A Practice-Oriented Approach to the Typology of School Maladjustment
Authors: Katunova V.V.
Published: November 2019

The article provides a generalized overview of the directions and forms of adaptation disorders to schooling. This subject is currently highly relevant due to the modern integration of the interests of psychology, pedagogy, physiology and medicine, and has modern practical orientation of scientific psychology in this area. A significant problem is the unification of the methodological approach to the identification of types of school maladjustment. On the basis of the results of leading research presented in modern foreign literature, an attempt is made to classify areas and forms of school maladjustment. The types of violations by the leading maladaptive factor, by the forms and duration of their manifestation are identified. This typology may be useful to scholars and practitioners of various directions in the methodological plan for the analysis of school maladjustment.
Object working memory load and perceptual similarity in visual search for multiple targets
Authors: Kozlov K.S. , Gorbunova E.S.
Published: November 2019

Subsequent search misses can occur during visual search for several targets. SSM is a decrease in accuracy at finding a second target after successful detection of a first one. Two experiments investigated the effect of object working memory load, target stimuli similarity and the similarity of stimuli in visual search task and working memory tasks on the SSM. It was found that targets perceptual similarity is significant, as well as memory load in case of working memory task and visual search task stimuli similarity. In addition, we found a significant interaction between working memory load and number of shared features between two target stimuli, which may indicate a common mechanism underlying the role of working memory load and perceptual similarity factors.
The spontaneous tool use by raven in a zoo
Authors: Vancatova M.A. , Klima T.
Published: November 2019

Ravens are known for their ability to use tools, both in captivity and in natural conditions. This activity is connected mainly to nourishment-related or aggressive behaviour. At Košice Zoo, we carried out an observation of raven tool use behaviour, with the observation focused on contact with a human, that can be interpreted as social behaviour within the context of interspecies communication. In all observed cases (54) of raven tool use, this type of behaviour only manifested itself in an adult male. The raven was inclined to mostly choose longer tools for an attack. In roughly the same measure, the raven uses a new tool, or uses the same tool repeatedly. Concerning the working of the tool, a tool that has not been worked on predominates significantly in this case. In the case of working the tool, the male raven nibbles or shortens the sticks with his beak. A human in and of himself does not represent danger to ravens in a zoo, because the birds are in daily contact with zookeepers. In the given situation, it seems that male raven was aiming to establish contact with a visitor. The entire situation is more reminiscent of a game, rather than the protection of the nest. The whole situation of using the tool was spontaneous and in no case was prepared in advance or otherwise induced experimentally.
Psychological self-regulation as factor of success in the management of own behavior in different life domains
Authors: Rasskazova E.I.
Published: November 2019

Paper is devoted to psychological self-regulation at different stages of behavior change, according to the trans-theoretical model. It was assumed that psychological factors of self-regulation are differently related to the subjective success of achieving goals, depending on the life domain and the stage of change. 127 students set goals for the next 2.5 months (study / work, communication, hobbies, health), evaluated them on the Likert scale, filled the Volitional Components Inventory, Goal Disengagement and Reengagement Scale, and a number of methods for psychological well-being. In the domains of study, communication and health, a high level of self-regulation and volitional abilities was typical for pre-contemplation and action stages, and the high cognitive control was found for the pre-contemplation and preparation stages. Satisfaction and emotional state were not associated with the desire for change. In the domain of study subjective success after 2.5 months was associated with the ability to concentrate and disengage the goal, and in the domains of communication and health — with self-determination and self-motivation. The results indicate the importance of taking into account the life domain and stage of change in studies of the psychological regulation of activity.
Are the asymmetries of the orthostatic posture random?
Authors: GAGEY P.-M. , ASSELAIN B. , USHIO N. , LECONTE M. , BARON J.B.
Published: November 2019

Three posture asymmetries and their connections were assessed by a statistical study as rigorous as possible on the subjects of a sample from a population considered as normal after negative criteria. The comparison of probabilities observed with random probabilities shows that there is less than one chance in a thousand to make an error by rejecting the hypothesis that the asymmetries of the orthostatic posture are random. The definition of the limits of these asymmetries thus fits in the search for the conditions of a clinical examination of the posture.

Diagnosis of chronic liver diseases in elderly patients has its own features due to polymorbidity, multiple organ failure, being subtle the course of the disease.

The purpose of the study was to identify correlations of inflammation biochemical parameters and hepatocellular failure with histology in chronic hepatitis (CH) and liver cirrhosis (LC) in elderly patients.

Materials and methods. The study included medical records of patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) who died in the Clinical Hospital for War Veterans of Saint Petersburg between 2009 and 2015 (with the average age of 81 year). The diagnosis of chronic hepatitis (45 cases) and chronic cirrhosis (54 cases) was confirmed by postmortem examination. Morphological changes in the liver were described according to Knodell creteria. The degree of inflammatory activity in the liver was evaluated in points (0.1 to 3.0) depending on the level of AST, ALT, -globulin, alkaline phosphatase, -GTP, bilirubin. For similar scoring severity hepatocellular insufficiency (0.13.0) considered total protein, albumin, prothrombin index, fibrinogen. For cirrhotic patients the Child-Pugh criteria were also used.

Results. Chronic liver disease (CLD) hepatitis and cirrhosis of the elderly is detected in 1,5% of cases. In most cases, CLD develop secondary to diseases of the cardiovascular system, and are accompanied by subtle symptoms, which limits their life-time diagnosis. The integral evaluation of the process activity degree according to biochemical indices was significantly higher in the group of chronic hepatitis than in the group of liver cirrhosis. Correlations of the inflammation bichemical parameters (AST and / or ALT, -globulin, alkaline phosphatase, -GTP) having a degree of Knodell Histological Activity Group chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis have not been established. The study established correlation of histological activity with total bilirubin levels in both groups of CLD. Integral assessment of hepatocellular deficiency by biochemical indicators of liver cirrhosis group was higher than in the group of chronic hepatitis.

Published: November 2019

Introduction. Technical regulation is the main tool for ensuring safety at all stages of the life cycle of an object (build­ing, structure). Currently, the provisions of regulatory documents governing fire risk calculations need to be updated and clarified. Independent risk assessment and baseline data for calculating risk. The planning of inspections by the super­visory authorities of the Emercom of Russia is carried out depending on the frequency category assigned to the object of protection with the frequency appropriate for this category. The calculation of the fire risk assessment is subject to verification by an official of the state fire supervision authority exclusively within the framework of a scheduled (unscheduled) inspection in accordance with paragraph 63 of the Administrative Regulation, namely, verification of the source data used in calculating the risk. Departmental norms and recommendations provide a standard basis (report structure) based on risk assessment, which takes into account various requirements for modern design and reflects the requirements of the law on discrimination on the basis of disability in relation to the principles of inclusive design. At the same time, it should be emphasized that the above departmental norms and recommendations, despite their practical significance, do not reflect the issue of source data for practical ­purposes and cannot serve the tasks posed by modernity. Conclusion. The peculiarity of the calculations consists primarily in the need to submit those to a specific capital construction object, using the source data, which will allow the calculation to be carried out correctly and allow the Ministry of Emergency Situations inspector to verify the calculation. The issue of specifying the initial data in fire risk calculations, which are used more than once at various protection facilities, seems appropriate to be ­re­flected in the relevant regulatory documents, which will greatly contribute to improving the actual safety of people and the correct calculation.
Made for China: Localizations of International Architecture in China, 2001-2018
Authors: Parker Ben
Published: November 2019

To date, the story of architectural production in 21st century China has focused on institutions and actors in an ever-globalizing system of practice [1–4]. This worthy approach nevertheless obscures opposite yet equally signiﬁcant trends, namely the localization of architectural products. Architectural practices are indeed becoming moreglobal,andyettheirworkis—withnotableexceptions—morefrequentlyconvicted of a necessity for localization, such that two buildings designed by an American ﬁrm, one in California and the other in Shanghai, should not be indistinguishable from each other. Thus, a more complete telling of this story demands an investigation of how the local and the national are represented materially in work that is, structurally, international. Through a close reading of several iconic buildings in China designed by international architects, this contribution proposes a framework for categorizing localization strategies. In addition, it investigates the origins of the localization imperative both in general and speciﬁc to China. These ﬁndings amplify architecture’s cross-cultural vocabulary and improve the ability of architectural practices to consider the cultural sited-ness of their work not only in China but around the world.
Architects and Global Marketing – Buying and Selling in China
Authors: Di Yang
Published: November 2019

This essay will discuss the phenomenon of world-famous architects in the neoliberal age and their propagation within the Chinese market, focusing on the practice of Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). This essay seeks to examine the mechanisms behind BIG’s global stardom. It outlines BIG’s rise to fame and entry into the Chinese architectural market. Taking the case of the Danish Pavilion, it then analyses speciﬁc marketing strategies BIG have adopted in advertising the Pavilion to Chinese audiences. It then discusses China’s peculiar market condition and extrapolates BIG’s common strategies for brand building. The essay argues that BIG’s success is underpinned by the use of visual communication for self-promotion, which appeals to wider audiences. Their success is also a testimony of pervasive consumerism. However, the Danish Pavilion does relate to history, culture, or society. The phenomenon of BIG’s architectural stardom is also worrying for the architecture industry and education, which remains historically embedded in the notion of the singular author and egocentrism.
Regional Design Attempts of China-aid Stadiums
Authors: Chang Wei , Q.L. Xue Charlie
Published: November 2019

Since the 1960s, China has exported a large number of foreign aid buildings to numerous recipient regions, initially as a member of the socialist camp spreading their post-war inﬂuence on developing countries, then as catalyzer of diplomacy and economic development. Among these constructions are a considerable proportion of stadiums. Because of their landmark effect and lasting time of use, these oversea stadiumsstandoutfromothertypesofChina-aidbuildings.Fromneighboringcountries in Asia to brotherhood countries in Africa, Latin America and Oceania, these largescale projects are located in different and complex geographical and cultural contexts. However, most of these projects were designed by Chinese architects from domestic design institutions. The integration of these buildings into the local environment and urban context becomes a signiﬁcant issue for architectural design. Through detailed analysis of the representative case projects, and interviewing of people involved in the design and management process, we aim to explore and discuss regional design attempts and common methods used by Chinese architects when designing these cross-border stadiums, so as to provide reference for architectural design of this category in the future.
Towards Design Strategies for Requalifying the Rural: A Comparative Study of Hollow Settlements in China and Italy
Authors: Semprebon Gerardo , Marinelli Mauro , Valente Ilaria
Published: November 2019

Smallsettlementsincountrysideareascallforagrowingnumberofchallengesagainst the backdrop of global rural-urban transition. In this paper, we focus on the processes of depopulation and building abandonment in rural areas of China and Italy. We consider two similar experiences taking place in different contexts, and suggest useful design tools for strategies of architectural requaliﬁcation. In China, we study a small village in Fujian Province as a paradigmatic example of the well-known phenomenon of “hollow villages.” The word hollow refers to the emptying of dwellings in the central parts of rural settlements, while, paradoxically, their fringe areas are the object of residential land expansion. This notion was coined in the early 1990s to describe the spatial, social and economic consequences of the combination of a rural exodus and a rampant urbanisation. In Italy, we consider a case study in the Province of Trento, where the evacuation of village central cores follow the sprawling towards the village’s outskirts. Even though the recent trends show that the demographic haemorrhage away from the village is declining, the abandonment of old houses in favour of the construction of new ones seems relentless. Such issues gather a growing interest by cultural, political and academic institutions. Never the less, little attention has been paid to the similarities of architectural experiences across national boundaries. Aiming to bridge this gap, we compare the results of our studies on the architectural requaliﬁcation of rural settlements in both China and Italy. Our methodology embodies a graphic representation of our ﬁeldwork, examines the relationships between the built form and its natural framework and analytically assesses the physical condition and use level of the existing buildings. Despite local speciﬁcities, there are signiﬁcant overlaps from which these and other cases can gain insight. We observe that similar transnational issues can be stimulated by global transition processes driven by local forces and context-related patterns of spatial transformation. More speciﬁcally, the intensity and the extent of hollowing of Chinese villages stimulates the broad testing of a spectrum of methodologies and knowledges. These can be both inherited from other contexts or experimented with as innovative approaches. From this perspective, the Italian experience, where the abandonment dates backwards in time, is a fruitful source of comparison.

Shenzhensetsanexampleforrapiddevelopmentofurbanplanningandconstruction.It was the starting point of the most massive city-construction movement in contemporary China. In less than 40 years, many representative urban space and buildings on the mainmast-west highway—-ShennanRoad,have witnessed the for mation of the banded multi-center structural layout and the miraculous expansion of the city. Many of those iconic buildings are designed by Hong Kong or foreign architects. With the continuous development of the length and width of Shennan road, its broad and prosperous image is not only a symbol of the fruits of reform and opening up in Shenzhen or even China, but also contains the growth history of Shenzhen’s architectural modernization. This paper reviews and summarizes the changes of the urban fabric and the design trend of representative buildings along with the Shennan Road in different periods by the historical research methods. Combined with the transfer path of the city center, this study analyzes what kind of unique role the street and buildings act as in the developmentofurbanstructureinShenzhen,and expound what other urban functions and symbolic meaning they have. In the context of globalization, this article discusses how do the buildings designed by foreign architects change our city,thedrivenfactors behind the phenomenon of the design trend change.

It concludes that Diwang Tower is an important milestone in the contemporary architectural history of China since 1978, especially regarding the introduction of Western architecture and its adaptation in the Chinese context.
An Eco-poetic Approach to Architecture Across Boundaries
Authors: Westermann Claudia
Published: November 2019

As highlighted by the post-Cartesian discourse across philosophical schools, Western thought had been struggling for a long time with conceiving interconnectedness. The problematic of Western dualism is most apparent with the so-called mind-body problem, but the issue does not only relate to the separation of body and mind but also the separation of living beings from their environments. Asian philosophy, on the other hand, has had a long history of thinking relations. The paper argues that an architectural philosophy that is open for a dialogue with Asian views would allow for a new approach to conceptualising the interconnectedness of minds, bodies, environments, and cultures. Linking Asian and Western aesthetics with a discourse on ecology, and setting it into dialogue with contemporary theories of architecture, the paper also refers torecent research on embodiment that is engaging from a new point of view with the natural sciences, and that appears to conﬁrm positions of traditional Chinese philosophy. Reconsidering traditional Chinese art and aesthetics, the paper suggests, could initiate a new eco-poetic way of thinking the built environment and its design in favour of a future that is more than smart.
Campus developments China Versus Middle East
Authors: Loehlein Gisela
Published: November 2019

Campus developments are great social cultural and economic indicator for how a country views education on the one side and on the other what value architecture has in this. The paper is assessing the key stakeholder. The impact education has on the community and economy. Architectural designers are driven by their own design as well as economic ambition. The architectural choice of campus designs in the UAE is driven by internationalization drive. China seems to be more driven by internal ﬂexibility and drive to have a symbolic architectural expression of the campus.
Why Factory1: The Spatial Signiﬁcance of Architectural Education Buildings
Authors: fengji Zhu , leilei Sun , kaiyi Zhu , Liping Jing
Published: November 2019

The educational space of the Architecture faculty is used to cultivate architects. At the same time, it becomes the carrier of architectural ideas and teaching methods. The type of architecture and its spatial organization reﬂect the architectural education philosophy and attitude. Back in history, as early as the Renaissance, there had study places for architects emerged. After the industrial revolution and the modernist process, the types of architectural education sites are more diverse, and their main features are the spatial form of hybrid and box-in-box. This article preliminarily analyzes the evolution of the outline of architectural education building and interprets the spatial ideas in each period. The study focuses on the famous Dutch architectural school–BKCity of the Delft University of Technology, analyzing the teaching space logic of its distinctive Why Factory and exploring how the related space could stimulate the vitality of architectural education. By the analogy of some architectural schools, it also tries to compare the differences and characteristics of Chinese and Western architectural academies, ﬁnding out the spatial signiﬁcance in architecture discipline, education method as well as sustainable application.
Transformations: On Contingent Form in University Studio Teaching with Two Case Studies
Authors: Jasper Michael
Published: November 2019

This paper begins to ask by what means and in what form might the university studio functionsothatitcontributestoinﬂectingthebiases,limits, and reserves of architecture to allow it to better adapt to changing environmental and social challenges? More generally, the paper aims to contribute to debates concerned with the manner by which the university studio can be the site not just for training in design processes but for knowledge production as well. The paper frames an approach to these ambitions through a brief comparative analysis of a multi-yearstudiodeliveredbyPeterEisenman at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (1981-1985) and a limited cycle of studios completed under Colin Rowe in his Urban Design Studio, Cornell University, with a focus on urban-scale projects undertaken under Rowe’s direction in those same years. Two hypotheses underlie the paper. The ﬁrst is that the Eisenman and Rowe studios extend and transform ideas and composition devices treating the contingent over the abstract and that such teaching systems might aid in development of a practice that begins to address changing complexities and the call for new forms of knowledge. The second hypothesis is that contingent form is a potentially innovative composition strategy and conceptual tool, one awaiting theorisation and resuscitation. The paper adds to scholarship on architecture education, makes a modest contribution to EisenmanandRowestudies,andaddressesaspectsofconferenceTheme3Education and Professional Practice Across Borders.

Authors: Chan Kai Tsun , Q. L. Xue Charlie
Published: November 2019

The emergence of the knowledge-driven economic structure reshapes the role of higher education institutions (HEIs) against the background of social development. HEIs have long served as the most important source of knowledge and intelligence to a city, and they are now demanded more than their traditional role solely in education and research.This givesrise toa newmodel of HEIs, namely“UrbanHigher Education Institutions (UHEIs)”, which is to enable intense interactions between a HEI and its host city by means of campus location. This research is aimed to contribute to the body of knowledge on architectural typology by investigation into the design of campus and learning spaces therein for UHEIs which can serve the needs of a city driven by the knowledge economy. A recommended model considering a list of design parameters is expected to be developed which underpins the design paradigm for addressing the given condition of high-density urban environment in Hong Kong.
Geometry Method: An Architectural Education Experiment of Crossing Boundaries of Chinese and Western
Authors: Zhan Yuan , Ruan Hao
Published: November 2019

Western architecture has a clear system and context. One important reason is that geometry is the foundation and core of Western classical architecture. Looking back at the traditional Chinese architecture, the mentoring method of oral communication is the only way of passing on knowledge. It is almost impossible to learn from a systematic model. One of my experiments in architectural education is to re-recognize the connotation of Chinese native architecture with the method of geometry as a core, to explore the potential geometric and mathematical prototypes of Chinese traditional architectural space and aesthetics, and to translate abstract concepts and intentions into visual image and digital relationships. While discussing the spatial formal logically, it sorts out the context and classiﬁcation structure of traditional Chinese space to help understand the essence of architectural design and its signiﬁcance. This pedagogy is unfoldedasa”trilogy”system:(1)ResearchandanalysisoftraditionalChineseclassical architecture, and establishing an analytical model; (2) Build relationships between geometric analysis and space; (3) Design/ Model making.
Architectural Design Optimization—Results from a User Survey
Authors: Wortmann Thomas
Published: November 2019

Although there is a substantial body of academic literature on Architectural Design Optimization (ADO), not much is known about actual ADO practices. This paper presents results from a user study of ADO in Grasshopper and compares them with previous studies. Compared to these studies, this anonymous, web-based survey employed a more relevant sample in that all eighteen respondents actually use ADO and in that they represent a mix of students, academics,and professionals.The survey's results highlight the importance of supporting meaningful selections from and better understandings of optimization results and question the ADO literatures’ emphasis on evolutionary, multi-objective optimization algorithms. They thus guide future research and development on ADO tools and ultimately contribute to the design of a more resource- and energy-efﬁcient built environment.
Lightweight Semiautomatic City Engine Systems: A Speciﬁc Case of Urban Induction Theory

Published: November 2019

Generative urban design is an emerging ﬁeld which seeks to apply a procedural algorithm to grow urban forms parametrically. These tools are mainly used for cityscapes in the entertainment industry. Currently, there is active research to repurpose them as semantically meaningful tools for urban design. This paper reviews the two primary approaches to generative urban design: CityEngine and Urban Induction(UI).AfterconsiderationUIwaschosenasthepreferredapproach.Thispaper is a commentary on and assumes a background knowledge of UI. A novel synthesis of UI and Form-Based Codes is proposed as a lightweight method of generation. This method is then tested on a 3,040 acre site in San Francisco. Results indicate while the method works conceptually in simple cases it should be expanded into a comprehensive toolset before it can be considered an open-source replacement for CityEngine.
A Reasoned Approach to the Integration of Design and Fabrication Technologies in Architecture Education
Authors: Di Marco Giancarlo
Published: November 2019

Integrating industrial technologies within education curricula, as well as creating fabrication laboratories, has become inevitable for Architecture Departments: digital design tools(eg: CGandCADsoftware)and digital fabrication tools(eg: cutting, printing, and milling technologies)have become standard assets almost every University has a digital fabrication lab, or at least a 3D printer, or a laser cutting machine. The education system itself is striving to ﬁnd new pedagogic methods to best involve students in the learning process: learning-by-doing, project-based learning, gamiﬁcation,“tailored” curricula, etc. All of these methods require simpliﬁcation of the basic theoretical set of knowledge which is fundamental in any profession, especially in Architecture. Moreover,theﬁrstoutcomesofappliedlearning-by-doing programs show that such programs are as time-demanding as traditional programs [1]. On the other hand, the use of advanced tools such as parametric/generative software and prototyping/fabrication machines demands a high degree of interdisciplinary preparation, always crossing the boundaries of the speciﬁc ﬁeld of study. Therefore, the integration of design and fabrication technologies in Architecture Education is not a simple process and it requires a redesign of the whole curriculum as well as the creation of an educational transition system from secondary schools to university. Switchingfromstandardarchitecturaldesignprocessestoadvanceddigitaldesignand fabrication enhanced processes is possible by learning how to code.

A crucial aspect ofthisprocessistheconsiderationofhighwindloadsonthefaçade,as they frequently occurinHongKongduetoregularlyoccurringtyphoons.Designforwindperformance is typically outside of the expertise of architectural designers and thus requires close collaboration between architects and structural engineers. Conventionally trained structural engineers may however not be accustomed to work with unusual building form or to consider architectural design ideas as part of engineering proposals. In the context of this paper, building information modeling (BIM) is used to facilitate cross-disciplinary dialogue as well as interdisciplinary workﬂows during the early design stages.

Galant – new sort of tomato for the Far East
Authors: Kuzmitskaya Galina A.
Published: November 2019

Relevance. Tomato is one of the most spreaded vegetable cultures in Khabarovsk Territory. Presence of the favourable weather conditions in the region, high ecological plasticity of tomato sorts promote the tomato cultivation in open and protected ground everywhere and in large areas. The main cause of crop failure or large losses of tomatoes in the Far East is a complex, unpredictable, not meeting anywhere else in Russia the monsoon climate causing a strong waterlogging observed almost every year in July-August, the period of the main tomato harvest forming. Such weather conditions promote the development of main diseases of the solanaceous cultures, and their most aggressive races often appear. Therefore a high natural infectious background and a sharply variable hydrothermal regime are the main limiting factors in the cultivation of tomatoes in the Khabarovsk Territory.

Methods. Work on the creation of a new variety with the given parameters was started in 2007 by conducting intervarietal crossings between Volgogradsky 5/95 and Zarya Vostoka varieties, followed by multiple selections against a natural infectious background. The early ripening variety of Zarya Vostoka is a local selection variety, was used in the breeding process as an early maturity donor, and Volgogradsky 5/95, a stem type of plant. The main method of breeding work to create new varieties of tomato was analytical with continuous selection. All the necessary phenological, biometric and phytopathological observations and counts according to methods generally accepted in this culture. The purpose of our research was to create a new strain tomato variety with a short period of vegetation, forming the harvest of fruit before the appearance and spread of the disease and high productive potential.

Results. This publication presents the information about the new local tomato sort Galant. This sort was received by inter-sort hybridization between the stem sort Volgogradsky 5/95 and local early ripening sort Zarya Vostoka. The sort was selected as a result long-term selection on the natural infectious background with the assessment by progeny of promising lines for a complex of morpho-biological and economically valuable traits in monsoon climate conditions of Priamurye. The new sort is different from other studied non-district and local sorts by fastripeness, high productivity, resistance to main diseases and also by stem type of plant.

The negative stereotypes about mental health, and AfricanAmerican College students’ willingness to seek counseling
Authors: Chandler Quaneshia S.
Published: November 2019

Mental health issues, such as excessive stress, anxiety and depression, are common among the college students. Students from minority populations disproportionally experience these issues, which impacts their overall functioning. It is well known that African Americans and others underutilise mental health service and are more likely to discontinue services even when they seek such services. Given this observation, the present study examines the attitude of African American college students towards seeking mental health services. Specifically, the study will highlight negative stereotypes attached to seeking mental health services, and how these impact the willingness of African American college students to seek mental health services. The study will explore ways to combat these negative stereotypes. Additionally, the study will also discuss the many barriers that come in to play with African Americans in seeking mental health opportunities.

Intersection of Mental Health, Education, and Juvenile Justice: The Role of Mental Health Providers in Reducing the School-to-Prison Pipeline
Authors: McCarter Susan
Published: November 2019

The school-to-prison pipeline (STPP) describes the corridor between the education system and the justice system which is increasingly filled with children and youth who have mental health challenges. Approximately 22% of children (under 18 years old) in the general U.S. population have psychiatric disorders, as compared to approximately 70% of justice-involved children (Cocozza & Shufelt, 2006; Teplin et al., 2002). This article uses the differential behavior hypothesis and the differential selection/processing hypothesis to critically examine the intersection of the mental health, education, and juvenile justice systems and the overrepresentation of mental illness for justice-involved youth in the United States. Early identification, assessment, barriers to care and health disparities, school discipline, and the criminalization of children and youth with mental illness are explored with global implications. Recommendations and promising practices are offered including: improved data and service provider collaborations, community-based services and systems of care, diversion and decarceration, juvenile mental health courts, and juvenile crisis intervention teams.
Repercussões da tradição da civil law na Execução
Authors: Minami Marcos Youji
Published: November 2019

RESUMO: A tradição da civil law é caracterizada não apenas por um aspecto, mas por vários fatores observados ao longo de sua formação. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar que esses fatores repercutem na maneira em como os juristas são educados e em como os tribunais resolvem os procedimentos executivos. Conclui-se que a tradição da civil law é parcialmente responsável por uma educação jurídica incompleta e por decisões pelos tribunais sem a devida fundamentação. Utilizou-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e de análise de decisões.

Highly sensitive multicomponent materials designed for the recognition of hazardous compounds request a detailed knowledge of interfacial chemistry. It is a key parameter in the construction of the sensing (macro)molecular architectures. In this work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (in short, CNTs) were deposited on diazonium-modified flexible ITO electrodes prior to electropolymerization of pyrrole. This three step process, including diazoniumelectroreduction, deposition of CNTs and electropolymerization, provided adhesively bonded polypyrrole-wrapped CNT composite coatings on aminophenyl-modified flexible ITO sheets. The aminophenyl (AP) groups were attached to ITO by electroreduction of the in situ generated aminobenzenediazonium compound in aqueous, acidic medium. For the first time, polypyrrole (PPy) was electrodeposited in the presence of both benzenesulfonic acid (dopant) and ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) which acts as a chelator. The flexible electrodes were characterized by XPS, Raman and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which provided strong supporting evidence for the wrapping of CNTs by the electrodeposited PPy. Indeed, the diameter of the nanotubes increased from 2-9 nm to ~24-35 nm for one voltammetric cycle and further to ~29-45 nm for 5 cycles. The PPy/CNT/NH2-ITO films generated by this strategy exhibit significantly improved stability and higher conductivity compared to a similar PPy coating without any embedded CNTs as assessed by from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The potentiometric response was linear in the 10-8−3×10-7 mol.L-1Pb(II) concentration range and the detection limit was 2.9×10-9 mol.L-1 at S/N=3. The EGTA was found to drastically improve selectivity forPb(II) over Cu(II). To account for this improvement, density functional theory (DFT) was employed to calculate the EGTA-metal ion interaction energy which was found to be -374.6 and -116.4 kJ/mol for Pb(II) and Cu(II), respectively, considering solvation effects. This work demonstrates the power of a subtle combination of diazonium coupling agent, CNTs, chelators and conductive polymers to design high-performance electrochemical sensors for environmental applications.

This study was conducted to determine the dynamic effects of dietary crude protein (CP) intake on nitrogen (N) balance, ileal amino acid digestibility, and gene expression levels of digestive enzymes at three stages in pigs. In Experiment 1, 18 growing pigs (average body weight (BW) = 9.5 kg) were randomly assigned to one of three treatments (n = 6/treatment group), including normal (20% CP), low (17% CP), and very low (14% CP) protein intake. In Experiment 2, 18 growing pigs (average BW = 30 kg) were allotted randomly to one of three treatments (n = 6/treatment group), including normal (18% CP), low (15% CP), and very low (12% CP) protein intake. In Experiment 3, 18 growing pigs (average BW = 45 kg) were assigned randomly to one of three treatments (n = 6/treatment group), including normal (16% CP), low (13% CP), and very low (10% CP) protein intake. Growing pigs fed the 14% CP and 17% CP diets had lower final BW (P < 0.05) and average daily gain (ADG) (P < 0.05) compared to pigs fed the 20% CP diet. Reducing the dietary CP level from 20 to 14% decreased urinary N excretion by 52.8% (P < 0.001) in Experiment 1. Reducing the dietary CP level from 18 to 12% decreased urinary N excretion by 55.3% (P < 0.001) and reduced fecal N excretion by 34% (P < 0.05) in Experiment 2. Reducing the dietary CP level from 16 to 10% decreased urinary N excretion by 56.4% (P < 0.001) and fecal N excretion by 47.1% (P < 0.001) in Experiment 3. Pigs fed the very low (14%, 12%, and 10% CP) diets showed higher digestibility for CP (P < 0.05), His (P < 0.05), Ile (P < 0.05), Phe (P < 0.05), Thr (P < 0.05), Trp (P < 0.05), Glu (P < 0.05), and Ser (P < 0.05) compared to pigs fed the normal (20%, 18%, and 16% CP) diets among the three experiments. Pigs fed the very low (14%, 12%, and 10% CP) diets showed higher mRNA levels for chymotrypsin C (P < 0.01 in Experiment 1 and 2; P < 0.05 in Experiment 3) compared to pigs fed the normal (20%, 18%, and 16% CP) diets among the three experiments. These results indicated that a reduction in dietary CP by 6% limited the growth performance of growing pigs, and a reduction of dietary CP by 3% supplemented with essential amino acids could reduce the excretion of N into the environment without affecting weight gain.
