Analyzing actual crime victimizations of people with dementia in criminal court judgment databases in Japan

ABSTRACT People with dementia suffer not only from symptoms but also from social vulnerability including an increased risk of abuse and criminal victimization. In existing quantitative studies, the data are based on reports by people with dementia themselves, their family members, or concerned persons, which may be insufficient to accurately identify the actual mechanisms and circumstances of abuse or victimization. To speculate on the exact realities of people with dementia victimization, we extracted criminal sentences of perpetrators collected from the Japanese judgment database. A total of 152 cases in approximately 23 years included various victimization situations; these cases were classified into six categories of harm (physical, psychological, neglect, sexual, financial, and miscellaneous) and five categories of perpetrator (spouse, child, other family, supporter, and stranger or other). There were 93 cases of physical victimization by the spouse or child, which were statistically analyzed. Through case inspections, we provide an accurate victimization process of people with dementia and propose a four-class typology of physical victimization by the family: care exhaustion, antipathy to people with dementia, self-righteous or self-contained family, and continuous abuse type. These case scrutinies and their classifications may contribute to interventions regarding the support of people with dementia and their families.

Person Centred Care in Neurological Rehabilitation: A Case Study and Critical Reflection

Healthcare systems and organizations consider maintaining and improving the quality of their service provisions whilst also being mindful of strategies to mitigate identified gaps in their clinical services. One such approach that has found favour among healthcare teams and institutions is that of person centered care. Person centered care places emphasis on situating the individual at the core of the decision-making process, identifying, and illuminating what is of greatest importance to the concerned person. The approach fosters a belief in equal and collaborative goal setting between the person and their healthcare team, respecting the individual’s needs and their preferences as people. One area where this approach can be adopted is that of neurological rehabilitation. The ethos of mutual respect and partnership between the individual and the multidisciplinary team can guide and inform the process of rehabilitation. This paper aims to deliver a critical appraisal of the application of the principles of person centered care in neurological rehabilitation. This will be referenced to a clinical scenario involving a young person with a stroke. The case will link the theory of person centered care discussing the models and frameworks realised in the clinical story. This will lead to a discussion and conclusion on the value of person centered care for people, professionals, teams, and organizations.

Intelligent Helmet System for Prevention of Accidents

Abstract: India, like, has a huge number of road accidents almost every year. The accidents may be due to like many reasons like by drinking and driving, driving like rashly, exceeding the speed limit, etc., you know. Sometimes, the person who like gets injured might not be like responsible for the Accident, you know what I mean. It might be the fault of some other vehicle rider, maybe. But overall, both riders will get like affected, kind of. Due to a lack, you know, of first aid and emergency medical services on time, the riders may like die, which is kind of sad, you know. Some deaths are occurred due to the ambulance not reaching the desired location on time, which is, like, bad, you know. In case of an accident, to save time and inform the concerned person, a system is proposed like which can made sure that the rider gets the required attention in a short time, you know. In, like, India, many people use two-wheeler vehicles as compared to four-wheeler vehicles because of its, you know, low which is kind, like, interesting, you know what I mean. In many accidents, the rider gets injured mainly on the head, kind of, you know. A helmet kind of plays a very important role in saving the life of the ridden, you know what I mean. So to encourage people to wear helmets and to avoid accidents, a design is proposed that synchronizes the, you know, module present in the bike, which is kind of cool.

Qualitative Evaluation of a Novel Security Role to Reduce Occupational Violence in Inpatient Hospital Settings.

Background: Occupational violence (OV) is a priority issue that significantly affects the safety of nurses, leading to staff burnout and poor retention issues. Security personnel are common in inpatient settings, yet there is limited research on their role, function, and impacts. The study aims to qualitatively evaluate a novel security role to reduce OV in inpatient settings. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Brisbane, Queensland. A novel security role (Ambassador) was piloted in three inpatient wards over 6 months in 2020 to mitigate OV risk. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted. All interviews were audio recorded. Interview transcripts were transcribed. Deductive analysis based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) was used to identify the experiences and perceptions of the participants. Findings: 17 participants were interviewed. Five themes were identified including program characteristics, internal drivers, external drivers, individual experience, and implementation process. An Ambassador proactively engages with patients and visitors and employs behavioral strategies to de-escalate or redirect persons of concern. Participants considered Ambassadors to be important members of the health care team who supported the provision of patient and family-centered care. Successful implementation was said to require collaboration between clinical and security services and a small agile project team with authority and autonomy. Conclusion/Application to practice: This study provides many insights into the successful implementation of a novel security role in acute hospital settings. More research is needed on the effectiveness, appropriateness, feasibility, and cost of different security models.

Prevalence and factors associated with cyberbullying among adolescents (15-19 years) in Gurugram District - A community based cross-sectional study.

Digitalization in the form of increased Internet use through screen media has also shown its ramification like cyberbullying. They are aggressive acts with the intention or motivation to harm another person through technology. The aim is to study the prevalence of cyberbullying and its association with mental illness in the adolescent age group (15-19 years). This community-based cross-sectional study was rolled out among adolescents aged 15-19 years. A total of 387 were given a semistructured interviewer-administered questionnaire consisting of general details, cyberbullying victimization, and offending questions, PHQ-9 and GAD-7. The mean (SD) age was 16.8 (1.3) years. More than half (53.2%) were males, and nearly three-fourths (74.4%) were school-going. Around 28.2% reported being cyberbullied at least once in their lifetime. About 7.0% of adolescents were cyberbullied more than once, and 0.8% more than five times in the past 30 days. The most common ways were posting a mean or hurtful picture (31.9%) and the concerned person's comments (24.2%) online. Multivariable logistic regression analysis found that adolescents attending colleges (AOR 1.9, 95% CI 1.1 to 3.4), using tobacco (AOR 2.5, 95% CI 1.4 to 4.5), and depressed (of any severity, AOR 2.0, 95% CI 1.1 to 4.3) were at significantly increased risk of being cyberbullied (P < 0.05). The prevalence of cyberbullying among adolescents aged 15-19 is notable, with significant associations found between cyberbullying and attending college, tobacco use, and depression. Understanding the correlates of cyberbullying can inform targeted interventions to support mental health and well-being among adolescents.

Mediating Effect of Gender Based Violence on the Fit of Public Health Consequences and Societal Impact of Refugees in Uganda

Purpose: The current study was undertaken to establish the mediating effect of gender based violence on the fit of public health consequences and societal impact of refugees in Uganda so as to come up with a unified model for improvements in Uganda. The main objective was to investigate the mediating effect of gender based violence on the fit of public health consequences and societal impact of refugees in Uganda.&#x0D; Materials and Methods: In an effort to address the set objective, a cross-sectional survey design which followed both quantitative and qualitative research approaches was adopted. Data was collected from a total quantitative sample of 311 refugees. A qualitative sample of 68 of refugee stakeholders’ and officials from office of the Prime Minister in Uganda was determined by saturation point approach. The data was analysed at descriptive and inferential level, and later a Path Equation Model was fitted through Structural Equation Modelling in Stata Version 14.0.&#x0D; Findings: The key references in the study are (Moretti, S.,2021) who aver that in accordance with Division of International Protection, Gender based violence is preventable and UNHCR is committed to promoting gender equality and human rights and to protecting refugees and other persons of concern from GBV as well as (Heise,2018) who had earlier found Gender based violence brings negative public health consequences thus impacting society negatively. The overall result in regard to Gender Based Violence among refugees in Bidibidi camp indicate that it is highly practiced (M = 5.32, SD = 0.88). The results also indicated exists there exists a positive significant influence of Gender Based violence on public health consequences of the refugees (r = 0.379). The study results on the overall shows average level of social impact amongst the refugees (Mean = 3.26) but with a very high level of discrepancy (SD = 1.07&gt; 0.5) with some refugees and stakeholders reporting good levels of society impact. This relationship is statistically significant since the associated p – value of 0.000 is less than 0.05 (p &lt; 0.001). The study concluded that that sufficient evidence substantiates significant relationship exists between gender based violence and societal impact.&#x0D; Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Finally, the gender based violence and the other strategies had a total causal effect of 11.57% on societal impact. However, the society impact referred to only applied to the current environment which did not promise continued Survival into the future. Given that fact the study has proposed the Protracted Gender based Violence Diminution Model (PROGBVD MODEL) which guarantees not only societal impact but also tremendous reduction in gender based violence to an additional 21.2% to make it 32.77% sustained reduction. This, therefore, means that if the new Model is adopted, the refugees will not only be provided reduced Gender based Violence for a short period of time but will get it for many years to come. The Protracted Gender based Violence Diminution Model (PROGBVD MODEL) is, henceforth, the current study contribution to knowledge.

AI Kitchen

Purpose: Using several smart gadgets makes the kitchen smart. The picture of the kitchen from ancient has drastically changed. Now, the kitchen is glorified using modern technology. The kitchen chimney, microwave oven, etc., is more convenient for the kitchen. Now, AI has come, and every day, more and more devices are becoming AI-enabled. In this scenario, we demonstrated the project in an AI-enabled kitchen. There are several advantages of AI-enabled kitchens over intelligent kitchens. AI will handle our most repetitive and monotonous work. Also, AI will take care and protect from any accident before it happens, which generally happens due to forgetfulness or carelessness. Design/Methodology/Approach: We installed a CPU inside the home. We installed an action controller in the kitchen that connects all kitchen gadgets. One PTZ camera is installed in such a place that captures the gas oven and the entire kitchen environment. Our camera is the point-to-zoom (PTZ) type, so it can rotate the lens and zoom to capture any incident for better understanding or to detect the perfect image for accurate detection. Our camera is running all the time, which means round the clock. It always captures the image and processes the image by CPU. If any event matches with the event database, it sends the command to the action controller to take the action. If a new event is detected, it will learn from it and save it into the database for future use. Findings/Result: The complete system is the conceptual-based research work. However, every part of the module or section is based on practical research work. So, once the system is deployed in the practical field, it will work without issues. In a typical kitchen, we must always pay attention, like the regulator is on if the milk is left for a long time in the gas oven. So, this kind of tension and anxiety will go for retired. All events will be taken care of by our AI-enabled system. Once the system is installed, it will run autonomously; there is no need to take care of or follow up. Once the system detects some issue, the system will notify the concerned person. Originality/Value/Novelty: Nowadays, intelligent gadgets are taking place in the home. Smart devices, especially in the kitchen, make life easy. Using AI, we can get more benefits and security for the kitchen. We studied several research works. Most of the researchers automated kitchen gadgets. But still, the problem exists. All gadgets should be under centralized control to get better safety and control. Through this research work, we described how to create safety and control in the kitchen environment. This research works to provide more value to the modern, smart kitchen. Type of Paper: Conceptual Research.

К вопросу о генезисном обозрении установления юридического факта по регистрации брака

This work includes several constituent elements of a single whole: a brief evolution of forming the fixation of marriage registration as a fact of established marital relations and its modern understanding by establishing a legal fact in procedural and legal regulation. At certain stages of marriage, the issue of historically necessary and recorded formalization of marriage bonds arose for intending spouses without clarifying the legal consequences in cases of necessity of their discovery. As civil law relations expand, it is often necessary to establish the fact of marital relations and registered marriage in the matters of social and legal guarantees, inheritance, and copyright. At best (if supporting documents are not available), the concerned person should contact the civil registry office that has a reliable record of the marriage registration at the specific time. In undisputed civil law proceedings, the fact of marriage registration can be established even if the primary civil status record or restored record is absent — when the record did not take place (is lost) and there is no confirmation of it. In this regard, the importance of following proper procedures to establish the fact of marriage registration remains unshakable in terms of historical and substantive interest.

Transidentité et dépsychiatrisation : enjeux éthiques. Enquête nationale auprès des psychiatres en formation

ObjectivesThis article focuses on the ethical issues surrounding gender-affirming care for transgender people (i.e. A person whose gender does not correspond to their sex assigned at birth), particularly the respect of the rights of transgender patients to autonomy during psychiatric evaluations. This topic gives leave to a deeper investigation into the principles of non-maleficence when diagnosing gender dysphoria and into the principles of justice when providing essential medical care for transgender people in France. Materials and methodsFirstly, a review of the literature was carried out in order to explore the historicity of sex, its definition and variations, and the concept of gender identity. To establish the latter's relationship to psychiatry, the evolution of gender dysphoria through psychiatric classifications and guidelines was reviewed, as well as the role of the psychiatrist in the process of gender-affirming treatment. A reflection was also carried out concerning the ethical issues of the medical care of trans people, through the autonomy of choice, beneficence and non-maleficence of access to the hormonal-surgical transition, and the societal issues involved in the evolution of the consideration of gender. A study was conducted via a websurvey and a questionnaire was sent to psychiatric residents completing their studies in France. A total of 70 respondents were included. The questionnaire asked residents to give their opinion on transgender people's right to autonomy (and how to respect them) during psychiatric assessments and psychological inputs. ResultsThe answers from the residents indicate that they are mainly in favor of upholding transgender people's right to autonomy, with an emphasis on their capacity and their right to self-determination. Conversely, 15% of the respondents viewed transgender identities as a mental disorder and were more in favor of a medicalized model of treating gender dysphoria. A psychiatric assessment prior to receiving gender-affirming care was still perceived as necessary in order to eliminate differential diagnoses and to evaluate the capacity for informed consent, however, this may be perceived as excessive pathologization for transgender people. On the other hand, this feeling of pathologization is perceived as diminished if this consultation is performed by a psychologist. These answers suggest the necessity of carrying out a comparison with the feelings of the concerned individuals, for a more ethical management of transidentity. ConclusionThe issue of meeting the demands of the transgender population is still being debated. It is legitimate to ask whether we can, under cover of their freedom of choice, let the persons concerned make the decision without having first undergone a medical evaluation, and whether the individual's autonomy must take precedence over potential irreversible negative outcomes. Through this study, it appears that the sampled psychiatry residents sense that those individuals seeking transgender care have the feeling of pathologization that is induced by a consultation with a psychiatrist before starting gender-affirming care. On the other hand, if the consultation is conducted by a psychologist this feeling of pathologization is less a factor. This assumption should obviously be affirmed with the concerned persons.

Pro-tech head protector

Solar-based E-Uniform furnished with better protection to the soldiers who are working in extreme weather. Solar Panels are wont to power up the interior circuitry of the E-uniform. A 12 V DC lead-acid rechargeable battery is employed for storing the energy. We are using a conventional battery charging unit also for giving supply to the circuitry. ATmega16a microcontroller is the heart of the circuit as it controls all the functions. The project is operated in two modes like summer mode and winter mode. By selecting the mode of operation, we are operating the system such that it can drive the body temperature according to heater/cooler. The heater/cooler in turn will help us to provide a cooling or warming effect inside the uniform which helps the soldier to bear any kind of external environment. The metal sensor will detect the metal-like bomb, any other planted weapon in-ground and intimate the soldier with a buzzer indication. The GSM is interfaced with the microcontroller and GPS is additionally interfaced such that the tracking of the whole soldier is observed. And the location is messaged to the particular concerned person /dept. This Uniform will make the soldier work in any kind of environment without any stress or distraction.

Learning from strangers: transferability of current principles for designing inclusive area-based settlements to learning factories in resource-limited settings

What can we learn from the current design principles adopted to build inclusive area-based settlements such as refugee camps? How can we transfer the lesson learnt to useful principles for learning factories in resource-limited settings? Refugee camps are a form of settlement in which internally displaced persons (IDP)s reside and receive centralised protection, humanitarian assistance, and other services from governments and humanitarian actors. These settlements can be planned and developed on land allocated by the Government, or created spontaneously when persons of concern settle on land which has not been designated to accommodate them. This type of settlement often limits rights and freedom, such as the ability to move and work freely and they do not consider any sustainability insights. To overcome these limitations, it is necessary to pursue alternatives based on a separate set of design parameters that include life-cycle analysis. After analysing the current general situations of refugee camps and settlements, firstly, the paper offers a set of life-cycle principles to facilitate the achievement of long-term, sustainable, and inclusive temporary settlements and secondly a reflection on possible principles to transfer and apply to the design of learning factories in resource-limited settings.

”Not a trouble”: A mixed-method study of autism-related language preferences by French-Canadian adults from the autism community

Finding a consensual term for persons diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder has recently been debated in the scientific literature. Considering the stigma associated with using terms deemed offensive, it is paramount to address autism respectfully and consensually. As of now, this study is the first to consult French-Canadian participants beyond autistic people themselves. This mixed-method study aimed to document and understand the preference and offensiveness of terms used to refer to persons living with autism. Participants ( N = 327) were adults who self-identified as part of the autism community (i.e., autistic person, family or friends, professionals, or clinicians). By means of an online survey, they rated and ranked six terms used to designate an autistic person. Participants also explained their ranking. Results show no consensus for the use of any one specific term. A clear dichotomy appears between autistic adults’ and professionals’ preferences in terminology. The latter prioritized terms related to the medical model, whereas autistic persons preferred using identity-related language. Among all respondents, Autistic person was the most preferred and least offensive term. Thus, we suggest asking for the concerned person's preference whenever possible or using terminology preferred by the majority when this cannot be done. Lay abstract Recent studies and editorials by autism researchers suggest distancing ourselves from the medical terms used to name autism. Considering the stigma associated with using terms deemed offensive and the influence culture has on language, it is paramount to address autism respectfully and consensually in a culturally sensitive way. As of now, data on the French-Canadian population has yet to be collected. Participants ( N = 327) who self-identified as part of the autism community (i.e., autistic person, family or friends, professionals, or clinicians) completed an online survey. They rated and ranked six terms used to designate an autistic person. Participants also explained their ranking. Among all respondents, Autistic person was the most preferred and least offensive term by most respondents. An apparent dichotomy appears between autistic adults’ and professionals’ preferences in terminology. The latter prioritized terms related to the medical model, whereas autistic persons preferred using identity-related language. However, considering the French syntax, the latter justified their preference based on identity-first and person-first principles. Because results show no consensus for one term, we suggest asking for the concerned person's preference whenever possible or using terminology preferred by the majority when this can’t be done.

Not a slow burn: the urgent need for a protection mechanism for environmentally displaced persons – The Philippines

This article considers whether we should continue to try to force the experiences of environmentally displaced persons to fit the traditional definition of ‘refugees’; or whether we should instead recognize that certain inherent differences necessitate treating persons displaced by climate as a separate category of persons of concern. An argument is made in favour of the latter, which highlights the urgent need for the development and implementation of a specific protection mechanism to address climate displacement, given the lack of accommodation under the existing international legal framework on refugee protection. Also highlighted is the role of domestic legislation in the protection of environmentally displaced persons with a particular focus on the Philippines. The Philippines is vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, with the displacement of numerous people every year due to the onslaught of typhoons and other disasters. In conclusion, recommendations are made for interim measures and future legislation to address climate displacement.

Процессуальный порядок реализации последующего судебного контроля (по правилам ч. 5 ст. 165 УПК РФ)

Introduction. The article deals with the procedure of producing subsequent judicial control. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of problematic aspects of the legislatively specified list of investigative actions, with regard to which the judicial control is implemented in according to part 5 of article 165 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation (CCP), the participation of concerned persons in the court hearing on considering the legality and reasonability of the investigative action, as well as to the legal norms and provisions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation relating to the implementation of the considered type of judicial control. The relevance of the chosen research subject is determined by theoretical and applied issues related to the lack of an optimal mechanism for implementing subsequent judicial control over making investigative actions, legislative shortcomings and discordance of judicial practice.&#x0D; Research methods. The article is based on both general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, generalisation, system-structural approach) and private scientific methods of research (interpretation of legal norms, legal forecasting, generalisation and analysis of judicial practice).&#x0D; The results of the research are reflected in the development of normative and scientific provisions to normalise practices of justice proceeding in the field of subsequent judicial control over the legality and reasonability of investigative actions.

FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION OF OLDER ADULTS: INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES ON NEW DIRECTIONS

Abstract Financial exploitation of older adults is a topic that has drawn increased public recognition in recent years. Despite advances in research, services, products, and policies working to prevent financial exploitation of older adults and support victims, interdisciplinary perspectives are needed to strengthen interventions. This symposium will bring together scholars and practitioners to address the issue of financial exploitation from a variety of disciplines, all united in their mission to detect and prevent financial exploitation of older adults and to support victims. The first two presentations in the symposium will highlight conceptual understandings of financial exploitation of older adults, including a revisionary model of financial exploitation of older adults that includes emerging cognitive, cultural, and other contextual factors (Presentation 1) and a study of financial vulnerability and mental health as they are associated with financial exploitation, particularly when perpetrated by trusted others (Presentation 2). The remaining presentations will describe research from cross-sector, cross-industry, interventions. Presentation 3 will describe study findings about a helpline for concerned persons of exploitation victims that dually offers services directed to primary victims of financial exploitation. Presentation 4 will highlight a study of case characteristics associated with a new adult protection law designed to protect older and vulnerable adults experiencing exploitation. Presentation 5 will describe a study of financial professionals’ experiences with, and attitudes toward, financial exploitation of aging clients. Findings from all five presentations will point to next steps for research and intervention across multiple disciplines, including social work, law and policy, healthcare, and financial services.

Real‐time Internet of LoRa Things (IoLT)‐based accident detection and prevention system in vehicular networks towards smart city

SummaryVehicle utilization has increased on a broader scale in today's reality. Because of insufficient emergency services, increased motor traffic has resulted in the rise of traffic collisions, and widespread accidents lead to the demise of lives and property. Generally, the consequence death rate happens each year, originating from delays in rescue activities. However, vehicles are embedded with trend technology. Still, the accident count will rise day by day due to delays in transmitting the information to the concerned person or delays in rescue activities. The proposed work offers an effective solution to the aforementioned issue by assisting low‐power and long‐range (LoRa) architecture with edge node ultrasonic sensors for identifying the abnormalities and to provide an efficient transport ambulance from the unexpected mishap spot to the closest hospital where emergency well‐being can be provided with the help of cloud technology. Also, emergency information can be sent to the cloud immediately, and its response is the way of alerting the surroundings and notifying the appropriate hospital with the aid of a GPS‐enabled LoRa‐shield. Further, comparing the proposed technology with other LPWAN (low‐power wide area networks) in terms of coverage, cost, capacity, and energy consumption proves efficient communication in the development of intelligent vehicular networks towards a smart city.

Digital Gaming and Autistic Spectrum Disorder

The use of digital games in the educational process promotes interactivity and de-escalation of tensions, promotes active educational models, and offers new possibilities for communication, collaboration, and learning, giving the possibility of introducing the student with autism in a controlled environment that is predictable and without social stimuli to manage the concerned person’s attention and concentration in an activity. This paper aims to present the findings for the use of educational digital games in the field of special education and specifically in the education of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
