Psychosocial Outcomes of African American Traumatic Race-Based Stress

Most research into trauma-related mental health concerns has focused predominantly on European American participants, leading to many African American individuals receiving inaccurate diagnoses, if they are able to receive diagnoses at all. This project sought to help fill that gap by identifying clear definitions and examples of “racial trauma” and “race-based stress” - as defined during participation in a focus group interview by the collective experience-based responses of two undergraduate African American students at a predominantly White institution - and identifying symptoms of posttraumatic stress and dissociation - measured by an online survey distributed to the participants that included questions from the Trauma Symptoms of Discrimination Scale (TSDS) and the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES-II) - that are relevant to those participants. Thematic analysis revealed that racial trauma includes intergenerationality, banality, and outside-in directionality components and that race-based stress includes hyperawareness and intentionality, hyper-competence, constant and everywhere, inside-out directionality, and intersectionality components. On the survey, both participants scored highly on the TSDS (67 and 64), results indicating that feelings of being isolated/set apart, avoidance, low self-esteem, and irritability were the most relevant trauma symptoms for them. Additionally, one participant’s scores indicated high levels of dissociation (55.7 on the DES-II) and the other’s scores indicated low levels of dissociation (23.6 on the DES-II). These findings can help validate the experiences of those with racial trauma or race-based stress and educate mental health professionals on racial trauma, race-based stress, and PTSD and dissociative effects of racial discrimination experiences in African Americans

We with Merth Mowe Savely Synge: Henry V, Royal Musician

King Henry V of England, his battle prowess aside, was a well-acclaimed musician and musical patron. Thus, this thesis first examines the role of music in defining the reign of Henry, through his patronage of the Chapel Royal and its various composers, and his founding of Syon Abbey in 1415. Music was an essential component in defining the relationship between God and monarch, to which end, Henry both composed and promoted music. This royal creative, and political process is discernible in two extant Mass movements, which are preserved in the Old Hall Manuscript, and whose authorship is given as, Roy Henry. Earlier scholarly consensus identified Roy Henry as King Henry IV; current views suggest his son, Henry V. This thesis aligns Roy Henry with Henry V, by way of comparative and stylistic analysis of the two Mass movements within the context of fifteenth-century English sacred music

A Novel Framework To Investigate The Impact Of Social Media Advertising Features On Customer Purchase Intention Using Bwo-Dann

Social Media (SM) has turned out to be a platform for marketing as well as advertising activities. In relation to SM Advertising (SMA), the cultural influence on consumers’ behavior as well as attitude is more vital. Organizations have used up loads of money, time, and also resources on SMA. Nevertheless, it is always a challenge for the organizations to model SM advertisement in a means to effectively attract and also motivate customers into purchasing their brands. This paper proposed a novel framework to scrutinize the SMA features’ impact on Customer Purchase Intention (CPI) by means of the BWO-DANN. Initially, the questionnaires are given to the various customer and their answers are collected. Then, answers will be uploaded and are converted into numerical format into the system. Next, the CSGA-KM is utilizedfor clustering the questionnaires on the base of personal information. Then the BWO-DANN is utilized to train the converted questionnaire set. After that, the system is tested by utilizing KFCV. Finally, through the mean model, CPI is founded out. The extensive experimentation’s outcomes illustrated that the system trounced the other methodologies, and also it is best to examine the CPI
