THE ROLE OF AGGRESSION-RELATED ALCOHOL EXPECTANCIES IN EXPLAINING THE LINK BETWEEN ALCOHOL AND VIOLENT BEHAVIOR

Fifteen cases of presumed cocaine intoxication were evaluated in the emergency room (ER) at a city hospital over a four-day period. This series is unique in that many of these patients were from a similar area of the city, in some cases had the same street address, were regular abusers of cocaine, and presented to the ER with similar symptoms of tachycardia, dilated pupils, marked confusion, bizarre and sometimes violent behavior, psychosis, and hallucinations. Many of these symptoms were present several hours after drug use. Samples of a white powder presumed by the patients to be cocaine were obtained from two patients and analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. Neither sample contained cocaine, but rather revealed atropine, benzocaine, and procaine. The signs and symptoms of cocaine, amphetamine, and atropine intoxication are reviewed and the problems of drug analysis and differential diagnosis of drug intoxication are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to determine the role of high school in managing conflicts between teenagers in the rural areas between Tirana and Elbasan. Conflicts among teenagers are always present. They can happen in families, at school, and in the community, but our focus will be the conflicts generated in school premises. It is concerning that teenagers are seeing school as a battlefield where they can fight away from their parents' eyes. The research will shed light on how the aid offered by the high school social services, impact teenagers’ conflict management. This study uses Psychoanalytic, Humanist and Behavioral Directions to explain the source of violent behavior among students in schools located in rural areas. The study is based on the Positive Paradigm. The research method used for collecting data is the quantitative one. The population of this study is the teenagers of high schools located in rural areas between Tirana and Elbasan. The sample of the study is the students of "Krrabë" and "Ibrahim Hasmema" high schools and the instrument used is the sociological questionnaire. Data analysis will show whether teenage conflicts exist and how schools located in rural area manage these conflict cases. The document argues that conflicts between teenagers are present at school premises and the latest rarely use the social services provided at their school. The teachers' staff should be trained on identifying young people who tend to conflict and to have violent behavior. Teachers should be also trained on the ways to treat those teenagers who are victims of violence.
