Iowa Criminal and Juvenile Justice Plan 2002 Update, 2002

This report discusses a number of topics and presents data and other information in response to Iowa Code Section 216A.135’s mandate for an annual Plan Update. It was prepared as an e-document and relies mainly on links to other documents which, when combined, make up the complete report. The outline that follows names the issues being presented this year by the CJJPAC and is both a table of contents and a “site-map” for the report.

Iowa Juvenile Crime Prevention Community Grant Fund Outcomes Report and FY 2002 Juvenile Justice Youth Development Program Summary, 2002

This document contains two related, but separate reports. The Juvenile Crime Prevention Community Grant Fund Outcomes Report is a summary of outcomes from services and activities funded through the Juvenile Crime Prevention Community Grant Fund in FY2001. The Juvenile Justice Youth Development Program Summary describes Iowa communities current prevention and sanction programs supported with funding from the Division of Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning (CJJP) during FY2002.

Long-Range Goals for Iowa's Criminal & Juvenile Justice Systems, 2000

Iowa Code Section 216A.135 requires the Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning Advisory Council (CJJPAC) to submit a long-range plan for Iowa's justice system to the Governor and General Assembly every five years. The first plan developed after the creation of the Division of Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning was issued in 1990 and annually updated through 1994. Since 1992, appropriation law has required the CJJPAC to coordinate their planning activities with those of the Iowa Juvenile Justice Advisory Council (JJAC).

Fractures dorsales du triquetrum : avulsion ou conflit ulno-carpien? Aspects IRM 3T et lésions associées.

Objectifs: Déterminer les caractéristiques en IRM 3T et discuter l'étiologie des fractures dorsales du triquetrum. Evaluer les lésions associées, notamment des ligamentsextrinsèques dorsaux.Matériels et méthodes: Etude rétrospective (septembre 2007 - décembre 2010) incluant 18 patients avec radiographies conventionnelles et IRM du poignet à 3T présentant une fracturedorsale du triquetrum. Protocole IRM comprenant une séquence T1-VIBE coronale haute résolution (0,3mm) isotropique avec suppression de graisse et aprèsinjection intraveineuse de Gadolinium. Lecture consensuelle par 2 radiologues évaluant les caractéristiques suivantes : taille et déplacement du fragment osseux,localisation de l'oedème médullaire, lésion des ligaments extrinsèques dorsaux (radio-triquetral, scapho-triquetral et ulno-triquetral), autres lésions associées.Inclusion d'un groupe contrôle de 20 patients, afin d'évaluer localisation et visibilité des enthèses ligamentaires extrinsèques dorsales .Résultats: Identification de 14 lésions ligamentaires scapho-triquetrales, 12 ulno-triquetrales et 8 radio-triquetrales, corrélées à la localisation de l'oedème osseux. Absenced'oedème de la styloïde ulnaire évocatrice de conflit. Volume moyen des fragments de 210 mm3, avec déplacement le plus fréquemment distal. Dans le groupecontrôle, visibilité des ligaments scapho-triquetral, radio-triquetral et ulno-triquetral dans respectivement 100% (20/20), 90% (18/20) et 70% (14/20) des cas.Conclusion: L'IRM 3T permet d'évaluer précisément les fractures dorsales du triquetrum et leurs lésions associées , y compris la distribution des oedèmes osseux. Cesfractures auraient donc une étiologie mixte.

The post-communist fertility puzzle

Fertility has unanimously declined across the entire post-communist region. This study explores the variation in fertility trends over time among these countries and assesses to what degree three explanations are applicable: second demographic transition (SDT), postponement transition (PPT) or reaction to the economic crisis. Moreover, on the basis of SDT and PPT theoretical tenets, as well as descriptive evidence, the economic context is hypothesized to be linked to two processes of fertility decline conversely. The results show that no one theoretical explanation is sufficient to explain the complex fertility declines across the entire post-communist region from 1990 to 2003. In some countries, a great part of the decline in fertility occurred before significant postponement of childbearing began, which indicates that the dramatic decline was due to stopping behavior or postponement of higher order births. Postponement of first births, either through PPT or SDT processes, greatly contributed to fertility decline in a small number of countries. Pooled cross-sectional time-series analyses of age-specific birthrates confirm that these two distinct processes are present and show that the economic crisis explanation has explanatory power for declining birth rates. In contrast, logistic regressions show that the likelihood of postponing childbirth increases with improved economic conditions. These results confirm the importance of taking the economic context into account when discussing explanations for fertility decline. More specifically, the results indicate that the severity and duration of economic crisis, or absence thereof, influenced the extent and manner in which fertility declined.
