ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the concept of domestic violence based on its use in health sciences, humanities, and exact sciences according to Rodgers’ evolutionary model. Methods: this is a concept analysis based on Rodgers’ evolutionary conceptual model. Ninety-six articles were included in Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French, which had a definition of domestic violence, having identified the antecedents, attributes and consequences and produced a model case. Results: twenty-two attributes, ten antecedents and eight consequences were identified. Final considerations: from antecedents, attributes and consequences, it was possible to identify the connection between domestic violence and gender issues, especially patriarchal, being seen in a normalized way by society and causing consequences to the victims’ physical and psychological health.

The Impact

Sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) can have long-term repercussions on the mental and physical health of survivors. The threat of SGBV increases for women and girls in times of crisis and is on the rise in humanitarian emergencies. For example, women in refugee camps are at risk of SGBV. Associate Professor Tamaki Hatano is working to promote awareness of this situation and help establish a future where SGBV is eradicated. In her work, she conducts interviews with female refugees in order to hear their stories and learn of their experiences. At present, Hatano is studying the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement in Uganda. Although her work has been interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2015 and 2016 she visited the Settlement and interviewed 30 women. In doing so, she found that SGBV, including rape and violence in the form of theft and threats, is pervasive. This work also highlighted the impact of SGBV on physical and psychological health and how it can alter life paths. This work confirmed to Hatano that there is a need for improved systems in place, including the establishment of a culture in which women feel safe reporting SGBV and also feel assured that their experiences will be taken seriously and that they will be protected. In enhancing awareness and understanding of SGBV, Hatano envisions a future where it is eradicated.

Domestic Violence And Abuse

This chapter deals with the legal responses to various forms of personal behaviour within the domestic sphere which may amount to physical or emotional abuse. It begins with discussions of the definition of domestic violence and abuse; the scale of domestic abuse; government strategy; and gender-based abuse as a breach of human rights. It then turns to the protection afforded by the criminal law; civil law remedies; and remedies through housing law. It concludes by considering whether the legal response to domestic violence should primarily be the use of the criminal law or through the civil law.

The International Labour Organization estimates that there are 12.5 million children and adolescents under the age of fifteen currently working in Latin America and the Caribbean. Of these, 9.6 million (77%) perform tasks that pose a risk to their physical and psychological health. This article presents a brief comparative analysis of child labor in Brazil and Uruguay in order to discuss the challenges of confronting this phenomenon in two very different countries that have embraced divergent strategies to deal with similar problems. To do this, the article presents an overview of the incidence of child labor in Brazil and Uruguay and seeks to demonstrate how far the category of labor is from a universal definition in the academic world, which is also repeated in the debate on the definition of child labor. It is possible to identify different moments of the debate in Latin America regarding the concept of child labor. Some approaches have been more contextualized than others, but all remain controversial and are sometimes considered incomplete. It will also consider the changes in the world of labor and how they interfere in this phenomenon. Despite advances in the fight against child labor overall, Brazil is starting to stagnate in its efforts to reduce the number of child and adolescent workers, and its challenge is to find new political solutions to address this problem. Uruguay still needs to place the issue more centrally on the nation’s political and social agenda in order to guarantee consistent research on the problem that can guide its policy responses.

The present chapter reviews the psychological literature on medical situations, their properties, and their associations with a variety of physical and psychological health outcomes. It offers a definition of medical situations and suggests a framework to organize the literature before providing a review of research on health outcomes associated with different medical situation categories (e.g., waiting for a doctor, receiving treatment), as well as their physical cues (e.g., hospital room with a view of nature, ambient sounds) and psychological characteristics (e.g., doctor-patient communication, information availability). The chapter concludes with a discussion of the implications of past studies and suggestions for further research on medical situations.

One of the main objectives of contemporary society and international research is to improve the physical and psychological health and well-being of the population, especially within the urban space. An effective approach to address this complex issue must necessarily be trans-disciplinary, and must be framed in the broader perspective of the Science of Sustainability, in particular the Psychology of Sustainability and Sustainable Development, as a frame of reference. The study shows the first results of research, in terms of methodology and qualitative analysis, with the following objectives—identification of the criteria for intervention for a healthy city design, with particular attention to the psychological, architectural, and construction aspects, and an initial verification of these criteria, through a case study consisting of a section of the city’s waterfront, in the city of Livorno. This case study has enabled, both, the definition of an innovative design and implementation of solutions, for the correct use, accessibility, and management of spaces. It provides the first evaluation of a possible digital analyses of a waterfront, before and after intervention; and highlights the potential and the critical aspects of the process of recovery and re-appropriation of an urban space, for a new social life, within it.

Specific Definition

In the realm of Christian faith, the notion of “neighbor” represents a “gate for salvation.” In this work, my aim is to shed light on the necessity of rediscovering and reshaping what is meant by “neighbor” in the context of current worldwide challenges. In fact, it is a truism to say that our world is crossing one of the most critical periods of its evolution: Global warming, migrations crisis, terrorism, etc, all contribute to a complex situation. In the specific context of United States, there are racial and gender issues, gun violence, and other unique issues to take into account. All those critical situations reflect what we may call “crisis of neighborhood.” I propose in this paper, based on the Book of Genesis, a specific definition of neighbor:  a helper desired by God to fulfill human person’s existential anxiety. In fact, in Gn 2:18, the declaration by God that it is good for the man not to be alone points to the necessity of having a neighbor. Here is the origin of neighborhood. Besides, it seems worthwhile to underline here the fact that the woman was not the first helper to be created.  By way of reshaping, I aim to extend the notion of neighbor beyond a human person. In the NT, the notion is covered by the religious and social accent. The fact that Jesus extended its meaning beyond the community of Covenant to fit his message of love may pave our way even to the extent of a cosmic level, to deal with ecological issues. In that sense, plants and animals might be integrated in that notion.
