There has been limited study of the link between victimization and the criminal offense in the correctional context, despite the extensive literature supporting the overlap of victims and offenders in the general population. In this study, 2,880 inmates in 12 institutional correction facilities in Taiwan were examined to explore the common factors of the victim-offender overlap, guided by the importation, deprivation, and low self-control theories. The results of bivariate probit regression analysis revealed the presence of the victim-offender phenomenon in Taiwanese inmates. Specifically, the inmates who had experienced violent victimization in childhood and those who held negative perceptions of corrections staff and management tended to be both victims and offenders as measured by various types of prison misconduct and victimization. The results also showed that importation and deprivation factors have similar explanatory power for both misconduct and victimization, and low self-control has greater explanatory power for misconduct than for victimization.

Evaluation of risk-based travel policy for the COVID-19 epidemic in Scotland: a population-based surveillance study.
BMJ Open
November 2024
Public Health Scotland, Edinburgh, UK
Objectives: We aimed to assess the effects of risk-based travel restrictions on (1) international travel frequency, (2) SARS-CoV-2 case importation risk, (3) national SARS-CoV-2 incidence and (4) importation of SARS-CoV-2 variants into Scotland.
Design: Population-based surveillance study.
Setting: The study utilises SARS-CoV-2 community testing from February 2021 to May 2022 in Scotland, UK and spans the introduction of the UK's 'traffic light system' policy in May 2021.

Unlabelled: Zinc (Zn) is an essential cofactor for numerous bacterial proteins and altering Zn availability is an important component of host innate immunity. During infection, adaptation to both Zn deprivation and excess is critical for pathogenic bacteria development. To understand the adaptive responses to Zn availability of , a pathogen causing invasive infections of neonates, global transcriptional profiling was conducted.

Background: Adolescent physical activity levels are low and are shown to decline with age into adulthood. Emerging literature suggests these trends were exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic. We aimed to understand, from the perspective of adolescents living in deprived communities, whether the Covid-19 pandemic influenced their physical behaviour and explore their ideas for physical activity promotion moving forward.

Article Synopsis
- Disulfidptosis is a newly identified type of programmed cell death that results from disulfide stress, leading to the collapse of the cell's cytoskeleton, particularly in cancer cells with high levels of the protein SLC7A11.
- This process occurs when glucose deprivation causes excessive cystine import, depleting NADPH and increasing disulfide stress, which alters actin dynamics and results in cell death.
- The review emphasizes the importance of understanding the roles of SLC7A11 and its pathways in disulfidptosis, while also pointing out the need for further research to fully uncover how this mechanism affects tumors.
Mechanisms and therapeutic potential of disulphidptosis in cancer.

SLC7A11 plays a pivotal role in tumour development by facilitating cystine import to enhance glutathione synthesis and counteract oxidative stress. Disulphidptosis, an emerging form of cell death observed in cells with high expression of SLC7A11 under glucose deprivation, is regulated through reduction-oxidation reactions and disulphide bond formation. This process leads to contraction and collapse of the F-actin cytoskeleton from the plasma membrane, ultimately resulting in cellular demise.
