Early identification of individuals at risk for psychosis: recommendations for colleges and universities

Psychotic disorders can instill a tremendous amount of distress on affected individuals (Srihari et al., 2014). Research has established that decreasing the duration of untreated psychosis can yield moderate improvements in the ultimate outcome of persons with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (Gonçalves, de Rosalmeida Dantas, & Banzato, 2016; Reading & Birchwood, 2005). There exists a plethora of research directed at early identification of individuals at risk for psychosis within community-based settings (e.g., Johannessen et al., 2001; Power et al., 2007; Srihari et al., 2014). However, there have been limited efforts to generalize such endeavors to a college environment in the United States, despite the significant overlap between the typical age of onset for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders and the college student population. In order to address this issue, a comprehensive review of the literature pertaining to community-based early identification efforts was conducted. This review then informed the development of recommendations for higher education institutions to engage in early identification of psychosis within their student body. These recommendations are provided in a synthesized format for ease of distribution to colleges and universities

La equidad en las relaciones de trabajo

1 archivo PDF (10 páginas). fhquadragintaquattuorEn este trabajo, se desarrollan dos aspectos. El primero es un análisis acerca del significado de la equidad; destaca en este sentido la relación entre la justicia como una idea genérica y la equidad como una de las especies de aquélla. Como segundo punto se analiza el uso en el derecho positivo mexicano del trabajo. Importante resaltar, por un lado, el escaso uso de este concepto, que podemos llamar principio general del derecho, y por otro, se aprecian nuevos usos que han surgido y le dan actualidad.

Design of an Experimental Setup for Two Phase Flow Studies in near Horizontal Upward and Downward Pipe Orientations

Two phase flow has numerous industrial applications and some of them are related to transport of fluids, such as natural gas transportation. In which the pipe is not always horizontal and tends to be at upward or downward orientations. In the past decades, investigations have been conducted mostly in horizontal, vertical and upward flow. However, very little information is available for downward flows. An experimental setup was designed and constructed for the purpose of investigating heat transfer, pressure drop and void fraction for upward and downward flow. This investigation focused on two phase flow void fraction and flow visualization on a 25.4 mm diameter pipe for different downward flow inclinations. A flow map was developed for -5�, -10� and -20� of inclination describing the different flow pattern transition lines. A flow map comparison was performed between the flow map obtained in the present study and the one developed by Ghajar & Bhagwat (2014) for 12.7 mm pipe diameter pipe. The pipe diameter effect in the transition lines between different flow regimes was analyzed. An evaluation was conducted on thirteen well-known void fraction correlations available in the literature, where Gomez et al. (2000) showed the best performance overall. Also, a comparison of void fraction correlations performance for different pipe diameters was studied by comparing the results obtained in the present study with the results shown by Oyewole (2013) for a 12.7 mm pipe diameter. It was found that even though the pipe diameter is different, the performance of the selected void fraction correlations was analogous.Mechanical Engineerin
