Effect Of Tatraka On Anxiety And The Concentration Of Adolescents In Sanskrit And Arabic Schools, Rajnish Chandra Tripathi

Papers from the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology Conferences

Yoga is considered as an important and efficacious tool to overcome physical and psychological problems as a result of facing chronic stress and anxiety as well as to improve psychological strengths. Yogic visual concentration (Trataka) is a fundamental concentration method in yogic practices for enhancing concentration ability as well as healing psychological problems. The literal meaning of the Sanskrit word Trataka is “to gaze steadily”, suggesting gazing at a small point until tears are shed. Thus, the present study examined the effects of Trataka yogic practices on the anxiety and the concentration ability of adolescents in Sanskrit and Arabic schools …

Administrators' Perspectives On Successful Implementation Of Occupational Therapy Services In The School-Based Setting, Suanne M. Waldron

Occupational Therapy Doctorate Capstone Projects

Background: Best practice for school-based occupational therapy (SBOT) alludes to collaboration, consultation, and in-context services in utilizing occupational therapy’s expanded roles to best meet the needs of students. Research supports the workload model as an effective means of maximizing student outcomes and addressing the needs of all students. Many studies explore teacher and occupational therapist perspectives on collaboration, barriers, and facilitators to implementing best practice and a workload model. However, little is reported regarding administrators' perspectives in these areas.

Purpose: This capstone study focused on identifying administrators' perceptions of valued, effective, and successful occupational therapy (OT) services in their districts. …

Ventilator Weaning Parameters Revisited: A Traditional Analysis And A Test Of Artificial Intelligence To Predict Successful Extubation, John James Andrews

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The prediction of which patients can be liberated successfully from mechanical ventilation and which patients require continued support remains a challenge for clinicians. While premature extubation comes with many risks, including respiratory distress, loss of airway, complications of reintubation, and increased mortality, delayed extubation comes with risks including ventilator-associated pneumonia, ventilator-induced lung injury, airway trauma, and unnecessary sedation. With such serious clinical implications, there is a strong and persistent interest among clinicians to identify better models to predict extubation success. Multiple respiratory parameters for predicting weaning success have been assessed over the past several decades, with particular attention to respiratory …

Mythcon Programs

Mythcon 53 with Diversicon 31
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Double Tree by Hilton – Park Place
August 2-5, 2024

CONFERENCE THEME: FANTASIES OF THE MIDDLE LANDS

The idea of “middle-ness” can suggest stability—the center of an object is less likely to break than its edges. It can also suggest the opposite: something in a state of change can be said to be “in the middle”—neither one thing nor another. Mythcon 53, located in the middle of the continental U.S., welcomes an exciting range of papers, panels, and discussions exploring the concept of “middle-ness” as it is worked out in fantasy, science fiction, …

Daydreams: Cinema Of The Russian Empire And Beyond, A Database, Anna Kovalova

The Journal of e-Media Studies

The essay provides a detailed description of Daydreams, the first scholarly database of feature films produced in the Russian Empire and its former territories from the first years after the October Revolution until the end of private film production. This database contains the most complete filmographies, synopses, iconographic materials (such as promotional stills, posters, and frame enlargements), and video clips for more than 2,500 films. Tracing its goals, scope, sources, and structure, the article discusses a fundamental digital platform of materials related to the cinema of the Russian Empire which is about to open in the fall of 2023.

Seeing Through The Haverstraw Tunnel, Dan Streible

The Journal of e-Media Studies

The American Mutoscope Company’s The Haverstraw Tunnel was one of the most popular screenings of 1897, inspiring ecstatic rhetoric in descriptions of the experience of watching the original “phantom ride” train film. Historians appropriated such language (“an unseen energy swallows up space”) to theorize about early cinema. Yet until 2020, this significant production was difficult to see. The one-minute recording was shot and projected on large-format 68mm film stock, producing a high-resolution image as seen from the front of an express train traveling along the Hudson River. This essay recounts the archival research process abetted by the Library of Congress …

Revisiting The Motivated Denial Of Mind To Animals Used For Food: Replication Registered Report Of Bastian Et Al. (2012), Tyler P. Jacobs, M. Wang, S. Leach, H. L. Siu, M. Khanna, K. W. Chan, H. T. Chau, K. Y. Y. Tam, G. Feldman

Psychology Faculty Works

Bastian et al. (2012) argued that the meat paradox—caring for animals yet eating them—creates a tension between people’s moral standards (caring for animals) and their behavior (eating them) that can be resolved via mechanisms of motivated moral disengagement. One disengagement mechanism that is thought to play a central role is the denial of food-animal minds and therefore their status as moral patients. This idea has garnered substantial interest and has framed much of the psychological approach to meat consumption. We subjected Studies 1 and 2 of Bastian et al. (2012) to high-powered direct replications and found support for the target …

Reimagining Equitable Care: Simulation-Based Education And The Dismantling Of Implicit Bias And Stigma Of Vulnerable Populations In Hospitals, Vanessa Smith

Nursing | Senior Theses

Background: Simulation-based education consists of using high-fidelity mannequins and equipment to provide a safe space for healthcare professionals to practice crucial skills within healthcare. Used within hospitals and schools, simulation most commonly surrounds practicing hands-on skills such as central line insertion, IV insertion, Ultrasound-guided procedures, code blue response, etc. However, a large portion of healthcare that is overlooked is tackling issues within patient-provider relationships. Simulation can help dismantle the negative behaviors and feelings providers push onto patients through the use of standardized patients and role-playing. By using these methods, simulation can reduce providers’ personal implicit biases and the stigma associated …
