Are they looking for support? Mental health and trauma awareness as predictors of mental health help-seeking behaviour among young adults and adolescents in Bangladesh, Egypt, Ghan... by Maxwell Peprah Opoku, Rahemeen Yusuf, Shakila Nur, Ebenezer Mensah Gyimah, Lilian Frimpomaa, Eleana Charalambous, Yasmin A. Salem, Mokhtar A. Elkayal, Aisha A. Abosrea, Tawasol Babiker, Mahra Murad Alblooshi, Erin September, Nada Obaid, Daniel Miezah, Ashraf Moustafa

“…This stagnation may be attributed to limited research on the underlying causes of mental health issues, such as trauma, as well as a lack of awareness regarding mental health disorders and help-seeking behaviours. The current study seeks to mainstream the understanding of mental health disorders by investigating the impact of trauma awareness and mental health disorders on the variance in help-seeking behaviours for mental health in non-Western contexts. …”

The rheology of the geological medium of interblock seismically active faults in the continental lithosphere: a key to understanding the generation of the strongest earthquakes in... by S. I. Sherman, E. A. Gorbunova

“…In the period when a future earthquake source develops and grows, the physical properties of the host rocks are assumed to change substantially, and both the viscosity and the relative shear strength decreases. At the moment of time when a strong earthquake takes place, the viscosity of the rocks in its focus is at its minimum value and thus favorable for high-amplitude interblock shearing under the current regional stress and unchanged geodynamic factors. …”
