Work-related factors associated with psychological distress among social workers

The current study assesses the association between several work-related factors and psychological distress among social workers (SWs) in Israel. The data were collected through structured questionnaires, administered to a sample of 494 SWs. The findings suggest that most of the examined work-related factors (namely, years of professional experience, personal work-related subjection to violence, burnout, compassion fatigue, and sense of coherence), with the exception of compassion satisfaction, significantly predicted psychological distress among SWs. The conclusion is that it is important to embed within the social work practice strategies for reducing sources of psychological distress (job demands) and increasing material, professional, and personal resources. Reducing the levels of psychological distress experienced by SWs will benefit not only themselves, but also their families and colleagues, as well as their clients. Moreover, this has potential benefits for the social work profession and for the general community.     

日本的侵华战争与"台独"势力

日本自甲午战争后对台湾实行殖民统治,积极推行“去中国化”的“皇民化运动”。“皇民化”中培植起来的“皇民”成了战后“台独”的骨干分子,日本成了“台独”的源头和主要活动基地。中日邦交正常化后,日本右异势力一直视台湾海峡为自己的生命线,纵容和支持“台独”势力从事分裂活动,扮演了台海危机幕后黑手的角色。     

汉魏之际人身依附关系向隶属关系的转化

虽然人身依附关系古已有之,但是到汉魏之际它却有了质的变化。王莽改"奴婢曰私属",是奴主关系向半自由的隶属关系的开始;曹魏末年给公卿以下及贵势之家以租牛客户,则是依附关系向隶属关系转化的完成。前者是奴隶身份的提高,后者是编户民身份的下降。
