Prevalence and characteristics of sexual violence victimization among U.S. adults, 2001-2003

This article provides the most recent U.S. prevalence estimates of forced sex and unwanted sexual activity. Results of a national telephone survey conducted in 2001-2003 indicate that 1 in 59 U.S. adults (2.7 million women and 978,000 men) experienced unwanted sexual activity in the 12 months preceding the survey and that 1 in 15 U.S. adults (11.7 million women and 2.1 million men) have been forced to have sex during their lifetime. There were 60.4% of females and 69.2% of males who were 17 years old or younger at the time the first forced sex occurred. This study provides an update to the National Violence Against Women Survey with more recent national data. Findings suggest that victimization rates have remained consistent since the 1990s. These findings suggest that a continued effort toward primary prevention of sexual violence, particularly rape of children and adolescents, is needed.     

Women's experience of revealing perinatal bladder function--implications for midwifery care

Comments of women engaged in a longitudinal study of urinary leaking from first trimester to 12 months following birth provide the data for this paper. Useful insights into the factors contributing to the maintenance of silence and ways to break the barriers to discussion of urinary incontinence before, during and following pregnancy were revealed. Given the prevalence of 30% of Australian women experiencing urinary leaking following pregnancy, it is imperative that midwives engage in discussion and support prevention of this unwelcome outcome of childbirth.     

夏天和西瓜是绝配

正不知道是不是因为人到了一定的年龄,就容易把回忆过去当成对于时光匆匆的撒娇,我总觉得以前的西瓜与现在的西瓜不一样。我小时候生活在西北,总听我妈讲,南方雨水多,西瓜不甜,于是非常好奇被雨水泡大的西瓜是怎样一个不甜法儿,是不是就像一块糖泡在了一杯水里?后来我到了南方,发现其实西瓜也是甜的,只是与西北,到底还是不同。在西北,夏天吃西瓜是很豪气的,没听说谁买西瓜是一个一个地买,都是一麻袋一麻袋地买。西

生态足迹模型在资源型城市可持续发展动态评估中的应用——基于新疆巴州2000～2011年数据

资源型城市由于产业结构的单一性和经济的脆弱性,不同程度地面临着如何持续发展这一严峻问题。文章以区域生产量取代消费量,并用生产性生态足迹作为区域可持续发展的评价指标,对新疆巴州2000~2011年的生产性生态足迹、多样性指数及生态经济发展能力进行计算分析,得出三个主要结论:(1)巴州2000~2011年人均生态足迹需求不断增加,生态赤字逐年扩大;(2)万元GDP生态足迹逐年下降,生态经济发展能力逐步增强;(3)代表生态经济系统稳定性的多样性指数不断下降,巴州经济发展隐藏着明显的不可持续性信息。产业结构的单一和对能源产业的过度依赖成为制约巴州可持续发展的重要障碍。     

男人还有什么用?

男人的用处不在帮你洗了一次碗,拖了一次地,说了一句情话,而在于维护了你人生的平衡与稳定。最近公布的消息称,英国科学家找到了将女人的骨髓转变成精子的方法,也就是说,女人可以不借助男人而生育宝宝。从情趣工具到骨髓精子,男人的替代品越来越多,而女性聚会中,关于男人百无一用的声讨声不仅愈来愈强,且愈来愈低龄。男人被描绘成好吃懒做、薄情寡义、缺乏爱的神经、欠缺成长基因的怪物。当女人变得越来越强大,男人究竟还有什么用?     

Administrative rationality and coping strategies in shift work

Shift work (SW) can affect worker health and productivity. Working at night, workers often accumulate fatigue and are less productive. In Brazil, laws have been drafted aiming to reduce night work and rotating shift hours. In order to slash costs, companies have been looking for new arrangements to improve productivity under these conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine management changes and their outcomes in a large glass factory located in an industrial region of Brazil. The results show that the management, seeking equal productivity among shifts, focused its efforts mainly on distributing employee expertise. The arrangement resulted in 12 different groups that combine to serve three fixed shifts. A same shift can be served by more than one group, and the members of a same group share days off on different days. There was no statistically significant productivity difference among the three shifts. The on-site examination showed that part of the production was held by the workers and transferred to the next shift in order for them to be able to meet the management's performance rate requirements. The finding shows how a Brazilian cultural trait (resistance without conflict) is used to drive coping in SW.     

Movement-in-depth, cognitive impairment, and crash risk

In this study, 243 cognitively intact and cognitively impaired older participants' movement-in-depth (looming) abilities were assessed using a portable device that we had previously developed in our laboratory. Results indicated normative relationships between looming ability and age, looming ability and driving violation records, and age and driving violation records. Findings also confirmed the validity and reliability of the measurements taken with the device. In conclusion, this device may be useful for identifying drivers at risk for rear-end collisions, developing effective training interventions, and creating fair and valid driver licensing tests.
