Background. While household support is an important component of effective care and treatment in HIV/AIDS, there are few insights from Southern Africa into how household support arrangements change over time for patients starting antiretroviral therapy (ART).Objective. We hypothesised that patients initiating ART are more likely to be living with family, especially their mothers, compared with the general population, but that over time these differences disappear.Methods. A panel survey of ART patients was matched by age, gender and education to a comparison sample drawn from adults in Khayelitsha, Cape Town.Results. The results show that there is a substantial potential burden of care on the families of patients starting ART, particularly mothers, and that the use of ART appears to reduce this burden over time. But, even after their health is restored, ART patients are significantly less likely to have a resident sexual partner and more likely to be living in single-person households than their counterparts in the general population.

ABSTRAKKeberadaan fasilitas publik di bawah tanah saat ini semakin banyak berkembang di kota Jakarta. Dalam prosesnya, pengadaan infrastruktur tersebut, lebih fokus pada aspek fisik secara fungsi. Seiring berjalannya waktu, muncul berbagai isu mengenai perasaan takut terhadap tindak kejahatan terkait keamanan dan kenyamanan bagi pengguna wanita.  Salah satu penyebabnya, fasilitas yang ada secara fisik masih belum banyak mempertimbangkan kebutuhan kaum wanita, terutama dalam hal keamanan dan kenyamanan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi relasi rasa takut pengguna perempuan terhadap lingkungan jalur underpass atau Tempat Penyeberangan Orang (TPO) bawah tanah dan juga mengetahui faktor lingkungan yang mendominasi rasa takut tersebut. Metode yang digunakan untuk penelitian adalah dengan menggunakan kuesioner terstruktur yang didistrubusikan melalui media survei online, kepada para mahasiswi di sebuah kampus negeri di Depok dan juga survey langsung di lokasi penelitian. Hasil yang didapatkan melalui riset ini menguatkan beberapa riset terdahulu bahwa adanya relasi yang kuat antara aspek fisik lingkungan TPO dengan perasaan takut akan tindak kejahatan pada pengguna wanita.Kata Kunci:   Perasaan takut akan tindak kejahatan (fear of crime), Tempat Penyeberangan Orang, bawah tanah (underground), pengguna wanita  ABSTRACTThe train station as one of the public facilities supporting activities intended for the entire community. Underground public in Jakarta has been increasingly developed. In this infrastructure, the focus is more on functional physical aspects. Over time, various issues has been emerged regarding fear of crime related to security and comfort for female users. One of the reasons, the physical facilities has not been considered for the needs of female users, especially in terms of security and comfort. The aim of this study is to identify the relation between female users’ fear of crime and the environment of underpasses and also to understand the environmental factors that dominate it. To confirm the hypothesis, we distributed structured questionnairse using an online survey platform to female students in one of national university in Depok and also direct survey in research location. As a result, several environmental cues have been identified as fear-provoking and the findings confirm the relation between female users’ fear of crime and physical aspect in underpass.Keywords: Fear of crime, Underpass, Underground, women user

AbstractThe concept of topophobia has been known in Geography for decades. Places which evoke fear in people’s minds can be found in almost every city. The perception of fear within an urban environment shows a certain spatio-temporal concentration and is often represented by fear of crime. The meaning of topophobic places, however, derived from the experience of fear of crime changes over time, and thus can alter the usual patterns of population behaviours in relation to time (in the time of the day and over longer periods) and space. A spatiotemporal understanding of these changes is therefore crucial for local decision-makers. Using data from the Czech Republic, this paper deals with the analysis of topophobic places, and is based on an empirical survey of the inhabitants of four cities, using the concept of mental mapping. In contrast to most similar geographical studies, the paper emphasises the temporal dimension of the fear of crime. The results have shown that over time there are significant differences in the meanings of topophobic places, and they have demonstrated the necessity of taking local specifics into account. The paper shows how the intensity of and the reasons for fears vary, depending on time and place. In general, the results provide support for the idea of place as a process and contain useful information for spatial planning and policy in urban areas.

Juvenile Suspects

Between 2007 and 2011, the number of registered juvenile suspects declined by 44 percent, but the Dutch public did not feel any safer. In this research, we study media coverage of youth crime and interview journalists and their sources in order to investigate the relationship between journalists, their sources, and the possible effects on the public with respect to fear of crime. We find an overrepresentation of youth crime in news coverage, especially in the popular press, and a stronger episodic focus over time. All media focus increasingly on powerful sources that focus on repressive framing, but this is especially found in the elite press. We conclude that news coverage in all media groups, although in different ways, does contribute to the fear of crime in society and the idea that repressive measures are needed. The fact that this fear of crime is also caused by news coverage is acknowledged, but neither journalists nor politicians are able or willing to change this.

Abstract Many people spend most of their time indoors, thereby exposing themselves to indoor environmental microbial communities that might interact with the human microbiota. These potential interactions have only been considered for personal identification; however, accumulating evidence indicates that these microbial interactions are potentially implicated with the identification of human interactions and location-specific factors including time and seasonal variations in the microbial community. To augment the potential of metagenomics-based forensic tools, we compared the composition of microbial communities in blood spot surfaces from healthy adults placed in different environments, such as in the bathroom of a female single-person household and on a laboratory, which were sampled across seasons and time points. The laboratory samples showed more changes in the bacterial community over time owing to the higher number of individuals using the laboratory, whereas the microbial communities in the bathroom samples remained relatively stable over time. Moreover, the two locations could be distinguished according to their specific bacterial community compositions. Variations were also observed related to changes in temperature and humidity, allowing for prediction of season-based microbial community. These findings offer a new perspective regarding the use of microbial community analysis in forensic science.

Philosophically, the most interesting objection to the reliance on advance directives to guide treatment decisions for formerly competent patients is the argument from the loss of personal identity. Starting with a psychological continuity theory of personal identity, the argument concludes that the very conditions that bring an advance directive into play may destroy the conditions necessary for personal identity, and so undercut the authority of the directive. In this article, I concede that if the purpose of a theory of personal identity is to provide an answer to the question What is it for a person to persist over time?, then reflection on personal identity poses a potentially serious threat to the moral authority of advance directives. However, as Marya Schechtman observes, questions about how a single person persists through change are not what most of us are interested in when we think about who a person is. Rather, we are interested in what it means to say that a particular set of actions, experiences, and characteristics is that of a given person rather than someone else.

AbstractThe American vice president's most notable constitutional function is that of succession: if the president unexpectedly leaves office, the vice president becomes president. The process of selecting vice-presidential running mates has fallen into fewer hands over time, moving from the electorate, to party bosses and delegates, to a single person: the presidential candidate. The selection process presents challenges for democratic governance: electoral considerations may provide presidential candidates with incentive to choose vice-presidential running mates who differ from themselves politically. In cases of succession, this can lead to undemocratic outcomes and unstable policy.

AbstractEvolved dispositions influence, but do not determine, how people think about economic problems. The evolutionary cognitive approach offers important insights but underweights the social transmission of ideas as a level of explanation. The need for asocialexplanation for the evolution of economic attitudes is evidenced, for example, by immense variations in folk-economic beliefs over time and across individuals.
