Abstract:

In the dissertation the concept and attributes of cheating in sports are analyzed from the context of various legal and criminological paradigms; also the legal liability for illegal possession of doping and match-fixing is studied and how such liability might be applied in Lithuania and abroad. Moreover, the concept of prevention of cheating in sports is unfolded and the levels of prevention are introduced. The prevalence of two most dangerous forms of cheating in sports is analyzed; accordingly the data of empirical research are compared with foreign empirical data and scientific literature.

Abstract:

It is well established that fetal alcohol exposure can disturb the development of the fetus and cause a range of effects for the affected child. However, research on the effects of exposure to lower levels is inconclusive and the subject is debated. Based on the precautionary principle women in many countries, Sweden included, are advised to maintain total abstinence throughout pregnancy. Regardless, studies have shown that a significant proportion of women consume alcohol around conception and throughout pregnancy. The overall aim of this thesis was to generate knowledge about the prevalence,

Abstract:

Asthma prevalence continues to increase across the United States of America, affecting more than 43.1 million people and projected to affect over 50 million people by 2025. Asthma prevalence differs by demographic characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, education, age and gender. Poor quality of life is common among people who suffer from asthma, in addition to school and work absenteeism. In 2008, children 5-17 years old with at least one reported asthma attack missed 10.5 million school days in the past year (CDC, 2010). Healthcare use for asthma is high and disparit

Abstract:

This research focuses on occupational hearing loss (OHL) in the Australian mining sector. The research aimed to gain insights into the nature and extent of OHL, identify intervention strategies to prevent its progression, and explore workers' perceptions and barriers related to OHL and noise control. The research consisted of two major themes. The first was a cross-sectional, repeated observational study conducted to examine the hearing threshold levels (HTL) of workers in NSW coal mines, and compare them to an age-matched population. The aim was to determine if there was any noticeable OHL in

Abstract:

In Ethiopia, one of the primary contributors to blindness is trachoma, which is an infectious ocular disease. There is no record of any prevention programs in rural Ethiopian villages of Oromia, where the prevalence of trachoma is high. The original purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the perceptions of rural Oromo villagers in Ethiopia on the causes, treatment, and prevention of trachoma, using the health belief model and the social-ecological model as a theoretical framework. Due to a security situation in Ethiopia, final interviews were conducted with immigrant Ethiopians
