No full textRevisiting resilience and thriving in the LGBTGEQIA + community: Conceptual issues and new directions
No full textIndividuals in the LGBTGEQIA + community continue to experience unique stressors to those in the dominant majority around discrimination and prejudice. These experiences may negatively affect LGBTGEQIA + mental health. There has been a dearth of understanding of LGBTGEQIA + positive psychology, and as a result, constructs such as resilience and thriving have struggled to be operationally defined. This has led to a lack of research and in turn, a lack of counselor access to information about fostering these qualities in their LGBTGEQIA + clients. This article reviewed current definitions of resilience and thriving and discussed current conceptual concerns related to their use in the LGBTGEQIA + community. This article also provided possible theoretical avenues to explore related to conceptualization and research related to resilience and thriving in the LGBTGEQIA + community

Get PDFThroughout 2024, the city of Ann Arbor celebrated its 200th anniversary with community events, festivals, and art displays that highlighted its rich culture and history. To cap off the celebrations, in December 2024 the EMU Center for Oral History Research invited community members to Skyline High School to share what makes Ann Arbor special. In this interview, Paul Conway shares the story of how he made his way to Ann Arbor, attending and then working at the University of Michigan, and the challenges of a growing college and a growing city.https://commons.emich.edu/oral_histories/1210/thumbnail.jp
Separablilty of metric measure spaces and choice axioms

We also show that neither implication is reversible in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory weakend to permit the existence of atoms and that the second implication is not reversible in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. This gives an answer to a question of Dybowski and G & oacute;rka (Arch Math Logic 62:735-749, 2023. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00153-023-00868-4)
Posttraumatic cognitions about the self are associated with depression symptoms in veterans endorsing a history of assaultive military sexual trauma.
No full textDepressive symptoms are a commonly observed yet understudied mental health sequalae of military sexual trauma (MST). Prior research supports the relationship between negative posttraumatic cognitions (NPCs) and the onset and course of trauma symptoms more broadly. We hypothesized that NPCs would be associated with depression symptoms in veterans endorsing a history of MST, specifically assaultive type MST. Our clinical sample included veterans presenting for treatment related to assaultive MST (N = 158; 70.9% female, 65.2% White, 27.8% Black). Participants completed self-report measures of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and NPCs during intake at a Veteran\u27s Affairs specialty trauma clinic. Linear regressions were used to analyze the association between NPCs and depression symptoms controlling for PTSD symptom severity. PTSD severity and NPCs about the self were significantly associated with depression symptoms, explaining 46% of the variance severity, F(4, 153) = 33.16, R2 = .46, p \u3c .001. These findings newly demonstrate a relationship between NPCs about the self and depression in veterans with a history of MST. Clinicians may benefit from incorporating cognitive interventions into preexisting depression treatments to directly address NPCs in this population. Future study is needed to determine how these results may extend to other forms of MST or trauma types
Twitter chats as an alternative to discussion boards in graduate nursing courses
No full textBackground: Health care is increasingly dependent on technology and social media for communication. Nurse educators are tasked with developing a nursing workforce equipped with digital literacy to deliver safe, quality patient care. Twitter (now X) chats are an alternative social engagement opportunity for online nursing education students that can facilitate digital literacy. Method: The instructor of an 8-week online nursing education course revised three required discussions as Twitter chats. Written instructions for the Twitter chats were provided, as well as a podcast. Self-report data and Twitter analytics were analyzed. Results: Findings identified the benefits of incorporating a social media platform into traditional coursework. Chats helped students view course objectives in a new light and increased understanding of class content. Conclusion: Twitter is a social media technology that can help nursing students educationally and professionally
