Predictors of re-entry into the child protection system in Singapore: A cumulative ecological–transactional risk model

This study examines the risk factors of re-entry for 1,750 child protection cases in Singapore using a cumulative ecological–transactional risk model. Using administrative data, the present study found that the overall percentage of Child Protection Service (CPS) re-entry in Singapore is 10.5% based on 1,750 cases, with a range from 3.9% (within 1 year) to 16.5% (within 8 years after case closure). One quarter of the re-entry cases were observed to occur within 9 months from case closure. Seventeen risk factors, as identified from the extant literature, were tested for their utility to predict CPS re-entry in this study using a series of Cox regression analyses. A final list of seven risk factors (i.e., children's age at entry, case type, case closure result, duration of case, household income, family size, and mother's employment status) was used to create a cumulative risk score. The results supported the cumulative risk model in that higher risk score is related to higher risk of CPS re-entry. Understanding the prevalence of CPS re-entry and the risk factors associated with re-entry is the key to informing practice and policy in a culturally relevant way. The results from this study could then be used to facilitate critical case management decisions in order to enhance positive outcomes of families and children in Singapore's care system.     

Family violence exposure and associated risk factors for child PTSD in a Mexican sample

This study was undertaken in an effort to help illuminate the deleterious effects of traumatic stress on children and families in Mexico. Rates of exposure to traumatic events, family and community violence, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were investigated in 87 school-age children and their mothers. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to examine potential family and ecological risk factors for the presence of child PTSD. A total of 51 children (58.6%) reported an event that met the DSM-IV A criteria, and 36 children (41.4%; 20 boys and 16 girls) met criteria for full PTSD. Traumatic exposure in this sample was considerable, particularly intense, and chronic as a result of interpersonal violence in the home and community. Results support the need for preventive systemic interventions targeting the individual level, parent–child dyadic level, and the larger cultural and community context.     

中英社会流行语与语言规范

社会的发展和进步,形成了具有创新性、丰富多彩的社会流行语。无论是在西方国家还是在中国,社会流行语都是一种客观存在、不容忽视的特殊语言现象。社会流行语在日常交际中时常可见,并且被很多人是指并应用。英语流行语和汉语流行语来自于影视作品、文学作品、网络用语、热点新闻话题、外来语、学校语言等等。甚至还有一些创作的新的社会流行语。但是流行语与语言规范相矛盾,社会流行语影响了语言语音,语法,书写等方面的正规性和规范性。

在经济学视角下对营销代理问题的研究

论文从经济学的视角对市场营销中的代理理论及其运用进行探讨。代理理论认为在等级的关系中，委托人只能局部地考察代理商的行为和生产能力，因此委托人面临着代理制有异化的趋势、道德风险和隐瞒行为的问题。论文集中地讨论了激励的设计，这种设计能促使代理商的行为与委托人的利益更为一致，并对完善营销代理制度提出了几点对策。     

农发行信贷新业务风险及其对策选择

国家粮棉油管理体制发生重大变革后，中国农业发展银行（以下简称农发行）由国家指定服务于粮棉油收购资金封闭运行的专一政策性银行的信贷管理模式也随之发生调整，主要反映在信贷政策发展方向上，由单一完全运行的全政策性信贷业务向政策性和经营性信贷业务双轨运行方向转变。虽然信贷政策双轨运行给国家大大减轻了财政政策性补贴亏损负担，但同时农发行在自主经营上也相应承担着多种风险。要运用好信贷新政策，使得国家、客户和农发行自身三方充分获利，只有面对现实，选择应对措施，合理规避信贷新业务风险，才是最佳出路。
