Do coping strategies mediate the effects of childhood adversities and traumata on clinical high-risk of psychosis, depression, and social phobia? A cross-sectional study on patient... by Zhixiong Chang, Naweed Osman, Carolin Martha Doll, Theresa Katharina Lichtenstein, Marlene Rosen, Eva Meisenzahl, Hanna Kadel, Joseph Kambeitz, Kai Vogeley, Frauke Schultze-Lutter

“…Conclusions Our findings underscore the complex interplay of the CAT domains and their relevant mediators with mental health outcomes that likely reflect underlying sex-specific psychological, social, cultural and neurobiological mechanisms. Supporting a broader view on CAT than the traditional focus on sexual abuse, results indicate an important role of emotional abuse that, descriptively, is most strongly mediated by maladaptive coping strategies on mental health outcomes. …”

Types of Penalties in the Sanction of Part 1 of the Article 296 of the Current Criminal Code of Ukraine: Non-Hidden Challenges with a Hidden Sense by Ya. H. Lyzohub

“…We note that the current wording of the sanction of Part 1 of the Art. 296 cannot properly perform the tasks of the criminal policy of Ukraine, because the norm is actually deprived of a flexible mechanism for its application in practice. The incorrect combination of fines, arrest and community service as the main types of punishment for the so-called simple hooliganism is believed the reason for this situation, because the inclusion of such penalties in the sanction of Part 1 of the Art. 296 took place without taking into account some features of their purpose, prescribed in the relevant provisions of the General Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. …”
