The effects of this on the necro-landscape are examined here in terms of what happens to those who die all alone, untended by others (“lonely death”) as well as new practices emerging to replace the family grave and family caregivers with an alternative social model (what is called “promiscuous care”). The essay argues that, at both ends of this spectrum, smell can be used to register both the unsociality of a bad death, as well as the shifting sociality of new ways of handling the dead.

Based on fieldwork, this article reports tectonic ruptures within Japan’s household-based mortuary system and Buddhist practice. It takes readers to ENDEX, the premier convention for Japan’s ‘ending industry’, where new ‘life’ emerges from the falling away of older death rites that get remixed and remade into newer experimental practices, businesses and business subjectivities. Examples range from high-tech gravestones and drones to competitions for the ‘Hottest Priest’ and best encoffiner. This article engages with these new necro-technologies and asks why the old deathcare system is falling apart. What are the socio-material effects of its unravelling? And what does the futurity of necro-praxis look like in Japan (and elsewhere) when the existential fabric of mortality may be torn apart?.}, Doi = {10.1111/1467-8322.12812}, Key = {fds371289} } @book{fds374597, Author = {Allison, A}, Title = {Permitted and Prohibited Desires: Mothers, Comics, and Censorship in Japan}, Pages = {1-206}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9780520219908}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1525/9780520923447}, Abstract = {This provocative study of gender and sexuality in contemporary Japan investigates elements of Japanese popular culture including erotic comic books, stories of mother-son incest, lunchboxes—or obentos—that mothers ritualistically prepare for schoolchildren, and children's cartoons.

Conserving the space needed for a cemetery and the time required for grave visitation, such delivery-style columbaria embody convenience. Yet they also provide a technological solution to the social precarity facing many Japanese today of being solo in death. With a high aging population, declining rates of both marriage and childbirth, and more citizens living and dying alone, what was once conventional - a family grave to enter with a successor to tend to one’s spirit after that - is becoming a thing of the past. Yet, without a grave, the deceased become “disconnected souls.” That the automated columbarium offers a home of sorts and grievability of a kind with a prosthetics of sociality is what this essay proposes.}, Doi = {10.4337/9781802202397.00016}, Key = {fds372253} } %% Andrews, Edna @article{fds372813, Author = {Eierud, C and Michael, A and Banks, D and Andrews, E}, Title = {Resting-state functional connectivity in lifelong musicians}, Journal = {Psychoradiology}, Volume = {3}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/psyrad/kkad003}, Abstract = {Background: It has been postulated that musicianship can lead to enhanced brain and cognitive reserve, but the neural mechanisms of this effect have been poorly understood. Lifelong professional musicianship in conjunction with novel brain imaging techniques offers a unique opportunity to examine brain network differences between musicians and matched controls. Objective: In this study we aim to investigate how resting-state functional networks (FNs) manifest in lifelong active musicians. We will evaluate the FNs of lifelong musicians and matched healthy controls using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: We derive FNs using the data-driven independent component analysis approach and analyze the functional network connectivity (FNC) between the default mode (DMN), sensory-motor (SMN), visual (VSN), and auditory (AUN) networks. We examine whether the linear regressions between FNC and age are different between the musicians and the control group. Results: The age trajectory of average FNC across all six pairs of FNs shows significant differences between musicians and controls. Musicians show an increase in average FNC with age while controls show a decrease (P = 0.013). When we evaluated each pair of FN, we note that in musicians FNC values increased with age in DMN-AUN, DMN-VSN, and SMN-VSN and in controls FNC values decreased with age in DMN-AUN, DMN-SMN, AUN-SMN, and SMN-VSN. Conclusion: This result provides early evidence that lifelong musicianship may contribute to enhanced brain and cognitive reserve. Results of this study are preliminary and need to be replicated with a larger number of participants.}, Doi = {10.1093/psyrad/kkad003}, Key = {fds372813} } %% Baker, Lee D. @article{fds373890, Author = {Baker, LD}, Title = {The Gamble and the Game: Reflections on Writing From Savage to Negro}, Journal = {Transforming Anthropology}, Volume = {31}, Number = {2}, Pages = {96-99}, Year = {2023}, Month = {October}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/traa.12258}, Doi = {10.1111/traa.12258}, Key = {fds373890} } %% Canada, Tracie @article{fds375996, Author = {Canada, T}, Title = {The myth of the college football family has nothing to do with love}, Publisher = {The Guardian}, Year = {2024}, Month = {February}, Key = {fds375996} } @article{fds373891, Author = {Canada, T}, Title = {From Savage to Negro: The Only Required Text}, Journal = {Transforming Anthropology}, Volume = {31}, Number = {2}, Pages = {90-91}, Publisher = {WILEY}, Year = {2023}, Month = {October}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/traa.12261}, Doi = {10.1111/traa.12261}, Key = {fds373891} } @article{fds368364, Author = {Canada, T}, Title = {Black Mothers and NFL Moms Safety Clinics: An Ethnography of Care in American Football}, Journal = {Journal of Sport and Social Issues}, Volume = {47}, Number = {2}, Pages = {103-125}, Publisher = {SAGE Publications}, Year = {2023}, Month = {April}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/01937235221144431}, Abstract = {Drawing on years of ethnographic research, this article highlights the importance of Black women's mothering, care work, and labor as their sons find success in American football.

The former focuses on the player and all that he contributes to the program, and is clearly concerned with the capitalist value of his athletic labor. The latter focuses on the man, someone who takes the field, lives a life beyond it, and must navigate white supremacist and anti-Black spaces.

The expert panel selected and rated a final list of 20 research questions. After rating, the MHPSS research agenda favoured applied research questions (eg, regarding workforce strengthening and monitoring and evaluation practices). Compared with research priorities for the previous decade, there is a shift towards systems-oriented implementation research (eg, multisectoral integration and ensuring sustainability) rather than efficacy research. Answering these research questions selected and rated by the expert panel will require improved partnerships between researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and communities affected by humanitarian crises, and improved equity in funding for MHPSS research in low-income and middle-income countries.}, Doi = {10.1016/S2214-109X(23)00128-6}, Key = {fds370939} } @article{fds370940, Author = {O'Connor, RC and Worthman, CM and Abanga, M and Athanassopoulou, N and Boyce, N and Chan, LF and Christensen, H and Das-Munshi, J and Downs, J and Koenen, KC and Moutier, CY and Templeton, P and Batterham, P and Brakspear, K and Frank, RG and Gilbody, S and Gureje, O and Henderson, D and John, A and Kabagambe, W and Khan, M and Kessler, D and Kirtley, OJ and Kline, S and Kohrt, B and Lincoln, AK and Lund, C and Mendenhall, E and Miranda, R and Mondelli, V and Niederkrotenthaler, T and Osborn, D and Pirkis, J and Pisani, AR and Prawira, B and Rachidi, H and Seedat, S and Siskind, D and Vijayakumar, L and Yip, PSF}, Title = {Gone Too Soon: priorities for action to prevent premature mortality associated with mental illness and mental distress.}, Journal = {Lancet Psychiatry}, Volume = {10}, Number = {6}, Pages = {452-464}, Year = {2023}, Month = {June}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S2215-0366(23)00058-5}, Abstract = {Globally, too many people die prematurely from suicide and the physical comorbidities associated with mental illness and mental distress. The purpose of this Review is to mobilise the translation of evidence into prioritised actions that reduce this inequity. The mental health research charity, MQ Mental Health Research, convened an international panel that used roadmapping methods and review evidence to identify key factors, mechanisms, and solutions for premature mortality across the social-ecological system. We identified 12 key overarching risk factors and mechanisms, with more commonalities than differences across the suicide and physical comorbidities domains. We also identified 18 actionable solutions across three organising principles: the integration of mental and physical health care; the prioritisation of prevention while strengthening treatment; and the optimisation of intervention synergies across social-ecological levels and the intervention cycle. These solutions included accessible, integrated high-quality primary care; early life, workplace, and community-based interventions co-designed by the people they should serve; decriminalisation of suicide and restriction of access to lethal means; stigma reduction; reduction of income, gender, and racial inequality; and increased investment. The time to act is now, to rebuild health-care systems, leverage changes in funding landscapes, and address the effects of stigma, discrimination, marginalisation, gender violence, and victimisation.}, Doi = {10.1016/S2215-0366(23)00058-5}, Key = {fds370940} } @article{fds360605, Author = {Manfro, PH and Pereira, RB and Rosa, M and Cogo-Moreira, H and Fisher, HL and Kohrt, BA and Mondelli, V and Kieling, C}, Title = {Adolescent depression beyond DSM definition: a network analysis.}, Journal = {Eur Child Adolesc Psychiatry}, Volume = {32}, Number = {5}, Pages = {881-892}, Year = {2023}, Month = {May}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00787-021-01908-1}, Abstract = {Calls for refining the understanding of depression beyond diagnostic criteria have been growing in recent years. We examined the prevalence and relevance of DSM and non-DSM depressive symptoms in two Brazilian school-based adolescent samples with two commonly used scales, the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-A) and the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (MFQ). We analyzed cross-sectional data from two similarly recruited samples of adolescents aged 14-16 years, as part of the Identifying Depression Early in Adolescence (IDEA) study in Brazil. We assessed dimensional depressive symptomatology using the PHQ-A in the first sample (n = 7720) and the MFQ in the second sample (n = 1070). We conducted network analyses to study symptom structure and centrality estimates of the two scales. Additionally, we compared centrality of items included (e.g., low mood, anhedonia) and not included in the DSM (e.g., low self-esteem, loneliness) in the MFQ. Sad mood and worthlessness items were the most central items in the network structure of the PHQ-A. In the MFQ sample, self-hatred and loneliness, two non-DSM features, were the most central items and DSM and non-DSM items in this scale formed a highly interconnected network of symptoms. Furthermore, analysis of the MFQ sample revealed DSM items not to be more frequent, severe or interconnected than non-DSM items, but rather part of a larger network of symptoms.

Data for health facility review was collected from local primary health and specialist facilities while key policy documents were critically analysed for service provision and stigma alleviation activities. Thematic analysis was used to analyse patterns within the interview data.

The CFC program trains "Peer Caregivers" and managers and has four components: the identification of colleagues in need of support; psychological first aid; linkage to resources; and the promotion of hope among colleagues experiencing demoralization. Qualitative interviews (n = 18) were conducted with Peer Caregivers and Managers participating in the initial piloting of the program. Results suggest that the CFC program shifts the organizational culture, teaches staff skills for recognizing and supporting others in distress, and supports those staff who are already providing these services informally. Findings suggest that staff distress resulted primarily from external factors and secondarily from internal organizational stressors. External stressors were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the program has promise for addressing staff burnout, other organizational efforts are needed to simultaneously promote staff wellness. Ultimately, psychosocial peer support programs for health care workers are feasible and potentially impactful, but also require other systemic changes within a health care system to improve and sustain staff well-being.}, Doi = {10.3390/ijerph20054536}, Key = {fds369997} } @article{fds369877, Author = {Pedersen, GA and Pfeffer, KA and Brown, AD and Carswell, K and Willhoite, A and Schafer, A and Kohrt, BA}, Title = {Identifying Core Competencies for Remote Delivery of Psychological Interventions: A Rapid Review.}, Journal = {Psychiatr Serv}, Volume = {74}, Number = {3}, Pages = {292-304}, Year = {2023}, Month = {March}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1176/appi.ps.202100677}, Abstract = {OBJECTIVE: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a rapid shift toward remote delivery of psychological interventions and transition to voice-only and video communication platforms. However, agreement is lacking on key competencies that are aligned with equitable approaches for standardized training and supervision of remote psychological intervention delivery. A rapid review was conducted to identify and describe competencies that could inform best practices of remote services delivery during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: Scopus, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO were searched for literature published in English (2015-2021) on competencies for synchronous, remote psychological interventions that can be measured through observation. RESULTS: Of 135 articles identified, 12 met inclusion criteria. Studies targeted populations in high-income countries (11 in the United States and Canada, one in Saudi Arabia) and focused on specialist practitioners, professionals, or trainees in professional or prelicensure programs working with adult populations. Ten skill categories were identified: emergency and safety protocols for remote services, facilitating communication over remote platforms, remote consent procedures, technological literacy, practitioner-client identification for remote services, confidentiality during remote services, communication skills during remote services, engagement and interpersonal skills for remote services, establishing professional boundaries during remote services, and encouraging continuity of care during remote services. CONCLUSIONS: These 10 skills domains can offer a foundation for refinement of discrete, individual-level competencies that can be aligned with global initiatives promoting use of observational competency assessment during training and supervision programs for psychological interventions.

Recent reviews of stigma research have identified gaps in the field, including limited cultural and contextual adaptation of interventions, a lack of contextual psychometric information on evaluation tools, and, most notably, a lack of multi-level strategies for stigma reduction. The Indigo Partnership research programme will address these knowledge gaps through a multi-country, multi-site collaboration for anti-stigma interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) (China, Ethiopia, India, Nepal, and Tunisia). The Indigo Partnership aims to: (1) carry out research to strengthen the understanding of mechanisms of stigma processes and reduce stigma and discrimination against people with mental health conditions in LMICs; and (2) establish a strong collaborative research consortium through the conduct of this programme. Specifically, the Indigo Partnership involves developing and pilot testing anti-stigma interventions at the community, primary care, and mental health specialist care levels, with a systematic approach to cultural and contextual adaptation across the sites. This work also involves transcultural translation and adaptation of stigma and discrimination measurement tools. The Indigo Partnership operates with the key principle of partnering with people with lived experience of mental health conditions for the development and implementation of the pilot interventions, as well as capacity building and cross-site learning to actively develop a more globally representative and equitable mental health research community.

However, knowledge gaps exist around national estimations of depression and anxiety, and the associations between the prevalence of these disorders with climate-related and sociodemographic risk factors. To address these gaps, this study analysed data from a nationally representative panel study in Bangladesh that examined climate-related and sociodemographic correlates of depression and anxiety. METHODS: Two rounds of nationally representative household panel data were collected from urban and rural areas between August and September, 2019, and January and February, 2020. Households were selected for inclusion across 150 enumeration areas as the primary sampling units with use of a two-stage stratified random sampling design, and survey instruments were administered to the available adult member of the household. Depression and anxiety were measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scales, respectively, and weighted prevalence estimates were calculated on the basis of the 2011 national population census. Data on temperature and humidity were collected from 43 weather stations and constructed as mean values for the 2-month period preceding each round of the survey. Self-reported exposure to flooding was collected for a 12-month recall period. We applied a weighted population average logistic model on the pooled sample of both surveys to analyse the associations between ambient temperature, humidity, exposure to flooding, seasonality, sociodemographic variables, and three outcome conditions (depression, anxiety, and co-occurring depression and anxiety; at the level of p<0·1). The models accounted for temporal and spatial heterogeneity. Standard errors were clustered at the level of each primary sampling unit. FINDINGS: 3606 individuals were included with 3·5% dropout in the second survey round (pooled sample n=7086; age range 15-90 years; 2898 [40·9%] men and 4188 [59·1%] women). National weighted prevalence estimates were 16·3% (95% CI 14·7-17·8) for depression, 6·0% (4·7-7·3) for anxiety, and 4·8% (3·7-5·9) for co-occurring depression and anxiety. We observed no significant associations between overall seasonality (summer vs winter) and the odds of depression (adjusted odds ratio 3·14 [95% CI 0·52-19·13], p=0·22), anxiety (0·16 [0·02-1·41], p=0·10), or co-occurring depression and anxiety (0·13 [0·01-1·49], p=0·10). An increase in mean temperature of 1°C within the 2 months preceding the surveys was associated with increased odds of anxiety (1·21 [1·00-1·47], p=0·046) and increased odds of co-occurring depression and anxiety (1·24 [1·00-1·53], p=0·045), whereas increased temperature was not associated with depression (0·90 [0·77-1·04], p=0·15). An increase in mean humidity of 1 g/m3 was not associated with depression (0·99 [0·96-1·02], p=0·60) or anxiety (1·04 [0·99-1·09], p=0·13), but was associated with co-occurring depression and anxiety (1·06 [1·00-1·12], p=0·064). Exposure to flooding within the 12 months preceding the survey rounds was associated with increased odds of all outcome conditions (depression, 1·31 [1·00-1·70], p=0·047; anxiety, 1·69 [1·21-2·36], p=0·0020; and co-occurring depression and anxiety, 1·87 [1·31-2·68], p=0·0006). INTERPRETATION: Climate-related shocks and other stressors have an important association with the burden of depression and anxiety in Bangladesh. Community-level interventions for common mental disorders need to be developed and assessed for safety, feasibility, and effectiveness in a Bangladeshi context. Further research on climate-related stressors is needed over different timespans and time intervals.

The Community Case Detection Tool (CCDT) is developed to improve community-based detection and increase help-seeking among children and adolescents in need of mental health care. The CCDT uses brief, easily understood pictorial vignettes that represent common symptoms of childhood internalizing and externalizing problems. The tool is developed for gatekeepers to support proactive detection of children in need of mental health care and to subsequently encourage help-seeking. This study evaluates the accuracy of the CCDT in detecting children and adolescents aged 6-18 years with significant mental health care needs in a conflict-affected setting: the occupied Palestinian territory. METHODS: Teachers and community workers were trained to use the CCDT. Children detected using the tool were invited for a structured clinical interview with a psychologist using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime version, as well as the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, to test the accuracy of CCDT-based detection. RESULTS: Our sample consists of 52 children positively detected as matching with one of the vignettes. Approximately three of four detected children were indicated for psychological treatment based on the clinical interview (positive predictive value = .769), and 64.6% returned 'borderline' or 'abnormal' total difficulty scores on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire.

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify risk factors for first-onset depression among adolescents and young people. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE (Ovid), PsycINFO, Cochrane Database, Web of Science, Lilacs, African Journals Online and Global Health (July 2009 to December 2020) for longitudinal studies assessing risk factors for first-onset depression among adolescents and young people aged 10-25 years. Meta-analyses generated summary odds ratio (OR) estimates. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO CRD42018103973. RESULTS: Nineteen studies representing 21 unique populations were included in the meta-analysis. Among studies reporting race/ethnicity, 79% of participants were of White/European descent. Seventeen studies were from high-income countries, with only two from an upper-middle-income country (China). Odds for first-onset depression were significantly greater for girls compared to boys (n = 13; OR = 1.78 [1.78, 2.28], p < 0.001) and for youth with other mental health problems at baseline (n = 4; OR = 3.20 [1.95, 5.23], p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: Most longitudinal studies do not report risk factors specifically for first-onset depression. Moreover, predictive data are limited to predominantly White populations in high-income countries. Future research must be more ethnically and geographically representative.

This approach is central to UNICEF's efforts to expand the use of standard data collection tools across settings and close the global data gap on adolescent mental health. METHODS: We conducted transcultural translation and adaptation processes in Belize using the Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS). Items from the original scale were translated into Belizean English and Kriol, reviewed by local mental health experts, and discussed in focus groups. Cognitive interviews were conducted with adolescents and parents. The information collected was analyzed with cultural equivalence domains: comprehensibility, acceptability, relevance, completeness, and technical equivalence. Bilingual discussions of findings informed the final item wordings, and the adapted tool was back-translated. RESULTS: Adaptation of terms and specific expressions were done to improve comprehensibility and to ensure the appropriate clinical meaning. For example, the expression 'feeling scared' was perceived to imply immaturity or threaten masculinity and was adapted to 'feeling afraid.' Expressions like "shaky" were modified to "trimble" in Kriol. Statements were reworded as questions to enhance acceptability and comprehensibility. DISCUSSION: A culturally adapted version of the RCADS was developed for use among adolescents in Belize in Belizean English and Kriol.

METHODS: Adolescents were recruited from the general population and from nongovernmental organizations working with adolescents in need of mental health support. The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 were culturally adapted and translated into isiXhosa and administered to 302 adolescents (56.9% female). The Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia was administered by trained clinicians as the gold standard diagnostic measure for depression and anxiety. RESULTS: For the PHQ-9, the area under the curve was 0.88 for the full sample of adolescents (10-19 years old). A score of ≥10 had 91% sensitivity and 76% specificity for detecting adolescents with depression. For the GAD-7, the area under the curve was 0.78, and cutoff scores with an optimal sensitivity-specificity balance were low (≥6).

METHODS: Participants comprised of 256 adolescents aged 10-14 years and 15-19 years, who completed the adapted RCADS (10 depression items, 12 anxiety items) in one-on-one interviews, followed by a diagnostic assessment using Kiddie Schedule of Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia administered by trained clinicians. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, diagnostic odds ratios, area under the curve (AUC), and Youden's Index were calculated for RCADS cutoffs and scores on the total scale and anxiety and depression subscales. RESULTS: For adolescents aged 10-14 years (n = 161), the AUC was 0.72 for the full scale, 0.67 for anxiety subscale, and 0.76 for depression subscale. For adolescents aged 15-19 years (n = 95), the AUCs were 0.82, 0.77, and 0.83. Most depression items performed well in discriminating those with and without diagnoses. Separation anxiety items performed poorly. "Thoughts of death" were common even among adolescents not meeting diagnostic criteria. The RCADS depression subscale presented the strongest psychometric properties with adolescents aged 15-19 years (at cutoff of 13, sensitivity = 0.83, specificity = 0.77, positive predictive value = 0.47, negative predictive value = 0.95, odds ratio = 15.96). CONCLUSION: The adapted RCADS-22 had acceptable categorization for adolescents aged 10-14 years and excellent categorization for adolescents aged 15-19 years; therefore, the tool is recommended for use among the latter age group.

Although expanding specialty services is needed, this is neither sufficient nor necessary to comprehensively address the current and future demand. Traditional models of care which have focused on mental disorders, while useful for many, remain out of reach, unaffordable, and not timely for helping the vast majority of individuals in need of mental health support. There is a growing movement of community-based networks and organizations which aim to fill this need by harnessing existing community resources to promote mental health and prevent mental and substance use disorders. This paper describes our effort to derive a blue-print for an approach, which we call “Community Initiated Care (CIC)”, building on these real-world experiences and the growing science on lay person delivered brief psychosocial interventions in community settings. CIC serves as a back-bone for training lay persons to support the mental health and well-being of others in their communities. CIC is envisioned as an equitable, efficient, safe, and timely form of contextualized support to promote mental health and prevent self-harm, mental health and substance use problems. CIC is not intended to replace clinical interventions; instead, we envisage the supportive encounter to use a person-centered approach to bolster existing positive coping skills, promote positive social engagement, reduce risk of future mental health problems, and encourage other forms of help seeking when appropriate. This article explores how our thinking is aligned with and responsive to the strategies and tactics of the Contextual Behavioral Science Task Force to promote programs that are multi-dimensional, process-based, prosocial, practical, and multi-level. Development, implementation, and evaluation of CIC will not only advance contextual behavioral science but also move society forward to more equitable mental health and well-being.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.jcbs.2022.11.008}, Key = {fds368548} } @article{fds368549, Author = {Carvajal-Velez, L and Harris Requejo and J and Ahs, JW and Idele, P and Adewuya, A and Cappa, C and Guthold, R and Kapungu, C and Kieling, C and Patel, V and Patton, G and Scott, JG and Servili, C and Wasserman, D and Kohrt, BA}, Title = {Increasing Data and Understanding of Adolescent Mental Health Worldwide: UNICEF's Measurement of Mental Health Among Adolescents at the Population Level Initiative.}, Journal = {J Adolesc Health}, Volume = {72}, Number = {1S}, Pages = {S12-S14}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jadohealth.2021.03.019}, Doi = {10.1016/j.jadohealth.2021.03.019}, Key = {fds368549} } @article{fds368550, Author = {Carvajal-Velez, L and Ahs, JW and Requejo, JH and Kieling, C and Lundin, A and Kumar, M and Luitel, NP and Marlow, M and Skeen, S and Tomlinson, M and Kohrt, BA}, Title = {Measurement of Mental Health Among Adolescents at the Population Level: A Multicountry Protocol for Adaptation and Validation of Mental Health Measures.}, Journal = {J Adolesc Health}, Volume = {72}, Number = {1S}, Pages = {S27-S33}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jadohealth.2021.11.035}, Abstract = {PURPOSE: Mental disorders are among the leading causes of disability among adolescents aged 10-19 years. However, data on prevalence of mental health conditions are extremely sparse across low- and middle-income countries, even though most adolescents live in these settings. This data gap is further exacerbated because few brief instruments for adolescent mental health are validated in these settings, making population-level measurement of adolescent mental health especially cumbersome to carry out. In response, the UNICEF has undertaken the Measurement of Mental Health Among Adolescents at the Population Level (MMAP) initiative, validating open-access brief measures and encouraging data collection in this area. METHODS: This protocol presents the MMAP mixed-methods approach for cultural adaptation and clinical validation of adolescent mental health data collection tools across settings. Qualitative activities include an initial translation and adaptation, review by mental health experts, focus-group discussions with adolescents, cognitive interviews, synthesis of findings, and back-translation. An enriched sample of adolescents with mental health problems is then interviewed with the adapted tool, followed by gold-standard semistructured diagnostic interviews. RESULTS: The study protocol is being implemented in Belize, Kenya, Nepal, and South Africa and includes measures for anxiety, depression, functional limitations, suicidality, care-seeking, and connectedness. Analyses, including psychometrics, will be conducted individually by country and combined across settings to assess the MMAP methodological process.

It is also a political and ethical argument relevant to what we in the planet are witnessing both at the inter-state conflict and in resurgence of the pollical society displacing the “social and the individual” separated from life on Earth, to restore “communal relations” among animal humans and all living organism on earth to reconnect with the Earthy and Cosmic energies separated from “society” (e.g., climate crisis).}, Doi = {10.4324/9781003361152-11}, Key = {fds374456} } %% Reddy, William M. @article{fds370108, Author = {Reddy, WM}, Title = {TO FLY THE PLANE: LANGUAGE GAMES, HISTORICAL NARRATIVES, AND EMOTIONS}, Journal = {History and Theory}, Volume = {62}, Number = {1}, Pages = {30-61}, Year = {2023}, Month = {March}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/hith.12289}, Abstract = {The common Western distinction between reason and emotion (which is not found outside Western-influenced traditions) tends to obscure an important distinction between two kinds of thinking: logical and mathematical reasoning, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, what is sometimes called “situational awareness,” a kind of thinking that involves striving to take into account multiple simultaneously true descriptions of a situation. Emotion, as understood in appraisal theory (that is, as inherently cognitive and intentional), is one kind of thinking that contributes to—indeed, is crucial to—situational awareness in this sense. Intention also belongs to situational awareness. Whatever long-term goals we pursue, present action must be attuned to immediate circumstances. One is faced with an indefinite number of ways to describe what is going on at any moment, and this second kind of thinking involves striving to identify a crucial subset of these true descriptions that one can respond to via an intentional action, procedure, or plan. Maintaining situational awareness in this sense is the goal of “crew resource management” (CRM), a flight crew teamwork strategy and emotional regime aimed at ensuring airline safety. The philosophical works of Wittgenstein, Anscombe, Austin, Habermas, and Danto, among others, help explain the remarkable successes of crew resource management.

It focuses on a relationship between two brothers, one injured in a motorcycle accident and in a coma, and the other caring for him. The article asks: How do people navigate life-and-death situations through both stillness and motion? Addressing this question requires recasting traumatic injury from a wound that lodges in a single body to an intersubjective problem of discontinuous and relational traffic. In moments of transfer to the hospital, prognosis about vital signs, and reflections on death, the embodiment of and care for traumatic injury materializes through uneven relationships of intermittent motion. The article develops the analytic of vital traffic to describe these relationships and analyzes the temporal and spatial discontinuities that shape and undermine stability after injury occurs. Differences in vital traffic matter to patients, families, providers, and to the very possibility of survival. The implication of this finding is a better understanding of the sociality of injury and its care.

Interviews and observant participation conducted in a hospital intensive care unit during the Covid-19 pandemic reveal how health care workers connected job duties with extraordinary emotional, physical, and moral burdens. We explore tensions between perceived obligations of health care professionals and the structural contexts of work. Key findings cluster around the moral imperatives of health care work and the distress that work engendered as work spaces, senses of vocation, patient and family interactions, and end-of-life care shifted. While the danger of working beyond limits has long been an ordinary feature of health care work, it has now become a chronic crisis.

According to this narrative, referred to here as the Gonzalo mystique, Shining Path zealots were prepared to submit to Guzmán's authority and will - no matter how violent or suicidal - because they viewed him as a messiah-prophet who would usher in a new era of communist utopia. Drawing on newly available sources, including the minutes of Shining Path's 1988-1989 congress, this article complicates the Gonzalo mystique narrative, tracing the unrelenting efforts by middle- and high-ranking militants to challenge, undermine, disobey, and even unseat Guzmán throughout the insurgency. Far from seeing their leader as the undisputed cosmocrat of the popular imagination, these militants recognized Guzmán for who he was: a deeply flawed man with errant ideas, including a dubious interpretation of Maoism, problematic military strategy, and a revolutionary path that was anything but shining.}, Doi = {10.1017/lar.2023.25}, Key = {fds371428} } %% Stein, Rebecca L. @article{fds374511, Author = {Stein, R}, Title = {The Visual Terms of State Violence in Israel/Palestine: Interview with Rebecca L.

At the heart of this paper is a lethal incident of Israeli state violence in Gaza, querying its anomalous status as a Palestinian testimonial at a moment when Palestinian eye-witnesses accounts were largely absent from public Israeli view in media sources. The essay asks: how does one make sense of this scene of Palestinian trauma and the enormous attention it garnered among Israelis in the context of a national media that worked to systematically occlude the view of Israeli state violence and its Palestinian victims?
