Breaking the Stigma: Challenging the mental health crisis through a new way of designing a recovery facility in Salt Lake City, Utah

Mental health is a highly stigmatized topic within today’s society. The mental health system in the United States has failed to consistently create safe and successful spaces for recovering patients with psychological disorders. Facilities are often described as “inhumane” by patients in how they are designed. Patients have expressed that there is lack of safe, private spaces. The spaces that are considered “private” are solitary confinement wards with no windows or furniture. It is said that interior design is not a priority as well, with no colors or art on walls. Spaces are cold and dead feeling, which does not help the patients in their healing process. People need a safe and encouraging place to go in order to start their road to recovery. Breaking the Stigma aims to challenge the mental health crisis and create a calming and uplifting space for recovering patients in Millcreek, Utah. Creating a space that is positive for a patients’ mental health would include access to outdoor gathering spaces, both public and private, natural and artificial lighting as well as colors within spaces to lift moods, and carefully designed rooms for patients to gather with others and recover on their own time

A class of matroids derived from saturated chain partitions of partially ordered sets

AbstractThe simultaneously k- and (k − 1)-saturated chain partitions of a finite partially ordered set P determine a matroid Gk(P). This matroid is a gammoid. The identity on P induces a strong map from Gk(P) to Gk + 1(P). This strong map has a linear representation

Direct X(3872) production in e+e- collisions

Direct production of the charmonium-like state $X(3872)$ in $e^+e^-$ collisions is considered in the framework of the vector meson dominance model. An order-of-magnitude estimate for the width $\Gamma(X\to e^+e^-)$ is found to be $\gtrsim$0.03 eV. The same approach applied to the $\chi_{c1}$ charmonium decay predicts the corresponding width of the order 0.1 eV in agreement with earlier estimates. Experimental perspectives for the direct production of the $1^{++}$ charmonia in $e^+e^-$ collisions are briefly discussed.Comment: LaTeX2e, 11 pages, 1 figure, version published in Phys.Lett.
