The major international human rights organizations, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, play a central role in shaping public perceptions of human rights conditions around the world. They are widely perceived as neutral sources interested only in promoting human rights. As a result, they have become the basis of the most important datasets used in quantitative research, and proponents of a Responsibility to Protect have suggested they can act as impartial early warning mechanisms. Yet recent work on these groups suggest that their reporting is also shaped by institutional imperatives, such as the need to get press coverage for reports, to raise funds, and to respond to donors. Human rights conditions in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are arguably among the worst in the world. Yet the reporting of the major human rights organizations on the DPRK has been surprisingly limited. This paper examines the factors that have shaped human rights reporting on the DPRK over time, and the implications of these factors for our understanding of the incidence of human rights reporting globally.
The contribution of Aspergillus fumigatus stress responses to virulence and antifungal resistance
Neil A. Brown,Gustavo H. Goldman 한국미생물학회 2016 The journal of microbiology Vol.54 No.3
Invasive aspergillosis has emerged as one of the most common life-threatening fungal disease of humans. The emergence of antifungal resistant pathogens represents a current and increasing threat to society. In turn, new strategies to combat fungal infection are urgently required. Fungal adaptations to stresses experienced within the human host are a prerequisite for the survival and virulence strategies of the pathogen. Here, we review the latest information on the signalling pathways in Aspergillus fumigatus that contribute to stress adaptations and virulence, while highlighting their potential as targets for the development of novel combinational antifungal therapies.
Student Perceptions of Communicative Conditions in the Language Learning Classroom
( Neil Briggs ) 글로벌영어교육학회(구 호남영어교육학회) 2019 Studies in English education Vol.24 No.1
This study investigated the perceptions of Korean university students with respect to the importance of the communicative conditions (CCs) in the communicative language teaching (CLT) classroom environment. It drew upon the theoretical underpinnings of Activity Theory (Engeström, 1987) in order to illuminate the relevance of particular CCs in relation to student participation in communicative activity. Data were collected and analyzed according to a two-phase and mixed-methods design. In the first phase, the 47-item Communicative Language Learning Class Conditions Survey (CLLCCS) was constructed and completed by 158 student participants. The results of the survey were ranked according to the perceived importance of the students. Significant differences among students of various self-reported ability levels and different teacher-led classes were also identified. Based on the initial survey results, the most important CCs were reduced to a list of 11 items from which students provided written explanations for what they perceived to be the three most important items. The results highlight key features of effective CLT-related pedagogical approaches, including, but not limited to, features of teacher support and concerns pertaining to students of varying levels of ability
Veterans, Organization, and the Politics of Martial Citizenship in China
Neil J. Diamant 동아시아연구원 2008 Journal of East Asian Studies Vol.8 No.1
This article examines the organizational origins of political vulnerability among Chinese military veterans between 1949—2006. Using recently declassified sources from urban and rural archives, I demonstrate that even as they were officially considered core members of the ruling elite and hailed as the “flesh and blood of the revolution,” many veterans nevertheless experienced frequent humiliation and discrimination; few citizens sympathized with their plight. I argue that much of this mistreatment can be traced to the failure of the state to provide veterans with the opportunity to organize either in the context of fraternal organizations or quasi-autonomous federations. In this respect, their predicament is notably different than their counterparts in democracies, fascist, corporatist or other Leninist regimes. Why were veterans in Taiwan, Vietnam and the former Soviet Union allowed to create their own organizations but Chinese veterans—to their misfortune—have not? This essay explains this anomaly.
