Person to Person in Ecuador
No full textWhile still in the midst of their study abroad experiences, students at Linfield College write reflective essays. Their essays address issues of cultural similarity and difference, compare lifestyles, mores, norms, and habits between their host countries and home, and examine changes in perceptions about their host countries and the United States. In this essay, Chloe Shield describes her observations during her study abroad program at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador

Legal issues of human shields
No full textThe paper focuses on analyzing whether the civilians involved in the hostilities as involuntary
human shields enjoy the same legal protection under the law as voluntary human shields. The
author looks at the differences between voluntary and involuntary human shields and the
aspect of direct and indirect participation in hostilities. The analysis is based upon
International Law and Criminal Law articles and interpretations concerning the notion of
human shields. In addition, multiple cases where the human shields were observed, were also
examined to understand the court practice on how the court deals with the law breaches in
contemporary armed conflicts

No full textIMPORTANCE Understanding causes and correlates of health loss among children and
adolescents can identify areas of success, stagnation, and emerging threats and thereby
facilitate effective improvement strategies.
OBJECTIVE To estimate mortality and morbidity in children and adolescents from 1990 to
2017 by age and sex in 195 countries and territories.IMPORTANCIA La comprensión de las causas y los correlatos de la pérdida de salud entre los niños y
los adolescentes pueden identificar áreas de éxito, estancamiento y amenazas emergentes, y por lo tanto
Facilitar estrategias efectivas de mejora.

Gender differences and deliberate self-injury
No full textSelf-injurious behaviours are associated with long-term negative consequences for social, emotional and physical wellbeing. As such, and in order to inform the development of both treatment plans and preventive approaches, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive understanding of the a etiological factors associated with self-injury. In the first instance, literature assessing the prevalence of self-injury in adolescents was systematically assessed in order to determine the presence of gender differences. This was in response to a lack of clarity within the self-injury field as to whether there are gender differences in the prevalence of self-injurious behaviours. Thirty seven studies were included in the final review and were grouped according to the exclusion of suicidal intent and the assessment method of self-injury. Common methodological limitations across all studies are discussed, including the variation in definition and assessment of self-injury. Results suggested that female adolescents were significantly more likely to report engaging in self-injurious behaviour than males. However, it is unclear whether this finding reflects a gender bias in how self-injury is assessed, or whether there is a true difference in self-injury rates. Gender differences were also reported in both the method and function of self-injury. Recommendations are offered with respect to future research and regarding ‘gold standard’ methods of assessment. In an empirical study, we aimed to improve our understanding of the risk factors and potential functions of self-injurious females and, specifically, whether these differed by gender. Based on previous literature it was hypothesised that an insecure attachment style, either anxious or avoidant, may result in deficits in effective emotion regulation skills. As such, these individuals may become reliant on maladaptive strategies such as self-injury. Three hundred and seventy adults completed measure of attachment style, emotion dysregulation, alexithymia and self-injury. Results suggested a lifetime prevalence of 50.8%, which was notably higher than previous research findings. Furthermore, and contrary to previous research, there were no significant gender differences in prevalence. With respect to the proposed model of mediation, in females there was clear evidence to suggest that emotion dysregulation mediates the relationship between attachment insecurity and self-injurious behaviour. This has important implications for the development of effective preventative and treatment approaches for self-injury in females. In contrast, no such relationship was demonstrated in males. This suggests the need for future research efforts directed at understanding the origins and function of self-injury in males
