Art for integration: political rationalities and technologies of governmentalisation in the city of Malmö

Cities increasingly use artistic and cultural activities to promote active citizenship and social cohesion. We suggest that city-sponsored cultural and artistic practices in Sweden are finding a new discursive context in migration. In this article, we look at two artistic and cultural institutions in Malmö, Sweden: Arena 305 and Drömmarnas hus. We develop a typology of governmentalisation based on the work of Nicholas Rose and Peter Miller, which allows us to describe the governing activity of Arena 305 and Drömmarnas hus. What becomes visible is the discrepancy between the moral form of the political rationalities and the technologies of government: even though institutions may harbour ideals and principles of inclusion, they are perfectly capable of sustaining activities that brighten the very boundaries they set out to challenge.

Dementia Special Care Units

Abstract

Despite continued interest and growth in special care units in the United States, there is no uniform agreement on characteristics for these units, specific outcomes, or satisfaction with them. This study examined family satisfaction with Dementia Special Care Units (SCUs) using a modified standardized instrument and follow-up interviews. The study included five SCUs in one state, three participating in a dementia SCU demonstration project. Family outcomes were evaluated using surveys and interviews. The only significant difference between facilities in the demonstration project and the comparison facilities was one variable noting family with residents in the demonstration project had more positive perceptions regarding resident safety. The study illustrates a need for policy makers to more clearly identify and regulate special aspects of SCUs, taking family perceptions into consideration.     

Water Adherence Factors for Human Skin

On incidental dermal exposure to chemicals in water, a key exposure factor is the amount of water adhering to skin. Although soil adherence factors have been developed for risk assessment, measurements of water adherence on human skin have not been described. In the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) dermal risk assessment guidance, dermal dose from environmental exposures is based upon the flux rate across the skin, which assumes that an unlimited amount of chemical is available for absorption. This assumption is applicable to certain exposure scenarios such as swimming and bathing. However, exposures to contaminated water frequently involve scenarios where the available chemical is limited by the amount of water adhering to the skin, for example, during accidental splashes. We conducted studies in human volunteers to investigate water adherence per unit area of skin after brief contact with water. In two sets of experiments, either water was applied with a micropipette to 10‐cm² areas of the lower leg, foot, and hand, or the foot and hand were briefly immersed in water. In males, using a micropipette, water adherence ranged from 1.93 (foot) to 7.13 μL/cm² (lower leg). In females, it ranged from 1.10 (lower leg) to 4.83 μL/cm² (hand). Hand and foot immersion resulted in relatively higher values of 6.89 and 5.17 μL/cm², respectively, in males, and 5.40 and 6.39 μL/cm² in females. Water adherence was affected by amount of body hair and type of exposure. Water adherence factors can be used to calculate the applied dose per unit area for exposures involving intermittent water contact.     

论新闻计算句子长短的句子标准

新闻语体的句子应该比其他语体的句子短，这是由新闻的易读性决定的。但是目前的一些新闻语言研究中，统计出的句子比其他语体的句子还要长几倍。一些新闻语言研究中同时以单句和复句为单位。单句和复句在语法结构上不是同一层级的语言单位，同时作为计算单位，是违反逻辑的。语法系统中，小句是基本的句子，是传递信息的基本单位。新闻语言研究中也应以小句为计算单位。     

意识形态与组织凝聚力

探讨组织凝聚力的问题，是一个许多人都在议论但又缺乏新意的问题，但它是一个实践中的急迫问题。自20世纪80年代以后，中国社会中的单位组织发生了根本性的变化。单位成员的离心力增大，许多单位整体的凝聚力和活力较少。培养一个单位的好风气，是形成单位凝聚力和活力的主要途径。形成单位凝聚力不能仅仅限于制度建设和所谓文化建设，而应立足于政治思想教育工作。政治思想教育是一项意识形态很强的社会实践活动，因而更清晰地反映了政治统治的直接需要。形成单位凝聚力的关键是认清单位风气与意识形态的联系。     

危重病性多发性周围神经病与肌病的临床及肌电图探讨

目的探讨危重病性多发性神经病与肌病的临床、电生理特点。方法对6例危重病性多发性神经病与肌病患者的临床资料、肌电图结果进行分析。结果患者均因严重感染等基础疾病转入ICU,均进行气管插管呼吸机辅助呼吸,6例患者均出现四肢基本对称的肌力下降、感觉异常及腱反射减弱。肌电图结果示四肢周围神经的运动及感觉复合电位波幅明显下降或引不出,4例患者同时合并肌病样改变。结论危重病性多发性神经病与肌病是重症患者气管插管呼吸机辅助呼吸后常见的并发症,电生理检查有助于本病的诊断,早期认识及治疗本病与预后关系很大。     

Maybe We Should Just Shut Up: The Body as an Important Consideration for Group Work Practice

ABSTRACT

This article explores the role of the human body as an important consideration for group work. It discusses six concepts related to how the body can be paid attention to and utilized within the realm of practice. These concepts include the idea of the body as related to the sense of self; physical experience as metaphor; the body as a barometer of group experience; shared physical experience and group cohesion; physical experiences and behavior; and the notion of somatic intelligence and communication. Examples of each are discussed from the lens of the author's practice.     

RESEARCH NOTE Some evidence against the assumption that approval of family planning is associated with frequency of spouses' discussion of the subject

Much previous work on the relationship between respondent's reported frequency of discussion with spouse about family planning and correctness of reporting spouse's approval of family planning has led to the conclusion that discussion promotes approval. In this paper, data from the 1998 Kenya Demographic and Health Surveys are used to show that a focus on the relationship between frequency of discussion and correctness of reporting partner's disapproval of family planning leads to sceptical conclusions about the effects of discussion in improving knowledge of partner's attitude or in promoting approval.
