Important Significance

Abstract: At the end of the last century, China introduced reflective teaching from the West, and formed a good reflective teaching trend in the field of education in China. Chinese educators began to conduct research and practice on reflective teaching, which has important significance for the development of reflective teaching in China. In the current perspective, reflective teaching has already had a certain impact on the teaching of foreign linguistics courses. However, these foreign linguistics courses must continuously be reformed accordingly to better cultivate applied talents. This article explores and analyzes the important role of reflective teaching and the problems existing in the current teaching of foreign linguistics courses in China, and proposes effective ways for reforming reflective teaching and foreign linguistics' curriculum, in the hope of contributing to the improvement of the quality of foreign linguistics courses.

Education In China

In the new century, the quantity and quality of empirical education research in China have been greatly improved, and more people are paying attention to and engaging in evidence-based research and practice in education. In this context, Professor Robert Slavin, a well- known expert in evidence-based education at Johns Hopkins University in the United States, contributed greatly to the guidance and assistance to the development of evidence-based education in China. He clarified some vague understandings of Chinese scholars on the research and reform of evidence-based education, trained and instructed Chinese scholars and students, and built a platform for exchanges between Chinese and foreign scholars, which has played an inestimable role in promoting the development of evidence-based education in China.

Aims and MethodA questionnaire survey of general adult psychiatric consultants and specialist registrars in the West Midlands was conducted to examine attitudes towards New Ways of Working (NWW) for psychiatrists; these were measured using a 5-point Likert scale. Participants were also asked about their own experiences of NWW. the data were analysed using Mann–Whitney U-test.ResultsThe response rate was 31.2%. Attitudes were generally negative, particularly regarding the effect on patient care, the erosion of the professional role of the consultant and effect on quality of work life. the attitudes of those who did not have any direct experience of working to the NWW models were more negative than those who had direct experience of NWW.Clinical ImplicationsThere are significant concerns about NWW among consultants and specialist registrars. There is a need for further debate and research with regard to the proposals.

The Relationship

Although there is a growing consensus that including natural supports in the employment process is an important goal, there is considerable debate about the definition and appropriate role of these supports. This manuscript clarifies and extends current definitions of natural supports and proposes a working model to guide future research and practice. Primary emphasis is placed on natural supports as a desired outcome of successful employment rather than a distinct model for support and as a contributing factor to higher level outcomes such as quality of life. From both a researcher's and a practitioner's perspective there is a need to shift emphasis from competing models of employment support to developing a better understanding of the relationship between specific job coach interventions and the desired outcome of effective natural support.

Do Men in Prison Have Nothing to Lose but Their Manhood? Masculinities of Prisoners and Officers in a Ukrainian Correctional Colony

The article sets out to show how power and identity intertwine. Its close look at Ukrainian prison culture complements a recent string of studies in the “West” by demonstrating the nuanced role of violence and masculinity in men’s prisons. Whereas much of the extant literature links prison violence to a hypermasculine culture, this article, based on a semiethnographic study in Ukraine, details how a masculine-centered, hierarchical prisoner structure curtails violence. Even so, prisoners are forced to exercise masculine agility, as their provisional manliness determines their place in the hierarchy and thus, by extension, their quality of life. I explore how prisoners and officers construct, prove, and maintain their masculine identities in a milieu of rigid structures and limited resources. I demonstrate how masculine models and discourses are diverse, dynamic, and contested and argue that men as agents tap into them to frame flexible identities to suit their needs.

Abstract Harmonious planning of agro-forestry landscapes plays a increasing role in building a social satisfaction flowing from the high quality of the environment on the rural areas. It is also a very good way to create a unique place identity of protected areas, rest areas etc. especially valuable regions. The objectives of the paper are: 1) elaboration the method of evaluation and mapping the physiognomic landscape composition on the rural areas with a high natural values; 2) testing this method on dominated by forests, peatbogs and arable lands the central part of the West Polesie UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (Eastern Poland); 3) formulation of guidelines on the design of landscape interiors and view openings composition, highlighting the unique features of West Polesie landscape and building a sense of the place identity; 4) to show the necessary to enshrine the values of physiognomic landscape composition in land use policy. In evaluation and mapping the landscape composition, a special attention was paid to the role of agro-forest ecotones. The results of the research part of the study as well as a guidelines on landscape design have been presented in the form of a map, study figures and a description.

In order to speed up the development of education, we should give full play to the positive role of “Internet + education”, promote educational fairness, improve the quality of educational public service, curriculum reform and so on. At present, there are some problems in education in our country, such as uneven distribution of educational resources, unbalanced development of teaching level, backward educational methods and means, etc. But borrowing “Internet + education” can be well solved and promote the rapid development of education in China. Based on the previous research foundation and the conclusion of a large number of research data analysis, this paper puts forward some suggestions for the development of Internet + Education.

The Impact

Nurses prepared in research and practice focused doctoral programs make important contributions to the development and implementation of the science that shapes nursing practice. This article explores the different, yet complementary roles that PhD and DNP prepared nurses make to the scholarship of discovery within the discipline of nursing. The impact of translational research, implementation science, and improvement science on the quality of healthcare is explored, along with the possibilities presented by big data. Examples of successful collaborations are highlighted, including opportunities for DNP and PhD faculty to advance scholarship and research. The authors consider the context of these roles in both research and practice and academia.

This article introduces Cognitive Health Counseling 40+ (CH.CO40+), an individualized intervention that is conceptually based on the orchestration model of quality-of-life management ( Martin & Kliegel, 2010 ) and aims at improving satisfaction with cognitive health in adults aged 40 years and older. We describe the theoretically deduced characteristics of CH.CO40+, its target group, its multifactorial nature, its individualization, the application of subjective and objective measures, the role of participants as agents of change, and the rationale for choosing participants’ satisfaction with their cognitive health as main outcome variable. A pilot phase with 15 middle-aged and six older adults suggests that CH.CO40+ attracts, and may be particularly suitable for, subjective memory complainers. Implications of the pilot data for the further development of the intervention are discussed.
