The large growing number of the population of the new immigrant women¡¦s children gives rise to the wide spread attention of the social and education researchers to their studying performance and life-adjustment. This study adopts content analysis method to analyze and sort the 101 studies of MA theses and PhD dissertations during 2001-2006. The purpose of this study is to understand the content of the past studies about the new immigrant women¡¦s children, including the trend, the object, the subject, the approach, the region and the result. Furthermore, standing on the conclusion, this study would give some suggestions to the governments and related organizations. There are several main conclusions and suggestions as follows: 1.Conclusions (1)The objects and the study approaches of these studies have more variety than before. (2)The number of the object of the studies about the new immigrant women¡¦s children and their parents is more than others. (3)The subject of the studies about life-adjustment of the new immigrant women¡¦s children¡¦s is more than others. (4)Conducting the quantification study approach is more favorable than other choices. (5)The number of the studies in south of Taiwan is a little more than the north of Taiwan and much more than other regions of Taiwan. (6)The conclusions of 101 studies are positive in terms of self-concept, life-adjustment and interpersonal relationship. However, these studies still don¡¦t have any final conclusion of studying performance and development of new immigrant women¡¦s children. 2.Suggestions (1)The government should advocate the concept of the multi-culture education more often. (2)School should set up the policy to revise the student number in each class. Teachers should establish the good communication network to promote the interaction between the teachers and the parents of new immigrant women¡¦s children positively. (3)In the future, the further studies would be expected to publish the object of the teachers, the comparative studies about foreign and Taiwanese students, and the study regions might focus on middle and eastern of Taiwan.

Magister Legum - LLM / This thesis examines the sexual rights violation in Eastern DRC, which has been described as the worst in the world. The sexual violence against women and children in this country is systematic and widespread and perpetrated by armed groups, and increasingly also by civilians. The prosecution of sexual offences should contribute to the reduction of these offences, but the Congolese state prosecutes very few cases. The resulting impunity became an obstacle to the state to stop sexual violence, which become unable to overcome the obstacles to prosecutorial action. The successful prosecution of sexual offenders in Eastern DRC faces many obstacles and requires an exceptional jurisdiction which must provide a minimum of better freely conditions to the prosecutors and better unrestrained justice access to the victims. The enforcement of the international instruments of justice will be possible only by this jurisdiction. The victims of sexual violence need more confidence in the jurisdiction which is really working for them to attain justice.

One of the fastest growing segments of the homeless population in the United States is families, with women and their children heading up to 90% of these families. African-Americans represent a disproportionate number within the homeless population. Homelessness is a devastating experience for women and their children who often seek an emergency homeless shelter as their only option for temporary housing. This grounded theory study explored how homeless African-American mothers and their children defined their health and managed and obtained their health for themselves and their children within the context of an emergency homeless shelter. The grounded theory of Layered Stressors emerged after fifteen homeless African-American mothers were interviewed. Health was perceived by the participants as “having your own.” In the first stage, a perceived “loss of self-control” or loss of autonomy was given over to the shelter. In the second stage, homeless mothers experienced layered stressors which consisted of “following the shelter’s rules,” “living with strangers,” “mothering in public,” “changed behaviors of their children,” “smoking more,” “feeling trapped, helpless and powerless,” “shared infectious illnesses.” Chronic stress affects an individual’s physical, psychological and social make-up and may contribute to allostatic load, the cumulative biologic burden exacted on the body and brain. McEwen (2002) described allostatis, and allostatic load as stressors. Allostatic load may contribute to chronic medical illnesses.
