Article Abstract:
The UK charity MacIntyre provides residential care and education for mentally handicapped people. Its residential home for 23 young people in between the ages of 9 years and 19 years, Womaston House in Wales was commenced in 1987. The first extension was completed in Nov 1989 at a cost of 813 pounds sterling per metre squared and the second extension was completed in Mar 1991 at a cost of 823 pounds sterling per metre squared. The design had to accomodate possible destruction without the building looking institutional. All fixtures, fittings, sanitary units, and window and door openings are vandal-proof.

The normalization of the abnormal
Article Abstract:
The new normalization of democracy in the Latin American countries seems to show many inconsistencies. This is manifested by a growing number of intellectuals, artists and political dissidents that have requested for exile from their countries. Moreover, reports of human rights violations in countries such as Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina are substantive proofs of the abnormal situation in the region.

Degree of supervision, moral hazard, and hierarchical control
Article Abstract:
Agency theory is integrated into the evaluation of a hierarchical structure for supervising a production environment. The integrated effect of supervision and labor is considered in the generation of optimal contracts as depicted in a moral hazard problem. Optimal conditions are established when the principal is separated from direct production supervision given a hierarchical control structure.
