Improving Access and Mental Health for Youth Through Virtual Models of Care

The overall objective of this research is to evaluate the use of a mobile health smartphone application (app) to improve the mental health of youth between the ages of 14–25 years, with symptoms of anxiety/depression. This project includes 115 youth who are accessing outpatient mental health services at one of three hospitals and two community agencies. The youth and care providers are using eHealth technology to enhance care. The technology uses mobile questionnaires to help promote self-assessment and track changes to support the plan of care. The technology also allows secure virtual treatment visits that youth can participate in through mobile devices. This longitudinal study uses participatory action research with mixed methods. The majority of participants identified themselves as Caucasian (66.9%). Expectedly, the demographics revealed that Anxiety Disorders and Mood Disorders were highly prevalent within the sample (71.9% and 67.5% respectively). Findings from the qualitative summary established that both staff and youth found the software and platform beneficial

Wooden Musical Instruments - Different Forms of Knowledge: Book of End of WoodMusICK COST Action FP1302

International audienceMusical instrument are fundamental tools of human expression that reveal and reflect historical, technological, social and cultural aspects of times and people. These three-dimensional, polyma-teric objects-at times considered artworks, other times technical objects-are the most powerful way to communicate emotions and to connect people and communities with the surrounding world. The participants in WoodMusICK (WOODen MUSical Instrument Conservation and Knowledge) COST Action FP1302 have aimed to combine forces and to foster research on wooden musical instruments in order to preserve, develop and disseminate knowledge on musical instruments in Europe through inter-and transdisciplinary research. This four-year program, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology), has involved a multidisciplinary and multinational research group composed of curators, conservators/restorers, wood, material and mechanical scientists, chemists, acousticians, organologists and instrument makers. The goal of the COST Action was to improve the knowledge and preservation of wooden musical instruments heritage by increasing the interaction and synergy between different disciplines

Israel's Kin Across the Jordan: A Social History of the Ammonites in the Iron Age II (1000-500 BCE).

The Hebrew Bible portrays the origins of the “sons of Ammon” or “Ammonites” in the hoary past, the product of incestuous relations between Abraham’s nephew Lot and his younger daughter (Genesis 19). The biblical book of Judges, traditionally thought to represent events of the twelfth century BCE, portrays the Ammonites with a king before Israel (Judges 11). On the other hand, extant primary sources—Neo-Assyrian texts, Ammonite epigraphs, and archaeological finds—refocus attention on the eighth through sixth centuries BCE as the main period of Ammonite sociopolitical and economic growth and complexity. This dissertation investigates the social history of the ancient Ammonites during the Iron Age II (ca. 1000–500 BCE) with a focus on the transformative role that the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian empires played in Ammonite sociopolitical and economic development. In addition to the biblical texts, this study examines the growing body of archaeological remains, Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian texts, and Ammonite epigraphs. Furthermore, this study reflects on the practices of the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian empires in administering and controlling the Levant, and cites cross-cultural examples of how empires affect peripheral societies in order to understand changes among the Ammonites. During this period, the area saw growth in the number of elite items, growth in the use of writing for administrative and display purposes, growth in sedentary settlement, and a growth in the number of imported items. This period also brought the first secure references to Ammonite kings and their officials. Taken together in the light of imperial domination, one can explain the changes visible among the Ammonites as the product of several identifiable factors. In the ninth century, the need for security against Israel, Damascus, and the re-emerging Neo-Assyrian Empire provoked military organization. As time went on, other factors grew in importance, including: 1) the elites’ increasing access to wealth through long-distance trade; 2) elite access to and appropriation of internationally recognizable markers of status, authority, and power; 3) the elites’ role in securing and fructifying the Amman Plateau for their own needs and in order to supply the needs of the Assyrian military.Ph.D.Near Eastern StudiesUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
