Childhood depression and spirituality: Insights for spiritually sensitive child-centred social work interventions

Based on a one-year longitudinal study of 1,769 children from schools across countries diagnosed with depressive symptoms, this randomized, controlled, trial-based research has investigated the influences and impact on childhood depression of two kinds of spiritual programs, customized and open-ended. Results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test showed that children had lower scores on depression scales and higher scores on the happiness scale post-intervention. Results of the logistic regression analysis and structural equation models specifically highlighted that boys, Christians, children from the middle class, and those who underwent the customized spiritual program were more likely to exhibit lower depressive symptoms and greater happiness, post-intervention. The implications of these findings for social work with depressed children have been discussed.     

Reflections on engaging with an advisory network in the context of a ‘sensitive’ research study

This article surfaces issues about the often-used but widely under-reported practice of working with advisory fora. We critically reflect on our experiences working with an advisory network when co-designing a research study about a ‘sensitive’ subject. We discuss the following: 1) How the network evolved as a matter of ethical and pragmatic choices; 2) Potential issues when discussing sensitive issues ‘outside’ of the participatory or participant context; and 3) Practical and epistemic issues involved in (not) ‘taking’ advice. We suggest that although sensitive research is more conventionally aligned with more ‘radical’ forms of participatory practice, advisory networks can present a useful and sometimes more appropriate form of inclusion and engagement for some advisors and for some types of research study. The article should, therefore, be of interest to a wide range of academic and practice-based health and social care staff and, in particular, those who plan to use advisory fora in their work.

Combining answers to direct and indirect questions: An implementation of Kuk’s randomized response model

Abstract

In this article, we propose a two folded approach for estimation of the population proportion of a sensitive attribute. The rationale of proposed technique is to give respondents choice if they want to avail randomized device or not. Thus, our technique is inherently capable of entertaining the responses attained through direct questioning and by employing randomization device, as well. We believe that free to choose policy will be helpful to develop a curtsy between interviewer and respondent (which is highly desirable, especially when sensitive issue is under consideration) and thus enhances the survey reliability. The proposed technique is developed for simple random sampling, at first, and then extended to stratified random sampling. The superior performance of proposed technique in comparison to the Kuk (1990 Kuk, A. Y. 1990. Asking sensitive questions indirectly. Biometrika 77 (2):436–8. doi:10.1093/biomet/77.2.436.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) method is demonstrated throughout this article. We provide algebraic, graphical and numerical evidences in support of our proposed technique. Furthermore, we also offer cost analysis considering most commonly used cost functions in the literature of survey research.

Respondent hazards in the unrelated question randomized response model

The randomized response technique is a method of interviewing which allows estimation of population proportion or mean of a sensitive characteristic while maintaining anonymity of response. This is accomplished by use of two questions in the interview, one sensitive and one not so, with the respondent applying a random device to determine which question to answer. The statistician knows the parameters of the random device but is kept from knowledge of individual outcomes. When the nonsensitive question bears on a matter quite foreign to the sensitive characteristic, it is termed an unrelated question, and the associated technique carries that designation. Critical in the construction of such a model are the assigned probability p that the respondent will select the sensitive question and the proportion Π_y of the population having the unrelated nonsensitive characteristic. The choice of these parameters is discussed herein with reference to the risks perceived by respondents.

Assessing attitudes of college students toward cross-cultural relationships: Implications for social work practice,research, and education

Higher education in America is a major social institution and an incubator of intellectual thought, holding an important and transformative place in the public domain, but it has also been implicated in the perpetuation of inequality, and the feeding of racial animus. The research question guiding this quantitative study explored predictors of college students’ perceptions of interracial relationships, which led to the querying of factors likely to impact social distance regarding interracial relationships at a mid-sized, diverse, rural university in the south. Two instruments were utilized to test the variables; the Bogardus Social Distance scale and the Social Dominance Orientation scale. The findings indicate statistical significance among two of the three variables examined, when controlling for socioeconomic and demographic variables; positive interracial experiences (p = < .002) and, greater amounts of interracial social contact (p = < .046) predict lower social distances regarding interracial relationships. Implications for higher education involve greater efforts toward social inclusion, increased cultural sensitivity, and an acknowledgment of the current and past structural and systemic inequities that have hindered positive race relations, and a vow to rectify those.     

灰霉病菌对苯丙咪唑类杀菌剂的抗药性监测及抗性生理的研究

对灰霉病菌232个菌株进行多菌灵抗药性测定,发现每类作物上采集的同一种类灰霉病菌其敏感菌的Ec50差异不大,草莓、果树、蔬菜、花卉上采集的灰霉病菌已对多菌灵产生了严重的抗药性,抗性频率很高。灰霉病菌对多菌灵产生抗药性后,对苯丙咪唑类的其它成员都产生抗药性,而与速克灵无交互抗药性。抗性菌株在有药情况下,呼吸强度降低很少,而敏感菌株的呼吸则受到强烈抑制。
