Championing the interface between mental health and child protection: evaluation of a service initiative to improve joint working in northern Ireland

The importance of establishing effective inter‐agency working between adult mental health services and child care services in order to safeguard children has been repeatedly identified by research, policy, inquiries and inspection reports. This article reports on the evaluation of an initiative in one health and social care trust in Northern Ireland that aimed to facilitate joint working and so improve service provision and protection for children and families. The Champions Initiative involved identifying a Champion in each multidisciplinary community mental health team and in each family and child care team that would have responsibility for providing information, promoting joint working and identifying any obstacles to better cooperation. The evaluation of this Initiative assessed levels of experience, training, confidence, understanding and awareness in the Champions and their team members at baseline. The Champions and their Team Leaders were then followed up after six months to obtain their qualitative views of the impact of the initiative. The results include comparisons between mental health and child care staff, and crucially, views about whether the initiative has had any impact on working together. This study also generated recommendations for further service development in this complex and important area of practice. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

基于极端分位数回归模型的国际原油与天然气市场相依关系研究

针对国际原油价格与天然气价格之间的相依性问题,提出了金融时间序列极端分位数回归模型,解决市场之间相依关系刻画问题。考虑到金融经济活动和极端危机事件可能会影响到原油和天然气市场之间的依赖程度,首先检测样本内的结构突变点,再引入虚拟变量,运用分位数回归理论时间序列模型进行实证分析。研究结果表明：国际原油价格与天然气价格之间存在动态相依关系,且在熊市和牛市期间两者之间均呈正相关,说明消费者和投资者在能源期货市场消费和投资行为存在显著的羊群效应;此外,原油价格波动引起天然气价格的变化在不同分位点表现出非对称效应,两者之间的动态相依关系受到极端金融危机事件和经济活动的影响,极端条件下依赖程度更强。     

Ethnic Helping and Group Identity: A Study among Majority Group Children

Two vignette studies were conducted on children's evaluations of ethnic helping. In the first study, 272 native Dutch children (mean age = 10.7) evaluated a child who refused to help in an intra‐group context (Dutch–Dutch or Turkish–Turkish) or inter‐group context (Dutch–Turkish or Turkish–Dutch). Children evaluated not helping in intra‐group situations more negatively than not helping in inter‐group situations. This suggests that they applied a general moral norm of group loyalty that states that children should help peers of their own group. In the second study, 830 children (mean age = 10.7) read the same vignettes after their ethnic group membership was made salient. In the inter‐group contexts, children who strongly identified with their ethnic group evaluated an out‐group member not helping an in‐group member more negatively than vice versa. Thus, when ethnic identity was salient, children tended to focus more on group identity rather than on the principle of group loyalty.     

Future Directions: Social Development in the Context of Social Justice

Many societies and cultures have become increasingly diverse and heterogeneous over the past decade. This diversity has a direct bearing on social justice in children's and adolescents' social development. Increased diversity can have positive consequences, such as the possibility for increased empathy, tolerance, perspective taking, and the celebration of various cultural traditions and values, but it can also result in increased prejudice, bias, and discrimination. In this article, we suggest that incorporating a focus on social justice can transform the field of social development. This can be done by considering the larger societal context of diversity or heterogeneity when investigating children's peer interactions, attitudes, group identity, and social experience. In addition, new findings that incorporate social justice concerns have implications for designing interventions to enhance children's healthy social development. We highlight and discuss recent areas of research that bear on this perspective and discuss avenues for future research and investigation.

从《桃之夭夭》看王安忆小说精神的内在转变

小说《桃之夭夭》体现出王安忆创作的一种"过渡",那种更加倾向于真实而平淡的底层化与民间化的姿态,可以看出王安忆小说精神的内在转变。王安忆在文本中倾入了大量的精力来探索女性内在的生命精神:《桃之天天》无疑是最能体现普通女性日常生活姿态的作品,这种一以贯之的精神,是"地母的精神"或一种关于母系生命所创造的奇迹。从"上海传奇"再到这一次真正的"上海日常",王安忆以其细腻的笔触、真实而温暖的感情、熟悉的时空与生活,又一次完成了另一种"上海精神"的建构。
