Singing And Sensing The Unknown: An Embodied History Of Hindu Practice In Ghana, Shobana Shankar

Yale Journal of Music & Religion

Hinduism fits well into the “sound-filled” West African religious soundscape, which is a scene of competition and conflict. This article explores the soundscape of devotional singing, mantras, and prayers as a central part of the embodiment and embedment of Hinduism among Africans in Ghana, where the Indian diaspora has been relatively small and the indigenous movement of Hinduism entirely through African initiative. Using ethnographic and written sources to examine the Hindu Monastery of Africa, founded by the Ghanaian monk Swami Ghanananda in 1975, I examine how the oral and aural popular devotions crafted by the swami have shifted attention away …

Assimilating To Art-Religion: Jewish Secularity And Edgar Zilsel’S Geniereligion (1918), Abigail Fine

Yale Journal of Music & Religion

In 1918, Edgar Zilsel—a Marxist-Jewish philosopher who was soon to be exiled from Vienna—published a sociological study that later readers have found prescient of fascism. In Die Geniereligion (“The Religion of Genius”), Zilsel cautioned against the hidden dangers of elevating secular figures to the status of deities. As early as 1912, Zilsel was disturbed by how art-religion shaped music culture: his earliest published essay ruminated on timelessness and canonicity, on striving for heavenly tones while cast down to the earthly squalor of the concert hall. Indeed, in Zilsel’s Vienna, art-religion had come to dominate the music world—biographers made Beethoven a …

Recorded Maternal Song To Reduce Crying Duration In Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, Alecia Cunniff

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Neonatal abstinence syndrome is a constellation of symptoms that include high pitched crying and irritability resulting from abrupt postnatal cessation of opioid exposure. Maternal recorded song reduces crying duration in preterm and full-term infants. However, the effect of maternal recorded song on crying duration in affected infants is unknown. In this prospective single-blind randomized control trial, we compare the effect of maternal recorded song and ambient noise in reducing crying duration in infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome. We hypothesize that exposure to maternal recorded song will result in a significant difference in mean duration of crying compared to ambient noise …

Computerized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy In Adolescents And Young Adults With Substance Use Disorder, Madeline Sadlowski

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Substance use disorder is a condition that affects the brain and results in the inability of a person to manage their substance use. Approximately 9% of adolescents and young adults in the United States suffer from a substance use disorder, and the majority that receive treatment relapse within 6 months. Adolescents and young adults, especially those with low socioeconomic status, have access to fewer resources for treatment. In this study, we will assess an accessible computer-based cognitive behavioral therapy for treatment in adolescents and young adults with substance use disorders as an efficacious and durable treatment. We will use a …

Video Cognitive Behavioral Therapy To Prevent Depression In Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Monica Narsolis

Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program Theses

Inflammatory bowel disease patients have higher rates of depression and anxiety compared to other diseases and the general population, which can lead to a lower quality of life. There is a critical need to investigate treatments for mental health in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Cognitive behavioral therapy is widely studied and has proven effective in improving depression. There are no randomized controlled trials comparing early psychotherapeutic intervention with standard of care for this population. We hypothesize that early initiation of cognitive behavioral therapy will reduce depression and anxiety severity and improve quality of life in newly diagnosed inflammatory bowel …
