试论残障社会模式的认识误区及其实践性陷阱

在综观近些年来障碍研究的基础上,本文聚焦于障碍社会模式的社会学批判,通过考察被矮化的社会模式,试图揭示当下对社会模式存在的几类误读,并深入分析社会模式是否存在内在局限性的问题。在此基础上,笔者指出在损伤与障碍之间通常存在二元对立的具体原因。在具体分析这些原因时,笔者从私人经验与政治的、公共领域的冲突视角出发,认为可洞察到在满足个体残障者需求、保障残障者群体的权益之间面临着一系列困境,并提出对障碍研究的实践性有必要进行再反思。     

Career Counseling in Japan: Today and in the Future

The number of young people who postpone their career decision is increasing in Japan, as is the high unemployment rate. In companies, on the other hand, the traditional seniority system and lifetime employment, which once provided job security for corporate employees, began to collapse. Employees' work ethics and corporate attitudes toward workers have also changed. Under such circumstances, career counseling is the focus of public attention. In this article written in 1999, the author examines some problems in Japan's career counseling, compared with career counseling in the U.S., and discusses which course Japan's career counseling should take to cope with dramatic social changes.     

Fertility schedules ofunaspis yanonensis (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in relation to daily temperature

Summary Fertility schedules ofUnaspis yanonensis on citrus leaves were investigated from 1962 to 1971 for the first generation and from 1964 to 1971 for the second generation, at the Okitsu Branch of the Fruit Tree Research Station in Shizuoka Prefecture. The fertility curves were commonly characterized by a first major peak and a few subsequent minor peaks, although their shapes differed from year to year. Models estimating these fertility curves of each generation were constructed in relation to the fluctuations in average daily temperature, on the assumption that the curve was composed of two peaks, i.e., bimodal. Estimated curves were well fitted to observed ones. Contribution B-173, Fruit Tree Res. Stn.
