The Consent Decree: A Means Of Obtaining Mental Health Services For People Who Are Deaf, Debra Katz, Andy Penn, Joan Gillece

JADARA

Consent decrees are a widely used technique to get services for disabled persons, and they can be an effective method to get appropriate state wide mental health services for persons who are deaf. Many state mental health systems have resolved litigation through the formation of 'consent decree units.' If properly designed and implemented, such units can improve services for patients who are deaf, empower administrators to provide programs not otherwise possible, and result ineffective mental health units. The steps involved in using the consent decree approach are given and guidelines for structuring and implementing a consent decree are provided.

Peer Counseling Programs For Hearing Impaired Persons, Michael Strong, Carol Day-Drummer

JADARA

Peer counselors and program directors from eight agencies in Northern and Southern California were interviewed in order to determine how their programs differed from other services for

hearing impaired persons, and how these programs compared with peer counseling programs in other settings. It was concluded that peer counselors provide a unique service by meeting a wide variety of needs in a supportive setting characterized by a shared background with the client. It was also apparent that the programs surveyed here had some features that were startlingly unlike peer counseling programs in other settings while in other ways they were similar. …

Principles Of Group Counseling And Their Applications For Deaf Clients, Margery Silberman Miller, Donald F. Moores

JADARA

According to a model developed by Cavanagh (1982), counseling may be perceived as a unique relationship by which the counselor helps others learn to relate to themselves and others in growth producing ways. The effective counselor fosters growth by creating an environment and a relationship that is significantly different from any presently experienced by the client or clients. Underlying principles and goals of individual and group counseling are identified and discussed. One goal of counseling is to help individuals understand that most of their difficulties emanate from within themselves and not from external circumstances. The basic purposes of a therapeutic …

Testing For Values With The Deaf- The Language: Cultural Effect, Carol S. Holm

JADARA

The purpose of this paper is to explore the reasons why, although values are an important consideration in career planning and vocational adjustment, their measurement has not been attended to by researchers and psyshometricians in the counseling and guidance fields of service to hearing-impaired people; to examine the theory that values are culture bound, and that a psychometric instrument measuring values, to be valid for hearing-impaired populations, must take into consideration both the native language and unique social environment and culture of the deaf people; to introduce new data suggesting that a values questionnaire can be appropriate for deaf subjects …

Introduction: Gunshot wounds to the brain (GSWB) confer high lethality and uncertain recovery. It is unclear which patients benefit from aggressive resuscitation, and furthermore whether patients with GSWB undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) have potential for survival or organ donation. Therefore, we sought to determine the rates of survival and organ donation, as well as identify factors associated with both outcomes in patients with GSWB undergoing CPR. Methods: We performed a retrospective, multicenter study at 25 US trauma centers including dates between June 1, 2011 and December 31, 2017. Patients were included if they suffered isolated GSWB and required CPR at …

There are limited data on the lesion volume changes following spinal cord injury (SCI). In this study, a meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the volume size changes of the injured spinal cord over time among animal studies in traumatic SCI. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive electronic search of English literature of PubMed and EMBASE databases from 1946 to 2015 concerning the time-dependent changes in the volume of the spinal cord following mechanical traumatic SCI. A hand-search was also performed for non-interventional, non-molecular, and non-review studies. Quality appraisal, data extraction, …

Sample Transfer Optimization With Adaptive Deep Neural Network, Hemanta Sapkota, Md Arifuzzaman, Engin Arslan

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Application-layer transfer configurations play a crucial role in achieving desirable performance in high-speed networks. However, finding the optimal configuration for a given transfer task is a difficult problem as it depends on various factors including dataset characteristics, network settings, and background traffic. The state-of-the-art transfer tuning solutions rely on real-time sample transfers to evaluate various configurations and estimate the optimal one. However, existing approaches to run sample transfers incur high delay and measurement errors, thus significantly limit the efficiency of the transfer tuning algorithms. In this paper, we introduce adaptive feed forward deep neural network (DNN) to minimize the error …

The Plain Mennonite Face Of The World War One Conscientious Objector, Donald Eberle

Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies

World War One was a difficult time for American Mennonites. conscription revealed profound differences between progressive Mennonites such as those from the General Conference and plain Mennonites such as those from the Mennonite Church. The General Conference endorsed non-combatant service and advised its draftees to "accept only service designed to support and to save life." The Mennonite Church, however, categorically rejected non-combatant service and declared that "under no circumstances can they consent to service, either combatant or noncombatant, under the military arm of the government." Military officers and government officials tended to view all Mennonites in a strictly adversarial fashion …

Utilizing The Community-Based Research Approach To Examine Mental Health And Support Services Issues Related To Hiv-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder, Renato M. Liboro

Psychology Faculty Research

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated neurocognitive disorder is an emergent public health problem known to HIV researchers and scientists, but unfortunately, is a concern that still needs to be better recognized by people living with HIV and HIV service providers. Research studies have reported that between 30 to 50% of people living with HIV who have access to combination antiretroviral therapy are and will be affected by this disorder. This raises the need to find more appropriate research approaches for examining issues that will significantly impact people living with HIV experiencing or at risk of developing neurocognitive impairments. People living with …

Bridging The Gender Gap: A Journey Of Women And Men In Communications Leadership, Steven Bruce Pelham

Theses and Dissertations

"Throughout history, there have been various gaps: racial, gender, income, education, skills gaps...society today is not any different"(Andrews, 2017). Despite advances to close these gaps, a large gap still remains in communications leadership: the gender gap. Approximately 75 percent of practitioners are female and female practitioners only make up 20 percent of senior-level positions (Oakes & Hardwick, 2017). Existing research suggests there are several reasons why a gap exists: an unconscious bias that favors male leaders (Devillard, Hunt, & Yee, 2018), only 60 percent of women have the confidence they can advance into leadership positions (KPMG, 2018), lack of mentorship …
