The Family and Medical Leave Law

Abstract

This essay asks whether the Family and Medical Leave Law (1993) is feminist social policy, as it was touted to be by its political supporters. The study takes three approaches to feminism outlined by Lorber in her 2001 text, Gender Inequality: Feminist Theories and Politics, which considers women in their roles as mothers and workers. Data taken from a Department of Labor FMLA utilization study are then analyzed in the context of these three approaches to feminism. I conclude that the FMLA is not feminist in a substantive way despite its symbolic value.     

对荆州地区农村学校体育管理的研究

本文对荆州地区农村中小学体育管理的现状进行了问卷调查，结果表明：荆州地区农村中小学体育管理的现状出现两级分化的局面，地区差异性较大。一方面，大多数学校体育管理的组织领导体制是健全的，亦能行使其职能，各项体育常规管理工作也基本上能落实；但另一方面，还有相当一部分学校体育管理工作处于无序状态，学校的各项体育工作带有较大的盲目性和随意性。     

Computer Diffusion and Worker Empowerment

Abstract

Much anecdotal material describes various human impacts of computer adoption within the social work profession, however, there is scant research which confirms or challenges these assumptions. This article describes a study which investigates the diffusion of computers into the social work profession in terms of empowerment as an individual outcome for workers. A questionnaire returned by 520 social workers provided data on organizational computer diffusion, organizational centralization, and the Social Worker Empowerment Scale. Workers in organizations where computer diffusion was more advanced, and those in more decentralized decisionmaking environments were found to be more empowered.

Teachers' role in the primary prevention of child abuse dilemmas and problems

During the 1980s, many school-based primary prevention programmes were developed and adopted by schools. Much of the early enthusiasm which greeted these programmes dissipated in the light of often disappointing evaluations of the impact of the programmes on children. It is argued, however, that evaluating student outcomes should not occur before theextent of programme utilization is established. In this paper, an overview is given on the dilemmas and problems faced by teachers attempting to implement a primary prevention programme in South Australia. It is revealed that teachers selectively omit sections of the primary prevention programme as a way of resolving personal dilemmas presented by the programme. Some teachers are sensitive about teaching personal and controversial issues related to child abuse, while others deny the seriousness of child abuse in theirschool. The implications of the findings are that: (a) it cannot be assumed that primary prevention programmes are implemented by teachers in ways that are consistent with programme design; (b) teachers' personal beliefs, attitudes and feelings need to be addressed in any school-based primary prevention initiative; (c) training approaches and school support mechanisms need to focus on methods by which teachers can resolve the dilemmas raised by school-based primary prevention programmes in ways other than by radically dismembering the programme.     

妇女节烈旌表制度的衍变

妇女贞节旌表在春秋战国时代已见于记载,其后在秦汉、魏晋南北朝以及隋唐时期,贞节旌表制度不断发展,宋元时期妇女贞节旌表制度日趋完善.明清时期,旌表制度远比前代受到重视,节烈表彰有严格的程序,按涉及的行政级别可以分为中央和地方表彰,级别愈高,其程序和过程就愈复杂.明清时期,中央旌表的门槛不断降低,旌表对象的范围不断扩大,表明统治者在主观上利用贞节旌表来维护家庭乃至社会稳定的意识不断强化,但客观上旌表的功能却在不断弱化.明清除了中央朝廷的旌表之外,地方政府也提供次一级的表彰方式,其程序较为简单,是中央朝廷旌表的有力补充.     

Evaluating ICT Implementations within the Romanian Business Environment

The impact of Internet services in the economic field is huge and has generated new forms of performing typical activities in the new e-way: e-commerce,e-banking, and so on. The paper focuses on the impact of these electronic facilities and, more generally, of ICT (information and communication technology) facilities, upon the activity of some Romanian firms, mainly small and medium enterprises. We sustain our statements by administering and analyzing a questionnaire which enabled us to perform a quantitative and qualitative study in the field we concentrated on. We can generally conclude that Internet services and IT facilities emerge as a new and dynamic way of being profitable on the Romanian market and of building up the “global e-economy”.
