Social reproduction in Sicily’s agricultural sector: migration status and context of reception

This article illuminates the social reproductive experiences of migrants labouring in Sicily’s (Italy) greenhouses. Current global transformations in agricultural production are intersecting with longstanding local economic and social realities, as well as with the 2007 Global Financial Crisis and EU enlargement, to make migrants, male and female, indispensable to a sector resorting to intensified informality in pursuit of flexible and cheap workers. Understanding social reproductive experiences as configured by migrant status and context of reception, the article includes analysis of interview and observational data with two nationalities of migrants – Tunisians and Romanians – occupying different positions in Italy’s migration regime. The article concludes that the harsh context of reception posed by labour market conditions, alongside a familialistic Italian welfare regime, largely precludes opportunities for proximate social reproduction for Tunisians and Romanians. In response, migrants develop transnational resilience strategies resting on cross-border actions combining market-, family-, community and State-based practices, to navigate the social reproductive challenges encountered. Such strategies, however, are less feasible for irregular migrants whose socio-legal position exposes them to the most exploitative working arrangements, denies them access to State welfare and renders them immobile. Moreover, for some regular migrants, such transnational resilience strategies are not their strategies of choice.     

族群住房配额制：各民族互嵌式社区建设的新加坡实践与启示

作为一项公共政策,族群住房配额制主要被那些不仅将族群隔离居住视为贫困问题更视为一系列社会问题的国家所采用。新加坡作为少有的公开采用这一政策的国家,有其自身特殊的历史原因,其具体政策内容也主要基于新加坡具体国情而自成特色。尽管其政策效果颇有争议,中国的国情与新加坡也大不相同,但新加坡的实践也启示我国,在各民族互嵌式社区建设过程中,抓住当前城市化进程中大量保障房建设的重要契机,科学合理规划公共住房,以增量改革为策略,秉持多元一体理念,完善相关政策体系,形成政策合力,不失为明智之举。     

块数据背景下西藏城市社区的多元立体治理路径

块数据,正深刻地改变着人们的生产生活方式。在特定空间范围内,基于块数据对人、事、物所在的各行业或领域的海量数据融合,逐渐被应用到城市社区治理中。西藏自治区作为我国重要的安全屏障,基层社区的安全稳定关系到整体国家安全。立足当前西藏城市社区构建的“三级平台、四级管理”网格化治理平台,西藏自治区城市社区施行了基于空间地理、社会个体、政府、企业块数据融合的多元化、立体化治理。     

韩国残疾人社会服务现状及进展

韩国残疾人总数约为251万,他们既享有普惠性社会保障政策,也享有残疾人特惠性社会保障政策。特惠性社会保障政策由经济支持、医疗支持、教育支持、就业支持和社会服务提供等政策构成。残疾人社会服务宏观层面主要考察服务制度,包括住宅机构、社区康复机构、职业康复机构、凭单制度等,虽然服务制度从20世纪的保护模式中心漸变为自立生活与残疾人为中心模式,但保护模式、社区培训模式和以残疾人为中心模式共存。

Factors affecting rural women's utilisation of continuum of care services in remote or isolated villages or Pakistan – A mixed-methods study

IntroductionAn effective continuum of care for pregnancy and childbirth connects women and girls with essential reproductive and maternity care services. This study aimed to estimate the continuum of care utilisation rate of women who lived in remote and isolated regions of Pakistan and explored factors that influence women's utilisation of reproductive and maternity care services.MethodsA mixed-methods study was conducted in five rural villages of Sindh, Pakistan. A cross-sectional survey with 669 women who gave birth between July 2010 and September 2014 investigated women's maternity-care service utilisation during pregnancy, childbirth, and in the postpartum period. In-depth interviews with 15 women explored their maternity-care experiences with health providers.ResultsOnly 6.4% of 669 women participants reported to have completed the continuum of care for their last pregnancy. Skilled birth attendants, including health professionals, were used by 56.1% for antenatal care, 40.8% for both antenatal and childbirth, 22.3% for antenatal, childbirth and postnatal, and only 6.4% reported using all pregnancy-related and postpartum services. Limited knowledge about affordable health services, poor health literacy, and access to health services was associated with women's fragmented utilisation of maternity care. A lack of respectful maternity-care was also identified as a major barrier to women's utilisation of primary health care facilities, especially for childbirth.ConclusionThe existing primary health structure in Pakistan provides a good foundation to deliver continuity of care services; however, health services utilisation for reproductive and maternity care remains suboptimal in women who live in geographically remote regions of Pakistan.

语境理论研究对语言教学的启示

语言理论发展经过结构主义———功能主义———交际理论三个发展时期,各个理论对语境的理解是不同的。结构主义的局限性之一就是它没有充分认识到语境在理解语言过程中的重要性。功能主义在强调语言功能与语境意义的同时,却忽视了形式的作用。交际理论既重视语言功能又重视语言形式。为了培养学生的交际能力,教师需要具备新的教学理念。     

边缘治理:城市化进程中的城郊村社区治理——以浙江省T村社区为个案

浙江省T村社区是一个介于城乡之间的城郊村,在城市化进程中,村社区治理呈现出明显的边缘性特征:治理体制的双轨化、治理范围的村落化、组织结构的两栖化、组织职能的叠合化。城郊村社区治理的的边缘化是多种因素影响的结果,其中最为重要的原因是:城乡二元性社会体制的制约、城郊村社区城市化制度的供给不足、城郊村社区的现实需求。     

冗余话语的表现形式

本文主要从信息的复现和信息的蕴涵两个方面探讨了冗余话语在言辞语境中的表现形式,并指出其相应的功能。在谈论信息复现的表现形式时,指出某些形式相同的话语由于其信息内涵的不同,在定义时应该区别于一般的冗余话语。
