In some heavily affected countries, married women have higher rates of HIV infection than their unmarried, sexually active peers. Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General, World AIDS Day 2004.
Adhering to the teachings of the Church, we determined to engage more deeply in challenging cultures and traditions which stifle the humanity of women and deprive them of equal rights. We agreed that our greatest challenge is to nurture and equip our children to protect themselves from HIV, so that we can fulfil the vision of building a generation without AIDS. Pastoral Letter from the Primates of the Anglican Communion, 27 May 2003.

IMPLICATIONS
These findings provide insight for national bodies, universities, educators, practitioners, sector partners, and researchers into the study realities of Australian social work students.
Reviewing policy, practice, and education in light of the findings can help contribute to a healthier, diverse social work profession.
The changes that are on the way as a result of the envisaged “green revolution” need a broad vision that couples the economy of energetic techniques with the related socio-cultural economy that is induced by, and at the same time reciprocally influences, the mere technical transformations.
Based on previous analysis of theories of socio-technological change and putting at its center the concept of subjectivation in social sciences, this article proposes a theoretical understanding of cultural shifts and their relationship with changes in the practices of production, transfer and use of energy.
First part presents a schema of subjectivation in triangulation, that links the biological level with the material culture and with the representational realm of normativities in our society. It will be developed through the example of electric vehicle as metaphor of the energetic transition. Through this understanding, second part deals with the modeling of the three items as a processual energetic system by using the concepts of surplus and expenditure. Within this frame, we show how disruptions in one of the poles of this model influences the others and bring about changes in the entire Anthropo-Social level. Third part proposes possible types of emerging subjectivities and advances the idea of extending the realm of consciousness to the energetic transfers and their potentiality. 相似文献

The main objective of this article is to analyze how young people navigate between different messages in the drug landscape, and what kind of knowledge and practical strategies they use and develop in relation to drugs and drug use.
The study was performed in Sweden. The empirical data consist of qualitative interviews with young adults, ages 18–26. On the basis of this data, we identify four interactive and partly overlapping themes that constitute ‘junctions’ of navigation: (1) knowledge as compass; (2) the power of the drug – the individual's power to resist; (3) the power of context and relationships; and (4) legal frameworks and personal morals. We also discuss what the implications of the results of this study are for the work with young people. 相似文献
Eighteen schools with varying percentages of immigrants and of various location and size were selected to test the effectiveness of an art program rooted in the cultural heritage of the countries of origin. Music, dance and theatre from Asia, Africa and Latin‐America were presented by renowned artists from the countries represented, supported by immigrant teachers and culture workers.
The results of the study revealed significant improvement in the social milieu of participating classes and schools, with a lessening of conflict and harassment. The program was also seen to foster self‐esteem and the development of individuality among immigrant children.
As a result of the project a Norwegian Multicultural Music Centre was established in 1992, and the programming of State supported school concerts was extended in an intercultural direction. 相似文献
IMPLICATIONS
A national audit of 20 child protection case files using the Safe and Together case-reading process indicated that documented child protection practice sits at the lower end of a domestic and family violence-informed Continuum of Practice.
Analysis indicates a need to improve: child protection engagement with fathers who use DFV, assessments of their parenting role and its impact on children and family functioning; identification of adult survivors’ protective capacities and their impact on children.
Research in this area may have broader implications for other professions and government policy both nationally and internationally.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the literature on the association between LUTS and falls, injuries, and fractures in community-dwelling older men. Medline, Embase, and Cinahl were searched for any type of observational study that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal in English language. Studies were excluded if they did not report male-specific data or targeted specific patient populations. Results were summarized qualitatively.
Results: Three prospective cohort studies and six cross-sectional studies were identified. Incontinence, urgency, nocturia, and frequency were consistently shown to have weak to moderate association with falls (the point estimates of odds ratio and relative risk ranged from 1.31 to 1.67) in studies with low risk of bias for confounding. Only frequency was shown to be associated with fractures.
Conclusions: Urinary incontinence and lower urinary tract storage symptoms are associated with falls in community-dwelling older men. The circumstances of falls in men with LUTS need to be investigated to generate hypotheses about what types of interventions may be effective in reducing falls. 相似文献

IMPLICATIONS
Young people's competence in decision-making depends on a range of individual, familial, and social factors, and individualised guidance is necessary to support their participation.
A supportive, trusting relationship with an adult provides the best environment for balancing vulnerable young peoples’ participation rights with their continuing needs for protection.
The policy and practice challenge is to harness digital technologies without being distracted from the importance of relationship-based work.
This article reflects on the approaches and innovations that have been the key in realising the objectives of this project. Exploration of the relationship between photographic representations and reality provided students a crucial understanding of the active role they as photographers play in the creation of visual narratives. Collaborative critiques of the photographs they were producing helped students make thoughtful decisions about how to depict various aspects of urban life. Innovative ways to facilitate access to people living and working in the city made it possible for students to move beyond surface appearances. An emphasis on producing ethnographic captions and written reflections on the evolving processes of seeing further contributed to student understandings of this urban space and the possibilities for integrating visual and written accounts. Finally, the opportunity to help curate exhibits of their work involved students in a real place-making dialogue and the attendant ethical and political challenges of representing the city in a public venue. 相似文献
The focal points of these developments are the capital cities, being principal places of the execution of state power as well as of its self-representation. However, the conditions for the staging of the state in the capital are in each case different. They depend on one hand on the architectural shape and historic role of the city, and on the political situation and self-image of the state on the other.
The article provides a comparative analysis of the changes in the political iconography of four East Central European capitals—Berlin, Warsaw, Prague and Bratislava—since 1989, focusing on selected monuments, architectural projects for state institutions and concepts of town planning. 相似文献
IMPLICATIONS
Registration of social work is an under-researched topic. Research will provide much needed evidence to help understand the impact and efficacy of registration in protecting the public.
Research will inform the Australian Association of Social Workers strategy in pursuing mandatory registration and also support the federal government in its decision making.
Research in this area may have broader implications for other professions and government policy both nationally and internationally.
Methods: Metabolic, endocrine and anthropometric factors and body composition were measured in 481 Asian men.
Results: A DEXA-derived ≥25% abdominal fat (PAbdF) was used to define men with AbO. Age was directly associated with PAbdF and percent total body fat (PBF). Exercise intensity was negatively associated with PBF. Both PBF and PAbdF were associated with HDL and LDL, but have opposite correlation with triglyceride. Furthermore, both PBF and PAbdF were associated with the number of metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factors. Men with GOb had lower levels of percent lean mass (PLM), testosterone and bioavailable testosterone, and higher insulin and glucose levels. Men with AbO had lower arm and leg fat, higher insulin levels and triglycerides.
Conclusions: Men with GOb and AbO had different pattern of body composition. Age may be a contributory factor in AbO and a sedentary lifestyle may contribute to GOb. Both GOb and AbO are associated with an increased risk of MetS, with GOb more predispose to risk of diabetes, while AbO more at risk for cardiovascular diseases. 相似文献
