Working With LGBT Baby Boomers and Older Adults: Factors That Signal a Welcoming Service Environment

Many providers recognize the importance of creating culturally competent services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults. Although multiple resources list steps to make professional practices more LGBT-welcoming, these resources provide no empirical data to support their recommendations. LGBT older adults (N = 327) were asked to describe what signals that a provider is LGBT-welcoming. Six of the top 10 signals related to provider behavior and suggest the importance of staff training; the balance included display of signage and rainbow flags, use of inclusive language on forms and the presence of LGBT-identified staff. Results provide evidence-based recommendations for working with LGBT older adults.     

The Probable Impact of Proposed Legislative and Budgetary Changes on the Lives of the Elderly and Their Families

The decade of the 1980s is characterized by economic uncertainty and political ambiguity regarding the direction of American public policy for the elderly. The purpose of this paper is to: (1) review demographic trends that particularly affect older adults; (2) summarize theReagan Administration's proposed cutbacks in programs and policies for the elderly; and (3) address the effects of these cuts on older individuals as well as on family systems across generations. It is our contention that the proposed budget cuts will seriously reduce a number of federal programs which have been developed to meet the needs of older adults. The impact of these cuts will be felt by all of the elderly and to a considerable extent, their families. However, the effects will be most severe for people who have poverty or near-poverty incomes, single women, and the "frail" elderly. The discussion suggests that these proposed budget cuts seem to reflect a lack of appreciation and recognition of both needs of the older individuals and those of their families. In addition, suggestions for program and policy directions, as well as further research are addressed.     

New Classification of Research Misconduct from the Viewpoint of Truth,Trust, and Risk

ABSTRACT

Fabrication, Falsification and Plagiarism (FFP) and Questionable Research Practice (QRP) have been used worldwide in the classification of research misconduct. However, FFP comprises two distinct categories of misconduct: FF is extreme research misconduct that betrays truth, while P undermines trust of science community. Irreproducibility and inadequate practice of research also betray trust. Research misconduct has the potential to cause serious risk of safety in daily life. The proposed classification system is outlined as follows: Class I misconduct: Betrayal of the truth: (1) Fabrication and (2) Falsification. Class II misconduct: Betrayal of trust: (1) Plagiarism of text ; Irreproducibility; and (3) Inadequate research practice. Class III misconduct: Risk to safety of health and industrial products: (1) Risk to safety of health and (2) Risk to safety of industrial products. The proposed classification reflects deeper values of truth, trust, and risk more directly than the previous classification and elucidates issues about nature and significance of misconduct.     

伦理人生的义理与实践——梁漱溟在现代新儒家阵营中的特色与贡献

现代新儒家阵营中,梁漱溟是将理论与实践、道德与制度、人生安顿问题与社会现实熔铸一炉、双向并建的极少数思想家之一。他的思想特色与贡献在于以下三个方面:第一,通过自己独特的生命体悟,倡导"孔子之真",抉发孔子的生命智慧,从而使儒家伦理之真精神得以彰显;第二,敏锐地意识到如果没有规矩制度或道德规范的制约作用,道德生活也就难以实现;第三,指出现代化的鹄的不仅仅是为了富强,更主要的是为了安顿人的生命。梁漱溟立足于中国特有的伦理人生精神来寻求中国的出路并安顿中国人的人生这一思考方向,将在21世纪乃至未来的中国及世界越来越凸显其意义。

实践导向管理研究评价的基本问题探讨——兼论由“出路与展望:直面中国管理实践”引发的学术争鸣

对《出路与展望》一文引起的学术争鸣进行评论,探讨实践导向管理研究评价的基本问题。实践导向管理研究包括发现管理新知的科学基础研究和解决问题的实践应用研究2个基本范畴,其主要特点应当是实践的指向性、过程的科学性、结果的实效性和成果的创新性。2种实践导向管理研究的评价目标定位虽然存在一定差异,但均可以通过形式评价、内容评价和效用评价的不同指标及其权重设置进行合理评价。当然,要规范这类研究的评价还要做好对评价主体的遴选、监督和激励的评价主体管理。     

化解管理理论与实践脱节的两种模式:串联型关联与并联型关联

理论与实践的关系应该是既分离,又关联的,典型的关联模式有串联型关联和并联型关联2种.当前管理学界的很多研究成果不属于这2种关联模式的任一种,它们属于管理理论与实践脱节.根据管理学的学科属性和发展阶段判断,未来可以借鉴或借助这2种关联模式,化解或缓解管理理论与实践脱节问题.
