Alkohol jako czynnik kryminogenny i wiktymogenny w przestępstwach zabójstwa na przykładzie spraw rozpoznawanych przez Sąd Okręgowy w Krośnie

Author(s): Elżbieta Jabłońska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2016

Alcohol abuse causes many negative effects. These often include the loosening of social and professional ties. Alcohol abuse is considered to be one of the risk factors which contributes to criminal actions. By influencing behavioural problems, it potentiates aggression, undermines self-control and contributes to organic changes which result in personality disorders. The study advances a hypothesis that the pathologies which occur in a particular family, especially alcohol abuse, can significantly influence the formation of the personality of a future murderer. These studies have been based on the psychological and psychiatric opinions which are among the records of the District Court in Krosno in cases involving offences under Article 148 and Article 13 § 1 in relation to Article 148 of the Polish Criminal Code (1999–2014). As a result of the study carried out, the hypothesis that most of the murderers belonged to the families which were affected by alcohol abuse has been confirmed. Furthermore, it has been also found that those who abuse alcohol are more prone to become murderers, or victims of murders.

Author(s): Jakob W. Eriksen,Anne Fiskaali,Robert Zachariae,Kaare B. Wellnitz,Eva Oernboel,Anna W. Stenbro,Thomas Marcussen,Marie W. Petersen / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2023

Increasingly, gambling features migrate into non-gambling platforms (e.g., online gaming) making gambling exposure and problems more likely. Therefore, exploring how to best treat gambling disorder (GD) remains important. Our aim was to review systematically and quantitatively synthesize the available evidence on psychological intervention for GD. Methods: Records were identified through searches for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating psychological intervention for GD via six academic databases without date restrictions until February 3, 2023. Study quality was assessed with the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB2). Primary outcomes were GD symptom severity and remission of GD, summarized as Hedges’ g and odds ratios, respectively. The study was preregistered in PROSPERO (#CRD42021284550). Results: Of 5,541 records, 29 RCTs (3,083 participants analyzed) were included for meta-analysis of the primary outcomes. The efficacy of psychological intervention across modality, format and mode of delivery corresponded to a medium effect on gambling severity (g 5 0.71) and a small effect on remission (OR 5 0.47). Generally, risk of bias was high, particularly amongst early face-to-face interventions studies. Discussion and conclusions: The results indicate that psychological intervention is efficacious in treating GD, with face-to-face delivered intervention producing the largest effects and with strongest evidence for cognitive behavioral therapy. Much remains to be known about the long-term effects, and investigating a broader range of treatment modalities and digital interventions is a priority if we are to improve clinical practice for this heterogeneous patient group.

Abnormal frontostriatal connectivity and serotonin function in gambling disorder: A preliminary exploratory study

Author(s): Albert Bellmunt-Gil,Joonas Majuri,Evelina Arponen,Valtteri Kaasinen,Juho Joutsa / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2023

The neurobiological mechanisms of gambling disorder are not yet fully characterized, limiting the development of treatments. Defects in frontostriatal connections have been shown to play a major role in substance use disorders, but data on behavioral addictions, such as gambling disorder, are scarce. The aim of this study was to 1) investigate whether gambling disorder is associated with abnormal frontostriatal connectivity and 2) characterize the key neurotransmitter systems underlying the connectivity abnormalities. Methods: Fifteen individuals with gambling disorder and 17 matched healthy controls were studied with resting-state functional connectivity MRI and three brain positron emission tomography scans, investigating dopamine (18F-FDOPA), opioid (11C-carfentanil) and serotonin (11C-MADAM) function. Frontostriatal connectivity was investigated using striatal seed-to-voxel connectivity and compared between the groups. Neurotransmitter systems underlying the identified connectivity differences were investigated using region-of-interest and voxelwise approaches. Results: Individuals with gambling disorder showed loss of functional connectivity between the right nucleus accumbens (NAcc) and a region in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) (PFWE

Addiction substitution and concurrent recovery in gambling disorder: Who substitutes and why?

Author(s): Hyoun S. Kim,Daniel S. McGrath,David C. Hodgins / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2023

When individuals recover from gambling disorder, their involvement in other potentially addictive substances and behaviors may also subsequently increase (substitution) or decrease (concurrent recovery). The objectives of this study were to identify and compare recovery processes associated with substitution and concurrent recovery in gambling disorder. Methods: A mixed-method study was conducted with 185 people who were recovered from gambling disorder. Semi-structured interviews were used to: (i) establish onset and recovery of gambling disorder as well as other substance and behavioral addictions; and (ii) assess processes (e.g., reasons, emotional state, helpfulness) associated with addiction substitution and concurrent recovery. Participants also completed a survey assessing demographic characteristics, gambling behaviors, and psychological characteristics to compare demographic and clinical differences between participants who engaged in addiction substitution, concurrent recovery, or neither (controls). Results: The most frequently reported reason for engaging in addiction substitution was as a substitute coping mechanism. The most reported reason for engaging in concurrent recovery was due to the addictions being mutually influenced. Negative emotional states were common when engaging in both addiction substitution and concurrent recovery. Although the three groups did not differ on gambling characteristics, addiction substitution was associated with greater underlying vulnerabilities including childhood adversity, impulsivity, emotion dysregulation, and, maladaptive coping skills. Conclusion: Transdiagnostic treatments that target the underlying mechanisms of addictions may reduce the likelihood of engaging in addiction substitution.

Confidence and risky decision-making in gambling disorder

Author(s): Monja Hoven,Alejandro Hirmas,Jan Engelmann,Ruth J. van Holst / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2023

People with Gambling Disorder (GD) often make risky decisions and experience cognitive distortions about gambling. Moreover, people with GD have been shown to be overly confident in their decisions, especially when money can be won. Here we investigated if and how the act of making a risky choice with varying monetary stakes impacts confidence differently in patients with GD (n 5 27) relative to healthy controls (HCs) (n 5 30). Methods: We used data from our previous mixed-gamble study, in which participants were given the choice of a certain option or a 50/50 gamble with potential gains or losses, after which they rated their confidence. Results: While HCs were more confident when making certain than risky choices, GD patients were specifically more confident when making risky choices than certain choices. Notably, relative to HCs, confidence of patients with GD decreased more strongly with higher gain values when making a certain choice, suggesting a stronger fear of missing out or “anticipated regret” of missing out on potential gains when rejecting the risky choice. Discussion: The current findings highlight the potential relevance of confidence and “regret” as cognitive mechanisms feeding into excessive risk-taking as seen in GD. Moreover, this study adds to the limited previous work investigating how confidence is affected in value-based risky contexts.

Alcohol Use Disorders: The Role of Employment Status and the Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy

Author(s): Laura-Maria Matei-Mitacu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Alcoholism is an addiction that has a high prevalence in Central and Eastern Europe, alongside tobacco use and obesity, being recognized as one of the major factors contributing to disability and premature death. The economic pressure caused by alcohol consumption is significant, and national economies suffer major deficits due to this widely propagated phenomenon. Understanding the consumption behavior, from its origins to the development of the behavior itself, and the treatment of alcohol dependence, falls within the purview of psychiatric and psychological practice. The multitude of facets of alcohol consumption makes it both attractive to a wide range of individuals and difficult to define in terms of its influence on the person as a whole: physiologically, temperamentally, characterologically, and psychosocially. The effects of alcohol on consumers are specific to a versatile substance: disinhibition, reduction of anxiety, alteration of somatic sensations, speech rate and fluency, motor skills, and other cognitive-behavioral dimensions. The addictiveness of alcohol is closely related to its impact on consumers, especially in terms of the relationship that develops between the individual and the behavior of consumption. As the literature shows, the development of alcohol addiction is linked to deep emotional aspects specific to humans, giving it a psychosocial and cultural component that transforms it into a characteristic human construct.

Acid Rider. Idea „komunizmu kwasowego” Marka Fishera a doświadczenie zewnętrzności

Author(s): Andrzej Karalus / Language(s): Polish Issue: 40/2021

Acid Communism remains an intriguing but regrettably unfinished intro-ductory sketch to the Mark Fisher’s unwritten historical reconstruction of thoseradical political projects which grew up out of the psychedelic culture. This com-pelling idea is a consequence of Fisher’s prior theoretical endeavours. The articleattempts to embed his idea of “acid communism” in a broader context, focusing onFisher’s reflection on psychedelic experience, defined as a form of contact with theOutside. I argue that there is a striking convergence between the conception of “acidcommunism” and matters discussed by Fisher in his last book, The Weird and theEerie, where he analyzed potentially transformative shock of an encounter withradical Otherness. For that reason I will address briefly two musical and culturalphenomena which came into being after the psychedelic era and use them as exem-plifications of the “weird” and “eerie” modes of experience, unfulfilled promises ofpost-capitalist future, which did not find political representation and sank to thelevel of unrealized and “haunted” future of modernism. In the concluding part ofmy article I would show how the idea of “acid communism” is tied to the questionregarding the so called post-capitalist desire and to the Fisher’s idiosyncratic versionof futurist-accelerationism.

VEZANOST ZA ŠKOLU I ADAPTIVNO PONAŠANJE ADOLESCENATA

Author(s): Vesna Buško,Petar Bezinović / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 3/2023

The paper examines the role of school experiences in accounting for behavioural and subjective aspects of high- -school student adjustment. The study data were collected on a stratified random sample of students (N = 978) of both genders and attending all 4 grades of high schools in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Age and gender differences in the level and structure of relationships among the selected measures of school experiences, leisure-time variables, and adaptation outcomes were examined. Higher levels of students’ attachment and commitment to fulfilling school obligations were detected among younger students and females, while the exposure to alcohol and substance use was expectedly found to be more common among higher- -grade students. Multigroup structural equation analyses confirmed significant direct relationships of latent measures of school experiences with general satisfaction with life, and indirect relationships of the same school experiences variables with the regularity of substance use among students. Somewhat different magnitudes of structural parameters were observed between the samples defined by gender, whereas age differences in the obtained pattern of structural relationships were not supported by the empirical data.

Tossicodipendenza e capacità al matrimonio canonico

Author(s): Slavko Zec / Language(s): Italian Issue: 1/2024

La tossicodipendenza senz’altro appartiene ai fenomeni più diffusi tra gli uomini e diverse culture nell’età contemporanea. Purtroppo spesso sono i giovani a cadere in questa dipendenza da sostanze psicoattive per vari motivi. Il percorso può svilupparsi dall’iniziale curiosità fino alle gravissime forme di attaccamento alla droga. Le conseguenze possono essere devastanti per una giovane persona alle soglie di vita. Nel presente lavoro ci occupiamo di questo problema ma sotto un profilo specifico: la tossicodipendenza e la capacità a contrarre un valido matrimonio canonico. Il metodo dovrà essere tale da dover consultare le scienze umane, psicologia e psichiatria, per poi procedere con applicazione sul campo del diritto canonico e relativa giurisprudenza. Si cerca di spiegare i termini elementari quali la stessa tossicodipendenza, tossicomania, dipendenza, astinenza, sostanza psicoattiva. Si offre una possibile divisione delle droghe in vari gruppi secondo gli effetti che producono e il loro influsso sul sistema nervoso centrale. Si procede poi nel campo di diritto canonico col mettere in confronto la tossicodipendenza e capacità o incapacità naturale al consenso matrimoniale riguardo al can. 1095 del Codice di Diritto Canonico del 1983 che dispone sull’mancato uso di ragione (n. 1), sul grave difetto di discrezione di giudizio (n. 2) e sull’incapacità di assumere gli obblighi essenziali del matrimonio per causa di natura psichica (n. 3). Ci serviamo di alcuni esempi della giurisprudenza della Rota Romana e riportiamo alcune sentenze in tema di tossicodipendenza per descrivere in linee generali lo sviluppo della giurisprudenza rotale. In base a tale studio proponiamo alla fine alcune considerazioni conclusive prendendo in considerazione anche la riforma di processi matrimoniali per la dichiarazione della nullità di matrimonio operata da papa Francesco nel 2015.

KOORDINISANA BRIGA O ZAVISNICIMA OD ALKOHOLA KROZ IZRADU NOVOG ZAKONA KOJI PRUŽA MOGUĆNOST ZA BOLJU PREVENCIJU NASILJA

Author(s): Nera Zivlak Radulović / Language(s): Bosnian,Croatian,Serbian Issue: 9/2024

The reform processes within the healthcare system of the Republic of Srpska that began in the nineties of the last century created a more advanced and accessible system of providing mental health care services. At the primary level of health care, the Community Mental Health Center is the main provider of outpatient care and protection providing also comprehensive changes in mental health within local self-government units. Currently, 27 of these centers are registered in the Republic of Srpska, which are all part of the coordinated service of health centers, having good geographical position in terms of spatial distribution. A certain number of persons with mental health disorders (addicts to alcohol and other psychoactive substances) in the process of treatment require treatment in hospital conditions (clinic, hospital, institute). In accordance with the adopted positive reform solutions, it is expected that after rehabilitation and improvement of the clinical picture, the initiated hospital treatment will continue throughout competent Centers, with the involvement of other community partners. All participants involved in the treatment process together should enable continuity of care for persons with mental health disorders. The model of joint planning for the discharge of persons with mental health disorders from the hospital is an important step in the process of ensuring the continuity of mental healthcare in the community. The model is obligatory for health institutions according to the Law on Mental Health Protection of the Republic of Srpska from 2020, Article 42. The process of treating alcohol addicts has always included coordinated care through clubs of treated alcohol addicts. In the clubs, the progress of the addiction treatment was continuously assessed, and families were an indispensable part of the treatment. For the past 17years, the Club of treated alcohol addicts in Banja Luka has been a good example of coordinated care building both intersectoral and intra sectoral connections. The inclusion of coordinated care and joint discharge planning in the Law is only a confirmation of the great role of the clubs. Maintaining abstinence in the local community through participation in a support group is a significant factor in the prevention of violence.

THE NEW KILLING FIELDS ?

Author(s): Gretchen PETERS / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2010

The author argues that the main way to fight the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan is through cutting off their drugs money. However, she writes that these vast criminal profits do not only come from drugs. Afghanistan and Pakistan anti-state groups appear to expend a significant amount of their daily energy engaging in criminal fund-raising techniques. In this respect, she mentions opium trade, drug markets, kidnapping, timber smuggling, human trafficking, bank robbery etc. Then, she mentions that a key question western intelligence forces need to be asking is what the Taliban leadership intends to do with the vast profits it earns from the drugs trade and other crime. Finally, she concludes that degrading the enemy’s source of funding, while simultaneously improving governance, are critical pillars to any counterinsurgency campaign, and Afghanistan and Pakistan will be no exception.

Author(s): Fuad Bakioğlu,Nezir Ekinci,Metin Deniz / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 26/2023

The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of cognitive flexibility between fear of missing out (FoMO) and internet addiction. 389 university students voluntarily participated in the study. Fear of Missing Out Scale, Young Internet Addiction Test Short Form, Cognitive Flexibility Scale, and Personal Information Form were used to collect the data for the research. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to determine the relationships between the variables. The mediating role of cognitive flexibility in the relationship between participants' fear of missing out and internet addiction was tested with the structural equation model. According to the findings, positive correlations were found between the fear of missing out and internet addiction, and negative correlations with cognitive flexibility. A negative correlation was found between cognitive flexibility and internet addiction. Moreover, cognitive flexibility mediates the relationship between the fear of missing out and internet addiction. As a result of the bootstrapping analysis for larger samples, the model of the research was confirmed. As a result, as the fear of missing out on university students’ increases, cognitive flexibility levels decrease; as cognitive flexibility decreases, internet addiction levels increase.

TÜRKİYE’DE ÖLÜMLE SONUÇLANAN İNTİHAR VAKALARININ SOSYODEMOGRAFİK DEĞİŞKENLER AÇISINDAN İNCELENMESİ

Author(s): Tuğba Türkkan,Ibrahim YÜCEL / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 27/2024

In this study, it was examined the deaths due to suicide in Turkey between 2002 and 2022 in terms of sociodemographic variables such as age group, education level and marital status. In addition, the causes and methods of suicide were also included in the study. The data used within the scope of the study were obtained from the database on the official website of the Turkish Statistical Institute, which is allowed to be used for research purposes. Within the scope of the study, between 2002 and 2022, the number of suicide-related deaths in Turkey increased over the years. Except for deaths under the age of 15, it was found that suicide-related mortality rates of men were higher than women in all age groups. When examined in terms of educational status, it was seen that the number of deaths by suicide was the highest in the group whose education level was primary school until 2019. Still, the situation has changed since 2019, and individuals whose education level has been at high school and equivalent level for the last four years are at risk. In addition, it was determined that the number of deaths decreased with age, but there was an increase again in the 75 and over age group. When examined in terms of marital status, it was determined that married individuals were the most risky group in all years between 2002 and 2022. However, illness, parental discord and economic difficulties are the most common causes of suicide. Suicide rates are a macro indicator of the psychosocial well-being of the population and an evaluation criterion of the effectiveness of suicide prevention strategies. The findings of this study indicate that suicide is an important factor among the causes of death, especially among young people. It is thought that this study, which examines the changing patterns in the social determinants of suicide, will contribute to suicide prevention policies.
