The Sephardic-Mizrahi Moment: Cultural Renewal, Jewish-Arab Rapprochement and Zionism in the 1920s
Get PDFThis study examines the Sephardic-Mizrahi nationalist strategy in the British and French mandates of the early 20th century. Scholars including Abigail Jacobson, Moshe Naor, and Yitzhak Bezalel indicate this community developed a unique approach to nationalism. Utilizing Alex Winder’s conceptual framework for violence, Yehuda Shamir’s conceptual framework for culture and Rashid Khalidi’s analytical framework, this study broadens the research on Sephardic-Mizrahi communities, the development of 20th century nationalism, and the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Drawing on correspondences, reports and newspapers, this paper argues a Sephardic-Mizrahi Moment began by 1925, employing institutions— such as activist organizations and the press—to simultaneously achieve cultural renewal, Jewish-Arab rapprochement and Zionism. By 1929 the Sephardic-Mizrahi Moment foreclosed, with the Western Wall Riots signifying that institutions ironically wrought cultural decoupling, Jewish-Arab violence and the defeat of Sephardic-Mizrahi Zionist organizations. While the brief rise of the Sephardic-Mizrahi Moment represented the diversity of early 20th century nationalism, its fall symbolized the closure of possibilities for Jewish and Arab nationalists
“100%, I’m not trained for this:” Understanding How Professors Navigate Higher Education as Student Mental Health Declines
Get PDFGenerational and cultural changes have led mental health to become an increasingly common concern among the general population, especially Generation Z. As a result, professors have become very aware of declining college student mental health, and some have become advisors for struggling students; in the process, they are learning to navigate boundaries in and out of the classroom (Lipson, 2021; Price et al., 2020). Using six qualitative interviews, this study seeks to ask: how do professors understand, navigate teaching, and one-on-one interactions as student mental health issues increase? This paper argues that as student mental health suffers and campus counseling resources fail to keep up with increasing demand, professors have taken on more emotional labor as they work to navigate boundaries, such as balancing leniency versus accountability, while working to maintain their role as professor rather than entering the role of mental health therapist. These findings contribute to sociological theories of boundary navigation and emotion work, as well as changes in the nature of the professoriate. Furthermore, this research shows how inadequate college and university mental health counseling resources are across the country
Oral Dosages of the NSAID Aspirin Decreased the Growth Rate of Species Found in the Human Gut Microbiome Including Akkermansia muciniphila, Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium sordellii, and Clostridium difficile
Get PDFOver past few decades, new insight has been revealed in the scientific community about the importance of the human gut microbiome relating to general health. It is known that imbalances in the species that reside in the human gut can cause organism-wide problems in humans. When prescribing or injecting oral medications, the thought of the downstream effects on the gut microbiome are not always considered. By exposing known healthy members of the gut; Akkermansia muciniphila, Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium sordellii, and Clostridium difficile to the Aspirin, this study attempted to provide insight into the effects of the drug on bacterial growth. While these species only account for a small percentage of the total biodiversity of the gut microbiome, they are some of the most thoroughly studied and well known. A. muciniphila is known to occur in higher concentrations in healthy, low body mass index individuals which suggests that aspirin alternatives may be beneficial in some clinical cases. To accomplish the goal of this study, time courses were designed to analyze if different dosages of Aspirin inhibited the growth curve of each species when compared to growth curves of the same species in drug-free media. Aspirin was found to have a dose-dependent effect in growth rate of A. muciniphila, B. fragilis, C. sordellii, and C. difficile resulting in a significant decrease in the exponential growth phase of all four species. This suggested that aspirin inhibited cell culture growth in a dose-dependent manner. Aspirin’s toxic affect to these important commensal species of the human gut should be considered by practitioners prior to prescription
Illness Stigma, Social Connectedness, and Health in People living with Chronic Illness: A Structural Equation Model
Get PDFThe complexity of chronic or unexplained conditions may lead to potential stigma for those suffering long-term symptoms as they do not follow the expected pattern of recovery following diagnosis and treatment. Experiencing such illness-related stigma has potential for leading to a belongingness identity of detachment with implications for health across physical, social, and psychological dimensions. This study aimed to examine the relationship between stigma, social connection, mental health, physical health, and social functioning in a group of 231 participants with ongoing symptoms of chronic illness through structural equation modeling. The fit indices all suggest that the model reasonably fits the data with greater stigma predicting poorer social connectedness, which in turn mediated quality of life across all areas of mental, social, and physical health. The pathway through social connection provided stronger results than the direct path for mental health and social functioning suggesting that social connectedness has a greater influence on these factors than stigma alone. Findings situate social connectedness as a psychosocial factor that is inversely associated with illness-related stigma and support theoretical predictions that this aspect of belongingness predicts all aspects of physical, social and mental health. Further theoretical development on stigma within the realm of health psychology may prove advantageous to increasing knowledge and producing more efficacious interventions
The Influence of Time and Location on Moral Dilemmas Based on a Driving Simulator Study
Get PDFHow humans make decisions in dangerous driving situations like moral dilemmas can contribute to developing acceptable ethical principles for autonomous vehicles (AVs). This study investigates whether drivers make utilitarian choices (choices that maximize lives saved and minimize harm) in unavoidable automobile accidents under different time pressure conditions and collision subject locations with a driving simulator. Thirty-one undergraduates participated in this study using a STISM driving simulator in which participants responded to two types of driving moral dilemmas (pedestrian and vehicle related). Participants generally made utilitarian choices. However, the percentage of utilitarian choices varied with time pressure in the vehicle scenarios but not the pedestrian scenarios. Additionally, participants in vehicle scenarios preferred responding right over responding left. There was no significant association between utilitarianism and impulsiveness and no effect of impulsiveness and time pressure on reaction time. The results have potential implications and applications for AVs
