Context: Hazing and peer sexual abuse in sport are a critical issue, brought into public scrutiny with increasing frequency due to various forms of media, resulting in major causes of numerous avoidable mental health issues, and in some cases, even death. While the exact incidence of these activities is extremely difficult to quantify, trends indicate that the problem is very likely underreported. Evidence Acquisition: PubMed, Google, various legal journals/statutes, books on hazing and peer abuse in sport, and newspaper periodicals/editorials were all searched. Sources range in date from 1968 through 2018. Study Design: Clinical review. Level of Evidence: Level 5. Results: Hazing and peer sexual abuse are complex issues that have the potential to lead to physical, emotional, and mental harm. The underlying causes of hazing are complex but rooted in maintaining a hierarchical structure within the team unit. By implementing various changes and strategies, coaches and team administration can mitigate the risks of these behaviors. Conclusion: Hazing and peer sexual abuse in sport are avoidable and must be eliminated to maximize the numerous physical and psychosocial benefits attainable by participating in team athletics.

<p>A Geografia Humanista, especialmente a Geografia da Religião, desde a década de oitenta do século passado, se empenha na análise teórica e conceitual acerca da movimentação do homem no espaço. Ao semiografar sua cultura no meio ambiente ele permite que se conheça sua <em>praxis</em>, seus discursos, seus ritos. Neste ínterim, a ciência em questão pôde com sucesso compreender, na interface da dinâmica cultural hodierna, permeada por conflitos sócio-políticos de cunho religioso, o Islam capaz de edificar no espaço sua marca simbólica e sua história, sendo capaz de erguer sob o viés identitário um território de concessão, de permuta e de integração com as culturas de alteridade que o circundam.  Neste artigo a proposta se materializa a partir da análise teórica da construção dos territórios islâmicos que venho analisando ao longo da minha pesquisa. A forte imigração sírio-libanesa desde as últimas duas décadas do século XX é exponenciada por uma vívida comunidade economicamente relevante concentrada na região sudeste do país. Sua crença é objeto de uma análise mais aprofundada tendo em vista suas peculiaridades sócio-espaciais. As conclusões parciais aqui observadas são capazes de corroborar uma perspectiva atual onde a integração social com o meio se dá através de uma estratégia territorial que se fundamenta no sagrado e culmina com a construção de uma identidade. A edificação de um território próprio é meio e condição de subsistência social.</p><p><strong>Palavras–chave:</strong> Islam, Território, Geossímbolo</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstract </strong></p><p> </p><p>Humanistic Geography, especially of Religion Geography, since the eighties of the last century engages in theoretical and conceptual analysis on the movements of man in space. When draws their culture in the environment it allows one to know their praxis, their speeches, their rites. Meanwhile, the science in question could successfully understand the cultural dynamics of today's interface, permeated by social and political conflicts of a religious nature, Islam able to build within its symbolic brand and its history, being able to lift under the bias identity a territory of grant, exchange and integration with the cultures of otherness that surround it. In this article the proposal materializes from the theoretical analysis of the construction of Islamic territories have been analyzing throughout my research. The strong Syrian-Lebanese immigration since the last two decades of the twentieth century is shown by a vivid economically relevant community concentrated in the southeastern region of the country. His belief is the subject of further consideration in light of their socio-spatial peculiarities. Partial findings observed here are able to confirm a current perspective where social integration with the environment occurs through a regional strategy that is based on the sacred and culminates with the construction of an identity. The building of a territory itself is kind and condition of social subsistence.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Islam, Territory, Geosymbol</p>

Background: Research shows that there is a high prevalence of suicide among nurses. Despite this, it has been 15 years since the last literature review on the subject was published. Aim: The aim of this article is to review the knowledge currently available on the risk of suicide among nurses and on contributory risk factors. Method: A search was conducted in electronic databases using keywords related to prevalence and risk factors of suicide among nurses. The abstracts were analyzed by reviewers according to selection criteria. Selected articles were submitted to a full-text review and their key elements were summarized. Results: Only nine articles were eligible for inclusion in this review. The results of this literature review highlight both the troubling high prevalence of suicide among nurses as well as the persistent lack of studies that examine this issue. Conclusion: Considering that the effects of several factors related to nurses' work and work settings are associated with high stress, distress, or psychiatric problems, we highlight the relevance of investigating work-related factors associated with nurses' risk of suicide. Several avenues for future studies are discussed as well as possible research methods.

A systematic literature review (SLR) from 1991 to 2019 is carried out about EFQM (European Foundation for Quality Management) excellence model in this paper. The aim of the paper is to present state of the art in quantitative research on the EFQM excellence model that will guide future research lines in this field. The articles were searched with the help of six strings and these six strings were executed in three popular databases i.e. Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct. Around 584 peer-reviewed articles examined, which are directly linked with the subject of quantitative research on the EFQM excellence model. About 108 papers were chosen finally, then the purpose, data collection, conclusion, contributions, and type of quantitative of the selected papers are discussed and analyzed briefly in this study. Thus, this study identifies the focus areas of the researchers and knowledge gaps in empirical quantitative literature on the EFQM excellence model. This article also presents the lines of future research.
