The scheme adjusts the output timing among multiple terminals and keeps the interactivity high. It outputs position information by predicting the future position later than the position included in the last-received information by a fixed amount of time. It also advances the output time of position information at each local terminal by the same amount of time. We deal with two different types of work using haptic media so as to demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme. We assess the output quality of haptic media for the two types of work subjectively and objectively by Quality of Experience (QoE) assessment. We further clarify the relationship between subjective and objective assessment results.展开更多

The review led to a dissatisfactory finding of the low quality of many qualitative evaluation studies due to their insensitivity to the following issues: philosophical basis of the study, auditability (detailed documentation of the participants and data collecting procedure), biases (acknowledgement of biases and preoccupation, and steps to deal with them), credibility or trustworthiness (triangulation, peer checking and participant verification of the findings), consistency (reliability consciousness and audit trails), and critical interpretation of the data (alternative explanations, disconfirming evidence, and limitations of the study). It was recommended that researchers be cautious when utilizing findings from the published qualitative evaluation studies; that social workers be sensitive to the issue of quality when conducting qualitative evaluation studies; that researchers be critical when judging the qualitative evaluation studies in social work; that researchers develop a clear set of guidelines for qualitative studies; that social work training institutes design qualified qualitative research courses; that a database of social work in China be established; that researchers be engaged in more qualitative studies that demonstrate high quality; that myths in qualitative research be debunked; and that adequate training for social workers on qualitative evaluation studies be provided.展开更多

The possibility of determining the statistical characteristics in a multiple intelligences profile of various social groups’ representatives using the vibraimage technology is investigated. Theft and alcohol abuse have been chosen as examples of significant social problems including deviant behavior and the trigger of formation of various socially vulnerable groups. The comparative analysis of conscious and unconscious attitudes in multiple intelligences structure of individuals prone to deviant behavior and the control group allows differentiating professional preferences and the impact of society on different social groups.展开更多

The reliability and accuracy of interpersonal perception in the virtual environment is an intriguing issue. Using the Social relations model (SRM) [1], this paper investigates interpersonal perception in virtual groups from a multilevel perspective. In particular, it examines the following three areas: homophily, identification, and individual attraction, and explores how much of these directional and dyadic relational evaluations can be attributed to the effect of the actor, the partner, and the relationship.展开更多

In this study, system logs from two universities, Dartmouth College and Shanghai Jiao Tong University(SJTU), were mined and analyzed. Every user's log was represented by a user profile. A novel weighted social similarity was proposed to quantify the resemblance of users considering influence of location visits. Based on the similarity, an unsupervised learning method was applied to cluster users. Though environment parameters are different, two universities both form many social groups with Pareto distribution of similarity and exponential distribution of group sizes. These findings are very important to the research of wireless network and social network .展开更多

After the implementation of thetargeted poverty alleviation policy in China, someresults have shown positive. However, due to theshortage of resources and talents for poverty alleviation,there are still some shortcomings in the targeted povertyalleviation work. In the process of targeted povertyalleviation, if we can promote social work to participatein targeted poverty alleviation and use a wider rangeof social forces to provide more professional andtargeted assistance work for the poor, we will achievethe final sprint for the success of targeted povertyalleviation in China and a well-off society. Based onthe actual situation of China’s current targeted povertyalleviation work, this article takes the relationship andcontent of rural social work in Sichuan Province aspart of the targeted poverty alleviation as well as thedifficulties it faces. The analysis focuses on the pathof rural social work in Sichuan Province to targetedpoverty alleviation and aims to provide more referencesuggestions for targeted poverty alleviation in China.展开更多

In view of its negative effect, we put forward several countermeasures from the perspective of social work intervention, such as improving farmers' overall qualities, promoting effective implementation of social security system, and correcting believers' understanding of Christianity. Finally, we introduced situation of Christian faith in other countries and reference and directive significance to China.展开更多

In the perspective of empowerment theory,the marginalized groups need to be integrated into the society on individual,interpersonal,and political levels. On the individual empowerment level,self-efficacy is to be enhanced in the marginalized groups to promote their self-acceptance;on the interpersonal empowerment level,social resources for the marginalized groups are to be expanded through self-help groups so as to build an extensive social support network; on the political empowerment level,it is advocated to improve the relevant legislation and policy support. Social workers and various social parties should work together to create a good environment for the social integration of marginalized groups.展开更多
文摘This paper proposes a group synchronization control scheme with prediction in work using haptic media.

It also advances the output time of position information at each local terminal by the same amount of time.

Social workers and various social parties should work together to create a good environment for the social integration of marginalized groups.
