Toward a Gendered Social Bond/Male Peer Support Theory of University Woman Abuse

Despite many calls for integratedwoman abuse theories, few have made any suchattempts. Taking as a starting point thatgender blind and conservative theories maystill have some value, Hirschi's social bondtheory is examined with insights from feministmale peer support theory and other criticalperspectives. The goal is not a formal newtheory but rather a heuristic designed to showthe value of adding feminist insight to genderblind theory. Hirschi is turned upside downhere with an argument that attachment andinvolvement with conventional peers may in factpromulgate violence against women thecollege campuses when it is noted thatconventional institutions are patriarchal andpart of a rape culture. University groups(social fraternities, sports teams, etc.) mayenforce adherence through homophobia and grouppressure, while promoting a hypermasculineculture that encourages men to use coercion andforce to increase their count of sexualencounters.     

Ocular findings in pediatric deaths under 2 years of age (1994-2004)

Abstract:  Our purpose is to highlight novel ocular findings of 102 forensic pediatric cases under 2 years of age who die suddenly. Forensic information, grossing, and microscopic eye protocol was followed. The most common diagnosis was Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) (57/102). Novel cytoid bodies were present in the retina of 72/102 cases and they were located predominantly 90% (65/72) at the anterior part of the retina ( p  < 0.001). Of the SIDS cases, 85% (47/57) showed the presence of cytoid bodies, and among all diagnosis, SIDS was the most associated with cytoid bodies ( p  = 0.003). A second observation was extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) identified in 35/102 cases and 22 of the 57 SIDS cases. The most frequent EMH location was the choroids (29/35). This study is the first to demonstrate the presence of cytoid bodies and extramedullary hematopoiesis in the retinas of SIDS cases and children who die suddenly from other causes.     

Transparenz und Kontrolle bei related party transactions: Verträge der Gesellschaft mit ihrem Aufsichtsratsmitglied

Gesch?fte der Gesellschaft mit einem Aufsichtsratsmitglied müssen dem Aufsichtsrat vorgelegt werden und bedürfen seiner Zustimmung. Damit sollen Interessenkonflikte vermieden und Transparenz hergestellt werden. Der Beitrag geht folgenden Fragen nach: Wen trifft die Pflicht zur Information? Wie genau ist der Aufsichtsrat über diese Gesch?fte zu informieren? Welche Stimmverbote bestehen? Welche Konsequenzen k?nnen sich daraus für die Beschlussf?higkeit ergeben? Welche Rechtsfolgen l?st die Nichtbeachtung der gesetzlichen Anforderungen aus? Schlie?lich wird die nicht ausreichend geregelte Situation der Arbeitnehmervertreter untersucht.
