Risk factors for sexual victimization (alcohol consumption, casual sex, and ambiguous communication) in participants' cognitive scripts for consensual sex were linked to sexual victimization via their translation into risky sexual behavior. Pornography use was indirectly linked to sexual victimization through its influence on risky sexual scripts and sexual behavior. Child sexual abuse predicted sexual victimization in the cross-sectional analysis, and victimization since age 14 predicted revictimization in the six months covered by the prospective period. Few gender differences were found. This study is the first prospective investigation of vulnerability factors for sexual victimization in Brazil, and similarities to evidence from North America are discussed.}, language = {en} } @article{deAraujoBronstert2016, author = {de Araujo, Jose Carlos and Bronstert, Axel}, title = {A method to assess hydrological drought in semi-arid environments and its application to the Jaguaribe River basin, Brazil}, series = {Water International}, volume = {41}, journal = {Water International}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {0250-8060}, doi = {10.1080/02508060.2015.1113077}, pages = {213 -- 230}, year = {2016}, abstract = {This manuscript proposes a method to assess hydrological drought in semi-arid environments under high impoundment rate and applies it to the semi-arid Jaguaribe River basin in Brazil. It analyzes droughts (1) in the largest reservoir systems; (2) in the Upper Basin, considering 4744 reservoirs, 800 wells and almost 18,000 cisterns; and (3) in reservoirs of different sizes during multiyear droughts. Results show that the water demand is constrained in the basin; hydrological and meteorological droughts are often out of phase; there is a negative correlation between storage level and drought severity; and the small systems cannot cope with long-term droughts.}, language = {en} }
