Transporting attachment and biobehavioral catch-up to Norwegian child welfare services: A feasibility study

Transportation of evidence-based programs (EBPs) to a new cultural setting is often preferred over the comprehensive process of developing a new program. Intervention fidelity has been suggested as a predictor of successful transportation. The present study examined whether fidelity and parent behavior improved when implementing the U.S.-developed Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) intervention in Norwegian child welfare services (CWS). 11 child welfare workers received training and supervision to become ABC parent coaches. Fidelity was assessed through video-recordings of parent coaches' in vivo feedback at each home-visit session. Parent sensitive behavior was assessed using video-recordings of parent–child interactions, recorded before each ABC session. Mixed effects modeling showed that ABC fidelity increased over the course of training and supervision. Furthermore, parent behavior improved over the course of families' exposure to the intervention. These demonstrate that an EBP transported to a novel cultural setting can obtain promising levels of fidelity and intervention outcomes.

New Directions in child protection and family support in Western Australia: a policy initiative to re-focus child welfare practice

There is now considerable evidence from numerous countries that statutory child welfare agencies are being overwhelmed by a massive increase in child protection referrals which require investigation, while there has been a growing failure to develop preventive family support services. This paper describes the changes introduced in Western Australia to address this situation in what has come to be called New Directions in Child Protection and Family Support . The results demonstrate that the changes have led to a significant restructuring of the way the Department of Family and Children's Services there responds to concerns expressed about children. It is argued that this has had an impact on the proportion of child maltreatment cases which are substantiated and the way responses are prioritized and allocated, and has provided the Department with a more explicit and clearer focus for its work in a period of increasing demand and rapid change.     

Involvement With Past‐Union Children and Couple Childbearing Intentions

Parents with children from both past and current unions create complex stepfamilies. The author investigated the association of past‐union children with intentions for a second or third child in the current union of 1,739 couples in the United Kingdom Millennium Cohort Study. Both partners' reports of their own resident and nonresident past‐union children as well as fathers' reports of involvement with nonresident past‐union children create a comprehensive measurement of past‐union children. The analysis revealed that coresident past‐union children were more closely associated with childbearing intentions than were nonresident past‐union children and that weekly contact with nonresident children had a stronger link to intentions than did payments. These results suggest that the value of the past‐union children as siblings and the time commitment made to these children are particularly salient to parents' decisions about further childbearing in their current union.     

对中国文化传播理论体系的构建前瞻

西方超级媒体主导、控制了全球的传播格局,这既不利于世界正确地解读中国,也不利于中国正确地解读世界。误读与被误读造成东西方文化相互传播的碰撞。要改变不对称的东西方文化传播格局,中国需要提升软实力以谋求在全球传播体系中和平崛起。而对于文化传播持续发展的前瞻性及构建中国文化传播理论体系的探讨不能长期停留在自发状态,中国传媒应积极推动文化传播理论系统化的进程。     

实用思维与中国古代农业科技发展的困境——基于中西文化差异视角

重经世致用的现实主义思维,缺乏对科技的超前性与前瞻性限制了中国农业科技的发展.同时实用思维引发的"农本"经济的思维,是一种直觉思维方式,抑制了逻辑思维的发展,导致中国学科分类不足.古代中国的实用与"农本"思维使中国人注重田园生活,幻想与浪漫主义成份不足.这对科技发展是不利的.现代中国必须进一步发展基础学科研究,以促进农业科技的发展.

从西部突厥到西突厥汗国

西部突厥与西突厥汗国是两个不同概念。西部突厥乃突厥汗国下属西部地区的简称，自始就由木杆、室点密两大汗系组成，并非出自任何单一汗系。作为政权概念的西突厥汗国则是突厥汗国全面分裂、20年内战演变的最终结局。西突厥汗国的创始者并非出自室点密汗系的达头可汗或射匮可汗，木杆-阿波汗系的泥利可汗乃是西突厥汗国的创始者，仁寿三年（603）是西突厥建国的历史标志。
