Police Abuse

In Pakistan hijras (transgender people) live in the form of groups. When parents come to know that one of their children is hijra, they start to hate and abuse that child. They feel insulted to have a child who is neither male nor female. Other family members and relatives also exploit them. Due to this attitude of family, hijra youth leave their homes and start to live in the hijra community in the city. This study explains the given phenomenon in detail with some specific objectives. The objectives of this study are to explain the provision of basic rights to hijras and the problem faced by hijras in Pakistani society. How people behave with hijras is also among the objectives of this study. Qualitative research methods have been used to answer the questions in the present study. In this study, framework analysis tool has been used under the thematic analysis approach of data. Results of the present study revealed that hijras are the most misunderstood and socially excluded group of society. They are marginalized at every stage of society and not given basic rights. People are not willing to accept and give rights to them. The authorities, especially the police abuse them physically. Due to this societal behavior, hijras are involved in prostitution, drinking, and smoking. They get involve in these activities just because of their marginalization and lack of basic rights. This study concludes that there should be proper rights for the hijra community. Keywords: Gurus, Hijras, Islamabad, Marginalization, Rights

The water management of cities and villages faces many challenges. Aging infrastructure systems operate for many years after their theoretical lifetime (operation) with a very high need for reconstruction and repair. The solution is proper rainwater management. The investigated area is part of the cadastral area of the Nitra city. This article is based on the use of geographic information systems (GIS) as tools in proposing water retention measures that are needed to improve the microenvironment of the city. We proceeded in several steps, which consisted of area analysis, survey, surface runoff calculations in urbanized areas, proposal of a suitable solution for given location. For real possibilities of rainwater management procedures, a new site on the outskirts of the city was selected. In the given locality, it was possible to use water infiltration as a solution. The locality has suitable conditions of land ownership, pedological conditions, the slope of the area and also the interest of the inhabitants in the ecological solution. The outlined study indicates the need to continue research on the reliability of rainwater management practices.

Research has documented the experiences of transgender people in seeking employment. To date, no scholarship has explored the experiences of immigrant Latinx transgender people seeking employment in the United States. Using an intersectionality framework, the present study aimed to uncover the experiences of immigrant Latinx transgender people as they sought employment in the United States. A community sample of 18 immigrant Latinx transgender people from a large metropolitan city in Florida engaged in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed five themes related to participants’ experiences seeking employment, including: (1) discrimination, (2) limited options, (3) positive experiences, (4) momentary de-transition, and (5) disability benefits as financial relief. Future directions such as exploring ways in which immigrant Latinx transgender people resist discrimination while seeking job opportunities are discussed. Implications for practice and advocacy such as advocating for equitable employment policies that acknowledge the intersectional experiences of this community are presented.

<p><strong>BACKGROUND: </strong>Brain death is a concept in which its criteria have been expressed as documentations in Harvard Committee of Brain Death. The various perceptions of caregiver nurses for brain death patients may have effect on the chance of converting potential donors into actual organ donors.</p><p>Objective: The present study has been conducted in order to perceive the experiences of nurses in care-giving to the brain death of organ donor patients.</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> This qualitative study was carried out by means of Heidegger’s hermeneutic phenomenology. Eight nurses who have been working in ICU were interviewed. The semi-structured interviews were recorded bya tape-recorder and the given texts were transcribed and the analyses were done by Van-Mannen methodology and (thematic) analysis.</p><p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>One of the foremost themes extracted from this study included ‘Halo of ambiguity and doubt’ that comprised of two sub-themes of ‘having unreasonable hope’ and ‘Conservative acceptance of brain death’. The unreasonable hope included lack of trust (uncertainty) in diagnosis and verification of brain death, passing through denial wall, and avoidance from explicit and direct disclosure of brain death in patients’ family. In this investigation, the nurses were involved in a type of ambiguity and doubt in care-giving to the potentially brain death of organ donor patients, which were also evident in their interaction with patients’ family and for this reason, they did not definitely announce the brain death and so far they hoped for treatment of the given patient. Such confusion and hesitance both caused annoyance of nurses and strengthening the denial of patients’ family to be exposed to death.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> The results of this study reveal the fundamental perceived care-giving of brain death in organ donor patients and led to developing some strategies to improve care-giving and achievement in donation of the given organ and necessity for presentation of educational and supportive services for nurses might become more evident than ever.</p>

Abstract. The paper presents a novel adaptive parametric documentation, modelling and sharing methodology, which aims to achieve a continuous holistic documentation, data processing and sharing process for cultural heritage community, such as architects, engineers, archaeologists, conservators, programmers, fabricators, contest creators, game developers, scholars and common citizens. Thus, the use of advance parametric and building information modelling software allows the processing and specification of all data by creating the 3D models needed for the multidisciplinary experts. Two Cypriot case studies from the medieval time period have been chosen for the development, and evaluation of our proposed methodology in order to investigate the process of modelling and sharing all the given metadata and 3D data. The first one is the Asinou Church, a UNESCO Heritage stone monument in the Troodos Mountains with a unique interior and the Kolossi Castle, a former Crusader stronghold on the west of the city of Limassol on the island of Cyprus.

Archaeological data from the city of Athens entered into Archaeology in Greece Online this year are derived from recent work announced in the press or unpublished field reports and from the latest Archaiologikon Deltion, covering work in 2005. The difficulty of bridging this gap of almost a decade is eased greatly by the publication of a series of lectures held at the Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens by members of the Ephoreias of Athens and Attica, covering in a much more detailed way than ADelt allows many important excavations and research projects. The support of the Goulandris and Latsis Foundations, both in organizing the lectures and in publishing them in timely fashion and at very low cost (€10 per volume), is to be applauded (M. Dogka-Toli and S. Oikonomidou (eds), Αρχαιολογικές συμβολές.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse existing clinical supervision frameworks to develop a supervision meta-model. Design/methodology/approach – This research involved a thematic analysis of existing supervision frameworks used to support allied health practitioners working in rural or remote settings in Australia to identify key domains of supervision which could form the basis of supervision framework in this context. A three-tiered sampling approach of the selection of supervision frameworks ensured the direct relevance of the final domains identified to Australian rural allied health practitioners, allied health practitioners generally and to the wider area of health supervision. Thematic analysis was undertaken by Framework analysis methodology using Mindmapping software. The results were organised into a new conceptual model which places the practitioner at the centre of supervision. Findings – The review included 17 supervision frameworks, encompassing 13 domains of supervision: definitions; purpose and function; supervision models; contexts; content; Modes of engagement; Supervisor attributes; supervisory relationships; supervisor responsibilities; supervisee responsibilities; structures/process for supervision and support; facilitators and barriers; outcomes. The authors developed a reflective, supervision and support framework “Connecting Practice” that is practitioner centred, recognises the tacit and explicit knowledge that staff bring to the relationship, and enables them to identify their own goals and support networks within the context in which they work. Research limitations/implications – This is a thematic analysis of the literature which was argely based on an analysis of grey literature. Practical implications – The resulting core domains of supervision provide an evidence-based foundation for the development of clinical supervision models which can be adapted to a range of contexts. Social implications – An outcome of this paper is a framework called Connecting Practice which organises the domains of supervision in a temporal way, separating those domains that can be modified to improve the supervision framework, from those which are less easily modifiable. This approach is important to help embed the implementation of supervision and support into organisational practice. This paper adds to the existing growing body of work around supervision by helping understand the domains or components that make up the supervisory experience. Originality/value – Connecting Practice replaces traditional, more hierarchical models of supervision to put the practitioner at the centre of a personalised supervision and support network.

Los romanies son uno de los grupos más marginados y socialmente excluidos de Grecia. La discriminación, las barreras y la exclusión social se deben principalmente a las opiniones estereotipadas y los prejuicios que se han configurado para ellos a lo largo de los años. El objetivo de esta investigación fue investigar las actitudes y los prejuicios hacia los romanies según los puntos de vista de los profesionales del bienestar, la salud y la educación. La encuesta se realizó con metodología cualitativa y, en particular, con entrevistas semiestructuradas. El grupo de entrevistados incluyó a treinta profesionales de bienestar social, salud y educación que trabajan en diferentes servicios en la ciudad de Atenas. Las investigaciones han demostrado que los profesionales del bienestar, la salud y la educación, bajo la influencia de actitudes sociales soberanas, pueden correr el riesgo de ser las mismas ideas preconcebidas y negativas hacia los romanies que la población general. Los resultados de la encuesta respaldan la necesidad de desarrollar intervenciones apropiadas para reducir la sensación de amenaza y cambio de las actitudes negativas de los profesionales de servicios hacia los romanies, centrándose en las intervenciones de enfoque multicultural, crítico y antirrepresivo y la adopción de políticas multiculturales, aceptación de la diversidad y combate discriminación.The Roma are one of the most marginalised and socially excluded groups in Greece. They face discrimination, barriers and social exclusion mainly as a result of anti-Roma stereotypes and prejudices formed throughout the centuries. The purpose of this research was to investigate attitudes and prejudices towards the Roma according to the views of education, health and social welfare professionals. The research used qualitative methods and in particular a semi-structured interview. The group of interviewees included twenty three professionals working in various settings in the city of Athens. The research showed that welfare, health and education professionals, under the influence of dominant social attitudes, are likely to become vehicles of the same anti-Roma prejudices and negative attitudes held by the general population. The research results highlight the need to develop appropriate intervention measures designed to reduce the feeling of threat and change the negative anti-Roma attitudes of these professionals, by focusing on multicultural, critical and anti-oppressive approaches and adopting multicultural policies aimed at accepting diversity and fighting discrimination.

Background: On December 26, 2003, an earthquake occurred in the city of Bam in Iran which completely destroyed the city. National and international responses to the calamity were quick and considerable and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) from all over the world conducted extensive emergency assistance, fulfilling a crucial role during the emergency.The present study discusses some difficulties and problems which originated from the activities of international NGOs during their response to the Bam earthquake.Methods: A qualitative study using semistructured interview technique was conducted with nineteen public health and therapeutic affairs managers who were directly responsible for response and recovery in Bam. Analysis of the data was carried out by the framework analysis technique and supported by qualitative research software, the Atlas.ti.Results: The study found that although international NGOs did their best to help people in the region, they also had some adverse impacts on the community in the disaster affected areas. The problems originated from lack of knowledge of cultural issues, inefficient timing for the delivery of funds and services, uneven goods delivery, and poor communication with local people and authorities.Conclusions: The study’s findings could have implications for the international aid organizations including the United Nations (UN). Some activities such as roles and responsibilities of the NGOs; networking; and coordination and education of the NGOs could serve as the cornerstone for improvement of their efforts during disasters.
