How Effective are Helpers to Older Adults’ Life Satisfaction?

The effectiveness of help received from home care workers and volunteers to the life satisfaction of community-dwelling older adults is vital but uncharted. To address the effectiveness, this study aims to optimize the use of social resources for the older adults’ life quality. The study thus surveyed 398 community-dwelling older adults in a city of China about the help and life satisfaction. Results showed a significant positive effect of help from home care workers, but not that from volunteers, on the older adult’s life satisfaction. Moreover, the effect of help from volunteers was significantly greater when the older adult had higher education or lower family income. These effects are explicable with resource theory and need fulfillment theory. They imply the worth of promoting help from home care workers generally and volunteers conditionally to champion older adults’ life satisfaction.     

New Technology in Home Help Services — A Tool for Support or an Instrument of Subordination?

The implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) is in line with a general transformation of the work of home help services in Sweden. One strong motivation behind the introduction of new technology was to change the ways of working towards greater efficiency in order to reduce costs and at the same time raise the value of care‐giving work. This article discusses the introduction of ICT in home help services as a part of the increasing rationalization of care‐giving work and its consequences for the workers. The results of an ethnographic study of the introduction of hand‐held computers in a working team in home help services in Sweden shows that the motives for the implementation of ICT run counter to the basic norms that are supposed to govern care‐giving work. The technology participates in reproducing the subordinate position of care‐giving work as well as that of the front‐line workers. The workers act according to personal decision‐making ability and show a form of limited resistance to the technology while, at the same time, taking part in their own subordination.     

网络直播平台帮助犯罪行为的处罚边界

划定网络直播平台帮助犯罪行为的刑事责任形态和刑事责任边界,应当转变一刀切、等同化的认知模式,采取类型化、个别化的处置模式.依据网络直播平台帮助犯罪行为的积极性、主动性程度,可以将其帮助犯罪的行为划分为对犯罪行为的单纯不作为帮助、对犯罪行为经责令改正后仍不作为帮助、对犯罪行为的作为帮助三种类型.在此基础上,才能进一步澄清网络直播平台帮助犯罪行为的刑事责任形态与具体边界.虽然,在刑事责任形态上,网络直播平台单纯不作为帮助行为应当承担所帮助犯罪的共犯责任;经责令改正后仍不作为的帮助行为,应当承担拒不履行信息网络安全管理义务罪的正犯责任;网络直播平台作为帮助行为,原则上应当承担帮助信息网络犯罪活动罪的正犯责任,例外的应承担所帮助犯罪的共犯责任.但是,在刑事责任追究上,如果网络直播平台的单纯不作为帮助行为成立中性业务行为的,经责令改正后仍不作为帮助行为在正常运营上缺乏义务履行可能性或者在技术上缺乏结果回避可能性的,以及作为帮助行为符合不追诉条件的,应当阻却对网络直播平台的刑法处罚.     

完善现行证人出庭作证制度的思考

随着审判方式改革的不断深化，证人在诉讼中的地位和作用更突显出重要。然而，证人作证难问题却长期以来一直困扰着我国的立法和司法部门，制约着新的庭审方式效能的充分发挥。因此，正确认识证人出庭作证的必要性，客观分析证人出庭作证难的原因，努力探究证人出庭作证制度完善的措施，解决证人拒证问题具有十分重要的现实意义。     

视频分享网站间接侵权责任研究

在网络传播过程中,视频内容的不合法性是视频分享网站网络产业发展的瓶颈,因视频作品多为网络用户上传,所以其间接侵权责任的认定则是推动网络服务经济发展的关键。视频分享网站法律主体地位的特殊性决定了其间接侵权的认定。视频分享网站属于网络平台服务提供者,存在着“二次销售”的现象,因此其间接侵权行为可以分为帮助侵权和替代侵权。帮助侵权中的过错认定关键在于明确其注意义务;而替代侵权认定中的“直接经济利益”则是指通过从网络直接侵权行为中实际获得的单独费用或其所增加的费用。     

戴表元诗学思想的"穷"、"游"之论

在诗歌的发生这一问题上,戴表元认为“穷”与“游”是最重要的两个契机。而戴表元之所以会产生这样的诗学思想,正是他立足于宋末元初这一特定的时代背景下,结合自己的人生遭际及诗歌创作道路,对当时诗坛深深思考的结果。     

对流民的救济与安置:宋朝社会控制的实践途径

因饥荒引发的流民问题 ,从历史上看 ,宋朝并非是最典型的。但是 ,对流民的救济与安置方面 ,宋朝的实践却是颇富成效的。举凡对流民的临时收容、长期安置、遣返回乡、恢复生产等方面 ,都有较为得当的措施应对。从实际效果看 ,宋朝的经济性流民问题之所以不是特别严重 ,是与宋朝政府适当的救济安置措施分不开的。从功能上看 ,对流民的救济与安置 ,是宋朝社会控制的重要实践途径。两宋三百年间 ,没有出现大规模的农民起义 ,颇富成效的社会救济应该是一个重要原因。

从公私辩证看我国社会主义改革

二元对立的公私观往往强调斗争性而忽视统一性,并且往往走向＂公一元＂和＂私一元＂两个极端,违背公私辩证统一规律,应当摒弃。动态辩证的公私观强调公与私是动态的、辩证的、统一的,主张公与私的角色是可以转换的,公是私的整合,私是公的分解,倡导活私开公、公私共济。动态辩证的公私观应当成为我国社会主义新改革基本遵循的原则。     

Giving,Saving, Spending: What Would Children Do with £1 Million?

This article explores children's responses to a single question: ‘If someone gave you £1 million today, what would you do with it?’ Although such an exploration might seem trivial, we argue that their responses provide important insights into children's values and priorities. One‐third intend to spend it all, one quarter to save it. But the largest group claim that they would give all or some of the money away. Their responses highlight the divergent ways in which children use money to foster particular forms of social relations and social standing. Against the prevalent discourse of consumer society, the dominant theme of giving may indicate that the individualism of neoliberalism is less pervasive than is often feared, but also suggest that further research is needed into the social contexts and processes which encourage children to be ‘givers’, ‘savers’ or ‘spenders’.
