Sexual abuse,residential schooling and probable pathological gambling among Indigenous Peoples

Sexual abuse leads to short-term and long-lasting pervasive outcomes, including addictions. Among Indigenous Peoples, sexual abuse experienced in the context of residential schooling may have led to unresolved grief that is contributing to social problems, such as pathological (disordered) gambling. The aim of this study is to investigate the link between child sexual abuse, residential schooling and probable pathological gambling. The participants were 358 Indigenous persons (54.2% women) aged between 18 and 87 years, from two communities and two semi-urban centers in Quebec (Canada). Probable pathological gambling was evaluated using the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS), and sexual abuse and residential schooling were assessed with dichotomous questions (yes/no). The results indicate an 8.7% past-year prevalence rate of pathological gambling problems among participants, which is high compared with the general Canadian population. Moreover, 35.4% were sexually abused, while 28.1% reported having been schooled in a residential setting. The results of a logistic regression also indicate that experiences of child sexual abuse and residential schooling are associated with probable pathological gambling among Indigenous Peoples. These findings underscore the importance of using an ecological approach when treating gambling, to address childhood traumas alongside current addiction problems.     

中东伊斯兰城市社区作用初探

自我封闭、自成一体的居民区作为中东伊斯兰城市的一个显著特征,在伊斯兰城市发展中有着不可替代的作用。它的数量是城市社会和物质组织的基础,是衡量一个城市大小与地位的重要标准。它的形成与伊斯兰教鼓励穷人和富人共存的思想,与中东地区宗教和民族的多样性有着密切的关系。它既是城市不可分割的组成部分,又是城市管理中的一个不可或缺的集体。     

Resilience and psychopathology among victimized youth in residential care

This study examines the role of several resilience resources in the relationship between lifetime victimization and mental health problems among adolescents in care. The sample comprised 127 adolescents (53.% females, aged 12–17 years) from residential care facilities in Catalonia, Spain. The Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire, the Youth Self-Report, and the Adolescent Resilience Questionnaire were used to assess victimization, psychological symptoms, and resilience respectively. Results indicated that poly-victimization was associated with fewer resources, and with an increased risk of mental health problems. Self-resources mediated the relationship between victimization and internalizing and externalizing symptoms; community support mediated the relationship between victimization and internalizing symptoms. Self, school and peer support moderated the relationship between victimization and externalizing symptoms. Adolescents with fewer self-resources and less school support reported more externalizing symptoms, as did those with more peer support. However, poly-victimized youths reported symptoms within the clinical range, regardless of their level of resources. The findings stress the importance of preventing poly-victimization and of empowering poly-victimized adolescents, who appear to present low levels of resources. Researchers and clinicians should continue to study the poly-victimization/psychopathology relationship, and also design interventions and prevention programs which incorporate the most relevant resilience resources.     

中产阶级住宅福利研究的意义与理论依据

住宅福利一直是福利社会学研究的重要范畴。当福利的内涵和外延同时拓展时,其普惠式的趋势就相当明显,更多的受益群体将纳入到住宅福利体系之中。随着我国住宅供应梯次体系日趋明朗,处在社会中层的中产阶级的住宅福利理应受到更多的关注。开展对中产阶级住宅福利的研究意义重大,不仅是解决这一群体住有所居的福利目标,更多的是通过这种研究来关注这个群体的生活方式及其对社会稳定和谐所起的重要作用。福利社会学的福利研究框架,行动者与社会相互建构的理论以及诸多关于政策本质的研究都为这种研究提供了重要的理论依据。     

On adventure therapy and the natural worlds: Respecting nature's healing

Abstract

This paper sets out to discover if the history of outdoor education, within the UK and more particularly Scotland, provides its modern exponents with a legacy of prescribed conservatism or alternatively a form of education which embraces, or is capable of embracing, diversity of theory and practice. It begins in the post World War II period entitled “out of the ashes” and charts the history decade by decade.

Secondary sources are used and include statutory instruments as well as the body of literature that relates to outdoor education. The paper has succeeded in adding to the literature through uncovering rarely used sources. Secondary sources have been supplemented by primary data in the form of interviews. The interviews were used to provide detail and fill gaps where secondary sources were lacking.

The time between the post-war period until the end of the 1960s charts the growth of outdoor education provision. This growth is characterised by diversity where common themes such as “fitness for war”, “character building” “social education” “recuperative holiday for socially disadvantaged young people” and “progressive education” emerge as competing and contrasting claims. Consequently it can be stated that outdoor education defies definition in terms of being a fixed entity of common consent, homogeneous over time and space.

Residential environment index system and evaluation model established by subjective and objective methods

In this research, the residential environment index system and evaluation model were established by means of subjective and objective methods. The methodology for establishing the evaluation system for residential environment was first analyzed; then the subjective evaluation data-base was established by questionnaire survey; and at the same time, the objective evaluation data-base was constructed by Geographic Information System (GIS); and then the related equation system between subjective and objective system was developed by multiple regression analysis. This research could benefit evaluation of the residential environment quality for various purposes, and also provide important rudimentary data-base for the development and improvement of residential environment for officials. Furthermore, the index system and evaluation model established in this research could construct a strong relation between subjective evaluation and objective data; and thus could provide a comprehensive, efficient and effective methodology for the evaluation of residential environment.

桂西某住宅楼混凝土施工技术

底板与内墙水平施工缝采用平口形式。为了保证内墙浇筑在底板处不漏浆,浇筑底板时要用4m刮杠赶平。合墙模前剔除根部松动石子,清扫干净。浇筑内墙前,用布料器铺30mm砂浆。考虑外墙为抗渗混凝土,在剔除时要及时检查剔除部位,如果剔至30mm仍有〉20mm气泡或松散石子,则须继续向下剔,直到剔至密实混凝土为止。
