Our research examines union election activity in the non-hospital health care industry over a 12-year period and shows that
unions in this industry consistently win a greater percentage of their elections than their counterparts in either the hospital
segment of the industry or other industries. Furthermore, the results indicate that several factors, primarily organizational
characteristics, significantly affect the union victory rate. 相似文献

The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is a geological repository for disposal of U.S. defense transuranic radioactive waste. Built and operated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), it is located in the Permian age salt beds in southeastern New Mexico at a depth of 655 m. Performance assessment for the repository's compliance with the 10,000-year containment standards was completed in 1996 and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified in 1998 that the repository meets compliance with the EPA standards 40 CFR 191 and 40 CFR 194. The Environmental Evaluation Group (EEG) review of the DOE's application for certification identified a number of issues. These related to the scenarios, conceptual models, and values of the input parameters used in the calculations. It is expected that these issues will be addressed and resolved during the first 5-year recertification process that began with the first receipt of waste at WIPP on March 26, 1999, and scheduled to be completed in March 2004. 相似文献

Dynamic theories of family size preferences posit that they are not a fixed and stable goal but rather are akin to a moving target that changes within individuals over time. Nonetheless, in high-fertility contexts, changes in family size preferences tend to be attributed to low construct validity and measurement error instead of genuine revisions in preferences. To address the appropriateness of this incongruity, the present study examines evidence for the sequential model of fertility among a sample of young Malawian women living in a context of transitioning fertility. Using eight waves of closely spaced data and fixed-effects models, we find that these women frequently change their reported family size preferences and that these changes are often associated with changes in their relationship and reproductive circumstances. The predictability of change gives credence to the argument that ideal family size is a meaningful construct, even in this higher-fertility setting. Changes are not equally predictable across all women, however, and gamma regression results demonstrate that women for whom reproduction is a more distant goal change their fertility preferences in less-predictable ways. 相似文献

Using data from five waves of the Women’s Employment Survey (WES; 1997–2003), we examine the links between low-income mothers’
employment patterns and the emotional behavior and academic progress of their children. We find robust and substantively important
linkages between several different dimensions of mothers’ employment experiences and child outcomes. The pattern of results
is similar across empirical approaches—including ordinary least squares and child fixed-effect models, with and without an
extensive set of controls. Children exhibit fewer behavior problems when mothers work and experience job stability (relative
to children whose mothers do not work). In contrast, maternal work accompanied by job instability is associated with significantly
higher child behavior problems (relative to employment in a stable job). Children whose mothers work full-time and/or have
fluctuating work schedules also exhibit significantly higher levels of behavior problems. However, full-time work has negative
consequences for children only when it is in jobs that do not require cognitive skills. Such negative consequences are completely
offset when this work experience is in jobs that require the cognitive skills that lead to higher wage growth prospects. Finally,
fluctuating work schedules and full-time work in non-cognitively demanding jobs are each strongly associated with the probability
that the child will repeat a grade or be placed in special education. 相似文献

This article explores the evolving relationship between nationalism and identity formation as it is now facilitated on the internet. Particularly, it examines the implications of nationalist competition between the Uyghur diaspora online community and Chinese state media. Since the onset of the Information Age, each party has sought to influence international perception of the Uyghur people and their traditional homeland Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) by promoting English language representations of Uyghurs and Xinjiang on the internet. Further, this study looks at the question of how each party's engagement in this online nationalist competition affects either positively or negatively its own agenda. The question is investigated through comparative textual analysis of Uyghur diaspora and Chinese state media websites and an interview with a Uyghur diaspora website administrator. 相似文献

Concepts of “adaptive context” and “holding environment” serve as a foundation from which to address the impact of typical outpatient psychotherapy clinic settings on the process of psychoanalytic therapy. Issues of transference and resistance, treatment boundaries, professional investment, and the patients' and therapists' perceptions of the therapy process are primary areas of consideration. The depth, intensity, and power of psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy is seen as potentially limited by the structure and policies to which clinic settings tend to adhere. Circumstances in private practice are used as a point of comparison and suggestions are made to minimize treatment complications. 相似文献

At-risk young mothers and their infants (4–7 months of age) participated in an evaluation of a parenting intervention that
focused largely on language stimulation. Participants assigned to the intervention group were matched with a volunteer mentor
and were encouraged to attend eleven parenting sessions (five to seven participants per group) across approximately 8 months.
Participants in the control group received referrals as needed and were followed across time. Results indicated that babies
of the participants in the intervention group experienced more improvement in expressive language from pretest to posttest
than did babies of the mothers in the control group. 相似文献
