Inclusion criteria Publications whose abstracts contained a minimum of two of the following words: (a) support or network or solidarity, (b) violence and (c) recovery or healing. Data extraction and synthesis Of the 273 documents retrieved, 52 were used using a narrative synthesis approach. Main results For recovery, women must reconnect with themselves, with their environment and with the world in …

Assessing drugs of abuse distribution in Turia River based on geographic information system and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry

2017

Drugs of abuse are continuously discharged into wastewaters as part of their elimination process. Pollution at very low concentrations appears to be broad in environmental compartments near populated areas. A total of 42 drugs of abuse and metabolites were analysed in surface water samples collected in 2012 and 2013 by solid phase extraction and liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Analytical results of target compounds were georeferenced and integrated into a geographical information systems (GIS). Ecotoxicological risk of drugs of abuse detected in the Turia River was evaluated in this study by calculating risk quotient (RQ). In 2012, 6 compounds were detected in a total of…

Relación entre el consumo de sustancias tóxicas y el uso del preservativo

2019

En los últimos años ha habido un repunte en las infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITS). Tradicionalmente, se asociaban las ITS a ciertos colectivos. Sin embargo, se observa que esta acentuación se da en diferentes grupos poblacionales, y es debida principalmente a las conductas sexuales de riesgo que se realizan, las cuales son exacerbadas por ciertos factores, como el consumo de sustancias tóxicas, la baja percepción de riesgo o la búsqueda de sensaciones sexuales. El principal objetivo es comprobar la relación existente entre el consumo de sustancias y el uso del preservativo en distintas prácticas sexuales. Como objetivos secundarios, se estudiarán estas mismas relaciones en función del…

Mothers who killed or attempted to kill their child: life circumstances, childhood abuse, and types of killing.

1999

The objectives of the present study were to examine the life circumstances, childhood abuse, and types of homicidal acts of 48 mothers who killed/attempted to kill their children) under age 12 between 1970-96 in Finland. Data on the mothers’ life stresses, psychological problems, and childhood abuse were collected from mental state examination (MSE) reports. The cases were divided into 15 neonaticides and 33 mothers who killed an older child. Childhood abuse was documented in 63% of the mothers’ MSE reports. Qualitative analysis identified neonaticides, joint homicide-suicide attempts, impulsive aggression, psychotic acts, postpartum depression, and abusive acts. Nonlinear principal compone…

Not Only Slurs. A Pragma-rhetorical Approach to Verbal Abuse

2019

The topic of this paper is the complex phenomenon of verbal abuse. The aim is to show the productivity of a pragma-rhetorical approach in addressing this issue. Indeed, integrating modern pragmatics with classical rhetoric, this approach does not isolate words from social practices and therefore is not exclusively focused on slurs (as is the case in the current debate on this topic in the field of the philosophy of language) but it concerns verbal abuse in general. I argue that this wider approach, especially thanks to its focus on the intertwining of linguistic and social components, is more adapted to shedding light on the role that words play in performing violence. Particularly, I take …

Aberrant probabilistic reinforcement learning in first-degree relatives of individuals with bipolar disorder

2020

Contains fulltext : 215845.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Background: Motivational dysregulation represents a core vulnerability factor for bipolar disorder. Whether this also comprises aberrant learning of stimulus-reinforcer contingencies is less clear. Methods: To answer this question, we compared healthy first-degree relatives of individuals with bipolar disorder (n = 42) known to convey an increased risk of developing a bipolar spectrum disorder and healthy individuals (n = 97). Further, we investigated the effects of the behavioral activation system (BAS) on reinforcement learning across the entire sample. All participants were assessed with a probabilistic learning task t…

Effects of DARSI Intervention Program on Adolescents'Perceptions of Love, Tolerance toward Abuse and Dating Violence Perpetration

2022

Teen dating violence is a serious problem and intervention programs aimed at reducing this violence and helping adolescents to develop healthier romantic relationships are needed. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of the DARSI program on the development of a more adequate perception of love, the reduction of tolerance toward abuse in romantic relationships, and the reduction of the perpetration of dating violence in adolescents. The sample consisted of 129 adolescents, aged 12 to 17 years (M = 14.05, SD = 1.08). A repeated measures (pre-test and post-test) quasi-experimental design with an intervention group and a control group was used to assess the effects of the progr…

Nicotina y modelos animales: ¿qué nos aporta el paradigma de enriquecimiento ambiental?

2012

El Enriquecimiento Ambiental (Environmental Enrichment o EE) es un modelo de alojamiento basada en la estimulacion a nivel fisico, cognitivo y sensorial de roedores. Esta condicion se caracteriza por el alojamiento de un grupo de animales en cajas grandes que contienen distintos objetos como tuneles, juguetes y ruedas de correr. El principal objetivo del presente trabajo es plantear los principales argumentos que sugieren que el alojamiento en condiciones de EE puede disminuir la vulnerabilidad a desarrollar adiccion a la nicotina y a otras drogas de abuso, asi como revisar estudios experimentales recientes relacionados con este area. Con este fin, se presenta una revision de los principale…

Violent and/or delinquent women: a vision from the biopsychosocial perspective

2016

Violence and/or delinquency in women have been masked to some extent by society. Thus, the main goal of this work is to deeply analyse the published works on these matters, in order to understand this phenomenon from a neurobiological perspective. Firstly, the theory of the cycle of violence as a facilitating mechanism of violence in women will be analysed, with a special emphasis on neuroanatomical correlates. Subsequently, the relation between drug consumption and violence in women will be explained. Finally, the main biological correlates known as facilitating mechanisms of violence in women will be exhaustively described. The main risk factors for the facilitation of violence and/or del…
