Software design patterns are largely concerned with improving the practices and products of software development. However, there has been no systematic analysis how users' profiles influence the effectiveness of design patterns. The aim of this paper is to investigate the links between the respondents' demographic data from our previous online survey and the design patterns. In this paper we employ a statistical approach to analyse the quantitative data collected from the respondents of our previous online survey. Through analysing the demographic data from the 206 responses of the questionnaire, we find that the positive assessment percentage of using patterns increases with greater experience with design patterns. The results show that the functions of design patterns are influenced by users' experiences rather than users' roles.
软件设计模式主要关注于改进软件开发的实践和产品。然而,目前还没有系统的分析用户配置文件如何影响设计模式的有效性。本文的目的是调查从我们之前的在线调查受访者的人口统计数据和设计模式之间的联系。在本文中,我们采用统计方法来分析从我们以前的在线调查的受访者收集的定量数据。通过分析206份问卷的人口统计数据,我们发现使用模式的积极评价百分比随着设计模式经验的增加而增加。结果表明,设计模式的功能主要受用户体验的影响,而非用户角色的影响。

ABSTRACT During the past 50 years, despite a number of studies, surveys, and a full scale agricultural census in 1971–72, Tanzania did not produced data on agriculture that permitted detailed mapping and analysis of the geographic pattern of crops. An alternative, qualitative method, based on the nine Agro-economic Zones studies published by Diana Conyers and her associates at the University of Dar es Salaam, is illustrated. The spatial distribution of adjectives, used systematically to characterize the importance of crops in 265 agro-economic zones, creates a descriptive geography of Tanzania's agriculture in the early 1970s. Though not without problems, use of such texts may in some cases provide an acceptable alternative way of mapping geographic information, when standard methods cannot be used. In this instance, maps of crop patterns in the early 1970s provide an historical baseline against which data from some future agricultural census of Tanzania can be compared.
在过去的50年里,尽管在1971-72年间进行了大量的研究、调查和全面的农业普查,坦桑尼亚并没有产生农业数据,无法对作物的地理格局进行详细的绘图和分析。本文阐述了另一种定性方法,该方法基于达累斯萨拉姆大学Diana Conyers及其同事发表的九份农业经济区研究报告。形容词的空间分布系统地描述了265个农业经济区中作物的重要性,创造了20世纪70年代早期坦桑尼亚农业的描述性地理。虽然并非没有问题,但在某些情况下,当不能使用标准方法时,使用这种文本可能是绘制地理信息的一种可接受的替代方法。在这种情况下,20世纪70年代初的作物模式地图提供了一个历史基线,可以与坦桑尼亚未来一些农业普查的数据进行比较。

ABSTRACT Provision of land and resettlement of people living illegally in protected areas are important processes in economic empowerment of local communities and conservation of natural resources. This study highlights a prevailing natural resource management problem, that is, illegal settlement and resource use in Karuma Wildlife Reserve. The aim of the study was to assess whether or not voluntary resettlement of encroachers in the reserve could help to reduce illegal use of resources. This was accomplished by carrying out household interviews and visiting the resettlement sites. It was found that provision of land alone for settlement and farming cannot reduce illegal resource use. Local communities need financial support to carry out other alternative economic activities to improve their incomes and reduce dependence on protected resources. It was concluded that people living in abject poverty cannot support conservation of resources without alternative income generating activities. Moreover, local co...
提供土地和重新安置非法居住在保护区的人是赋予当地社区经济权力和保护自然资源的重要过程。本研究突出了卡鲁马野生动物保护区存在的一个自然资源管理问题,即非法定居和资源利用。这项研究的目的是评估自愿安置在保护区的入侵者是否有助于减少非法使用资源。这项工作是通过对家庭进行访谈和访问重新安置地点来完成的。研究发现,仅提供土地用于定居和耕作并不能减少非法资源的使用。当地社区需要财政支持来开展其他替代性经济活动,以提高收入,减少对受保护资源的依赖。结论是,如果没有其他创收活动,生活在赤贫中的人就无法支持资源养护。此外,当地的…

POLITICAL INSTABILITY AND HEALTH SERVICES IN UGANDA, 1972-1997 乌干达的政治不稳定和保健服务,1972-1997年
Pub Date : 1998-12-01 DOI: 10.1080/00707961.1998.9756267

Uganda inherited a socialized medical services system from the British colonial rule. The government through the ministry of health is the main provider of health services in the country. Besides the government, missionary health organizations also provide health services in rural and urban areas of Uganda through cost sharing. Socialized medicine provision is influenced by several factors. The most important factors affecting provision of socialized health services are the prevailing economic and political conditions in the country. This paper examines the relationship between health services provision and political instability in Uganda in the last 25 years (1972-1997). It is argued that political instability and lack of proper planning on the part of the government(s) contributed to the decline in health services. The resurgence and emergence of old and new diseases is one of the indicators of inadequate health services. Malaria, upper and lower respiratory diseases, and measles prevalence and incidences show an upward trend; the outmigration of medical personnel is also indicative of the less than attractive working conditions prevailing in the country. This paper contributes to the literature and calls for the reshaping of priorities in the developing countries’ health research, funding, and decentralization of the health sector.
乌干达从英国殖民统治时期继承了社会化医疗服务制度。政府通过卫生部是该国卫生服务的主要提供者。除政府外,传教保健组织还通过分担费用的方式在乌干达农村和城市地区提供保健服务。社会化医疗服务受到几个因素的影响。影响提供社会化保健服务的最重要因素是该国目前的经济和政治条件。本文考察了过去25年(1972-1997)乌干达卫生服务提供与政治不稳定之间的关系。据认为,政治不稳定和政府缺乏适当规划是造成保健服务下降的原因。新旧疾病的死灰复燃和出现是保健服务不足的指标之一。疟疾、上呼吸道和下呼吸道疾病以及麻疹患病率和发病率呈上升趋势;医务人员的外移也表明该国普遍的工作条件不那么有吸引力。本文对文献作出了贡献,并呼吁重塑发展中国家卫生研究、资助和卫生部门权力下放的优先事项。

The goals of this paper is to introduce the reader to the key geographical research areas relevant to development strategies in Uganda. Special emphasis has been put on key environmental issues which are topical today and these are presented in a manner which can seek the contribution of a geographer in the actual decisions concerning policy or practice with regard to environmental issues. It is being emphasised that the geographers are best placed to undertake researches towards the discovery of the man-environment relationship, seeks to make people understand the fundamental characteristics of natural resources and processes through which thy can be utilised. A key consideration in this paper is to show what distinctive roles the geographer can play and has played in developing geographical inquiry and research in reconciling conflicting economic, political, ecological perception and as a resource analyst and ultimate utilisation of environmental resources.

HIV/AIDS, ADULT MORTALITY AND HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION IN RURAL TANZANIA 坦桑尼亚农村的艾滋病毒/艾滋病、成人死亡率和家庭构成
Pub Date : 1998-12-01 DOI: 10.1080/00707961.1998.9756265
G. Rugalema
ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to explore the role of adult mortality in household formation, fragmentation and dissolution. It is argued that in times of high adult mortality, as is presently the case in communities heavily affected by the HIV epidemic in Africa, household demography undergoes rapid change and results into other forms of households that cannot be explained within the framework of the ‘normative demographic cycle.’ Even though household studies have proliferated throughout the good part of this century, the role of adult mortality in household formation and dissolution has scarcely attracted any attention. However, discussion in this paper reveals that adult mortality is a significant cause of household instability. Premature death of an adult member of a household (notably husband and/or wife) implies a change in household composition by the sheer fact that a member is lost. But such death has a knock-on effect on membership of a household befallen by death as well as other househol...
摘要本文旨在探讨成人死亡率在家庭形成、破碎和解体中的作用。有人认为,在成人死亡率高的时期,就像目前在非洲受艾滋病毒流行严重影响的社区的情况一样,家庭人口统计经历了迅速的变化,并导致在"规范人口周期"框架内无法解释的其他形式的家庭。尽管在本世纪的大部分时间里,对家庭的研究激增,但成人死亡率在家庭形成和解散中的作用几乎没有引起任何关注。然而,本文的讨论表明,成人死亡率是家庭不稳定的一个重要原因。一个家庭的成年成员(特别是丈夫和/或妻子)过早死亡意味着家庭构成的变化,这仅仅是因为一个成员的死亡。但这样的死亡会对一个家庭的成员以及其他家庭成员产生连锁反应……

This paper addresses one of the most challenging issues in protected area management in modern times, that is, people's participation. It attempts to highlight issues, challenges and, to a limited extent, prospects of collaborative management using the case of Mt. Elgon National Park in Eastern Uganda. To give a clear picture of challenges and issues the paper presents collaborative management in the context of rural development and then provides information on the historical background of the National park. Much of the information on activities of the park was collected during a field work study in the Mt. Elgon Region in July 1997.

ABSTRACT A number of studies have focused on the Structural Adjustment Programs in Sub-Saharan Africa, but just a few have focused on the issue of spatial structural transformation under those programs. This paper focuses on such transformation with respect to Ghana's formal wood processing industry. Using an empirically- based qualitative analysis, the paper utilizes the government's industrial locational incentives under Ghana's program to explore post-adjustment spatial structural transformation involving the location pattern of formal wood processing firms, relative to regional development within the national framework. The extent to which the pre-adjustment geographical distribution pattern of firms, deemed as a structural problem, changed in response to the locational incentives is examined. It is shown that for those firms, adjustment was essentially a program which fashioned export sector rehabilitation, using new financial resources, and not for spatial structural transformation.

许多研究都集中在撒哈拉以南非洲的结构调整计划上,但很少有研究关注这些计划下的空间结构转型问题。本文主要研究加纳正规木材加工业的这种转变。本文采用基于经验的定性分析方法,利用加纳政府的产业区位激励计划,探讨调整后的空间结构转型,涉及正规木材加工企业的区位格局,相对于国家框架内的区域发展。作为结构性问题的企业调整前的地理分布格局在何种程度上响应区位激励而发生了变化。结果表明,对这些企业来说,调整基本上是利用新的财政资源塑造出口部门复兴的方案,而不是空间结构转型的方案。pre-adjustme……

POLITICAL INSTABILITY, REFUGEES, AND A HEALTH CARE CRISIS IN MALAWI 马拉维的政治不稳定、难民和医疗危机
Pub Date : 1998-03-01 DOI: 10.1080/00707961.1998.9756258

ABSTRACT Between 1985 and 1992 political instability in Mozambique caused large-scale out-migration of Mozambicans to Malawi. Malawi was sought as a place of refuge since it neighbored Mozambique, was politically stable, and seemed to be better equipped with food and health resources. Such factors encouraged close to one million Mozambican refugees to seek refuge in Malawi. The growth of Malawi's refugee population strained Malawi's already densely populated, ecologically degraded, and economically troubled landscape, creating stress within its health care system. By the 1990s Malawi's limited health care facilities showed signs of collapse. This paper argues that Malawi's experience with Mozambican refugees upset the stability of its health care system, burdening resources and leading to degradation of health care for Malawians and refugees alike. It is suggested that political instability has profound effects on health care systems, as a host country attempts to address the combined health care needs of...
1985年至1992年间,莫桑比克的政治动荡导致莫桑比克人大规模向马拉维移民。马拉维被寻求作为避难所,因为它毗邻莫桑比克,政治稳定,而且似乎有更好的粮食和保健资源。这些因素促使近100万莫桑比克难民到马拉维寻求庇护。马拉维难民人口的增长使马拉维本已人口稠密、生态退化和经济困难的环境变得更加紧张,给该国的医疗保健系统带来了压力。到20世纪90年代,马拉维有限的卫生保健设施出现了崩溃的迹象。本文认为,马拉维处理莫桑比克难民的经验扰乱了该国卫生保健系统的稳定,加重了资源负担,并导致马拉维人和难民的卫生保健水平下降。这表明,政治不稳定对卫生保健系统有着深远的影响,因为东道国试图解决…

Such factors encouraged close to one million Mozambican refugees to seek refuge in Malawi. The growth of Malawi's refugee population strained Malawi's already densely populated, ecologically degraded, and economically troubled landscape, creating stress within its health care system. By the 1990s Malawi's limited health care facilities showed signs of collapse. This paper argues that Malawi's experience with Mozambican refugees upset the stability of its health care system, burdening resources and leading to degradation of health care for Malawians and refugees alike.

ABSTRACT Land remains a hotly contested issue within Zimbabwean society 18 years after independence. The question is why? Governments do have an important role to play in land reform and hence in agriculture restructuring. The role is often less dramatic than a rescue mission, and yet more difficult, because it requires a clear definition of objectives and criteria to be followed. Like most liberation movements ZANU-PF gave prominence to changing rural land ownership to improve access to land by the landless. In government, however, ZANU-PF has failed to deliver on the land issue. As elsewhere, when the issue is land reform, powerful social groups within ZANU-PF have been able to derail public intentions for private gains. We argue in this paper that the failure of ZANU-PF on land reform has very little to do with the perceived constraints of the Lancaster House type of Constitution. In fact, we argue that ZANU-PF never had a clear concept of land reform or any desire to move beyond non-committal politica...
在津巴布韦独立18年后的今天,土地问题仍然是一个备受争议的问题。问题是为什么?政府在土地改革和农业结构调整方面确实可以发挥重要作用。这一角色往往没有救援任务那么引人注目,但也更加困难,因为它需要明确定义要遵循的目标和标准。像大多数解放运动一样,非洲民族联盟-爱国阵线强调改变农村土地所有权,以改善无地者获得土地的机会。然而,在政府中,非洲民族联盟-爱国阵线未能在土地问题上兑现承诺。和其他地方一样,在土地改革问题上,非洲民族联盟-爱国阵线内部强大的社会团体能够为了私人利益而破坏公众的意图。我们在本文中认为,非洲民族联盟-爱国阵线在土地改革上的失败与兰开斯特府式宪法的约束几乎没有关系。事实上,我们认为非洲民族联盟-爱国阵线从来没有一个明确的土地改革概念,也没有任何超越不承诺政治的愿望……
