江門市老年照顧者的照顧壓力及社會支持研究報告 = A research report on the caregiving pressures and social support of older carers in Jiangmen city
Get PDF根據中國第七次人口普查的結果顯示，2021年65歲及以上人口為19064萬人，占總人口的13.50% (國家統計局, 2021年5月11日)。中國老年人口於2025年將突破3億，2033年會突破至4億，2053年將達到峰值4.87億，占屆時全球老年人口的4分之1 (鄒波，2017)。隨著老年人口的不斷增加和壽命的增長，老齡化將是中國和很多發達國家面臨的重要問題。
此研究的地區為江門市，它是廣東省最“老”的城市，2019年該市戶籍老人為88.3萬人(比2018年增加5.7萬人)，占戶籍總人口比例為22.1%(2018年為20.7%)。2019年江門市戶籍老人增速達6.9%，遠高於戶籍人口增速0.3%，亦高於全國和廣東省平均水準。老年人數量更以每年2.5萬到3萬人的速度增加，預計於2036年將達到戶籍人口的25%以上。受計劃生育政策的影響及2016年開放二胎政策，很多家庭都為獨生子女家庭，未來將呈現出“四二二”的家庭結構。這意味著青壯年的照顧壓力會進一步加劇,更多老年人將成為照顧者。
老年照顧者在照顧患病家人的過程要面對很多的困難。陳茜等(2008)通過分析國內外相關文獻後，認為老年照顧者主要需要承受體力上的壓力、精神上的壓力、經濟上的壓力和社會壓力。羅小茜等(2015)通過分析文獻發現，老老照護者會產生多種不良結果，如軀體症狀、心理症狀和照護品質下降。康峻鳴等(2020)對148例腦卒中後遺症患者及其家庭照顧者進行健康測量簡表(SF—36)以及社會支持量表(SSRS)調查，發現腦卒中後遺症患者家庭照顧者的生活品質與社會支持呈正相關。目前對於老年人照顧壓力的研究大多以理論、文獻的分析為主，或者僅僅從某一類型疾病的照顧壓力進行研究，如張睿等(2008)對10名認知障礙患者的照顧者進行非結構訪談，瞭解其照顧感受。可是針對老年照顧者的壓力的實證研究比較少，且對老年照顧者的需求及社會支持的研究更加缺乏。因此，本研究期望通過對江門市老年照顧者的深度訪談，去瞭解他們的照顧壓力來源及其社會支援網路。此研究報告分為三部分，第一部分指出研究的問題及此研究的方法。第二部分是主要發現。最後一個部分提供相關的建議
Digital punishment : privacy, stigma, and the consequences of data-driven criminal justice
No full textThe proliferation of data-driven criminal justice operations has created millions of criminal records each year in the United States. Documenting everything from a police stop to a prison sentence, these records take on a digital life of their own as they are collected by law enforcement and courts, posted on government websites, re-posted on social media, online news and mugshot galleries, and bought and sold by data brokers. The result is “digital punishment,” where mere suspicion or a brush with the law can have lasting consequences. This presentation will discuss several empirical, mixed methods studies of digital criminal records, with a focus on criminal record accuracy, disclosure, and public policy solutions
為香港金融服務業的女同志和雙性戀女性僱員創造共融職場
Get PDF職場共融是香港企業社會責任(Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR)的重要一環。職場共融指出僱主需要尊重僱員之間的多樣性，肯定僱員對工作環境的不同貢獻，並提高員工的專業水準。多元的工作場所亦需要接納來自不同背景、膚色、種族、健康狀況、性傾向和性別認同的員工。綜觀香港商業各界，向來少有女性的高層代表。女同志和雙性戀女性更因為其性別和性傾向，在職場晉升中面臨「雙重隱形天花板」(double glass ceiling) 的阻礙。
透過嶺南大學創新及效益基金的資助，並與香港跨銀行同志論壇(The Hong Kong LGBT Interbank Forum)和Lesbians in Finance合作，鄧芝珊博士向正在香港金融和銀行業工作的女同志和雙性戀女性，進行了一項網絡問卷調查與兩次焦點小組訪談。研究旨在探討香港金融服務業當中，女同志和雙性戀女性所遇到的具體挑戰和障礙。
我們發現，只有37%的問卷調查受訪者曾經在職場「出櫃」，亦有23%向部分關係密切的同事「出櫃」。換言之，他們對於在職場「出櫃」一事仍然有重大顧慮。企業內的LGBT+員工亦面對「隱形天花板」的晉升問題，18%的調查受訪者同意、47%有點同意存在著這種限制。問及女同志和雙性戀女性是否比男同志更難在職場上「出櫃」時，32%受訪者同意、46%表示有點同意。27%的受訪者同意、39%表示有點同意「女同志和雙性戀女性難以獲得企業的晉升」。其他結果則顯示，女同志和雙性戀女性在企業環境中難被看見、缺乏指導機會、承受更大壓力和焦慮，且擔憂女同志和雙性戀女性的身份會令她們遭受質疑。相較於順性別的女性僱員，表現陽剛的員工亦明顯要面臨更嚴格的審查。故此，即使有關多元共融的討論，一直是改善香港企業工作環境的議程之一，但在提升女同志和雙性戀女性議題的意識方面，仍然存在不足之處。https://commons.ln.edu.hk/ccrd_report/1001/thumbnail.jp
Friend or foe? Africans at the door : twentieth century military encounters between the Chinese and various African nationals at the borders of China 1900-1950
No full textThe first half of the twentieth century was marked by two World Wars, both of which played a role in the decolonization struggles of the Caribbean, Africa and Asia alongside marked “South-South” military encounters within the frame of imperialism. Men from far-flung parts of Africa interacted with Chinese nationals in various capacities on the very borders of China during a period that witnessed the rise and practice of Marxist-Leninist Socialism. A factor that played into the discourse of decolonisation, independence and models of development in Africa. The narratives of these Africa-China encounters have been largely forgotten by most countries of Africa and by the Peoples Republic of China. This paper seeks to identify through historical research the encounters that China had with people from various parts of the African continent between 1900 and 1950 in Asia. Followed by a brief description on how these encounters were perceived in Africa during that fifty-year period. The paper concludes with a discussion on the subject of memorialisation of these encounters in both China and in the independent African countries that were involved
From training to improving classroom practices: Learning from school improvement program intervention in a mountainous public secondary school in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
Get PDFThis study reports learning from a professional development (PD) session and classroom action research from an English class conducted in the mountainous northern part of Pakistan. The researcher got training from Professional Development Centre North (PDCN) as a member of the Quality Assurance Team and then conducted a five-day workshop for teachers on various general teaching techniques, lesson planning, writing reflections/portfolios and classroom management. After the sessions, the teachers applied these knowledge and skills in their respective classes, and English teachers did action research with the researcher to improve the language skills of grade 7 students for three cycles. Pre- and post-intervention tests, teachers’ reflective diaries, lesson plans, portfolio books and discussions with teachers were sources of data collection. The present study shows that there is a thirst amongst teachers for professional grooming. Also, students gradually benefit from new teaching techniques. This study suggests including various PD models in the school development plan to improve teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge, which will result in improved learning outcomes for students. The sustainability of these initiatives is a challenge due to the lack of proper mechanisms and policies in the government schools of Gilgit-Baltistan. Therefore, there is a need for a school policy for English teachers’ PD at the classroom level to improve teaching practices and students’ learning
The Saath-Saath project : China-India music collaboration
No full textCCRD invites four distinguished Hong Kong-based speakers to share their personal journeys of experimentation with different kinds of musical practice, and to offer insights into ‘practice as research’ in music-making and performance. These diverse forms of practice as research involve voice talking to instrument, instrument reaching out to voice, and musicians being challenged by cultural difference viscerally experienced through language and melody.
In this session, Tejaswini Niranjana (CCRD Director) introduces the Saath-Saath Project, involving a set of cross-cultural collaborations between musicians and scholars across India, Hong Kong, and Chin
Comparison of way Indonesians and international authors use citation style, author stance, and reporting verb in journal articles for the field of applied linguistics and language education
No full textIn academic texts such as theses, dissertations, essays, papers, and journal articles, authors need to cite the works of others to support their claims about the importance of their writing. When citing other people\u27s work, the author uses the citation style, verb reporting and the author\u27s stance to include information in their text. However, non-native authors such as Indonesian authors who write in English can use reporting verbs, citation styles, and the stance of certain authors when to cite other works in English texts which may be different from those in English texts by international authors.
The aim of this research is to investigate the comparison of citation styles, author positions and reporting verbs used by Indonesian and international authors. This research is a comparative descriptive study. The object of this research is a research article published in national journals and international journals in the field of applied linguistics and language education in the past 10 years, which consisted of 10 introduction research articles for each journal. The data in this study were taken using a checklist and documentation. It is hoped that through this comparison, it can be seen the differences in the way Indonesian and international authors using reporting verbs, citation styles, and the author stance in journal articles in the field of applied linguistics and language education
