李白卒年新论

李白的卒年,依据李阳冰、范传正所记的李白生年和李华所记的李白享年即可确定为大历元年。从曾巩到王琦,对此提出了异议。但他们所提出的依据没有一条是信实可靠的,包括他们认作铁证的《为宋中丞自荐表》,编在至德二载也是不可靠的。要正确地确定李白的卒年,还是要回到李阳冰、范传正和李华那里去。     

唐宋书法观念研究

唐代、宋代的书法观念是中国古代封建社会书法观念的典型代表,二者之间又有颇为明显的异同之处。正如常人所说的＂唐书法＂就是说唐代书法对于字体规范、风格法度有着严密的内在要求,其实由于科举进仕的需要以及宋人文化素养的普通提升,宋代文人对＂法＂也有着自觉地遵循。同时,在宋代还大量出现了＂游与艺＂、＂以书为乐＂等更为轻松的书法观念。     

国外保障出版自由立法研究

《公民权益和政治权利国际公约》对出版自由以国际公约的形式对各缔国加以约束,不同社会制度、不同文化传统、不同发展阶段的国家的宪法或其他法律,对出版自由一般都有明文的规定。研究世界各国法律、法规对于出版自由的规定,可以对我国出版自由立法形成有益的借鉴,同时紧跟国际形势,推进我国的出版贸易。     

新时期我国价格波动的主要影响因素及发展趋势

十一五期间我国主要价格指数均呈现出较快上升后快速回落的特点,但与上世纪八九十年代相比,我国价格波动趋于平缓,价格波动的影响因素也在发生变化:农副产品和资源性产品价格对价格总水平的影响加大,国际传导因素日益突出。随着我国主要农产品、资源性产品对国际市场依赖程度的进一步提高,国际市场初级产品价格波动加剧,十二五我国价格水平将呈现前低后高,温和上涨的趋势。     

公元12世纪之前渭水上游生态环境演变初探

渭水上游地区历史上曾经山林川谷美,天材之利多,从而成为中华民族文明的发祥地之一。《资治通鉴》记载隋唐时期天下称富庶者莫如陇右。然而后来,由于自然因素的变化,特别是人类长期不科学的开发,以致山川顿失真面目,从而使该地区生态环境日趋恶化,灾害频发,经济社会发展也受到了严重制约,导致近代陇中疾苦甲天下景况的出现。揭示演变特点,反思历史,为我们保护环境实现科学发展提供珍贵的历史借鉴。

German family policy at the crossroads: analysing the impact of parental leave reform through simulation

Comparative studies of welfare reforms encounter two problems. First, the counterfactual problem is that in the real world schemes and their reforms do not coexist simultaneously and are hard to compare. Second, the contextual problem derives from the absence of comparable measures for change. Microsimulation helps to overcome these problems. It compares policy options – actual reforms or reform plans – simultaneously and provides a comparable measure: the disposable income of model families. This article uses a type–case approach to investigate recent reforms of the German parental leave benefit. Simulation makes those reforms comparable over time and across countries. Results show that the profile of the German scheme is changing from 'general family' towards 'dual-earner' support. Furthermore, the recent reforms make the German scheme converge towards the Swedish leave scheme. The recent reforms introduce a new concept of fairness and a focus on gender equality to German family policies.     

A longitudinal study of depressiveness in children in public care

Rajhvajn Bulat L. A longitudinal study of depressiveness in children in public care Int J Soc Welfare 2010: 19: 412–423 © 2009 The Author, Journal compilation © 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the International Journal of Social Welfare. The aim of this article is to analyse the challenges involved when making longitudinal observations of depressiveness in children raised in public care. The first measurement comprised 375 children from children's homes and foster families; however, most of the results are based on an analysis of the 139 children who participated in both parts of the research. We used the Child Depression Inventory and the anxiety/depression subscales of Youth Self Report and Child Behaviour Checklist as measures of depressiveness. The comparison of results from the first and second measurements showed that depressiveness in children in public care decreased over time. Children who grew up in children homes were, in the first measurement, more depressed than those living in foster families, but after five years that difference had disappeared. Furthermore, decrease in depressiveness is predominantly associated with less frequent delinquent, aggressive or hyperactive behaviour, less withdrawal and better control over uncomfortable emotions.     

Contractual audit and mental health rehabilitation: a study of formulating effectiveness in a Finnish supported housing unit

Saario S, Raitakari S. Contractual audit and mental health rehabilitation: a study of formulating effectiveness in a Finnish supported housing unit Int J Soc Welfare 2010: 19: 321–329 © 2010 The Author(s), Journal compilation © 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and International Journal of Social Welfare. Mental health NGOs in Western Europe are increasingly managed by contractual audit procedures. This article concerns how contractual audit and its emphasis on effectiveness of care impact on the practices of long‐term mental health rehabilitation. To demonstrate this, a case study of a Finnish NGO that provides supported housing is presented. The study looks at how service purchasing practices, as stated in the contract between the municipality and the NGO, are reflected in the meetings among practitioners. Documentary and meeting data were utilised together with Mitchell Dean's notion of technologies of agency. It was found that practitioners actively sought to show the effectiveness of their everyday work in terms of contractual audit by demonstrating both the economic and progressive aspects of care. Thus, professional competency in mental health rehabilitation appears to entail both the skills of care interventions and the ability to perform these interventions as efficient and financially accountable activities.
