Suicide,Religion, and Latinos: A Macrolevel Study of U.S. Latino Suicide Rates

Since the publication of Durkheim's Suicide more than a century ago, researchers have been examining the relationship between religion and suicide, and race/ethnicity and suicide. However, no study has examined how religion influences U.S. Latino suicide rates. This study fills a gap in the literature by applying three competing theses to the study of Latino suicide. Results show that (1) religious contextual variables significantly affect Latino suicide rates, (2) U.S.‐born Latinos benefit from religious communities, regardless of denomination or measurement used, and (3) foreign‐born Latinos only benefit from Catholic adherents and homogeneity.     

Mindful of the Intersession Break in Family Therapy: The Time to Think Experiment

The Time to Think Experiment researches the experience of clinicians, consumers, and families of an intersession break, which has been used historically in various models of family therapy training. This qualitative pilot study explores the experiences of 21 clinicians, 19 consumers, and six family members using this break for reflection, across the domains of family and couple therapy, individual therapy, group work, and supervision in a mental health service covering the whole age range. Using a phenomenological design, the analysis included narrative, thematic, content, and comparative techniques. The paper considers the impact of privileging reflection in the therapy process, in a climate where models, work cultures, and general lifestyles may not encourage it. Using the intersession break to create space to ‘be’ in the therapy process is one way to integrate mindful and family therapy practice. The emerging themes of an intersession break to promote a richer and deeper therapy experience, and the apparent shift of responsibility for change from clinicians to consumers is discussed.     

Occupational Engagement and Academic Major Satisfaction: Vocational Identity's Mediating Role

This study examined vocational identity as a mediator of the relationship between occupational engagement (i.e., participation in a breadth of activities and interactions) and academic major satisfaction. Furthermore, the authors evaluated whether satisfaction with academic major related to academic success (i.e., grade point average). The mediational model was tested in a sample of undergraduate students (N = 215). Results indicated that occupational engagement significantly predicted academic major satisfaction and that vocational identity fully mediated that relationship. These findings support occupational engagement as an important contributor to adaptive career decision making and encourage research on occupational engagement as an intervention point for career counselors.     

应用型本科艺术设计人才培养“底线”与“顶线”的思考 ——以徐州工程学院为例

在我国积极推进高校“应用型”本科院校改革与建设的过程中,科学发展观是决定其成败的关键问题。而建立科学发展 观的前提是理清高校日常教学工作与教育内容所依据和参考的标准——“底线”与“顶线”问题。而在以徐州工程学院艺术设 计专业为代表的“应用型”学科的发展过程中,由于院校间的差异,存在着制度和内容各不相同的“底线”与“顶线”问题。为此, 在应用型本科艺术设计专业办学过程中理清两条线各自的定位与标准,对于科学推进应用型高校本科层次艺术设计专业的教 育教学改革,提升应用型艺术设计人才培养水平有着十分重要的作用。     

论司法中的程序公正

司法公正包括实体公正和程序公正两个方面,其中程序公正是司法公正的核心。罗尔斯将程序正义区分为纯粹的程序正义、完善的程序正义和不完善的程序正义三种类型。根据罗尔斯的程序正义理论,程序公正可以被视为纯粹的程序正义。程序公正的衡量标准包括法官中立、当事人平等、程序公开、司法效率这四方面的基本原则。     

核技术应用企业研发骨干激励机制探究

核技术应用一般是指射线技术与射线装置在医疗、工农业、地质调查、研究与教育中的应用。我国核技术应用企业研发骨干激励存在着激励的创新导向不足、薪酬激励机制不合理、组织文化有欠缺等问题,需结合行业特点及核技术应用企业研发骨干激励的特殊要求,采取相应的激励对策,包括从核心能力出发研究激励问题、建立适于激励研发人员的能力工资制、注重职业发展激励、注重责任激励、建立激发创新活力的组织文化等。     

河南城镇化进程中的犯罪问题研究

河南省城镇化实施中心城市带动战略,对犯罪形势变化将产生深刻的影响:犯罪率将呈现先升后降最终稳定的态势;流动人口犯罪、青少年犯罪、女性犯罪、职务犯罪等将会激增;各种类型犯罪在短期内都会大量增加;一些社会管理控制相对薄弱的"边缘地带"有可能成为犯罪孳生地。河南省应实行综合治理的犯罪防控战略。     

明清两代的公罪与私罪制度

中国古代将官吏犯罪区分为公罪和私罪,其目的是为了维护吏治的清明。明清两代的律、例、令、会典等条文中就有对公罪和私罪的相应规定。本文从明清两代的公罪与私罪的基本概念、具体规定、实际运行和影响因素四个方面对这一制度进行深入分析,以期对之有更加全面的认识。

司法工作人员参与无身份者实施真正身份犯的共犯成立类型研究

根据共犯处罚的根据论中的修正惹起说,以及对实行行为的实质理解,在司法工作人员参与无身份者实施以司法工作人员身分作为构成要素的真正身份犯时,司法工作人员只能构成间接正犯,而不能构成教唆犯。而无身份者只能构成帮助犯,不能构成实行犯。
