Depression in Older Adults: A Meta-Synthesis

Depression in older adults is often overlooked and dismissed as a part of aging. A body of knowledge—both quantitative and qualitative—has developed on the topic of depression in older adults. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews have been used to synthesize the quantitative findings of studies, and our research seeks to synthesize the qualitative studies that have been conducted on elders' experience with depression. Thirteen studies met inclusion criteria, and 4 major themes were extracted: experiences, causes, recovery, and barriers to treatment. These themes are detailed and their implications for practice are explored.

大型工程建设项目组织综合集成模式

针对大型工程项目组织现状,应用系统论和综合集成方法,提出了工程项目组织基本原理图。构建了项目组织的十元组模型和十纬度集成理论,并对维度进行分析和归约。在此基础上,建立了工程项目组织集成的逻辑框架、结构框架、运作机制和运作框架,以及集成的组织中人力资源的配置方案,进而提出了宜组织的概念。最后将其应用于工程项目实践中,验证证实取得较好效果。这一大型工程项目组织综合集成模式同样也适合特大型工程项目的组织构造,具有较强的理论先进性和使用价值。     

钱学森论系统方法论——献给钱学森先生94华诞

将钱学森对系统方法论的有关论述归纳为四点,指出辩证唯物论是系统方法论的哲学基础,辩证地剖析了还原论的价值和局限,提出系统论是整体论和还原论的辩证统一,制定了从定性到定量综合集成法.     

面向地铁项目决策的综合集成方法

地铁工程项目具有开放性,规模大、周期长,项目参与单位多,技术要求高、施工难度大,传统项目管理方法难以驾驭其复杂性。综合集成方法是解决地铁项目决策中的复杂问题的有效方法,其具体实现方式是构建基于Internet的包括专家体系、机器体系和知识体系的综合集成研讨厅。根据问题解决方式和信息平台的不同,地铁项目决策综合集成研讨厅可分为基于电子政务网的综合集成研讨厅、面向协同工作的综合集成研讨厅和基于企业ERP的综合集成研讨厅三种类型。     

创建现代管理科学的中国学派及其基本途径研究

创建现代管理科学的中国学派,是我国管理科学工作者的一项历史使命,是一项系统工程。创建的基本途径是洋为中用、古为今用、近为今用、综合集成。     

The Lived Experiences of Transgender Persons: A Meta-Synthesis

This article synthesises findings from qualitative studies which have explored the lived experiences of transgender persons, using Noblit and Hare's (1998) meta-ethnography method. Thirty-one qualitative studies related to the lived experiences of transgender individuals, published between 1998 and 2013, met the inclusion criteria. A literature search was conducted between November 2012 and September 2013 using computerized searches from nine databases as well as online manual searches of key journals. Results from these individual studies revealed five major themes: (a) crossing gender and physical problems in life, (b) experiencing psychological distress, (c) encountering discrimination and social exclusion, (d) having relationships does matter, and (e) dealing with difficulties in life. Yet, despite these negative experiences, transgender people have tried to find ways to help them deal with their difficulties. We conclude that there is a need for health care providers, social workers, and health promoters to support transgender individuals, for their health and well-being. This meta-synthesis provides a clear account of what transgender individuals experience in their lives, to support the development of sympathetic health and social care services to assist them with their difficulties, and enhance their health and well-being.
