Article Synopsis
- Drought usually harms plants, but its effect on insects can be different depending on the type and seriousness of the drought.
- Some butterflies, like the Finnish Glanville fritillary, have been affected by less rain, but it's unclear if this is due to plants dying or just becoming less healthy.
- Research showed that caterpillars eating stressed plants grew faster and had different gut bacteria, suggesting that mild drought might actually help them by providing better nutrients.
The present study investigated how Swedish district court judges assessed child victims' credibility and the reliability of their testimony in cases of alleged human trafficking for sexual purposes. Court files from 12 different cases, involving 16 alleged child victims (aged 13-17 years old), all of them girls, were qualitatively analyzed with particular attention paid to how the judges described credibility and reliability. Results indicated that, although the judges' assessments to a large extent were based on the Swedish Supreme Court's criteria for credibility and reliability, they were applied somewhat arbitrarily and subjectively.
