Ritual in the Damascus document and the Gospel of Matthew
No full textThis thesis examines the ritual content of the Damascus Document and the Gospel of
Matthew, demonstrating how community identity is constructed and developed through
the interpretation of the Law represented in each. The content is arranged according to
the ritual typology of Catherine Bell, which organises ritual into six categories:
calendrical ritual, rites of exchange and communion, political ritual, rites of passage, rites of affliction and rites of feasting and fasting. Analysis by type enables comparison and comment on the features and effects of ritual. I identify the Scriptural precedent for the discussions of ritual and any similar texts from the same period. These two ritually dense texts provide a great deal of material representing different perspectives on ritual
function and obligations within a Jewish community setting. The Damascus Document is a non-sectarian legal text from the Second Temple period. The Gospel of Matthew presents the narrative of Jesus with considerable comment on ritual matters, reflecting an audience steeped in Jewish ritual praxis while looking towards an eschatological inclusion of Gentiles who adhere to Jewish obligations. Each offers an insight into a community dissenting from aspects of mainstream Judaism without withdrawing completely. Each community maintains traditional ritual obligations to some extent, but claims additional information clarifying the correct interpretations of the Law. This thesis analyses how they negotiate the practical, and often theological, issues that accompany their distinct practices, creating a community identity through ritual
Primary Care Activity Level 2022 - Preliminary Report by the UMass Chan Analytics Group and MassHealth
No full textUMass Chan Medical School has worked with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) since 2014 to develop risk models for MassHealth to account for how social determinants of health (SDH) and medical complexity jointly predict total health care cost.i The Primary Care Activity Level (PCAL) framework was originally developed by Ash and Ellis in 2012 to calculate risk-adjusted bundled payments for comprehensive primary care in a commercially insured population.ii It was designed to recognize patient differences in the expected cost of all services that primary care practitioners (PCPs) should be providing. Payments based on PCAL are higher for medically and/or socially complex patients than for less complex ones.
In 2023 MassHealth is implementing a Primary Care Capitation program for Accountable Care Organization (ACO) primary care (PC) practices, which extends value-based payment to the provider level. Complex patients need more PC services to manage their needs than less complex patients do, yet such differences in patient complexity are not adequately reflected in fee-for-service reimbursements for primary care procedures. Here we present the development of a PCAL model that can be used to adjust primary care capitation payments based on the health status of each member; the model has been fit to MassHealth-specific data and in consideration of the state’s policy goals

FMM Haikus
No full textIntroduction: This past week I had a writing session with the students in my Structural Inequity, Advocacy, and Justice Pathway in the medical school. I asked the students for some short writing -- 6-word stories, haiku, 55-word stories, and poetry. I share some of them below. I also share with you some of their sentiments about having time to reflect and write. "I used to write much more often (prior to med school), so I really enjoyed this session" (Matthew Hudson UMass Chan '26) - "This session reminded me why I chose an English major during college!" (Elizabeth Waltman UMass Chan '26) - "Thank you for the opportunity to reflect creatively about meaningful medical experiences. I wrote these haikus about some experiences I had in LPP and hospital sessions and wanted to share them with you. The last one I wrote about my grandmother who has since passed from a late detection of cancer she had been complaining about for a while before being diagnosed*. Thanks again, this session really helped me today. I had no idea how nice it would be to take a break from being strictly clinical." (Liana Brooks UMass Chan '26

An ethnographic portrait
No full textDespite a resurgence of academic interest in Myanmar since the "opening" in 2011, little research exists on the growing urban middle-class, and even less on women. This paper is an ethnographic portrait of Chan Chan, a "modern", unmarried 33-year-old middle-class Burmese-Buddhist woman living in contemporary Yangon. I examine how she conceives of agency, and produces herself as an agent. I then analyse how she seeks to carve out agentive spaces for herself while performing "appropriate" femininity from typically subordinate positions. To do this, I examine her practice in pursuit of her projects: in relation to me, to her parents, in her desire to marry, in her imaginations of a husband, and in her pursuit of a better rebirth. Contextualising Chan Chan as a subject in broader societal discourses, this paper throws light on how woman like her do life in contemporary Myanmar, in a time when established discourses on women‘s "high-status" are being increasingly challenged
