The impacts of working with victims of sexual violence: a rapid evidence assessment
Aim: Supporting clients who have experienced trauma can lead to trauma symptoms in those working with them; workers in the sexual violence field are at heightened risks of these. This article collated and critically appraised papers, published from 2017 onward, in the area of people assisting victims of sexual violence. It explores the impacts and effects the work has on them, their coping and self-care mechanisms, and organizational support offered to them.
Design: A question-based rapid evidence assessment with a triangulated weight of evidence approach was used. Academic and nonacademic databases were searched. Twenty-five papers were included for analysis based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Results: Most studies were of medium to high methodological quality. Negative impacts included trauma symptoms, disrupted social relationships, behavioral changes, and emotional and psychological distress. Ability to manage negative impacts was influenced by overall organizational support, availability of training, supervision and guidance, workloads and caseload characteristics, individual characteristics, and their coping and self-care mechanisms. Positive impacts included empowering feelings, improved relationships, compassion satisfaction, and posttraumatic growth.
Conclusions: Impacts are significant. Support at work and in personal life increases staff’s ability to cope and find meaning in their role. Implications for research and practice are discussed

Fiscal Tribology
The paper examines the weaknesses in the models which currently inform research which uses HMRC microdata, in particular the corporation tax and income tax self-assessment datasets. It attributes much of the problem to failures of communication between disciplines; an issue which tribology identified and addressed in the 1960s. The paper describes the existing use of tribological phenomena as metaphors in both the economics and US legal literatures and proposes that these should be extended to provide a common language across tax research specialisms. It also identifies potential lessons from the ways in which tribology established itself as a unified disciplin

A scaling law for the recirculation zone length behind a bluff body in reacting flows
The recirculation zone length behind a bluff body is influenced by the turbulence intensity at the base of the body in isothermal flows and also the heat release and its interaction with turbulence in reacting flows. This relationship is observed to be nonlinear and is controlled by the balance of forces acting on the recirculation zone, which arise from the pressure and turbulence fields. The pressure force is directly influenced by the volumetric expansion resulting from the heat release, whereas the change in the turbulent shear force depends on the nonlinear interaction between turbulence and combustion. This behaviour is elucidated through a control volume analysis. A scaling relation for the recirculation zone length is deduced to relate the turbulence intensity and the amount of heat release. This relation is verified using the large eddy simulation data from 20 computations of isothermal flows and premixed flames that are stabilised behind the bluff body. The application of this scaling to flames in an open environment and behind a backward facing step is also explored. The observations and results are explained on a physical basis.EPSRC DTP studentship (RG80792
Charge density of a positively charged vector boson may be negative
The charge density of vector particles, for example W, may change sign. The
effect manifests itself even for a free propagation; when the energy of the
W-boson is higher than sqrt{2}m and the standing-wave is considered the charge
density oscillates in space. The charge density of W also changes sign in close
vicinity of a Coulomb center. The dependence of this effect on the g-factor for
an arbitrary vector boson, for example rho-meson, is discussed. An origin of
this surprising effect is traced to the electric quadrupole moment and
spin-orbit interaction of vector particles. Their contributions to the current
have a polarization nature. The charge density of this current, rho = -\nabla
\cdot P, where P is an effective polarization vector that depends on the
quadrupole moment and spin-orbit interaction, oscillates in space, producing
zero contribution to the total charge.Comment: 4 pages, revte
