Studying the French audiovisual mediascape the contribution asks when and how the issue of sexuality and sexual education surfaced on TV. As direct cinema micro-trottoire techniques met sex education they challenged classical talk shows. Thereby they reframed who could be a speaking subject in front of the TV camera. Contrasting official TV shows used in a systematic fashion as principal primary source the contribution moves on to look at school television and amateur videos, used as counterarchives. How did these multiple screens differ in informing or educating about sexuality? Their comparative and integrated analysis emphasizes how intimate, ordinary, and ‘real’ self-exhibition in intimate confessional scenes and unscripted street interviews became key portraits and tropes situated on the fence between exploring and exploiting.

AbstractProterozoic basement aquifers are the primary source of water supply for the local populations in the Aseer (also spelled “Asir” or “Assir”) province located in the southwest of Saudi Arabia (SA) since high evaporation rates and low rainfall are experienced in the region. Groundwater assets are receiving a lot of attention as a result of the growing need for water due to increased urbanization, population, and agricultural expansion. People have been pushed to seek groundwater from less reliable sources, such as fracture bedrocks. This study is centered on identifying the essential contributing parameters utilizing an integrated multi-criteria analysis and geospatial tools to map groundwater potential zones (GWPZs). The outcome of the GWPZs map was divided into five categories, ranging from very high to negligible potential. The results concluded that 57% of the investigated area (southwestern parts) showed moderate to very high potentials, attributed to Wadi deposits, low topography, good water quality, and presence of porosity and permeability. In contrast, the remaining 43% (northeastern and southeastern parts) showed negligible aquifer potential zones. The computed GWPZs were validated using dug well sites in moderate to very high aquifer potentials. Total dissolved solids (TDS) and nitrate (NO32−) concentrations were highest and lowest in aquifers, mainly in negligible and moderate to very high potential zones, respectively. The results were promising and highlighted that such integrated analysis is decisive and can be implemented in any region facing similar groundwater expectations and management.

In this text, we ask about the relationship between sexual education in Poland in the 1960s and 1970s with the cultural contestation and the moral (including sexual) revolution in the West as seen through the eyes of Prof. Andrzej Jaczewski (1929–2020) – educationalist, who for many years in 1970s and 1980s conducted seminars at the University of Cologne, pediatrician, sexologist, one of the pioneers of sexual education in Poland. The movie “Sztuka kochania. Historia Michaliny Wisłockiej” (“The Art of Love. The Story of Michalina Wisłocka” [1921–2005]), directed in 2017 by Maria Sadowska, was the impulse for our interview. After watching it, we discovered that the counter-cultural background of the West in the 1960s and 1970s was completely absent both in the aforementioned film and in the discourse of Polish sex education at that time. Moreover, Andrzej Jaczewski’s statement (July 2020) indicates that the Polish concept of sexual education in the 1960s and 1970s did not arise under the influence of the social and moral revolution in the West at the same time, and its originality lay in the fact that it was dealt with by professional doctors-specialists. We put Andrzej Jaczewski’s voice in the spotlight. Our voice is usually muted in this text, it is more of an auxiliary function (Chase, 2009).

This article aims to present the characteristics of sex education in selected European countries. Particular attention should be paid to the need for compulsory and diligently conducted sexual education of young people as a preventive measure and a factor providing objective scientific truth. Normative systems and set of beliefs often create social taboos about sexuality. Based on the analysis of scientific sources published in Polish, French and English, this article also shows the essence of sex education in schools, as a way for young people to make the right choices, reduce the occurrence of risky behaviors and protect against and prevent sexually transmitted diseases, unplanned pregnancy and sexual violence. Acquiring true and consistent with the current state of knowledge information on the human sexual sphere should be carried out throughout life. Conducting professional sex education classes at school would be an opportunity for all students to have equal access to information on this subject. Both for those who talk to their parents and those for whom it is a taboo. The presented effects of the lack of sexual education in schools show that its reliable and professional implementation is a means of providing help to young people and their families. However, in order to change the approach of parents and students to attending classes in this subject, it is necessary to improve the quality of teaching in this subject and to make some changes to the curriculum.

PurposeSex education in China has been promoted for many years, but limited data are available regarding the sources from which adolescents receive sex‐related knowledge. The present study was designed to examine the sources from which Chinese adolescents obtain their information on puberty, sexuality and STI/HIV/AIDS, and whether there are any differences in sources of sex knowledge according to adolescents' demographic characteristics and sexual status.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected in 2001 in Changchun City, China. Unmarried adolescents 15‐19 years of age (322 males and 360 females) were included in a cross‐sectional survey using self‐administered questionnaires.FindingsSchoolteachers and mass media were identified as the two most important sources of sex knowledge. Sources of sex knowledge among adolescents on various topics (puberty, sexuality, and STI/HIV/AIDS) differed by the level of taboo associated with these topics in Chinese culture. The percentage of adolescents obtaining knowledge for puberty, sexuality, and STI/HIV/AIDS from teachers declined by topic (45.4, 30.7 and 18.4 percent, respectively), while the percentage of adolescents obtaining knowledge from television/movie increased by topic (6.7, 12.2 and 27.5 percent, respectively). Adolescents obtained knowledge on topics with less taboo (e.g. puberty) from teachers and obtained knowledge on topics with more taboo (e.g. sexuality, STI/HIV/AIDS) from mass media. However, this differs by having been sexually experienced or not. Parents were the primary source for sex knowledge on less taboo subjects. Doctors were the primary source for STI/HIV/AIDS knowledge. Sexually active adolescents obtained sex knowledge mainly from peers or mass media, while those adolescents who were not sexually experienced identified teachers and parents as the main sources of sex knowledge.Originality/valueThe current study illustrates that it is necessary to improve and enhance current sex education programs in China by recognizing and strengthening the role of parents, teachers, and health care professionals in adolescent sex education.

Thanks to the chosen methods we were able to investigate the features of three types of sexual education in the family: repressive, avoidant and expressive. Persons with a repressive type of sex education are the least sexually well-off, and their sexual scenarios are geared to compliance with existing rules (religious, ethical) and exclude pleasure. Respondents with the avoidant type of upbringing try to know everything in their own experience, thus filling in the lack of information, overestimating the number of sexual relations and their presence, they are dominated by a hedonistic and playful approach to sex without burdening themselves to build a healthy relationship, as well as the level of sex. Individuals with the expressive type are most capable of building a harmonious relationship, the most sexual well-being, and their sexual scenarios are flexible and diverse. Sex education is a powerful factor in shaping one's own sexuality and the way it is realized, which is reflected in the sexual scenarios chosen by the person.

Abstract: Introduction: The prevention of early sexual life and its unwanted consequences is a worldwide problem. National and international surveys have shown that adolescents have their first sexual intercourse at a younger age. Aim: The study aimed to determine the way of sexual education of young people provided by physicians – general practitioners, paediatricians, obstetricians, gynaecologists etc. – in accordance with the results of a questionnaire-based study, the experiences gained during the interactive education and the suggestions of international guidelines dealing with sexual education. Method: Self-administered questionnaire-based study was performed among 13–18-year-old girls attending primary or secondary school (N = 868) between 2009 and 2016. The sexual activity of adolescent girls, their knowledge related to contraception and sexually transmitted infectious diseases, gynaecological (e.g., cancer screening) experiences were measured before sexual education performed by a gynaecologist. Results: Every 4th girl had the first sexual act at the age of 14 or before, but at the same time their sexual knowledge was incomplete and there was a significant proportion of those who already have had sex but have never had a gynaecological examination. Conclusion: The results highlighted the educational deficiencies of reproductive life, which is a complex task to solve, to address the changing approach of national healthcare and education systems, to adopt and follow scientific evidence-based guidelines. All health-care workers who are in contact with adolescents during their work must be involved in the sexual education. It is essential to continue incorporating sex education into education from early childhood to young adult age. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(13): 494–501.

Abstract Background Deaths due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have surpassed those due to communicable diseases globally and are projected to do so in Africa by 2030. Despite demonstrated effectiveness in high-income country (HIC) settings, the ED is a primary source of NCD care that has been under-prioritized in Africa. In this study, we assess the burden of leading NCDs and NCD risk factors in Kenyan Casualty Department patients, to inform interventions targeting patients with NCDs in emergency care settings. Methods Using the WHO STEPwise approach to surveillance (STEPS) tool and the Personal Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), we conducted a survey of 923 adults aged 18 and over at Kenyatta National Hospital Emergency Department (KNH ED), the largest hospital in East Africa between May-October 2018. We used descriptive statistics and covariate-adjusted logistic analysis to analyze results. We included the following socio-demographic variables in our models: age, income, household size (t-test), sex, education, marital status, work status, and poverty status (chi-squared test or fisher's exact test). Findings More than a third of respondents had hypertension (35.8%, n=225/628), one in five had raised blood sugar or diabetes (18.3%, n=61/333), and more than one in ten reported having cardiovascular disease (11.7%, n=90/769). Having lower levels of education was associated with tobacco use (OR 6.0, 95% CI 2.808-12.618, p < 0.0001), while those with higher levels of education reported increased alcohol use (OR 0.620 (95% CI 0.386-0.994, p = 0.0472). While a predominant proportion of respondents had had some form of screening for either hypertension (80.3%, n=630/772), blood sugar (42.6%, n=334/767) or cholesterol (13.9%, n=109/766), the proportion of those on treatment was low, with the highest proportion being half of those diagnosed with hypertension reporting taking medication(51.6%, n=116/225). Determinants of disease burden were age, sex, and income. Interpretation Comprehension of the unique epidemiology and characteristics of patients presenting to the ED is key to guide care in African populations. Patient-driven interventions, and collaboration with community-based stakeholders such as patient navigators, are ideal considerations to sustainably address NCDs leveraging the ED in the resource-limited setting.

The paper dwells upon the study of logos as one of the sources of communicative pressure destructiveness. The paper considers peculiarities of realizing logos conflictogenes in various types of discourse: legal, socio-political and artistic. The material for the study is represented by transcripts of the lawyers’ speeches in the courtroom, transcripts of the politicians’ speeches in the parliament and socio-political talk shows, interviews, as well as excerpts from the works of art. With the language norm adopted as a speech standard, it is proposed to single out argumentation as an individual non-rhetorical type of persuasion. Rhetorical types of persuasion distinguish between speech persuasion as a cooperative type and communicative pressure as a confrontational type. Introduction of conflictogenes into one or more components of the speech model qualifies the speech persuasion as communicative pressure. A logos conflictogene is represented by an illogical statement caused by violation of the laws of formal logic. It is concluded that conflictogenes can perform their primary and secondary functions on the basis of which their possible combinations in the communicative pressure speech model are presented. The paper establishes the primary nature of logos conflictogenes. Moreover, their implementation in the speech model leads to the formation of secondary conflictogenes in the ethos. Although logos conflictogenes can realize the primary source of communicative pressure confrontation, most often they are accompanied by primary conflictogenes of the other components in the speech model. As a rule, it is stipulated by the lack of valid arguments which makes the addresser intensify speech persuasion by appealing to the emotional sphere of the addressee’s consciousness. Logos conflictogenes realizing communicative pressure should be distinguished from communicative errors, which are of an accidental unintentional nature and do not serve the pragmatic goal of the statement.

Se analizan las concepciones vigentes en el tratamiento de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos y los condicionantes que imponen las identidades de legisladores y legisladoras, referido a la ley 26150, sancionada en 2006, que crea el Programa Nacional de Educación Sexual Integral. La consideración de normas en las que el cuerpo se hace visible en un recinto público, comporta malestares y zozobras en legisladoras y legisladores en quienes pueden vislumbrarse las antiguas alianzas del peronismo con la iglesia y una retórica general moralizante. El consenso alcanzado para aprobar esta ley, no implica desconocer las resistencias que siguen subsistiendo en las prácticas concretas que se requieren para su implementación.Palabras claves: Identidades, género, derechos, educación sexualIdentities and  Practices in Conflict.

It discusses the current concepts in the treatment of sexual and reproductive rights and the constraints imposed by the identities of legislators, with reference to Act 26150, sanctioned into law in 2006, establishing the National Programme of Integral Sexual education. The consideration of standards in which the body becomes visible in a public venue, involves discomforts and disturbances in legislators in whom we glimpse the old alliances of Peronism with the Church and a general moralizing rhetoric. The consensus reached to approve this law does not ignore the resistances that still subsist in the specific practices that are required for their implementation. Keywords: Identity, gender, rights and sex education.
