In a world increasingly driven by digital technology, cyber-safety is becoming a pressing concern for Internet users. This article contributes to sociological, psychological, and criminological literature on digital risks by investigating the determinants of individuals’ cyber-safety behaviors. Our study adds new insights to digital inequalities studies, cognitive health behavior models, and fear of crime literature by developing and testing a comprehensive theoretical model in a developing economy (Uruguay). To validate our model, we fit structural equations with data from the 2017 WIP+DiSTO Uy survey, a representative sample of Uruguayans (N=653). We found that operational digital skills were the strongest predictor of cyber-safety, while also providing support for the sequentiality of the digital divide hypothesis, as education and age-based disparities affect cyber-safety through their effect on Internet use, which in turn affects digital skills. Additionally, findings contribute both to cognitive behaviors and fear of crime literature, by attesting that gender and age-based disparities only have an indirect effect on cyber-safety, which is mediated by user beliefs regarding the severity of cyber-victimization. The study also provides evidence for the generalization of cyber-safety behavior theories — originally formulated based on data from developed economies — to developing ones, by stressing the role of digital skills and perceptions of victimization severity as the main direct antecedents of cyber-safety.

Previous fear of crime studies have rarely considered how fear of crime is learned or the messengers who teach fear of crime to others. This is especially important with children, who often learn about the world from social influences such as parents and teachers. While some work has been done on children’s fear of crime, this work lacks a consideration of the messages parents give children. Further, this research has been restricted to countries such as the US and England. The current research focuses on a country rarely considered in the fear of crime literature – Sweden. In-depth interviews with 14 parents and 10 children are consulted to determine how parents talk to children about safety and what children hear when receiving such messages. Thus, the interplay between parents and their children in the social learning process of safety precautions are considered.

Laparoskopische Cholezystektomie

Die laparoskopische Cholezystektomie hat sich in weniger als zehn Jahren seit ihrer Einführung im Jahre 1986 zum Gold-Standard in der Behandlung des unkomplizierten und komplizierten Gallensteinleidens entwickelt. Aufgrund ihres durchschlagenden Erfolges ist sie zum Trendsetter der minimal-invasiven Chirurgie geworden, die auf allen Gebieten der Chirurgie die Behandlungsmethoden revolutioniert hat. Obwohl für uns heute selbstverständlich, blickt die minimal-invasive Chirurgie auf eine langwierige und hindernisreiche Entwicklungsgeschichte zurück. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, einen kurzen Überblick über die Geschichte der Laparoskopie und der laparoskopischen Cholezystektomie sowie deren Auswirkung auf die Entwicklung der minimal-invasiven Chirurgie zu geben.

Abstract. Although management paradigms for certain arterial trauma, such as aortic injuries, have moved towards an endovascular approach, the application of endovascular techniques for the treatment of peripheral arterial injuries continues to be debated. In the realm of peripheral vascular trauma, popliteal arterial injuries remain a devastating condition with significant rates of limb loss. Expedient management is essential and surgical revascularization has been the gold standard. Initial clinical assessment of vascular injury is aided by readily available imaging techniques such as duplex ultrasonography and high resolution computed tomographic angiography. Conventional catheter based angiography, however, remain the gold standard in the determination of vascular injury. There are limited data examining the outcomes of endovascular techniques to address popliteal arterial injuries. In this review, we examine the imaging modalities and current approaches and data regarding endovascular techniques for the management popliteal arterial trauma.

Pancreatic Imaging

Die Pankreasdiagnostik mittels CT und MRI wurde in den vergangenen Jahren wesentlich verfeinert und verbessert. Die Computertomographie liefert die höchste, fast isotrope 3D-Auflösung, ist sehr empfindlich für Verkalkungen und bei Trauma- und Intensivpatienten sowie Mehrregionenuntersuchungen vorzuziehen. Die MRI bietet dank höherem Kontrast eine feinere Differenzierung und ein etwas besseres Staging; nicht-invasiv gestattet sie eine gleichzeitige Mitdarstellung der Blutgefässe, des Pankreasgangs und der Gallenwege. Die modernen Untersuchungstechniken beider Verfahren, ihre Vor- und Nachteile sowie die klinischen Resultate bei verschiedenen Pathologien werden dargestellt.
