Attitudes and Behaviors of Social Work Students Toward Lesbian and Gay Male Clients

Abstract

Since the requirement of the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) to integrate theoretical and practice content about the oppression of gay and lesbian persons into the curriculum, few studies have assessed the effectiveness of various methods of incorporating the content. This paper reports the results of a study examining the effects of a panel presentation on social work students' attitudes, their anticipated professional practice, and the relationship between their attitudes and anticipated professional behavior. It also compares the results from the panel presentation with the results from other intervention methods. Results indicated that the panel presentation had little influence on the attitudes or anticipated professional behavior of students. Intervention methods integrated into the classroom setting influenced the attitudes and anticipated professional behavior of students significantly more than the panel presentation.     

浅析视知觉理论在产品设计中的应用

Sensuous (Re)Collections: The Sight and Taste of Socialism at Grūtas Statue Park,Lithuania

ABSTRACT

The present paper is about Grūtas, a Lithuanian park—museum featuring recuperated Soviet-era artifacts. This museum is examined as a locus of public memory where the nation's socialist history is invoked through visual representations (recovered statuary) and by implicating the sense of taste (“Soviet” drinks and dishes served at the museum's café). The paper suggests that seeing the Socialist past at Grūtas activates memories of trauma and loss, while tasting that past summons up more nostalgic reminiscences. It is further argued that this museum constitutes a visual and gustatory critique of Lithuania's increasingly commodified and “modernized” present. It is also proposed that collective memory in today's Eastern Europe affords a productive ethnographic site in which to investigate the ongoing systemic transformations in the aftermath of communist rule.     

Regimes of Vision and Products of Color

ABSTRACT

This article argues in favor of opening up media studies and visual studies to a new line of sensory inquiry—namely, embracing color as a powerful and pertinent mode of communication. It probes the contemporary state of color products and/or products of color through three interconnected categories (that is, color as expression of identity or quality; color as mark of individuality and color as cosmetic) to reveal not only the complex interplay between “signature” and “shock” hues, but also the implications for color codification—and for color communication as a whole.

“Playthings of the Brain”: Phantom Visions in Charles Bonnet Syndrome

Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) is a condition of the visually impaired, in which hallucinations – or, more appropriately, visions – of geometric patterns, people, and objects appear within the visual field. Most people with CBS are older adults, a function of increased likelihood of visual deterioration in later life, but the condition can occur at any age. Diagnostic criteria vary among professions, but generally includes awareness that the visions are not real, the absence of other accompanying sensory hallucinations, and the absence of dementia or other neurological condition. The mechanism by which the phenomenon occurs is not well understood, although some speculation exists that it is akin to phantom limb syndrome. Although there has recently been increasing awareness about the condition, many in the fields of medicine, optometry, and social work have not heard of it. As front-line providers for clients, it is important that social workers be well informed about the condition to alleviate anxiety our clients may have about expressing their experiences with the condition.     

利用陆地卫星TM像片调查黄土高原土地资源的可行性

选择8个试验样区,进行了利用1:10万陆地卫星TM像片调查黄土高原土地资源的可行性研究。结果表明,与从1:2万彩色红外航片上解译的地类比较,从1:1O万陆地卫星TM像片上解译的大部分地类的相对判对率达90%以上,相对面积精度在84%以上。结论是利用1:10万陆地卫星TM像片在黄土高原调查土地资源要求精度为80％以上时,是可行的。     

新闻摄影与报业竞争

作为一种重要的独立新闻手段,新闻摄影具有表现形式上的突出优势,但是这种个性特点并没有使新闻摄影自然地获得在报纸媒体的应有地位和表现空间,这一点在过去的中国报业中表现得非常明显。近几年来,报业竞争的日益加剧,以受众为本位的媒体服务意识的流行以及视觉文化的全面兴起,唤醒了新闻图片的主角意识,新闻摄影逐渐成为报业赢取受众、赢得竞争的一种重要手段。新闻摄影和处于竞争中的报业在“读图”时代的宏观背景中展现出前所未有的个性特点与互动关系。     

“输入、输出”论与视听说教学

视听说教学亦是一个输入与输出的过程,视听是语言的输入过程,而说用是语言的输出过程,二者关系密切,相互依赖,相互促进。其教学模式可分为三个步骤,即：呈现;控制操练和活用语言。
