What is migration? Who are the people that migrate, and what drives them to do so?

The developments in materials science and engineering, especially in the field of composites and polymers, have extended the scope of application of such materials in modern industrial construction. This article presents polyamide/ aluminium helping hand brackets, designed for use in rainscreens (a.k.a. ventilated façades ) and metal and glass systems. The main purpose of this study was to assess the loadbearing capacity, safety and durability of these elements through laboratory tests and numerical analyses. The laboratory tests were carried out on a three-dimensional test stand. Boundary conditions and the applied loading represented real conditions on the façade (e.g. a typical wind pressure load acting on the façade was used). Next, the experimental results were used to build a representative numerical model. Finite Element analysis was utilised to obtain a true representation of the actual behaviour of the analysed brackets subjected to various loads, taking into account the aluminium/ polyamide interaction. Constitutive behaviour of both materials, polyamide and aluminium alloy, was represented by a linear elastic model. The proposed modelling methodology was validated through full-scale load tests up to failure. The numerical model can be further used to predict the stress and strain fields in newly designed brackets subjected to any type of loading.

Previous research has shown the importance of time perspectives (TP) in future-oriented decision making. However, the possible associations between time perspectives and seeking out psychological help in need have not been examined extensively, especially taking further influencing factors into consideration. Therefore, this study aimed to assess associations between personal time perspectives, stigma, socio-economic factors, and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help (ATTSPPH) in a sample of adults in the general population in Hungary (N=273) aged 18-84 (mean=28.47, SD= 10.31). Multivariate regression analyses found that attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help were inversely associated with stigma, and residing outside of the capital city and positively associated with female gender. None of the time perspectives were associated with help-seeking. The results are discussed regarding the importance of mental health in Hungary.

This study examined the relationship between gender role conflict and attitude towards psychological help-seeking. This study involved 120 university students from a university. Gender Role Conflict Scale was used to measure gender role conflict and Attitude towards Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form was used to measure attitude towards psychological help-seeking. The results found there is a significant negative relationship between gender role conflict and attitude towards seeking psychological help. The results suggest that it is essential for mental health professionals to recognise the impact of gender roles on the counselling process.
