An overview of evidence-based program registers (EBPRs) for behavioral health

Evaluations of behavioral health interventions have identified many that are potentially effective. However, clinicians and other decision makers typically lack the time and ability to effectively search and synthesize the relevant research literature. In response to this opportunity, and to increasing policy and funding pressures for the use of evidence-based practices, a number of “what works” websites have emerged to assist decision makers in selecting interventions with the highest probability of benefit. However, these registers as a whole are not well understood. This article, which represents phase one of a concurrent mixed methods study, presents a review of the scopes, structures, dissemination strategies, uses, and challenges faced by evidence-based registers in the behavioral health disciplines. The major findings of this study show that in general, registers of evidence-based practices are able, to a degree, to identify the most effective practices meet this need to a degree. However, much needs to be done to improve the ability of the registers to fully realize their purpose.     

渊源与价值:我国传统残疾人社会保障的历史反思

传统残疾人社会保障有着丰富的思想渊源,而各家学说于此亦存在共通之处.历朝历代也基于这些思想颁行了一系列涉残的政策和措施,包括国家收养、减免赋役、实物救助和量能授事.这些思想和做法既有其契合时代价值的一面,具有先进性、国家主导性和基础性,但受制于时代和阶级的局限,亦有其缺失权利本位性、人格独立性和法制性的不足.而构建现代残疾人社会保障制度,必须秉据史务实之态度,科学甄别和评估其价值,在延续制度的历史惯性之基础上实现制度的革故鼎新.     

The concept of family: Perspectives of Spanish young people in foster care

This article employs concepts from family sociology to explore how ‘family’ is conceptualised in 14 life narratives of young people in foster care in Spain. The article draws on a multi-method approach with young people who are in long-term non-kinship foster care. Seven girls and seven boys aged 10 to 22 took part in the study. The empirical material reveals an interplay between biological preference and foster family affective practices in young people's narratives, illuminating a struggle to make sense of the concept of family in foster care. Most of the participants understand family as shared affective practices sustained through love, commitment, consistent care and reciprocity rather than blood ties. Some show a preference for biological connectivity, while others describe family as determined by rituals and family displays. The key practice implications highlight the importance helping young people positioning themselves in birth family relationships, and supporting their sense of family belonging.     

数据资产证券化探索的法律困境与解决路径

数据已成为推动经济发展的核心驱动力,盘活数据资产价值、促进数据资产运用是当前推进数据要素市场化配置、全面建设数字中国的主要目标。由于数据价值实现进程中受到资金与技术投入的制约,数据潜能释放面临瓶颈。在此背景下,数据资产证券化作为数据资产与证券融资结合的创新业态,能够为企业激活数据资产价值拓展融资渠道、降低融资成本,所以,一经提出便备受关注并持续传递新动向。目前,这一证券新模式正处于初步探索阶段,有必要基于数据资源化到数据资产化再至数据资本化的三重价值演进形态,释明其价值实现的内在理路,即是历经初始生成数据资源到加工获取数据资产再到实现数据资产证券化的动态实践,体现了数据要素价值增值的“变现”之路。在此动态进程中,数据要素的独特属性使得数据资产证券化区别于传统资产证券化,呈现出与新兴科技尤其是区块链技术的深度联系,其技术原生特性有助于促进证券全流程的数字化重塑。通过检视当前“数据+资本”双要素耦合的证券新模式发展现状,发现数据资产证券化探索存在产权规范不明、交易机制缺失、监督管理失配等诸多问题,成为激活数据资产价值的掣肘因素。鉴于此,立足兼顾金融创新与风险防控的二元目标,应从法律与技术协...     

学术话语的交融与交锋

“话语”是一个在社会科学领域中广泛使用的术语,其含义非常丰富。这不仅表现为其含义在不同学科中有所区别,也表现为同一学科中不同学者对其定义不同。文章讨论“话语”的这些不同含义,并在“批评话语分析”对“话语”的定义基础上,讨论其与“话语体系”的联系,并从话语体系的角度对“学术话语交流”进行解读,将学术话语之间的交流理解为话语的“交融”与“交锋”。文章以此为出发点,进一步探讨学术话语交融和交锋的机制和策略。      

Analysis and Implications of Retraction Period and Coauthorship of Fraudulent Publications

Studies have indicated that the number and frequency of fraudulent publications being retracted are not subsiding even with greater awareness of such incidents in the recent decades. In this study, the trends of retraction period, number of citations and coauthors of 5 selected researchers who had ≥ 15 fraudulent publications retracted were analyzed. The obtained results shows that the retraction period is 48.96 ± 32.16 months for the 113 publications affiliated to the 5 studied researchers. There are a total of 180 coauthors with 6.40 ± 3.26 coauthors per researcher's retracted publication. The linear regression analysis indicates that there is limited correlation (R² = .008) between the citation counts and retraction period. The p value for multiple F-tests to assess the number of coauthors to a fraudulent publication on an interresearcher basis is found to be ranging from < .001 to .458. It is also found that a better correlation (R² = .592) exists between the likelihood of a researcher to involve different individuals for isolated fraudulent publications while only selecting very few to be their frequent coauthors of their mischievous acts. With this study, the possible use of coauthors as a strategy for publishing fraudulent work and a potential approach to tighten coauthorship are discussed.     

The contingent nature of best practices in national competitiveness: The case of American and Japanese innovation processes

We propose that the differences in competitiveness of companies from different countries is not just a question of the adoption of ‘better’ management models, as conventional wisdom would have us believe; rather, we contend that national competitiveness can change radically over time without significant changes in management practices. Contrary to much of the management literature we hold that changes in the global business environment often determine to a large degree the competitiveness of companies. Based on our assumptions we offer four specific lessons of how companies can increase their competitiveness within the constraints of the socio-cultural context in which they operate.     

委托代理视角下杭州市民间组织参与居家养老服务的实践研究

民间组织参与居家养老服务是一种具有多层级特征的间接委托代理模式。针对各地普遍面临的委托代理问题,杭州市近年来探索形成了"以老年人需求为本、政府主导、社区协助、民间组织具体运作"的居家养老服务模式。该模式实践中的创新主要体现在地方政府职能角色定位、老年人权利强化、民间组织功能激发等方面。优化民间组织参与居家养老服务实践尚需进一步采取强化对地方政府和民间组织的激励和向老年人增权等措施。     

The Symptom of Insomnia in University Students

Abstract

The treatment of insomnia in a university health setting is discussed. Transient, stress-related insomnia is distinguished from chronic insomnia, and methods of treatment for each condition are presented. The causes of chronic insomnia include depression, conditioned-arousal insomnia, anxiety, chronic overwork or stress, the Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, and abuse of alcohol and drugs. The author reviews medications used for the treatment of insomnia, emphasizing the importance of communicating to the patient that medication use is to be short term and that the aim of treatment is to restore the ability to sleep without drugs. A list of suggestions designed to help patients encourage normal sleep is included.     

The Japanese Touch

ABSTRACT

Touch, as it is conventionally conceived, appears to be lacking in everyday Japanese intimate relationships. Here, the “touching spaces” between Japanese people are explored, challenging assumptions about closeness and intimacy. Based on ethnographic research conducted in Japan, this review suggests that “finite” conceptions of touch, body, and subjectivity limit our understanding of experiences of closeness in a Japanese cultural context. Instead, how the space between people is inhabited, and the feelings in this space, seems much more significant. In sum, Japanese experiences of touch, particularly in a familial context, should best be seen as a tangible and sensuous connection that is not just felt in the body. Focusing on two body practices, this review explores the connection and embodied experience of closeness in the Japanese family vis-à-vis co-bathing and co-sleeping. It ends with a summary of the design of these sites of intimacy and some ways in which communication and bonding can be enhanced.
