The current article investigates how political violence can increase psychological stress and how it can tear down the social structure of a community. At the same time, we examine how individuals and communities are surprisingly resilient to the on-going conflict. This phenomenon leads us to this research question: How does the exposure to political violence affect people at an individual level? More precisely, this article explores what relationship we can find between political violence and individual mental health by examining the participation these individuals have in a community, and also by studying the attitudes or behaviors they had towards transitional justice and democracy, in a setting of a very long term armed conflict. A theoretical contribution of this project is the integration made between theoretical psychological frameworks and studies in favor of peace. Surveys of 184 individuals reveal certain trends, such as the one that shows that different types of violence are associated to different types of mental health and how these people solve problems. In addition, this article shows that despite the wide-spread actions taken to support democracy and transitional justice, in general, many Colombians are not satisfied with the current, national-level initiatives taken by the government. The results suggest that there is a need to work more deeply with people having mental health problems. The intervention that could be made in this aspect will show a decentralized process more sensitive and accurate to the process of peace the government is looking for in the contexts where these people live. ; El presente artículo explora por un lado que la violencia política tiene el potencial de amenazar el bienestar de los individuos y romper el tejido social, pero por otro lado, que los individuos y comunidades son resilientes frente a ella. De este modo, planteamos la siguiente pregunta de investigación: ¿Cómo las experiencias de violencia política afectan a las personas a nivel personal? Específicamente este artículo explorará las relaciones entre la violencia, salud mental, participación ciudadana, y actitudes hacia la justicia transicional y democracia dentro un contexto de conflicto armado prolongado. Una contribución teórica de este proyecto es la integración de dos marcos teóricos de psicología y estudios de paz. En el pilotaje se realizaron 184 encuestas con individuos, los cuales revelan determinados patrones. Por ejemplo, que diferentes tipos de violencia están relacionados con diferentes problemas de salud mental y maneras de enfrentar situaciones difíciles. El artículo también revela que a pesar del apoyo ciudadano hacia la democracia y la justicia transicional, muchos colombianos no están satisfechos con las iniciativas actuales que se adelantan desde el nivel nacional. Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de desarrollar intervenciones de salud mental y construcción de paz que son más sensibles al contexto y menos centralizadas.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the food system, increasing barriers to food access and exacerbating food insecurity across the U.S. The Virginia state government initiated a stay-at- home order to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Prior to the pandemic, the Virginia Fresh Match (VFM) Nutrition Incentive Network partnered with food retail outlets to provide Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants point-of-purchase incentives (e.g., Double Up Food Bucks, SNAP Match), which function as matching discounts on fresh fruits and vegetables (F/V). These can enable participants to increase their purchasing power and potentially reduce food insecurity. In response to COVID-19, VFM removed the limit on incentive discounts (previously $101) to further incentivize the purchase of fresh F/V by SNAP participants. This study sought to characterize the purchasing patterns of SNAP participants at a food co-operative (co-op) partnered with VFM before and during the Virginia stay-at-home order. A total of 654 transactions at the co-op were included. Independent t-tests were utilized to determine differences before and during the order. The results indicated a significant increase in the mean incentive discount received during the order (pre-shutdown=$3.95, inter-shutdown=$5.01, p=0.035); however, simultaneously there was a decrease in the mean number of fresh F/V purchased (pre-shutdown=3.08, inter-shutdown=2.39, p=0.015). Although F/V purchases decreased, the presence of unlimited point-of-purchase incentives at the food co-op may have helped prevent a greater decline in fresh F/V purchases and helped increase access to fresh F/V in this population during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. ; Food Insecurity and Nutrition Incentive program grant through the National Institute for Food and Agriculture of the USDA [USDA-FINI-006104] ; Published version ; This study was funded by a Food Insecurity and Nutrition Incentive program grant through the National Institute for Food and Agriculture of the USDA (USDA-FINI-006104).

The Hall Effect and magnetization of Heusler alloys Co2YSi (Y = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) were measured at T = 4.2 K and 300 K in magnetic fields of up to 100 kOe as well as the temperature dependence of the electroresistivity from 4.2 to 300 K. The normal and anomalous Hall coefficients, saturation magnetization, residual resistivity, type and concentration of current carriers and their mobility were obtained. It was demonstrated that there is a clear correlation between the electronic and magnetic parameters obtained, depending on the number of valence electrons z, at the transition from Co2TiSi (z=26) to Co2NiSi (z=32). The observed peculiarities of electronic and magnetic parameters may be due to the appearance of the states of the half-metallic ferromagnet and/or spin gapless semiconductor. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. ; This work was carried out as part of the state task of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science (themes "Spin",No. AAAA-A18-118020290104-2) with partial support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (projects Nos. 18-32-00686 and 18-02-00739) and the Government of the Russian Federation (Act No. 211, contract No. 02.A03.21.0006).

Three editions known. Two have sale date on title page: 28th of May, 1814, one of which has 18 pages. The other has 19 pages with slightly longer descriptions of lots 34 and 41 and significantly longer descriptions of lots 35 and 42. A third edition has sale date given as: 1st of June, 1814 (18 pages). The text of the June 1 catalog matches the shorter edition of the catalog with May 28 sale date (other than the dates given on title page and p. [5]). Presumably, then, the 19 page edition with the May sale date is the earliest of the three. ; Lugt, ; Place of sale: London. ; Date of sale: June 1, 1814; originally scheduled for May 28, 1814. ; Mode of access: Internet. ; Library's copy bound with: Christie, Mr. A catalogue of the genuine, capital, and valuable collection of select and beautiful cabinet pictures, the undoubted works of the most celebrated esteemed Dutch and Flemish masters .

Abstract
This article seeks to link the processes of gentrification in Montreal's Mile End neighbourhood with its musical history over the past twenty years. A selective chronology of independent music from the neighbourhood is described, beginning with the early years of instrumental rock group Godspeed You Black Emperor! and concluding with the recent output of electronic music label Arbutus Records, via the commercial breakthrough of Arcade Fire's Funeral album in 2004. Through a discussion of the ideas of Henri Lefebvre, Sharon Zukin and David Ley's interpretation of the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, it is argued that the music produced in the neighbourhood can be seen as unified with its physical spaces in a number of ways under contemporary capitalism; in their parallel trajectories of progression and renewal and in the way they both construct and are constructed by notions of 'place'. While it is argued that the dynamism of the music scene in Mile End has been intimately connected to broader processes of urban economic restructuring, the article also highlights the challenges an increasingly gentrified Mile End faces in maintaining its status as a fertile centre of cultural production.
