The Experience of Trauma Recovery: A Qualitative Study of Participants in the Women Recovering from Abuse Program (WRAP)

ABSTRACT

The efficacy of intensive group treatment programs for child maltreatment has been established. The aim of this qualitative study was to understand how women with a history of child maltreatment experienced the Women Recovering from Abuse Program (WRAP), an existing intensive group treatment program. Seven women were interviewed following their participation in WRAP. Three themes emerged: Breaking Trauma-Based Patterns, Doing Therapy, and The Healing Journey as a Continuous Process. These findings deepen our understanding about how participants view the recovery process. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.     

Extreme Risk Analysis of Interdependent Economic and Infrastructure Sectors

Willful attacks or natural disasters pose extreme risks to sectors of the economy. An extreme-event analysis extension is proposed for the Inoperability Input-Output Model (IIM) and the Dynamic IIM (DIIM), which are analytical methodologies for assessing the propagated consequences of initial disruptions to a set of sectors. The article discusses two major risk categories that the economy typically experiences following extreme events: (i) significant changes in consumption patterns due to lingering public fear and (ii) adjustments to the production outputs of the interdependent economic sectors that are necessary to match prevailing consumption levels during the recovery period. Probability distributions associated with changes in the consumption of directly affected sectors are generated based on trends, forecasts, and expert evidence to assess the expected losses of the economy. Analytical formulations are derived to quantify the extreme risks associated with a set of initially affected sectors. In addition, Monte Carlo simulation is used to handle the more complex calculations required for a larger set of sectors and general types of probability distributions. A two-sector example is provided at the end of the article to illustrate the proposed extreme risk model formulations.     

关于我国《侵权责任法》中用人单位责任制度的思考

我国《侵权责任法》34条统一规定了用人单位的替代责任的概念和内容,却没有规定承担替代责任之后的追偿权利和追偿方式。现实生活中这个问题确实是普遍存在,法律不规定,当事人也要想办法解决。用人单位可用三种方式来解决此问题,即双方约定、单位规定和购买社会保险。另外,我国的用人单位责任与国外常说的雇主责任亦具有很大的相同性。     

Recovery Processes in a Treatment Program for Women

ABSTRACT

Recovery processes of 32 women were explored in six focus groups following completion of treatment in a community based women-specific substance abuse group program. Grounded theory analysis yielded an over-arching theme of Building a House of Recovery and several sub-themes describing women's perceptions of the processes that were central to their recovery.

用于饮料超高温杀菌的空压机热能回收系统设计

针对空压机使用过程中大部分能量被浪费的情况，提出了将空压机热能回收用于UHT杀菌系统中料液预热的 方案，设计了一种空压机热能回收系统。该热能回收系统采用热交换器和保温管道实现了空压机与UHT杀菌系统的联 接，并利用水进行循环。空压机的热能通过热交换器进行回收，并经过保温管道输送到饮料UHT杀菌系统处，再利用热 交换器用于饮料料液UHT杀菌的预热过程。经过实际改造应用和计算，该热能回收系统每天可减少能耗9 500 kW．h， 节约蒸气15 t，每年可节省开支93.4万元。研究结果表明，该空压机热能回收系统具有很好的实用价值和显著的经济 效益。     

主管支持感、组织氛围对服务补救绩效的影响

理论界认为服务补救是服务企业提高顾客满意度和忠诚度的重要手段,但对如何提升服务补救绩效却鲜有探讨.文章基于服务补救绩效的组织内部影响因素,分析了主管支持感、组织氛围与服务补救绩效的关系,运用问卷调查和结构方程模型进行了实证检验.研究发现:当员工需要用服务补救来缓解其服务失误时,员工的主管支持感不能直接提升服务补救绩效,组织氛围在主管支持感与服务补救绩效的关系中发挥完全中介作用,主动沟通和宽容、相互鼓励是组织氛围发挥效应的两个重要方面.服务企业的部门主管应支持员工主动沟通和交流,营造一个宽容且相互鼓励的氛围,提高服务补救绩效.     

Rolling with the shakes: an insight into teenagers’ perceptions of recovery after the Canterbury earthquakes

Natural disasters are harmful worldwide events that inflict multiple psychosocial impacts on disaster-exposed individuals. A significant proportion of affected individuals are teenagers (13–18 years old) who, compared with adults, have been historically overlooked in disaster research. The literature is particularly sparse concerning teenagers’ recovery from natural disasters, specifically what recovery means to them and the contributing factors towards their positive recovery. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to gain deeper insight into this largely unexplored area by conducting five focus groups with teenagers (16–18 years) who experienced at least one of the Canterbury, New Zealand, earthquakes since and including the initial September 2010 earthquake. This study directly asked teenagers about their recovery over the three years after the initial earthquakes, with data being analysed using thematic analysis. Two main themes were identified: (1) perceptions of recovery, with three sub-themes (i) knowledge and being less frightened, (ii) talking about the earthquakes and (iii) shift in perspectives; and (2) contributing factors to recovery, with three sub-themes (i) participation in the community response, (ii) returning to school and (iii) the rebuild of Christchurch. These factors provide insight into how we can better support the recovery process for disaster-exposed teenagers to reduce long-term distress.
