The independent living movement in Asia: solidarity from Japan

Independent living movements of disabled people are emerging in Asian countries, supported by independent living centres (ILCs) in Japan. A study was conducted in Japan to explore the impact of the training program offered by Japanese ILCs to disabled people from other Asian countries. A sample of 35 people was selected by a snowballing method. The sample included former trainees from Asian countries and Japanese personnel from disability organizations involved with the training program. In‐depth interviews and a focus group were conducted to obtain information about the program, the experiences of the trainees and Japanese hosts and the budding independent living movement in Asia.     

法律行为概念的检讨与反思

虽然对于《民法通则》相关法律行为概念的界定存在很多质疑，但基于法律行为作为承担实现《私法自治》工具而创造的概念，《民法通则》对于法律行为的概念的界定是符合法学的科学逻辑的，即法律行为的核心内涵是赋予 人的意志的合法化和强制约束力，是合法的意思表示。意思表示是人格人之具有法律效果目的的意思表达。基于合同的法律行为性质以及其所具有可信赖特质，《合同法》对于合同概念的界定也是符合法学的科学的逻辑的，即合同是设定民事权利和义务的合法行为。     

救灾捐赠财产的信托法律规制

汶川地震后，对庞大的社会捐赠财产的管理和分配便成为重要的法律问题。本文通过对我国公益事业捐赠法以及信托法规定的赠与制度和信托制度的比较探讨，认为利用信托制度管理和处分捐赠财产，比利用公益捐赠中的赠与制度管理和处分捐赠财产更加有利于救济灾民以及灾后重建的目的。因为依靠公益信托制度自身的受托人义务，最近似原则，宣言信托等规定，便能有效管理、使用和处分救灾捐赠财产。     

Risk Perception in Context: The Savannah River Site Stakeholder Study

Environmental managers are increasingly charged with involving the public in the development and modification of policies regarding risks to human health and the environment. Involving the public in environmental decision making first requires a broad understanding of how and why the public perceives various risks. The Savannah River Stakeholder Study was conducted with the purpose of investigating individual, economic, and social characteristics of risk perceptions among those living near the Savannah River Nuclear Weapons Site. A number of factors were found to impact risk perceptions among those living near the site. One's estimated proximity to the site and relative river location surfaced as strong determinants of risk perceptions among SRS residents. Additionally, living in a quality neighborhood and demonstrating a willingness to accept health risks for economic gain strongly abated heightened risk perceptions.The Consortium for Risk Evaluation with Stakeholder Participation (CRESP)The Consortium for Risk Evaluation with Stakeholder Participation (CRESP)The Consortium for Risk Evaluation with Stakeholder Participation (CRESP)

Evaluating the Roles of Professional Geriatric Care Managers in Maintaining the Quality of Life for Older Americans

This study examined the roles of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (PGCMs). In-depth telephone surveys were completed with 19 PGCMs. Qualitative data were coded independently by two researchers. PGCMs reported that most clients and/or families seek services in response to a health crisis or because a family member was providing care at a distance. Most emphasized the importance of treating clients as autonomous decision-makers. Services described as most useful were supporting families and caregivers, being an advocate for clients, conducting initial assessments and ongoing follow up, and educating families about community resources and the financing of long term care. Regarding maintaining the quality of life for their older clients, a number of care managers described assisting clients to live independently at home, arranging for transfer to an appropriate level of care, and helping clients die peacefully with dignity. Major challenges PGCMs encountered were family conflicts and obtaining needed services. Recommendations to improve PGCM practice include increasing awareness of services, and establishing minimum professional standards through certification.

What do Potential Residents Need to Know about Assisted Living Facility Type? The Trade-off between Autonomy and Help with More Complex Needs

The current study surveyed 74 assisted living facilities to examine the effect of facility type on resident autonomy and the willingness of providers to admit residents requiring complex services. Facility types included adult family homes, residential care facilities, and traditional assisted living facilities. Adult family homes were more willing to admit residents with higher care needs. By contrast, assisted living facilities’ policies did not support the provision of intensive services, but their policies promoted higher resident autonomy, suggesting that consumers may have to choose between autonomy and help with complex needs when exploring assisted living for long-term care.
