The Subject

After a description of the morbid anatomical and histological appearances of equine melanotic disease, the author provides a critical review of the literature. The histogenesis is demonstrably via dermal melanocytic proliferation. By comparing the equine disease with spontaneously occurring and chemically induced dermal melanocytic tumours in the hamster, and with the wide range of behaviour pattern seen in the human blue naevus, also the subject of a review, he concludes that equine melanotic disease is best considered as a special manifestation of the blue naevus phenomenon.

The Subject

In this monograph, a professor of social policy at Brandeis University tries to develop a macroscopic view of child abuse. He offers the results of two investigations, the poll of attitudes and opinions about child abuse which the National Opinion Research Center performed in 1965, and a compendium of data from the reported cases of 1967 and 1968. There are also a critical review of the literature on the subject and some recommendations for its control.

The Subject

This study surveys existing literature on Gamblers Anonymous (GA) and issues that help to contextualise our understanding of this mutual aid association. While GA has been the subject of investigation by social scientists, it is still understudied, with a notable shortage of research on issues facing women and ethnic minorities. A need exists for large-scale assessments of GA's effectiveness, more detailed accounts of GA beliefs and practices, increased knowledge of the ways in which GA attendance interacts with both formal treatment and attendance at other mutual aid organisations, and a better understanding of the profiles of gamblers best (and least) suited to GA, along with a clearer grasp of what GA was able to offer those gamblers that it seems to have helped. This assessment of the current state of knowledge underscores the embryonic state of our collective inquiry into the nature of GA, and the authors emphasise that significant advances have been made. Notably, important targets for study are being identified.

The Impact

Headache is the most frequent neurological symptom and commonest manifestation of pain in childhood. Measuring the impact of headache in terms of health status, functioning and quality of life can inform the prioritization of competing resource claims, screen for unmet need, improve communication between patient and physician and monitor response to treatment. We undertook a critical review of the literature measuring the impact of headache in children and identified 33 papers that contained relevant information. Findings reflected a wide range of settings, age groups, methodologies and outcome measures. Considerable methodological limitations affected all studies, including inadequate description of study design, methodology and data analysis. Nevertheless, although we found the existing literature to be of inconsistent quality, the impact of headache in children and adolescents is substantial. Rigorous studies are required to quantify this burden using measures that are valid and reliable and whose development has been informed by both theoretical and practical perspectives.

Tropical Infections

The Absorption or Saturation Test published by Castellani in 1902 is now becoming more extensively used by serological and bacteriological workers in European and American laboratories. Its use is also essential for the accurate study of certain tropical infections, so that it behoves all tropical workers to be familiar with this test. It is therefore believed that an account of the method together with a general review of the literature of the subject may not be out of place in this Journal.

The Relationship

We spend increasingly more time in architectural interiors, spaces that can give us quality of life and interesting scenarios for the growth of identity and interiority. However, both spatial interior and psychological interiority faces difficulties inherent to contemporary life. This text proposes a critical review of the literature on the socio-spatial archeology of the subject in order to see possible paths of realisation of interiority in the present. The document presents several stages in the sociocultural evolution of an interior space that needs to be described with different adjectives (spiritual, hedonistic, promiscuous) and groups the most relevant contributions of the literature according to this proposal.

The Fantastic

In the last decades, the Fantastic Literature written by women has been the subject of various critical and theoretical works, which, from different standpoints, have tried to investigate the characteristics of the so called ‘Female Fantastic’: an extremely difficult task, if we take into account the wide range of concepts included in the heterogeneous notions of ‘female’ and ‘female writing’, whose theoretical survey has to be considered prior to any exploration of the ‘Female Fantastic’. After a critical review of some of these most prominent theories about the Female Fantastic, this essay will try to point out through the close readings of “La celda” (1959), by Amparo Dávila, and “La casa de azúcar” (1959), by Silvina Ocampo, the function of the Fantastic written by women, which it is suggested lies in the subversion of the feminine models fixed by the masculine symbolic order and the patriarchal dominant discourse.

Abstract. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global social concern: many women are affected by this phenomenon and by the difficulty of putting an end to it. This review of the literature aims to identify help-seeking facilitating and inhibiting factors in response to IPV. It was carried out on the PsycINFO and Medline databases using the following keywords: “intimate partner violence,” “domestic violence,” “help-seeking,” and “help-seeking barrier.” Ninety out of 771 eligible publications were included on the basis of inclusion criteria. The results highlight that (1) research on this phenomenon is very recent and underdeveloped in Europe, (2) theoretical and conceptual frameworks are poorly developed and extended, (3) there is a significant impact of violence characteristics (e.g., severity, type) on help-seeking, and (4) help-seeking is a complex and multifactorial process influenced by a wide range of factors simultaneously individual and social. To conclude, these findings lead us to propose a psychosocial conceptualization of the help-seeking process by indicating how the levels of explanation approach in social psychology can be applied to this field of research in order to increase our understanding of this phenomenon.

Legal Understanding

The purpose of the article is to typologize terminological definitions of security, to find out the general, to identify the originality of their interpretations depending on the subject of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the study is the methods that made it possible to obtain valid conclusions, in particular, the method of comparison, through which it became possible to correlate different interpretations of the term "security"; method of hermeneutics, which allowed to elaborate texts of normative legal acts of Ukraine, method of typologization, which made it possible to create typologization groups of variants of understanding of the term "security". Scientific novelty. The article analyzes the understanding of the term "security" in various regulatory acts in force in Ukraine. Typological groups were understood to understand the term "security". Conclusions. The analysis of the legal material makes it possible to confirm that the issues of security are within the scope of both legislative regulation and various specialized by-laws. However, today there is no single conception on how to interpret security terminology. This is due both to the wide range of social relations that are the subject of legal regulation and to the relativity of the notion of security itself and the lack of coherence of views on its definition in legal acts and in the scientific literature. The multiplicity of definitions is explained by combinations of material and procedural understanding, static - dynamic, and conditioned by the peculiarities of a particular branch of legal regulation, limited ability to use methods of one or another branch, the inter-branch nature of some variations of security, etc. Separation, common and different in the definition of "security" can be used to further standardize, in fact, the regulatory legal understanding of security to more effectively implement the legal regulation of the security direction.
