Over the past decade, radicalisation has occurred as perhaps the most persistent conceptual framework for understanding micro-level modifications towards violence. Violent extremism and terrorism could be argued to be a function of society –as much as it is a reality of extremist groups or individuals who engage in violence due to ideological motivations. Radicalizing by evolving or embracing extremist beliefs that justify violence is one possible pathway into terrorism involvement, but it is certainly not the only one. Informed policies and practices to mitigate and prevent the spread of violent extremism require an understanding of these kinds of variations, not just general trends. The analysis of narratives used by the current radical and violent extremist groups’ shows that socio-economic, political and personal grievances are effectively used to sway public opinion, disseminate messages, gain new recruits, and elicit sympathy. These narratives are generally merged with characteristic terms imbedded in issues of political instability, socio-economic stagnation, civic strife, and, in some cases, war. The purpose of this paper is to clearly understand the relationship between these terms, so that the prevention of violence and/or the threat of violence can be more successful.

Among the numerous causes of conflicts in today’s security environment, conflicts over various values occupy an important place in the security agenda. Experience and researches so far, show that these conflicts initiate a different, very sensitive way of reacting between the conflicting parties. This, in turn imposes a necessity of comprehensive as well as cautious approach in their management and resolution. Given the fact that the value system is being formed throughout life, both through broader cultural and social influences and through our own experience, the paper explores the role of identity in conflicts over various values. Specifically, the research focus is based on the analysis of situations, reasons and ways in which identity can be a cause or trigger for the emergence or escalation of the so-called identity-based conflict. In this context, the paper specifically explores the impact and role that identity can play at different stages in conflicts over various values, with a particular focus on conflicts with ethnic-identity characteristics.

Obstetric Violence (OV) refers to several types of violence and damage committed by health professionals in perinatal care. This work aimed to analyze the main forms of obstetric violence suffered by women in Latin America. This is an integrative review, carried out in November 2019, at the Virtual Health Library (VHL) in the MEDLINE, LILACS, and Index Psi. Periodicals databases; research was still carried out at SciELO. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 17 articles were selected. It was found that OV presents itself as a violence that is both gender and institutional. And it occurs in different ways, being 6 categories observed. In this violence there is the objectification of the woman's body and the impossibility of manifesting her autonomy. OV is still little discussed and recognize as such, both by victims and by those who practice it. Therefore, a greater debate about this violence is necessary in order to put in practice a humanized perinatal care, which respects the rights of women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to determine the awareness levels of the young people regarding the practices concerning the elimination of violence against women in Turkey. In this research, descriptive survey method was used. 68% of the nursing students stated that they have witnessed violence while 15.5% stated that they have been exposed to violence. Most common type of violence resorted to is physical violence. The ratio of male students who declared to have been exposed to violence is higher than that of female students (p<0.001). The percentage of students who are aware of the practices and projects to combat violence against women in Turkey is 66.9%. In terms of the awareness about the practices and projects, ratios of female students are higher than male students and the difference in between is statistically significant (p<0.05). Most widely known practices and projects are "ALO 183 line", "Family Counseling Centers" and "Child not Brides Projects". There was not any difference between the first and fourth-year students in terms of the awareness about the practices and projects (p>0.05). Students consider the civil society organizations as the most effective structure in raising awareness about the prevention of violence against women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
