企业博客宣言

2003年,斯考伯在Scobleizer博客里公开他的“企业博客宣言”,理由有两个：第一,他用这份宣言提醒自己应该坚守的原则;其次,他将宣言公之于世以便读者能够回馈意见,因为他注意到愈来愈多博客自称是公司员工,而非独立个体。为了本书,他首度修订这份宣言,内容如下：

评《德国的家庭生活——德国史上的新形象》

同法国一样,德国的家庭问题是一个非常现实的问题。巴尔巴拉·博伊于斯撰写的《德国的家庭生活——德国史上的新形象》一书搜集了二千年来德国历史上的大量轶事。同时,尖锐批驳了那些他认为是歪曲了过去形象的一些流行的思想、偏见和传说。有这样一种传说:人们情愿以“三代同堂的大家庭”来抵制今天的小家庭。长期以来,人们都是在很晚才结婚。据一部教区记录簿记载,十七世纪末,女的一般在24岁     

《抉择》的现代化概念及其对第三世界的意义

在最早对巴罗的《抉择》一书的分析中,何塞·罗哈斯的见解最为深刻。罗哈斯认为,在马克思主义历史上,巴罗代表着一种真正的抉择,一种深刻的决裂,一种新的理论水平的出现,是一次真正的共产主义运动理论的革命。《抉择》第1章阐述现代化理论,标题是《通往工业社会的非资本主义道路的现象》。巴罗认为,苏联革命成功之后,使社会生产力现代化这一历史性任务是一种推动力。既然在实现这项任务的过程中不存在资产阶级,那么,布尔什维克将不得不通过巴罗称之为“发展专政”的形式来开创“非资本主义的工业化”道路。巴罗否定了苏联的发展模式以及这种模式在发     

Psychological stress in adoptive parents of special-needs children

This article focuses on the nature and extent of parental stress among adoptive parents of special-needs children. In-depth face-to-face interviews of adoptive parents of 35 children were conducted, on average, four months postplacement (but before adoption). One-year follow-up interviews were conducted with parents of 15 (43%) of these children. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected, including parenting stress scores. Results indicated higher than average levels of stress, particularly on subscales related to parent-child dysfunctional interactions and to raising a difficult child. Increased stress levels were associated with poorer family adjustment and with higher levels of child behavior problems. Stress levels remained mostly unchanged over the year. Responses to open-ended questions identified five stress categories: child characteristics, parent-child interactions, family cohesion, parental adjustment, and adoptions service issues. Practice and research implications are discussed.     

A survey of occupational therapy in Australian work practice

While the prevention and management of work-related injuries are major areas of practice for Australian occupational therapists, there has been little research on occupational therapy's contribution in these areas. This study examined the characteristics of current Australian occupational therapy practice in the work arena. A postal questionnaire was sent to 355 occupational therapists employed in work practice from six of the eight state or territory Occupational Therapy Associations. The questionnaire enquired about demographic details, service provision in the prevention, assessment and rehabilitation areas and further education needs in these areas. The responses of 125 (35%) therapists were analysed and show the services commonly offered in prevention, assessment and rehabilitation. The most commonly offered services included job analyses, workplace assessment and suitable duties programs. The results also indicate high levels of service provision in the workplace. In presenting the findings of the survey, current trends in international and Australian occupational therapy work practice are discussed along with suggestions for directions in future education, practice and research.     

First-year university students' health status and socio-demographic determinants of their self-rated health

This study surveys university students' physical and psychological health status and socio-demographic determinants of their self-rated health (SRH). The study population consists of all first-year students enrolled on the three programs offered at a Swedish university in the autumn of 1998 (3,229 students). In the spring of 1999, a self-administered questionnaire (44 forced-response questions) dealing with health status, life-style and living conditions was sent to the students at their home address (response rate 70%). Associations between overall health and its physical and psychological components were measured, and ANOVAs were conducted to establish the variation in physical, psychological and overall SRH explained by a series of socio-demographic variables. Most students rated their psychological and physical health as good or very good, and restrictions on life activities - when experienced - were found to be considerably more common for physical than for psychological problems. Symptoms related to psychological problems were more frequent among female than male students. Country of birth of student was the strongest predictor of self-rated physical health, and the second strongest predictor of psychological and overall health (following sex of student). Parental educational attainment was a weak but significant predictor of psychological and physical SRH among students, but not of their overall SRH. Overall, physical and psychological SRH, though strongly inter-correlated, are not necessarily redundant measures of one and the same thing. The variation in self-ratings cannot be explained simply with reference to one set of socio-demographic variables.     

Hospitalizations for fall-related injuries among active-duty Army soldiers, 1980-1998

Data from the Total Army Injury and Health Outcomes Database (TAIHOD) were used to describe 28,352 fall-related hospitalizations among active-duty Army soldiers between 1980 and 1998. Soldiers who were younger than age 26, single, and had a high school education or less were at greatest risk. Falls from a height were more likely to be fatal than other types of falls, accounting for 88% of all fatalities. In cases where duty status was known, 64% of the falls took place while the soldier was on duty and half of these occurred during training. The most common type of fall during training was fall from a height (37%). Falls on stairs and ladders accounted for 49% of all off-duty falls. Future research should include identification of specific behavioral and occupational risk factors for falls, particularly those occurring during training activities, and falls occurring off duty.
