Investigating public awareness, prevailing attitudes and perceptions towards domestic
violence and abuse in the UK: a qualitative study
Background
Understanding the general public’s view about Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) is vital, as
it would help with the development of targeted interventions and effective public policies to
tackle this rising problem in society.
Aim
Our interview-based study investigated the public awareness, attitudes and perceptions
towards DVA, and explored mechanisms to tackle DVA in the community setting in the UK.
Method
We conducted semi-structured interviews with 29 community-dwelling adults who responded
to study invitations and adverts on social media. We used a topic guide to ensure consistency
across the interviews, which were audio recorded, transcribed and analysed thematically to
detect emergent themes.
Results
All responders were aware of the concept of abuse. Thirty-eight percent declared either
having experienced DVA directly or that they knew someone close to being abused. More than
half of the responders were not aware of existing DVA supportive services in the UK.
Overarching themes generated from the contextual analysis included contributing factors for
DVA, challenges and barriers facing victims and proposals for future interventions.
Conclusion
Community-dwelling adults acknowledge the impacts of abuse, but many fail to recognise
specific instances or events in their daily lives contributing to DVA. Raising public awareness,
particularly in children through the school curriculum, highlighting existing support services
and introducing the routine use of short screening tools for DVA in health and social care
settings can increase awareness, early identification and signpost to effective interventions.
Sustained, multi-level community-facing interventions are recommended to reduce the stigma
and fears associated with DVA.

Constructivist Foundations, 2022
Context • Strongly influenced by Cartesian dualist philosophy, contemporary linguistic orthodoxy is unable to explain the nature and function of language in the human praxis of living. Structuralists and cognitivists alike continue to dehumanize language, viewing it as something external to body and mind, thereby impeding our understanding of life and world. > Problem • Inability to change the orthodox perspective on language and failure to come to grips with the biology of language and cognition tells on the overall efficacy of linguistics, making it a prescience that negatively affects institutionalized social practices, especially education. > Method • Building on Humberto Maturana's biology of cognition as a constructivist epistemology, I identify the epistemological errors of linguistics and show how a systems-theory approach helps us to arrive at a holistic view of language as our existential domain in which we arise as observers. > Results • Consistent application of the tenets of the biology of cognition in theorizing language helps us to understand anew or reconceptualize many problems that have been stumbling blocks in linguistics, providing simple and coherent explanations of various linguistic phenomena as distinctions made in language by the observer. > Implications • Instead of focusing on language as a system of abstract symbols used as a "tool" to be studied "in itself and for itself," language scientists should make a concerted effort to transform the humanities into a unified science of humanness.

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies diagnosed during pregnancy, with an incidence of 1:3000 pregnancies. Its rising incidence is related to the trend to postpone childbearing during the last 30 years. Breast cancer during pregnancy should not be managed differently from the nonpregnant setting. Chemotherapy is reported to be safe after the first trimester, whereas trastuzumab and tamoxifen are contraindicated regardless of the trimester. Case description: A patient diagnosed with breast cancer recurrence during pregnancy was exposed to both tamoxifen and trastuzumab during the first two trimesters of pregnancy. In addition, docetaxel was administered during the second and third trimesters, without subsequent fetal malformations or obstetric complications. Conclusions: When conception occurs inadvertently during assumption of tamoxifen or anti-HER2 agents, their effects on the fetus and on the course of pregnancy are not completely understood.

Wire-driven continuum manipulators are gaining more attention due to their flexibility and dexterity features. In comparison with traditional manipulators, the continuum structure is compliant and safe for human tissue and is able to easily adapt to the unstructured environment. Despite its advantages, wire-driven mechanisms have a serious problem with tension. While pushing and pulling, the wire loses tension, which leads to an ineffective way of driving the pulleys. Therefore, in this research, we propose a novel discrete continuum robot arm with a passive pre-tension mechanism that avoids the wire tension problem. Moreover, this paper will describe the backbone design of the discrete continuum arm and pre-tension mechanism structure, as well as forward and inverse kinematics and kinetic solutions, with simulation results.

The essay analyses Rorty's nominalist vision of human culture, coined with a sense for historicity in his book Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity. The analysis focuses on the role of arts in Rorty's vision with regard to his concepts of contingency in language and personal identity and his thoughts on metaphysics, irony and desire for self-improvement and for societies based on more freedom and justice. The essay attempts to transport Rorty's thoughts from the realm of philosophy into the realm of literary history and theory: When thinking about literature, we should also distinguish metaphysics and irony, standard and non-standard discourses. After all, most of the categories taken for granted by majority of literary scholars can also be approached from the point of their contingency and thus can be subjected to their re-definitions.
