Travel Equals Empathy
Get PDFOne benefit that most of us experience as a result of our travels is increased empathy. That feels no truer than during this COVID-19 pandemic. Knowing the people and places that are affected brings this tragedy home in a way that no newscast can. I feel that two of the hardest hit areas of this pandemic, outside of the US, has affected me more deeply because of my past and personal connections with both hard-hit areas.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/covid/1008/thumbnail.jp

Understanding urban progressivism and the city beautiful movement
No full textCopyright © 2020 The Pennsylvania Historical Association This article places the City Beautiful movement in Harrisburg within the history of urban progressive reform in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America, a time of industrial growth and the various problems stemming from it. In order to better understand the City Beautiful movement, it is helpful to engage the scholarly literature on Progressivism, which notes its complexity, with many different goals, strategies, and historical actors. Of benefit to those seeking to further our understanding of the City Beautiful movement in Harrisburg are new tools, methodologies, and approaches that include digital history, public history, and public humanities

US military spouses\u27 experiences transitioning abroad: A narrative analysis
No full text© 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC Moving to a new country and culture has emotional, social, financial, health, and cultural consequences. Military spouses face a wide range of stressors when relocating or sojourning, placing them at risk for a variety of health challenges. The aim of this study was to describe the transition experiences of military spouses who sojourn abroad as part of a service member\u27s assignment. Using qualitative narrative inquiry, semi-structured interviews of 13 US military spouses living in Italy were conducted. Narrative thematic and structural analysis was used to analyze the data. Six themes represent the transition experience: adding stress to an already stressful situation, managing a new set of worries and fears surrounded by the unknown, reestablishing an everyday life from chaos, battling social, personal, and physical isolation, reinventing myself to move beyond simply functioning to control, and pondering about life, returning, and repatriation. Internationally, the nursing profession has a responsibility to understand the transition experience of military spouses to overseas assignments so appropriate strategies aimed at strengthening resiliency, building cultural flexibility, and maintaining health and well-being can be provided, while minimizing negative consequences. Additionally, nurses and health care providers can play a role by continually developing culturally congruent and sensitive practice

Zinc selenide analyzed by XPS
No full text© 2020 Author(s). Zinc selenide (ZnSe) was analyzed using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). A small notched rod was fractured in the XPS vacuum system at 6 × 10-4Pa to create an oxygen-free surface for analysis. Spectral regions for Zn 2p, Zn 3d, Zn LMM, O 1s, C 1s, Se 3d, Se 3p, and Se LMM and valence band regions were acquired. The presence of carbon could not be confirmed due to interferences between C 1s and Se LMM and between C KLL and Zn 3s. It is believed that any carbon present is very low
High-Intensity Interval Training and the Brain: A Review
No full textHigh-intensity interval training (HIIT) has recently grown in popularity for use in the general population. According to the ACSM Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends, HIIT has been in the top five fitness trends every year since 2014. In addition to being time-efficient and improving cardiac, metabolic, and vascular health, HIIT has positive effects on the brain. Current research demonstrates that even a single bout of HIIT enhances numerous cognitive functions, including executive function, long-term memory, and learning, in lab and academic settings. Additionally, HIIT, when performed regularly, improves learning, memory, executive function, and inhibitory control. Furthermore, HIIT improves motor learning and emotional regulation. These benefits likely occur through a variety of mechanisms involving the regulation of protein expression, including that of GABA, dopamine, epinephrine, and BDNF. Additionally, HIIT improves the efficiency of blood and oxygen utilization in the brain. Thus, the purpose of this review is to identify lesser-known impacts of HIIT on the brain and highlight a few of the mechanisms that may explain these benefits
One Hundred Voices: Harrisburg\u27s Historic African American Community, 1850-1920
Get PDFIn 2020, a coalition of citizens, organizers, legislators, and educators came together to commemorate the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments by establishing a new monument in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This would be a memorial dedicated to the capital city’s significant African American community and its historic struggle for the vote. The Commonwealth Monument, located on the Irvis Equality Circle on the South Lawn of Pennsylvania’s State Capitol Grounds, features a bronze pedestal inscribed with one hundred names of change agents who pursued the power of suffrage and citizenship between 1850 and 1920.
This book is a companion to this monument and tells the stories of those one hundred freedom seekers, abolitionists, activists, suffragists, moralists, policemen, masons, doctors, lawyers, musicians, poets, publishers, teachers, preachers, housekeepers, janitors, and business leaders, among many others. In their committed advocacy for freedom, equality, and justice, these inspiring men and women made unique and lasting contributions to the standing and life of African Americans—and, indeed, the political power of all Americans—within their local communities and across the country.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/onehundredvoices/1003/thumbnail.jp
