DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS: NARRATIVES OF WOMEN WASTE PICKERS

The aim of this research is to analyze the interface between domestic violence and psychological distress, from the perspective of women who waste recyclable materials. This is a qualitative study, with a social constructionist approach, conducted with twenty women waste pickers, living in the Federal District, Brazil. The semi-structured interview was used as a data collection instrument and the Association of Ideas maps for analysis of the contents of the speeches. The contents extracted from the collected narratives are divided into three thematic categories: violence producing psychic suffering, resources to cope with violence, and work and psychic suffering among women who work with solid waste. At work, we noticed personal memories of the suffering experienced and experienced in the present time in the workspace. In reading women, there are few resources to help, even with the knowledge of the legal resource. However, there were indications of self-knowledge of the right to life, respect and appreciation of being a woman. It is concluded that resistance strategies with psychosocial, legal and protective care for women are necessary, to proactively support the reduction of their vulnerabilities and facilitate the expansion of their capacities to face the causes of violence, and to produce care, support and prevention networks, which include their children.

Contribution to the special issue on clinical ethology: Ethogram of non-verbal behaviours associated with emotional regulation and stress response in children and adolescents with complex trauma

Complex trauma is a clinical concept developed to address the nature and effects of interpersonal traumatic experiences over the development of children and adolescents. To contribute to the development of ecologically valid diagnostic tools and a better understanding of the effects of complex trauma, an ethogram of emotional regulation and stress response behaviours was proposed and used as the main instrument in the Crossed-Puzzles Game. In total 84 children and adolescents aged 6–14 (50% of children with complex trauma in state protective care) were selected from institutions and the community. Both groups were matched by age, sex, and socioeconomic status. PCA, PERMANOVA, Mann-Whitney’s U, Pearson correlations, and logistic regression analyses were performed. The ethogram’s category ‘Externalising of frustration’ was identified as one of the strongest predictors for the complex trauma group. The ethogram’s validity as a research and assessment instrument from a clinical ethology perspective of complex trauma in psychology was discussed.

THE EFFECT OF MASSAGE ON THE PREVENTION OF COMPRESSION STOCKINGASSOCIATED PRESSURE INJURY IN INTENSIVE CARE PATIENTS

AIM:Effect of massage on prevention of antiembolic stockings- associated pressure injury (AES-API). MATERIALS AND METHODS: It is a quasi-experimental design design. The massage group (n=30) received skin massage and skin protective care with a moisturizer at least 3 times or at every change of position (every 2 hours a day) in a day during the period they wore AES.The nonmassage group(n=39),no massage was performed. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the massage group and nonmassage groups during ICU admission. The duration of AES use in the massage group was longer than that of the nonmassage group during the treatment and care period (p>0.05). However, AES-API only observed in the nonmassage group (n=5;12.8%). CONCLUSION:The short superficial skin massage may beneficial for its prevention for AES-API.

Newark, Newark, Newark

This chapter on Roth’s life growing up in Newark, New Jersey, focuses on the city’s history and colorful personalities, from boxers to gangsters. Longy Zwillman, kingpin bootlegger who discovered Jean Harlow, and Rabbi Joachim Prinz, who will sponsor Roth’s first trip to Israel in 1963 and appear in The Plot Against America, are key figures. Family life and the challenges his father faced as an insurance salesman for Metropolitan Life are crucial elements in understanding Roth’s origins, as well as the protective care of his mother and the adventures of his brother who went off to art school and the Navy. The chapter also analyzes the importance of Newark, especially the Weequahic section, for Roth’s writing and how its reality differed from his often idealized depiction of the city. Sports, movies, girls, and high school, as well as the story of the Jews of Newark, become the center of the chapter, expanded by his early love of reading and trips to the library.

Black Girls and the Talk? Policing, Parenting, and the Politics of Protection

Black girls are marginalized from mainstream discourses and familial discussions on policing, and little is known about how families conceptualize strategies for mitigating their risk of police sexual assault and harassment. Through 30 in-depth interviews with black mothers, this article explores how social class shapes protective care strategies for reducing girls’ risk of police contact and sexual violence. While the primary police talk emphasizes black boys’ vulnerability to lethal and physical violence, I identify two additional socialization practices, or “talks” for black girls: The respectability talk is a middle-class socialization strategy that avoids direct associations between black girls and police; this talk works to minimize risk through teaching black girls how to be “ladies” by embodying racialized gendered norms that constrain their behavior and autonomy. The predatory talk is a predominantly working-class socialization strategy which aims to equip black girls with an awareness of police sexual violence and the tools for avoiding sexual assault and harassment from officers when alone or at night. The article illustrates how protective care strategies for black girls are intertwined with social class and have divergent consequences for understanding agency and responsibility for police sexual violence.

Wychowanie do ochrony przyrody w twórczości Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej

In the Second Republic of Poland, the education for the protection of nature was a part of an implicit didactic and educational process realized in primary and secondary schools – first of all as part of the education in natural science and geography (tourism). The kind of educational climate was created, connected with the establishment of protective care and sensibility for the natural environment, especially the indigenous nature. The article presents the analysis and interpretation of the printed sources, among others the publications by Maximilian Heilpern, Konrad Chmielewski, Hipolita Selmowiczówna-Gnoińska and Maria Lipska-Librachowa as well as Bronisław Gustawicz, Mieczysław Brzeziński, which were used in the didactic and educational practice in the period of the Second Republic of Poland in the process of shaping ecological attitudes. Many of them originated still in the years of Poland’s enslavement. They form valuable historical sources for studying, explaining and understanding the ecological education in the interwar period (1918–1939) – as an antecedence of the newest development trends in the educational theory and practice on ecology.

The Changing Face of Out-of-home Care in Australia – Developing Policy and Practice for the 21st Century

This Opinion Piece traces the rise of statutory kinship care in Australia from the progressive reduction of residential care and the struggle to recruit sufficient foster carers to meet demand for protective care. It outlines identified benefits of kinship care for children and flags concern about the early stage of development of kinship care policy, programs and data systems. It is argued that there are significant risks for children's safety and well-being in failing to assess carers thoroughly and to provide equitable case management and support (both financial and non-financial) to children in kinship care as in foster care.
