Neuropsychological functioning in child sexual abusers: A systematic review

2020

Abstract Impairments in neuropsychological functioning are emphasized among the core components in etiological models about sexual offending against children. In order to distinguish those neuropsychological deficits that can specifically be found in child sexual abusers, the present systematic review summarizes all studies published between 1980 and 2019 comparing neuropsychological functions of child sexual abusers with different control groups. The databases PubMed, Google scholar, and PsycInfo were used to find relevant studies. After applying certain inclusion criteria (e.g., at least one comparison group), 25 studies were identified as being relevant for the present review. Most evide…

The role of the silicatein-alpha interactor silintaphin-1 in biomimetic biomineralization.

2008

Biosilicification in sponges is initiated by formation of proteinaceous filaments, predominantly consisting of silicateins. Silicateins enzymatically catalyze condensation of silica nanospheres, resulting in symmetric skeletal elements (spicules). In order to create tailored biosilica structures in biomimetic approaches it is mandatory to elucidate proteins that are fundamental for the assembly of filaments. Silintaphin-1 is a core component of modularized filaments and also part of a spicule-enfolding layer. It bears no resemblance to other proteins, except for the presence of an interaction domain that is fundamental for its function as scaffold/template. In the presence of silicatein sil…

‘Strange old Italian dresses’: Walter Pater, Victorian fashionista?

2019

This article discusses Aesthetic dress as conceived by Walter Pater. Indeed in “Leonardo Da Vinci” (1869), the unfinished Gaston de Latour (1888-1894?), “The School of Giorgione” (1877) and “A Prince of Court Painters” (1885), Pater mentions and describes dress with special emphasis on details. Such descriptions belong to a series of writings on Aesthetic dress, admittedly a core component of British Aestheticism. Pater’s descriptions should therefore be contrasted to the 1870s portraits of Whistler, and to the 1880s-1890s writings of Whistler, Oscar Wilde and Max Beerbohm, along with the caricatures of Aesthetes by George du Maurier and Sir Leslie Ward. Pater responds by progressively deli…

Health literacy as a learning outcome in schools

2012

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to define health literacy as a learning outcome in schools, and to describe the learning conditions that are relevant for targeting health literacy.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws on theoretical and empirical educational literature, and also the experiences of the authors.FindingsHealth literacy is defined as consisting of five core components: theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge, critical thinking, self‐awareness, and citizenship. The first three components are rather similar to the commonly‐accepted health literacy concept, but the definition given in this paper expands the concept via two additional – but essential – components. It is emp…
