Vested Interests and the Diffusion of Education Reform across the States

How do interest groups shape the diffusion of policies they oppose across the states? This study explores this question using the case of teachers' unions and education reform policies. Using a novel dataset on charter, voucher, and performance pay policies spanning 1992–2013, I find evidence that strength of the teachers' unions decreases the likelihood of performance pay and that additional strength is less impactful with more Democratic control of the legislature. Teachers' unions are weakly related to a lack of charter laws and do not impact voucher laws. The latter two policies are more strongly associated with policymaker learning and education reform advocacy groups, respectively. These findings suggest that vested interests most strongly impact the policies that most fundamentally threaten their organizational strength and that this effect is conditioned on the party in power; increases in interest group strength are not necessary when policymakers are already sympathetic.

Tibetan Woodcarving

Keeping Abreast with Religious Advancement
The chapel in the Tashilhunpo Monastery for the stupa of the 10th Panchen Lama was built in 1993. I found the woodcarving art was my newly discovered complex art. When and where from does Tibetan woodcarving originates？ I have not yet to make any conclusions from all my research. Notwithstanding, academic circles generally conclude that the origin and advancement of Tibetan woodcarving art was keeping abreast with the dissemination and development of Buddhism in Tibet. That is to say woodcarving was included when Songtsen Gampo built the Tubo Kingdom in the 7^th Century.

藏医

藏医药学是一门古老的医学科学,它是藏族先民们在漫长的历史长河中,不断与自然界和各种疾病进行斗争的经验总结。藏医学在发展中充分开发和利用高原独有自然条件和药物资源的同时,还借鉴地吸收了兄弟民族以及周边国家（东亚各国）医药学的精华,博采众家之长,通过不断研究总结、反复实践,逐步提高,从而形成的一门传统医学,具有鲜明的民族特色和高原特色。藏医学不仅历史悠久,理论完整,内容丰富。在现代医学高度发达的今天,藏医学在某些疾病的治疗方面都还有着其独特的方法和显著的疗效,在某些治疗领域尚没有理想的替代方法。藏医学的临床价值,历史价值和学术价值等也越来越多地被人们了解和认知。今天,藏医学已和中医学、古印度医学和西方传统医学并称为世界四大传统医学。
