坚持“以德治校” 加强新时期高校师德建设

"以德治校"是"以德治国"的基础,在新的历史条件下,加强师德建设有着特殊重要的意义.要搞好高校思想道德建设,首先要提高高校领导干部的道德修养,以德治"官",提高管理干部道德修养,同时应把师德建设作为"以德治校"的重点.加强师德建设必须改革旧的人事制度,废除教师职业终身制.尊重教师劳动,改善教师待遇,改革分配制度.健全考核评价制度,建立监督激励机制.     

中华传统文化缘何未成为全球化大厦担纲之梁--谈逻辑与分析理性

中华传统文化缺少分析理性,这是它不能产生现代科学技术的原因.辩证理性需要分析理性的"监督",否则就会沦为诡辩.哲学曾经历的庸俗化需要基于分析理性加以清理.现代逻辑的重大成果是分析理性的杰作,其丰富的哲学营养和对传统哲学思考的挑战应当引起哲学家的关注.

When the main job tasks are perceived to be ‘irrelevant’ in the workplace: the internal uselessness of corporate social responsibility work in Japan

ABSTRACT

Despite a symbolic shift toward ‘emotional taint’ in dirty work literature, the role of the workplace has not been studied in relation to socially admired professions, such as corporate social responsibility (CSR) work. This article carries out an in-depth, critical examination of CSR as an emotionally tainted occupation in Japan. Its findings, substantiated by an analysis of 34 CSR workers’ rhetoric, help conceptualise ‘internal uselessness’. This emerges when workers feel their organisations publicly foster an image of their work that is decoupled from its internal reality, assigning them chief tasks they consider irrelevant. This leads to negative consequences that damage their workplace social relationships, professional aspirations and emotional well-being. The findings ultimately show that these CSR workers in Japan attempt to counterbalance internal uselessness through a social quest with peers outside their workplace, but also manage their emotions by rationalising their job status as inescapable, influenced by situated commitment norms.     

Evaluating and Visualizing the Economic Impact of Commercial Districts Due to an Electric Power Network Disruption

Critical infrastructure networks enable social behavior, economic productivity, and the way of life of communities. Disruptions to these cyber–physical–social networks highlight their importance. Recent disruptions caused by natural phenomena, including Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in 2017, have particularly demonstrated the importance of functioning electric power networks. Assessing the economic impact (EI) of electricity outages after a service disruption is a challenging task, particularly when interruption costs vary by the type of electric power use (e.g., residential, commercial, industrial). In contrast with most of the literature, this work proposes an approach to spatially evaluate EIs of disruptions to particular components of the electric power network, thus enabling resilience‐based preparedness planning from economic and community perspectives. Our contribution is a mix‐method approach that combines EI evaluation, component importance analysis, and GIS visualization for decision making. We integrate geographic information systems and an economic evaluation of sporadic electric power outages to provide a tool to assist with prioritizing restoration of power in commercial areas that have the largest impact. By making use of public data describing commercial market value, gross domestic product, and electric area distribution, this article proposes a method to evaluate the EI experienced by commercial districts. A geospatial visualization is presented to observe and compare the areas that are more vulnerable in terms of EI based on the areas covered by each distribution substation. Additionally, a heat map is developed to observe the behavior of disrupted substations to determine the important component exhibiting the highest EI. The proposed resilience analytics approach is applied to analyze outages of substations in the boroughs of New York City.     

Indigenous Psychology: Grounding Science in Culture,Why and How?

My agenda is to ground psychological science in culture by using complex rather than overly simple models of culture and using indigenous categories as criteria of a translation test to determine the adequacy of scientific models of culture. I first explore the compatibility between Chinese indigenous categories and complex models of culture, by casting in the theoretical framework of symmetry and symmetry breaking (Bolender, 2010) a series of translations performed on Fiske's (1991) relational models theory. Next, I show how the dimensional approach to culture, prevalent in mainstream psychology, fails the translation test. Ethical implications of this analysis for cross cultural psychology are discussed.     

Complementary health approaches for postpartum depression: A systematic review

Postpartum Depression (PPD) affects approximately 9 - 20% of women. Many women with PPD go undiagnosed and/ or do not follow through on referrals for treatment. Although the most routinely prescribed treatments for PPD are antidepressant medication and psychotherapy, a significant number of women desire non-traditional options. This article provides a systematic review of ten recently published, randomized clinical trials in the examination of the effectiveness of complementary health approaches—the use of non-mainstream products and interventions—on PPD. A search of nine databases of the English language literature from the years 2006 to 2018 was performed. Review criteria included published work, utilization of randomized-controlled trials, and the use of a reliable and valid measurement tool to identify cases of PPD and monitor changes in symptom severity. The studies reviewed focused on the following interventions: aromatherapy, bright light therapy, electroacupuncture, infant massage, iron supplementation, mindfulness training, omega-3 fatty acids, saffron, and yoga. Outcomes demonstrate the feasibility and safety of these approaches, as well as varying degrees of effectiveness. While many were pilot studies using small sample sizes, the results are encouraging and substantiate the need for additional trials. Studies are summarized and limitations and implications for social work and future research are described.     

Spatial approaches to social work – theoretical foundations and implications for practice and research

ABSTRACT

Spatial approaches have inspired and grounded the social sciences and social geography already for a longer time. Beyond these models, the theory discourse on social work developed innovative concepts and models of socio-spatial approaches. They set a special focus on aspects of individual and social development, the concept of acquirement and emancipatory approaches to spatial design. For interventions, special methods for socio-spatial analyses were developed. This article reflects the main approaches of this theory discourse and asks for its key implications for social work practice and research.
