<strong>Abstract: </strong>Adolescence is a significant transitioning phase of life where the young are prone to experiment and engage in risk-taking behaviours such as Substances use. The study objectives were to ascertain the reasons for first-time use of substances, occasions of use, and the sources of availing of banned substances among late adolescents. A quantitative and qualitative study approach was adopted with an exploratory and descriptive research design. Around 532 late adolescent students participated in the study, from colleges in urban & rural areas. The study outcomes high

AbstractBackground:Why patients with psychosis use cannabis remains debated. The self-medication hypothesis has received some support but other evidence points towards an alleviation of dysphoria model. This study investigated the reasons for cannabis use in first-episode psychosis (FEP) and whether strength in their endorsement changed over time.Methods:FEP inpatients and outpatients at the South London and Maudsley, Oxleas and Sussex NHS Trusts UK, who used cannabis, rated their motives at baseline (n = 69), 3 months (n = 29) and 12 months (n = 36).

Atlas cartography of the 21st century is losing its “flagship” status in cartography. Paper atlases have become less attractive in the age of information society. At the same time, electronic atlases either lose competition to other cartographic applications or dissolve among them without having their unique features. Searching for ideas and meanings for new EA concepts, we explored the first atlases’ history to understand their essence, reasons for creation, and success factors.

Abstract:

Parentheticalism is put to use as an explanation of the (otherwise puzzling) ubiquity of sentences involving “believe” and “want” in normative reasons specifications. It is shown that parentheticalism dovetails with a contextualist view of core normative terms. On the resulting view, parenthetical sentences are tailor-made for information-sensitive discourse about reasons and oughts. They specify worldly considerations as reasons and at the same time serve to fix and keep track of subjective bodies of information in the conversational background. Finally, it is argued that the results undermin

Abstract:

A number of prominent modern evolutionists embraced ‘human nature’, signalling their commitment to the Modern Synthesis. Their claim is that for most of our evolutionary history, culture was of little importance, and that genes, not culture, controlled early development. More recently, cultural evolutionists have argued that culture and reason were present deep in the Homo lineage, and that the ability to learn socially develops in the first year of life. Thus, it is reasonable to think that genes and culture coevolved in the evolutionary past, and that they codevelop in infancy and childhood.

Second: the development of capital markets is a key objective for most of the countries that have created an SWF, and debt may be especially useful for the development of the bond market.

Second, that the loss of time is incompatible with what we know from science and, third, that time’s absence would do extreme violence to our self-conception as agents.

The argument is an explanatory rather than extensional one: while the actions supported by the relevant reasons (e.g. keeping a valid promise or respecting property) can be argued to have a

Cannabis use continues to be a public health concern and has become a major clinical and nonclinical research construct in numerous fields for numerous reasons. First, the slight alterations in the criteria for cannabis use disorder (CUD) diagnosis required validation and prevalence statistics. Second, the shift in social perceptions of cannabis use and its legalization by various states have led to significant increases in cannabis use, abuse, and individuals meeting the criteria for CUD. Additionally, understanding the psychological and neural mechanisms associated with CUD will allow for in

Abstract In 2012, a cathodic protection (CP) trial was undertaken to establish the current requirements to protect the submerged and buried bare steel internal surfaces of monopiled windturbine structures in the North Sea. Aluminium alloy anodes were utilized for the CP trial system and a remote monitoring system was also installed to measure the time dependent variations in anode current, structure to seawater potential, cathode current density and monopile hydrogen gas concentration produced from operation of the CP system. Within a few weeks of the trial commencing, the seawater pH inside t

Abstract:

Abstract All painted structures, whether metallic or non-metallic, are stripped and repainted for a variety of reasons at one time or another. The most important reason of them all is for loss of corrosion protection. Paint stripping methods have varied from classical approach of hand or mechanical scrubbing with abrasive materials to use of chemicals. In the last decade, the concerns for environmental pollution and human health have changed all that. The search for cleaner and greener technologies for paint stripping process has begun. For the present discussion, these technologies have been

Abstract:

Abstract Decreasing water supplies and increasing regulations force industry to examine water reuse more closely. Decisions to pursue a water recycle and reuse project are based on many pieces of information. New practices are being considered not only for economic and environmental reasons, but also from an operational point of view; treating water for reuse increases plant control over water quality. Organic and inorganic contamination can pose problems during water reuse. Common treatment methods such as precipitation, used alone, are not always adequate to meet new requirements imposed by

Abstract:

It has been shown that for overset CFD calculations that utilize high order accurate inviscid flux discretization schemes, solution accuracy can be increased by using high-order overset interpolation. This can be critically relevant in many cases, such as those where it is important to accurately track vortical structures through the domain because of fluid-structure interactions, for example. Many block structured overset CFD solutions employ variants of Lagrangian interpolation to determine overset donor weights and, of these, most use 2nd order accurate interpolation stencils.

Abstract:

Improving trust in decisions made by classification models is becoming crucial for the acceptance of automated systems, and an important way of doing that is by providing explanations for the behaviour of the models. Different explainers have been proposed in the recent literature for that purpose, however their formal properties are under-studied. This paper investigates theoretically explainers that provide reasons behind decisions independently of instances. Its contributions are fourfold. The first is to lay the foundations of such explainers by proposing key axioms, i.e., desirable proper

Urban sustainability requires reducing the environmental footprint of urban mobility. To achieve this goal public transport becomes key due to its lower impact on congestion, pollution, accidents and greenhouse gas emissions as compared to private transport. Thus, encouraging public transport use is a frequent goal among city authorities. For this, they often devote an important fraction of their budget to improve the quality of its service. Many cities subsidize not just the infrastructure for public transport, but also its operation based on (some of) the following reasons. 1. As a second-be
