Effects of Perceived Stigma from College Friends on Students Utilizing Mental Health Services
This paper explores the relationship between perceived stigma from friends and the use of mental health services. By reviewing six peer-reviewed articles it was hypothesized that there would be a negative correlation between the number of Virginia Commonwealth University’s Psychology 317 students who perceive that their friends had negative thoughts towards mental health services and the likelihood that those individuals would partake in mental health services. A convenience sample (N= 96) was taken from Dr. Cobb’s Psychology 317 class. A correlation was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 22. The results showed that there was a significant and weak positive correlation between the two variables, r(94)= 0.292, p= 0.004. Meaning, as the number of number of friends who used mental health services increased, the number of students who use mental health services would increase as well. Additionally, if people lack friends who use mental health services, they will be less likely to use mental health services offered to them. Through this research school officials can try increasing the number of people being educated on mental illnesses. As a result, the incidence of mental health stigma could be reduced and the number of people using mental health services may increase

Loop operators and S-duality from curves on Riemann surfaces
We study Wilson-'t Hooft loop operators in a class of N=2 superconformal
field theories recently introduced by Gaiotto. In the case that the gauge group
is a product of SU(2) groups, we classify all possible loop operators in terms
of their electric and magnetic charges subject to the Dirac quantization
condition. We then show that this precisely matches Dehn's classification of
homotopy classes of non-self-intersecting curves on an associated Riemann
surface--the same surface which characterizes the gauge theory. Our analysis
provides an explicit prediction for the action of S-duality on loop operators
in these theories which we check against the known duality transformation in
several examples.Comment: 41 page
