“The Cake and Custard is Good!” A Qualitative Study of Teenage Childrens' Experience of being in Prison

This qualitative study aims to uncover how young people, sentenced for violent offences, experience prison, something about which we know very little. It reports life history data from qualitative interviews with young male inmates aged 16–18 years convicted of violent assault. The findings indicate that the intrusive and inescapable challenges of incarceration are filtered through the boys' interpretations of previous critical incidents in their lives, in a way that can, it is argued, cause them additional harm. Respecting and attempting to understand the complex experiences of the participants, listening to the voices of these children, may help us to understand why a prison sentence seems to have limited impact on recidivism.     

The effect of urinary incontinence on sexual functioning in turkish women of reproductive and menopausal ages

Objectives: The primary objective was to investigate the effects of urinary incontinence (UI) on Turkish women's sexual functioning. Methods: We evaluated 396 women and divided them into 4 groups: reproductive-aged women without UI (Group A), reproductive-aged women with UI (Group B), menopausal-aged women without UI (Group C), and menopausal-aged women with UI (Group D). Results: The mean Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) score was significantly higher and the Beck's Depression Inventory scores were significantly lower in Group A. FSFI scores showed a strong negative correlation with age and parity and a strong positive correlation with years of education. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that UI is an independent risk factor for female sexual problems.     

以性之名——评卡米拉·帕格利亚《性面具》

卡米拉·帕格利亚的《性面具》一书围绕“性”这一话题,通过强调自然与文明、女性与男性、大地崇拜与天空崇拜、异教与犹太———基督教、酒神精神与日神精神的二元对立,试图证明西方文化的连续性和整体性。虽然不失其新颖和特别之处,然而,自然主义的生理特征决定论让《性面具》陷入简化论的泥潭;以性之名将女性与男性、自然与艺术二元割裂让帕格利亚的整个理论构架存在绝对论的危险;对其他学人相关研究的忽视以及在文本分析对象选择上的随机性和跳跃性,又使《性面具》一书陷入相对论的狭窄视野。
