A resilience enhancing trauma-informed program for children and mothers in domestic violence shelters: A qualitative study

In domestic violence (DV) shelters, offering psychosocial support services to mothers and children is vital. The program ‘Time for Tony the Turtle’ has been developed for mothers and children residing in DV shelters in the Netherlands. It aims to foster attachment and regulation skills, which can also prepare for trauma treatment if sought after later on. This qualitative study explores the experiences of mothers, children and professionals with the program and its perceived impact and what components function as facilitators and barriers in the implementation of such a program in DV crisis shelters in the Netherlands. We conducted in-depth interviews with 15 mothers, 11 children and 18 professionals from three organizations offering DV shelters. We used thematic analysis to identify patterns of meaning in the interviews. Mothers, children and professionals valued that the program provided a calm moment for reflection in hectic times and that the playfulness in which the program addressed trauma-related topics. However, mothers find it difficult to attend the program in the beginning of their shelter stay, therefore hampering the applicability of the program. Our findings suggest that integrating the topic of discussing father in a program in crisis shelters is complex and deserves more attention.     

国际服务外包趋势与我国服务外包的发展

服务外包是经济全球化的必然趋势,发展服务外包能促进我国产业升级、劳动就业、国外直接投资和技术进步。离岸服务外包加速发展,其中软件外包是最大热点。我国承接软件外包具有投资环境好、劳动成本低等优势和高质量的软件人才不足、软件企业规模小、品牌知名度低等劣势。发展服务外包必须转变观念、培养合格人才和建设国家品牌。     

我国家庭暴力特征、成因及其对策研究

家庭暴力是发生在家庭成员之间的暴力行为,它严重损害了受害者的身心健康,破坏了社会的稳定和发展,引起了全社会的关注。为了给受害者更全面、更具体、更适当的协助,以取得更好的社会效果,必须建立法律、社会、教育等各层面的立体防治支持体系。     

基于灰色参数组合优化新模型的生活垃圾清运量预测研究

准确的生活垃圾清运量预测是环保部门制定生活垃圾处置政策措施的重要依据。为此,文章首先在新结构多变量灰色预测模型基础上,对自变量驱动项、累加阶数、背景值系数进行组合优化,推导并构建了适用于生活垃圾清运量预测的新型多变量灰色系统模型。然后,应用该模型对江苏省垃圾清运量进行实例分析,结果显示该模型综合误差仅为0.996%,其性能优于同类其他多变量灰色预测模型(1.933%、4.894%)。最后,应用该模型对江苏省未来清运量进行了预测,并提出了相关的对策和建议。本研究成果为环保部门制订相关政策措施提供了参考依据,同时为生活垃圾清运量预测提供了一种有效的建模方法。     

对司法监督国内仲裁的批判性重构

司法对仲裁监督或者支持,决定和界分了一国仲裁发展的趋势.我国长期以来司法对仲裁的监督大于支持,而且实行内外有别的审查规定,严重制约了我国国内仲裁的发展.检讨司法对国内仲裁监督的诸多弊端,提出支持大于监督等完善之策,是国内仲裁得以健康发展的必由之路.     

城市生活垃圾分类的协同治理论析——以福州市为例

城市生活垃圾分类治理是在政府、市场、社会等多元主体参与下的环境整治行为。以福州市生活垃圾分类实践为样本,分析福州市生活垃圾分类治理在初步探索阶段、试点示范阶段、重点推进阶段的不同推进情况,发现福州市生活垃圾分类治理存在主体困境、手段困境、资金困境、技术困境,影响了生活垃圾分类治理的成效。推进城市生活垃圾分类协同治理,构筑新时代垃圾分类协同共治新模式,能够化解垃圾分类治理碎片化困境,有助于实现不同主体与系统间的良性互动。各级政府需要从治理主体的责任划分、治理手段的灵活运用、治理资金的多元筹措、治理技术的协同共振等方面入手,因地制宜地构建城市生活垃圾分类协同共治模式。     

惩处对妇女实施暴力的行为刻不容缓

在现实中存在大量因家庭暴力严重损害妇女身心健康的事件,施暴者由于现行法律规范的不完善,往往不能得到有效的制裁,而不堪忍受长期家庭暴力愤而杀夫的妇女如何定罪处罚,在司法实践中出现了"不同法院同罪不同判"的情况,这些情况的出现,不利于司法统一,也不利于平等地保护公民的合法权益,因此加大对妇女暴力实施者的惩处力度刻不容缓。     

Child Sexual Abuse in Zimbabwe

Although child sexual abuse is a significant public health problem globally, its incidence, prevention, and management is less well described in resource-poor settings. In poorer settings prevention initiatives assume even more importance since resources for managing abused children are severely limited. This article examines the current status of policy and practice related to the prevention of child sexual abuse in Zimbabwe. It identifies implementation challenges and highlights opportunities that could be embraced to reduce CSA in Zimbabwe, based on evidence synthesized from recent work. Although Zimbabwe has a well-established legal and regulatory framework to protect children from child sexual abuse, implementation of existing policies is weak. Financial, human, and material resource constraints are frequently cited to explain limited prevention activity. Effective strategies for the prevention of child sexual abuse should focus on implementing existing legislation, targeting schoolchildren, and getting community involvement. A dedicated budget would help entrench these strategies, but gains can be achieved even in the absence of this.     

Neighborhood poverty and children’s exposure to danger: Examining gender differences in impacts of the Moving to Opportunity experiment

The Moving to Opportunity (MTO) program offered public housing residents in distressed communities a chance to move to low-poverty neighborhoods. The present study examined whether the resulting decline in neighborhood poverty led to lower levels of exposure to danger among children and youth ages 8-19 years old (n = 4606), and specifically, if there was a gender difference that matched the pattern of more beneficial program effects for girls and more adverse affects for boys. The study goes beyond previous research by using fixed effects to control for family factors that may influence moving behavior and confound estimates of gender differences in program impacts. Results showed that children experienced a decline in exposure to danger, with one key gender difference. Models based on brother-sister comparisons indicated that MTO had a more beneficial impact on exposure to drug activity for females than males. The findings suggest that neighborhood poverty is tied to children’s exposure to danger. Moreover, exposure to drug activity may help explain the gender differences in impacts on children’s mental health and risky behavior.     

三峡库区农村生活垃圾现状调查及处理对策分析——以垫江县长大村为例

针对目前我国农村生活垃圾污染生态环境和危害人畜健康的问题,以重庆市垫江县桂溪镇长大村为例,实地调查了村民生活垃圾排放处理现状,并结合当前国内农村生活垃圾处理处置基本模式和当地县城垃圾清运处理方式,提出了“统一收运,集中处理”、“分类收集,分别处理”、“就地减量,定期清运”3种防治处理方案。通过对收运处理量、收运处理成本、填埋库容、资源化、减量化、村民接受程度、政府投入等7个方面的比较,最终确定“就地减量,定期清运”这种方案最有利于农村生活垃圾的管理。
