Diagnosing "dayans" and "demons"

The new ?Witch Craft Prevention Bill? prohibiting witch hunting was passed in Bihar, India, in reaction to the branding and subsequent killing of more than 500 helpless women as "dayans" (witches) in the past 7 years. Most of them were single, widows, or deserted women victimized by the pathological greed of some of the male members of their families or by some powerful persons in the village community interested in claiming their property. Even with the passage of the bill, though, most of these crimes will remain unpunished because the community is an accomplice in them, and they tend not to be reported. What is needed overall is socioeconomic and political development that will lead to the empowerment of women to ensure that there will be an end to the cruel and inhuman activities (such as witch hunting) instigated by traditional healers or "Ojhas".

申康的"狠"与"敢"

申康的"狠"手段 申康在医院建设过程中加强财务人员的管理制度,特别是对于财务监理的严格管理.导致申康下"狠手"的原因是"九五"、"十五"期间医院建筑项目超投资严重、资金监管不到位的弊病. 在申康成立之前,医院的建设资金并没有一个单位进行统一的管理,实际上是由医院自己在管理自己,通常的情况是市级财政资金划拨到卫生局,由卫生局下发到医院,无论是在投资控制上还是在资金管理上都比较薄弱.     

"产业化"与"市场化"的错位

医疗改革之弊,也许在于过度的“市场化”而非产业化。如果不对这两个概念加以区别,将棒子打在“产业化”上,其结果有可能贻害相关领域的改革深化

目的评价耐多药结核病患者“知、信、行”护理干预模式的效果。方法将60例耐多药结核病患者随机分成研究组和对照组各30例,对照组采用规则抗结核治疗和常规护理,研究组实施“知、信、行”护理干预。结果研究组知识、信念、行为明显高于对照组;12个月痰菌阴转率为83．3％、患者病灶吸收率81．3％、空洞闭合率55．6％,明显高于对照组;二者与对照组比较差异有显著意义。结论采用“知、信、行”护理干预模式,能有效地提高耐多药结核病患者的治疗疗效,改善其生活质量。     

The use of "impotence" and "frigidity": why has "impotence" survived

The negative connotations and decreased utility of the terms "impotence" and "frigidity" prompted an investigation of their use in the literature. Psychological Abstracts were reviewed from 1940 to 1983 for titles containing these terms. It was found that both impotence and frigidity titles fluctuated at low levels from 1940 to 1969. Frigidity titles then increased slightly, but dropped to zero after 1979. Impotence titles, however, have continued to increase at a significant rate. Classic sexual behavior and therapy works are reviewed to explain this discrepancy since both terms are equally inappropriate.     

"不要"

儿子刚满20个月,已经会叫“爸爸”、“妈妈”了,除此之外呢,儿子还会说一个字——“要”,带他到超市里去买东西,他总会指着里面琳琅满目的商品不住地冲我嘀咕“要要要”,带他到朋友家里去做客聊天,看到朋友家里的小饰物小玩具小摆设等,他会不动声响地拿起来玩,如果从他手里夺走,他又会在那里嘟噜“要要要”,即便是在花园或者路边散步,看到人家陌生人手里拿着的东西,儿子也会“要要要”,所有这些倘若有一项不能满足他“要”的要求,他就会大哭大闹的。
