中越边境跨国婚姻问题研究——以广西大新县隘江村为例

中越边境跨国通婚比较普遍.在这样一些特殊的家庭里,母亲没有中国国籍、户籍,她们在国民身份认同方面出现危机,并导致婚姻关系不稳定,家庭功能无法正常发挥.同时,由于母亲是外国人,父亲是中国人,而且位于偏远的边境地区和少数民族地区,这些婚姻家庭中的子女的社会化也具有一定的特殊性.面对这些问题,有必要用新的思维来解决这些母亲的国籍问题,要更多地关注这些家庭中的子女.     

略论历史上的湘西开发

所谓“开发”,是各民族人民对某一地区自然资源的创造性利用。从这个意义上说,早在旧石器时代,湘西地区的开发活动就开始了。本文从历史的角度,对湘西地区先秦时期、秦汉至唐羁縻时期、五代至清初土司时期、“改土归流”与“苗防屯政”时期、清末和民国时期的开发活动进行了梳理和简要述评,最后总结其历史经验。

广州地区公众教育观念的心理学研究

文章对广州地区公众的教育观念进行调查,结果发现:广州地区公众的教育观念整体处于中上等水平,并对教育发展中的热点问题给予积极关注,形成了不同形态的心理倾向;教育实践者(教师)、教育社会支撑者(家长)的教育观念与当前教育观念的理想状态存在显著性差异;教育实践者(教师)与教育社会支撑者(家长)之间在教育观念及部分子观念(教育本质观、师生观、人才观)上存在显著差异;不同教育程度、性别与地域的公众在教育观念上存在部分子观念的差异。     

教育目标的人文视域

教育目标的确立和教育本身的理念以及大众的教育评价、市场需求等诸多因素有着密切的关系.当今的教育,由于受到利益至上观念的驱动以及市场经济大潮的冲击,大多偏重于狭义的职业准备.而对于能够使人的精神陶冶、潜能发掘与后劲塑造等方面重视不够,其片面性不言而喻.为此,本文把教育目标放在人文主义的大背景当中进行考量,提出人文本位的教育目标,并从教育应着眼于人的潜能的挖掘和发挥,培养适中的消费习惯,唤起爱护自然资源的意识,促进经济生活人本化以及启迪服务至上的精神等五个方面阐发了这一人文本位教育目标的内在理念.当下正值全国人民贯彻落实科学发展观、建设社会主义和谐社会的伟大历史时刻,上述人文本位教育目标及其理念的确立无疑具有重要意义.     

Talking about work stress: Discourse analysis and implications for stress interventions

This study used discourse analysis to explore the way in which employees understand work stress. Twenty-two female clerical workers in a Canadian city participated in focus group meetings where they talked about and made sense of their experiences of work stress. The women's accounts were analysed using discourse analysis methods (i.e. an examination of how talk is constructed). The findings revealed that talking about being stressed provides a socially acceptable way of expressing discomfort and regaining a sense of importance that is lost through feeling under-valued and under-appreciated in the organization. In contrast, admitting to being unable to cope with stress was considered to be 'abnormal'. The stress discourse fosters a sense of helplessness and ambiguity by not acknowledging external influences on clerical workers' experiences, such as their place within the power structure of the organization, and by limiting their sense of agency and control over problems experienced at work. The implications of these findings for organizational culture and interventions are discussed. For example, employers are encouraged to be conscious of the messages being sent to employees about how negative emotions or distressing experiences at work are to be addressed (i.e. how 'stress' is to be managed). Recommendations are made for future research using discourse analysis, such as the examination of alternative discourses that aim to improve conditions at work.     

哲学社会科学的地位与价值

哲学社会科学最能体现一个国家和民族的品格,事关国家的兴亡、民族的盛衰和高等教育的成败;哲学社会科学事关党和国家事业发展的大局,是立国、治国之本;哲学社会科学最能表征各民族鲜明的个性,体现一个民族的品格,是民族盛衰之学,是民族文明之魂;哲学社会科学与自然科学的一体化是科学繁荣发展的必由之路;从高等教育发展的规律来看,发展哲学社会科学与自然科学的综合比较优势,是建造世界一流大学之根基.     

Medicare's ESRD Program, Part 1: Dialysis.

The federal End State Renal Disease (ESRD) program was created by statute in 1972 as a general population entitlement to be administered by Medicare. The program extends all Medicare benefits to patients, regardless of age, who are diagnosed as having ESRD, as long as they are fully insured for old age and survivor insurance benefits (Social Security), are entitled to monthly insurance benefits under the Social Security Act, or are spouses or dependent children of individuals with the foregoing Social Security benefits. About 7 percent of all ESRD patients are excluded from this entitlement by these criteria. The two major therapies embraced by the ESRD program are renal dialysis and kidney transplantation. In this first part of a two-part article, dialysis is the focal point. Kidney transplants will be covered in the May-June issue of Physician Executive.     

Toward better care and improved payment.

Current medical-business literature often suggests that the rule for hospitals' economic survival under Medicare's prospective pricing system (PPS) is delivery of minimally acceptable care. Extensive investigation of, or care for, illness not related to the primary cause of admission may erode margins or even generate losses. In at least some diagnostic groupings, however, more rather than less investigation can be not only beneficial to the patient but also fiscally advantageous to the hospital.
