Abstract

Epoxy resins are finding increasing use in a wide variety of industrial processes since they offer a combination of desirable properties which are probably not found simultaneously in most other resinous or plastics systems. At the same time, formulation of epoxy compositions can be very versatile bearing in mind the wide choice of both resin types and hardeners; these choices may be made to provide compositions with specially required properties such as hardness, flexibility, heat resistance, good ageing characteristics, etc.

Abstract

Numerous materials used in the building industry come under the category of alkaline structures, such as concrete, cement, plasters and, to some extent, brickwork. All these materials are very often regarded as being of an extremely permanent nature and only under special conditions are they considered to suffer corrosion. Where attack is likely to be severe they are naturally rejected as constructional materials, but in many other cases attack is sufficiently slow to be apparently ignored. Ultimately this slow attack results in a state of off airs which can only be rectified by the costly practice of reconstruction.

Abstract

In order to reflect the increasing influence of the drum industry on British packaging, the Association of Steel Drum Manufacturers has decided to broaden its sphere of activities: it will now represent the interests of manufacturers of plastics drums. As a result the new title is The Association of Drum Manufacturers. The ADM will also represent the interests of its members on such subjects as UK and EEC legislation, and on national and international packaging standards. The offices will remain at 115 High St., Godalming, GU7 1AQ, Surrey.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examined the often minimized relationship between child sexual abuse and the body and asked: How, and by what means, is the body experienced by children after sexual abuse? The purpose of this work is to present children's interpretations of embodiment in their own words.

Methodology – Data include 10 years of semi-structured videotaped forensic interviews of children and youth seen for reported cases of sexual abuse. Utilizing an analytic-inductive method, children's verbal reports of sexual abuse were examined from a symbolic interactionist perspective in terms of re/productions of the body.

Findings – Discourse analyses revealed how children evaluated the body and negotiated related emotions. Youth ascribed meaning to the body as both materiality and social interaction. The body was experienced as object and somatic presence, as a marked or stigmatized body, and as a means of control and resistance. Through their own words, youth revealed how violence draws attention to embodiment, power, and subjectivity.

Value – Despite increased public and policy attention, limited research has explored how children describe their experiences of sexual abuse. This study addresses this serious gap in the literature by approaching the sexually abused body as a critical site of social meaning and social order. Of significant import, this work brings children's voices to the forefront; it shows how youth actively negotiate embodiment and expands work with child participants. It will be of value to practitioners working with children and to scholars in the fields of sexual victimization, sociology of the body and children/childhood.
