The purpose of this article is to explore the relationship between substance use and sexual and violent crime, using data collected as part of the 1979 “Survey of Inmates in Correctional Institutions.” Specifically, the intent is to (1) assess the relationship between substance use and crime for rapists and compare this relationship with that for offenders whose crimes involve different levels of sex and violence; (2) examine the extent to which race, age, and social context modify this relationship; (3) compare substance use at the time of the offense with typical use patterns, in order to determine whether use is likely to be directly linked to the crimes in question; and (4) place the findings in a theoretical context in order to suggest directions for future research. The findings indicate that although there is a slight difference between offender types for drug use, no difference between offender types was found for alcohol use. In addition, these findings did not appear to be modified by race, age, or social context factors. Finally, it was found that use at the time of the offense does not differ markedly from typical use patterns.

Introducción: Las úlceras del pie son frecuentes en las personas con diabetes. Conocer los factores del comportamiento, y su relación con los factores biológicos y del ambiente puede favorecer el entendimiento de esta patología y sentar las bases para su intervención.Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de casos y controles para determinar los factores asociados a la ocurrencia de úlceras en pacientes diabéticos. Los participantes fueron personas que asisten a una institución hospitalaria de nivel II y a una institución de nivel III de la ciudad de Cali. Los casos fueron pacientes diabéticos hospitalizados con diagnóstico de úlcera de miembros inferiores con o sin sobreinfección, y los controles pacientes hospitalizados con diagnóstico de diabetes pero sin úlceras.Resultados: Se encontró en el análisis por regresión logística múltiple que hubo factores biológicos asociados a úlcera de miembros inferiores como la neuropatía periférica (OR: 3,95; IC: 2,01 – 7,71) y la presencia de dolor o calambres en las piernas (OR: 2,31; IC: 1,05 – 5,09), factores del comportamiento como no revisar nunca o revisar los pies una vez al mes (OR 2,78; IC: 1,16 -6,64) y factores del contexto social que fueron protectores como ir al parque a caminar o hacer ejercicio (OR 0,76; IC: 0,56- 1,04) y participar con frecuencia como voluntario en organizaciones locales como juntas de acción comunal, juntas de acción local (OR 0,68; IC: 0,44 – 1,07).Discusión: El desarrollo de úlceras en los miembros inferiores tiene una base clínica ampliamente conocida, pero además se asocia a factores del comportamiento y del contexto social que implican autocuidado, adherencia, y dentro del modelo de creencias en salud claves para la acción y beneficios percibidos indirectos que deben evaluarse integralmente para impactar en la prevalencia y las complicaciones de esta patología.Summary Introduction: Foot ulcers are common in people with diabetes. Knowing behavioral factors and their relationship with biological and environmental factors can foster understanding of this disease, and set the stage for its intervention. Methods: A study of cases and controls was conducted in order to determine the factors associated with the occurrence of ulcers in diabetic patients. Participants were people attending a Level 2 hospital and a Level 3 institution in the city of Cali. The cases were hospitalized diabetic patients diagnosed with lower limb ulcer with or without superinfection, and controls of hospitalized patients diagnosed with diabetes but without ulcers. Results: In the analysis, it was found that biological factors were associated with lower limb ulcers and peripheral neuropathy by multiple logistic regression (OR: 3.95; IC: 2.01 – 7.71) and the presence of pain or cramps in the legs (OR: 2.31; IC: 1.05 –5.09), behavioral factors such as never checking or checking the feet once a month (OR 2.78; IC: 1.16 -6.64) and social context factors which were protective such as going to the park to walk or exercise (OR 0.76; IC: 0.56- 1.04) and frequently participate as a volunteer in local organizations such as communal action boards, local action boards (OR 0.68; IC: 0.44 – 1.07). Discussion: The development of ulcer in the lower limbs has a well-known clinical basis, but also, it is associated with behavioral and social context factors which involve self-care, adherence, and within the model of key health beliefs for action and indirect benefits received that must be fully evaluated to decrease the prevalence and complications of this disease.

Trust And Reciprocity

One of the most prominent changes in adolescence concerns the way adolescents experience and develop social relationships. Two processes that are highly important for developing secure and intimate social relationships are trust and reciprocity. Trust helps individuals to develop social relationships, whereas reciprocity is crucial for maintaining social relationships. This chapter investigates the development of trust and reciprocity from a behavioral and neuroscience perspective. In the first section, the authors show that economic games that manipulate trust and reciprocity conditions can be informative for understanding motivations for trusting others, including the developmental changes in these processes. Next, the authors describe neuroimaging studies that examined trust and reciprocity in adults and adolescents. Special emphasis is given to possible individual differences relating to gender, perspective taking skills, and social context, factors that all may influence trust and reciprocity behavior. Finally, the chapter will end with several compelling questions that are important for relating lab-based experimental designs and neuroscientific studies to understanding trust and reciprocity in the complexity of adolescents’ daily lives.

Exponential Random Graph

Academic collaboration networks can be formed by grouping different faculty members into a single group. Grouping these faculty members together is a complex process that involves searching multiple web pages in order to collect and analyze information, and establishing new connections among prospective collaborators. A recommender system (RS) for academic collaborations can help reduce the time and effort required to establish a new collaboration. Content-based recommendation system make recommendations based on similarity without taking social context into consideration. Hybrid recommender systems can be used to combine similarity and social context. In this paper, we propose a weighting method that can be used to combine two or more social context factors in a recommendation engine that leverages an exponential random graph model (ERGM) based on historical network data. We demonstrate our approach using real data from collaborations with faculty members at the College of Computer and Information Sciences (CCIS) in Saudi Arabia. Our results demonstrate that weighting social context factors helps increase recommendation accuracy for new users.
