• Current Research

  • The US Federal government has raised concerns about this issue and various reports have found that colleges and universities are not addressing sexual violence as they should.For instance, many universities fail to investigate allegations of sexual assaults, they fail to encourage victims to report sexual assaults, they fail to provide adequate sexual assault training, and there are inadequate resources for the survivors of sexual assault.
  • The figure below suggests that sexual assaults are relatively rare on college campuses.
  • However, fewer than 5% of people raped on college campuses report their sexual assault to law enforcement, which suggests the numbers in the figure may be substantially higher than the figure reports.
  • Further, official figures like the one below limit their reporting to "forcible sexual assault" despite mounting evidence that the vast majority of sexual assaults on college campuses do not fit this narrow definition, and typically involve more subtle forms of sexual violence and coercion.
  • In fact, in-depth analyses of sexual violence on college campuses generally reveals that sexual assault has become a normal aspect of college experience, culture, and structure for many American women, that on average 1 in 5 college women will be sexually victimized in some way during their college careers, and that common forms of college leisure activity, such as Greek, Party, and Drinking cultures and habits on campuses, often facilitate the normalization of college sexual assault.

• Bursitis

  • Moreover, movement of tendons and muscles over the inflamed bursa aggravate inflammation, perpetuating the problem.

• Pulled Groin

  • Treating a groin pull is relatively simple, and includes resting the muscle (and refraining from any activity that aggravates the injury), applying ice or heat as needed, gentle stretching of the area, and if needed, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to help relieve the pain.

• Pressure Ulcers

  • Once a bedsore is found, pressure should immediately be lifted from the area and the patient turned at least every two hours to avoid aggravating the wound.

• Compromised Host

  • They are aggravated by the reduced resistance of individual patients.

• Immunoassays for Disease

  • If the inflammation remains aggravated, antibody-mediated immune reaction is activated and different types of immune cells are engaged to resolve the disease.

• The Greenhouse Effect

  • Recall the causes of global warming and how humans have aggravated the phenomenon.

• The Battle of New Orleans

  • In the early morning of January 8, General Edward Pakenham ordered a two-pronged assault against Andrew Jackson's position near the city of New Orleans.
  • Thornton's west bank assault force through deep mud, and left the force starting off just before daybreak, 12 hours late.
  • Possibly because of Thornton's delay in crossing the river and the withering artillery fire that might hit them from across the river, the 93rd Highlanders were ordered to leave Keane's assault column advancing along the river and move across the open field to join the main force on the right of the field.
  • The 95th Rifles had advanced in open skirmish order ahead of the main assault force and were concealed in the ditch below the parapet, unable to advance further without support.
  • The two large main assaults on the American position were repulsed.
