Can clinician’s risk assessments distinguish those who disclose suicidal ideation from those who attempt suicide
Participants were 85 individuals who made suicide attempts within two years of their Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) assessment, identified using record linkage. Two comparison groups, non-suicidal controls ( n = 1416) and (ideators, n = 743) were compared on variables extracted from the standardized IAPT risk assessment interview. Disclosure of a historical suicide attempt or non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) distinguished those…
Resolving the Paradox of Phenomenology through Kant's Aesthetics
Commentators have claimed that the philosophies of Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze converge upon a spatial field of sensation which is prior to representation. This essay will contest these readings by showing that, for Deleuze, the pre-representational spatial field of intensity is fundamentally split from thought. This “gap” between sensation and thought is, for Deleuze, fundamentally temporal, in that thought is continually open and passive to being…
Burden and characteristics of HIV infection among female sex workers in Kampala, Uganda – a respondent-driven sampling survey
One in three FSW in Kampala is HIV-infected, suggesting a severe HIV epidemic in this population. Intensified interventions are warranted to increase condom use, HIV testing, STI screening, as well as antiretroviral treatment and pre-exposure prophylaxis along with measures to overcome gender-based violence
Love, Language and the Dramatization of Ethical Worlds in Deleuze
Dramatization has been conceived by some Deleuze scholars as ‘dramatizing’ the mode of existence of a subject. This paper argues, on the contrary, dramatization involves the very creation of a viewpoint on the world. The ethical significance of dramatization is not the ability to ‘evaluate’ certain subjective modes of existence, but to produce ways of unfolding the world in which we do not ‘imprison’ others and in which multiple perspectives are …
Against 'vital materialism
Gilles Deleuze's concept of life is valorized in the humanities today for its ability to grant agency or activity to non-human entities. This essay argues that, in fact, Deleuze sees the concept of life as a kind of passive creation which escapes the traces of subjectivity remaining in agency
Risk factors for unplanned sex among university students in Kampala, Uganda
There is inadequate in-depth information on the risk factors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among university students in Uganda, and more so of those that are unrelated to alcohol and drug use. ‘Unplanned sex’ is defined here as sexual intercourse that a person or individual decides out of free will as undesired. We conducted cross-sectional in-depth qualitative study with 23 students (52% female…
The demographic profile of sero-discordant couples enrolled in clinical research in Rwanda and Zambia
This paper examines the demographic profile of two cohorts of sero-discordant couples enrolled in research activities at two clinical research sites in Kigali, Rwanda and Lusaka, Zambia and compares their background characteristics by country, gender and sero-status. Differences between the two cohorts represent economic and cultural differences between the two countries. Recruitment procedures appear to be successful in reaching the intended aud…
The self as an internal dialogue
The Pig Cycle
ONE of the most clearly defined and closely studied phenomena in the movement of agricultural prices in Great Britain has been the recurring cycle in the prices and numbers of pigs. This cycle had seemed to be adequately explained by the cobweb theorem. The cycle has generally been attributed in most of the important pig-producing countries to the time which producers take to expand or contract production when faced by a particularly favourable o…
