TL;DR: Data is used from Dallas, Texas to examine the extent to which a stay-at-home/shelter-in-place lockdown-style order was associated with an increase in domestic violence and provides some evidence for a short-term spike in the 2 weeks after the lockdown was instituted but a decrease thereafter.
Abstract: COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the lives of persons around the world and social scientists are just beginning to understand its consequences on human behavior. One policy that public health officials put in place to help stop the spread of the virus were stay-at-home/shelter-in-place lockdown-style orders. While designed to protect people from the coronavirus, one potential and unintended consequence of such orders could be an increase in domestic violence - including abuse of partners, elders or children. Stay-at-home orders result in perpetrators and victims being confined in close quarters for long periods of time. In this study, we use data from Dallas, Texas to examine the extent to which a local order was associated with an increase in domestic violence. Our results provide some evidence for a short-term spike in the 2 weeks after the lockdown was instituted but a decrease thereafter. We note that it is difficult to determine just how much the lockdown was the cause of this increase as the domestic violence trend was increasing prior to the order.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined rates of physical and emotional intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and perpetration among young men involved in the justice system and found that emotional and physical forms of IPV are associated with witnessing and experiencing violence during adolescence.
Abstract: Early exposure to violence (ETV) has been repeatedly linked to violence in intimate relationships later in life However, this association has rarely been explored among young men involved in the justice system, a group that is of significant policy concern Methods Drawing from four waves of data collected from 808 young men with histories of serious offending, this study examined rates of physical and emotional intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and perpetration Next, the rates of IPV victimization-perpetration overlap were examined Lastly, the associations between IPV in young adulthood and ETV in early adolescence were explored using standard difference-in-means tests Findings show that victimization and perpetration of emotional IPV are common experiences among the men Seventy-three percent of the sample report emotional IPV victimization and 70% report emotional IPV perpetration Physical IPV is less common than emotional IPV with 44% of young men reporting being victims of physical IPV and 29% reporting perpetration of physical IPV Strong linkages were observed between IPV victimization and IPV perpetration Lastly, associations exist between exposure to violence as a witness or a victim and both emotional and physical IPV victimization and perpetration IPV involvement as a victim and/or perpetrator is more common than not among young men involved in the justice system Both emotional and physical forms of IPV are associated with witnessing and experiencing violence during adolescence Intervention during adolescence is critical to avoid IPV during young adulthood

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a meta-regression analysis to test the effect of year of study in the context of both methodological variables that determined variability in ADHD prevalence (diagnostic criteria, impairment criterion and source of information), and the geographical location of studies.
Abstract: BACKGROUND Previous studies have identified significant variability in attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) prevalence estimates worldwide, largely explained by methodological procedures. However, increasing rates of ADHD diagnosis and treatment throughout the past few decades have fuelled concerns about whether the true prevalence of the disorder has increased over time. METHODS We updated the two most comprehensive systematic reviews on ADHD prevalence available in the literature. Meta-regression analyses were conducted to test the effect of year of study in the context of both methodological variables that determined variability in ADHD prevalence (diagnostic criteria, impairment criterion and source of information), and the geographical location of studies. RESULTS We identified 154 original studies and included 135 in the multivariate analysis. Methodological procedures investigated were significantly associated with heterogeneity of studies. Geographical location and year of study were not associated with variability in ADHD prevalence estimates. CONCLUSIONS Confirming previous findings, variability in ADHD prevalence estimates is mostly explained by methodological characteristics of the studies. In the past three decades, there has been no evidence to suggest an increase in the number of children in the community who meet criteria for ADHD when standardized diagnostic procedures are followed.

TL;DR: In this paper, two abstract animated films by Robert Breer are examined: 69 (1968 5 minutes) and Fuji (1974 10 minutes) using Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological perspective, though these films are not representational or photographic in the traditional sense, though they are still able to talk to us about real experiences because the lived perspective, that which we actually perceive, is not a geometric or photographic one.
Abstract: American animator Robert Breer has been credited in introducing the first visual bomb to cinema in his loop film Image by Images I (1954), Two abstract animated films by Robert Breer are examined: 69 (1968 5 minutes) and Fuji (1974 10 minutes). Using Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological perspective, though these films are not representational or photographic in the traditional sense it is argued that they are still able to talk to us about real experiences because ‘the lived perspective, that which we actually perceive, is not a geometric or photographic one.’(Merleau-Ponty, 1964b: 14) 69 provides a metaphor for a system that collapses and Fuji as an articulation of that embodied seeing required for train travel. It is argued that Breer’s work in its explorations of style ahead of content is research into an act of viewing that offers a contemporary simulation of the impact of a traumatic experience on the body. Just as one cannot grab each object in the landscape at the speed of train travel nor can one grab or understand each frame that is presented to the retina of a Robert Breer film. What is required to attain “stillness” is a more dissociated way of looking that allows the images to wash over you. Such a “stillness” may be more about suppression than contemplation and could involve a process of metamorphosis.
