The State And Women In Modern Japan: Feminist Discourses In The Meiji And Taisho Eras, Barbara Molony

History

The relationship of women to the Japanese state has been the object of much discussion in Japanese studies in recent years. To be sure, there are as many ways to approach this topic as there are conceptions of ‘the state’ and of ’women.’ Both of these terms are embedded in complicated and historically contingent discourse fields, making it impossible to posit just one or two types of relationships linking the two categories, as they are not fixed. Some scholars look at women as the target of government policies;1 some examine women as agents of some part of the state;2 some …

Getting Old In The U.S.: Dilemmas Of Indo-Americans, Pallassana R. Balgopal

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Adapting to old age is an arduous task in every society. For Asian immigrants because of drastically different value systems getting old in the U.S. poses a number of dilemmas. For the Indo-American elderly and their families a major dilemma is whether to expect and abide by the value orientation of collectivism or follow the main stream American value of individualism. In this study the ethnographic approach operationalized through Interpretive Interactionism for an understanding of the interaction between the elderly and their families and their overall coping and adaptation process in the United States is presented.

The Use Of Senior Volunteers In The Care Of Discharged Geriatric Patients, Iryna M. Dulka, Mark J. Yaffe, Benita Goldin, William S. Rowe

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This article reports on a project that utilized senior volunteers in the role of health advocates for geriatric patients discharged from a hospital. The project was evaluated to determine if healthy and active seniors could make a contribution to the health and social welfare of such discharged elderly persons. The study was conducted in Montreal, Canada and funded by a federal grant from Health Canada. The research collaborators came from a 414-bed secondary care university-affiliated community hospital, a community social service agency with a mandate to respond to the needs of its frail elderly constituents, and a university-based research centre

Policy Implications Of Australian Ageing: The Greying Of A Young Society, John Mccallum

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Australian population ageing is moderate by Western country standards but there are major issues emerging in national policy debates. The proportions 65+ will double and the proportions 85+ will more than quadruple by 2050. The first concern is the long-term trend to earlier retirement from work along with a nearly universal dependency on publicly funded age pensions rather than on private savings and superannuation. New mandatory superannuation guarantee scheme will ease some of the financial pressure from income dependency. Secondly heart, musculoskeletal, cancers, mental illness and digestive diseases are high cost conditions but musculoskeletal and mental conditions are a higher …

Religion, Adversity And Age: Religious Experiences Of Low-Income Elderly Women, Amanda Smith Barusch

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Elders throughout the world turn to religious organizations and rely on religious beliefs to cope with both the routine challenges of daily life and the hardships brought on by severe adversity. Hundreds of studies have documented a positive association between health or well-being and religious participation. Yet few have examined religious experiences of the elderly themselves. In-depth consideration of these experiences might shed light on the contribution of religion to individual lives. This study examines religious experiences of women living in poverty in the United States. Results underscore the deep-seated religious commitment of this group. The dominant theme, mentioned more …

Population Aging, Changes In Living Arrangement, And The New Long-Term Care System In Japan, Wataru Koyano

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

During the last five decades, family life of the Japanese elderly and longterm care have drastically changed. As a response to the rapid population aging and the increasing difficulty of family care, a new universalistic system of long-term care services is going to be introduced in 2000. The new system, called the Insurance Against Care, acknowledges societal responsibility for long-term care, and guarantees a certain level of provision of care services. While the insurance is a response to the changes in family life of the elderly, symbolized by the decrease of co-residence with adult children, it may further stimulate and …

A Primer On 11 U.S.C. § 328(A) And Its Use In Alternative Billing Methods In Bankruptcy, Robert J. Landry Iii, James R. Higdon

Mercer Law Review

Compensation of attorneys and professionals in the bankruptcy field is one of the most written about areas in bankruptcy law. Professionals, both familiar and unfamiliar with the mandates of the Bankruptcy Code and Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, are having an increasingly difficult time obtaining approval for the envisioned compensation. Problems generally do not arise for debtors' attorneys in the run-of-the-mill Chapter 7 case or Chapter 13 case. Flat fees are charged in most of these cases, and applications to employ debtors' attorneys are not filed. Therefore, retention orders are not entered. However, outside the run-of-the-mill Chapter 7 or 13 …
