Talking Yiddish at the boundaries

This essay uses the contemporary urban consumption practice of speciality coffee as a means to explore the complex ways in which global brands seek to enhance the promotional currency of their products through the mobilizing of local ‘commodity biographies’. It begins by outlining the place-specific strategies of promotion employed by speciality coffee retailers such as Starbucks and the Seattle Coffee Company, examining the range of ways in which Seattle as centre of US ‘coffee culture’ was deployed as the locus of ‘origin’ in order to create lucrative distinctions between speciality coffee and homogenized, mass-market coffee products. It then places this symbolic geography of coffee within the long history of coffee as a global commodity, tracing the recent emergence of speciality coffee as a ‘niche’ product, and situating it in the context of restructuring urban economies geared towards service-sector, consumption-oriented activities. The essay then moves on to consider the difficulties encountered by Starbucks, the market leader in speciality coffee, in monitoring and manipulating the symbolic geographies of its coffee commodities as they migrated from the coffee shop and into other realms of representation. In particular it explores the issue of Starbucks’ product placement in the a number of motion pictures in the 1990s, arguing that such placements were embraced by the company as an opportunity to defuse criticism of the company's activities that amplified as the decade evolved. Finally, the essay looks at the high profile targeting of Starbucks coffee shops by protestors at the anti-globalization protests that accompanied the hosting of the 1999 WTO Ministerial Conference Meeting in Seattle, arguing that this moment can be seen to capture much of the complexity of mobilizing circumscribed place-specific ‘commodity biographies’ for a global product in an era characterized by increased scrutiny of the international division of labour.

师资问题是西部农村地区教育发展滞后的一个关键因素.西部农村地区的师资存在的问题主要有:教师数量少,教师结构不合理,教师教学能力不高以及教师教学观念落后.已有的解决西部农村地区师资问题的对策存在着不足.解决西部农村地区师资问题的现状,不能仅靠对已有师资的"输血",要把"输血"与"造血"相结合,即实行"顶岗实习"的对策,这是解决西部农村地区师资问题的有效的新策略."顶岗实习"把西部农村师资问题与师范生培养问题做了一体化的整合.     

Risk Factors and Intervention Programs for Depression in Nursing Home Residents: Nursing Home Staff Interview Findings

The in-depth qualitative interviews with 25 nursing home staff members were done to examine (a) their perceptions and experiences of risk factors for residents' depression, (b) current depression intervention programs, and (c) specific needs for staff training. The interviewees identified the residents' sense of loss and grief and feelings of isolation and loneliness as the causes of their depression and in-house activities and contract mental health services as current services aimed at reducing depression. They also pointed out the following barriers to providing effective depression interventions: too much dependence on antidepressant medication, low Medicaid reimbursement rate, staff shortage, residents' attitudes, and nursing home culture. The types of training that the staff members desired were: skills to monitor nonverbal signs and changes and to systematically screen different types of depression; education about antidepressants and their effects, side effects, and interaction effects with other medication; and systematic training in different types of psychosocial and behavioral interventions for late-life depression in residents with various levels of physical disabilities and cognitive impairments.     

Developmental,Familial, and Peer Deterrents to Adoption Placement

ABSTRACT

This article focuses on the developmental, familial and peer deterrents that form barriers to adoption placement among teen mothers in a residential facility. An Eriksonian developmental model is used to explore developmental issues of identity, projective identification, and industry among teens. The findings suggest that family “cutoffs” and “re-admissions” also serve as deterrents to adoption placement. Additionally, peer pressure from residents of the facility form barriers to adoption placement. Teen mothers express how they were deterred from adoption placement and constrained into child-rearing as pregnancy resolution strategies. This qualitative study gives family therapy interventions as suggestions to facilitate adoption placement through addressing the constraints teen mothers face.     

Findings from a UK Based Study of Late Permanent Placements

ABSTRACT

This prospective, UK based adoption study examined the first year of placement of 61 boys and girls who joined permanent unrelated families during middle childhood. Most of the children had experienced abuse, neglect and discontinuity in their lives prior to this placement. The psycho-social functioning of the children and the development of family relationships were assessed by means of in-depth interviews with the new parents. High levels of behaviour problems were found in the children initially. About a third of the children showed a diminution of problems after placement, the remainder showed little change or a deterioration. At the end of the first year, 72% of the surviving placements were considered stable. An active rejection by birth parents stood out as a particular risk to placement stability, especially when accompanied by over active behaviour and where new parents had difficulty in maintaining warmth and sensitivity in their responses to the child in the early months of placement.     

“I Was Tooken”

ABSTRACT

Little is known of how children experience removal from parents and placement into foster care. This paper presents results of a qualitative study of the experiences of 90 inner-city children, ages 8-14 years. Children's narratives portray a progression of traumatizing events ensuing from the placement process. The narrative from a wellhandled placement suggests guidelines for future interventions. Developmental and practice implications are discussed.

高等教育职员管理的改革与发展趋势——基于胜任力的研究

职业素质是影响组织效能的重要方面,加强对高等教育职员的素质和工作行为研究,对我国高校改革具有重要的现实意义。目前高等教育的职员管理存在标准模糊、技术手段落后和缺乏系统性等问题,致使职员的专业化发展目标基本落空。基于胜任力开发的管理,着重于"行为绩效"的考核,可以实现职员素质研究、评价研究和队伍建设的三个更新,因此是适合高校职员工作特征的管理方式。职员胜任力研究的发展趋势主要包括:加强模型开发手段的研究,建立通用模型的目标,开展与绩效关联的探索,构建职员管理体系等。
