Who done it, actually? Dissociative identity disorder for the criminologist

Through the analysis of clinical examples, the paper explores how decisions are made by a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), the notions of choice and ‘competent reasoning’, and the practical and ethical ways for interviewing a person with DID. Abstract Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is examined in this paper from the perspective of its relevance to the criminologist. As this psychiatric condition is linked to severe and prolonged childhood abuse, accounts of DID patients inevitably involve reports of serious crimes, in which the person was the victim, perpetrator or witness. These reports can thus contain crucial information for criminal investigations by the police or for court proceedings. However, due to the person’s dissociation, such reports are often very confusing, hard to follow, hard to believe and difficult to obtain. They also frequently state that the person had ‘no choice’, a thorny notion for the criminologist (as well as for the clinician). Through the analysis of clinical examples, the paper explores how decisions are made by a person with DID, the notions of choice and ‘competent reasoning’, and the practical and ethical ways for interviewing a person with DID

Inconsistency in the Adoption of IFRS by Nigerian Microfinance Banks

The main objective of any financial reporting is affirmatively to communicate with the users, the true financial position of an enterprise in a summarized and standard form in order to facilitate understanding for economic and related decisions making process. In Nigeria, Statement of Accounting Standard (SAS) has been the official standard in practice before it is being replaced with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS). From all respects, the SAS has similar objectives like the IFRS only that it operates within Nigeria. This study focuses on the Nigerian Microfinance Banks (MFBs), and the main problem is to address is whether it will be mandatory for these MFBs to adopt this new standard in preparing financial statements despite the high quality SAS, characteristics and uniqueness of these banks? The objective is to provide insights for suggested solution to this question through review of related literature. From the literatures’ findings, it can be concluded that due to the peculiarities of these banks and some challenges facing these banks, adoption of IFRS will not be feasible. This study recommends that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) should include in its IFRS compliance financial reporting a special report to accommodate financial and operational activities of the MFBs and that if adoption of IFRS becomes a must for these MFBs, the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN) and the apex body should fully sponsor the conversion costs including the continuous training until the banks can independently apply the standard.

Can We Predict and Manipulate Memory Intrusions in a Laboratory Setting?

Memory intrusions, a type of involuntary memory, are experienced by people on a daily basis yet are an under-researched phenomenon in psychology. This study examined how to better describe, manipulate, and predict memory intrusions. Participants (n=47) were tested using the stressful film paradigm to elicit memory intrusions, which were recorded over the following week. Three individual difference measures, working memory, physiological arousal, and anxiety sensitivity, were utilized for comparative analysis. The study was unable to manipulate memory intrusions with visuospatial or eye movement task conditions. Memory intrusion incidence was found to be correlated with anxiety sensitivity cognitive concerns and peaks in heart rate while no correlation with working memory was found. These results add to the current knowledge about memory intrusions phenomenology and correlates. Results also emphasize the need for future research on manipulating memory intrusions and curvilinear relationships between memory intrusion occurrence and both anxiety sensitivity and physiological arousal

Effects of electromagnetic radiations on the male reproductive system

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitting from the natural environment, as well as from the use of industrial and everyday appliances, constantly influences the body of the animal. It is expected that the interactions between electromagnetic radiation and the living organism would depend on the amount and parameters of the transmitted energy and type of tissue exposed. Electromagnetic waves exert an influence on the male reproductive system causing spermatozoa to have decreased motility, morphometric abnormalities, increased peroxidation due to oxidative stress, histological aberrations in the testes and in some cases atrophy of the testicular tissue. This review presents from literature some of effects of electromagnetic radiations on the male reproductive system.Keywords: Electromagnetic Radiations, Male Reproductive System, Animals, Human
