Compulsive comorbidities: links between generalized anxiety disorder and substance use disorders among African American women
Get PDFThis study proposed to examine the impact of substance use and abuse on the treatment and coping mechanisms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in African American women. Comorbid mental health problems such as depression and anxiety are common in individuals with alcohol and other drug problems. The co-occurrence of substance use disorders (SUDs) and anxiety disorders has now been well documented (Vorspan, Mehtelli, Dupuy, Bloch, & Lépine, 2015).
Research has shown that up to 80% of clients with alcohol or drug issues have comorbid mental health issues. However, little is known about the occurrence of this association in African American women. The findings of this research would have great implications for treatment and prevention in this underserved population.
The approach to data analysis involved two levels of examination: 1) univariate statistics (descriptive statistics will be used to provide simple summaries about the sample and all of the study measures) and 2) bivariate analysis for descriptive purposes (depending on the variable type), correlations, and survival analysis were performed to document the association between the independent variables and outcome variables.
The present study examined the link between mental (anxiety disorders and the severity of anxiety symptoms) and drug use disorders in a sample of African American females (N = 537, aged 19 to 56 years old). Preliminary analysis indicated that only high (and not low or moderate) perceived family support was shown to be a protective factor in terms of the mixed-effects regression analysis of GAD as well as the severity of anxiety/fear symptoms. Additionally, the following factors proved to be significant in increasing the likelihood of GAD prevalence or having more severe anxiety/fear symptoms: being dually diagnosed across all models, some level of moderate to severe drug and alcohol composite scores, criminal justice charges, and having some type of insurance that did not include Medicaid. Findings from the current study are discussed in terms of their implications for prevention and treatment of comorbid drug use and mental health disorders among minority populations.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Brandi Barnes, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-17 at 14:17.The student, Brandi Barnes, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2016-04-17 at 14:40.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2016-04-20 at 08:18.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9275 on 2016-07-07 at 14:17:02Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T21:17:35Z (GMT).

Traces and shards of self-injury: Strange accounting with “Author X”
No full textIn this strange account autoethnography, three or four authors explore their lived experiences with self-injury. Strange accounting is both a post-modern style of text, and a method for keeping identities concealed when risks and secrets are in play. Author X, a post-modern place-keeper for an anonymous author who may or may not have contributed to this manuscript, introduces a new dimension and layer of concealment. With Author X in-play and under erasure, the reader will never be sure if there were three or four authors on this manuscript. Through strange accounting, a post-structuralist/postmodernist frame will be applied to understanding the self-injury experience. We frame self-injury as a social practice and, for some, an everyday norm, while remaining acutely aware of the stigma surrounding the topic of self-injury. Each of us, coupled with Author X, provide the others cover to trace stories of self-injury through the literature, our flesh, and our lives
One man's war: a case for systemic change in military mental health
No full textIn the following pages, I will use the story of my patient Lee, who I have been treating in my role as his therapist for a period of three and half years. This case study will be used to illustrate the difficulties that service members face when transitioning back into the community. I will also challenge some of the current leading paradigms that are used for treating individuals with symptoms related to their combat experiences. This case will highlight the importance of individualized, culturally competent treatment within the context of a strong therapeutic alliance and the absence of possible secondary gain. Through a person-in-environment and with a historical appreciation, this case will explore Lee's journey in hopes of providing some generalizable knowledge and offer a different way to conceptualize traumatic experiences and individuals' responses to them.DSWIncludes bibliographical referencesby Brandi M.

"Love, luck, and lollipops": children's television programming in Philadelphia, 1948-1969
No full textThis project explores children's television programming in Philadelphia from the 1940s through the 1960s. Though Philadelphia was the third-largest television market during this period, very little scholarship on its shows exists. The city's broadcasting infrastructure allowed stations to provide programming to air nationally, and many children's shows that began as local Philadelphia fare became national hits. Personalities such as Dick Clark and Ed McMahon went on to national fame after appearing on Philadelphia television. Philadelphia stations created television series for children that were both entertaining and educational. The city was important to the history of the medium, and it was also at the forefront of the attempts to teach through television. The first efforts at in-school television were pioneered in Philadelphia, but the commercial stations had a commitment to education as well. Many shows had explicit educational goals, while others taught by example and encouraged social education. Though critics lamented the state of children's shows as frivolous entertainment as early as the 1950s, Philadelphia stations rose above the criticism and met the criteria that child experts put forth for programming. By examining in detail the children's shows that Philadelphia produced during this time period, it becomes evident that Philadelphia programming elevated what local television was expected to achieve. Shows were just as wholesome and enlightening, if not more so, than their nationally-known counterparts. Philadelphia programming deserves to be recognized as important in the history of children's television and should be remembered as imaginative, creative, and full of passionate people willing to try new approaches to children's entertainment.M.A.Includes abstractIncludes bibliographical referencesby Brandi Scardill

IGIENE E DECORO: BOLOGNA E RIMINI TRA XIII E XV SECOLO
No full textL'articolo prende in considerazione la gestione dei rifiuti a Rimini e a Bologna tra il XIII e il XIV secolo. Le due città sono confrontate con i provvedimenti emanati anche in altre città dell'Emilia-Romagna attraverso gli statuti cittadini. L'analisi delle fonti dimostra che i problemi di igiene e decoro nella maggior parte delle città permasero anche nei secoli successivi, documentati anche da suppliche da parte dei cittadini.The author reviews waste disposal management in Rimini and Bologna in the 13th and 14th centuries. These cities are compared to other cities in the Emilia-Romagna region, by examining the statuti, in order to assess what laws were applied and the effectiveness thereof. The statuti were intents, political proposals aimed at finding solutions to complex issues, most of which were never solved and reappeared in subsequent centuries
Há algo a temer na “Teoria da Restauração” de Brandi? O mito paralisante do medo
No full textIn the last few years we have witnessed the upsurge of publications in the area of conservation and restoration defending the idea that Cesare Brandi´s “Teoria del restauro” has become antiquated and is even impossible to comprehend, due to the identification of inherent contradictions and the difficult reading of its complex form of Italian language. This article aims to discuss some of the points presented by the Spanish author Salvador Muñoz Viñas as contradictions found in Brandi´s theory. Are they really contradictions? Reductionist interpretations end up leading to an polarized debate, that tends to fall into criticism for the sake of criticism. Here we would like to emphasize the need to get over this unproductive dichotomy between “brandians par excellence” and “postmodernists” of conservation. To the development of our argument, we will discuss the concept of restoration, the themes of integrity, authenticity and the brandian concept of potential unity.Nos últimos anos, testemunha-se o surgimento de publicações na área de conservação e restauração, defendendo a ideia de que a “Teoria da Restauração” de Cesare Brandi se tornou antiquada e até mesmo impossível de compreender, devido à identificação de contradições e à leitura difícil decorrente de uma pretensa erudição de sua escrita na língua italiana. Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir alguns dos pontos apresentados pelo autor espanhol Salvador Muñoz Viñas como contradições encontradas na teoria de Brandi. Eles são realmente contradições? Interpretações reducionistas acabam levando a um debate polarizado, que tende a cair na crítica pela crítica. Este artigo defende a necessidade de superar essa dicotomia improdutiva entre "brandianos por excelência" e "pós-modernistas" na conservação do patrimônio cultural. Para o desenvolvimento desse argumento, será discutido o conceito de restauração, os temas de integridade, autenticidade e o conceito brandiano de unidade potencial da obra de arte

Consideraciones acerca de la belleza en el Ordine de San Agustín de Hipona
Get PDFThe following article brings an insight through one of the first
works of Saint Augustin, but from a special view: beauty. Henee, it will
be clear that beauty will become, in Augustin’s consideration as one of
the main realities of his thought, an omnipresent property, a transcendental
structure, which from its joyful perception man will need to prepare through
the purifying path of liberal arts and philosophy. It will also be possible
to appreciate that even when this author uses certain ancient-thoughtstructures on his reflections, it will be able, nevertheless, to State the birth
of a proper and original view of the universeFil: Costarelli Brandi, Hugo Emilio.
