Internet and Health Information Technology Use and Psychological Distress Among Older Adults With Self-Reported Vision Impairment: Case-Control Study
Authors: Choi Namkee G , DiNitto Diana M , Lee Othelia EunKyoung , Choi Bryan Y 
Published: March 2020

Background
The number of older adults with vision impairment (VI) is growing. As health care services increasingly call for patients to use technology, it is important to examine internet/health information technology (HIT) use among older adults with VI.

Objective
This study aimed to examine (1) the rates of internet/HIT use among older adults with VI compared with a matched sample of their peers without VI, (2) associations of VI with internet/HIT use, and (3) association of HIT use with psychological distress, assessed with the Kessler-6 screen.

Methods
Data were obtained from the 2013 to 2018 US National Health Interview Survey. Older adults (aged ≥65 years) with self-reported VI were matched with older adults without VI, in a 1:1 ratio, based on age, sex, number of chronic medical conditions, and functional limitations (N=2866). Descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression models, with sociodemographic factors, health conditions, health insurance type, and health care service use as covariates, were used to examine the research questions.

Results
In total, 3.28% of older adults (compared with 0.84% of those aged 18-64 years) reported VI, and 25.7% of them were aged ≥85 years. Those with VI were significantly more socioeconomically disadvantaged than those without VI and less likely to use the internet (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.64, 95% CI0.49-0.83) and HIT (aOR 0.74, 95% CI 0.56-0.97). However, among internet users, VI was not associated with HIT use. HIT use was associated with lower odds of mild/moderate or serious psychological distress (aOR 0.62, 95% CI 0.43-0.90), whereas VI was associated with greater odds of mild/moderate or serious distress (aOR 1.84, 95% CI 1.36-2.49). Health care provider contacts were also associated with higher odds of internet or HIT use.

Conclusions
Compared with their matched age peers without VI, older adults with VI are less likely to use HIT because they are less likely to use the internet. Socioeconomically disadvantaged older adults experiencing a digital divide need help to access information and communication technologies through a fee waiver or subsidy to cover internet equipment and subscription and ensure continuous connectivity. Older adults with VI who do not know how to use the internet/HIT but want to learn should be provided instruction, with special attention to accessibility features and adaptive devices. Older adults with a low income also need better access to preventive eye care and treatment of VI as well as other health care services.

O presente artigo propõe apresentar a frequência de utilização do inquérito policial enquanto parte da fundamentação de sentenças judiciais provenientes das Varas Criminais Residuais da cidade de Maceió - Alagoas, a fim de desvelar o funcionamento inquisitório e, portanto, antidemocrático, do devido processo penal. Partindo de uma pergunta-problema de cariz empírico, qual seja, “o inquérito policial é utilizado na fundamentação de sentenças judiciais?”, foram adotadas técnicas metodológicas também empíricas: a análise de fluxo do sistema de justiça criminal e a utilização de um instrumento quali-quanti. Para tanto, o desenvolvimento da pesquisa em questão fora dividido em três principais momentos, a saber: a delimitação do objeto, a coleta de dados e, por fim, a análise dos dados coletados. Após tal investigação, restou demonstrada a efetiva utilização dos elementos informativos na fundamentação das sentenças, visto que em 80,6% dos casos, (correspondente a 369 processos) o magistrado se utilizou expressamentede algum elemento informativo produzido durante as investigações preliminares, sendo, deste total, cerca de 91% (336) dos processos referentes a sentenças condenatórias. Assim sendo, conflui-se para a confirmação dos problemas que permeiam o art. 155 do Código de Processo Penal, quando inseridos num sistema de teor essencialmente inquisitório.
Achieving Defense by Means of Forensic Science During the Criminal Proceedings in Romania
Authors: Magherescu Delia 
Published: March 2020

The function of defense during the criminal proceedings in Romania is the result of traditional separation of the three procedural functions of accusation, judgement and defense. Exceeding the barriers of the contradictory principles the penal procedure in Romania features, the investigation bodies are interested in finding truth in penal cases and solving them legally and substantially. Both constitutive parts are achieved in criminal proceedings based on genuine evidence gathered legally from the crime scene. The current paper aims to identify elements which contribute to achieving the function of defense during the criminal proceedings in Romania by approaching and implementing tools and scientific techniques provided by forensic science. In reaching the study's proposed objectives, a mixed research methodology has been used consisting of qualitative methods.
