  • FIDE Online General Assembly 6 December 2020
    FIDE Online General Assembly 6 December 2020 MINUTES 1. FIDE President’s address FIDE President welcomed all to the first ever meeting of the Online General Assembly and said that we are learning to work under new conditions and it is not an easy exercise. He proposed not to have formal scrutineers since the system does the count automatically and everyone receives the list with all the comprehensive data after the end of General Assembly; the only secret vote is for Olympiad 2024. The General Assembly approved. Dear Delegates of FIDE Online General Assembly, Dear chess friends, It is a privilege to share with you the results of our work, to summarize what has been achieved over the last two years, and to plan together for the future. My manifesto in 2018 included several promises, and I can proudly say that our dedicated team has managed to deliver - even during the difficult time of the pandemic. Our development program provided support to projects in more than 100 countries, and FIDE will keep providing this help since we know how important it is for national federations. Last year we allocated over 2 mln Euro for these purposes, this year we budgeted 1 mln Euro - due to reduced activity caused by the pandemic - but we are ready to get back to a full-scale support once the situation is normalized. Not only we cared to deliver funds to the federations, we ensured constant technical assistance and communication in such a way that many federations could feel that FIDE is always there for them.

  • China Opens Translational Medicine Centre in Shanghai First of Five Linked Institutes Aims to Capitalize on Basic-Research Investments
    IN FOCUS NEWS BIOMEDICINE China opens translational medicine centre in Shanghai First of five linked institutes aims to capitalize on basic-research investments. BY DAVID CYRANOSKI ver the past decade, China has poured money into research, especially in the biomedical sciences. But as the nation’s Ohealth-care costs have risen in the past few years, critics have argued that the investment has not paid off. A group of researchers and gov- ernment officials now hopes to improve those returns with the official opening this month of the National Centre for Translational Medicine NETWORK/REUTERS/CORBIS CHINA STRINGER in Shanghai.

  • The Working Incentive of Chinese Provincial Environmental Agency
    Chinese Public Administration CPAR Review Volume 12 Issue 1, June 2021 Promotion for Performance? The working incentive of Chinese provincial environmental agency heads in pollution reduction Lei Liu*, Mingyue Li*, May Chu† * Sichuan University, China † The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Promotion is argued to be the primary working incentive for Chinese officials. Different from previous studies that focus on the provincial governors and party secretaries, this paper makes the first attempt to examine whether the career turnover of China’s provincial environmental agency heads (PEAHs) is affected by the environmental performance within their jurisdictions. The results show that the performance in reducing nationally targeted pollutants—i.e., sulfur dioxide (SO2) and chemical oxygen demand (COD)—is not necessarily correlated with political turnover, which only depends on political factors such as the age when assuming office, tenure of the office, and if they are local people. Therefore, a lack of promotion incentive is found among China’s PEAHs in local environmental management. Their working incentive is straightforward top-down control, making them merely the implementers of economy-dominated local public policy. A more robust and transparent performance management system, to connect the provincial environmental performance with the PEAH’s political career, is supposed to be beneficial for China’s environmental management. Keywords: performance management, promotion incentive, environmental governance, environmental agency head, China INTRODUCTION simplified, over-ideal, and ignoring specific career motivation of local officials (Gao, 2017; Kostka & Yu, nder China’s political system, the cadres 2015; Mei & Wang, 2017; Zheng, Kahn, Sun, & Luo, play a dominant role and exert significant 2014), promotion has still been the most prevalent Uinfluence on local governance (L.
