Abstract:
There is little information about the onset and the developmental course of child sexual behavior problems (SBPs), including sexually intrusive behaviors (SIBs). Using data from the Vancouver Longitudinal Study on the Psychosocial Development of Children, the current study examined the presence of distinct patterns of sexual development among children. A normative sample of preschoolers ( N = 354) with a small clinical subsample were followed from age 3 to 8 with repetitive measurements of sexual behaviors using a revised version of Child Sexual Behavior Inventory. Semiparametric group-based modeling identified four distinct sexual development trajectories: the very low (10.5%), the low declining (27.8%), the moderate stable (48.3%), and the high-rate increasing (13.4%). In contrast to the other developmental trajectories found, the high-rate-increasing pattern showed that sexual behaviors became increasingly extensive after school entry. Children characterized by this developmental pattern, especially boys, were more likely to be involved in SIBs after elementary school entry than those in the other groups. Findings highlight the presence of multiple developmental trajectories of sexual development with significantly different behavioral patterns after school entry.

Abstract:
Background. The debate on whether participation in sports enhances or curtails risky sexual behavior among athletes continues. The purpose of the study was to establish the sexual behavior patterns and associated high risks among University student-athletes. Methods. A cross-sectional survey research design was used to collect self-report data on sexual behaviors from university student-athletes (n = 151) who participated in a University sports tournament. Descriptive statistics of frequencies and proportions and inferential statistics of chi-square test of independent measures were used to analyze the data. Majority (65%) of the student-athletes were taking part in Ball games and Racket games (13.9%). Results. About a third (33%) of the student-athletes had their first sexual debut while aged between 18 and 20 years, 60% had regular sexual partners, over 30% had more than one sexual partner and 67% would have sexual intercourse with strangers; only 58% of these would seek the sexual history of the strangers. More than half (55%) of the student-athletes frequently used condoms to prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, but only 39% of them always used condoms with their sexual partners in the last six months. The participants’ sexual behaviors differed significantly (p < .05) by their gender. Males tended to start having sexual intercourse earlier (p < .002), had more than one sexual partner (p < 0.001) and would always use condoms (p < .001) than females, but more females than males would have sexual intercourse with a stranger (p < .001). Conclusions. Kenyan University student-athletes are sexually active and are faced with high risk sexual behaviors like multiple sexual partners and sexual intercourse with strangers. The difference in patterns of sexual behavior between male and female student-athletes calls for gender specific interventions by programmers, policy makers and health workers. Keywords: sexual behaviors, student-athletes, sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s).

The article contains a historical – anthropological view of the woman and her sexuality. It also includes ancient myths and cultures, medieval beliefs, until the sexual revolution of the 20th century and emancipation movements. The impact of systemic transformation on changes in hu-man consciousness and behaviour was also addressed. These changes also apply to the modern family as well as the occurrence of phenomena classified as pathological and/or deviant. The article, in its broader con-text, also touches on the changes that have taken place in the field of sexual mores under the influence of industrialization, urbanization and the transition from traditional to industrialized society. In addition, forms of socio-existorical prostitution have been shown.

Abstract:
Risky sexual behavior is any behavior that increases the probability of negative consequences associated with sexual contact. Family environment, peer influence, community factors, and school attachment seem to be important factors affecting sexual risk behavior and decision in school/higher institution youths. This research has also been conducted to inspect the patterns of sexual risk behavior among undergraduate university students in Ethiopia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted by using self-administered structured questionnaire to collect data on sociodemographic, sexual, and associated risk behaviors among Woldia University students. Descriptive and multivariate logistic regression model was carried out using SPSS version. The results revealed that 28.34% of the total study participants reported to have had sexual intercourse at least once. More proportion of male students ever had sex compared with females. One fifth of these students had their first sexual experience after they joined university. About 6% of students with sexual experience reported having had intercourse with same-sex partners. Half of the males with sexual experience had intercourse with a commercial sex worker. Regarding the use of condom, majority of the students reported to have used a condom once in a blue moon. Not using condom at the first and last sexual engagement were significant predictors of having multiple sexual partners. This study revealed risky sexual behaviors among university students. Thus, continuous and intensified public health strategies on health education and reproductive health services are required to address the sexual and reproductive health needs of the students.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Internationally there is concern about the reproductive health of adolescents. In South Africa a growing concern is the rampant sexual activity of underage learners. This study seeks to explore the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of a group of adolescents with regard to their psycho-sexual development. A qualitative study was conducted, with data being collected by using semistructured interviews, which were subsequently analysed thematically. The data was analysed and five themes emerged from the three categories (knowledge, attitudes and behaviour). The five themes that emerged were knowledge about HIV/AIDS and venereal diseases, where participants received their knowledge about sexual issues, knowledge about conception and pregnancy, attitudes about sexuality and sexual behaviours. The study found a disparity between participants' knowledge, attitudes and sexual behaviour. Many participants have not developed a healthy sexual identity because of many factors that has contributed to this development. Some of these factors were social, parental, emotional, socio-economic, lack of appropriate knowledge, media and attitudinal influences. The findings indicated that the majority of the participants had a fairly good knowledge about HIV/AIDS but were less knowledgeable about other venereal diseases. It appeared that many of the participants did not have reliable sources to furnish them adequate answers to sexuality questions. This lack of information had a direct bearing on the formation of their sexual attitudes and behaviours. There was a marked difference between the sexual practices reported by the male and female participants. More of the male participants reported that they engaged in sexual activity as compared to the female participants. The study also highlighted the interrelatedness between knowledge, attitudes and behaviour.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Internasionaal bestaan daar groot kommer aangaande die reproduktiewe gesondheid van adolessente. In Suid Afrika is die toenemende seksuele aktiwiteit van minderjarige leerders 'n toenemende bron van kommer. Hierdie studie het ten doelom die kennis, houdings en gedrag van 'n groep adolessente ten opsigte van hulle psigo-seksuele ontwikkeling te eksploreer. 'n Kwalitatiewe studie is uitgevoer. Data is ingesamel deur middel van semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude, wat tematies geanaliseer is. Vyf temas vanuit drie kategorieë (kennis, houdings en gedrag) het na vore gekom. Die vyf temas sluit in kennis aangaande HIVNIGS en veneriese siektes, waar adolessente hulle kennis aangaande seksuele sake ontvang het, kennis aangaande konsepsie en swangerskap, houdings aangaande seksualiteit en seksuele gedragsvorme. Die studie het 'n dispariteit gevind tussen deelnemers se kennis, houdings en seksuele gedrag. Baie van die deelnemers het nie seksuele identiteit ontwikkel nie, as gevolg van verskeie faktore wat hierdie ontwikkeling beïnvloed het. Sosiale, ouerlike, emosionele en sosio-ekonomiese veranderlikes, onkunde, sowel as die invloed van die media, is faktore wat bydra tot die swak ontwikkelde seksuele identiteit van deelnemers. Die bevindinge het aangetoon dat die oorgrote meerderheid van die respondente 'n redelik goeie kennis aangaande HIVNIGS het, maar nie so goed ingelig is aangaande veneriese siektes nie. Dit wil voorkom asof 'n aansienlike hoeveelheid van die deelnemers nie oor betroubare bronne beskik om hulle van die nodige antwoorde op seksuele vrae te voorsien nie. Hierdie gebrek aan informasie het 'n direkte invloed op die vorming van hul houdings aangaande seksualiteit en hul seksuele gedrag. 'n Betekenisvolle verskil is tussen die seksuele praktyke van manlike en vroulike deelnemers gevind. Meer manlike deelnemers was betrokke in seksuele bedrywighede in vergelyking met vroulike deelnemers. Die onderlinge verwantskap tussen kennis, houdings en gedrag is ook deur die studie na vore gebring.

Abstract:
This study involves an analysis of accounts of first and subsequent early sexual experiences in a deep rural area of the Eastern Cape in South Africa over the last forty years. Through interviews and focus group discussions, the enculturation of youth into sexual activity in the community of interest is explored. The study looks into sexual experiences from childhood, through early adolescence to adults of up to sixty five years old, allowing an analysis of the changing forms of sexual experimentation and sexual debut in this context. Contextual factors mediating these changes are explored, with special emphasis on the changing regulatory practices around early sexual experiences and the effect thereof on behaviors connected to HIV infection risk. Practices that were previously important mediators of sexual behavior were: anxiety about the social consequences of pregnancy, which was previously a significant disincentive to sexual intercourse; men's previous acceptance of the need to practice non-penetrative forms of sex and girls postponing sexual debut for as long as possible. All these were culturally endorsed, but are now noted to have changed due to changes in the regulatory practices surrounding youth sexuality. The context of early sexual experiences and the surrounding cultural practices have also changed significantly, and this needs to be taken into account in understanding receptivity to condom use messages. Implications for HIV/AIDS prevention are discussed. Among other interventions, the study describes a participatory, community-based, multi-sectoral approach that takes social conditions into account as a way of empowering the community to strengthen its response to the pandemic. This incorporates different sectors of the community, including youth, parents, religious and traditional leaders, and various other structures, services and institutions that make up the community.

Abstract:
The chapters in this volume share the theme that our understanding of pattern, process, and consequence in the study of behavioral evolution can be advanced by examining differences among conspecific populations. Traditionally, biologists have sought such understanding by comparing different species. Although differences among species are usually greater than differences among conspecific populations, so many factors can vary interspecifically that determining selection pressures driving behavioral divergence may be difficult. As Arnold (1992) has argued, confounding variables often are less prevalent in intraspecific studies; in addition, relatively small evolutionary changes may be perceptible. From a historical perspective, there appear to be good reasons for believing that sexual behavior should show little variation among conspecific populations. First, early species concepts largely were typological, and accorded intraspecific variation with no reality, let alone importance (Mayr 1976). Partially due to such thinking, early ethologists argued that certain behavior patterns should be largely invariant. For Lorenz (1970), courtship behavior was a prime example of such a “fixed action pattern” (or FAP), a predictable and stereotyped sequence of actions that was elicited by a specific releasing stimulus. Later work revealed that such sequences are more variable than once thought, leading to the suggestion that the FAP be replaced by the MAP, or “modal action pattern.” This stresses the average or modal nature of much behavior (Barlow 1977). The second reason for expecting little intraspecific variation in sexual behavior derives in part from the modern synthesis. The “founding fathers” of modern evolutionary biology placed great emphasis on the role of species differences in preventing interspecific mating and wastage of reproductive effort in the production of unfit hybrid offspring (e.g., Dobzhansky 1937). Indeed, Tinbergen (1953) stated that one of the functions of mating behavior is to ensure such reproductive isolation among species. Presumably, selection would strongly favor the production of unambiguous signals, leading to invariance. The earliest evidence demonstrating the existence of intraspecific variation in sexual behavior patterns came from studies that were firmly rooted in concepts that characterized the early stages of the modern synthesis.

Abstract:
This chapter presents the case studies that underpin the analysis of the long-term impacts of sexual exploitation and abuse. It develops a detailed account of the context, nature, and scale of sexual misconduct during peace operations in Bosnia and Timor-Leste, drawing extensively on primary research in the two countries. The behaviors spanned all four types of misconduct and were perpetrated by a variety of uniformed and civilian interveners, including peacekeepers and non-UN personnel associated with the international community's presence in each country. They confirm many of the trends identified in the previous chapter about patterns of perpetration and contributing factors. However, this analysis also demonstrates that the ways in which local communities experience sexual exploitation and abuse is grounded in historical experience, cultural norms, and, in many ways, the particular forms of material deprivation and conflict-related sexual violence experienced, with significant variation between what was considered inappropriate behavior in the two countries.

Abstract:
This research applies a social network perspective to the issue of cyber aggression, or cyberbullying, on the social media platform Twitter. Cyber aggression is particularly problematic because of its potential for anonymity, and the ease with which so many others can join the harassment of victims. Utilizing a comparative case study methodology, the authors examined thousands of Tweets to explore the use of denigrating slurs and insults contained in public tweets that target an individual's gender, race, or sexual orientation. Findings indicate cyber aggression on Twitter to be extensive and often extremely offensive, with the potential for serious, deleterious consequences for its victims. The study examined a sample of 84 aggressive networks on Twitter and visualize several social networks of communication patterns that emanate from an initial, aggressive tweet. The authors identify six social roles that users can assume in the network, noting differences in these roles by demographic category. Serious ethical concerns pertain to this technological, social problem.

Abstract:
The research literature regarding fears associated with online activities of adolescents was reviewed and assessed in relation to earlier research reported by the author. The original qualitative study focused on the interactions between the social networks of young adolescents and their computer usage. Particular attention was devoted to determining whether heavy computer use tended to isolate adolescent users. The findings challenged the common attributions of prevalent danger, that heavy youthful computer users would experience social isolation. That earlier research led to further questioning of the potential harm of computer use in relation to contagion effects and alarms raised regarding sexual solicitation via the Internet. Recent literature was examined to assess whether danger warnings have been magnified, distorted, or manipulated for ideological purposes. Contrary to popular considerations, the interpersonal lives and computer activities of early adolescents reciprocally reinforced patterns of behavior that lowered the likelihood of risk behaviors to a significantly greater degree than did direct parental involvement. Recommendations to responsible adults were offered to re-focus energies and efforts in directions that would support appropriate computer use and promote pro-social behaviors of online adolescents.

Abstract:
Evolutionary ecology explores the intimate relationships between the mechanisms responsible for the production and maintenance of organismal form and the ecological function of the structures and behaviors that compose form (Arnold 1983). The analysis of diversity from this perspective is founded on the premise that variation in measured phenotypes can reflect the results of the process of natural selection (Williams 1966, 1992; Gould and Vrba 1982). However, because the fitness consequences of any particular phenotype are the result of complex interactions among an individual’s genotype, morphology, behavior, and the environment within which it must function (Gould and Lewontin 1978, Endler 1986), a phenotype best suited for one set of environmental conditions may not perform best in another (e.g., Endler 1983, Rausher 1984, Ehlinger and Wilson 1988, Schluter 1993). When making comparisons among populations, phenotypic variation due to underlying genetic differences that may reflect evolutionary responses to different environments must be distinguished from phenotypic variation that results from phenotypic plasticity and/or genotype–environment interactions (Stearns 1989). For example, regional environmental variation can result in different selective regimes among populations and produce “site-dependent” fitnesses for phenotypes (e.g., Reznick et al. 1990, Robinson and Wilson 1994; chapters in this volume). Likewise, varying social and trophic conditions on a local scale can result in “situation-dependent” performances and payoffs for different phenotypes within populations (Maynard-Smith 1974, Ehlinger 1990, Krebs and Kacelnik 1991). Both phenomena may influence patterns of geographic variation and must be considered when studying phenotypic differences among populations. My aim in this chapter is to illustrate how population comparisons of bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) can be used to study the evolution of behavioural and morphological variation. Critical features that shape bluegill trophic ecology (e.g., temperature, depth, substrate type, prey types, productivity, and predator abundance) vary among lakes in combination with forces that influence reproductive ecology (e.g., availability of spawning habitat and age or size structure of the population). Population comparisons provide unique opportunities for discerning the roles of sexual and trophic selection in bluegill phenotypic evolution.

Abstract:
This chapter present ways parents can communicate about risk-taking behaviors. Underage drinking and the increased use of marijuana and e-cigarettes are identified as dangers. The marketing of e-cigarettes to young people and the legalization of marijuana present challenges. The current substances available to students are detailed. Parent–student communication continues to be important for students leaving home and creating patterns of their own. Parents’ values and behavior are predictors of teens’ use of substances. There is an association between underage drinking and chronic marijuana use and depression. Teenagers who are sensation-seeking present a difficult challenge for parents. Also important are conversations about respect and safety in sexual relationships. Parental monitoring, limit-setting, and ongoing communication can help prevent risk-taking behaviors. The need for students to develop refusal skills and the importance of establishing house rules and consequences are described.

Abstract:
Children's gender perceptions are actively formed in preschool age and are an integral component of person's gender identity. The formation of sexual identity of a child continues from 2 to 7 years, and the formation of his/her imagination occurs in the process of socialization through: identification, imitation, following, modeling, direction, self-determination, encouragement, self-acceptance, self-reflection, cognitive dissonance. Child masters the social norms, patterns of behavior and cultural values of his/her nation. The gender approach to the upbringing of the preschool children should be focused on the formation and establishment of equal, gender-independent opportunities for self-realization of the individual. However as practical experience shows, the gender component and its methodological data are insufficient in terms of the content of preschool education. In preschool institutions, gender education takes place spontaneously, educators use the traditional approach to forming child's self-esteem and his stereotypes of self-perception only on the basis of gender, so it is important today to pay more attention to gender education and socialization. Experimentally it has been investigated the peculiarities of gender and age identification of the preschoolers of the preschool institution of a combined type #9 of the city of Chernivtsi. According to the research, the greater part of children of 5-6 years old are aware of their belonging to the male or female sex, having the already formed gender identity. Gender perceptions of preschool children are gender-appropriate: girls’ - feminine, and boys’ – masculine. In addition, they are stereotypical: boys have instrumental role, girls-expressive.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Sexually Transmitted Infection is still a public health problem globally, because the pattern of the disease almost occurs in all countries until now, especially syphilis. Homosexual behavior, sexual promiscuity, and migration from one place to another can be potential to be transmitted by syphilis. This study aimed to analyze the influence of behavioral factors towards the incidence of syphilis in the work area of the Public Health Centers in Medan, 2019. Subjects and Method: A case control study was conducted in Teladan, Helvetia and Padang Bulan Public health centre. A sample of 80 consisting of 40 cases and 40 control was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variable was syphilis. The independent variables were HIV status, history of sexually transmitted diseases, previous history of syphilis, history of circumcision, use of condoms, use of drugs, number of sex partners and the average frequency of sex. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Variables that influence syphilis are the history of syphilis (OR= 28.52; 95% CI= 7.55 to 107.78; p= 0.0001) and drug use (OR= 15.12; 95% CI= 2.57 to 89.24; p= 0.003). Meanwhile, HIV status (OR = 1.55; 95% CI= 0.41 to 5.87; p= 0.520), use of condoms (OR= 0.2 01; 95% CI= 0.63 to 8.90; p= 0.201) and sexually transmitted diseases (OR= 1.53; 95%CI= 0.23 to 10.18; p= 0.660). The previous history of syphilis was the dominant influence of the incidence of syphilis (OR=28.52; 95% CI= 7.55 to 107.78; p=0.001). Conclusion: Variables that influence syphilis are the history of syphilis (OR= 28.52; 95% CI= 7.55 to 107.78; p= 0.0001) and drug use (OR= 15.12; 95% CI= 2.57 to 89.24; p= 0.003). Meanwhile, HIV status (OR = 1.55; 95% CI= 0.41 to 5.87; p= 0.520), use of condoms (OR= 0.2 01; 95% CI= 0.63 to 8.90; p= 0.201) and sexually transmitted diseases (OR= 1.53; 95%CI= 0.23 to 10.18; p= 0.660). The previous history of syphilis was the dominant influence of the incidence of syphilis (OR=28.52; 95% CI= 7.55 to 107.78; p=0.001). Conclusion: It is recommended that the Health Service of Medan can give inputs for developing health intervention program, including the evaluation of STI intervention programs. The management of Teladan, Helvetia and Padang Bulan Public Health Centers should increase counseling, medication, and prevention programs towards syphilis for the high risk male population.

Abstract:
An experimental study is made of flow through models simulating the human abdominal aorta and human coronary arteries. Compliant silicone models are used to investigate fluid-wall interactions of geometries simulating arteries in healthy and diseased states, with the difference between the two being a localized wall thickening on the diseased model to simulate plaque deposition. Physiological flow waveforms and constant pressure external to the model wall are used as input conditions. Using flow visualization and particle image velocimetry, flow stability and transitional behaviors are studied and compared with velocity profiles for resting and exercise states deduced from clinical flow rate data. In these Reynolds and Sexl-Womersley matched experiments, the flow phantom representing the diseased slate demonstrates recirculation zones both upstream and downstream of the stenosis, while the healthy artery demonstrates a more unidirectional flow pattern. The contrast between the high-Reynolds, high-Sexl-Womersley number flow regime of the abdominal aorta and the lower-Reynolds, lower-Sexl-Womersley number behavior of the coronary arteries illustrates the importance of transitional behaviors in the human body and specifically in the progression of atherosclerosis.
