Youth violence is a serious public health problem in Thailand, and yet is poorly understood and is thought to vary considerably between metropolitan and rural areas. This article reports the findings of a cross-sectional study involving 1,170 technical college students who completed self-report questionnaires assessing the frequency of violent acts, antisocial behavior, and angry emotion. There were no differences in self-reported violent activities between metropolitan and rural participants, but those attending colleges in the metropolitan areas reported more acts involving weapons. Scores on the measure of anger expression predicted physical and verbal assault, specifically punching and name calling, suggesting that the implementation of interventions which help students to improve control over anger may be a useful violence prevention approach.

INTRODUCTION We apply capital interplay theory to health inequalities in Switzerland by investigating the interconnected effects of parental cultural, economic and social capitals and personal educational stream on the self-rated health of young Swiss men who live with their parents. METHODS We apply logistic regression modelling to self-rated health in original cross-sectional survey data collected during mandatory conscription of Swiss male citizens in 2010 and 2011 (n = 23,975). RESULTS In comparison with sons whose parents completed mandatory schooling only, sons with parents who completed technical college or university were significantly more likely to report very good or excellent self-rated health. Parental economic capital was an important mediating factor in this regard. Number of books in the home (parental cultural capital), family economic circumstances (parental economic capital) and parental ties to influential people (parental social capital) were also independently associated with the self-rated health of the sons. Although sons in the highest educational stream tended to report better health than those in the lowest, we found little evidence for a health-producing intergenerational transmission of capitals via the education stream of the sons. Finally, the positive association between personal education and self-rated health was stronger among sons with relatively poorly educated parents and stronger among sons with parents who were relatively low in social capital. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides empirical support for the role of capital interplays, social processes in which capitals interpenetrate or co-constitute one another, in the intergenerational production of the health of young men in Switzerland.

A partir de un simulador de vocales denominado Vox, programado en MATLAB, desarrollado originalmente en la Universidad Técnica de Aquisgrán por Malte Kob [1] y mejorado en el Departamento de ICS de la EUITT [2], se pueden generar voces sintéticas. La principal limitación del simulador es que sólo puede generar vocales sintéticas, además la simulación se realiza a partir de parámetros anatómicos y fisiológicos fijos. La estructura actual del programa dificulta la modificación rápida de cualquiera de los parámetros básicos de la misma, circunstancia que podría mejorar mediante una interfaz gráfica. El proyecto consistirá, por un lado, en completar el simulador haciendo posible también la síntesis a partir de los parámetros anatómicos de hombres, mujeres y niños; y por otro, en el diseño e implementación de una interfaz gráfica de usuario que nos permita seleccionar los diferentes parámetros físicos para la simulación y recoger los resultados de la misma de manera más sencilla. Starting from a vowels simulator called Vox, programmed in MATLAB, originally developed in the Technical college of Aquisgrán by Malte Kob [1] and improved in the ICS Department of the EUITT [2], with this programme you can generate synthetic voices. The main limitation of the simulator is that it only can generate synthetic vowels; moreover the simulation is made from anatomical and physiological fixed parameters. The current structure of the programme complicates the quick modification of any of the basic parameters of it, circumstance that could be improved through a graphic interface. On the one hand, the project consists in completing the simulator doing the synthesis possible, from the anatomical woman, men and children parameters; on the other hand, the design and implementation of a graphic user interface, that allow us to select different physical parameters to the simulation and gather the results of it in a simple way.

Esta Tese apresenta um estudo sobre a formação inicial de professores de Química em 10 diferentes universidades públicas brasileiras, estabelecidas em 7 diferentes estados e abrange 217 estudantes de licenciatura. Analisou-se a influência do \"Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência\" - PIBID - na composição do Núcleo Central (NC) da Representação Social (RS; (MOSCOVICI, 1978) desses Licenciandos sobre o ser \"professor de Química\". Para alocar um termo na zona de centralidade de uma RS é necessário identificar o valor simbólico do termo, refletido em sua saliência, a qual é indicada pela relação entre freqüência e Ordem Média de Evocação e, pelo poder associativo, refletido na conexidade e na categorização temática dos termos. Para a coleta de informações, empregou-se um questionário, com 20 questões, das quais apenas 5 fazem referência específica à tarefa de livre associação de palavras a partir do termo indutor \"professor de Química\", enquanto as demais se referem à caracterização do grupo social. As conclusões deste estudo emergiram da comparação entre o NC da RS de alunos participantes do PIBID (118) com aquele de licenciandos que jamais participaram do Programa (99). Para os alunos participantes dos sub-projetos PIBID-QUÍMICA, os termos do NC da RS investigada são: dedicado, experimentação, responsabilidade. Para o sub-grupo não/PIBID, os termos salientes e com conexidade suficiente para expressar sua centralidade na RS são: dedicado, experimentação, inteligente. Portanto, a zona de centralidade da RS dos dois sub-grupos é diferente, devido a dois termos: responsabilidade e inteligente. O primeiro termo destacado é exclusivo do NC do sub-grupo PIBID, enquanto o último ocorre apenas no NC do sub-grupo não/PIBID. Vale salientar que para o sub-grupo PIBID o termo experimentação apresenta saliência e conexidade expressivos e, para o outro sub-grupo, o termo mais saliente e conexo é dedicado, o que reflete uma diferença qualitativa na organização interna da estrutura das RS, resultado que os caracteriza como diferentes grupos sociais, cada um com uma RS para o ser \"professor de Química\". A presença de termos diferentes na zona de centralidade das RS indica que o processo de formação desenvolvido no âmbito do PIBID expressa a importância da vivência das diferentes práticas pedagógicas junto à Escola Básica durante a formação inicial para a docência em Química, o que não ocorre para o sub-grupo não/PIBID até o momento dos estágios docentes, que demoram muito para acontecer nas Licenciaturas convencionais. No caso do sub-grupo não/PIBID, é forte a presença de termos ligados à idéia de \"vocação\" na docência, expressando aspectos históricos resistentes à mudança no processo de formação de professores.

Thirteen slips of paper with fragments of handwritten alphabetical lists created by Isaac Smith presumably in his capacity as Harvard Librarian. Most of the entries are surnames or single-word subjects. For example, one slip with "M" entries includes: milway, miracles, miraculous, Mitchell, and Mitchell. Some of the lists have struck-through words or have entries annotated with numbers and the abbreviations "o" and "bk." The verso of one leaf has a brief, undated note regarding the transfer of books between Mr. Hilliard and Mr. Smith.

Thaddeus Mason Harris, who served as interim librarian of the Harvard College Library in 1787 and as its librarian from 1791 through 1793, is believed to have created these notes while helping compile the library's first printed subject-based catalog. The catalog, Catalogus Bibliothecae Harvardianae Cantabrigiae Nov-Anglorum, was published in 1790 and represented a significant change in approach to the cataloging of the library's collections, which had formerly been cataloged alphabetically. These documents, many of them on small scraps of paper, contain the titles and bibliographic information of books on a range of topics, from "Anatomici" to "Rhetorica."
