Traumatic Brain Injury and Sexually Offensive Behaviors.

Sexually offensive behavior is known to be one of many consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This article provides a brief review of research to ascertain the effects of TBI in childhood and adulthood as related to cognitive, behavioral, social, and sexual behaviors. Brain impairment is also identified as a result of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Individuals with sexual offending histories are found to have experienced high numbers of ACEs. Sexually offensive and sexual offending behaviors post-TBI appears to occur in between 3.5 and 9% of affected adults (Simpson, Blaszczynski & Hodgkinson, 1999; Simpson, Sabaz & Daher, 2013). It is recommended that treatment providers make themselves aware of the relationship between TBI, ACEs, and sexually offensive behavior and how this may affect the treatment process.

Análise sequencial de comportamentos ofensivos desempenhados por seleções nacionais de futebol de alto rendimento / Sequential analysis of attacking behaviors performed by top-level national soccer teams / Análisis secuencial de comportamientos ofensivos realizados por selecciones nacionales de fútbol de alto Rendimiento

ResumoO presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar diferentes padrões de jogo ofensivo evidenciados pelas seis seleções de futebol participantes das finais da Copa do Mundo de 2006 e da Eurocopa de 2004 e 2008. A partir da Análise Sequencial pela Técnica de Retardos foram avaliadas 647 sequências ofensivas de jogo. Foi usada a metodologia observacional no sentido de perceber as ações feitas. Recorreu-se ao software SDIS &GSEQ para a análise dos dados a partir da técnica de retardos. Para a análise estatística inferencial foi usado o teste qui-quadrado (χ2). Os resultados levam a admitir que o jogo de futebol respeita o princípio da equifinalidade, ou seja, é possível alcançar-se o topo na classificação recorrendo-se a padrões táticos claramente diferenciados.

AbstractThe present study aimed to evaluate the offensive behaviors performed by the six national soccer teams participating of the finals on 2006 World Cup and 2004 and 2008 Euro Cup, using the sequential analysis by the Lag Method, in order to verify the different offensive game patterns. There were evaluated 647 offensive game sequences. It was used the Observational Methodology that allows us to understand the realized actions. The instrument used was the software SIDS & GSEQ. The data analysis was performed by the Lag Method, which allows us to establish the model sequences used by the teams. For the statistical analysis it was used the Chi-squared (χ2) test. The results showed that the six teams analyzed presented distinct offensive game sequences.

ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue identificar diferentes patrones de juego ofensivo, analizados en las seis selecciones de fútbol participantes de las finales del Mundial de 2006 y de La Eurocopa de 2004 y 2008. A partir del análisis secuencial, por medio de la Técnica de Retardos (TR) fueron evaluadas 647 secuencias ofensivas de juego. Fue utilizada la Metodología Observacional para percibir las acciones realizadas. El programa SDIS & GSEQ fue utilizado para el análisis de los datos y conforme la TR. Para el análisis de los datos fue utilizada la prueba de Ji-cuadrado (c2). Los resultados permiten concluir que en el fútbol se respeta el principio de equifinalidad, es decir, es posible alcanzar los primeros lugares de la clasificación utilizando patrones tácticos diferenciados.
