Since early 2020, global stakeholders have highlighted the significant gendered consequences of COVID-19 pandemic, including increases in risk gender-based violence (GBV). Researchers sought to inform pandemic response through a diverse set methodologies, efforts modelling anticipated GBV. For example, April highly cited effort by United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and partners projected he...

BACKGROUND GB virus C (GBV-C) or hepatitis G virus (HGV) is a newly discovered and enveloped RNA positive-stranded flavivirus-like particle, which has not yet been proven to have major negative effects on liver. OBJECTIVES Increasing the risk of blood-borne infections in hemodialysis patients is a main health care concern in different countries. Therefore, it is important to estimate the prev...

BACKGROUND Living in conditions of chronic adversity renders many women more vulnerable to experiencing gender-based violence (GBV). In addition to GBV's physical and social consequences, the psychological effects can be pervasive. Access to evidence-based psychological interventions that seek to support the mental health of women affected by such adversity is rare in low- and middle-income cou...

Researching sensitive topics often carries immediate effects on researchers, yet discussions about the emotional and psychological impacts of conducting this type research remain rare. In recent years, debates begun to emerge toll that qualitative field-based violence in general, gender-based (GBV) particular, can have those research. Most existing support self-care strategies response these ef...

Since 2015, in Canada, political discourse on “honour”-based violence has shifted away from highly problematic understandings of “culture” as the cause among racialized, Muslim, and immigrant communities. Instead, talk culture dropped out equation altogether favour more structural definitions gender-based (GBV). In this article, we ask what gets lost when is not taken into account talking about...

Abstract Gender-based violence (GBV) is a complex social and public health problem, which represents human rights violation. Globally, GBV tends to occur in intimate partner relationships. Latin American countries report high rates of this violence. Despite their historical differences, Ecuador Argentina are among that aim dismantle patriarchy. Developing psychoeducation materials one way commu...

The pervasiveness of gender-based violence (GBV) against women and children constitutes the most severe expression discrimination dehumanisation in South Africa. Even before coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic came, domestic was already one greatest human rights violations. Women for centuries suffered different forms violation continue to struggle subtle 21st century. This article inv...

GB virus type C (GBV-C) is a human flavivirus that may cause persistent infection, although most infected individuals clear viremia and develop antibodies to the envelope glycoprotein E2. To study GBV-C E2 antigenicity and cell binding, murine anti-E2 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were evaluated to topologically map immunogenic sites on GBV-C E2 and for the ability to detect or block recombinant...

The study focuses on the impact of different sets of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from the available data set on prediction of genomewide breeding values (GBVs) of animals. Correlations between breeding values estimated as additive polygenic effects (EBVs) and GBVs as well as correlations between true breeding values (TBVs) and GBVs are used as major criteria for the comparis...

OBJECTIVE Assessment of gender-based violence (GBV) among internally displaced persons (IDPs) is at best difficult. In complex humanitarian disasters, GBV inquiry can sometimes be dangerous and may lead to underestimation of the true prevalence. We developed a method of identifying women who have greater odds of having been exposed to postdisaster GBV (PDGBV) using mental health indicators. M...
