Short Article One's Own Face is Hard to Ignore.Marie Delchambre - unknowndetails
One's own face possesses two properties that make it prone to grab attention: It is a face, and, in addition, it is a self-referential stimulus. The question of whether the self-face is actually an especially attention-grabbing stimulus was addressed by using a face– name interference paradigm. We investigated whether interference from a flanking self-face on the processing of a target classmate's name was stronger than interference from a classmate's flanking face on the processing of one's own name as the target. (...) In a control condition a third familiar face served as the flanker for both decisions from the participant's own name and from the classmate's name. The presentation of the self-face as a flanker produced significantly more interference on the identification of a classmate's name than the presentation of that classmate's face did on the identification of one's own name. This result was due to the interfering power of the self-face and not to a particular resistance of one's name to interfering facial stimuli. We argue that the emotional value or the high familiarity of one's own face may explain its attention-grabbing property. (shrink)

Understanding the Imitation Deficit in Autism May Lead to a More Specific Model of Autism as an Empathy Disorder.Tony Charman - 2001 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 25 (1):29-30.details
Preston & de Waal are understandably cautious in applying their model to autism. They emphasise multiple cognitive impairments in autism, including prefrontal-executive, cerebellar-attention, and amygdala-emotion recognition deficits. Further empirical examination of imitation ability in autism may reveal deficits in the neural and cognitive basis of perception-action mapping that have a specific relation to the empathic deficit.

The Neural Correlates of Visual Self-Recognition.Christel Devue & Serge Brédart - 2011 - Consciousness and Cognition 20 (1):40-51.details
This paper presents a review of studies that were aimed at determining which brain regions are recruited during visual self-recognition, with a particular focus on self-face recognition. A complex bilateral network, involving frontal, parietal and occipital areas, appears to be associated with self-face recognition, with a particularly high implication of the right hemisphere. Results indicate that it remains difficult to determine which specific cognitive operation is reflected by each recruited brain area, in part due to the variability of used control (...) stimuli and experimental tasks. A synthesis of the interpretations provided by previous studies is presented. The relevance of using self-recognition as an indicator of self-awareness is discussed. We argue that a major aim of future research in the field should be to identify more clearly the cognitive operations induced by the perception of the self-face, and search for dissociations between neural correlates and cognitive components.

Science of Consciousness in Philosophy of Cognitive Science
Self-Consciousness, Self-Agency, and Schizophrenia.Tilo T. J. Kircher & Dirk T. Leube - 2003 - Consciousness and Cognition 12 (4):656-669.details
Empirical approaches on topics such as consciousness, self-awareness, or introspective perspective, need a conceptual framework so that the emerging, still unconnected findings can be integrated and put into perspective. We introduce a model of self-consciousness derived from phenomenology, philosophy, the cognitive, and neurosciences. We will then give an overview of research data on one particular aspect of our model, self-agency, trying to link findings from cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Finally, we will expand on pathological aspects of self-agency, and in particular (...) on psychosis in schizophrenia. We show, that a deficient self-monitoring system underlies, in part, hallucinations and formal thought (language) disorder in schizophrenia. We argue, that self-consciousness is a valid construct and can be studied with the instruments of cognitive and neuroscience. (shrink)

Action Identity: Evidence From Self-Recognition, Prediction, and Coordination.Günther Knoblich & Rüdiger Flach - 2003 - Consciousness and Cognition 12 (4):620-632.details
Prior research suggests that the action system is responsible for creating an immediate sense of self by determining whether certain sensations and perceptions are the result of one's own actions. In addition, it is assumed that declarative, episodic, or autobiographical memories create a temporally extended sense of self or some form of identity. In the present article, we review recent evidence suggesting that action (procedural) knowledge also forms part of a person's identity, an action identity, so to speak. Experiments that (...) addressed self-recognition of past actions, prediction, and coordination provide ample evidence for this assumption. The phenomena observed in these experiments can be explained by the assumption that observing an action results in the activation of action representations, the more so, when the action observed corresponds to the way in which the observer would produce it.

Self-Specific Priming Effect.Alessia Pannese & Joy Hirsch - 2010 - Consciousness and Cognition 19 (4):962-968.details
Priority of the "self" is thought to be evolutionarily advantageous. However, evidence for this priority has been sparse. In this study, subjects performed a gender categorization task on self- and non-self target faces preceded by either congruent or incongruent periliminal or subliminal primes. We found that subliminal primes induced a priming effect only on self target faces. This discovery of a self-specific priming effect suggests that functional specificity for faces may include timing as well as spatial adaptations.
The Processing of Auditory and Visual Recognition of Self-Stimuli.Susan M. Hughes & Shevon E. Nicholson - 2010 - Consciousness and Cognition 19 (4):1124-1134.details
This study examined self-recognition processing in both the auditory and visual modalities by determining how comparable hearing a recording of one's own voice was to seeing photograph of one's own face. We also investigated whether the simultaneous presentation of auditory and visual self-stimuli would either facilitate or inhibit self-identification. Ninety-one participants completed reaction-time tasks of self-recognition when presented with their own faces, own voices, and combinations of the two. Reaction time and errors made when responding with both the right and (...) left hand were recorded to determine if there were lateralization effects on these tasks. Our findings showed that visual self-recognition for facial photographs appears to be superior to auditory self-recognition for voice recordings. Furthermore, a combined presentation of one's own face and voice appeared to inhibit rather than facilitate self-recognition and there was a left-hand advantage for reaction time on the combined-presentation tasks.

Split-Brain Reveals Separate but Equal Self-Recognition in the Two Cerebral Hemispheres.Lucina Q. Uddin, Jan Rayman & Eran Zaidel - 2005 - Consciousness and Cognition 14 (3):633-640.details
To assess the ability of the disconnected cerebral hemispheres to recognize images of the self, a split-brain patient was tested using morphed self-face images presented to one visual hemifield at a time while making "self/other" judgments. The performance of the right and left hemispheres of this patient as assessed by a signal detection method was not significantly different, though a measure of bias did reveal hemispheric differences. The right and left hemispheres of this patient independently and equally possessed the ability (...) to self-recognize, but only the right hemisphere could successfully recognize familiar others. This supports a modular concept of self-recognition and other-recognition, separately present in each cerebral hemisphere. (shrink)
Self-Memory Biases in Explicit and Incidental Encoding of Trait Adjectives.David J. Turk, Sheila J. Cunningham & C. Neil Macrae - 2008 - Consciousness and Cognition 17 (3):1040-1045.details
An extensive literature has demonstrated that encoding information in a self-referential manner enhances subsequent memory performance. This 'self-reference effect' is generally elicited in paradigms that require participants to evaluate the self-descriptiveness of personality characteristics. Extending work of this kind, the current research explored the possibility that explicit evaluative processing is not a necessary precondition for the emergence of this effect. Rather, responses to self cues may enhance item encoding even in the absence of explicit evaluative instructions. We explored this hypothesis (...) by testing memory for items encoded in either an evaluative or relational context. The relational context was achieved by requesting participants to report the spatial relationship between target stimuli, and visual or verbal referent cues. The results revealed a self-referent memory advantage, regardless of the encoding context or triggering cue. The theoretical implications of these findings are considered. (shrink)

The Rubber Hand Illusion in a Mirror.Marco Bertamini, Nausicaa Berselli, Carole Bode, Rebecca Lawson & Li Ting Wong - 2011 - Consciousness and Cognition 20 (4):1108-1119.details
In the rubber hand illusion one's hand is hidden, and a fake hand is visible. We explored the situation in which visual information was available indirectly in a mirror. In the mirror condition, compared to the standard condition , we found no reduction of the RHI following synchronised stimulation, as measured by crossmanual pointing and by a questionnaire. We replicated the finding with a smaller mirror that prevented visibility of the face. The RHI was eliminated when a wooden block replaced (...) the fake hand, or when the hand belonged to another person or mannequin. We conclude that awareness of the reflection is the critical variable, despite the distant visual localisation of the hand in a mirror and the third-person perspective. Stimuli seen in a mirror activate the same response as stimuli seen in peripersonal space, through knowledge that they are near one's body. (shrink)
Where in the Brain is the Self?Todd E. Feinberg & Julian Paul Keenan - 2005 - Consciousness and Cognition 14 (4):671-678.details
Localizing the self in the brain has been the goal of consciousness research for centuries. Recently, there has been an increase in attention to the localization of the self. Here we present data from patients suffering from a loss of self in an attempt to understand the neural correlates of consciousness. Focusing on delusional misidentification syndrome , we find that frontal regions, as well as the right hemisphere appear to play a significant role in DMS and DMS related disorders. These (...) data are placed in the context of neuroimaging findings. (shrink)

Self-Consciousness in Non-Communicative Patients.Steven Laureys, Fabien Perrin & Serge Brédart - 2007 - Consciousness and Cognition 16 (3):722-741.details
The clinical and para-clinical examination of residual self-consciousness in non-communicative severely brain damaged patients remains exceptionally challenging. Passive presentation of the patient's own name and own face are known to be effective attention-grabbing stimuli when clinically assessing consciousness at the patient's bedside. Event-related potential and functional neuroimaging studies using such self-referential stimuli are currently being used to disentangle the cognitive hierarchy of self-processing. We here review neuropsychological, neuropathological, electrophysiological and neuroimaging studies using the own name and own face paradigm obtained (...) in conscious waking, sleep, pharmacological coma, pathological coma and related disorders of consciousness. Based on these results we discuss what we currently do and do not know about the functional significance of the neural network involved in "automatic" and "conscious" self-referential processing.

My new boss came and told me what my schedule will be on the new job. The first 2 weeks I'll be in training mode, and I'll be working 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday. Then the third week I'll move to my permanent schedule which will be Monday through Thursday 8am to 5pm. Saturday 7am to 4pm. That will leave me with Friday and Sunday off. I'm not a big fan of having split days off like that, but I knew when I took the job that I would have split days off, so I'm not complaining too much. Plus now that I have paid days off I can take Saturday off and have a 3 day weekend.
I got my packet of paper work from work in the mail last night. It included a lot of papers that I had to fill out and sign. I don't think I've ever had to fill out that many papers to work some where. I know I didn't have anything close to that when I started here as a temp. Anyway, I sat down and filled out all the paperwork last night. It took a little over an hour to complete it all.
I spoke with my new supervisor this morning. She asked me if I had gotten my paperwork yet. I told her I had not, but it should be arriving via Fed-Ex today some time, though it may actually be tomorrow before it makes its way to me.

I was getting really tired of it, but after sleeping it off some more today I seem to be feeling a little better. I called in to work this morning because I was feeling awful when I first woke up. Now that I'm feeling a little better I'm going to try and do some updates to the blog today. Or at least get the entries further along than they were before.

Our research focuses on the dynamics and physical mechanisms of high latitude atmospheric processes. We study Arctic and Antarctic processes using high-resolution regional and global numerical models such as NCAR's Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and the Model for the Prediction Across Scales (MPAS). Since these locations are relatively data-sparse regions of the globe, we also study atmospheric predictability through ensemble data assimilation techniques using tools such as the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) to better understand how to extend information provided by observations to improve numerical models.
MAP's primary interests include i) developing new techniques and novel methodologies for data assimilation and ensemble prediction; ii) applying these techniques to global scale to convective scale modeling systems to improve predictive skill; iii) improving the understanding of atmospheric predictability and dynamics from global to convective scales; iv) transitioning research and development into operations (R2O).
Our research is primarily focused on large-scale climate dynamics in both the atmosphere and ocean and all around the world. We focus on using observations (e.g., station data, satellite products, and reanalysis datasets) and climate models (both designed experiments and already-existing model output) for our studies. We use a variety of statistical approaches and forecasting techniques in our research with the goal of applying the results to operations in the science and in the private sector. Thus, graduate students and post-docs studying in this group have a well-rounded, application-oriented research experience.
The University of Oklahoma group for Boundary Layer Integrated Sensing and Simulation (OU-BLISS) is a team of faculty and researchers with an interest in multi-faceted studies of the boundary layer. Through a variety of instrumentation and simulations, we seek to understand the dynamic nature of the lowest level of the atmosphere.
The Climate, Hydrology, Ecosystems, Weather (CHEWe) research group is led by Dr. Jeffrey Basara. The goal of the research group is (1) to increase our understanding of the complex interactions within the energy and water cycles from local to global scales and (2) communicate and distribute new insights to the scientific community, relevant stakeholders, and the public.


We have chosen for quite a full set up for photographing. We believe that being able to document this journey has great importance. Also we can used this to go deeper into certain subjects. Below you find the actual gear and descriptions of our camera and accessories on tour.
To be able to make high quality photos along the way and to be able to really capture moments and document our journey. The camera has a great quality and will produce high quality photos. This way we can document this great journey and have high quality images forever. This implies a greater weight which we are willing to carry. Martin will carry this setup.
A camera for situations where there is no time to set up the main camera or when the situation asks for a smaller camera. This camera Susanne will carry mainly. This camera is charged through USB which is our main choice of power source. It will still produce good quality photos, there is just less optical functions.

Warrington based multiple operator Mark Condliffe has taken on his third site with Star Pubs & Bars, The Red Lion in Moore. Star Pubs & Bars is investing £240,000 with Mark and his partner in the project, Neil Roughshedge, in a major upgrade of the pub to create the best outdoor space in the area.
Originally a free-trade operator with The 101 Wine Bar in Stockton Heath, Mark also runs two other successful Star Pubs & Bars sites, the Farmer's Arms at Fearnhead and The Hatton Arms in Hatton.
The pub will be closed during the first three-weeks of the five-week refurbishment with the intention of unveiling the pub's stunning outdoor courtyard area in time for the May bank holiday weekend. 10 new jobs will be created on the back of the investment.
Being local, Mark remembered the pub in its heyday 25 years ago and could see its potential. He said : "The way Heineken is investing in its pubs is good news and provided us with an opportunity to create something unique. 25 years ago, beer gardens weren't as important as they are nowadays. Today the emphasis is on alfresco dining.
David Pritchard, regional operations director for Star Pubs & Bars said: "The investment will take the Red Lion to a new level and make it stand out from other pubs in the area.
"With all the new housing being built near Moore, there is a real need to create a local community pub where new residents and existing residents can get to know one another.

Q: List of all apps in SharePoint Online tenant I am trying to get a list of all apps installed across all site collections in my tenant. Not sure how to do it exactly as I am new to this. Any help would be appreciated. I have around 40K site collections in the tenant.

A: Using the below PnP PowerShell command, we can get all apps from the tenant :
Get-PnPApp

This will return all available apps from the tenant app catalog. It will list the installed version in the current site.
Reference URL :
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-pnp/get-pnpapp?view=sharepoint-ps
Update:
It seems in the new tenant or in the newly created site Get-PnPApp does not work - we may receive the below error:
{"error":{"code":"-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ResourceNotFoundException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"Cannot find resource for the request SP.RequestContext.curr
ent/web/sitecollectionappcatalog/."}}}

For this to get it fixed, contact to Microsoft support.

*Only fire up the async task once.

*Store the progress dialog reference as a member in the async task object instead of activity so it does not get overwritten by someone else.

Curling Career
How did she start curling?
Being born into a family of professional curlers, Jones was passionate about curling from an early age.
She was particularly interested in volleyball as well as curling. One day, her volleyball coach asked her if she wanted to be a volleyballer or curler. She thought for a bit and then chose a curler.
Jones started to focus more on curling since then. Jennifer participated in her first Junior Championship in 1990. She was 15 at that time. Her team was coached by her dad, which included her sister in the team.
Though they didn't win, it was like a confirmation for Jones that she wanted to do curling and win these tournaments. Shortly, the Curler won three provincial junior championships and a national junior championship.
Getting that perfect shot
In the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts, Jennifer participated with Cathey Gauthier, Jill Officer, and Cathy Overton.
In the competition, Jonas was last to make a shot, and her team was already losing. The burden of the win was on her shoulders but the possibility of it happening was very low. To win, she had to shoot perfectly.
It was a very nerve-wracking situation, but soon it became joy as Jones got that perfect shot, scoring 4 points, and her team won.
It was the perfect shot everyone talked about, and people started appreciating and seeing the potential in Jennifer Jones.
The bittersweet curling season
After that perfect shot, Jones got a chance to go to Olympics. First, she was qualified for the Olympic trial and had to win the trial to represent Canada in the Olympics.
Jones was in the team with 2000 World Champion, Georgina Wheatcroft but they had a disappointing performance at the trial, and Jones couldn't make it to the Olympics.
She then participated in several other international tournaments but couldn't win any medals.
The record-setting victory
After a bittersweet curling season, Jennifer proved to everyone who she was. She set on records by winning several awards in national and international tournaments.
The Canadian has also won the Manitoba provincial championship 11 times. Also, Jones has appeared for a total of 16 Tournament of Heart appearances. She had made her debut appearance in 2002.
Jones is record-setting Curler to make appearances as well as winning the games at the Tournament of Hearts. She has won four gold medals, one silver, and two bronze medals in the tournament.
Apart from this, she has made six appearances in the World Championships, where she has won four medals.
Also, the Canadian won two gold medals parting a decade, one in 2008 and the other in 2018. She also won a silver medal in 2015 and bronze in 2011.
First Olympics appearance and winning gold at Sochi Olympics
Jennifer was making international records, and there were so many expectations for her in the 2013 Olympics.
She initially failed to make it to the Olympics, but this time she passed the Olympic trial and made it to the Olympics.
Jennifer and her team remained one of the strongest teams in the game. They paved their way to the semifinals beating Britain and had a face-off with Sweden in the finale.

Jones's team made it to winning the competition and bringing home the long-awaited Olympic gold medal.
It was Canada's second gold medal in Olympic women's curling after 1998. Following her contribution, Jennifer Jones was voted the most outstanding Canadian women's curler of 2019.

Jennifer Jones is married to Brent George Laing. Brent is a world-famous curling champion.
The curling couples had a secret relationship before they publically revealed that they were in the relationship. It was a simple love story that started with curling.
Since both have a similar career path, both crossed each other's roads several times. Sometimes, they would be competing in the same event and practicing curling together.
Both knew each other professionally, but they never thought they would end up marrying one another. Liang was impressed by the performance of Jones in the Sochi Olympics.

However, there were some rumors about them. But, Jones became pregnant with his child, and they could not hide their relationship anymore.

I'm holding on posting while events in Turkey continue to pan out. That even Con Coughlin (writing no doubt on behalf of MoD sources) can question Turkey's continued membership of NATO demonstrates that the obvious will eventually penetrate even the mental armour of the MoD mandarin mind.
With a majority of Turks supporting Erdogan and wanting an Islamic Republic, it's obvious that Turkey is no friend of Europe's.
But then they do say "hug your friends close and your enemies closer."

I'll gladly donate though it should be said piano wire is still the cheaper option.

CHILCOT INQUIRY - ANSWER FOR IRAQ."


This summer, we've been having a field day making homemade ice cream. Here is one of my husband's favorite flavors, Butter Pecan Ice Cream. He loves anything with pecans; pralines, pecan pie, candied pecans, etc. You get the picture. So when I came across a recipe in the Southern Living Secrets of the South's Best Barbecue cookbook, I knew I had to try it.
This recipe makes 1 quart. So it's perfect for smaller ice cream makers. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can use the following method.
Pour ice cream mixture into a quart sized freezer bag. Seal tightly, allowing as little air to remain in the bag as possible. Too much air inside may force the bag open during shaking. Place this bag inside another quart size freezer bag, again leaving as little air inside as possible and sealing well. Put the two bags inside the gallon size bag and fill the bag with ice, and sprinkle salt on top. Remove all the air again and seal the bag. Wrap the bag in the towel or put your gloves on, and shake and massage the bag, making sure the ice surrounds the cream mixture. Five to eight minutes is adequate time for the mixture to freeze into ice cream.
Temper eggs by gradually adding hot mixture to the eggs in a bowl. Return eggs to saucepan with remaining liquid. Stir constantly.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thermometer reads 160F and mixture thickens.
Stir in milk, vanilla, cream, and pecans.
Pour into ice cream maker or use freezer bag method above. Freeze according to maker's instructions.

Harry Styles reveals what 'Watermelon Sugar' is about and it is NSFW
Well this is very bold...
Deirdre Molumby
Harry Styles has spoken out about what his single 'Watermelon Sugar' is really about - though most people probably already had an idea...
Harry Styles was performing at a concert in Nashville last Friday when he talked about the song.
'Watermelon Sugar' was released last May.
It proved a big hit for Harry Styles, winning the Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year at the Brit Awards.
It was also Styles' first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The lyrics are quite suggestive, as they go: " Tastes like strawberries // On a summer evenin' // And it sounds just like a song // I want more berries // And that summer feelin' // It's so wonderful and warm/"
Elsewhere the song goes: "I just wanna taste it, I just wanna taste it."
In a video from his gig last weekend, shared by TikTok user @beatricetpwk, Harry Styles explains: "This song is about… It doesn't really matter what it's about."
Persuaded by the crowd, he continues: "It's about, uh, the sweetness of life… It's also about the female orgasm but that's totally different, it's not really relevant."
Watch the moment here.

A little sweet but paired with a bunch of local salumi at lunch, it worked.
Getting ready for #latkes & #lambrusco. How better to begin the holiday? Happy Hanukkah everybody!
Uno dei migliori lambrusco in circolazione..! Fruttato, CO2 molto equilibrata, si sente ma non dà fastidio, maledettamente beverino!
Perfumey and a tad coarse, but the bubbles flow smoothly, and it's ultimately not too shabby as a complement to pasta.
Dark red sweet dryfruit to the nose. Soft fruity medium.
Very aromatic and well balanced. Paired nicely with savory pastas and salumi.


Many public employees and retirees in Illinois are (understandably) extremely agitated by the ongoing discussions about public pension reform in Illinois. Today, I was forwarded yet another email by someone concerned about recent comments made by Illinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford.
In a nutshell, some in the legislature are kicking around an idea to get around the Illinois constitution's prohibition against "impairing" retirement benefits by offering employees a choice: pay higher premiums in order to keep existing benefits, or switch into a less generous plan.
It is obvious why this is not satisfying to public employees – after all, it is their benefits that might get cut, or their contributions that may go up. But setting aside all the questions about what we "should" or "should not" do, I think there is tremendous logic to having the legislature pass a law in order to get a more definitive ruling on what the state "can" or "cannot" do. Yes, I agree that it is really unfortunate that we may have to pass a law to find out exactly where the limits of the impairment clause are, but that appears to be the hand we have been dealt. But figuring out where Illinois Courts will draw this line is exceedingly important.
Why? As I have noted before, when employers provide employee benefits, they are not doing so just to be nice. They are doing so to attract, retain and motivate employees. In short, it is one component of the compensation package. In an environment that is disciplined by market forces, employers will only offer employees pensions if the average employee values the pension at more than it costs the employer to provide. Otherwise, both would be made better off by paying cash. As I have also written, however, it is not clear how well this market discipline works for public employees.
The major problem we have in Illinois is that we may be in the worst of all worlds, namely, one in which the pension benefits are indeed fully protected by the constitution, but where the perception of political risk means that employees value them far less then they will actually cost to provide. If this is the case, then nobody wins! Taxpayers are on the hook for the full cost, but employees do not value the benefits fully. So the total cost of providing public services goes up!
We would all be better off to have legal clarity. If the state courts rule that the benefits are protected, then public employees and retirees can go back to valuing their benefits at full value (which will help with recruitment, retention, and general happiness), and the state can move on to figuring out how else to manage its serious fiscal problems. If the court rules that forcing higher contributions does not violate the contribution, then we can hopefully have a sensible conversation about what the optimal mix of wages and benefits are going forward.
Either outcome would be far preferable to the current situation.


What does the New Urban Agenda say about mental health?
The New Urban Agenda is an 'action-oriented document which will set global standards of achievement in sustainable urban development, rethinking the way we build, manage, and live in cities through drawing together cooperation with committed partners, relevant stakeholders, and urban actors at all levels of government as well as the private sector.' It was adopted at the Habitat III conference in Quito in October 2016 and one of its stated priorities is to improve human health. So what does this mean for mental health?
The 'shared vision' proposes that all inhabitants, without discrimination, are able to inhabit and produce just, safe, healthy, accessible, affordable, resilient and sustainable cities that foster prosperity and quality of life for all. The vision prioritizes people-centered, age and gender-responsive, and integrated approaches to urban development that specifically take into account the needs of women, children and youth, older persons and persons with disabilities, migrants, indigenous peoples and local communities. This is summarised in the document's principles which talk about enhancing liveability, health and wellbeing, safety and public participation, eliminating discrimination, and 'adopting healthy lifestyles in harmony with nature'.
Where is mental health explicitly mentioned?
What commitments within the New Urban Agenda will specifically help address urban mental health in the context of urban design?
With a focus on integrated work between planning, transport, and other departments, clear support for multi-stakeholder partnerships, and an explicit acknowledgment of the impact of cities on mental health, the New Urban Agenda offers interesting potential for investments and action in urban design to improve mental health.
