Prevalence of Elder Mistreatment as Reported by Social Workers in a Probability Sample of Adult Day Health Care Clients

ABSTRACT

There are growing numbers of Adult Day Health Care (ADHC) programs providing needed health services to community-dwelling elderly. Therefore, ADHC staff are in an opportune position to identify and to intervene in suspected elder mistreatment (EM) cases. In this paper, prevalence estimates of EM are reported for a probability sample of ADHC clients in New York State, using data provided during a social worker informant interview. The abuse “signs and symptoms” items in the social worker informant interview schedule were divided into two categories: (1) physical indicators and (2) client's behavioral indicators. Physical indicators included unexplained bruises and welts, unexplained burns, unexplained lacerations or abrasions, human bite marks, and frequent injuries that are “accidental” or “unexplained.” Client's behavioral indicators included apprehension, being frightened, and afraid to go home. EM prevalence for all 8 items was 12.3 percent. When “apprehensive” was excluded, the EM prevalence was 3.6 percent in this sample. These findings suggest that ADHC provides a point of contact for the assessment and intervention of EM that might otherwise be overlooked among elders who are often isolated or homebound.     

高职院校学生活动开展的现状和对策

院校学生活动是学生工作的重要形式,也是学生的第二课堂,可以通过构建学生活动模块、引进项目化管理、学生活动和学生党建工作相结合、学生活动和教学相结合、学生活动和职业教育相结合等对策加以提升。     

Interplay between Friends' Aggression and Friendship Quality in the Development of Child Aggression during the Early School Years

The aim of this study was to investigate the unique and combined role of friendship quality and friends' aggression in regard to the persistence of young children's physical aggression from kindergarten to grade 2. The sample included 1555 children (808 girls) assessed annually using teacher ratings. Two theoretical perspectives (i.e., the social learning and the social bonding perspectives) served as frameworks to guide the analyses and interpret the results. In line with the social learning perspective, friends' aggression was related to a significant increase in children's physical aggression. However, in line with the social bonding perspective, good friendship quality played both a compensatory and a protective role, by, respectively, reducing children's initial level of physical aggression and by mitigating, albeit marginally, the associations between friends' and children's physical aggression. These results suggest that fostering a positive relationship between friends in the early school years may decrease physical aggression even if the friends are aggressive.     

民国时期广州穆斯林文人的忧患意识

作者认为,民国时期广州穆斯林文人忧患于广大穆斯林宗教知识的匮乏、汉文化水平的低下等,创办学校和报刊,加强宣传。针对对伊斯兰教的侮教案和基督教的误解做出回应,呼唤民族觉醒,振兴伊斯兰文化,以期树立民族自信心。他们为广东地区伊斯兰文化的延续做出了贡献,同时他们的作品也为后人留下了珍贵史料。作者对当时回族知识分子予以一定评价。     

西北贫困民族聚居区学校体育特征研究

在层层比较中作者们认为西北贫困民族聚居区学校体育具有总体比较落后、地域特征明显;观念比较陈旧、经费严重不足;民族特色突出、发展潜力较大;少数民族青少年为主体,多数以一课两操为支撑四个方面的基本特征。     

基于灰色系统建模技术的人体疾病早期预测预警研究

传统健康体检主要通过对单次体检指标进行横向比较和静态分析,忽略个体差异,纯粹从指标高低来判断体检者健康状况与身体状态,难以及时发现体检者可能存在的疾病隐患。由于个体体检指标具有样本量小、信息不确定、数据类型异构、影响因素构成复杂等特征,传统以大样本为基础的数学模型均难以适应此类小数据系统的建模要求。为此,通过建立适用于人体主要指标趋势预测的灰色系统模型（简称HIGM（1,1）模型）,实现对人体主要健康指标的动态建模与趋势分析,从而可以掌握体检者未来一段时间身体指标的变化趋势及可能存在的疾病隐患。研究成果对提升体检效果、强化体检意义,促进灰色理论与现实问题的有效对接等方面,均具有积极意义。     

毛泽东对党的马克思主义教育活动的历史贡献及其启示

毛泽东领导了我党历史上第一次马克思主义教育活动——延安整风运动,由此开创了我党开展马克思主义教育活动的先河。他开创的以马克思主义理论武装全党的教育方式、批评与自我批评的教育方法、服务于党和国家中心任务的教育目的是对我党马克思主义教育活动的重要历史性贡献,为党内马克思主义教育积累了成功的经验。同时,也存在值得我们借鉴的教训。这些经验和教训,对于我们深入开展党的马克思主义教育活动仍然具有重要的启示作用。     

高校公共体育课“2S”教学理念的提出与实施

依据“健康第一”、“以人为本”的理念,结合体育教学基本理论,针对我国大学生体质健康状况急剧下降的严峻形式,创造性地提出高校公共体育“2S”教学理念,强调“微笑”与“出汗”的相互融合。该教学理念重视快乐体育教学模式、成功体育教育模式的价值,突出教学内容专项化,教学过程的科学负荷,教学方法的多样化,强调教学组织以学生为主体,教学评价重视过程评价。     

与实验紧密结合的工科大学物理小班化探索

针对工科大学物理在小班化进程中的师生角色转换和课时不足等问题,分析了教师角色、教学内容和模式,并结合高校培养目标,从物理理论和实验的关系着手,提出一种将两者融为一体的课程模式,经由多角色教师团队、“全”和“精”的教学内容和开放的教学模式,搭建起理论和实验“承上启下”的桥梁。学生在实验平台上的具体实践表明,这种小班化教学效果明显。     

朝鲜王朝大射礼研究——以《大射礼仪轨》为中心
