Good Behaviour

When your child has ADHD, the first step in a behaviour modification programme is to observe your child’s behaviour and identify the behaviour you want to change. One of the advantages of medication is that it allows children to be more successful in a behaviour modification programme. Should you need help when working on a behaviour modification programme, do not hesitate to consult your doctor and ask for a referral to a psychologist. This chapter describes behaviour modification in the management of ADHD, including encouraging good behaviour so it can be rewarded, how to reward good behaviour, how to discourage undesirable behaviour, and important considerations in a behaviour modification plan.

The Employment of the Root d–f–c in the Qur'an

Words employing the root d–f–c occur no more than twelve times in the Qur'an, yet with a variety and depth of meaning that illustrate the Qur'an's eloquence and inimitability: one aspect of this is the Qur'an's practice of using one word to convey both a thing and its opposite – in Sura 4 for instance d–f–c is used in the sense of giving and handing over; in Sura 52 and Sura 70 it occurs in the sense of withholding – and such diversity of meaning gave theologians scope for the development of their various doctrines and opinions. D–f–c occurs in the Qur'an in a range of meanings and it describes not only repelling by force but also rebuffing by dialogue and good behaviour and by confronting evil with good. It becomes clear in this article that jihād in Islam is not part of a Muslim's creed but part of a political system which sanctions its use in the protection and defence of the community against invasion and attack.

Polygraph Examination

The ‘success’ of a polygraph examination is predicated on the establishment of differential or emotional salience (a ‘psychological set’) with an examinee. This, according to polygraph proponents, guarantees that an examinee will respond appropriately during the administration of the in-test (questioning) phase of the polygraph examination. However, polygraph procedure, as prescribed by its governing body, the American Polygraph Association (APA), is a static clinical Westernised process that does not make any provision for human multiplicity (culture/ethnicity, idiosyncrasies, level of education, language proficiency, ideologies, and so forth). Identical (one size fits all) test procedures are applied across the board – a highly controversial methodology. This article, instead of rigidly focusing on validity and reliability issues per se, explores the degree to which certain intentional and unintentional human behaviour modification strategies have the potential to counterbalance claimed polygraph rectitude from a metaphysical and discursive standpoint. The article exposes concerns (potential flaws) relating to polygraph theory in the context of the ‘psychological set’ and is intended to serve as a caveat regarding the unmitigated use thereof.

Good Behaviour

Given a full subcategory [Fscr ] of a category [Ascr ], the existence of left [Fscr ]-approximations (or [Fscr ]-preenvelopes) completing diagrams in a unique way is equivalent to the fact that [Fscr ] is reflective in [Ascr ], in the classical terminology of category theory.In the first part of the paper we establish, for a rather general [Ascr ], the relationship between reflectivity and covariant finiteness of [Fscr ] in [Ascr ], and generalize Freyd's adjoint functor theorem (for inclusion functors) to not necessarily complete categories. Also, we study the good behaviour of reflections with respect to direct limits. Most results in this part are dualizable, thus providing corresponding versions for coreflective subcategories.In the second half of the paper we give several examples of reflective subcategories of abelian and module categories, mainly of subcategories of the form Copres (M) and Add (M). The second case covers the study of all covariantly finite, generalized Krull-Schmidt subcategories of {\rm Mod}_{R}, and has some connections with the “pure-semisimple conjecture”.1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 18A40, 16D90, 16E70.

In this paper, we evaluated gallium nitride heteroepitaxially grown on sapphire (GaN/Sa) and grown on silicon (GaN/Si) faced to implantation doping. Si+ was implanted on low doped n-type epilayers in order to create a plateau around 1020at.cm-3. All the samples were capped with a silicon oxide and annealed between 1000°C and 1150°C. The surface quality was evaluated in terms of roughness, pit density and maximum pit diameter using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Finally, the dopant electrical activation was studied with Ti-Al contacts using the circular Transfert Length Method (c-TLM). This study shows that low Specific Contact Resistance (SCR) values of 8x10-5Ω.cm2 and 6x10-6Ω.cm2 are respectively obtained on GaN/Sa sample annealed at 1150°C-2min and on GaN/Si sample annealed at 1150°C-30s, proving that good ohmic contacts are obtained on both materials. Nevertheless, a compromise has to be done between the low SCR values obtained and the GaN surface degradation, observed by AFM and SEM after the different annealing treatments and which could affect the good behaviour of the GaN devices.
