Mental health disorders (MHDs) among refugees has been recognized as a major public health issue. However, to date, there is limited evidence on the prevalence of MHDs among Rohingya refugees in Malaysia. This study aimed to examine the prevalence and associated factors of major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among Rohingya refugees in Malaysia. A total of 220 refugees were randomly selected to participate in this cross-sectional study, conducted from June 2019 to November 2019. Perceived social support, religious orientation, food security, and sociodemographic characteristics were assessed as independent variables. The dependent variables assessed were MDD, GAD, and PTSD. The prevalence of GAD, PTSD, and MDD was reported at 92 (41.8%), 84 (38.2%), and 71 (32.3%). Several factors were significantly associated with MDD following multivariate analysis such as perceived low to moderate social support (AOR = 2.17; 95% CI 1.13, 4.19) and food insecurity (AOR = 2.77; 95% CI 1.19, 6.47). Exposure to violence (AOR = 38.46; 95% CI 16.27, 90.91) and food insecurity (AOR = 3.74; 95% CI 1.41, 9.91) were significantly associated with PTSD. Addressing these risk factors could be key in improving mental health outcomes among this vulnerable population.

“…Z hlediska teoretických přístupů u problematiky vězeňského násilí je vlivná teorie vězeňské subkultury, která předpokládá, ţe násilí je časté tam, kde je skupinou povaţováno za hodnotu a kde jeho uplatnění vede v určitých situacích ke zvýšení statusu jedince, klade důraz na maskulinitu, nepoddajnost, hrdost, odpor a revoltu (Kamaluddin et al 2016). Především muţské věznice jsou povaţovány za maskulinní prostředí, kde je bodybuilding (posilování, zvyšování muskulatury) do jisté míry součástí vyplnění volného času odsouzených.…”

Violence and the Formation of Social Statuses in the Prison Subculture. The text focuses on the relationship between aggression and the formation of social status in prisoners in selected prison with maximum security. The article is based on a sociological survey conducted from February to April 2022. A questionnaire survey among convicted men, classified as a prison with medium and high grade security, addresses the perception of risk of conflicts between prisoners, especially in terms of age differences and number of incarcerations. Methodologically, the text takes the form of a case study, mainly due to the complexity of obtaining valid data from convicted criminals. The main goal is to evaluate the level of threat to the life and health of prisoners and prison staff in the real environment. The article deals with the manifestations of aggressive behavior in the execution of the sentence and their reflection by prisoners. Part of the text does not cover only the typology of individual manifestations of the so-called prison violence, but also the presentation of diagnostics and monitoring of these excesses by the Prison Service of the Czech Republic.

Anti-corruption education is important in curbing corruption behavior. However, there is limited evidence about what should be designed into the anti-corruption curriculum for young people. Hence, this study intends to make suggestions about the development of anticorruption education in Malaysia based on Theory of Social Representation. A survey to explore young people's lay representation toward corruption was carried out. 232 respondents between 18 to 33 years old (M=19.79, SD=2.65) participated in this crosssectional survey performed in Malays Language and translated into English for report purposes. The lay representation of the terms "corruption" was obtained using the free association and the rank-frequency technique. The result suggests five important considerations for the development of anti-corruption education: (1) educate people about the concept of corruption that includes not only money exchange; (2) continue to provide examples of integrity and legal practices in politics; (3) educate people about all types of corruption, (4) emphasize that corruption is not acceptable regardless of any situation or circumstances and ( 5) educate people about the effects of corruption. This suggestion could be used by the government, stakeholders, schools, and non-profit organizations who are interested in educating the public or creating anti-corruption awareness among young people in Malaysia.
