UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Adolescent girls are an overlooked group within conflict-affected populations and their sexual health needs are often neglected. Girls are disproportionately at risk of HIV and other STIs in times of conflict, however the lack of recognition of their unique sexual health needs has resulted in a dearth of distinctive HIV protection and prevention responses. Departing fro...

In visual conflict tasks (e.g., Stroop or flanker), response times (RTs) are generally longer on incongruent trials relative to congruent ones. Two event-related-potential (ERP) components classically associated with the processing of stimulus conflict are the fronto-central, incongruency-related negativity (Ninc) and the posterior late-positive complex (LPC), which are derived from the ERP dif...

BACKGROUND Although the pleiotropic effects of statins are postulated to be renoprotective, clinical studies have demonstrated conflicting results. We undertook a meta-analysis of published trials to evaluate the impact of statin therapy on the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients undergoing coronary angiography. METHODS We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE databases through ...

predicts that unresolvable sexual arms races may be infrequent, and that it is more usual for one sex or the other to gain an evolutionary advantage, halting antagonistic co-evolution, even though the underlying conflict may not be resolved, or that a balance in 'arms levels' results. Exceptions may be common at the molecular level — for example, involving seminal proteins and receptors — where...

Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen and the Ukranian writer LesiaUkrainka have some common themes in their dramas, to name a few – emphasis is placed on the conflict between the individual and society as well as the place of the artist in society. This paper makes an attempt to compare and contrast the traits found in their heroines in a feminist perspective.

Abstract In the coming decades, communities may become exposed to local food self-insufficiency due climate change, land degradation and scarcity. Rapid population growth exacerbate this. To support mitigating policies, answers are needed following two research questions: (i) Where what extent will environment-related occur or increase over period from 2015 2050 (ii) How respond increased self-...

ownership and freedom are two essential rights and of value to human beings. by contrast to preliminary reviews, the link between these two values is very solid, and they have a reciprocal relation.not only can they serve as the foundation of each other, but also in case of departing this equilibrium, each can have a negative effect on the other. the relationship between the two is the subject ...
