6999.We obtain data about audit fees,audit opinions,and auditor changes from the Audit Analytics database,while financial data are from the Compustat database and 10-K filings available on the SEC’s website.We manually collect data about submission of auditor selection for shareholder ratification voting from proxy filings available on the SEC’s website.After eliminating 100observations with missing data,our final sample includes 1,382firms.Descriptive StatisticsPanel A of Table 1provides descriptive statistics about the variables used in the audit fee regression model.The mean (median)audit fees for the sample firms are $2.86($1.53)million.The mean and median values for the control variables are generally in line with those found in other studies (e.g., Ghosh and Lustgarten 2006; Raghunandan and Rama 2006) that examine audit fees in the post-SOX period.5Seventy-five percent of the sample firms submitted auditor selection for shareholderratification in 2006.As seen in Panels B and C of Table 1,firms that submitted auditor selection for shareholder ratification tend to be larger,are more likely to be audited by a Big 4auditor,and are less likely to have adverse Section 404reports,going-concern modified audit reports,or auditor changes.We test for multicollinearity between the independent variables by examining the correlation matrix (untabulated).We find that all of the bivariate correlations are less than 0.50.We also find that the variance inflation factors for the variables in the regression model are all less than 2.0,indicating that multicollinearity does not cause problems with our inferences.Audit Fee Regression ResultsTable 2presents the regression results for the model with Log (AuditFees )as the dependent variable.The overall model is significant,and the adjusted R 2of 71percent is in line with prior audit fee studies.All control variables in the model (except for Leverage and Initial )are significant and have the expected coefficient signs.The variable of interest,VOTE ,is positive and significant (p ,0.05).The magnitude of the coefficient of VOTE is 0.085,indicating that companies 4There are two reasons why we restrict the analysis to clients with a 12/31fiscal year-end.First,the Big 4firms noted in submissions to the SEC in 2005and 2006that SOX 404-related work had a significant impact on audit fees and that there is a steep learning curve effect for SOX 404-related work;hence,a firm with a 12/31/2006fiscal year-end would be in the initial phase of the third year of SOX 404work,while a firm with a 2/28/2006(6/30/2007)fiscal year-end would still be in the second year (later phase of the third year)cycle of SOX 404.We do not want to contaminate our sample by mixing firms that would have been in different stages of the learning curve.The second reason relates to the change from AS 2to AS 5;the PCAOB approved the change in May 2007to use a more top-down approach,and this had a pronounced effect on audit work and fees;the PCAOB provided permission for immediate application of the standard.5We also compared our firms with the overall Compustat population (after excluding foreign firms and firms in financial sectors). In terms of industry, when we use the 12 industry groups based on Professor French’s (http://mba.tuck /pages/faculty/ken.french/data_library.html) classification, our sample has fewer firms in the ‘‘wholesale,retail,and some services ’’category (5.9percent in our sample versus 10.4percent in Compustat).However,75percent of the sample firms from this sector had a shareholder ratification of the auditor—identical to the proportion for the rest of the sample.Firm size in our sample is,however,larger than in the Compustat population (e.g.,average total assets are $1.00billion for our sample compared to $199million for the Compustat sample).156Dao,Raghunandan,andRama The Accounting ReviewJanuary 2012。

体外反搏在心力衰竭治疗中的应用概述
体外反搏在心力衰竭治疗中的应用概述刘凡【期刊名称】《实用中医药杂志》【年(卷),期】2014(000)006【总页数】3页(P587-589)【作者】刘凡【作者单位】重庆市第一人民医院心内科,重庆400011【正文语种】中文【中图分类】R256.214.16120世纪60年代,由哈佛大学Soroff教授等设计了旨在增加心脏舒张期灌注,改善心肌缺血的体外反搏技术。
该技术后由郑振声教授改良为增强型体外反搏(enhanced external counterpulsation,EECP)。
EECP治疗通过心电门控技术使气囊在心脏舒张早期从远到近挤压肢体使含氧血流向心脏,导致主动脉舒张压升高,随之增加冠脉血流,而气囊在心脏收缩之初快速松弛,减少外周阻力,明显降低心脏后负荷,进一步提高心输出量[1]。
EECP技术发展的早期主要应用于急性心肌梗死和心源性休克患者的循环辅助治疗。
在EECP逐渐应用于临床的过程中,研究发现EECP对心衰患者的治疗也能获益。
因此,美国FDA于2002年正式批准EECP可用于心力衰竭患者的治疗。
现就EECP在心力衰竭治疗中的应用综述如下。
ECCP治疗心绞痛主要机制为可以改善心脏舒张期的充盈,减少左室舒张末压,提高左室舒张期充盈峰率、舒张末容积[2],作用类似于于主动脉内球囊反搏术治疗心源性休克[3]。
1999年Arora[4]的研究提示EECP对于有心绞痛且左室功能正常的患者是有益的治疗方法,与接受假体外反搏的对照组相比,EECP组能明显减轻心绞痛症状,减少硝酸甘油用量,延长无缺血症状的运动时间。
治疗12个月后,EECP组还能明显提高患者生活质量[5]。
此外Braith[6]还观察到EECP和对照组相比还能增加14%的最大氧耗量,能延长59%的运动时间。
EECP早期曾作为左室射血分数下降的冠心病患者治疗的禁忌症,因既往有研究发现有3%~5%的患者在体外反搏期间发生了心衰加重[7],其原因可能与治疗期间EECP不同的气囊压力有关[8]。

大学英语四级阅读理解训练(一)Classified advertising is that advertising which is grouped in certain secti ons of the paper and is thus distinguished from display advertising. Such groupings as “Help Wanted”,“Real Estate”,“Lost and Found” are made, the rate charged being less than for display advertising. Classified adverti sements are a convenience to the reader and a saving to the advertiser. The reader who is interested in a particular kind of advertisement finds alladvertisements of that type grouped for him. The advertisers may, on this account, use a very small advertisement if it were placed among larger ad vertisements in the paper. It is evident that the reader approaches the class ified advertisement in a different frame of mind from that in which he app roaches the other advertisements in the paper. He turns to a page of classif ied advertisements to search for the particularadvertisement that will meet his needs. As his attention is voluntary, the a dvertiser does not need to rely too much extent on display type to get the reader’s attention. Formerly all classified advertisements were of the sam e size and did not have display type. With the increase in the number of s uch advertisements, however, each advertiser within a certain group is co mpeting with others in the same group for the reader’s attention.

篇章翻译练习
英译汉33篇:1. Quitting smoking is more of a matter of willpower than of individual choice, for smoking is widely recognized as addictive. Although counseling and medication can increase the odds that a smoker quits permanently, the best way to avoid dilemmas is never to take up smoking to begin with.The irreversible effects of cigarette smoking vary in intensity and are related both to the amount and duration of exposure and the age at which the person is initially exposed. This report challenges the notion that a few years of exposure to smoking will have no lasting harmful consequences. We hope to discourage this prevalent but vital habit and suggest that tobacco-related health effects decline substantially as time away from smoking increases.2. This book derives from decades of teaching in various schools across the country. It is based on the belief that philosophy is a genuinely exciting subject, accessible not only to gifted undergraduate majors but to everyone. Everyone is a philosopher, whether enrolled in a philosophical course or not. The difference is that someone who has studied philosophy systematically has the advantage of having encountered stronger and more varied arguments than might have been available otherwise. What is special about this book is that it offers introductory students the opportunity of having direct contact with substantial readings from significant books on philosophy, but without the unreasonable demand that they confront these books in full, which are often incomprehensible.3. Social progress has done away with the need for backbreaking work and has provided time and leisure for personality development. With it, indeed because of it, today the middle-class family expects each of its members to develop his unique personality, and so does each individual, more or less, himself. This new obligation of the family to provide a setting for the development of a unique personality makes family consensus extremely difficult, if not impossible. Nothing is more problematic for a small group of quite different, unique individuals than to live in close quarters, in close harmony with each other. Besides, the necessity of cultivating teenagers’ moral character adds to the difficulty in parenting.4. One of the unintended consequences of the globalization is that it puts different societies and cultures in much greater direct contact with one another. It connects people to people much faster than people and cultures can often prepare themselves. Some cultures thrive on the sudden opportunities for collaboration that this global intimacy makes possible. Others are frustrated, and even humiliated by this close contact, which, among other things, makes it easy for people to see where they stand in the world in relation to everyone else. All of this helps to account for the emergence of one of the most devastating forces today – terrorist organizations which have no regard for human lives and which it is in our best interest to wipe out.5. In this book, we offer advice that we hope will seem reasonable and worth serious consideration. But as any experienced writer knows, there are occasions when even the best advice may not apply. The demands of writing for different audiences, with different purposes, on different subjects, at different levels of formality are so varied that they cannot begin to be anticipated in a book like this, and we recognize that what is appropriate for one piece of writing may not be appropriate for another. In most cases, you will have to avoid ambiguity at all costs so as not to leave your words open to misinterpretation.6. When dominant innovators in a science respond to the challenge of a situation that demands some change in its practice, this may take a number of forms, and rival schools may grow up around differentleaders responding differently to a particular situation. These rivalries may be reinforced and perpetuated by the use of standard textbooks. Any empirical science must be able to cope with its own phenomena, and once any observation is accepted as relevant, its theory and modes of description and analysis must be able to handle it with scientific adequacy, of which exhaustiveness, consistency, economy are basic principles. The extension of a science to new but relevant fields may require the further elaboration and presentation of existing theory along previously-followed lines.7. Changes and developments in a science are determined by a number of causes. Every science grows from its past, and the state reached in a previous generation provides the starting point for the next. But no science is carried on in a vacuum, without reference to or contact with other sciences and the general atmosphere for learning. Scientists and men of learning are also men of their age and country, and they can’t live independent of the culture. Besides its own past, the course of science is also affected by the social context of its contemporary world and the intellectual premises in it. Applications of the science and the expectations that others have of it may be a very important determinant of the direction of its growth and changes.8. Human progress is greatly accelerated by the use of language in cultural transmission; the knowledge and experience acquired by a particular person can be passed on to another in language, so that no amount of demonstration can replace the role of language. In this connection the importance of the invention of printing can never be exaggerated. At the present time the achievements of anyone in any part of the world can be made available and accessible to anyone else able to read and capable of understanding what is involved. From these uses of language, spoken and written, the most developed animal communication system, though given the courtesy title of language, is worlds away.9. The purchase process is initiated when a consumer becomes aware of a need. This awareness may stem from an internal source such as starvation or an external source such as TV commercials or promotions. Awareness of such a need motivates the consumer to search for information about options with which to fulfill the need. This information is available from varied sources. Once alternatives have been identified through these sources, consumers evaluate the options, paying particular attention to those attributes the consumer considers vital. To attract more regular customers, many companies continue to communicate with their customers after a purchase in an effort to influence post-purchase satisfaction and behavior.10. Here are some tips for a low-carbon life. Burning fossil fuels emits heat-trapping pollution like carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming. Cutting down on driving is environmentally friendly and helps eliminate weight problems over time without dangerous diets or surgery. Next, skip the bottled water and drink tap water. Limit your consumption of red meat because of its unhealthy saturated fat content, particularly corn-fed animals. Raising food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more energy than a plant-based one. Finally, avoid heavily packaged foods and buy in bulk. The health benefits of going organic include no synthetic pesticides and fertilizers so you reduce your exposure to hazardous chemicals.11. There is more to school education than instruction and passing knowledge. To live up to his or her image, a teacher at an elementary or secondary school has to have positive influence on the pupils in terms of manners, attitudes and views of life. It’s no exaggeration to claim that a teacher is a parent, consultant and role model all rolled into one. When a teacher has become someone to talk to, turn toand correspond to, his role as a friend is enhanced. Accompanied by teachers who are considerate, helpful and responsible, a child is likely to be imprinted by such good qualities and eventually does the same to others.12. One of the chief concerns of wildlife management is the protection and improvement of the natural habitat so that animals have enough food and water to survive. Wildlife management involves care of the soil to produce good vegetation; it also involves care of plants, not only as a source of food, but as protection. Animals need cover to hide from their natural enemies and to raise their young safely. Just as crops are harvested, wildlife too must sometimes be “harvested”. By a llowing limited hunting, good management can control certain species that threaten to overpopulate their habitat.13. The standard educational or psychological tests are widely used to aid in selecting, classifying, assigning, or promoting students, employees and military personnel. But they have been the target of recent attacks in books, magazines, and even in Congress. The target is wrong, for in attacking the tests, critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users. The tests themselves are merely tools, with characteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified conditions. Whether the results will be valuable, meaningless, or even misleading depends partly upon the tools themselves but largely upon the user.14. To the average person knowledge itself is of importance because of its bearing upon what he needs to do and to make. It helps him in clarifying his wants, in constructing his ends and in finding means for realizing them. There exist, in other words, values as well as known facts and principles, and philosophy is concerned primarily with values –with the ends for the sake of which man acts. Given the most extensive and accurate system of knowledge, man is still confronted with the question of what he is going to do about it and what he is going to do with the knowledge in his possession.15. The miracle silicon chip represents a development in the technology of mankind that over the past few years has acquired the force and significance associated with the development of hand tools or the discovery of the steam engine. Just as the Industrial Revolution took over an immense range of tasks from men’s muscles and enormously expanded productivity, so the microcomputer is ra pidly assuming huge burdens of tedious work from the human brain and thereby expanding the mind’s capacities in ways that man is beginning to grasp. With the chip, remarkable achievements of memory and execution become possible in everything from farms to banks to corporate offices.26. Recent history has demonstrated the need to change our conception of the process driven forward by competition. The price variable once perceived as the dominant aspect of the competitive process is now subordinate to the competition of the new product and technology. While in a highly competitive industry investment in innovation might meet resistance from management and stockholders who might be concerned with cost-cutting and large advertising budgets, it would be a shocking error to assume that producers enjoying monopoly should favor abundant expenditures on research. Large-scale enterprises tend to operate more smoothly in stable circumstances, and their managerial bureaucracies tend to promote the status and resist the threat implied in change.17. As a branch of cognitive science, linguistics, which has direct bearing on verbal communication, has undergone systematic exploration and explicit elaboration. The combination of linguistics and psychology has shed light on how an infant acquires the mother tongue and contributed to the greatvariety of teaching approaches to a foreign language. However, a keen insight into the process of language acquisition can’t be gained until the function of each part of the brain is disclosed. The myth that the earlier an infant learns a foreign language the better the result arises from the confusion of language acquisition with language learning. Scientists have yet to reach consensus on the best age to start learning a foreign language.18. Efforts have been continually made to maintain the currency of this dictionary though annual updating.These efforts were for a time successful, at least in incorporating the newest additions to the language into the written record of that language. Eventually, however, it turned out that the flood of new terms, subtle changes in pronunciation and changes in attitudes toward numerous expressions had made a total revision of the dictionary necessary. The past two decades have witnessed an information explosion of unprecedented proportions. Rapid advances in science are bringing with them countless new terms and new applications of established terms.19. There is no question that China and India are better off for having at least part of their population in the flattening world. When societies begin to prosper, you get a virtuous cycle going: They begin to produce enough food for the people to leave the land, the excess labor gets trained and education, it begins working in services and industry; that leads to innovation and better education and institutions of higher learning, free markets, economic growth and development, better infrastructure, fewer diseases and slower population growth.20. Countries whose workers and industries are woven into a major global supply chain know that they cannot take an hour, a week, or a month off for war without disrupting industries and economies around the world and thereby risking the loss of their place in that supply chain for a long time, which could be extremely costly. For a country with no natural resources, being part of a global supply chain is like striking oil – oil that never runs out. And therefore, to get dropped from such a chain because you start a war is to have your oil wells go dry or have someone pour cement on them.21. Each year natural disasters, some of which are of unimaginable magnitude, cause heavy casualties. It’s estimated that devastating floods alone cause losses of approximately 5 billion dollars. In flood-affected regions, reconstruction usually entails expenses that reach astronomical figures. Given the gravity of the situation, many countries as well as international agencies are intensifying their efforts to make more accurate predictions and take precautions. One solution is to construct solid architectures that can survive extreme conditions in disaster-prone areas. Where misfortune never strikes once, people need to be alert to potential risks all the time.22. History has been a fascinating sphere of research since ancient times. Unlike other disciplines of science, history can never reach accuracy. The most historians can do is approximate accuracy by recording past events realistically and interpreting these events objectively. The infinite number of historical figures and incidents makes impossible the documentation of everything that has happened, so historians have to make selections from the data available and accessible before deciding on the data that are deemed necessary and relevant. The fact that explanations on a particular event and its cause vary from historian to historian makes history all the more exciting.23. Creativity is by no means something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a characteristic of high intelligence. Creativity is the ability to use the resources available to produce original ideas that are good for something.There are numerous things parents can do to facilitate the development of creativity of infants. They can involve children in decision-making if the problem is appropriate by seeking their suggestions. It isof great importance to have children understand the consequence of various decisions. As children grow older, they are expected to decide more serious things. It does not matter if a child makes a wrong decision, for one of the most distinct features of creative people is a very strong motivation to make order out of confusion.24. Fundamental science has provided us with an increasingly detailed and accurate understanding of nature. Advances in science are based on the pre-conditions that:a)Everything, including existing knowledge, is open to critical and unprejudiced inquiry. Science isoften built on the destruction of existing patterns and is a continuously evolving process.b) Our minds, reason and our powers of observation are the tools for advancing knowledge. There are nomysteries that will resist scientific investigation.c)Science is the property of mankind and is our most precious human asset.d)All hypotheses and predictions are subject to the proof of scientific experiments. Knowledge ispower and science is the power of powers.25. Biological diversity, or biodiversity, means the variety of life on earth and includes the entire web of living organisms ranging from soil microbes, frogs, and trees to bears and blue whales. From the perspective of sustainable use, wildlife is a renewable resource that provides many benefits and socioeconomic advantages. Sustainable use is defined as "the use of components of biodiversity in a way and at a rate that does not lead to long term decline" but maintains the "potential to meet the needs and aspirations of present and future generations." Sustainable use will ensure that the numerous tangible and intangible benefits of wildlife that we enjoy today can be enjoyed by future generations26. Healthcare reform in China is a matter of life and death for the underprivileged. The advent of this reform will have significant implication for infants who are susceptible to fatal diseases, the incurably ill patients and for those who have been left untreated because the medical cost is beyond their budget. The improved availability and accessibility of effective drugs for cancer can lessen the agony of victims. More powerful vaccines and ingenious approaches to disease can send the rate of mortality plunging to a point where there is no panic any more. For the well-being of rural residents, hospitals at the grass-roots’ level should be enhanced in terms of medical facilities and personnel.27. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the influence of the factory on the physical and mental state of the workers has received no attention at all. Modern industry is based on the conception of maximum productivity at the minimum cost. It has expanded without any idea of the true nature of the human beings who run the machines, and without any consideration to the impacts produced on the individuals or on their children by the artificial mode of existence reinforced by the factory. Lack of space entails the construction of enormous apartment buildings where too large masses of residents are crowded together. While civilized men enjoy such a way of living, they do not realize that they have had some of their necessities of life taken away, including peace, ease and health.28. The world is a systemFor thousands of years, there have been various kinds of understandings about the world where we live. The world may be best presented, however, as a system including cosmology, geography, society, human beings, thinking mode and so on. Newton’s law of Universal Gravitation and Einstein’s Relativity has merely laid a foundation for us to grasp the essence of the system.Everything exists in a complex system consisting of macro-cosmos and micro-cosmos, and there are everlasting interactions among different systems at various levels. The best realization comes of a systematic approach.The intrinsic quality of substance is ever unvarying; it has neither increased nor reduced. What has actually been altered is merely its forms: this is the so-called the “law of conservation of matter.” Matteris bound to be manifested in diversified ways.29. Prior to the Newtonian revolution, people explained the world around them primarily in terms of a God that made specific decisions. A child would fall and break his arm, and it was an act of God. Crops failed; it was an act of God. People thought of an omnipotent God who made each and every specific event happen. Then in the 1600s people said, “No, that’s not it! What God did was to put in place a universe with certain principles, and what we need to do is figure out how those principles work. God doesn’t make all the decisions. He set in place processes and principles that would carry on.” From that point on, people began to look for basic underlying dynamics and principles of the entire system. That’s what the Newtonian revolution was all about.Similarly, the Darwinian revolution gave us a dramatic shift in thinking about biological species and natural history --- a shift in thinking that provides fruitful analogies to what we’ve seen in the visionary companies. Prior to the Darwinian revolution, people primarily presumed that God created each and every species intact and for a specific role in the natural world: Polar bears are white because God created them that way; cats purr because God created them that way; robins have red breasts because God created them that way. We humans have a great need to explain the world around us by presuming that someone or something must have had it all figured out --- something must have said, “We need robins with red breasts to fit here in the ecosystem.” But if the biologists are right, it doesn’t work that way. Instead of jumping directly to robins with red breasts (time telling), we have instead an underlying process of evolution (the genetic code, DNA, genetic variation and mutation, natural selection) which eventually produces robins with red breasts that appear to fit perfectly in the ecosystem. The beauty and functionality of the natural world springs from the success of its underlying processes and intricate mechanisms in a marvelous “ticking clock.”Likewise, we’re asking you to see the success of visionary companies --- at least in part --- as coming from underlying processes and fundamental dynamics embedded in the organization and not primarily the result of a single great idea or some great, all-knowing, godlike visionary who made great decisions, had great charisma, and led with great authority. If you’re involved in building and managing a company, we’re asking you to think less in terms of being a brilliant product visionary or seeking the personality characteristics of charismatic leadership, and to think more in terms of being an organizational visionary and building the characteristics of a visionary company.Indeed, we’re asking you to consider a shift in thinking analogous to the shift required to found the US in the 1700s. Prior to the dramatic revolutions in political thought of the 17th and 18th centuries, the prosperity of a European kingdom or country depended in large part on the quality of the king (or, in the case of England, perhaps the queen). If you had a good king, then you had a good kingdom. If the king was a great and wise leader, then the kingdom might prosper as a result.Now compare the good-king frame of reference with the approach taken at the founding of the US. The critical question at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was not “Who should be president? Who should lead us? Who is the wisest among us? Who would be th e best king?” No, the founders of the country concentrated on such questions as “Who processes can we create that will give us good presidents long after we’re dead and gone? What type of enduring country do we want to build? On what principles? How should it operate? What guidelines and mechanisms should we construct that will give us the kind of country we envision?”Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and John Adams were not charismatic visionary leadersin the “it all depends on me” mode. No, they were org anizational visionaries. They created a constitutional to which they and all future leaders would be subservient. They focused on building a country. They rejected the good-king model. They took an architectural approach. They were clock builders!But noti ce: In the case of the US, it’s not a cold, mechanistic Newtonian or Darwinian clock. It’s a clock based on human ideals and values. It’s a clock built on human needs and aspiration. It’s a clock with a spirit.And that brings us to the second pillar of o ur findings: It’s not just building any random clock; it’s building a particular type of clock. Although the shapes, sizes, mechanisms, styles, ages, and other attributes of the ticking clocks vary across visionary companies, we found that they share an underlying set of fundamental characteristics.30. 2006:Prose of its very nature is longer than verse, and the virtues peculiar to it manifest themselves gradually. If the cardinal virtue of poetry is love, the cardinal virtue is justice; and, whereas love makes you act and speak on the spur of the moment, justice needs inquiry, patience, and a control even of the noblest passions. By justice here I do mean justice only to particular people or idea, but a habit of justice in all the processes of thought, a style tranquilized and a form moulded by that habit. The master of prose is not cold, but he will not le t any word or image inflame him with a heat irrelevant to his purpose. Unhasting, unresting, he pursues it, subduing all the riches of his mind to it, rejecting all beauties that are not germane to it; making his own beauty out of the very accomplishment of it, out of the whole work and its proportions, so that you must read to the end before you know that it is beautiful. But he has his reward, for he is trusted and convinces, as those who are at the mercy of their own eloquence do not; and he gives a pleasure all the greater for being hardly noticed. In the best prose, whether narrative or argument, we are so led on as we read, that we do not stop to applaud the writer, nor do we stop to question him.31. 2005:During the dread reign of the Cholera in New York, I had accepted the invitation of a relative to spend a fortnight with him in the retirement of his cottage on the banks of the Hudson. He had here around us all the ordinary means of summer amusement; and what with rambling in the woods, sketching, boating, fishing, bathing, music, and books, we should have passed the time pleasantly enough, but for the fearful intelligence which reached us every morning from the populous city. Not a day elapsed which did not bring us news of the decease of some acquaintance. Then, as the fatality increased, we learned to expect daily the loss of some friend. At length we trembled at the approach of every messenger. The very air from the South seemed to us redolent with death. That pulsating thought, indeed, took entire possession of my soul. I could neither speak, think, nor dream of anything else. My host, was of a less excitable temperament, and although greatly depressed in spirits, exerted himself to sustain my own. His richly philosophical intellect was not at any time affected by unrealities. To the substances of terror he was sufficiently alive, but of its shadows he had no apprehension.32. 2004:Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of hereditary obligation upon the town, dating from that day in 1894 when Colonel Sartoris, the mayor --- he who fathered the edict that no Negro woman should appear on the street without an apron --- remitted her taxes,the dispensation dating from the death of her father on into perpetuity. Not that Miss Emily would have accepted charity. Colonel Sartoris invented an involved tale to the effect that Miss Emily’s father had loaned money to the town, which the town, as a matter of business, preferred this way of repaying. Only a man of Colonel Sartoris’ generation and thought could have invented it, and only a woman could have believed it.When the next generation, with its more modern ideas, became mayors and aldermen, this arrangement created some little dissatisfaction. On the first of the year they mailed her a tax notice. February came, and there was no reply. They wrote her a formal litter, asking her to call at the sheriff’s office at her convenience. A week later the mayor wrote her himself, offering to call or to send his car for her, and received in reply a note on paper of an archaic shape, in a thin, flowing calligraphy in faded ink, to the effect that she no longer went out at all. The tax notice was also enclosed, without comment.33. 2003Look ahead twenty or thirty years. Does anyone expect the next twenty years to be less tumultuous than the last twenty years? Given the changes expected in technology, biology, medicine, social values, demography, the environment, and international relations, what kind of world might humanity face? No one can say for sure, but one thing is reasonably certain: Continuing challenges will tax our collective abilities to deal with them. Failure to rethink our enterprises will leave us little relief from our current predicaments: rising turbulence causing rising stress; increasing disconnection and internal competitiveness; people working harder, rather than learning how to work smarter; and increasingly intractable problems beyond the reach of any individual or organization. If you are an organizational leader, someone at any level concerned deeply about these challenges, then you face a daunting task. In effect, you are engaged in a great venture of exploration, risk, discovery, and change, without any comprehensive maps for guidance.Actually, for most of human history, intrepid explorers have set out on their journeys of discovery without comprehensive maps. The “rutters”(海图)of the European Renaissance, for example, were hand-drawn charts describing specific routes along byway and coastlines, often derived from the hasty notes of previous travelers. No one expected them to provide more than rough guidance. Sea and land alike were turbulent, ever-changing environment. Currents and wind patterns shifted. Vegetation evident in August might be gone the following March. Storms altered the contours of the sandbars and shoals. (浅滩)。

Self-determinationtheory(SDT):自我决定理论(SDT)
Self-determination theory (SDT)= grand theory of human motivation and optimal functioning.= assumption that humans are inherently active organisms.= vision of general positive movement (focus on strength and development of individuals)This article: the ‘why’ and ‘what’ of behavior and the concept of ‘basic psychological need satisfaction’1.Meta – theoretical assumptionsSDT – starting point: organismic dialectic meta-theory (< basic psychological need satisfaction)Bright Side- individuals are growth-oriented organisms who actively interact with their environment- individuals strive towards an authentic sense of self (self – actualization)- individuals strive towards an interconnection with other people(integration in the larger social environment)Dark SideGrowth – oriented nature of individuals requires fundamental nutrients to overcomepassiveness and counter – productivity>> provided or not provided by social context.Practical implicationIndividuals can best be motivated by supporting their developing potential>> Optimal performance = when inherent tendency is cherished and encouraged) Comparison with McGregor (builds on Maslow’s lower needs)Theory X: people are passive entities which need coercion and top – down control for optimal performanceTheory Y: under the right conditions (=provision of self – direction), people want to develop their skills, seek responsibility and take initiative2.The Why Of Behavior= “Intrinsic motivation and the different types of extrinsic motivation all concern particular reasons for engaging in activities or behavioral regulations.”= “reasons for acting”The Interplay between intrinsic and extrinsic motivationIntrinsic motivation: engagement in an activity for its own sake, that is, for the satisfaction and enjoyment ‘experienced during the course of the activity itself.Extrinsic motivation: the engagement in an activity to obtain an outcome that is separable from the activity.Additive view:total motivation = intrinsic motivation + extrinsic motivationi.e. providing monetary rewards for doing an inherently interesting task would increase individuals’ total amount of motivation. If the reward would be removed, the person’s motivation is expected to decrease tot the pre – rewarded baseline.Deci (1971):External contingencies such as monetary rewards, threats and deadlines undermine intrinsic motivation, whereas verbal rewards (i.e. positive feedback) enhanced one’s intrinsic motivation.Moderators:- interpersonal context: way of administering these external contingencies determines effect on motivation (i.e. was the feedback given in a supportive or controlling way)- intrinsic motivation is only undermined if the tangible1 rewards are expected and made contingent upon task engagement, task completion or performance.Moderator differences are explained by the meaning attributed to external contingenciesLABORATORY STUDIESExternal contingencies:- informational function >> enhances internal motivation- Verbal Rewards- Unexpected tangible rewards- feedback- controlling function >> enhances external motivation- Expected tangible rewardsOCCUPATIONAL HEALTH CONTEXTNegative effects of incentives on intrinsic motivation are shown to hold for qualitative, butnotfor quantitative aspects of performance andfor complex interesting tasks which involve intrinsic motivation butnot for simple, boring tasks which excite little inherent enjoyment.1 TastbaarQualitative different types of extrinsic motivationMost motivational theories: quantitative point of view(amount of motivation is a crucial predictor for optimal functioning)Self – determination Theory: quantitative and qualitative point of view(extrinsic motivation can also vary in the degree to which individuals haveinternalized and integrated the reason for behavioral engagement)4 types of extrinsic motivation (ranging from low to full personal endorsement2)-External Regulation (external perceived locus of causality >controlled): the reason for conducting behavior is situated external to the individual.Pressuring aspects are material (i.e.bonus) as well as social (i.e. recognition supervisor).-Introjection Regulation (external perceived locus of causality >controlled): behavior is guided by internally pressuring reasons.By internally administering rewards and punishments, individuals try to attain pride and to avoid guilt or shame.-Identified Regulation (internal perceived locus of causality>autonomous): individuals perceive behavior as their own because they identify with the reason for the activity. Thegoal of the behavior is personally endorsed and considered important.-Integrated Regulation (internal perceived locus of causality>autonomous): completion of internalization. Individuals engage in an activity because this activity fits one’s broader set of values and beliefs.According to SDT, adopting an autonomous versus controlled regulation style yields positive effectsin terms of higher well-being and better performance. Autonomous versus controlled regulation might also be seen as a personal resource that helps one to shape the environment.The differentiation between these qualitative types of motivation is considered useful to understand why employees could be qualitatively motivated for both intrinsically and extrinsically motivation tasks.Practical implication: individuals can best be extrinsically motivated by stimulating their autonomous instead of their controlled motivation. This can be achieved through emphasizing the personal importance and significance of tasks, such that employees will begin to identify with these tasks and might integrate them3.The What Of Behavior= “the content of goal striving”Goal Setting Theory: individuals will best be motivated if they pursue specific rather than general goals, goals of optimal difficulty, and self-set rather than other – imposed goals.2 BekrachtigingSDT: individuals will best be motivated if they strive towards optimally challenging goals and when they are autonomously instead of controlled motivated to obtain a particular goal.-Pursuit of Intrinsic Goals (inward orientation) such as contributing to the community, affiliation, and self –development…>> likely to yield3 more adaptive outcomes>> long – lasting sense of psychological well being-Pursuit of Extrinsic Goals (outward orientation) such as accumulating wealth, acquiring fame and pursuing attractive physical looks>> detract individuals from their inherent growth orientation>> short – lived satisfaction, hedonic feelings of happiness and contentment quicklydisappear, such that again extrinsic goals need to be setThe pursuit of extrinsic goals at the expense of intrinsic goals is therefore hypothesized to be detrimental for employees’ well-being and performance.Thus, goal content has implications for employees’ well-being and job experiences as well as for unemployed individuals.MODERATORS-Differences in attainability4 and attainment5 of types of goals-Person – environment fit: the degree to which one’s personal goals match with the values that are promoted in the context is also be assumed to moderate the impact of extrinsicversus intrinsic goals pursuit.In sum, from a SDT –perspective, the content of employees’ goals matters and the pursuit of intrinsic goals had been shown to be more strongly associated with optimal functioning than the pursuit of extrinsic goals4.Basic Psychological NeedsNeeds:-Maslow (inborn needs for self-actualization and social recognition)-Murray (needs for achievement, power and affiliation)-Cognitive psychology (internal mental processes such as expectations, self-efficacy or attributions rather than needs or desires as the key variables to understand individuals’motivation)-3 Opbrengen, opleveren4 Bereikbaarheid5 Het bereiken van-SDT (both individual’s regulatory style and goal directed behavior cannot be understood completely without addressing the process that energizes and directs behavior // thisprocess = satisfaction of the basic psychological needs)Basic Needs in SDT:-‘Those nutrients that must be procured by a living entity to maintain its growth, integrity and health’ // Crucial for one’s optimal functioning-ABC – Needso Need for Autonomy: inherent desire to act witch a sense of choice and volition6, that is, to be the author of one’s actions and to feel psychological freeo Need for Belongingness: inherent propensity to feel connected to others, that is, to be a member of a group, to love and care and be loved and cared for (i.e. socialsupport, relatedness, attachment theory)o Need for Competence: desire to feel capable to master the environment and to bring about desired outcomes (i.e. self – efficacy (Bandura)), that is, to explore andactively seek out challenges in which one can extend one’s psychical andpsychological skills.-Construct of needs:o McClelland: focus on need strength>>there are interpersonal differences in the value attached to different needs (thisdue to personal socializing processes during personal development)o SDT: focus on need satisfaction>> needs are postulated to be primary, innate propensities // not the degree towhich individuals express a particular need, but the degree to which one is able tosatisfy each of one’s basic psychological needs is considered important // In contrastwith Maslow, SDT does not assume any hierarchical relationship between the 3composed basic needs.-Positive versus negative consequences of the satisfaction versus frustration of the basic psychological needs.o Within occupational health context: research results are in line with the claim that satisfaction of these needs yield universal positive associationso Positive relationship between need satisfaction and employees’ optimal functioning-Need for competence and need for autonomy as explanation for the differential effects of external contingencies(such as monetary and verbal rewards)on intrinsic motivation o Informational function of rewards: relates to individuals’ competenceo Controlling function of rewards: relates to individuals’ need for autonomy6 Wil-Satisfaction of the need for belongingness may facilitate internalization of social norms and values to the degree of introjection. The transition from external regulation to introjection,however, also requires some understanding of the meaning of the behavior and feelings ofcompetence to engage in the activity. Satisfaction of the need for competence thus alsorepresents a necessary condition for introjection to occur.True internalization in terms ofidentification and integration requires support for the need for autonomy.-Satisfaction of the needs for competence and relatedness rela tes positively to employees’ autonomous versus controlled work regulation, which in turn predicts well-being, willingness to follow job training and reduced turnover.-Intrinsic goals comprise the pursuit of affiliation and personal development, which are likely to go along with the satisfaction of the needs for belongingness and competence respectively.As intrinsic goals align with the inherent tendency for personal development and affiliation,they are furthermore likely to be executed volitionally and hence satisfy the need forautonomy-Extrinsic goals for status, wealth and power, in contrast, are more likely to be associated with interpersonal comparison and competition, which are likely to forestall the needs forautonomy, belongingness and competenceanizational Factors Stimulating MotivationSupportive work contexts are beneficial for employees’ optimal functioningJob design and leadership style from a SDT – perspective:Job (re)design (structural aspect)Also: ERI (Siegrist), JD-C (Karasek), JC-R >> little attention to the processes (SDT) underlying the relationship between job characteristics and employees’ well – being-Autonomous (versus controlled) job regulation: positive relation with task significance, feedback and skill variety to employees’ work satisfaction and negative relation withemotional exhaustion-Basic need satisfaction: meaningfulness, autonomy, impact and competence played an explanatory role in the association between stimulating job characteristics such as tasksignificance and feedback, and intrinsic motivation.Leadership Styles (social/inter-personal aspect)Supervisors can stimulate employees by adopting an autonomy-supportive supervisory style which comprises a. the acknowledgement of subordinates’ feelings b. the offer of choices and c. the provision of rationales for requestsAutonomous leadership style>> increase in subordinates’ satisfaction with supervisors, job design, pay, benefits and enhances their trust in the organization><controlling leadership style>>direct employees’ behavior and intrude upon the ir thoughts and feeling.

This behavioral inclination manifests itself in individuals’ behavioral regulation (WHY) and the type of goals they pursue (WHAT). This tendency is thwarted by the provision of external contingencies (EXCEPT IDENTIFIED AND INTEGRATED EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION). Thereby, SDT pledges to move from more controlled to more autonomous types of behavioral regulation. Internalization of reasons for performing fosters optimal functioning and well - being. Individuals’ natural growth orientation must, however, be nurtured for individual to flourish and to actualize their potential.o The social context must satisfy the inherent basic psychological needs for autonomy, belongingness and competence.o This can be achieved through autonomy supportive leadership and stimulating job design。
工作满意度和工作保障哪个重要英语作文
impact an employee's professional life are job satisfaction and job security. These concepts, although intertwined, often present a trade-off in the minds of workers and employers alike. This essay aims to delve into the depths of these factors, examining their relative importance and how they contribute to overall well-being and productivity in the workplace.Job satisfaction is a subjective feeling of contentment derived from one’s job. It encompasses various aspects such as fulfilling work tasks, congenial work environment, recognition for achievements, growth opportunities, fair compensation, and a sense of purpose. Research has consistently shown that high job satisfaction leads to increased motivation, better mental health, higher retention rates, and improved organizational performance. For instance, when employees feel valued and engaged in meaningful work, they tend to be more productive and committed, thus enhancing the overall efficiency and success of the organization.On the other hand, job security refers to the level of certainty or predictability an employee feels about the continuity of their employment. In times of economic volatility, job security becomes a paramount concern as it provides stability and peace of mind. Financial security, ability to plan for the future, maintaining social status, and psychological well-being are some benefits associated with job security. Moreover, the fear of losing a job can lead to stress and anxiety which, if prolonged, can have detrimental effects on health and productivity. Thus, having a secure job can enhance loyalty and commitment to the employer, contributing to a stable workforce and business continuity.However, the interplay between job satisfaction and job security isn't always harmonious. In certain scenarios, a highly secure but monotonous or unfulfilling job may breed complacency and disengagement. Conversely, a job that offers immense satisfaction yet lacks stability might induce stress due to the uncertainty it brings.job security allows for financial planning and reduces stress levels, job satisfaction plays a pivotal role in personal growth and emotional well-being.A balance between these two is optimal – where individuals have a stable career path that also stimulates their passion and creativity.Employers, too, need to strike this balance. While providing job security helps maintain a loyal and skilled workforce, fostering job satisfaction through initiatives like career development programs, competitive remuneration, and positive work culture can lead to increased innovation, reduced absenteeism, and enhanced reputation as an employer of choice.In conclusion, both job satisfaction and job security are vital components of a healthy and productive work environment. They are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary aspects that should be simultaneously nurtured by employers for sustainable organizational growth. An employee who feels secure in their position while being deeply satisfied with their work will likely be more dedicated, efficient, and loyal. Therefore, instead of pitting job satisfaction against job security, the focus should shift towards integrating them seamlessly to create a working environment where everyone thrives.In the broader scheme of things, each individual's priorities may differ based on their life stage, personal circumstances, and career goals. However, organizations that can offer a blend of both job satisfaction and job security stand to gain the most in terms of employee engagement, retention, and overall organizational success.This multi-faceted analysis underscores that neither job satisfaction nor job security should be considered superior; rather, they are equally significant pillars supporting the edifice of a successful and fulfilling professional life.(Word Count: 530 words)---Note: The above response exceeds the character limit and would likely exceed 1272 words when fully expanded upon each point.

弹簧圈数的英文The Coils of a SpringThe intricate design and function of a spring have long captivated the minds of engineers and scientists alike. At the heart of this remarkable mechanical component lies the delicate interplay of coils, each one meticulously crafted to work in harmony with the others. As we delve into the world of springs, we shall explore the significance of the number of coils and how it shapes the performance and versatility of these ubiquitous devices.The number of coils in a spring is a crucial factor that determines its overall behavior and characteristics. This parameter, often referred to as the "coil count," is a testament to the engineering prowess that goes into the creation of these remarkable components. Each coil serves a specific purpose, contributing to the spring's ability to store and release energy, withstand loads, and respond to various external forces.One of the primary functions of a spring is to store and release energy. The number of coils directly influences the spring's capacity to store energy. As the number of coils increases, the spring's abilityto store energy also grows, allowing it to accommodate larger loads and deliver more powerful responses. This relationship is particularly evident in compression springs, where the coils compress and expand to absorb and release energy, respectively.In addition to energy storage, the coil count also affects the spring's stiffness, or its resistance to deformation. A spring with a higher number of coils tends to have a lower stiffness, as the coils can move more freely in relation to one another. Conversely, a spring with fewer coils will exhibit a higher stiffness, as the coils are more tightly packed and resistant to displacement. This principle is crucial in applications where precise control over the spring's stiffness is required, such as in suspension systems or precision mechanisms.The number of coils also plays a role in the spring's fatigue life, or its ability to withstand repeated cycles of loading and unloading. A spring with a higher coil count typically has a longer fatigue life, as the individual coils can share the load more evenly, reducing the stress on any one coil. This is particularly important in applications where the spring is subjected to frequent or high-intensity use, such as in automotive or industrial equipment.Furthermore, the coil count can influence the spring's overall size and weight. A spring with fewer coils will generally be more compact and lighter in weight, making it suitable for applications where spaceand weight constraints are critical, such as in electronics or aerospace engineering. Conversely, a spring with a higher coil count may be larger and heavier, but it can offer greater load-bearing capacity and energy storage capabilities.The versatility of springs is further enhanced by the ability to tailor the coil count to specific applications. By adjusting the number of coils, engineers can fine-tune the spring's performance to meet the unique demands of a particular system or device. This customization allows for optimized solutions that maximize efficiency, reliability, and overall system performance.In conclusion, the number of coils in a spring is a critical design parameter that significantly influences the spring's behavior and capabilities. From energy storage and stiffness control to fatigue life and size considerations, the coil count is a testament to the engineering ingenuity that goes into the creation of these ubiquitous mechanical components. As we continue to push the boundaries of technology, the understanding and optimization of spring coil count will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping the future of engineering and design.。

英语消防服作文
英语消防服作文Here is an English essay on the topic of English fire brigade uniforms, with a word count exceeding 1000 words.Fire brigades around the world play a crucial role in protecting lives and property from the devastating effects of fires. At the heart of their operations are the dedicated firefighters who bravely confront these dangerous situations on a daily basis. Their ability to respond effectively is heavily dependent on the specialized equipment they wear, and the fire brigade uniform is a critical component of this gear.The English fire brigade uniform has evolved significantly over the years, reflecting the changing demands and technological advancements in the field of firefighting. In the early days, firefighters often wore simple, rudimentary clothing that provided minimal protection. As the understanding of fire behavior and the need for enhanced safety measures grew, the uniform underwent a transformation, becoming more sophisticated and tailored to the unique challenges faced by firefighters.One of the most distinctive features of the English fire brigadeuniform is the iconic helmet, which has become a symbol of the profession. The traditional British firefighter's helmet, known as the "custodian" helmet, is a distinctive design that has remained largely unchanged for decades. Crafted from high-quality materials, such as reinforced thermoplastic or fiberglass, the helmet is designed to protect the firefighter's head from falling debris, radiant heat, and the impact of falling objects.The helmet's unique shape, with its distinctive front and rear peaks, not only serves a functional purpose but also carries historical significance. The front peak, for instance, was originally designed to shield the firefighter's face from the intense heat and smoke, while the rear peak provided protection for the neck and shoulders. Over time, the helmet's design has been refined to incorporate advanced features, such as built-in communication systems and integrated lighting, further enhancing the firefighter's ability to navigate and communicate effectively during emergency situations.Alongside the helmet, the fire brigade uniform includes a range of other specialized garments and accessories, each serving a specific purpose in the firefighter's arsenal. The jacket, for example, is typically made from a durable, flame-resistant material, such as Nomex or Kevlar, which provides a high level of thermal protection. The jacket may also feature reflective trim or panels, enhancing the firefighter's visibility in low-light conditions or during nighttimeoperations.The trousers, too, are designed to withstand the extreme conditions encountered during firefighting operations. They are often reinforced with additional layers of protective material at the knees and other high-wear areas, ensuring that the firefighter's legs are shielded from the intense heat and flames. The boots, meanwhile, are constructed with sturdy, slip-resistant soles and reinforced toe caps, providing the necessary traction and protection for the firefighter's feet.In addition to the core components of the uniform, English fire brigades may also equip their personnel with a range of specialized equipment and accessories. These can include items such as self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), which allows firefighters to operate in environments with limited oxygen, or thermal imaging cameras, which enable them to detect hidden fires and locate victims more effectively.The importance of the English fire brigade uniform cannot be overstated. It serves as a crucial line of defense, protecting firefighters from the myriad of hazards they face on the job. The uniform's design is the result of extensive research, testing, and collaboration between firefighters, manufacturers, and safety experts, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of performance andreliability.Beyond its practical functions, the fire brigade uniform also carries a deep symbolic significance. It represents the bravery, dedication, and selflessness of the men and women who choose to serve their communities as firefighters. The sight of a firefighter in full gear, rushing to the scene of an emergency, is a powerful and inspiring image that evokes a sense of admiration and respect from the public.As the challenges faced by firefighters continue to evolve, the English fire brigade uniform will undoubtedly continue to adapt and improve. Advances in materials, technology, and design will undoubtedly lead to even more sophisticated and effective protective gear, ensuring that firefighters are equipped to handle the increasingly complex and dangerous situations they encounter.In conclusion, the English fire brigade uniform is a testament to the ingenuity, dedication, and commitment of those who work tirelessly to safeguard lives and property. It is a symbol of the heroic efforts of firefighters, who risk their own safety to protect others, and a reminder of the critical role they play in our communities. As we look to the future, it is clear that the fire brigade uniform will remain a vital component of the firefighter's arsenal, continuing to evolve and adapt to meet the ever-changing demands of this essential profession.。

脑科学的黑科技英语Brain Science: The Dark TechnologyThe field of brain science has been rapidly evolving, unlocking secrets and unveiling remarkable advancements that were once thought to be the realm of science fiction. From the ability to read and manipulate human thoughts to the development of brain-computer interfaces, the breakthroughs in this domain have been both awe-inspiring and unsettling. As we delve deeper into the mysteries of the human mind, we find ourselves confronted with a double-edged sword – the immense potential for good, and the equally daunting potential for abuse.One of the most captivating developments in brain science is the ability to read and interpret human thoughts. Through the use of advanced neuroimaging techniques and machine learning algorithms, researchers have demonstrated the feasibility of decoding the neural patterns associated with specific thoughts and mental states. This technology has profound implications for fields such as mental health, cognitive enhancement, and even lie detection. Imagine a world where the inner workings of the mind are no longer hidden, where our thoughts and emotions can be accessedand analyzed with unprecedented precision.While this level of insight into the human mind holds immense potential for improving our understanding of the brain and developing more effective therapies, it also raises significant ethical concerns. The prospect of having our most private thoughts and memories accessible to others, without our consent, is a chilling thought. The implications of such technology in the hands of governments, corporations, or malicious actors are far-reaching and potentially devastating. Imagine the implications of a totalitarian regime that can monitor and manipulate the thoughts of its citizens, or a corporation that can exploit the neural patterns of its employees to maximize productivity and profit.Another remarkable development in brain science is the advancement of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). These technologies aim to create a direct communication pathway between the human brain and external devices, allowing for the control of various electronic systems through the power of thought alone. From prosthetic limbs that can be controlled by the mind to gaming experiences that are entirely driven by neural activity, the potential applications of BCIs are truly staggering.However, the development of these technologies has also raised concerns about the ethical implications of merging the human mindwith machines. Questions of personal autonomy, privacy, and the blurring of the line between human and machine become increasingly complex. Imagine a world where our thoughts and actions are no longer solely our own, but are influenced or even controlled by external devices or software. The potential for manipulation, addiction, and the erosion of individual agency becomes a pressing concern.Moreover, the advancement of brain science has also led to the exploration of neural enhancement technologies. From the development of drugs and devices that can improve cognitive function to the prospect of direct brain-to-brain communication, the ability to augment and expand the capabilities of the human mind is a tantalizing prospect. Yet, this too comes with its own set of ethical quandaries.The prospect of creating a class of "enhanced" individuals raises concerns about fairness, equity, and the potential for societal stratification. If access to these technologies is limited or unevenly distributed, it could lead to the creation of a divide between those who can afford the enhancements and those who cannot. This could exacerbate existing social and economic inequalities, further marginalizing already disadvantaged groups.Furthermore, the long-term effects of neural enhancementtechnologies on the human brain and psyche are largely unknown. The potential for unintended consequences, such as cognitive impairments, personality changes, or the disruption of natural cognitive development, must be carefully considered before widespread adoption.As we continue to delve deeper into the realm of brain science, it is crucial that we approach these advancements with a keen sense of ethical responsibility. The power to read, manipulate, and enhance the human mind is a double-edged sword, and we must ensure that the pursuit of scientific progress is balanced with a deep consideration of the moral and societal implications.Policymakers, researchers, and the public must engage in robust and ongoing dialogues to establish robust ethical frameworks and regulatory mechanisms that can guide the development and deployment of these technologies. Only through a collaborative and thoughtful approach can we harness the immense potential of brain science while mitigating the risks and preserving the fundamental rights and dignity of the human individual.The future of brain science is both exciting and daunting. As we unravel the mysteries of the mind, we must remain vigilant and committed to ensuring that these advancements serve the greatergood of humanity, rather than becoming the tools of oppression, exploitation, or the erosion of our shared humanity.。
