Using a Stakeholder Participatory Model in a Community-Wide Service Needs Assessment of Elderly Residents

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses a collaborative approach to a community-wide needs assessment in a county in Ohio. A neighborhood service provider for elderly residents in the community initiated the research project. To promote ownership in the evaluation process and to conserve resources, the evaluators used a stakeholder participatory approach. This effort not only resulted in increased cooperation among all parties involved (stakeholders, evaluators, community agencies), but culminated in the acceptance and utilization of controversial findings.     

Inter‐professional working in child protection with families with long‐term and complex needs

Within the United Kingdom there is growing awareness of the need to identify and support the small number of children who are living in families experiencing multiple problems. Research indicates that adverse experiences in childhood can result in poor outcomes in adulthood in terms of lack of employment, poorer physical and mental health and increases in social problems experienced. It is acknowledged that most of these children are known to child welfare professionals and that some are referred to social services, subsequently entering the child protection system. This paper reports research conducted with 28 experienced child welfare professionals. It explores their views about families known to the child protection system with long‐term and complex needs in relation to the characteristics of children and their families; the process of intervention with families; and the effects of organisational arrangements on practice. The research indicates that these families are characterised by the range and depth of the problems experienced by the adults, such as domestic violence, mental health difficulties and substance misuse problems, and the need for professionals to have good inter‐personal skills and access to specialist therapeutic services if families are to be supported to address their problems.

动画艺术中的"假"与观众的心理认同

本文从观众心理角度分析了动画艺术夸张和想象表现的基础。观众认同动画既是一种商品也担负着传达人类情感与思想的媒体作用，动画是一种不以符合客观现实与否为主要衡量标准的艺术，追求的是一种心理真实。观众对动画的心理需求主要表现在寄托与释放、体验与享受、模仿与学习、追寻与憧憬、反省与哲思这几个方向。     

企业创新的执行过程研究

创新不是时髦的口号,创新重在切实地执行,而执行重在目标分解与层层落实。目前,从理论层面来讨论创新者居多,结合企业实际,从创新的执行层面讨论则相对较少。从企业创新执行角度,将创新的理念作为一个目标,分解为可执行的流程:企业分析—创新分析—创新需求评估—确定创新需求—企业创新制度设计—控制文档—企业创新制度执行—企业创新制度监控、反馈与有效性评估—识别和修正缺陷—流程和结果固化—持续执行。通过以上流程将创新融入企业,执行、固化并持续。     

邓小平理论的构成范畴及其逻辑关系探析

依据马克思总结和运用的科学理论研究方法 ,可以发现 ,邓小平理论的起点范畴是“人民需要” ,主体范畴是“发展生产力” ,终点范畴是“共同富裕”。邓小平理论就是以这三个主要范畴构成的完备的科学体系     

设计领域多元化审美产生的必然性与进步性

整个社会认知的多元化使当代人的审美需求也趋于多元化,当代社会的多元化、个性化使得当代人不再局限于单一的审美观念,这就造成了现代设计没有单一的衡量标准,创造空间更加广阔。认清多元化审美需求产生的必然性和进步性,把握时代对设计艺术的多元化的审美需求,在设计中更好地体现当代人的审美理念,是适应时代需求要解决的主要问题。

构建管理学理论范式的经济学方法评析

构建管理学理论范式可以运用多元化研究范式。研究者不仅需要考虑组织层面的角度,而且还应从经济学角度之外的心理认知、社会、政治、法律等多角度进行考察和研究,研究范式的转换为管理学的发展提供了方法论的基础。     

Explorative study into support needs of caregivers in short-term foster care regarding problem behaviour and dealing with biological parents

Family supporting foster care (FSFC) is a directly accessible, short-term and preventive form of foster care for children under the age of 12. Caregivers in this type of foster care need comprehensive support to deal with their complex tasks. In this contribution, the support needs arising from the behaviour of the foster child as well as concerning dealing with the biological parents of 85 Flemish FSFC-parents are examined, as these are areas FSFC-parents specifically ask support for. These support needs are evaluated for possible links with child and foster parent characteristics. More experienced foster parents and foster parents with a foster child showing more externalising problem behaviour ask for more support in managing the child's behaviour.     

MBA商务英语需求分析——一项基于安徽某高校的调查

因为安徽工商管理学院与其他高校在商务英语的开设对象、课时分配、开课学期、在学校人才培养方案中所处地位等方面均存在明显的差异,所以学界有关需要分析方面的研究成果很难直接推广至安徽工商管理学院.本调查结果表明:由于主观需求和客观需求之间以及主观需求与学习需求之间均存在着差异,因此,虽然受试英语基础比较单薄,但他们学习商务英语的兴趣却比较浓厚;虽然商务英语在受试单位使用的机会比较少,但受试单位对员工商务英语水平的要求却比较高,虽然学界一般认为受试对教学方法、教学手段、教材使用、考核方式等方面持有消极看法,但是本次调查结果与此相悖.
