Memories of childhood sexual abuse: a survey of young adults

Objective: To explore the prevalence of, characteristics of, and factors associated with forgetting of childhood sexual abuse memories in a large non-clinical sample (N = 1712).Method: Using an anonymous survey, we asked respondents about (a) the nature and severity of their childhood abuse; (b) the continuity of their abuse memories; and (c) their experiences with others suggesting to them that they might have been abused.Results: A substantial minority of victims in our sample reported having temporarily forgotten their childhood sexual abuse. Forgetting was largely unassociated with victim or abuse characteristics. Compared to individuals who always remembered their abuse, however, individuals who temporarily forgot were more likely to report that someone had suggested to them that they might have experienced abuse. Those who received such suggestions were particularly likely to suspect that they may have experienced childhood sexual abuse that they do not yet remember.Conclusion: Forgetting may be less common than implied by earlier estimates from clinical samples, yet it is not uncommon. Also, a sizable minority of the population is wondering whether they have experienced unremembered abuse, and these suspicions are linked to having encountered suggestions from others. We discuss the implications of these findings for understanding the phenomenon sometimes labeled repression.Spanish abstract was not available at time of publication.     

JEWISH EDUCATION IN MOROCCO AND THE FORMER SOVIET UNION: COMPARATIVE NOTES FROM THE FIELD ABOUT SEPHARDIC AND ASHKENAZIC SCHOOLING

Over the Past several years, a new and unprecedented challenge has been thrust upon professionals in the field of Jewish communal service—the development of effective instrumentalities to absorb into the American Jewish community masses of Soviet Jews. Jewish educators have grappled with the difficulties and frustrations of this task along with their colleagues in the other disciplines of Jewish service. Yet if the influx of these new Russian settlers presents the organized Jewish community with unique and seemingly intractable problems, it also offers Jewish educational agencies—and more particularly central Bureaus and Boards of Jewish education—with an unparalleled opportunity to play a leadership role in this orchestrated communal effort. This essay purports to analyze this potential and to describe how one central agency, the Atlanta Bureau of Jewish Education, has endeavored to exploit it.     

春秋贵族“出奔”所见之周人国家观念

在春秋贵族出奔这一事物中,周礼是客观存在的.体现在贵族出奔中的周礼正是周代国家结构、国家形态的反映.这其中隐含周人的国家观念.西周分封的诸侯国并不是独立的国家,而是西周宗法分封所建立起来的与天下相对应的宗盟政权的二级政府.而宗盟政权则是周初周人在宗教观念、政权建设、文化建设上革故鼎新,进行一体化创新的结果.周人并无狭隘的国家观念.

救亡图存视域下民众觉醒原因的内外考量——以华北事变期间为中心

在救亡图存视域下审视近代中国的社会运动,可以发现,凡是民众觉醒得越坚决、越彻底,民众的觉悟程度越高,运动则越容易成功;反之则大多不能摆脱彻底失败或部分失败的结局。而考之民众觉醒的整个历程,华北事变所起的作用巨大。就华北事变时期的民众觉醒的促发因子而言,于外主要有两个：一是日本对华北的逐步侵蚀和南京国民政府的步步妥协,二是中国共产党的抗日主张对民众的启蒙影响;于内则主要在于民众亲身的亡家之痛与亡国之患,以及对华北时局的深刻体认,也即民众的真正觉醒是其自身认识升华的结果。     

试论裕固族教育研究的对象与功能——基于教育人类学的视角

裕固族教育研究是一个新兴学术领域,虽然历史短暂,但在近10年获得了较快的发展。随着研究探索和实践改革的迅速发展,一个最为基本但又难以回答的问题——"何谓裕固族教育研究"开始困扰人们。针对这一问题,此研究以教育人类学视角为隐性但却是基本的视角,从对象和功能两个层面进行了论述。     

裕固族文化融入国家基础教育课程体系问题的调查研究

裕固族是中国人口较少民族之一。裕固族文化融入国家基础教育课程体系的探索性实践,主要集中在裕固语教学试验和与民族文化传承有关的校本课程开发上,目前仍存在学校教育中惟分数主义倾向明显和民族文化融入学校课程的校际差异明显等问题,应以转换视角、加强交流、制定政策、均衡发展为对策。裕固族地区与民族文化传承有关的基础教育课程改革已经取得引人瞩目的成果,但实事求是地稳步推进仍然是解决裕固族文化融入国家基础教育课程体系问题的基本策略和思想指针。     

Development of a clinical information tool for the electronic medical record: a case study

Question:

What is the process of developing a clinical information tool to be embedded in the electronic health record of a very large and diverse academic medical center?

Setting:

The development took place at the University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences Library System.

Method:

The clinical information tool developed is a search box with subject tabs to provide quick access to designated full-text information resources. Each subject tab offers a federated search of a different pool of resources. Search results are organized “on the fly” into meaningful categories using clustering technology and are directly accessible from the results page.

Results:

After more than a year of discussion and planning, a clinical information tool was embedded in the academic medical center''s electronic health record.

Conclusion:

The library successfully developed a clinical information tool, called Clinical-e, for use at the point of care. Future development will refine the tool and evaluate its impact and effectiveness.

Parental activity as a determinant of activity level and patterns of activity in obese children

The purposes of this study were to measure the level and pattern of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA = > 4.5 METs) and examine predictors of activity in obese children. Fifty-one 8-12-year-old children seeking obesity treatment wore accelerometers for 3 or 4 days. Children averaged 12.2 bouts of MVPA per day that lasted an average of 4.2 min, while parents engaged in 3.9 bouts of MVPA that lasted 4.2 min. Hierarchical regression models showed parent activity improved the prediction of obese children's activity levels and the number of bouts of MVPA but not the duration of MVPA. These results suggest that programs to increase physical activity in obese children should structure the activity in short bouts and attempt to increase parental physical activity.
