Family Context and Childhood Adjustment Associated with Intrafamilial Unwanted Sexual Attention

Unwanted sexual attention (UWSA) encompasses unsolicited verbal comments, gestures, stares, and other noncontact behaviors made regarding one's sexuality and physical appearance. The present study examined the correlates and impact of such UWSA perpetrated toward girls by family members. The first objective of the study was to explore whether family climate is associated with intrafamilial UWSA. This included looking at three types of dysfunctional parenting styles (unaffectionate, unavailable, and patriarchal) as well as exploring the co-occurrence of UWSA by adult and child relatives. The second objective was to then measure the impact of such intrafamilial UWSA on childhood emotional health, after controlling for parenting style and the experience of more traditional forms of child sexual abuse (CSA). Of the 296 university women (mean age = 19) who participated in the study, 70% (N = 206) reported UWSA from a family member prior to age 18. Whereas each dysfunctional parenting style was related to presence of UWSA, a simultaneous multiple regression analysis indicated that two of the parenting styles, patriarchal and parental unavailability, also predicted frequency of nonphysical UWSA within the family. Presence of UWSA from a child relative was significantly correlated with presence of UWSA from an adult relative. Additionally, a hierarchical multiple regression, entering the three parenting styles simultaneously in the first step, childhood sexual abuse in the second step, and familial UWSA in the last step, indicated that the frequency of UWSA by family members significantly predicted poorer childhood mental health when controlling for the other variables. Overall, results indicate that while the specific parenting styles which co-occur with UWSA may be detrimental in their own right, the impact of UWSA on girls appears to be above and beyond that of either parenting styles or CSA. Clinical implications are discussed.     

欧盟“刑事司法区”述评

自建设欧盟"刑事司法区"理念提出以来,欧盟成员国致力于加强彼此之间的刑事合作。在欧盟宪法性条约的导引下,欧盟及其成员国通过制定与实施一系列重点行动计划及项目,在引渡、刑事互助、刑事判决的相互承认等方面取得了突破,一个欧盟范围内的"刑事司法区"正在形成。     

堆型艾美球虫广东株3-1E基因的克隆与序列分析

根据GenBank中登录的堆型艾美球虫31E基因序列,设计了3条引物,以广东株堆型艾美球虫裂殖子总RNA为模板,利用反转录聚合酶链反应(RTPCR)扩增获得了31E基因部分片段,将这一片段克隆至pGEMTEasy载体中,经PCR、限制性内切酶分析和克隆片段的序列测定、比较,证实了克隆片段的可靠性。序列比较发现,所克隆的基因片段与Eimeriaacervulina美国株(US)、E.acervulinaQH株31EcDNA的核苷酸同源性分别为99.0%和99.2%,推导氨基酸的同源性分别为98.2%和97.6%。     

自行车交通事故推断交通方式1例

自行车交通事故中为明确责任大小,往往需要先明确横穿公路者交通方式是骑行还是推行,由于一些客观条件限制,证人证言、现场痕迹等证据不能明确该关键点,这就需要从尸体上寻找相关证据。笔者曾根据现场车辆碰撞痕迹及尸检所见,运用法医学知识,判断死者交通方式1例,现报道如下。案例资料死者吴某,女,31岁。2003年4月8日11时15分,与其丈夫一前一后骑自行车,当到达一划有人行横道线路口时,吴某先横穿道路,被一辆小货车碰撞,经抢救无效死亡。由于证人证言出现矛盾,推行还是骑行无法确定,如骑行,应负次要或同等责任,如推行,则无责任。现场勘查:自…     

The diagnosis of the mechanisms of bone tissue destruction from the surface of the break]

Data on bone tissue fractography are summarized and systematized. Possibilities of a microscopic fractography method in analysis of skeletal bone fractures in order to determine conditions of traumatic exposure were shown. Destruction of bone tissue is considered from the point of view of fragile and tough destruction using as a model solid body with crack at the top of which deformations of detachment, lateral and longitudinal shifts are acting. Morphologic features for different types of destruction were singled out. Use of these features may help to determine character and type of deformation at concrete areas of fracture during all destruction process.     

SPLIT IDENTITY AND CHILDREN OF DIVORCE

Divorce, although a statistical norm, is a developmental trauma to the children involved. This article looks at the two-camp emotional environment of a divorcing family and its effect on the formation of a child's identity. By examining developmental ages, chosen according to divorce research, the author attempts to show how the interspouse emotional cathexes negatively affect a child's sense of self in ways specific to the child's age at the divorce.     

Indigenismo and the Avant‐garde: Jorge Sanjinés' Early Films and the National Project

Jorge Sanjinés' 1960s films Revolución and Ukamau challenge the class and ethnic hierarchies of Bolivian society by casting the proletarian and indigenous masses as revolutionary liberators. The new national imaginary they evoke is tightly bound to the experimental cinematic techniques they employ, since their rejection of rationalist, realist aesthetics signals a partial undermining of the linear time of the modern nation. Ukamau both recalls and resists previous Bolivian indigenismo, which sought to co‐opt the Indian into a national mestizo consciousness. Its exoticist portrayal of the Indian ultimately limits its political effectiveness, but textual and contextual analyses show subversive Indian agency leaking through.     

Effect of carcass size on rate of decomposition and arthropod succession patterns.

Decomposition studies were conducted using two carcasses of domestic pigs, Sus scrofa L., 8.4 kg and 15.1 kg in weight, to determine the effects of carcass size on the rate of decomposition, composition of the arthropod fauna, and succession patterns. A total of 46 arthropod taxa were recovered during this study. No size-related differences were observed between carcasses with respect to composition of the arthropod fauna or patterns of succession. A greater number of arthropods were observed attracted to the 15.1-kg carcass, and the rate of decomposition observed was more rapid for the 15.1-kg carcass than for the 8.4-kg carcass. Internal temperatures of the 8.4-kg carcass were more directly related to external ambient temperatures during the fresh and bloated stages of decomposition. During the decay stage, both carcasses generated internal temperatures significantly above ambient temperatures. Following this stage, internal temperatures fell to approximate ambient temperatures during the postdecay and remains stages.
