Home as a risk environment: Negotiating the boundaries of homes and social relationships in services for people using illicit drugs

This study focuses on how clients using illicit drugs are supported in managing the boundaries of their homes to avoid the risks that social relationships may have on their daily lives at home. The data consist of 14 client–worker encounters audio-recorded in 2017 in a Finnish home-based service for people using drugs. Discursive interaction analysis and geographies of home were applied to examine how boundaries of homes are negotiated in relation to social relationships and how the home is constructed as a risk environment in the interactions of the service. The results highlight that the tensions between home and social relationships can be complex in the context of illicit drug use. Managing the boundaries of the home and social relationships deserves special attention among welfare services to promote their client's right to privacy and attachment to a home environment. This is also important for preventing the risk of homelessness.     

Beyond survival: Strengthening community-based support for parents receiving a family service intervention

This paper presents parents' experiences of community support and their recommendations for how their communities, and the services within them, might support their families. Generated through a human-centred design methodology and using a desire-centred framework, the findings suggest that parents receiving a family service require support invoking feelings of intimacy, trust, reciprocity, inclusivity, connection and belonging. Parents' recommendations for community support include addressing material and attitudinal constraints impacting on engagement with services; creating non-judgmental services tailored to their needs but accessed as a last resort; and creating peer-based opportunities to support each other. Parents reflect that moving beyond basic survival of risk and vulnerability to a position where thriving is possible requires purposeful integration of parent's existing and desired community into service interventions. Facilitating deliberate change at the intersection of community and service support is pertinent to current and future social work policy and practice. Wider opportunities for understanding and enabling the needs and aspirations of parents, which are often overlooked because of a focus on addressing risk and vulnerability, are considered.     

公用企业社会责任论纲——基于法学的维度

探讨企业社会责任应避免道德化.公用企业作为一种特殊类型的企业,具有特殊的社会地位.公用企业特殊的社会地位决定了公用企业要承担不同于一般商事企业所应当承担的特殊类型的社会责任.公用企业特殊社会义务有必要视经济发展的不同阶段与水平适时地转化为法律上的强制义务、倡导性和任意性要求,通过与企业内生自律和外源性助动实施路径形成相应的制度合力,从而使公用企业更好地承担其社会责任.

公共文化服务的兴起及其发展取向

我国社会由“生存型”向“发展型”的转型、政府由“管制型”向“服务型”的转变,以及“以人为本”的文化战略意识的确立等,为公共文化服务的发展提供了有利的环境条件。在社会全面转型及构建和谐社会的新时期,全面推进具有全民性和健康文化价值导向性的公益性文化发展是必然的选择。而明确公共文化服务发展的目标方向,是坚持文化秩序建构的社会主义方向的逻辑前提。     

Regulation of Personal Social Services – The Israeli Experience

The current article explores the aspects of regulatory policy in the field of personal social services. In Israel, the government sets standards, and finances and oversees personal social services, while the services themselves are provided primarily by non‐governmental organizations. Based on a qualitative study we examined two questions. First, what characterizes the implementation of regulatory mechanisms in the field of personal social services in Israel? Second, how can we explain the outcomes of regulation in the personal social services in Israel? In a unique approach, we used the institutional analysis and development (IAD) framework to explore the regulatory practices implemented in community residences and hostels for people with intellectual disabilities and in after school programmes. The findings revealed that although there were implementation gaps in both cases, the IAD might improve our understanding of the nature and magnitude of these gaps. Furthermore, the insights gained may have implications for policymakers in their development of regulatory policy.

以网购环境为背景,运用物流服务理论与系统动力学理论,通过对快递物流服务的流程分析,构建网购快递物流服务系统测评体系,对此体系和物流服务质量这一主变量分别进行了因果关系分析,进而构建了物流服务质量下的配送及时率这一附属变量的系统动力学枝模型,并对模型进行了量纲化检验、敏感性检验以及极端条件测试以证明模型的正确性;在此基础上,将申通、圆通、中通以及韵达四家快递企业的数据运用到Vensim软件对枝模型进行实证仿真并得出以此变量为根据的快递企业排名,为网购快递物流服务的测评提供一种新的方法。     

论中印两国要素积累对服务贸易比较优势的影响

本文比较了中印两国服务贸易比较优势和贸易模式的差异,并在HO理论的基础上,就中印两国要素积累对服务贸易出口增长的影响作了时间序列分析,发现两国服务贸易比较优势的来源不同:前者来源于其丰裕的劳动力,而后者来源于人力资本。上述分析为中印两国服务贸易部门存在的比较优势差异提供了一个基于要素因素的解释,并得出人力资本的快速积累能够为一国增强现代服务贸易部门的比较优势提供有利条件的结论。
