The Social Work Skills Laboratory underwent a reform to strengthen integration of theory and practice through experiential and reflective learning. In addition to the conventional in-house skills training, students were divided into small groups, each of which worked with a specific target group and organised a field project. Adopting both qualitative and quantitative approaches in the Action L...

By now, most social workers are familiar with the issue of human trafficking. However, many are likely unfamiliar with research indicating that youths constitute the most vulnerable group in the United States for becoming victims of sex trafficking and that most women in prostitution actually entered as minors. Some experts are now referring to the sex trafficking of U.S. children and youths as...

Should you go around and seek fro the book until you really get it? Are you sure? Are you that free? This condition will force you to always end up to get a boo...

We show that the large mixing between νµ and ντ observed by the SuperKamiokande collaboration is a quite natural prediction in a large class of seesaw models. This large mixing is basically due to the unparallel family structure suggested from the observed mass hierarchies in quark and lepton mass matrices. We show that the unparallel family structure is automatically realized in " coset-space ...

Family Discussion Bureau, which hypothesizes that basic psychoanalytical knowledge may be applied in a social work setting, and the team approach used in Child Guidance may be adapted for use an agency dealing with marital difficulties. The first two chapters deal with the history and development of the Bureau, its organisation, and the training of the social workers, with a careful discussion ...

Evidence-based practice integrates individual practitioner expertise with the best available evidence while also considering the values and expectations of clients. Research can be categorized into two broad areas: primary (experiments, clinical trials, and surveys) and secondary research (overviews of major studies, practice guidelines, and decision and economic analyses). One of the major cha...

Constraints on the core temperature (T c) of the Sun and on neutrino-oscillation parameters are obtained from the existing solar neutrino data, including the recent GALLEX and Kamiokande III results. (1) A purely astrophysical solution to the solar neutrino problem is strongly disfavored by the data: the best fit in a cooler Sun model requires an 8% reduction in T c , but the χ 2 test rejects t...
