Were Adolescent Sexual Offenders Children with Sexual Behavior Problems?

This article compares responses of three groups of incarcerated adolescents who admitted to sexual offending in an anonymous survey project on measures of trauma, sexual offending, the relationship between trauma and perpetration, and adjudication status. The first group admitted to sexual offending before the age of 12 only ( n = 48), the second after the age of 12 only ( n = 130), and the third before and after the age of 12 ( n = 65). More than 46% of the sexually aggressive adolescents began their deviant behaviors before the age of 12. Level and complexity of perpetration acts were more severe for the continuous offenders than for the other groups. Victimization and perpetration were significantly correlated for all three groups. This study supports a social learning hypothesis for the development of sexual offending by adolescents. Implications for research and clinical practice are drawn.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/45557/1/11194_2004_Article_220864.pd

Evaluation of Using of (Toxicom) onBlood Pictures and body weight of Broilers Fed on Mycotoxin Contaminated Ration and Vaccinated Against Gumboro

The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible protective effect of preparation which synthesized in Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine adsorbent ((Toxicom)) 5g\kg diet against the toxic effects of mixed mycotoxins in growing broiler chickens .Total 75 chicks, one week age, were divided into 5 treated groups, 15 birds for each. The first group (G1) fed a contaminated ration with mycotoxin and supplemented with (Toxicom) 5g/kg of diet and vaccinated with Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) vaccine at 15 and 22 days of age. The second group (G2) was fed a ration contaminated with mycotoxin and vaccinated with IBD vaccine at 15 and 22 days of age and not supplemented with (Toxicom). The third group (G3) was fed an intact broiler ration and vaccinated with IBD vaccine at 15 and 22 days of age. The fourth group (G4) was only fed a contaminated ration with mycotoxins and not vaccinated. The fifth group (G5) was fed intact broiler ration and not vaccinated as a control group. The diet was naturally contaminated with many mycotoxins and analyzed by ELISA and the level of mycotoxins were as follows : Aflatoxin B1 0.001 mg/kg, Dezoxivalenol  1.24 mg/kg, Zearalenon 0.068 mg/kg, Ochratoxin 0.005 mg/kg, T2 toxin 0.09 mg/kg, Fuminisen B1 0.2 mg/kg. It was concluded that this preparation which synthesized in Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine is protect chicken blood parameters in comparison with the other groups

The second group (G2) was fed a ration contaminated with mycotoxin and vaccinated with gumboro vaccine at 15 and 22 days of age and not supplemented with toxicom. The third group (G3) was fed intact broiler ration and vaccinated with gumboro vaccine at 15 and 22 days of age. The fourth group (G4) was only fed a contaminated ration with mycotoxins. The fifth group (G5) was fed intact broiler ration  as a control group. The diet was naturally contaminated with many mycotoxins and analyzed by ELISA and the level of mycotoxins were as follows : Aflatoxin B1 0.001 mg/kg, Dezoxivalenol 1.24 mg/kg, Zearalenon 0.068 mg/kg, Ochratoxin 0.005 mg/kg, T2 toxin 0.09 mg/kg, Fuminisen B1 0.2 mg/kg. The antibody titers for Infectious Bursal Disease vaccine (IBDv) was conducted by ELISA. It was concluded that this preparation which synthesized in Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine is protect chickens body weight and decrease the effect of mycotoxins in comparison with the other groups and recommended for using as adsorbent in Republic of Belarus
