上海辰山植物园植物收集的现状和展望

上海辰山植物园于2005年开始筹建,与此同时启动了的植物收集工作。本文就辰山植物园基本情况、植物收集中长远规划、进展及技术策略进行了论述。活植物收集和标本收集是辰山植物园植物收集工作的两个方面。活植物收集包括以华东植物区系植物为主的物种收集和以上海适生的观赏植物为主的园艺品种收集,如鸢尾属、绣球属、荚蓬属、锦带属和绣线菊属的舭赏园艺品种。截止到2010年,辰山植物园共收集了9000种和园艺品种。其中,华东植物区系物种有1700种,来自世界范围专业苗圃的园艺品种有2800个,另有4500种和品种是种植于温室的热带和亚热带植物。目前共收集了近10000份标本,多数为研究和活植物收集的凭证标本,全部存放于上海辰山植物园标本馆（CSH）。     

The Igbo of Southeast Nigeria: The Same Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow?

This paper examines Uchendu’s ethnographic study entitled ‹the Igbo of Southeast Nigeria’ with a view to interrogating its relevance in explaining the Igbo of the contemporary time. Chapter by chapter examination of the book shows that although written more than four decades ago, it is still relevant in its account of the continuity and change in Igboland. For instance, although marriage in the traditional way is still the most cherished and popular, church and court marriages are acceptable. Those who can afford it can go through the three rituals. The paper notes that although phenomenal changes in population growth, infrastructure and human resources development, modern economic activities, etc., have taken place, the very essence of Igbo world view, belief system, Igbo hospitality, marriage, kinship and non-kinship networks, Igbo traditional ways in government and affinity to fatherland as captured in the book, to a large extent, still holds true of the Igbo.     

General Practice Observed: Survey of General Practice Records

A study of a sample of records from eight general practices showed that 10% of patients'' ages were not recorded, that 99% of males had no indication of their marital state, and 60% did not have an occupation recorded. In recording of disease episodes a diagnosis was recorded in a little over half of the episodes and was the only recorded item in 10% of records. The recording of the therapeutic agent used was the most frequently recorded item, occurring in 70% of episodes, but the amount prescribed was recorded in only one-quarter of the episodes and the dosage in less than one-fifth. Less than half of the episodes had any symptoms recorded and only one-third had a physical sign recorded.     

Anglo-Canadian Exchange in General Practice: British View of Canadian General Practice

The Canadian general practitioner is remunerated by an item-of-service system of payment which encourages servicing demands rather than needs, discourages delegation of work to paramedical workers, and involves his staff in a massive amount of paper work. He has an excellent hospital attachment, which unfortunately is overdone. His community facilities are piecemeal and his office organization is rudimentary. There are few incentives for good general practice in the community. He spends an inordinate amount of time examining well people. The university departments of general practice are extremely good and much should be heard from them very quickly. The patient''s attitude towards his doctor is quite different from the one prevailing currently in Britain.I returned happily to British general practice.     

Anglo-Canadian Exchange in General Practice: Canadian View of British General Practice

Before embarking on this exchange venture in British general practice I had many preconceived impressions of what it might be like to be an English family physician. Early in my five months of group practice it became apparent that many of my attitudes had no real basis and in fact I had to admit many aspects of the British health system were indeed superior. It has been my impression that a group general practice in Great Britain can certainly afford the practising family doctor a stimulating and rewarding professional and social life.
