لم نجد بدّاً، في هذه الدراسة، من ولوج المعاني الإنسانية السامية، والتي حازت على قدسيّة المجتمع ديناً وعرفاً، ومن هذه القدسية اكتسبت أهميتها فنيّاً على ألسنة الشعراء والأدباء الذين يغرفون من تقاليد مجتمعاتهم وبيئاتهم التي يستوطنونها.

إنَّ قيمة الأشياء على حقيقتها المتعارفة مجتمعياً، لا تختلف في حال إعادة صياغتها فنيّاً ونقلها إلى المجتمع مرَّة أخرى، إلّا من ناحية الأسلوب والجانب الانفعالي تجاهها، وهنا تكون مهمة الأديب، الذي يضع على كاهله هذه المسؤولية، متحملاً وطأة النهوض بتلك القيم الراسخة أساساً في المجتمع، لإعادة ترسيخها أو الحد منها، أو محاولة تشريح عمقها والوقوف على جزئيّات فيها تتحمّل التغيير مكاناً وزماناً وفقاً للظرف …

This review aimed to identify evidence available to understand the impact of a cultural training on healthcare providers in skilled nursing facilities.

Methods: APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, and PubMed, were searched for English-language studies published between January 2016 and January 2022. Healthcare cultural competency training

in any aspect of cultural care was considered. Outcomes of interest included changes …


Art: The Beautiful, Relieving Agent For Mental Illness, Stella G. Newmoyer Nov 2022

Art: The Beautiful, Relieving Agent For Mental Illness, Stella G. Newmoyer

Composition Exemplars

Art: the Beautiful, Revealing Agent for Mental Illness is aimed to present a thorough analysis of the relationship between art and mental illness. With this proposal, I show the hidden meanings behind some art works, The Starry Night and Kaleidoscope Cat V11, and how the importance of creation gives to others. Creation allows people with mental illness to express their personal experiences liberally on a medium, to potentially release their tension they may hold inside their mind. As my research proposal demonstrates, art provides individuals with a sense of unattachment from reality, by allowing them to freely express their mental …

A Beginning Look At The Effect Of Age On Dyspnea, Physical Functioning And Self-Efficacy For Home Walking And Managing Shortness Of Breath In Adults With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Copd), Lynda A. Mackin Nov 2022

A Beginning Look At The Effect Of Age On Dyspnea, Physical Functioning And Self-Efficacy For Home Walking And Managing Shortness Of Breath In Adults With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Copd), Lynda A. Mackin

Dissertations

Chronic illness is common in older adults and is associated with functional impairments. Older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) face both age-related and disease-related decline in pulmonary function. Dyspnea, also referred to as shortness of breath, is a major symptom in COPD and progressive dyspnea is associated with decline in physical function. Aging, chronic illness and a decline in physical function can compromise the individual's confidence, also known as self-efficacy, for performing physical activities. Chronic disease self-management programs for COPD that include an exercise program have been reported to improve functional status, decrease dyspnea and improve self-efficacy for …


Policy Considerations That Support Equitable Access To Responsible, Accountable, Safe, And Ethical Uses Of Psychedelic Medicines, Sean J Belouin, Lynnette A Averill, Jack E Henningfield, Stephen N Xenakis, Ingrid Donato, Charles S Grob, Ann Berger, Veronica Magar, Alicia L Danforth, Brian T Anderson Nov 2022

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

There is mounting evidence suggesting psychedelic and entactogen medicines (namely psilocybin and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine [MDMA]), in conjunction with proper psychosocial support, hold the potential to provide safe, rapid acting, and robust clinical improvements with durable effects. In the US, both psilocybin and MDMA have been granted Breakthrough Therapy designations by the US Food and Drug Administration and may potentially receive full FDA approval with similar regulatory considerations occurring in multiple countries. At the same time, regulatory changes are poised to increase access to legal or decriminalized psychedelic use in various non-medical settings. This review provides a brief discussion on the historical …


A Ruff Day On The Road: How Relocation Affects Children Pre-K Through Third Grade And How A Picture Book Can Help, Bryant Miller Nov 2022

A Ruff Day On The Road: How Relocation Affects Children Pre-K Through Third Grade And How A Picture Book Can Help, Bryant Miller

Honors Projects

Moving their home from across town, a couple of states away, or overseas is something most will experience at least once in their lifetime. For all, moving is a big change, but for children, it can have lasting effects. Presumably, social skills, academic development, and family dynamics are all impacted when children move. But how and to what length are these factors influenced? This led to the original research question, how does relocation affect children and how can this transition during relocation be eased? After the first portion of the research was done to answer these questions, the research then …

Peninsula Medical School

Background Psychological stress has an established bi-directional relationship with obesity. Mindfulness techniques reduce stress and improve eating behaviours, but their long-term impact remains untested. CALMPOD (Compassionate Approach to Living Mindfully for Prevention of Disease) is a psychoeducational mindfulness-based course evidenced to improve eating patterns across a 6-month period, possibly by reducing stress. However, no long-term evaluation of impact exists. Aims This study retrospectively evaluates 2-year outcomes of CALMPOD on patient engagement, weight and metabolic markers. Method All adults with a body mass index >35 kg/m2 attending an UK obesity service during 2016-2020 were offered CALMPOD. Those who refused CALMPOD were …

Keeping An Eye On Circadian Time In Clinical Research And Medicine, Elizabeth B. Klerman, Allison Brager, Mary A. Carskadon, Christopher M. Depner, Russell Foster, Namni Goel, Mary Harrington, Et Al

Psychology: Faculty Publications

Background: Daily rhythms are observed in humans and almost all other organisms. Most of these observed rhythms reflect both underlying endogenous circadian rhythms and evoked responses from behaviours such as sleep/wake, eating/fasting, rest/activity, posture changes and exercise. For many research and clinical purposes, it is important to understand the contribution of the endogenous circadian component to these observed rhythms. Content: The goal of this manuscript is to provide guidance on best practices in measuring metrics of endogenous circadian rhythms in humans and promote the inclusion of circadian rhythms assessments in studies of health and disease. Circadian rhythms affect all aspects …


Relationship Between Individual Characteristics And Received Social Support Among People With Serious Mental Illness, Samantha Dicorte Nov 2022

Relationship Between Individual Characteristics And Received Social Support Among People With Serious Mental Illness, Samantha Dicorte

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Past research on social support has mainly focused on perceived social support. Relatively less research has been done on received social support and how it can promote positive behavior outcomes. This study examines the importance of received social support, including background on social support, social support outcomes, and a theoretical foundation overview of the social stress model. In addition to a literature review, this study investigates the association between individual characteristics (i.e., diagnosis and substance abuse including alcohol, race/ethnicity, gender, age, and marital status) and different types of received social support (i.e., daily, mental health, and adherence support). Simple linear …

Spatial Variation Of Noise Pollution Of Industrial Activity In The City Of Hamza, Hatif Lafta Algabri, Itab Yuosef Alluhaibi Nov 2022

Spatial Variation Of Noise Pollution Of Industrial Activity In The City Of Hamza, Hatif Lafta Algabri, Itab Yuosef Alluhaibi

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

Noise excites nerves and leads to a lack of mental focus and thus distracts the mental and mental serenity from the human being, knowing that this mental and mental serenity is one of the most important requirements of a quiet life and intellectual creativity. The human reaction to sounds and the degree of their impact on them varies according to their types, frequency, intensity, intensity, permanence, and the nature of the person himself.

The research works on the distribution of natural factors from the site, surface, climate and soil. Human factors have been distributed according to the classification of population growth and extraction of population growth rate through the years (1997-2007) and (2007-2020). (1997_2020), and then spatially disaggregated by natural, religious and archaeological sites and their potential for tourist investment.


Cognitive Load In Asynchronous Discussions Of An Online Undergraduate Stem Course, Emily Faulconer, Beverly Wood, Charlotte Bolch Nov 2022

Cognitive Load In Asynchronous Discussions Of An Online Undergraduate Stem Course, Emily Faulconer, Beverly Wood, Charlotte Bolch

Publications

Purpose

As online course enrollments increase, it is important to understand how common course features influence students' behaviors and performance. Asynchronous online courses often include a discussion forum to promote community through interaction between students and instructors. Students interact both socially and cognitively; instructors' engagement often demonstrates social or teaching presence. Students' engagement in the discussions introduces both intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load. The purpose of this study is to validate an instrument for measuring cognitive load in asynchronous online discussions.

Crisis Communication In The Public Sector: Influences On Stakeholders’ Experience Of Psychological Effects As U.S.-Russia Tensions Rise, Elisabeth Shirk Nov 2022

Crisis Communication In The Public Sector: Influences On Stakeholders’ Experience Of Psychological Effects As U.S.-Russia Tensions Rise, Elisabeth Shirk

Theses - ALL

As war in Ukraine rages on and the U.S.-Russia relationship becomes increasingly hostile, the need to better understand public sector communication in times of international crisis is once again rising. For years, the public and private sectors have been treated largely the same in crisis communication research and practice. In the context of international crisis, specifically rising tensions between the U.S. and Russia, this study looks at where these differences lie and what that might mean for future research and practice.

In contribution to this broader topic, this study looks at the influence of domestic stakeholders’ perceptions of the Biden …


We Will Hold Onto You: The Liberating Power Of Music And Liturgy To Break Open The Stories Of Mental Illness In Communities Of Faith, Hillary Doerries Nov 2022

We Will Hold Onto You: The Liberating Power Of Music And Liturgy To Break Open The Stories Of Mental Illness In Communities Of Faith, Hillary Doerries

Doctor of Pastoral Music Projects and Theses

One in five people lives with a diagnosable mental health problem in any given year. Thus, the presence of mental illness already permeates faith communities. The church’s history with mental illness remains complicated, especially as some communities of faith continue to espouse negative lay theologies that are harmful and dismissive to people living with mental health problems. Guided by the tenants of liberation theology, this thesis argues that mental health justice is a part of God’s overarching justice intended for all creation. When we, as God’s people, encounter or observe injustice, it is our theological task to gather the weary, …


The Experience Of Transitioning To The Caregiving Role For A Family Member With Alzheimer's Disease Or A Related Dementia, Kathleen E. Czekanski Nov 2022

The Experience Of Transitioning To The Caregiving Role For A Family Member With Alzheimer's Disease Or A Related Dementia, Kathleen E. Czekanski

Dissertations

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic, debilitating disease that currently affects approximately 5.1 million Americans (Alzheimer's Association 2007). The majority of these individuals are being cared for at home by family caregivers who are known to suffer from more depression and burden than any other group of caregivers. The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to explore the lived experience of transitioning to the role of caregiver for a family member with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia.

Regional homogeneity (ReHo) is a measure of local functional brain connectivity that has been reported to be altered in a wide range of neuropsychiatric disorders. Computed from brain resting-state functional MRI time series, ReHo is also sensitive to fluctuations in cerebral blood flow (CBF) that in turn may be influenced by cerebrovascular health. We accessed cerebrovascular health with Framingham cardiovascular risk score (FCVRS). We hypothesize that ReHo signal may be influenced by regional CBF; and that these associations can be summarized as FCVRS→CBF→ReHo. We used three independent samples to test this hypothesis. A test-retest sample of N = 30 healthy …


Reimagining Public Safety, Brandon Hasbrouck Nov 2022

Reimagining Public Safety, Brandon Hasbrouck

Northwestern University Law Review

In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, abolitionists were repeatedly asked to explain what they meant by “abolish the police”—the idea so seemingly foreign that its literal meaning evaded interviewers. The narrative rapidly turned to the abolitionists’ secondary proposals, as interviewers quickly jettisoned the idea of literally abolishing the police. What the incredulous journalists failed to see was that abolishing police and prisons is not aimed merely at eliminating the collateral consequences of other social ills. Abolitionists seek to build a society in which policing and incarceration are unnecessary. Rather than a society without a means of protecting public safety, …
