Addressing Elder Abuse: The Waterloo Restorative Justice Approach to Elder Abuse Project

The Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) of Waterloo Region, in partnership with a number of other social service agencies, designed and implemented a restorative justice model applicable to older adults who have been abused by an individual in a position of trust. The project was very successful in building partnerships, as many community agencies came together to deal with the problem of elder abuse. The program also raised the profile of elder abuse in the community. However, despite intensive efforts, referrals to the restorative justice program were quite low. Because of this, the program moved to a new organizational model, the Elder Abuse Response Team (EART), which has retained the guiding philosophy of restorative justice but has broadened the mandate. The team has evolved into a conflict management system that has multiple points of entry for cases and multiple options for dealing with elder abuse. The team has developed a broad range of community partners who can facilitate referrals to the EART and also can help to provide an individualized response to each case. The transition to the EART has been successful, and the number of referrals has increased significantly.     

Anti-Homophobia Education in Public Schooling: A Canadian Case Study of Policy Implementation

SUMMARY

An 18-month study investigating the implementation of a Canadian anti-homophobia school policy found that such policies need to address homophobic ideas, institutional forms of homophobia and heterosexism, and individual expressions of homophobia. Teacher development is identical as an area in which Canadian policy implementation can be improved. More resources are needed to support the complex negotiations that educators must undertake when their professional and personal commitments to equity and human rights education collide with their own and others' personal and community religious beliefs about homosexuality.     

论西方大学组织文化的价值取向——以大学校训为例

大学校训随着近现代意义上大学的创建而产生,反映了大学深厚的历史传统与文化底蕴,集中体现了大学作为一个社会组织特有的文化个性和精神理念,引领着大学的价值取向,反映了大学独具特色的组织文化。西方大学校训具有“追求真理”、“崇尚自由、“服务社会”的价值取向,建立了完善的大学组织文化,使大学自身与社会和谐发展,在原有培养人才、科学研究和服务社会三大职能的基础上进一步拓展,成为经济社会发展的发动机和服务站,从而适应当今科技、学术、文化飞速发展的要求。     

Abstinence and Relapse Rates Following a College Campus-Based Quit & Win Contest

Abstract

Objective: To conduct and evaluate Quit & Win contests at 2 2-year college and 2 4-year university campuses. Participants: During Spring semester, 2006, undergraduates (N = 588) interested in quitting smoking signed up for a Quit & Win 30-day cessation contest for a chance to win a lottery prize. Methods: Participants (N = 588) completed a baseline survey, provided a urine sample to verify smoking status before joining the contest, and completed a follow-up survey at contest end to assess abstinence. Participants reporting continuous 30-day abstinence were surveyed again 2 weeks post contest to assess relapse. Results: Participants smoked an average of 9.8 ± 6.7 cigarettes/day on 26.7 ± 5.7 days/month. Among participants completing a follow-up survey (74%), 72.1% reported abstinence during the entire contest period (Intent-to-Treat Analysis = 53.2%). 55.3% of those abstinent at the end of contest had resumed smoking 2 weeks post contest. Conclusions: Campus Quit & Win contests appear feasible, acceptable, and effective at facilitating short-term abstinence. Further research is needed to identify strategies to prevent postcontest relapse.     

地道战再研——以"五一""扫荡"后之冀中地区为中心的考察

地道战是冀中军民在反击日军"扫荡"的过程中产生,随着战争形势的变化而逐步发展的.有关冀中地道战的研究始于20世纪40年代.但是,尽管有关地道战的研究开展较早,尽管人们通过各种媒介已经对之耳熟能详,客观来讲,有关地道战的研究还很不完善甚至可以说很薄弱,有一些具体问题还需要继续探讨.本文从"五一""扫荡"后冀中地道战开展的动因、地道战开展过程中所取得的战绩、地道战开展过程中所体现的特点及其在抗日战争中所起的作用等三个方面对冀中地道战进行了再研究.文章认为,地道战不仅在中国军事战争史上是一个创造,即便是在世界军事战争史上也是一个奇迹,它是第二次世界大战时期在中国特殊环境下形成的一种斗争方式,具有战争范式的重大意义,冀中军民在开展地道战过程中结合本地实际情况所体现出来的求实、创新、奋斗精神永远值得我们后人学习.     

在Solaris环境下通过实现chroot增进系统安全性

服务器安全有操作系统本身的安全问题和由某些进程提供的服务引起的安全问题，而很多入侵是通过后台进程破坏系统的．在UNIX／l，INUX系统上，chroot是一种减小系统暴露程度，来降低由后台进程引起的安全问题的有效方法．由于DNS服务器的安全会直接影响到网络的可访问性，本文以BIND为例详细描述了如何使用chroot增进校园网DNS系统的安全性，并总结了在Solaris8环境下实现chroot的一般方法．

国际社会基本特征实证分析--20世纪90年代--21世纪初

国际社会是个历史范畴,是人类社会发展到各个实体相互联系日益密切,相互依赖日益深化,相互作用日益加强时期的产物.国际社会是人类各个政治共同体或国家相互交往关系的总和,或指因共同的物质条件而相互联系在一起的世界共同体.国际社会是由主权国家、国际组织、跨国公司、个体政治家、政治活动家等多种元素组成.国际社会有三个基本特征:一、国际社会各个主体既相互依存,又相互矛盾.二、国际社会具有松散性和无政府性.三、国际社会的发展是动态的平衡.
