The empowerment dilemma: The dialectic of emancipation and control in staff/client interaction at shelters for battered women

This study investigated the dialectic of emancipation and control in the relationship between staff and clients at shelters for battered women. Accounts from shelter workers indicated that the power structure of their relationship with clients is characterized by four properties: a circumstantial dichotomy, contrasting experiences, asymmetrical roles, and resource control. Additionally, the workers discussed four contradictory aspects of the shelter worker/shelter client relationship (their relationship with clients, the shelter environment, the clients' options, and the amount of time the client spends at the shelter) which reflected the existence of the dialectic of emancipation and control in their interaction with clients. Findings are discussed in terms of domestic shelters, shelter worker/shelter client relationships, and dialectical theory.

印度推动开放存取的进展——第三世界的超级大国还是边缘小国？

在1982年Magnus Pyke科学政策基金学术年会上，Eugene Garfield说，“明显地，印度是第三世界国家中科学研究的超级大国。“在SCll973年的引文统计中，印度学者单独发表的论文占到了第三世界国家的一半。从20世纪70年代开始，印度在研究论文发表量方面稳居第八位，是20世纪80年代早期中国主流科学论文量的5倍，一直到20世纪90年代初都是第三世界国家毫无疑义的领导者。此后．中国决心赶超印度。印度现在在论文数量上排在15位，并面临继续下滑的危险。实际上，中国、巴西和韩国的研究产出增长非常快．尽管他们原来都只是小字辈（见表1）。
