TL;DR: The attitudes held by patients and staff in a forensic mental health service with the Management of Aggression and Violence Attitudes Scale were compared and the factor validity of the tool was examined by conducting a prospective comparative questionnaire survey.
Abstract: Nurses' attitudes about the causes and management of aggression affects their choice of intervention. We aimed to compare the attitudes held by patients and staff in a forensic mental health service with the Management of Aggression and Violence Attitudes Scale, and examine the factor validity of the tool in this setting by conducting a prospective comparative questionnaire survey. Staff (n = 72) and patient (n = 98) attitudes differed to a limited extent. Confirmatory factor analysis refuted the previously reported structure of the tool. Exploratory factor analysis suggested three underlying factors related to modifiability of aggression, hands on management, and hands off management. Patients were more optimistic than nurses about the modifiability of aggressive behaviour. Male patients and those with diagnoses other than personality disorder were significantly more likely to agree about modifiability than controls. Forensic inpatients recognize the need for the use of a range of techniques to prevent and manage aggression and violence, but selected groups are most likely to believe that aggression is modifiable. Prevention and management of aggression training should emphasize the modifiability of aggressive behaviour. The development of measures of modifiability and management style would assist in the evaluation of training and would offer new avenues for research.

TL;DR: Developing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases will require new scientific approaches that take into account the detrimental effects of altered protein and RNA homeostasis on brain cells, the vulnerabilities of various organelles in certain diseases and aging neurons, and the complex multicellular interactions of the nervous system.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model predicts land abandonment which increases with proximity to insecurity, and welfare losses to rural land owners, and predicts that food aid can buffer the land-use change impacts generated by war.
Abstract: This article examines spatial changes in production in the presence of civil conflict. A simple model predicts land abandonment which increases with proximity to insecurity, and welfare losses to rural land owners. The model also predicts that food aid can buffer the land-use change impacts generated by war. Spatial data on land use, violent events, displaced populations and aid from 2001-2007 corroborate these predictions in Darfur, Sudan. The results suggest large disruptions in short-term production, with abandonment of agriculture far from the cities, and intensification of land use on their periphery. Language: en
