LGBTQIA+ Identity-Related Concerns of Sexual Assault Survivors Who Access an Anonymous Online Hotline.

LGBTQIA+ individuals experience higher rates of sexual violence victimization than their heterosexual, cisgender counterparts. Emerging research suggests unique barriers to disclosure and help-seeking in the aftermath of sexual assault, but relatively little work has examined LGBTQIA+ identity-related concerns discussed in a help-seeking context. This study examined anonymous, archival data, from a sample of 292 visitors to the National Sexual Assault Online Hotline.

Survivors' Concerns During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Qualitative Insights From the National Sexual Assault Online Hotline.

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of stay-at-home orders in March 2020, experts warned of the possible threat of increased interpersonal violence among individuals isolated with abusers. Researchers have sought to understand how the pandemic impacted victims primarily through the analysis of administrative data sources, such as hospital and police records. However, the preponderance of this data shows a decrease in formal help-seeking among victims during the pandemic, speaking to an impaired access to services but limiting our understanding of other ways in which the pandemic has affected survivors.

Reactions to the disclosure of intrafamilial childhood sexual abuse: Findings from the National Sexual Assault Online Hotline.

Introduction: For child sexual abuse (CSA) victims, disclosure can be helpful or harmful depending on how recipients respond. Despite a growing body of literature examining reactions to disclosure, little is known about the experiences of current CSA victims, particularly those abused by family.

Objective: We aimed to describe and explore the initial disclosure experiences of intrafamilial CSA victims, and whether reactions varied based on the type of disclosure recipient.

Effects of recB21, recF143, and uvrD152 on recombination in lambda bacteriophage-prophage and Hfr by F- crosses.

The effects of the mutation pairs recB21 recF143 and recB21 uvrD152 on the frequency of genetic recombination were investigated in lambda phage-prophage crosses under homoimmune conditions. To prevent recombinants from being formed by the phage red system, these experiments were performed with phages and prophages carrying red and gam mutations. Both spontaneous and damage-induced recombination was measured, the phages being either undamaged or treated with trimethylpsoralen and 360-nm light to cross-link the phage DNA.

Influence of recC and uvrD on ultraviolet-induced mutation to valine resistance in E. coli K12.

The production of mutants in E. coli exposed to ultraviolet light is initiated by photochemical reactions, and completed by metabolic processes controlled by recA and other genes. Ultraviolet-induced mutagenesis to valine resistance was measured in cells carrying recC, uvrD, or both recC and uvrD.
