The focus of this article is a school-based respectful relationships (RRs) pilot project involving grade 8 and 9 students. The project sought to develop a primary prevention approach to gender-based violence (GBV) in Australia. Of particular concern is the curriculum delivery component of a whole school approach that was piloted over a 10-week period in four High Schools in Melbourne, Victoria ...

background : to analyze serologic markers of hepatitis g virus (gbv-c) infection in iranian blood donors and two major groups of multitransfused patients, hemophiliacs and thalassemics. methods :nine hundred and five serum samples collected from the volunteer blood donors and two patient groups under the study were tested for the presence of antibodies to the gbv-c antigen (anti e2 ) by an elis...

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global social problem that has received considerable attention from policymakers and researchers. However, when speaking of GVB, significant paid to women who are seen as being at the receiving end violence. Although statistics do support notion mostly exposed GBV, little been GBV against men often not, it man aggressor woman painted victim. This article investi...

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is one of the most significant social issues affecting world, and just as in many other countries, GBV pervasive South Africa, where cultural norms gender-based customs traditions serve to condone reinforce abusive practices. According Article 13 Istanbul Convention, a preventive intervention requires heightened awareness first step changing attitudes behaviour that ...

Even before the earthquake that devastated Haiti in January 2010, gender based violence (GBV) was rife throughout the country. Twenty-six percent of all women and girls over the age of 15 experienced GBV (Government of Haiti, 2006). In addition to traditional norms that condoned men's right to control and beat their female partners, and the perception of violence as an acceptable method of conf...

Genomic heterogeneity and quasispecies composition of GB virus C (GBV-C) within plasma and lymphocyte subsets in a naturally infected blood donor were investigated. For this purpose, fragments from the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) and the E2 gene recovered from plasma, B and T lymphocytes, were cloned and sequenced. A total of 63 clones was analysed: 95.2 % of them (n=60) - obtained from pla...

This paper considers the tensions between individual and collective experiences, responses framings in gender-based violence (GBV). I explore three concepts that aid understanding of GBV – isolating, trauma commoning question their utility process survival. The arguments are evidenced with survivors’ testimony from a participatory action research project on experiences GBV. First, isolating sur...

Analysis of 33 GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) full or nearly full genome sequences revealed several putative inter- and intrasubtype recombinants. The breakpoints of the recombinant regions were mapped using a maximum-likelihood method, and the statistical significance for each region was tested using Monte Carlo simulation. The results were highly significant and provided evidence fo...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of unknown origin that affects the central nervous system of an estimated 400,000 Americans. GBV-C or hepatitis G is a flavivirus that is found in the serum of 1-2% of blood donors. It was originally associated with hepatitis, but is now believed to be a relatively non-pathogenic lymphotropic virus. Fifty frozen specimens from the brains of dec...
