The document summarizes a student's class project observing and interviewing patients and staff at a facility for the mentally ill. The student was initially surprised and disturbed by negative definitions of mental illness but overcame fears through research. Interviews with staff provided insight into caring for patients, while an interview with a patient named Jimmy who asked the student to return was most memorable. The student learned patients share common bonds and fears of abandonment with others. The conclusion discusses activist Dorothea Dixon who improved conditions in the early 20th century after witnessing inhumane treatment of the mentally ill.
The document discusses counterfactual thinking, which involves imagining how past events could have turned out differently. It provides an example from the author's life where they transferred high schools in the middle of high school. The author reflects on how things may have been better if they had not changed schools originally and had stayed with their primary school friends. They also discuss being sad to leave friends at their original high school but feeling it was necessary for transportation reasons, and being excited to reunite with old friends but then struggling to adapt to the changes among their friend group after the separation.
This document describes how two homeopaths, Dorothy and Deborah, supported each other during difficult personal times by having Deborah temporarily take over Dorothy's practice. When Dorothy's father became ill, she realized she may need to take time off and asked Deborah to be her locum. Later, when Dorothy's father passed away, Deborah contacted Dorothy's clients to let them know and rescheduled or saw appointments. Both homeopaths found the arrangement beneficial - Dorothy was able to grieve without worrying about her practice, clients received continuity of care, and Deborah gained experience with a new practice. The document provides suggestions for how other homeopaths can create a similar arrangement of support.
This article describes the personal journey of a woman from Hong Kong named Alice Kan in learning to live with and manage her bipolar disorder. After initially being diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1991 and then receiving a changed diagnosis of bipolar disorder, Kan has come to accept her illness and see it as a "traveling companion". She discusses her experiences with medication and periods of being medication-free. Currently, Kan works as a legal secretary and volunteers teaching recovery approaches and advising on peer support training programs. She hopes to help reduce stigma around mental illness and encourage others to view their conditions as traveling companions that can be managed rather than disabilities.
1) The author describes how a prescription for Percocet to treat headaches triggered an opioid addiction after he continued taking them for their positive effects even after his headaches resolved.
2) He began diverting opioids like Percocet, morphine, and Dilaudid from his work as a nurse in emergency departments by having other nurses witness fake disposals.
3) His addiction and tolerance grew rapidly until he was discovered and lost his nursing jobs and license. He continued abusing opioids and alcohol and spiraled further into addiction, guilt, and denial until he hit rock bottom.
This document discusses the author's experience learning empathy during her dietetic internship. While she felt confident in her nutritional knowledge from undergrad, she questioned whether she had the ability to share and understand another person's feelings. During a difficult visit with a palliative care patient's family, she had to dig deep and put herself in their place to communicate empathically. This experience helped mold her into the dietitian she wants to be by teaching her to provide information to patients in an empathetic way. The author concludes that while empathy cannot be taught in a classroom, it can be learned through life's lessons, and is a necessary component of her practice as a dietitian.

high performance concrete by ABHINAV RAWATAbhinav Rawat
High performance concrete (HPC) provides improved strength, durability, workability, and toughness compared to normal concrete. HPC achieves these properties through the use of high-quality cement, supplementary cementitious materials like fly ash and silica fume, and superplasticizers. The main purpose of HPC is to enhance the life of structures by improving impermeability and durability. HPC requires sufficient workability despite very low water-cement ratios, attained through superplasticizers. Strength ranges from 60 to 150 MPa, while improved elastic modulus and dimensional stability counteract undesirable volume changes.
Litracon is a light-transmitting concrete invented by architect Aron Losonczy in 2001. It is produced by casting thousands of optical fibers directly into concrete mixtures. When light enters one end of the embedded fibers, it is transmitted through the concrete by total internal reflection in the fibers. Litracon has advantages like reduced lighting costs and illuminated structures, though it is more expensive than traditional concrete. Potential applications include translucent walls, ceilings, sidewalks, and other structures.
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in India with annual consumption exceeding 100 million cubic meters.
High performance concrete is a concrete in which certain characteristics are developed for a particular application and environment, so that it will give excellent performance in the structure in which it will be placed.
A high-strength concrete is always a high performance concrete, but a high-performance concrete is not always a high-strength concrete.
Light transmitting concrete, also known as translucent concrete, is a concrete-based building material that transmits light through the uniform distribution of optical fibers throughout its body. It works on the principle of total internal reflection within the fibers to transmit light over long distances with minimal loss. Potential applications of light transmitting concrete include use in floors, ceilings, walls, and pavements to illuminate buildings while retaining compressive strength comparable to ordinary concrete.
1) The document discusses methods for designing high-performance concrete mixes, including the limitations of existing methods like ACI 211-1 which are intended for normal concrete.
2) It proposes a new simplified method that involves selecting the water-to-binder ratio, water content, superplasticizer dosage, coarse aggregate content, and entrained air content in sequence.
3) The key aspects of high-performance concrete that make existing mix design methods inadequate include the ability to independently control slump and water content using superplasticizers, and the need to satisfy requirements like low permeability and high durability in addition to high strength.
This document discusses high-strength concrete (HSC). It defines HSC as concrete with a 28-day compressive strength of over 40 MPa. HSC uses a low water-cement ratio, smaller aggregate sizes, and admixtures like silica fume and superplasticizers. Compared to normal-strength concrete, HSC has higher resistance to pressure, modulus of elasticity, and strength gained at an earlier age. Some applications of HSC mentioned include bridges, high-rise buildings, power plants, and skyscrapers. The document concludes that interest in HSC is growing rapidly due to its advantages like reduced material needs and increased construction speeds.
The document provides an introduction to advanced building materials. It discusses how materials are becoming more intelligent, interactive and responsive. It then classifies advanced building materials into intelligent materials that can sense and respond on their own, and interactive materials that require external commands to function. The document lists several material trends and properties of advanced materials, and outlines the aims and scope of studying these materials for sustainable construction. It provides examples of specific advanced materials like aerogel, lotusan paint and others, describing their composition, characteristics and applications.
This document provides an overview of concrete, including its history and types. It focuses on high-strength concrete (HSC), describing how it is made with a low water-cement ratio and additives. Guidelines are given for selecting materials for HSC to achieve different compressive strengths. The differences between normal strength concrete and HSC are outlined. Applications of HSC include reducing column sizes in buildings and bridges and increasing floor area in high-rise buildings. Examples are given of bridges that used HSC to decrease volume and increase spans.

High performance concrete provides improved durability and structural capacity compared to conventional concrete. It has a denser microstructure due to a lower water-cement ratio, making it more impermeable and durable. Various methods can be used to produce high strength concrete, including seeding, revibration, and using admixtures. High performance concrete requires careful material selection and mixing to obtain properties like low permeability, high early strength, and resistance to chemical attack. It is an engineered concrete that achieves optimized performance for given loading and exposure conditions.

13 construction material from the futureMasoud Fayeq
The document summarizes 13 emerging construction materials, including translucent concrete that uses glass fibers to allow light transmission, sensiTiles with embedded fiber optics that twinkle as people walk on them, and electrified wood that incorporates wiring to power devices. It also discusses flexible honeycomb structures, paper-based countertops, self-repairing cement with microcapsules that seal cracks, strong yet lightweight carbon fiber, and bendable concrete reinforced with fibers.
Transparent concrete is a concrete based building material with light-Tran missive properties due to embedded light optical elements usually Optical fibres. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. Therefore the fibres have to go through the whole object. Transparent concrete is also known as the translucent concrete and light transmitting concrete because of its properties. It is used in fine architecture as a facade material and for cladding of interior walls. In this paper, to integrate the merits of concrete and optical fibre, for developing transparent concrete by arranging the high numerical aperture Plastic Optical Fibres (POF) or big diameter glass optical fibre into concrete. The main purpose is to use sunlight as a light source to reduce the power consumption of illumination and to use the optical fiber to sense the stress of structures and also use this concrete as an architectural purpose for good aesthetical view of the building.

Self-advocacy refers to individuals taking control of their own lives and healthcare decisions. It has its roots in the civil rights movement for people with disabilities. Practicing self-advocacy involves being assertive when expressing needs and desires, knowing one's rights, and controlling anger in a reasonable manner. Having experience achieving tasks, observing others' successes, and receiving encouragement can boost self-efficacy and self-advocacy. When meeting with doctors, individuals should write down questions, speak up if anything is unclear, and ask for written information. The Patient Bill of Rights protects individuals' ability to make healthcare decisions.
This document summarizes a student's research project on the relationship between humor and depression across different age groups. The student began with a broad topic on humor and health but narrowed it down to humor's correlation with depression. Through their research, the student found that comedians often use humor to cope with past tragedies and that depression affects people differently based on personality. The student was unable to draw definitive conclusions due to the complexity of comparing humor styles and an illness like depression across age groups.

Disability, Hysteria, and Environmental IllnessMy rank as a .docxsalmonpybus
"Disability, Hysteria, and Environmental Illness"
My rank as a Disability Target is a new concept to me. Prior to March of 2018 I was considered perfectly healthy with no disabilities. From November 2017 through February of 2018, I had a cold that persisted for months. I was congested, coughing all the time and having issues falling asleep because I couldn’t breathe while laying down. At first the doctors gave me cold remedies and antibiotics, treating the condition as a severe cold. After a few months, I was sent to an allergist and I was told I have asthma and am allergic to most of the trees in Washington. My skin even reacted to the saline they used as the control for the test. They then had to perform a different, very painful test to be sure the first diagnosis was accurate because I reacted to saline control. In lieu of my recent transition into being a Disability Target, I decided that “Disability, Hysteria, and Environmental Illness”, was the perfect topic to discuss.
I had a hard time accepting this news. I am an athlete, I play the trombone, and I love climbing trees. How is this possible? I’ve never had problems with my lungs or issues around trees. My entire life up until that diagnosis, I had held Agent Rank in the category Disability. I always thought that asthma was a thing people got if they didn’t go outside or get enough exercise. I believed that if they exerted themselves more, then their lungs would get stronger. When we were kids, my friends and I wouldn’t pick the kid in the neighborhood with the inhaler to be on our team because we wanted to win. I can’t even remember his name. In fact, my first thought when the doctor told me I had asthma was, ‘What? I am not nerdy like… whatever his name!’. I even argued with her about my allergy to the trees in Washington because I had spent the last ten years in Alaska around the same tress and never had a problem. Before being diagnosed, while still a Disability Agent, I was an antagonist. My contribution to oppression was Ableism, using the Agent skills of indifference and distancing to ignore and separate myself from people I didn’t view as equal to me. After being diagnosed, I used the Target skills of Survival and Confusion when questioning medical tests that clearly indicated that I have a disability. As Nieto states, “Confusion skills are a response to the stress caused by oppression and the simultaneous denial that exists.” (p. 155) It became clear to me that I was in denial as an Agent and may still be in denial as a Target.
In an unintentional position of power and control, I used minimizing, denying and blaming to oppress that kid in the neighborhood with asthma. I have always thought of myself as a good person, yet how could I think that way without thinking about the impact my actions had on that kid. Now that I am on the other side, I understand it more. It’s hard to describe what it feels like to try to take a breath but not be able to. Your chest even moves up an.

As Nieto states, “Confusion skills are a response to the stress caused by oppression and the simultaneous denial that exists.” (p. 155) It became clear to me that I was in denial as an Agent and may still be in denial as a Target.
In an unintentional position of power and control, I used minimizing, denying and blaming to oppress that kid in the neighborhood with asthma. I have always thought of myself as a good person, yet how could I think that way without thinking about the impact my actions had on that kid. Now that I am on the other side, I understand it more. It’s hard to describe what it feels like to try to take a breath but not be able to. Your chest even moves up an.

2. Objectives In this particular class I have learned a lot about many societies that have impacted my life and most importantly my judgments and beliefs. For this particular project I wanted to observe the lives of a particular group in society which is the : The Mentally-ill.
3. Mentally Ill When I first began to start this particular project I wanted to see how many people characterized this particular group of people. The first place I looked to see some of the attributes associated with the mentally ill was the Webster’s dictionary. When I seen several of the words that appeared when I looked for the definition of the mentally ill, I was shocked and also disturbed.
4. Definition of Mentally-Ill The definition of “Mentally-ill” is having a mental illness. After reading this particular definition I looked at the synonyms associated with this particular definition. Some of the words that followed after the definition were: Unbalanced Paranoid Psychotic Lunatic Demented Deranged
5. Definition of Mentally-Ill cont. As I was looking at all these words listed one after the other a rush of emotions overwhelmed my body and then began to seep through my thoughts. I have always realized the depth in which the mentally-ill is judged and also treated but never felt the amount of emotion I felt while reading these particular words. For a long period of time in my life I have been interested in the lives of the mentally-ill; I have always wondered how they are diagnosed and how they are treated because of their condition. This is what led me into deciding to chose this particular group to study, observe and also get a better understanding of their lifestyles.
6. Main Questions One of my primary questions when I first began to perform this particular project was: -Would I need a license to observe this particular group of people? -Does the patients that reside in the Bernard Fine son Facility perform some daily activities by themselves? What precautions did the employers that worked at this particular facility have to take while working to take care of these patients?
7. Main Questions Part II In what ways are the way the patients interact with each other similar to the way “normal” people interact with one another ? Many of the questions that I held curiosity in before conducting this project did not alter but instead created increased curiosity in my head about the things that I wanted to observe and analyze.
8. Methods I began my research after I put my fears and regrets aside, I wrote down all of the questions that I wanted to be answered including interview questions and questions that I could receive answers from by simply observing. During my entire project I conducted five interviews amongst four of the employers and one interview with one of the patients.
9. Methods Part II During the course of my entire project I had countless informal conversations with the employers which provided me their view on working at this particular. I spent a couple of weeks observing and participating and over a period of time had gradually progressed my methods began to change because I began to interact more with the patients and also the employees.
10. Results The interviews provided me a great sense of knowledge on how it feels to work with this particular group of people and also the amount of reasonability that is needed in order to do this particular job efficiently.
11. Results II In the beginning of the interviewing process I was nervous that my questions would sound “stupid” or make no sense so I began to formulate questions to ask several of the employers and started the interview process the third week that I was present at the facility. The interviews were no longer than twenty minutes and as time progressed I began to feel a sense of comfort amongst the employers and as well as the patients; although I was not allowed in the same room as the patients , I felt a connection with them than what I had when I first started observing there. The patients were aware of my presence and at times would come to the window and try to have a conversation, one of the conversations stood out the most, and it was a conversation with a patient named Jimmy.
12. Results III Jimmy stood out the most to me out of the rest of the patients for many particular reasons; to begin with Jimmy English was well-developed. Jimmy understood many things that the employers would say to him and often responded with completed whole sentences with proper English, although he interacts with the other patients by speaking their unknown language, he was the most aware of his surroundings and also the reason as to why he was placed in this facility. I decided to hold an interview with Jimmy with an employer present in the room to ensure my safety, this interview was the interview I was most nervous for; I had no idea what to ask without the possibility of striking a nerve or rage.
13. Results IV As we sat in the room quietly for five minutes there was a sense of tension and silence took over the entire room. The silence was abruptly interrupted when Jimmy told me that his mother was coming to see him that same day, he said. This was unusual in this particular facility because many of the patient’s families left them at the facility and abandoned them without calling or even visiting an employer had told me. This interview with Jimmy was the most nerve-wracking amongst any of the interviews I had conducted throughout this project because I was warned of Jimmy’s violent history in the facility.
14. Results V During this particular interview Jimmy was telling me about his family, he expressed to me that his mother “loved” him and sent him to the facility because he was having too much “fun”, he told me that she promised to come get him before Christmas comes, but a staff member told me that this promise has been occurring for at least two years. I asked Jimmy about the other patients and his thoughts about living at this particular facility. He simply told me with a smile that they are all friends and then he began to discuss all the fights that he got into while living at this facility. The interview took a turn when he began to ask me questions such as my name, where my family was from and also a promise. He asked me to make a promise with him that I would talk to him every week, I intend to keep this promise by visiting or by making phone calls.
15. Results VI From asking several questions during the many interviews and conversations that occurred during this project, I learned that this society that is often overlooked has many similar attributes that many of us share. I learned that it takes “compassion and patience” in order to try to understand the lives of the mentally-ill, that is something that I learned while conducting a specific interview with one of the employers named Julie. She explained to me that patience is one of the essential qualities you must have in order to understand the mentally-ill and most importantly anyone.
16. Results VII I realized by observing that the mentally-ill shared one thing in common that most of us share which is the significant fear of abandonment. I realized the friendships amongst most of the patients were essential in the way that they interacted and also the way they treated employers and also a stranger which was myself. I realized that the bond that they shared amongst themselves was stronger than any bond I had with some of my friends. Although they got into fights and arguments over trivial things a few hours later they would reunite and become friends once again which was reflected in the conversations they had amongst themselves, although their language seemed unclear to me, they understood each other more than anyone else could.
17. Results VIII While conducting this particular research project I reflected on an activist that has a significant impact on the condition and care of the mentally-ill a woman named Dorothea Dixon.
18. Dorothea Dixon -Dixon was a teacher and also an activist against the way the mentally-ill was being treated. Dixon’s work began when she took a trip to a prison in East Cambridge, she witnessed the mentally-ill being housed in vile conditions, the people that worked with this particular group of people treated them as if they weren't human by not feeding them, beating them and also allowing them to eat their feces because of the lack of sanitary facilities.
19. Dorothea Dixon II After witnessing the unsuitable living conditions that they had to endure she began to ask the many people that were in charge of this particular facility several questions such as: Why are the patients provided heat? The managers simply replied by saying: “The mentally-ill did not deserve heat because they could not feel extreme temperatures”. This particular statement followed in Dixon’s mind as she continued her quest. Dixon’s work to try to change the way we take care of the mentally-ill resulted into passing of a bill to build hospitals for the mentally-ill in thirteen states including New York City.
20. Anthropological Concepts/ Theories This particular class has taught me many things when it came towards conducting this particular project and as well as life. To begin with the many discussions we had about being an interviewer helped alleviate some of the stress that I had before conducting any of the interviews that I have done pertaining to this project.
21. Anthropological Concepts/ Theories While conducting this particular project one of the course readings that connected the most with my studies is the article “Vita” by Joah Biehl.
22. Anthropological Concepts/ Theories This particular article connected the most with my article because it discussed the lives of the mentally-ill and also the way society treats them. This article correlates with my project the most because one of my primary reasons for choosing this particular project is to observe the lives of the mentally ill and also the way they were treated. After reading this particular article my curiosity for this particular group in society increased and also impacted my beliefs of the mentally-ill.
23. Anthropological Concepts/ Theories Along with Joah Biehl I realized the impact abandonment had on the patients that I observed. Most of the patients were waiting for their families to come and visit, their hope of seeing their families again left them with a sense of happiness and also made them feel loved. My interview with Jimmy reflected the impact abandonment had on their actions because as he continued to talk about his mother coming to visit him he would become angry realizing that she never kept her promise to him; which also made me feel sad that he lived with unbroken promises. Realizing the amount of hope that each patient had in their families also made me realized Hope is essential to the potential of living.
24. Problems/Limitations Some challenges that I faced while conducting this particular project was not having the ability to interact more with the patients, because of the rules and regulation within this particular facility. Next time I will try to see if there are ways in which I could be able to interact with the patients more so that I could observe them at a closer level.
