AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power: Changing through movement, leadership, and Internet capabilities

The examination of AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) past and present shows a vivid and often extreme organization, branching from Gay Men\u27s Health Crisis (GMHC). Both groups were formed by Larry Kramer, who has played a large role in the gay liberation movement in the United States. This study provides a map of the decline of ACT UP with regards to the decline in public fear of AIDS, the resulting decline in public interest, and the ineffective leadership strategies of Larry Kramer. In addition, this study offers a hypothesis for better exposure; a possible symbiotic effect between the Internet (passive) and humanistic (active) devices. In mapping ACT UP\u27s use and misuse of leadership and communication, this study will provide a clear view of the path ACT UP has taken, in addition to posing a better way of promoting information to current audiences

Judge Blythin overruled Sam Sheppard\u27s motion for a new trial filed 12/23/54 and supplemental motion filed 12/24/54.

The transcript of the hearing on these motions can be found at Volume 12 of the 1954 Trial Transcript, beginning at page 7033

Ethyl 1-sec-butyl-2-(2-hydroxy­phen­yl)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxyl­ate 0.25-hydrate

In the title compound, C20H22N2O3·0.25H2O, the water mol­ecule (occupancy 0.25) is disordered across a crystallographic inversion center. The dihedral angle between the hydroxy­phenyl ring and the benzimidazole ring system is 59.31 (9)°. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are connected by inter­molecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further stabilized by a weak C—H⋯π inter­action involving the imidazole ring

An examination of the relationship between shame, guilt and self-harm: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Self-harm is a major public health concern associated with suicide risk and significant psychological distress. Theories suggest that aversive emotional states are an important process that drives self-harm. Shame and guilt may , in particular, be important emotions in self-harm. This review therefore sought to provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between shame, guilt, and self-harm. A systematic search of electronic databases (PsycINFO; Medline; CINAHL Plus; Web of Science and ProQuest) was undertaken to identify studies measuring shame, guilt and self-harm (including suicidal and non-suicidal behaviour). Meta-analysis was undertaken where papers focused on the same subtype of shame or guilt and shared a common outcome. Thirty studies were identified for inclusion. Most forms of shame were associated with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), but research was sparse concerning suicidal behaviour. Fewer studies examined guilt and findings were more varied. Methodological issues included a paucity of longitudinal designs and lack of justification for sample sizes. Results of this review support the link between shame and self-harm, particularly NSSI. The direction of this relationship is yet to be established. Clinically, consideration should be given to the role of shame amongst individuals who present with NSSI. This review was pre-registered on PROSPERO (CRD42017056165)
