Enhancing the capacity of kin caregivers and their families to meet the needs of children left behind

Based on qualitative research of the experiences of 23 kin caregivers and five school personnel, this article explores the role of informal kinship care in addressing the needs of school-age children left behind in rural China. The findings of this study suggest that kin caregivers' child-rearing capacity is limited in the rural context, and they are often overwhelmed by children's diverse and complex needs, particularly their emotional ones. In view of the huge population and their vulnerability, it is imperative for the state to take up its responsibilities and develop specific social work services and other support for children left behind and their families.     

新官场小说家笔下的另类成长小说——《权力场》 《欲望之路》 《机关的滋味》评析

上世纪90年代以后,出现了以晋原平《权力场》、王大进《欲望之路》、汪宛夫《机关的滋味》为代表的“另类成长小说”,小说通过主人公在城市和权力路上的人生追求、青春的幻灭和躁动,情爱与婚姻的官场捷径、失败与沦落的悲剧宿命,表现了某些身在官场的知识青年追求权力、又被权力作弄的必然性,对当今知识青年的价值选择与人生追求具有重要的警示作用.

”Attachment to Home” and Other Factors Related to Widows' Relocation Decisions

Widowhood has been identified as a stage of life when older persons are more apt to voluntarily relocate. Theoretically there is an "environmental press" to move brought about by circumstances and the inappropriateness fo single-family dwellings after the death of spouse. A number of indentified factors were hypothesized to influence recent widows' relocation. Following initial interviews with 221 older respondents, those who actually moved during a 2-year period were re-interviewed. Results indicated that "attachment-to-home" factors and family proximity were the best indicators of widows' staying in or moving from their homes. Movers and stayers are contrasted, and movers' situations before and after relocation are analyzed.

丙烷与R22混合工质可燃性分析及相关实验方法研究

本文以节能和保护臭氧层为目标,研究以自然生产物丙烷(R290)替代R22的实际应用问题.对丙烷的可燃性进行了研究,探讨在丙烷中加入少量非可燃物以降低其可燃性,并在丙烷中按不同比例加入R22进行可燃性试验,结果表明R22可部分抑制丙烷的可燃性.     

Overall Successful Aging: Its Factorial Structure and Predictive Factors

As the concept of successful ageing (SA) tends to take different meanings among researchers, there is a lack of consensus on how to measure SA. In order to address this gap, the present study aims to explore the factor structure of SA involving SA indicators presented in the literature. Using Americans' Changing Lives study (ACL), a second-order confirmatory factor analysis on factors constituting an overall SA measure and a SEM regression model to examine the predictive factors of the overall SA measure were estimated. A second-order confirmatory factor model including three latent constructs of SA – Physical Domain (diseases, functional health, and physical activity), Mental Domain (depression, self-efficacy, and cognitive impairment), and Social Domain (formal social integration, informal social integration, and social support) – fits the data properly. The findings of a SEM regression model replicates the findings of previous SA research, suggesting the overall SA latent construct is a valid measure for SA.     

替代医学——健康医疗的新理念

基于破坏病因和切除病变组织的基本思路,现代医学对许多疑难病症仍无解决办法;而西药的毒副作用已经造成人类身体内环境的严重污染;现代先进医疗仪器和器具、药品、手术费价格昂贵,医疗费成了国家、社会保险业及个人的沉重负担。由于精神免疫学的进步,使人们对于注重精神与身体统一调节的整体医学有了新的认识,发掘西医以外的不同文明和地域的特色传统医疗,强调调动人类自身对疾病的抵抗力和免疫功能,创造人与自然和谐共处的环境是人类健康的基本保证。在此基础上西方发达国家提出替代医疗和补充医疗的概念,在这个新兴医疗体系中对东方传统中医针灸按摩气功有崇高评价,并投入大量资金进行研究和科学评估。呼吁充分重视祖国传统医学的宝贵遗产,是解决民众“看病难看病贵”的重要途径之一。     

A New Direction for Library Technical Services: Using Metadata Skills to Improve User Accessibility

Abstract

An increased awareness about the importance of resource accessibility for all library users has set the stage for transforming traditional cataloger roles into a new realm of possibility. The Acquisitions & Discovery (A&D) and the User Experience (UX) departments of North Carolina State University Libraries have formed a partnership to explore the benefits of working together amidst this climate of innovation and change. A pilot project was created to develop a workflow through which technical services staff can use their metadata skills to help resolve accessibility issues found on the Libraries’ main website. By performing this work, staff can grow in technical expertise, enhance the quality of metadata in web content, and build mutually beneficial partnerships within the library community.
