Three Approaches to Understanding Self-Help Groups

With the increasing importance of self-help groups, professionals need to augment their understanding of how groups work in order to help clients make effective use of them. Three conceptual frameworks-social networks, social learning and cognitive theory-explain the basic psychosocial processes of self-help groups. Practice implications indicate how clients can benefit from self-help groups and suggest how professionals might enable their clients to realize the full benefits of participation in them.

Media and the Intersectional Other

This article presents the findings of an intersectional study on migrant women on German television. Besides content and textual analyses, we conducted focus groups with audiences and interviews with migrant media workers. As the representation of Others was explored through the nodes of production, consumption, and identity, a complicated intersectional practice emerged. We found the televised representations of migrant women to be dominated by (often veiled) women as signifiers of non-integration but also by instances when gendered ethnicity was used as a marketable attribute. The audiences and producers employed various distancing strategies: they criticized specific programs for blatant stereotyping as much as didactic counter-stereotyping while downplaying systemic shortfalls of the coverage. These distancing strategies were intensified by the acceptance of individualized ideologies of success and commodified logics of media production. Ultimately, class appeared as the central demarcating category. On German television a problematic class distinction was articulated through ethnic and gender difference. Female migrants were often “othered” as lower-class. This class discourse absolved middle-class viewers and media workers from engaging in the systemic struggles over female/migrant identities, thus undermining the potential for gender and migrant solidarity and for the dynamic creation of cultural citizenship as a mode of belonging.     

气藏水平井连续携液理论与实验

在气藏水平井中随着生产管柱倾斜角度的变化，井筒内液体的重力作用会发生改变，从而引起气液两相流型的变化。以产气为主的气井井筒内液体主要以液膜、液滴的形式出现，由此出现了液滴模型与液膜模型两种解释积液的理论。从这两种携液理论出发，考虑生产管柱倾斜角度的影响，对倾斜管内液滴、液膜进行受力分析，推导出了随管柱倾斜角度变化的连续携液临界流速的计算式，使之适用于水平井连续携液临界流量的计算。设计制作了水平气井连续携液实验装置并进行了实验研究，观测气藏水平井中气水两相运动与流型变化情况并测试其临界携液气量，结果表明，气藏水平井中水平井段的液体以液膜携带为主，但直井段中越接近井口，越以液滴携带为主，液滴模型也能适用于计算气藏水平井的连续携液临界流速。

农村居民大病保险经济补偿能力及效果

经济补偿是农村居民大病保险的基本职责,经济补偿能力是履行该职责的前提和基础,经济补偿效果是履行该职责的具体体现。利用江苏省5个样本地区的实地调研数据,从横向和纵向两个维度评估了各地大病保险的经济补偿能力,从大病保险的受益面、患者个人自付比例、大病保险基金使用率等指标综合衡量各地大病保险的经济补偿效果。研究发现,医疗费用、筹资机制、政策设计等多种主客观因素共同约束着大病保险经济补偿能力和补偿效果的发挥,亟需从补偿主体的衔接、大病费用的控制、筹资机制的建设、大病保险的服务等方面进行改进。     

脱离“贫困陷阱”——以西南H村产业扶贫为例

扶贫背景下,深度贫困地区与其他地区相比,诸多限制性因素导致其自身无法实现跨越式发展,深度贫困群体脱贫存在对起始物质资产和人力资本交织的最低需要,即投入的“关键性门槛”.从长期来看,提高人力资本是脱贫并实现可持续发展的重要途径,在无法实现人力资本短期飞跃的现实情况下,则需要关注深度贫困地区外来物质资产的介入.西南M县H村展开的扶贫实践表明,用外来物质资产暂时替代人力资本,通过人工干预扶贫措施来实现村庄产业扶贫的成效显著,结果显示,H村的产业扶贫不仅带来了主营产业收入,同时也带来了明显的外溢收入,H村采用干预扶贫措施农户的收入显著高于未采用干预扶贫措施的农户.研究表明外部援助对于深度性贫困群体脱贫具有重要意义,同时也意识到摆脱深度贫困这一过程的复杂性,“输血”资源到“造血”功能的转化,需要重视人力资本的提升.     

重大公共卫生事件背景下的青年思想政治教育工作

新冠疫情的暴发作为一场全球性重大公共卫生事件对青年思想状况产生了较大影响。思想政治教育必须回应青年的思想关切,并给予及时的引导。基于重大公共卫生事件做好思想政治教育工作有五个基本着力点,即：以树立正确的灾难观为着力点,培养危机意识和担当精神;以倡导科学应对疫情为着力点,提高理性思辨能力和自我防护能力;以讲好中国抗疫经验为着力点,增强四个意识,坚定四个自信;以反思人与自然关系为着力点,增强自然保护意识和生态文明理念;以关注全球抗疫大局为着力点,筑牢人类命运共同体意识。     

关于大学人文教育困境的思考

“大学”是现代社会的产物,是守护人文精神的场所。但同时,市场、科技理性等这些现代社会的标志性成果也在侵蚀着大学的人文精神追求,使其表现出功利主义倾向。现代性的悖论造就了人文教育的艰难处境。能否走出这个悖论,关键在于大学能否保持对现代性的警惕和批判。
