Radio InquilabEp 22 - Colonial Collateral GBV - Global Dev 4 Pal Colonialism is a major driver of gender-based violence (GBV) today. Former colonies often experience higher rates of intimate partner violence.

But can the way we assess outcomes be improved?
In this episode we learn about the “any” versus “no” metric we often use in our field to measure outcomes - and the limitations of this binary approach. We discover new, more nuanced measurements that can be used to paint a more complete picture about the effectiveness of interventions. And we learn just how dramatically our understanding of impact can change by simply...2023-06-2031 minThe Sexual Violence Research PodcastS2E10 The Role Of Climate Change In Violence Against WomenThe United Nations estimates 80% of people displaced by climate change are women, putting them at greater risk of violence, including sexual violence.

In this episode, we hear about some of the projects that have contributed to building evidence in this area, and consider what we can learn from them. We also discuss some of the challenges facing researchers in this field.2022-11-0130 minThe Sexual Violence Research PodcastS2E2 Practise-Based KnowledgeThere are many methods of gathering research, data and evidence in the work we do to end violence against women and violence against girls. One of those approaches is practice-based knowledge which considers the cumulative learning acquired by practitioners over many years, specifically through hands-on action.
In this episode, we learn more about what practise-based knowledge is, why it’s so important in the efforts to improve our prevention programming and how it helps tell a more inclusive story about addressing Violence Against Women.

The Sexual Violence Research PodcastS1E12 How To Conduct Research on Violence Against Women EthicallyEthics must be considered ahead of any research which addresses violence against women. Safety is of paramount importance when working with vulnerable women, many of whom may have experienced violence or indeed may still be experiencing violence. All researchers in this space have an absolute duty of care to these women.
In this episode we learn about some of the critical components of designing an ethical research programme. We find out about the unique risks and challenges faced in this field of research, and how to address them. And we discover how research is evolving and adapting...2022-05-3142 minThe Sexual Violence Research PodcastS1E11 Decolonising Knowledge and Funding in the VAW fieldDecolonising knowledge production in the field of violence against women is about empowerment. Instead of allowing Western ideals to dominate knowledge production, we must refocus our attention on the lived experiences of those who are most affected by violence, and whose expertise is often ignored, as we search for solutions.
In this episode we learn about the connection between practise based knowledge and decolonisation, and how the two concepts can improve violence prevention programmes and outcomes. We find out how legal experts can play a part in ensuring the full inclusion of those with first-hand experience and...2022-05-1739 minThe Sexual Violence Research PodcastS1E10 How to Conduct Research with Children EthicallyResearching violence against children is an incredibly important, yet ethically challenging task.

So, when assessing what works to end violence against women and violence against girls, how can we ensure research sparks action?
This is called research uptake, or research for impact, and is a process that’s too often neglected. Despite its undeniable importance, it's often poorly funded, difficult to measure and there’s little guidance on how to achieve it.
In this episode we find out how to address these issues, and discover why it needs to be made a top priority in all research proj...2022-03-2232 minThe Sexual Violence Research PodcastS1E7 What Is The Evidence Telling Us?Throughout this podcast we’ve heard about many incredible programmes that have been taking place globally to prevent violence against women and violence against girls.

To ensure the effectiveness of our mental health interventions post violence we need an intersectional understanding of the multiple manifestations of trauma. Whilst the diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder provides a framework to understand the process of trauma in survivors of sexual violence, to develop truly effective treatments, we also need to look at complex trauma. In this episode we find out what complex trauma is and why it’s so important we understand it, we learn about the mental health symptoms that stem from sexual vi...2022-02-0130 minThe Sexual Violence Research PodcastS1E4 Ethical Funding in VAW prevention and responseVery little funding is dedicated to understanding what works to prevent violence against women and how to strengthen responses for survivors. And when research is funded, it’s often fragmented, project based, and short term. In order to address these issues, the SVRI has developed guidance on ethical funding - funding that is equitable, and gives everyone the opportunity to have their voices heard. In this episode learn about the four key principles of ethical funding, discover the essential role of adopting a feminist approach when tackling power imbalances in this matter, and find out what ethical funding means fr...2022-01-1831 minThe Sexual Violence Research PodcastS1E3 Global Shared Research AgendaFunding in the field of violence prevention is often misdirected, with research agendas set by people far removed from the communities the research is meant to serve.

The GSRA is a collaborative effort, facilitated by the SVRI and Equality Institute, with support from funding partners Wellspring Philanthropic Fund and Sida. The GSRA has brought together a diversity of voices, and in this episode we fi...2021-12-0731 minThe Sexual Violence Research PodcastS1E2 Starting YoungChildren who are exposed to violence are more likely to become perpetrators or victims as adults.

Medizinische Fakultät - Digitale Hochschulschriften der LMU - Teil 19/19Volumentherapie mit Albumin und Hydroxyethylstärke bei Patienten mit radikaler ZystektomieIntraoperative Blutverluste können durch intravasale Flüssigkeitszufuhr kompensiert werden, wobei sowohl die Art der Infusion als auch die Menge von entscheidender Bedeutung für eine stabile Hämodynamik sind und somit das Outcome großer abdomineller Eingriffe maßgeblich beeinflussen. Des Weiteren können Katecholamine zur Aufrechterhaltung einer suffizienten Blutversorgung beitragen. Nach der ersten Anwendung weckten Katecholamine große Hoffnungen das Outcome nach Operationen deutlich zu verbessern. Bald zeigten sich jedoch insbesondere bei hohen Dosierungen Nebenwirkungen (z.B. Reduktion der Organperfusion), was zu einem Umdenken führte. „In doubt give volume“ war ein weit verbreitetes Motto, das diesem Umdenken Ausdruck verl...2016-03-1000 min
