Another effect of this stigma is isolation.The stigmas of homelessness can thus be divided into three major categories in general: (1) attributing homelessness to personal incompetency and health conditions (e.g., unemployment, mental health issues, substance abuse, etc. ); (2) seeing homeless people as posing threats to ones personal safety; and (3) de-sanitizing homeless people (i.e., seeing them as pathogens). Past research has shown that those types of stigmas are being reinforced through the fact that one is homeless and have a negative impact on effective public policymaking in terms of reducing homelessness. When a person lives on a street, many aspects of their personal situations, such as mental health issues and alcoholism, are more likely to be exposed to the public as compared to people who are not homeless and have access to resources that will help improve their personal crises. Such lack of privacy inevitably reinforces stigma by increasing observations of stereotypes for the public. Furthermore, media often attributes those personal crises to the direct cause of crimes, further leading the public to believe that homeless people are a threat to their personal safety. Many also believe that contacts with homeless people increase their chance of contracting diseases given that they lack access to stable, sanitary living conditions. Those types of stigmas are intertwined with each other when shaping public opinions on policies related to the homeless population, resulting in many ineffective policies that do not reduce homelessness at all.
A lobulation is an appearance resembling lobules. For instance, the thyroid gland may become large and lobulated in Hashimotos thyroiditis.Fetal lobulation, also known as fetal lobation, of the kidney is evident on scanning. Fetal lobation is a normal stage in the development of the kidney. In the adult a normal anatomic variant is that of persistent fetal lobulation of the kidney that may be mistaken for a tumour.
