The nursing home nurses' knowledge attitude and willingness on long term care
No full text[[abstract]]Since the increasing population and life expectancy of the elderly,there is also an increase in tendency of being sick.Because nurses are important part of the long term care staff in elderly care,their knowledge,attitudes,and willingness of long term care will have great influence on their nursing activity toward the eldery. The aim of this study is to realize their knowledge attitudes,and willingness in caring elderly, and relationships among these three variables. A cross-sectional study, subjects were purposive sampling to the central district health department nursing home and registered nurses as subjects, using a structured questionnaire survey, a total of 128 questionnaires sent by mail, 115 valid questionnaires, The recovery rate was 89.8%, and to SPSS For Windows 12.0 Chinese version of the software implementation of the T test, one way ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation analysis, stepwise multiple regression model inferential statistical data analysis.
The results showed that nurses in nursing homes (1) Long-term care knowledge score of 100 points, the average score of 66.77 and the correct response rate of 66.77 percent, religion (F =- 2.61, P <0.05), family type (F = 3.75, P <0.05), the monthly salary (F = 2.98, P <0.05) in long term care knowledge was significantly correlated. (2) long-term care attitude score was 3.7 points on average, can be seen long-term care for the attitude of the majority of nurses are active, positive, family type (F = 3.21, P <0.05), whether you like the general elderly (F = 4.57, P <0.05), titles (F = 2.51, P <0.05), obtain a professional license level (F = 8.89, P <0.05), the last two years is a long-term care actively participate in seminars related to (t = 4.09, P <0.05) were significantly related in attitude. (3) The rate of long-term care will mean score of 3.5 points, can be seen for long term care nurses are most active, positive, gender (t =- 2.18,, P <0.05), marital status (F = 3.50, P <0.05), whether you like the general elderly (F = 3.88, P <0.05), the last two years is a long-term care actively participate in relevant seminars (t = 3.78, P <0.05) were significantly related to the willingness on. (4) nursing home nurses on the overall long-term care knowledge, attitudes, and will have a significant positive correlation (P <0.01), that is more extensive long-term care knowledge, their attitude toward the more positive long-term care, the more willing to engage in care work. Results of this study could serve as a nursing home in the policy, practice, continuing education and reference arrangements and finally to long-term care and nursing staff required for quality of care

On the Changing Political Structure of the Chu State: From an Archaeological Viewpoint
No full textThe emergence of centralised power and polity has long been a crucial problem in historical studies of Eastern Zhou society, and the conclusions of researchers on whether such centralised power was achieved in the state of Chu 楚 have been divided. One reason for this disagreement is due to the differing state of source materials for the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, making it difficult to grasp continuity in historical phenomena. In this article, the author re-examines the changing structure of the Chu state based on archaeological evidence from bronze vessels excavated in large quantities in the middle Yangzi River region that enables us to perceive temporal changes throughout the whole Eastern Zhou period. On the basis of archaeological analysis, the author draws three major conclusions. 1) The structure of production and distribution of bronze vessels in the Chu state changed drastically from the late Spring and Autumn period to early Warring States period, and a centralised system emerged by the middle of the Warring States period. 2) In the Spring and Autumn period, the Chu state distributed bronze vessels to the neighbouring polities as a strategy of indirect control in a way similar to that of the Western Zhou dynasty, although this strategy changed to direct domination over the entire middle Yangzi River region. 3) The structure of cemeteries of upper-ranking aristocrats changed through the middle of 5ᵗʰ century BC due to the emerging middle classes, who later became the bureaucrats providing the basis of centralised polity established in the middle Warring States period. Based upon these analyses, the author concludes that the political structure of the Chu state was gradually centralised through 5th century BC, which challenges the traditional views on the centralisation of the Chu polity represented by the drastic and short-term reformation by Wu Qi 吳起. This result calls for reconsideration of the “reformations” (變法) of Eastern Zhou societies from multiple points of view including both historical texts and archaeological materials

Chu
No full textMy composition Chu is based on a historical Chinese story of Xiang Yu, which happened during the end of Qin Dynasty over 2000 years ago. It is a three-movement work with dance based on the story. Each movement bears a different title. The first movement is Deadly Folk Song; the second is Until death, faith; the third is Sacrifice beside Wu River. The essential purpose of this composition is to fashion a coherent musical depiction of these events by creating the dramatic atmosphere of the story through orchestration and texture, simulating Chinese national instrumental sounds, and imitating the rhythm of Beijing opera. Historically, there were many versions of the Chu story presented in various art forms. In my work, I sought to make a new version for this story using contemporary composing techniques. This composition shows not only my view and emotion about this story, but also my personal narrative method of my composition. These methods contain different kinds of implications that lead the audience following the storyline. This paper describes the relationship between ancient music, art, and opera, and presents my interpretation of the Chu story. Furthermore, the performing techniques of Chinese national instruments are illustrated to compare these sounds and the sounds of my own work. After completing the composition of these three movements, I realized that it broke the rules of the ancient Chinese music. But at the same time, it kept the charm of the ancient Chinese forms of expression. My goal is to guide the audiences to imagine the Chu story acoustically. This work reveals my long-term interest about how to embed ancient Chinese music elements in contemporary music; in other words, how to make a contemporary Chinese music. After finishing composing such a story, I want to refine my exploration of Chinese musical contexts, abstract these Chinese themes and fuse them into spectral music
