The meaning of gender while aging with paralytic polio

The purpose of this article is to report the influence of gender on aging with childhood onset paralytic polio. The hermeneutic phenomenological exploration of gender was done using multiple qualitative interviews with 25 women, age 55 to 75 years of age, who had polio since before 14 years of age. We noted three themes: (a) the movement of her body, (b) integrating body and gender, and (c) gender discrepancies. Findings are discussed in the context of gendered expectations and the women's bodies.     

列宁关于建设社会主义精神文明的理论与实践

列宁同马克思、恩格斯生活在不同的时代。十月革命以后,他有七年的社会主义实践。这个时期,正如列宁所说:“对俄国来说,根据书本争论社会主义纲领的时代已经过去了,我深信已经一去不复返了。今天只能根据经验来谈论社会主义。”(《列宁全集》第27卷第480页)又说:共产主义现在已经不只是我们的纲领,理论和课题了,它已经是我们今天的实际建设     

Creating elder-friendly communities: preparations for an aging society

Because many communities where older people live were not designed for their needs, older residents may require support to remain in the least restrictive environment. "Age-prepared communities" utilize community planning and advocacy to foster aging in place. "Elder-friendly communities" are places that actively involve, value, and support older adults, both active and frail, with infrastructure and services that effectively accommodate their changing needs. This paper presents an analysis of the literature and results of a Delphi study identifying the most important characteristics of an elder-friendly community: accessible and affordable transportation, housing, health care, safety, and community involvement opportunities. We also highlight innovative programs and identify how social workers can be instrumental in developing elder-friendly communities.     

艺术与科学:波佩尔式美学述略

在人们心目中,卡尔·波佩尔爵士似乎主要是位科学哲学家,其实他对哲学的贡献涉及诸多领域,从逻辑学、数学哲学、认识论、形而上学及精神哲学直到社会理论、历史哲学、道德哲学及政治哲学。波佩尔哲学鲜明的整体性使我们可以谈论一种波佩尔式的世界观,一个可与经典哲学家的体系相媲美的包罗万象的哲学大厦。只有一个哲学分支未经波佩尔系统探究,这就是美学。     

符号学的起源与发展

就符号学说来,我所使用的最通常的、非正式的定义是"符号学所研究的课题,是各种各样的信息的交换."符号学的关键性术语是"信息"(message).为使模式简单一些,我们假设信息的交换须有两个有机体.一个叫做"发信源"(source).发信源所做的是两种互不相同的事情.首先,发信源"形成"(formulate)信息.信息的形成,或者是采用电气的手段,或者是采     

The systematic application of ethical codes in the counseling of persons who are considering euthanasia

As health psychology develops, psychologists and counseling professionals are becoming progressively more involved with patients who have chronic terminal illnesses such as AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. Consequently, they will be consulted increasingly by patients, caregivers, and lawyers in cases where euthanasia is being considered. There are numerous ethical dilemmas that could arise when counseling persons who are contemplating euthanasia. Professionals must consider carefully issues such as informed consent, bodily autonomy, respect for a person's dignity, patient welfare, as well as responsibility to society. The national psychological, social work, and medical associations of North America have each adopted a code of ethics. These codes may be used by counseling professionals to assist in the resolution of ethical dilemmas that may arise as a result of working with persons considering euthanasia. This paper discusses the relevance of these codes to the counseling of terminally ill patients.     

布隆迪的部族

当前我国的思想道德建设和文化建设

十四届五中全会在为我国绘制跨世纪宏伟蓝图时，强调要把精神文明建设提到更加突出的地位，进一步探索市场经济条件下精神文明建设的新思路，并确定大中全会的主题是思想道德建设和文化建设问题。这是当前全党全国人民最为关切的问题，也是一九九六年的社会热点问题之一。对社会主义精神文明建设的条件和形势的估计一九八六年十二届六中全会通过的《中共中央关于社会主义精神文明建设指导方针的决议》发表十年来，我国社会主义精神文明建设面临的国内外条件发生重大变化。这种变化，形象地说是出现了四个“潮”。1、市场经济的“商潮”。从…
