Determining where physical therapists get information to support clinical practice decisions

Objective

To determine the information sources utilised by physical therapists (PTs) to support clinical decisions.

Methods

Physical therapists in the United States were invited via professional listservs and electronic newsletters to participate in an online survey.

Results

Journal articles were the most frequently utilised source of information, followed by databases (PubMed was most frequent). The frequency of utilising evidence‐based resources was not significantly affected by the number of years of experience as a physical therapist (PT), working in a state that allows direct access to PT services or doctoral vs masters/bachelors degree.

Conclusions

Compared with a previous study (1994), there has been a transition in physical therapy information seeking, with greater reliance on evidence‐based information.

中国宗教集体精神的缺失——以涂尔干宗教社会学理论为参照的考察

涂尔干认为 :宗教中的集体生活以及在此基础上形成的集体意识与精神是非常重要的 ;宗教生活本质上是一种集体生活 ,而集体生活也即宗教聚集不能相隔过久 ;之所以要维持定期的集体生活从根本上说是保持宗教伦理与理想的需要。但是 ,若对中国宗教加以考察我们会发现 ,它似乎普遍缺少集体意识和集体精神。对于一般的信众而言 ,中国宗教 ,无论是道教还是佛教都没有严格定期的集体生活 ,不仅如此 ,多教崇拜实际上也瓦解了这种可能。进一步 ,由于得不到集体生活中更高目标的激励 ,中国宗教一般来说只是满足于功利与具体层面 ,缺乏伦理与理想追求     

论“王者”、“核心”的政治历史逻辑

政治历史和政治神话中的“王者”、“核心”即是被神圣化的政治象征人。神化对象存在四种分析类型，时空隔离是神化的基本法则。政治象征人的历史演绎逻辑反映了政治变迁和政治特性，因而也是社会—政治过程的持久性因素。
