The Effects of Life Values Among Non-Psychedelic Drug Users and Psychedelic Drug Users: A Comparison Study on Life Values

Peng, Lin 01 May 2014 (has links)
The intent of this study was to compare life value differences using the Life Values Inventory. Differences among non-psychedelic users and psychedelic users were examined. Participants, ranging from age 18 to 48 from the University of Central Florida (UCF), a large state university, were recruited on a voluntarily basis. This was primarily done through online message board, the Sona System, and classroom announcements. The study was presented through the Sona System provided by UCF. In addition, all participants were students of the university. Results indicated significant differences among three out of 14 life values measured. The three life values that were shown to be significantly different among the non-psychedelic users and psychedelic users were: 1) concern for others, 2) loyalty to family or group, and 3) responsibility. In addition, the life value of spirituality was only found to be marginally significant.

Determinação de opióides em cabelo via eletroforese capilar (CE) / Determination of opiates in hair by capillary electrophores (CE)

Lima, Elizabete Campos de 25 April 2003 (has links)
A análise química para a verificação do uso de drogas de abuso vem sendo requisitada com o objetivo de identificar o usuário para que medidas de prevenção e controle possam ser tomadas uma vez que o seu uso está atingindo indivíduos de variadas faixas etárias e camadas sociais. O cabelo é uma matriz biológica interessante de se trabalhar pois não requer cuidados especiais para seu transporte e armazenamento e além disso é de difícil adulteração. O presente projeto de pesquisa teve como objetivo o desenvolvimento de metodologias analíticas altemativas para a separação de 15 opióides, em cabelo, utilizando a eletroforese capilar (CE). Foi desenvolvida uma metodologia de extração inédita para a digestão das amostras de cabelo utilizando-se a extração em fase sólida com cartucho de fase estacionária trocadora de íons (MCX) os extratos obtidos foram analisados via CE utilizando-se com eletrólito de separação tampão fosfato 20 mmol/l, pH 2,5; injeção eletrocinética da amostra (5 s/5 kV); 25 kV durante a análise; detecção em 200 nm e 25°C de temperatura. As análises foram feitas utilizando-se uma coluna capilar de sílica fundida de 75 &#181;m de diâmetro interno, Lt =47 cm e Lefe =40 cm. A metodologia desenvolvida e, especificamente validada para morfina, foi aplicada a um conjunto de 100 amostras da área clínica (cabelo de 35 pacientes sob medicação a base e de morfina). A validação do método proposto para a determinação de morfina em amostras de cabelo apresentou boa linearidade (R > 0,99), valores de limite de detecção e quantificação da ordem de 0,064 mg/L (ou 0,12 ng de morfina/mg de cabelo) e 0,214 mg/L (ou 0,37 ng morfina/mg de cabelo) respectivamente; com precisão e exatidão adequadas (erro relativo < 20%), valores de recuperação média de 81,19 % e com seletividade apropriada e especificidade única testada para 4 principais interferentes (morfina-3&#946;D-glicuronídeo, nalorfina, clonidina e codeína). O nível de morfina nas amostras de cabelo provenientes dos pacientes selecionados (pacientes do Grupo da Dor do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade de São Paulo - HCFMUSP) variou de 1,3 a 18,4 ng de morfina/mg de cabelo. Além disso, foram otimizadas 2 separações de misturas de opióides um envolvendo os principiais opióides utilizados em clínica médica e outra contendo esses mesmos opiáceos acrescida de seus metabólitos. A primeira mistura de padrões foi separada utilizando-se tampão fosfato 20 mmol/L, pH 2,5. A segunda mistura de padrões foi separada utilizando-se tampão fosfato 60 mmol/L, pH 2,5 contendo 8 mmol/L &#946;-ciclodextrina + 4% metanol. / This work describes a series of studies aiming at the determination of opiates of clinical and forense importance using hair as an alternative biological matrix and capillary electrophoresis (CE) as the technique of choice. Electrolyte compositions were criteriously explored using CE in its diverse modes of operation and the separation of 15 opiates and metabolites (petidine, morphine, tramadol, naloxone, phentanyl citrate, alphentanil HCl, suphentanyl citrate, 6-acetylmorphine, pentazocine, nalorphine, codeine, 6-acetylcodeine, methadone, morphine-3&#946;-D-glucuronide, norphentanyl) was accomplished in less than 14 min using as electrolyte, phosphate buffer 60 mmol/L, pH 2.5 with 8 mmol/L &#946;-ciclodextrine and 8 % methanol in the conditions: inj. 5 s/10 kV, 30 kV during analysis, detection 200nm and 20 &#176;C. Additionally, a comparative evaluation of the strategies for hair extraction and pre-concentration of opiates to contemplate the concentration sensitivity restrains of capillary electrophoresis have been investigated. Recoveries of target analytes (petidine, naloxone, tramadol, fentanyl, alfentanyl and sufentanyl) using liquid-Iiquid extraction and solid-phase extraction employing a variety of solvents and stationary phases were estimated. A novel, simple and reliable strategy for digestion and extraction of morphine in hair was developed based upon acidic hydrolysis (45°C, 12 h) followed by solid-phase extraction in ion-exchange resin cartridges (MCX, Supelco). Recoveries of morphine up to 81.4% were obtained with this procedure. Hair extraets were analyzed via CE using 20 mmol/L phosphate buffer at pH 2.5, electrokinetie injection (5 kV, 5 s), 25 kV applied voltage, detection at 200 nm in a eapillary with dimensions 75 &#181;m i.d., 47 em totallength and 40 em effective length. lhe methodology was validated with respect to precision (CV < 20 %), aecuraey (relative error < 20 %), linearity (r > 0.99), limit of detection and quantifieation, 0.064 mg/L (0.12 ng of morphine per mg of hair) and 0.214 mg/L (0.37 ng of morphine per mg of hair), respectively, with appropriate selectivity and specificity, tested for four major interfering eompounds (morphine-3&#946;D-glucuronide, nalorphine, clonidine and codeine). Hair analyses of over 100 samples from c.a. 35 patients (Grupo da Dor, Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade de São Paulo, HC-FMUSP) suffering from radieular or medullar lesion, receiving morphine by implantable intrathecal systems were eondueted. Levels of morphine in the patients hair was found in the range of 1.3-18.4 ng/mg.

Drogy a činnosti, při nichž by mohl být ohrožen život nebo zdraví nebo poškozen cizí majetek / Drugs and activities that could cause danger to life, health or damage to property

HANDSCHUHOVÁ, Silvie January 2008 (has links)
The objective of this thesis is to summarize the effects of drugs, especially of the cannabinoids and amphetamine type stimulants, and to analyse which of these substances leads to high-risk activities, that could endanger life, health or result in damage to property. One of these activities, an important one, is driving under the influence of drugs. Driving itself is a complex demand, involving perception, decision making, psychomotor skills, knowledge, as well as attitudes and personality characteristics. Substance use and abuse has an impact on the functioning of the brain and mental processes and therefore on the performance of the driving task. Driving under the influence of drugs is a high risk activity which endangers not only the driver but also their surroundings. In the last few years, the Czech Republic registered a rapid increase in the number of impaired drivers, namely at police check points and in car accidents. The young drivers are mostly under influence of marijuana, respectively tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Its negative effect on driving results from impaired co-ordination, slowed complex reaction time and in space and time distortion. The second group of drugs which can impair drivers is amphetamine type stimulants. Amphetamines are frequently sought by truck drivers, especially long-haul drivers, in Western Europe for its stimulative effects. In the Czech Republic the methamphetamine, Pervitin, is much more common. Intoxication is characterized by increased wakefulness, increased physical activity, increased respiration, rapid heart rate and an irregular heartbeat. The risk factors for driving are a lack of concentration and an overestimation of one{\crq}s own capabilities. After the acute phase of intoxication subsides, fatigue or states of narcolepsy may occur. Another amphetamine-based drug is methylenedioxymethamphetamine, MDMA or Ecstasy. This synthetic substance, chemically related to mescaline, is dangerous due to its ability to regulate body temperature. On rare but unpredictable occasions, this can lead to sharp hyperthermia, resulting in liver, kidney and cardiovascular system failure, and death. It can also cause hallucinations. All common drugs are easily detectable with ``drug test-cards{\crqq}, which are used during police checks around the the world. The Czech Republic is currently testing their utilization and is preparing legislation accordingly. Utilization of these tests during random checks could help to decrease the number of fatal road accidents and could help to decrease the number of impaired drivers on the roads.

Introdução: O sofrimento psíquico infanto-juvenil foi historicamente atrelado às limitações cognitivas (idiotia infantil) e à necessidade de ação sobre o abandono e delinquência juvenil e traz em seu bojo práticas de cuidado historicamente segregadoras e médico-científicas moralizantes. A assunção do Estado às práticas de cuidado à infância e adolescência principalmente nos movimentos reformadores da década de 80 no Brasil construção do Sistema Único de Saúde e Reforma Psiquiátrica reivindicou um novo olhar em torno desse cuidado, o que foi concretizado na construção de uma política de cuidado infantojuvenil enredada estrategicamente nos CAPS infantojuvenis, bem como na necessidade dos processos de trabalho que apoiassem práticas interseçoras e relacionais produtoras de usuários sujeitos de direitos nesses estabelecimentos. Objetivo: Evidenciar a relação entre as modalidades de produção de cuidado em saúde mental e os processos de trabalho desenvolvidos em um CAPS ADi. Método: cartografia dos processos de trabalho com profissionais de um CAPS ADi de São Bernardo do Campo - São Paulo e dois usuários do estabelecimento. Utilizou-se a metodologia do caso-traçador na congregação de quatro focos de análise sobre dois casos emblemáticos atendidos no CAPS: observação do cotidiano de trabalho, caracterização, grupos focais com profissionais e entrevistas com dois usuários. Resultados: Os resultados apontaram para uma dinâmica de trabalho bastante complexa e atravessada por questões cotidianas do serviço, bem como por diferentes concepções acerca do cuidado, do que é projeto terapêutico e de como cuidar de adolescentes que trazem histórias sociais tão diversas quanto às suas famílias e situações de vulnerabilidade nas quais o uso abusivo de drogas se faz, por vezes, secundário em relação à demanda vivenciada dia-a-dia. Conclusão: É de suma importância construir espaços de reflexão e autoanálise para que os profissionais possam partilhar e rediscutir os processos de subjetivação gerados a partir de suas ações nos usuários e em si próprios, bem como, resignificar o sentido do cuidado e da existência de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial voltado para crianças e adolescentes que fazem uso abusivo de álcool e drogas / Introduction: The child and youth psychological suffering was historically tied to cognitive deficits and the need for action on child abandonment and juvenile delinquency. They will be cared for the practices historically segregated and medical-scientific moralizing. Nevertheless, the State care practices for childhood and adolescence, the emergence of specific knowledge about child and youth development, and especially the reform movements of the 80s in Brazil the construction of integrated and universal health system, and psychiatric reform - demanded a new point of view around that care, what was achieved later in the construction of a policy of child and youth careful established in Child and Youth Psychosocial Care Centers CAPSi and in need of work processes that supported relational practices intercessors and producing users having rights in these establishments. Objective: It aims to show the relationship between modes of production of mental health care and work processes developed in Child and Youth Psychosocial Care Center to treat drug abuse CAPS ADi. Methods: The work process mapping with professionals and two users of Chlid and Youth CAPS to treat drug abuse at São Bernardo do Campo - São Paulo. We used the methodology of \"case-tracer\" in the congregation of four foci analysis on two emblematic cases seen at CAPS: observation of daily work, characterization and focus groups with professionals and interviews with two users. Results: The results showed a dynamic work quite complex crossed by the everyday issues of service, as well as different conceptions of care, which is the therapeutic project and how to care for adolescents who bring social stories as diverse as their families and vulnerability situations in which drug abuse is done sometimes secondary demand experienced dayto-day. Conclusion: It is extremely important to ensure spaces for reflection so that professionals can share and revisit the processes of subjectivity generated from their actions on users and themselves as well, reframe the meaning of care and the existence of a Psychosocial Center facing children and adolescents who abuse alcohol and drugs

Customize the abuse of drugs reflecting on the childhood and the family s influence of the problem of the children that use drugs, is the main objective of this thesis. Choosing the qualitative method of research, the investigation starts with the reports of the children and mothers assisted at Centro de Refer?ncia e Apoio ? Crian?a e ao Adolescente Usu?rios de Drogas, program of specialized assistance of 1? Vara da Inf?ncia e da Juventude de Natal/RN. The research was done through semi-structured interviews, in a total of six subjects: three children and their respective mothers. Through the reports of the subjects, it is brought theorical reflexions that illustrates their perceptions and conceptions about topics like the usage of drugs, the circumstances the usage of drugs was started, the family s structure and dynamic, the situation on the streets, and other factors that affect the development of a child in her/his environment. It is proved that the usage of drugs in Brazil, problem that has been increasing the number of children affected by, is a multi faceted and complex phenomenon but some factors of social and family risks deserve to be pointed out like the manner of support future actions in the prevention area / O estudo faz uma reflex?o sobre o uso de drogas entre crian?as situando-o como um dos mais graves problemas sociais da atualidade.

The intentionally unseen : exploring the illicit drug use of non-treatment seeking drug users in Scotland

McPhee, Iain January 2012 (has links)
There is a perception that drug use is a serious and growing problem to be solved by medicine, social work and drug enforcement agencies. This thesis takes a critical standpoint again such populist views and interprets drug use as one of any number of normal activities that people engage. This qualitative research utilising a bricoleur ethnographic methodology focuses on the drug taking of non-treatment seeking illegal drug users. The data reveals that they manage several social identities and the potential stigma of being discovered as an illicit user of illegal drugs utilising several strategies to remain intentionally unseen. The thesis explores how and in what way socially competent drug users differ from visible treatment seeking drug users. In order to develop this understanding, several gatekeepers were identified and within their social networks the participants were recruited into this research. The participants (n=24) were recruited from a wide range of age groups (21-52) and geographical locations within Scotland. One to one interviews, a focus group, and several pair bonded partners were interviewed together providing rich sources of data. Interviews were transcribed and analysed thematically from a social constructionist perspective. The findings illuminate the ways in which the intentionally unseen identify and manage risks from drugs, drugs policy and the potential shame and stigma were their hidden social worlds revealed. The practical implications of the results of this thesis are explored and recommendations for future research are discussed.
