RESUMO
From a case report of a person with pedophilic disorder, this paper focuses on the issue of pedophilia, child sexual abuse, and the need for specific prevention and treatment strategies in Brazil. It seems inevitable to increase awareness for this topic within the mental health care system to protect children and reduce the risk for sexual offense in individuals at-risk. This is a case report of an individual, known by medical-psychiatric and forensic facilities for a past history of patricide, who revealed his pedophilic fantasies and behavior belatedly. To assess a pedophilic disorder and screen for other paraphilic contents, a screening questionnaire and clinical interview were used during the patient hospitalization in 2020 for a proper evaluation of sexual history and past offending behaviors. A review of the literature on pedophilia prevention programs was also carried out. WW is a middle-aged man admitted to a psychiatric unit for a severe episode of major depressive disorder and at risk of suicide. During recovery, he reported pedophilic fantasies and behaviors in his life. Sexual fantasies involving children and actual sexual offenses have remained unknown to mental health professionals and unreported to legal authorities. WW's case alarmingly emphasizes the need for the training of health care professionals and for preventive strategies in Brazil for those who are at risk of engaging in offending sexual behaviors in a combined and intensive effort to protect children from sexual offense.
RESUMO
Correction for '(TeCl)4(TiCl4) with isolated Te4Cl16 and TiCl4 molecules and second-harmonic-generation' by Maxime A. Bonnin et al., Dalton Trans., 2024, 53, 4962-4967, https://doi.org/10.1039/D4DT00284A.
RESUMO
(TeCl4)4(TiCl4) is obtained by reaction of TeCl4 and TiCl4 at 50 °C with quantitative yield. The compound is composed of isolated, molecular (TeCl4)4 heterocubane-type units as well as isolated, molecular TiCl4 tetrahedra. The (TeCl4)4 heterocubane is arranged like a body-centred cubic cell with TiCl4 tetrahedra occupying 4 of 6 octahedral sites. (TeCl4)4(TiCl4) crystallizes in the space group I4Ì with an unidirectional alignment of the tetrahedral building units. The structure of the compound is obtained from single crystal X-ray diffraction and confirmed by Rietveld refinement of powder diffraction data. Thermogravimetry, optical spectroscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy are employed to further characterize the title compound. Second harmonic generation (SHG) is observed with a strong intensity (1.6-times higher than potassium dihydrogen phosphate/KDP). The SHG effect is observed in the visible spectral regime as the band gap, derived from a Tauc plot, is 2.8 eV.
