AbstractObjective: The aim of this study was to describe the social, physical, intellectual and psychological characteristics of juvenile delinquents in Dublin.Method: One hundred consecutive admissions to the St. Michael's Assessment Centre between March 1,1989 and May 31, 1991 were studied. Information was gathered on a wide range of personal, family and social aspects of the delinquents' lives, together with data on their physical, intellectual and psychological profiles.Results: The majority of subjects came from deprived social and economic backgrounds. 62% of the delinquents were below the 50th percentile for height while 21% were classified as mentally handicapped. The most common psychiatric diagnoses were socialised conduct disorder and mixed disorder of conduct and emotions. Depressive symptoms were endorsed by 12% of the boys and this subgroup tended to engage in more serious offences.Conclusions: This retrospective study demonstrates the high degree of social, physical, intellectual and psychological disadvantage experienced by Dublin juvenile delinquents and underscores the need for further prospective studies in this poorly understood section of our society.

The Voice

Taking its shape in the 1920s of the twentieth century, existentialism has pervaded into a wide range of world literatures. In Southern Vietnam (1955 – 1975), the reception of existentialism theories underwent no crack and proved to be compatible with the social context full of volatility. Existentialism is a “humanitarian theory” (J.P.Sartre). Existentialism theories have permeated the writers’ consciousness and works in terms of their views of the human fate in the period when "God is dead”. Duong Nghiem Mau was a pioneer writer in receiving and expressing existential themes in his works, paving the way for the existential literature of Southern Vietnam. His works reflected various social aspects of life in Southern Vietnam, featuring the voice of a lost generation. The return of Duong Nghiem Mau's fiction at the beginning of the twentieth-first century emerged as a piece of evidence for the durability of existentialism and its pervasiveness in the global literature.

The Subject

Gossip as a discourse genre Gossip is one of the wide range of sub-categories of discourse genres in story-telling. It is one of the most common interactive forms of discourse in informal conversation, because it has its origin in the general inclination of man to show an intense interest in other people’s activities. Although the development of gossip differs with regard to the subject of discussion, the context and situation in which it is produced as well as the persons participating, it is possible to distinguish definite universal features of gossip. This article deals with the most prominent characteristics of gossip. The focus falls on the structure, the gossiping process, the content, the pejorative, evaluating nature of it and the social aspects involved in gossiping. Special attention is paid to non-verbal elements, which are frequently used when people gossip. In spite of the negative connotations gossip has, it is very important in the establishment of social identities and relations. It should therefore not be neglected in the study of language.

Guided Tours

For most visitors, guided tours are the only way to experience a cave. Since few studies have been conducted in these settings, there is no explanation for a recent decline in attendance at many well-known caves and caverns across the United States. A mail-back survey was administered to 660 visitors at Mammoth Cave National Park to learn more about the social aspects of visitation, focusing on those who took at least one guided tour. Results showed a low level of crowding, along with high approvals and value for the fee paid. Some possible strategies were mentioned to reverse the decline in cave tour attendance.

Seksualitas melingkupi kehidupan manusia sejak lahir sampai sepanjang hidupnya. Seksualitas menyangkut berbagai dimensi, diantaranya dimensi kultural, sosial, biologis, dan psikologis. Namun isu seksualitas kerap dipandang tabu untuk diperbincangkan karena terkotak hanya pada pandangan sempit terkait perilaku seksual. Fenomena ini khususnya lebih sering ditemukan diantara perempuan dan kecenderungan ini dipengaruhi oleh identitas gender. Penelitian deskriptif ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi bagaimana persepsi perempuan Indonesia dalam menguraikan tentang konsep seksualitas. Pengumpulkan data diambil dari 293 partisipan perempuan yang diperoleh melalui sampling acak, 88 partisipan telah menikah dan 205 partisipan belum menikah pada jarak usia 18 – 40 tahun. Berdasarkan hasil dari angket terbuka menunjukkan bahwa istilah seksualitas masih cenderung dipandang sebagai suatu hal yang tabu untuk dibicarakan (40,96%) oleh perempuan Indonesia. Sekitar seperlima bagian (21,16%) memandang bahwa seksualitas sebagai sesuatu yang wajar untuk dibicarakan jika sesuai dengan konteks dan berada dalam situasi tertentu. Sedangkan sisanya (37,88%) beranggapan bahwa seksualitas bukanlah hal yang tabu untuk didiskusikan. Jika dijabarkan dikategorikan berdasarkan dimensinya, 23,89% mencakup dimensi biologis, 10,58% mencakup dimensi psikologis, 11,6% mencakup dimensi sosial / kultural dan 53,93% mencakup dimensi perilaku. Adapun harapannya adalah agar dapat bermanfaat untuk meningkatkan kesadaran akan pentingnya pendidikan seksualitas yang komprehensif.  Sexuality covers human life from birth to throughout his life. Sexuality involves a wide range of dimensions, such as: biological, social / cultural, psychological, and behavior dimensions. But the issue of sexuality is often seen as taboo to be discussed because it is compartmentalized only in the narrow view of sexual behavior. This phenomenon is particularly common among women and this tendency is influenced by gender identity. This descriptive study aims to identify how Indonesian women perceive in describing the concept of sexuality. Collecting data was taken from 293 female participants obtained through random sampling, 88 married participants and 205 unmarried at the age range of 18-40 years. Based on the results of the open questionnaire, the term sexuality still tends to be seen as a taboo thing to talk about (40.96%) by Indonesian women. While (21.16%) the rest view sexuality as something natural to talk about if it is appropriate to the context and in certain situations. And only a small percentage (37.88%) think that discussing sexuality is no longer a taboo thing to talk about. If described as categorized by dimensions, 23.89% includes the biological dimension, 10.58% includes the psychological dimension, 11.6% includes the social / cultural dimension and 53.93% includes behavior dimension. The hope is that it can be useful to increase awareness of the importance of comprehensive sexuality education.
