Factors affecting placement decisions of children following short-term emergency care

Case files of 424 residents at an emergency treatment center for abused and neglected children were used to generate a beginning set of variables which, in combination, predicted whether or not children from the center would be discharged to their natural family environment. Variables with descending order of predictive significance were place from which the child was admitted, the length of time spent in treatment, the age and the race of the child, Other variables--the number of siblings, the child's sex and the presence of physical/sexual abuse--did not approach significance.

Dialectical Contradictions Experienced When Placing a Spouse With Dementia in a Residential Care Facility

Placing a spouse with dementia in a care facility can be a devastating decision, and the placement process can be disruptive and difficult for all involved. This case study explores dialectical contradictions experienced during the placement decision-making process, on the day of placement, and in the weeks following placement. Ways in which findings could be applied to support spouses at this difficult time are also discussed.     

Lifetime prevalence and incidence of sexual victimization of adolescents in institutional care

The frequency of sexual victimization in high-risk populations like adolescents in institutional care has hardly been studied. In this study, we report lifetime prevalence and incidence from a nationwide German sample including 322 adolescents (mean age 16.69 years, 43% female) from 20 residential care facilities and 12 boarding schools. Lifetime prevalence for severe sexual victimization (in and outside of institution) was 46.7% for girls and 8.0% for boys. Moreover, 5% of all adolescents experienced severe sexual victimization for the first time after they were admitted to the current institution (mean duration of stay in the current institution 3.08 years). Offenders were mostly adolescents of the same age whereas staff members played a minor role as perpetrators. We conclude that the high rate of sexual victimization among adolescents in institutional care should be considered during decision-making processes concerning out-of-home placement and during a stay in residential care.

“互联网+”室内住宅空间软装设计教学研究

“软装”是相对于建筑本身的硬结构空间提出来的,是指室内空间中所有可移动的元素。其中,针对住宅空间软装设计的实训教学是培养室内软装设计师的重要一环。它的任务是使学生通过室内住宅空间软装设计基本理论和实践知识的学习,掌握一定的室内住宅空间陈设品的选择和规划设计能力,从而创造具有典型风格形态,且更符合人的生理需求和心理需求的室内住宅空间环境。文章主要从目前住宅空间软装设计能力培养中的目标设定和教学问题分析,探寻创新的教学设计理念、途径和方法,结合“‘互联网+’双创教育”,一改以往的“先理论再实践”的传统教学思路,把教学重点放在“双创实训”与“设计实训”环节,培养学生“软装设计”与“互联网创新创业”两方面的能力。     

民艺居住文化与现代家居设计的融合

民艺不仅仅是民族艺术,同时它也是生活的一种具体体现。现代设计与民艺文化的融合,体现的是设计的民族性和独特性。照搬已经不符合当今时代发展的趋势,要用现代的手段来表现传统文化。我们要留住民艺,为民艺文化创造宽松的发展环境。民艺居住文化与现代家居设计的融合是住宅设计发展的必然趋势,也是社会需求的自然体现。     

彝族居住模式的文化解析——以大姚县昙华乡松子园村为例

在楚雄昙华彝族聚居区,有一种独特的“双宅式”居住模式,韵味古朴的传统彝家村落与时尚典雅的现代楼阁式建筑并存。形成了一种独具特色的居住格局。它作为一种民族文化活态的物化符号。不仅反映了昙华彝族对自然环境与社会环境的巨大适应力和创造力,同时也反映了他们对民族传统文化的守望和创新．从而达到一种传统与现代的和谐统一。     

现代汉语“路径”概念词汇化模式分析

Beyond residential mobility: A broader conceptualization of instability and its impact on victimization risk among children

Predictability in a child’s environment is a critical quality of safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments, which promote wellbeing and protect against maltreatment. Research has focused on residential mobility's effect on this predictability. This study augments such research by analyzing the impact of an instability index—including the lifetime destabilization factors (LDFs) of natural disasters, homelessness, child home removal, multiple moves, parental incarceration, unemployment, deployment, and multiple marriages--on childhood victimizations. The cross-sectional, nationally representative sample of 12,935 cases (mean age = 8.6 years) was pooled from 2008, 2011, and 2014 National Surveys of Children’s Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV). Logistic regression models controlling for demographics, socio-economic status, and family structure tested the association between excessive residential mobility, alone, and with LDFs, and past year childhood victimizations (sexual victimization, witnessing community or family violence, maltreatment, physical assault, property crime, and polyvictimization). Nearly 40% of the sample reported at least one LDF. Excessive residential mobility was significantly predictive of increased odds of all but two victimizations; almost all associations were no longer significant after other destabilizing factors were included. The LDF index without residential mobility was significantly predictive of increased odds of all victimizations (AOR’s ranged from 1.36 to 1.69), and the adjusted odds ratio indicated a 69% increased odds of polyvictimization for each additional LDF a child experienced. The LDF index thus provides a useful alternative to using residential moves as the sole indicator of instability. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive supports and services to support stability for children and families.
