Causes of depression
The document discusses that depression is caused by complex biological factors rather than a simple chemical imbalance. It involves interactions between genetics, brain chemistry, stress, and life experiences. While neurotransmitters play a role in mood regulation, depression does not result from just having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals. The brain regions like the amygdala, hippocampus, and thalamus are also involved.
Layers and Lobes
The document summarizes the different layers of the brain from the brain stem up. It discusses how each layer develops and its main functions. The brain stem and midbrain develop first and are responsible for automatic functions like breathing and heart rate. The cerebellum develops next and controls movement coordination. The limbic system processes emotions. The cortex, which develops last, is responsible for higher level thinking. The cortex is divided into specialized lobes with different functions.

The document summarizes research on how the brain works and applies to learning. It discusses that the brain consists mainly of water, uses a lot of energy, and has circadian rhythms. It develops greatly during childhood and adolescence through pruning and growth of connections. Sleep is important for memory consolidation and "cleaning" the brain. Providing an enriched learning environment promotes brain growth. Stress and boredom hinder learning while humor, music, and exercise can boost it. Food and hydration also impact brain function and cognition.

The document describes how students build understanding of key terms in a collaborative "chain" process. One student begins by defining a term and connecting it to another, with subsequent students adding their own explanations to further link terms until all are connected. Finally, the class reviews the completed chain to clarify any unclear connections and reinforce their understanding of the topic.

The Number and Reintegration of Armenian Migrants Returned to Homeland from t...
This document summarizes a research study on Armenian migrants who returned to Armenia from the USA between 1991-2008. It provides data on the numbers and characteristics of returnees, the main reasons for return, and challenges with reintegration. The conclusion recommends developing a nationwide repatriation program to better facilitate and support the return of Armenian migrants to their homeland.
Domestically Issued Public Debt As A Sustainable Alternative
Armenia has issued domestic public debt since 1995 to finance government activities and borrowing needs. Domestic debt currently makes up a larger portion of Armenia's total public debt than in the past. However, Armenia's domestic debt market has weaknesses like high interest rates, a weak investor base consisting mostly of commercial banks, and a thin secondary market. To develop Armenia's domestic debt market in a sustainable way, the document recommends that Armenia establish a debt management strategy, implement pension reforms, broaden its network of primary dealers, and standardize debt instruments and issuance calendars.

Humanitarian Intervention
The document discusses various topics related to humanitarian intervention and sovereignty including:
1. The responsibility to protect principle holds that states have a primary responsibility to protect civilians, and the international community has a secondary responsibility to assist or intervene if the state is unwilling or unable to protect its population from mass atrocities.
2. There is debate around when and how humanitarian intervention should take place, with questions around the role of the UN Security Council and criteria for determining just cause.
3. While humanitarian intervention has become more accepted, it remains a highly political issue and requires balancing concerns of sovereignty and preventing mass atrocities or genocide. Global consensus and prevention should be the ultimate goals.
Household Corruption Survey 2009
The document summarizes key findings from corruption surveys conducted in Armenia in 2008 and 2009. It finds that corruption is still perceived as a major problem, though some indicators show slight improvements over the previous year. Respondents believe corruption exists across many levels of government and sectors of society. However, most people are still reluctant to report corrupt acts due to lack of faith in the system and fear of retaliation. The government is not seen as very effective in its anti-corruption efforts.
State of Armenian Irregular Migrants in Turkey
The document summarizes the findings of a research study on the state of Armenian migrants in Turkey. It finds that 94% of Armenian workers in Turkey are women who work in jobs like house cleaning and childcare. While Armenian migrants initially had fears about Turkey before arriving, their attitudes change positively after experiencing the cultural similarities between Turkish and Armenian people. However, Armenian children born in Turkey cannot access education and face an uncertain future due to a lack of citizenship rights.
IMF Regional Economic Outlook for the Caucasus and Central Asia
The document summarizes the International Monetary Fund's November 2009 regional economic outlook report for the Caucasus and Central Asia region. It finds that while the global economy is beginning to recover from the crisis, recovery in the CCA region will be modest, with growth expected to pick up in 2010 following a downturn in 2009. The crisis hit the region's energy importing countries hard through sharp drops in remittances and exports. Macroeconomic policies across the region were made more accommodative to counter the crisis impacts. Financial sectors remain stressed with rising non-performing loans. Poverty levels may rise in energy importers due to factors like lower incomes and employment. Sustained fiscal stimulus and financial sector stabilization will be important for recovery
The Sources and Uses of Survey Data on Armenia
1. The document discusses several data sources on Armenia including the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS), Life in Transition Survey (LiTS), population census, and household surveys.
2. BEEPS examines the business environment in Armenia by surveying firms. LiTS provides individual-level data by surveying households to assess how transition has affected lives.
3. Examples are given of how the data from these sources has been used such as analyzing how tax evasion varies with bribery using BEEPS data, and studying income mobility and the impact of remittances on education spending using LiTS data.
Institutional Sources of Corruption in the Case of Armenia
This document analyzes the relationship between perceptions of corruption in Armenia and three institutional sources: formal rules, informal rules, and enforcement mechanisms. Statistical models show perceptions of enforcement mechanisms and informal rules significantly correlate with perceived corruption, but not formal rules. Higher education levels also correlate with higher perceived corruption. The document recommends reforms like transparency laws and judicial reforms to strengthen enforcement mechanisms to reduce corruption by impacting informal norms.
Civil Society and Corruption
This document summarizes research on Armenian public perceptions of NGOs and corruption. The research questions examined how NGOs are perceived in relation to corruption, and whether certain groups are more willing to counter corruption. The results found that NGOs have a "shallow positive" image and are not well known. Those willing to counter corruption tended to be urban residents of Yerevan and Tavush with higher education and incomes in the 120,000-240,000 AMD range monthly. Anti-corruption activists constituted around 1% of respondents.
Freedom of Expression and Censorship in Armenia
