The Progressive Changes In Posttraumatic Symptoms And Posttraumatic Growth Associated With Traumatic Incident Reduction, Joseph L. Mcclory

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Many millions of people are suffering from symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Just in the United States, 13 million Americans had a PTSD diagnosis as of 2020. Through the theoretical lens of catharsis, analysis of variance was used to examine whether traumatic incident reduction (TIR) is associated with changes in posttraumatic symptoms and posttraumatic growth by comparing pre, mid, and post-TIR PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) scores. Regression was also used to test whether post-PCL-5 scores accounted for variance in the post-PTGI scores. Ninety-seven TIR cases from the mental health agency between 2017 and …

Upper Peninsula Regional Economic Development Strategy, Iryna V. Lendel, Chloe Wieber, Gerrit Anderson, Sevrin Williams

Upjohn Institute Technical Reports

This comprehensive report describes the economy of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, outlining both persistent issues and emerging opportunities. The region faces several structural challenges, including a decline in prime-age workers and bachelor’s degree attainment that falls below state and national averages, while shortages in housing and healthcare further limit its ability to attract and retain residents. Despite those challenges, the U.P.’s universities, longstanding industries, abundant natural resources, and robust outdoor recreation economy provide strong foundations for future development. The report recommends strategies such as strengthening retention of the talent pipeline, expanding housing and healthcare capacity, fostering small and mid-sized firms in …

Beyond Objectivity: Interventionist Journalism And Professional Role Performance In Global South Media Landscape, Nagwa Fahmy, Hossam Elhamy

All Works

This study investigates journalistic interventionism within the diverse media landscape of the Global South. Journalism in these regions sometimes takes an interventionist approach. Understanding this approach necessitates moving beyond Western-centric paradigms that may overlook Global South media’s distinctive historical, political, economic, and sociocultural circumstances. The primary objective of this research is to understand the manifestation of the interventionist journalistic role performance across various Global South countries, examining its overall prominence and the influential factors that affect interventionist role deployment. The study examines interventionist journalism in 16 Global South nations using quantitative content analysis of 59,391 news items from 153 media …

Foreign Language Anxiety In Learners’ Oral Performance In English, Niaam Ali Hasan

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

The present research is a reasonably comprehensive investigation into the multilevel effect of foreign language anxiety on oral performance in the English language. It probes deep into complex interfaces of anxiety levels, language proficiency, the nature of tasks, and speaking performance for an all-encompassing perspective of the complex dynamics that govern language learning in educational contexts. Drawing on an extensive data collection program amongst a diverse group of international students, this paper identifies and explores a number of key statistical trends that would suggest high levels of anxiety strongly collocated with poor oral performances, particularly in formal assessment tasks.

It …

Misandry And Men’S Equity In Selected Novels By Female Authors, Omar Abbas Sallal

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

This study aims to shed light on the concept of misandry in selected novels by Octavia E Butler and Margaret Atwood. Several previous studies dealt with the concept of misogyny in detail and depth, so it became necessary to present a different point of view. This study reached the following results, analysing the female and male characters to accurately determine the concept of misandry. This study gives a different model of female novelists’ novels to inform the reader of the existence of two sides of female writers, and the novelist Suanne Laqueur was taken as a counter example to the …

The Palestinian-Israeli Conflict Through Chomsky And Bremmer’S Interviews: A Critical Discourse Analysis, Noora Jameel, Sarab Khalil

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is seen as one of the most serious and controversial issues in the world. In this paper, the researcher seeks to highlight some crucial points with regard to this conflict by adopting critical discourse analysis (CDA) as the primary means of analysis. Since conflicts are usually accompanied by social wrongs, it is more appropriate to use Fairclough’s 2010 approach to CDA in order to get more logical results. However, the study aims to provide a critical analysis of two selected interview by two famous figures; Ian Bremmer and Noam Chomsky in order to highlight the following points: …

Modern Zombies As Subaltern In Max Brooks’S World War Z: An Oral History Of The Zombie War (2006), Hamza Alwan Jaber, Azhar Noori Fejer

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

Max Brooks’s World War Z (2006) has made many contributions to the zombie genre, particularly in making it an international plague. With key situations occurring in the Middle East, which in the Christian tradition will be the location of the “End of Days,” the Apocalypse, the Armageddon at the Megiddo. While Brooks was not the first to assign infectious disease/plague/epidemiology as the cause of zombies, he emphasized that explanation for the 21st-century culture that has been rife with fears of disease and pandemics, from Ebola, Bird flu, etc. This study aims to show the image of the modern zombie as …

Searching For Meaning In A Chaotic World: An Analysis Of Tina Howe’S Birth And After Birth, Ali Qasim Radhee, Sabah Atallah Khalifa Ali

Alustath Journal for Human and Social Sciences

This paper deals with Tina Howe’s play Birth and After Birth as an absurd work. The aim is to harbor on meaning out of the chaotic life of the characters in the play. Topics like motherhood, archetypes, domestic abuse and social bias are discussed in this paper. The implementations of these topics help in shedding light on the motives behind the characters’ actions and consequently reach out to a better understanding of their behaviors and those of the American people in general.

Howe’s work reflects the traditional life of a stereotypical American family during the 1970s, a life that is …

Rhizosolenia Mat Diatoms Associate With Nitrogen-Fixing Microbes, Kendra Turk-Kubo, Mar Benavides, Matthew M. Mills, Sarah R. Smith

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Some Rhizosolenia diatoms living in oligotrophic marine ecosystems are known to form large, conspicuous mats and are thought to be sources of new nitrogen to surface waters via vertical migration to the nitracline where subsurface nitrate is accessed for growth. These vertically migrating Rhizosolenia mats are chronically under sampled, and both the diatom species comprising the mats and the associated microbiome have not been characterized using modern molecular techniques. Here we present the first DNA-based analysis of Rhizosolenia mats collected in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Using sequencing of 18S rRNA and nifH genes (a proxy for N2 fixation capacity), …

Setd2 Suppresses Tumorigenesis In A Krasg12c-Driven Lung Cancer Model, And Its Catalytic Activity Is Regulated By Histone Acetylation, Ricardo J Mack, Natasha M Flores, Geoffrey C Fox, Hanyang Dong, Metehan Cebeci, Simone Hausmann, Tourkian Chasan, Jill M Dowen, Brian D Strahl, Pawel K Mazur, Or Gozani

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Histone H3 trimethylation at lysine 36 (H3K36me3) is a key chromatin modification that regulates fundamental physiological and pathological processes. In humans, SETD2 is the only known enzyme that catalyzes H3K36me3 in somatic cells and is implicated in tumor suppression across multiple cancer types. While there is considerable crosstalk between the SETD2-H3K36me3 axis and other epigenetic modifications, much remains to be understood. Here, we show that Setd2 functions as a potent tumor suppressor in a KRASG12C-driven lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) mouse model, and that acetylation enhances SETD2 in vitro methylation of H3K36 on nucleosome substrates. In vivo, Setd2 ablation accelerates lethality in …

Staff Education About Cultural Awareness In A Healthcare Setting, Phylis Titty Tarawally

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Summary This quality improvement project was carried out to address a practice gap in culturally responsive care among nursing staff working in a skilled nursing facility. African-American residents often face disparities in healthcare due to staff’s limited knowledge of cultural health beliefs and confidence in engaging with diverse populations. To improve this, an educational intervention was designed using the ADDIE instructional model and evaluated to see if it could enhance staff knowledge and confidence related to African-American cultural practices. The project was guided by the practice-focused question: Will a structured African-American cultural awareness program improve staff knowledge and confidence to …
