Remarriage,Unmarried Cohabitation,Living Apart Together: Partner Relationships Following Bereavement or Divorce

Substantial proportions of people enter into new partner relationships after bereavement or divorce. Nowadays in Europe, unmarried cohabitation and living‐apart‐together relationships are frequently opted for at repartnering. Drawing on the Netherlands’ Living Arrangements and Social Networks survey of men and women aged 55 to 89 years (N = 4,494), this article explicates the determinants that lead widowed or divorced people to enter into old and new types of partner relationships. Cox proportional hazard regression analyses revealed that age at most recent union dissolution, the number of partner dissolutions, working during and after the most recent union dissolution, and other demographic variables are important in weighing the pros and cons of different types of living arrangements.     

An individual treatment programme for sexually abused adult males: description and preliminary findings

Growing recognition of male sexual abuse and its potentially debilitating effects has underscored the need to develop effective treatment interventions for this population. The present study describes an individual treatment programme that was developed for adult males who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. The treatment programme focused on three areas related to sexual abuse, specifically feelings of self‐blame, anger and anxiety. The study also presents preliminary findings on treatment effects, using self‐report measures that five participants completed prior to treatment and at various assessments following treatment termination. Overall findings indicated improvements in behavioural self‐blame, anger, state anxiety and trait anxiety. Treatment did not appear to have an effect on characterological self‐blame over the long term. The study's findings are limited by the reliance on self‐report data and the absence of a comparison group. As such, our findings should be viewed as an initial contribution to the currently limited empirical data on treatment effects for sexually abused adult males.

Explorative study into support needs of caregivers in short-term foster care regarding problem behaviour and dealing with biological parents

Family supporting foster care (FSFC) is a directly accessible, short-term and preventive form of foster care for children under the age of 12. Caregivers in this type of foster care need comprehensive support to deal with their complex tasks. In this contribution, the support needs arising from the behaviour of the foster child as well as concerning dealing with the biological parents of 85 Flemish FSFC-parents are examined, as these are areas FSFC-parents specifically ask support for. These support needs are evaluated for possible links with child and foster parent characteristics. More experienced foster parents and foster parents with a foster child showing more externalising problem behaviour ask for more support in managing the child's behaviour.     

评学术界对马克思资本二重性的研究

马克思资本概念的本质是商品,在商品中包含着学者们所说的资本二重性的具体内容。能够增殖的资本只是马克思三种资本中的一种类型,学术界的失误在于把这种类型的资本普遍化为资本的唯一形式。马克思资本概念的局限性,主要表现在两个方面：一是把早期资本主义社会中的奴隶制残余,当做资本主义生产方式的基本现象;二是对资本和资本家强烈的憎恶感情,妨碍了他对资本认识的客观性和公正性。     

Flexible modelling of simultaneously interval censored and truncated time‐to‐event data

This paper deals with the analysis of data from a HET‐CAM^VT experiment. From a statistical perspective, such data yield many challenges. First of all, the data are typically time‐to‐event like data, which are at the same time interval censored and right truncated. In addition, one has to cope with overdispersion as well as clustering. Traditional analysis approaches ignore overdispersion and clustering and summarize the data into a continuous score that can be analysed using simple linear models. In this paper, a novel combined frailty model is developed that simultaneously captures all of the aforementioned statistical challenges posed by the data.

Data Dependent Cells Chi‐Square Test With Recurrent Events

We consider a recurrent event wherein the inter‐event times are independent and identically distributed with a common absolutely continuous distribution function F. In this article, interest is in the problem of testing the null hypothesis that F belongs to some parametric family where the q‐dimensional parameter is unknown. We propose a general Chi‐squared test in which cell boundaries are data dependent. An estimator of the parameter obtained by minimizing a quadratic form resulting from a properly scaled vector of differences between Observed and Expected frequencies is used to construct the test. This estimator is known as the minimum chi‐square estimator. Large sample properties of the proposed test statistic are established using empirical processes tools. A simulation study is conducted to assess the performance of the test under parameter misspecification, and our procedures are applied to a fleet of Boeing 720 jet planes' air conditioning system failures.     

季羡林的多元文化观和文化交流论

季羡林先生的义理之学集中在两个方面 ,其一是文化多元观 ,其二是文化交流论。文化的产生是多元的 ,不能说是一个地方产生文化 ,或者一个民族产生文化。民族不管大小 ,都对世界文化做出过贡献。文化一旦产生 ,就必然要发生交流。交流是双向的 ,而不是单向的。交流的双方都获益 ,并由此推动整个人类文化不断前进。鲁迅提倡的拿来主义已经证明不是全面的 ,应该既拿来 ,又送去。拿来主义与送去主义相结合 ,就会使我们的文化政策比较全面 ,也会使中国了解世界 ,世界了解中国     

略论原始民族在生育过程中的饮食禁忌

饮食是人类生存和繁衍的首要物质基础。饮食文化比起器物文化来,它的社会学和心理学的因 素更为显著。原始民族在生育过程中所施行的饮食禁忌,特别是父亲的饮食禁忌是原始民族利用交感巫术给 予妻子心理上的安慰和鼓励,籍巫术的感应力以求母婴的平安、种族的繁衍。

Theory and Society - This paper argues that historical research on late medieval and early modern craft guilds fails to escape teleological and anachronistic views, including when they are...     

21世纪我国学校美育的操作设计

面向21世纪的学校美育课程应是一组课群,而不是一门课程.这些课群贯穿在学校教育的全过程(从小学至大学).它既包括学校教育的主渠道,又包括学校第二课堂;它既包括活动类课程、赏析类课程,又包括理论类课程和渗透类课程;它的内容既涉及到不同民族、不同文化、不同类型的人类艺术经典作品,涉及到青少年的艺术能力培养,又涉及到美学、美育、艺术史、艺术批评、审美文化等基本知识.小学阶段美育课群的目标设置为感性教育(敏锐感知,激发情感与想象);中学阶段美育课群的目标设置为趣味教育(在审美赏析中形成健康高尚的审美情趣);大学阶段美育课群的目标设置为人格教育(感性与理性的统一,塑造健康人格).
