This study examines the integration of statistical and psychological risk factors using psychometric markers of psychopathology and psychosexual characteristics from the Static-99 in 119 sexual offenders. Psychological risk markers are combined to approximate four deviancy domains: sexual interests, distorted attitudes, socio-affective functioning, and self-management. The sexual interests domain predicts sexual reconviction independent of Static-99. The four deviancy domains are used to calculate the Psychological Deviance Index, which was also found to predict sexual reconviction independent of Static-99. Organizing the Static-99 risk items into three subscales (sexual deviance, general criminality, and immaturity) reveals a distinct pattern of correlations within the psychological markers and risk domains. The Static-99 sexual deviance and general criminality subscales make modest predictions. Results support the use of integrating statistical and psychological markers within a risk domains framework in predicting sexual reconviction.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship of age to sexual recidivism using data from 10 follow-upstudies of adult male sexual offenders (combined sample of 4,673). Rapists were younger thanchild molesters, and the recidivism risk of rapists steadily decreased with age. In contrast,extra familial child molesters showed relatively little reduction in recidivism risk until after theage of50. The recidivism rate of intra familial child molesters was generally low (less than 10%),except for the intra familial offenders in the 18-to24-year-old age group, whose recidivism riskwas comparable to that of rapists and extra familial child molesters. The results are discussed interms of developmental changes in sexual drive, self-control, and opportunities to offend.

Este artigo é resultado de uma tese de doutorado que teve como objetivo identificar inovações no campo da organização do trabalho produzidas pelas experiências de empresas recuperadas por trabalhadores no Brasil e na Argentina. A tese central defendida é a de que as limitações impostas pela hegemonia do modo de produção capitalista não encerram a possibilidade de construção de novas relações sociais de produção. Os cinco estudos de caso realizados e a experiência de levantamentos da totalidade das experiências de empresas recuperadas nos dois países forneceram elementos que permitiram problematizar em vários aspectos a organização capitalista do trabalho e, por meio de uma crítica prática, como sugere Rebón (2007), propiciaram a reflexão sobre a possibilidade de superação do modelo hegemônico, que não passa apenas pela inovação no interior das organizações, mas também da relação dessas empresas com seus territórios.Palavras-chave: empresas recuperadas por trabalhadores; organização do trabalho; autogestão; estudos organizacionais críticos. Abstract: This article is the result of a doctoral thesis which aims to identify innovations in the field of labour organization produced by the experiences of companies recovered by workers in Brazil and Argentina. The central thesis defended is that the limitations imposed by the hegemony of the capitalist mode of production do not dismiss the possibility of building new social relations of production. The five case studies and the experience with surveys of all experiences recuperated enterprises in the two countries provided information that allowed questioning in several respects the capitalist organization of work and, through a critical practice, as suggested Rebón (2007), propitiated reflection on the possibility of overcoming the hegemonic model, it is not only about innovation within organizations, but also the relationship of these companies with their territories. Keywords: companies recovered by workers; work organization; workers self-management; critical management studies.

Survei awal dilakukan pada 10 Desember 2016, didapatkan 80% siswi mengalami cemas, bingung menghadapi menarche. Salah satu faktor risiko psikologis menarche yaitu kesiapan, karena ketidaksiapan menimbulkan perasaan cemas. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui hubungan kesiapan menghadapi menarche pada anak usia sekolah. Metode penelitian kuantitatif survei analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi 36 siswi dari kelas IV, V, VI yang belum menarche dengan teknik total sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah kuesioner. Uji hubungan variabel dengan uji Rank Spearmen. Hasil penelitian terdapat 77,8% dinyatakan tidak siap menghadapi menarche, sebanyak 55,6% siswi dengan tingkat cemas sedang. Hasil analisis diperoleh hasil ρ value (0,026) dengan rho (-0,372). Kesimpulan: ada hubungan kesiapan menghadapi menarche dengan tingkat kecemasan pada anak usia sekolah.   Kata kunci: Kesiapan, menarche, tingkat kecemasan.       ABSTRACT Children look at menarche is a scary thing because menarche will cause discomfort, dizziness. Menarche is the first common menstruation of 10-16 years. Initial survey conducted in 10th December 2016, found 80% female students experience anxiety, confused face menarche. One of the psychological risk factors of menarche is readiness, because unpreparedness raises anxiety. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship of readiness to face menarche in school-aged children. The method is quantitative research of analytic survey with cross sectional approach. The population of 36 female students from grade IV, V, VI which has not menarche with total sampling technique. The instrument used is a questionnaire. Test the relationship of variables with Rank Spearmen test.Results: 77.8% were declared unprepared for menarche, as many as 55.6% of female students with moderate levels of anxiety. The result of analysis is obtained ρ value (0,026) with rho (-0,372).Conclusion: there is a relationship of readiness to face menarche with anxiety levels in school-age children.   Keywords: Readiness, menarche, anxiety level.

The Impact

The impact of sexual fantasies in future risk and treatment response among sexual offenders has long been known. However, as we develop objective self-report measures of sexual fantasies, response bias is becoming an increasing concern. In examining a sample of institutionalized sex offenders, the present study suggests that offenders’ responses on these measures are prone to response bias, the bias does not negate their associations with other self-report measures of sexual deviance, and relationship of their sexual fantasies does not appear to relate to actual behavioral indications. Clinical and research implications for these findings are discussed.

The Relationship

Studies of shame and guilt have focused more on normal populations and cultural and religious contexts. The study of this topic for a group of subjects who commit crimes is still limited, especially sexual crimes as actions that are considered socially embarrassing. This study focused on examining the relationship of shame with guilt on inmates of sexual crimes (N = 143) who are carrying out sentences in correctional institutions. Shame and guilt are measured using the Guilt and Shame Proneness (GASP) Scale developed by Cohen et al. This study found a significant positive association so that shame can be a predictor of guilt. This study has implications for the importance of correctional institutions providing treatment to increase shame for prisoners of sexual crimes, thereby preventing the re-offense of their crimes.

Long Term Mortality

Background: Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) is a leading cause of reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and is associated with high mortality risk from progressive heart failure and arrhythmias. Myocardial scar on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is increasingly recognized as risk marker for adverse outcomes, however LV dysfunction remains the basis for determining a patient's eligibility for primary prophylaxis implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). We wanted to investigate the relationship of LVEF and scar to long term mortality and mode of death in a large cohort of patients with NICM. Methods: This study is a prospective, longitudinal outcomes registry of 1020 consecutive patients with NICM who underwent clinical CMR for the assessment of LVEF and scar at three centers. Results: During a median follow-up of 5.2 (IQR 3.8, 6.6) years 277 (27%) patients died. On survival analysis LVEF≤35% and scar were strongly associated with all-cause (log-rank test p=0.002 and p<0.001, respectively) and cardiac death (p=0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). While scar was strongly related to sudden cardiac death (SCD) (p=0.001), there was no significant association between LVEF≤35% and SCD-risk (p=0.57). On multivariable analysis including established clinical factors, LVEF and scar are independent risk-markers of all-cause and cardiac death. The addition of LVEF provided incremental prognostic value albeit insignificant discrimination improvement by C-statistic for all-cause and cardiac death, however no incremental prognostic value for SCD. Conversely, scar extent demonstrated significant incremental prognostic value and discrimination improvement for all three endpoints. On net reclassification analysis, the addition of LVEF resulted in no significant improvement for all-cause death 11.0% (95% CI -6.2-25.9%), cardiac death 9.8% (95% CI -5.7-29.3%), and SCD 7.5% (95% CI -41.2-42.9%). Conversely, the addition of scar extent resulted in significant reclassification improvement of 25.5% (95% CI 11.7-41.0%) for all-cause death, 27.0% (95% CI 11.6-45.2%) for cardiac death, and 40.6% (95% CI 10.5-71.8%) for SCD. Conclusions: Myocardial scar and LVEF are both risk markers for all-cause and cardiac death in patients with NICM. However, while myocardial scar has strong and incremental prognostic value for SCD risk stratification, LVEF has no incremental prognostic value over clinical parameters. Scar assessment should be incorporated into patient selection criteria for primary prevention ICD placement.
