Domestic violence is a problem that often remains unseen, hidden behind the walls of the family home. Yet it occurs in all segments of society—in all economic, ethnic, cultural, and religious groups. Its psychological and sociological complexities make it hard to face and even harder to understand.

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence – It’s No Laughing Matter

October is Domestic Violence awareness month. This is commemorated with a purple ribbon that you may have seen some wear on their lapel or maybe on their Twitter or Facebook avatar. Domestic violence is an epidemic that affects women in all communities regardless of age, economic status, race, religion, nationality or educational background. There’s a common misconception that only uneducated or poor women experience domestic violence, or that it’s not a widespread problem.

Domestic violence, also known as domestic abuse, spousal abuse or intimate partner violence (IPV), can be broadly defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors by one or both partners in an intimate relationship such as marriage, dating, family, friends or cohabitation.^[1] Domestic violence has many forms including physical aggression (hitting, kicking, biting, shoving, restraining, slapping, throwing objects), or threats thereof; sexual abuse; emotional abuse; controlling or domineering; intimidation; stalking; passive/covert abuse (e.g., neglect); and economic deprivation.^[1] Alcohol consumption^[2] and mental illness^[3] can be co-morbid with abuse, and present additional challenges when present alongside patterns of abuse.

Sex and Evolution

George Christopher Williams, “Sex and Evolution. (MPB-8)” Publisher: Princeton University | 1975 | ISBN 0691081522 | PDF | 210 pages | 2.8 MB

This book explores the relationship between various types of reproduction and the evolutionary process. Starting with the concept of meiosis, George C. Williams states the conditions under which an organism with both sexual and asexual reproductive capacities will employ each mode. He argues that in low-fecundity higher organisms, sexual reproduction is generally maladaptive, and persists because there is no ready means of developing an asexual alternative.  DOWNLOAD or  MIROR

World Radiography Day

• 8 November

Today is World Radiography Day and is encouraging all students and radiographers – diagnostic and therapeutic – to plan events. Open days, competitions, exhibitions, school visits and ideas to raise awareness of the profession are held by departments and higher educational institutions.

Radiography is the use of X-rays to view a cross sectional area of a non uniformly composed material such as the human body. By utilizing the physical properties of the ray an image can be developed displaying clearly, areas of different density and composition.

A heterogeneous beam of X-rays is produced by an X-ray generator and is projected toward an object. According to the density and composition of the different areas of the object a proportion of X-rays are absorbed by the object. The X-rays that pass through are then captured behind the object by a detector (film sensitive to X-rays or a digital detector) which gives a 2D representation of all the structures superimposed on each other. In tomography, the X-ray source and detector move to blur out structures not in the focal plane. Computed tomography (CT scanning) is different to plain film tomography in that computer assisted reconstruction is used to generate a 3D representation of the scanned object/patient.

Radiography started in 1895 with the discovery of X-rays, also referred to as Röntgen rays after Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen who first described their properties in rigorous detail. These previously unknown rays (hence the X) were found to be a type of electromagnetic radiation. It wasn’t long before X-rays were used in various applications, from helping to fit shoes, to the medical uses that have persisted. X-rays were put to diagnostic use very early, before the dangers of ionizing radiation were discovered. Indeed, Marie Curie pushed for radiography to be used to treat wounded soldiers in World War I. Initially, many kinds of staff conducted radiography in hospitals, including physicists, photographers, doctors, nurses, and engineers. The medical specialty of radiology grew up over many years around the new technology. When new diagnostic tests were developed, it was natural for the radiographers to be trained in and to adopt this new technology. Radiographers now often do fluoroscopy, computed tomography, mammography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging as well. Although a nonspecialist dictionary might define radiography quite narrowly as “taking X-ray images”, this has long been only part of the work of “X-ray departments”, radiographers, and radiologists. Initially, radiographs were known as roentgenograms. [Read more]

Reiki

Reiki (霊気^?, English pronunciation: /ˈreɪkiː/) is a spiritual practice^[1] developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. It uses a technique commonly called palm healing as a form of complementary and alternative medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some professional bodies.^[2] Through the use of this technique, practitioners transfer healing energy in the form of ki through the palms.^[3]

There are two main branches of Reiki, commonly referred to as Traditional Japanese Reiki and Western Reiki. Within both Traditional and Westernised forms of Reiki, there are three forms of degrees, commonly referred to as the First, Second, and Master/Teacher degree. According to Reiki practitioners and Masters, at First Degree, a Reiki practitioner is able to heal himself and others, at Second Degree is able to heal others distantly (commonly called distant healing) with the use of specialised symbols, and at Master level (specifically Master/Teacher level) is able to teach and attune others to Reiki.

A 2008 systematic review of randomised clinical trials^[4] concluded that “..the evidence is insufficient to suggest that reiki is an effective treatment..” for the conditions studied (depression, pain and anxiety, and others).
