Violent Victimisation

In the last few years, a number of high-profile cases of sexual and violent offending have been committed after the offender and victim met through a mobile dating application (dating app). Subsequent media and popular rhetoric have positioned dating app sexual and violent offending as a major safety concern. A literature review was conducted to determine the prevalence of dating app violence, the design features of dating apps that create and prevent opportunities for violence to occur, and the prevention strategies used by individual users and app designers. Results suggest that dating app users are at greater risk of sexual and violent victimisation than non-users. Dating app features designed to promote safety and connectedness paradoxically place users at risk of victimisation. Although some dating apps feature innovative safety mechanisms, most place the onus on users to protect themselves against victimisation. More research is needed to inform prevention and intervention efforts.

Introduction: Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a treatment sequela with negative physical and psychological implications. BCRL is a lifetime concern for survivors and is currently incurable. With the increase in the Latino population in the United States, it is critical for the cancer care community to address factors that increase BCRL risk and negatively impact long-term quality of life. This literature review undertook to identify successful intervention strategies for BCRL among Latina survivors. Methods: Multiple databases were searched for published articles from 2006 to 2020. PRISMA guidelines were utilized. Data were extracted related to physical activity, diet, and psychosocial stress concerns of Latinas at risk for or living with BCRL. Results: Eleven interventions combined education and skill-building techniques to address physical activity, diet, and stress management for BCRL. Family involvement, peer-mentoring, culturally tailored education, and self-care skill development were identified as important for Latina survivors. Conclusion: Latina survivors may benefit from culturally tailored BCRL education programs and self-management interventions. Health care professionals and researchers should consider cultural influences when developing clinical intervention strategies to enhance outcomes for Latinas at risk for living with BCRL. In addition, including family members and/or peers in such strategies may be helpful to Latina survivors.

This paper examines academic library services to at-risk students in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). It aims to explore theoretical approaches that can direct more targeted support and service models as an intervention for students who are at risk of failure. The paper specifically analyses Nan Lin’s concept of social capital theory with its particular emphasis on social network analysis. The study which directed this paper, employed a conceptual analysis as a methodology by which the literature review was used as a basis for analysing the research questions of the paper. Outcomes from the analysis indicate that Lin’s concept of social capital theory has the potential to provide a method for measuring social capital that can be assessed against information seeking outcomes. Recommendations suggest the importance of the theory as a methodological tool for investigating relationships between individuals and their social contexts, which could also be adopted by academic libraries in higher education to enhance students’ learning outcomes and educational experience in the 4IR.

Abstract: Tooth loss which is often found among elderly may cause problems in mastication. Chewing efficiency may decrease if the elderly do not replace the function of the missing teeth by using dentures. This can further affect their nutritional intake and nutritional status. This study was aimed to explore scientific information regarding differences in elderly nutritional status of removable denture wearers and non-denture wearers. This was a literature review study by searching data on three databases, namely Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using keywords and a combination of boolean operators. After being selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, a critical appraisal was performed, and 10 literatures were obtained consisting of cross-sectional, cohort, and randomized controlled trial design studies. The results showed that the percentage of the elderly with normal nutritional status was higher in denture wearers than in non-denture wearers. There was an increase in nutritional status based on MNA and MNA-SF scores in the elderly after wearing removable dentures. Among elderly, the nutritional status of denture wearers was relatively at risk of malnutrition, while of non-denture wearers was at risk of malnutrition and experienced malnutrition. In conclusion, risk of malnutrition and the occurrence of malnutrition are greater in non-denture wearer elderly.Keywords: nutritional status; elderly; tooth loss; denture wearers; removable dentures  Abstrak: Kehilangan gigi yang banyak ditemukan pada lansia dapat menyebabkan timbulnya gangguan dalam pengunyahan. Efisiensi kunyah dapat menurun bila lansia tidak menggantikan fungsi gigi asli yang hilang dengan menggunakan gigi tiruan. Hal tersebut dapat berpengaruh terhadap asupan nutrisi dan status gizi lansia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah mengenai perbedaan status gizi pada lansia pengguna dan bukan pengguna gigi tiruan lepasan. Jenis penelitian ialah suatu literature review dengan pencarian data pada tiga database yaitu Pubmed, ScienceDirect, dan Google Scholar menggunakan kata kunci dan kombinasi boolean operator. Setelah diseleksi berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi, dilakukan critical appraisal, dan didapatkan 10 literatur dengan desain studi cross sectional, cohort, dan randomized controlled trial. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan persentase lansia dengan status gizi normal lebih besar ditemukan pada lansia pengguna gigi tiruan daripada lansia bukan pengguna gigi tiruan. Terdapat peningkatan status gizi berdasarkan skor MNA dan MNA-SF pada lansia setelah pemakaian gigi tiruan lepasan. Status gizi lansia pengguna gigi tiruan relatif berisiko malnutrisi, sedangkan pada lansia bukan pengguna gigi tiruan berisiko malnutrisi dan mengalami malnutrisi. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah risiko malnutrisi dan terjadinya malnutrisi lebih besar ditemukan pada lansia bukan pengguna gigi tiruan.Kata kunci: status gizi, lansia; kehilangan gigi; pengguna gigi tiruan; gigi tiruan lepasan

This research focuses on the crisis that the documentary Blackfish precipitated at SeaWorld. The study begins with a brief account of the growth and evolution of SeaWorld and the financial and reputational damage that followed Blackfish’s release in 2013. A literature review of framing and frame theory follows. Next, the three issue-related, transformative frames embedded in the text/video of Blackfish are identified and analyzed; then the three main counter frames deployed by SeaWorld are identified and analyzed. The conclusion discusses how and why Blackfish prevailed in this high-profile framing contest. It does so by discussing the resonance, coherence, and credibility of the documentary’s anticaptivity narrative and its superiority over SeaWorld’s counterframing campaign. Perhaps even more important, the conclusion briefly examines how the tectonic shift in late-20th-century public opinion regarding animal rights—the kairotic backdrop of this crisis—forced SeaWorld to fundamentally change its business model in order to meet the dictates of this new ethos and to reestablish its postcrisis legitimacy.

Contrast-induced nephropathy is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired renal failure, after decreased renal perfusion and nephrotoxic medications. Identification of patients at risk and implementation of preventive strategies can decrease the incidence of this nephropathy. Prevention strategies focus on counteracting vasoconstriction, enhancing blood flow through the nephron, and providing protection against injury by oxygen free radicals. Knowledge of the adverse effects associated with infusion of contrast media, identification of patients at risk for contrast-induced nephropathy, and application of evidence-based prevention strategies allow nurses to assist in the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy.
