Nov 9th 2023, 11:48

Abstract
The Armenian Memory Project (AMP) is a collaborative effort designed to harness the energy and resources of the University of Connecticut and the New England Armenian community for the goal of fostering greater understanding of the region’s Armenian cultural heritage and the impact human rights crimes had on the Armenian community. In 2019, students and faculty from the university worked with Armenian American institutions and individuals on an initial component of the AMP, employing digital media technology to tell the story of one immigrant Armenian family, the Dildilians. A unique course was created to produce a documentary film centring around this family’s experiences in Ottoman Turkey before, during, and after the Armenian Genocide. Designed and taught by a documentary filmmaker with support from a family archivist/historian, the course brought students together in a collaborative learning experience. By immersing themselves in the family’s extensive photograph archive, these students came to understand the important role that the past continues to play in the lives of present-day Armenians. Furthermore, by taking on the responsibility as storytellers of the Dildilian narrative, students developed a deeper identification with this distant history and, in a wider sense, an appreciation for the ethical value of memory in bearing witness to the past. This collaborative and participatory framework for teaching using archival collections can serve as a model for creating a transformative learning experience in the study of human rights, war, and genocide.

Nov 9th 2023, 11:48

International Social Work, Ahead of Print. Hosted internally displaced persons become ‘invisible’, leaving them unable to immediately access incoming aid and to be assisted through social work services. Social welfare policy must enhance the intervention paradigm in ways that disseminate social work efforts to entire displaced populations, ensuring that the invisible ones are not left behind.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/journal-article-abstracts/14647001231201059/) Resisting the binary: reconciling victimhood and agency in discourses of sexual violence
Nov 9th 2023, 11:43

Feminist Theory, Ahead of Print. Queer, post-colonial and Black feminist scholars and activists have long cautioned against the dangerous exclusions and complicities entailed in even the best-intentioned efforts to counter sexual violence. The rhetoric of protecting women from sexual violence is frequently and effectively invoked in order to rehabilitate old colonial projects and justify new ones that persecute sexual dissidents, police gender, sexual and caste transgressions and re-inscribe neoliberal and neo-conservative rationalities across the globe. This article argues that many of the exclusionary, violent and coercive consequences of efforts to protect women from sexual violence are rooted in mischaracterisations or mis-descriptions of the subject of sexual violence, and enabled by particular (mis)orientations towards this subject. Specifically, I suggest that the imagination and representation of the subject of sexual violence is subtended by a politically dangerous and conceptually untenable victim/agent binary. Mediated by rationalities of caste, race, class and religion, women are imagined either as vulnerable victims in need of protection, or as capable (even culpable) agents, but never simultaneously both. The failure to reconcile victimhood and agency within discourses of sexual violence is precisely the condition of possibility for a range of violent, exclusionary and regulatory outcomes. This article tracks the effects of the victim/agent binary in dominant responses to sexual violence, before assembling the foundations from which to rethink victimhood and agency away from their binary orthodoxy, drawing centrally on the radical subjectivity of pain.

Nov 9th 2023, 10:49

Research on Social Work Practice, Ahead of Print. Purpose: Poverty continues to be a pervasive social problem within the United States despite a plethora of services and government assistance programs. Currently, universal and guaranteed basic income programs are being actively promoted. Method: This review incorporated universal or guaranteed basic income primary reports open to any country and in English from four academic databases including grey literature between January 1, 2013, and April 8, 2023, using randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental study designs with no specified outcome. Results: Out of an initial 147 articles, four of the primary studies utilized a randomized controlled trial and one used a quasi-experimental design. One study occurred in the United States. Discussion: Despite the increasing implementation of such programs throughout the United States and their associated high cost, evidence is lacking based on their long-term impact and effectiveness. Further study is recommended including stronger evaluations of current and future programs.

Nov 9th 2023, 10:48

Abstract
This study aims to examine emotion recognition and false belief performances of 4–5-year-old (48–71 months) deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) children. The performances have been assessed using the Turkish Version of the Theory of Mind Task Battery for Children. The DHH children have been continuing schooling in inclusive settings with an auditory-oral approach. The emotion recognition performances of hearing children (n = 100) and DHH (n = 100) children have appeared to be similar. The ANOVA analysis has revealed that the groups do not differ concerning false belief performances between the ages of 4 and 5.5. However, from the age of 5.5, hearing children have performed better than DHH children. According to correlation analysis, parental education has been determined as a remarkable factor in DHH children’s false belief development. The findings point to the need for research across a wide range of ages to better understand the developmental course of false belief in DHH children.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/meta-analyses-systematic-reviews/spcare-2023-004430v1/) Dyadic advance care planning: systematic review of patient-caregiver interventions and effects
Nov 9th 2023, 07:17

Familycaregiver’s involvement in advance care planning (ACP) is essential to provide high-quality end-of-life (EOL) care and to ease the surrogate decision-making burden. However, no systematic review has focused on existing ACP interventions involving patients and their families. The aim of this study is to systematically summarise current ACP interventions involving patients and their families.
Five English and two Chinese databases were searched from inception to September 2022. The eligible studies were experimental studies describing original data. The Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools assessed the methodological quality. Narrative synthesis was conducted for data analysis.
In total, twenty-eight articles were included. Fifteen studies were randomised controlled trials, and the rest 13 studies were quasi-experimental studies. The data synthesis identified: (1) Key intervention components: strategies to promote ACP, ACP discussion and follow-up, as well as the role of family caregivers and (2) Effects on intended outcomes: interventions have shown benefit on completion of ACP actions, while inconsistent findings were found on the process outcomes and quality of EOL care. In addition, a logic model for patient–caregiver dyadic ACP was created, and the underlying mechanisms of action included well-preparation, open discussion and adequate support for plan/action.
This review provides comprehensive evidence about patient–caregiver dyadic ACP, a promising intervention to better prepare for EOL communication and decision-making. A logic model has been mapped to give a preliminary indication for future implementation. More empirical studies are needed to improve this model and culturally adapt it in a real-world setting.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2023/journal-article-abstracts/7282527/) Utility of the capabilities, opportunities, motivations model for understanding changes in behavior
Nov 9th 2023, 06:49

Abstract
Background
Wearing face coverings to prevent airborne viral transmission has at times been legally mandated, followed by periods when rules were relaxed. The present study tracks changes in face covering and the impacts on people’s perceptions of their capabilities, opportunities and motivations.
Methods
Three-wave survey. At wave 1 (25 January–6 February 2022), 10 622 UK adults reported: (a) sociodemographic characteristics; (b) face covering in work, public transport and indoor leisure settings and (c) capabilities, opportunities and motivations. Measures were repeated 1–18 March 2022 and 20 May–6 June 2022. Data were analyzed descriptively, within-participants analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and multiple linear regression.
Results
Face covering decreased over time as rules around the wearing of face coverings relaxed. Perceptions of capabilities, opportunities and motivations to wear face coverings were consistently associated with the actual wearing of face coverings, with marked decreases in motivations over time.
Conclusions
Decreases in motivations seem to explain best the reasons for declining levels of face covering. Further work is required to develop interventions to change people’s motivations and promote the wearing of face coverings, should they be required in the future.

Nov 9th 2023, 02:49

Abstract
In a culture overwhelmed by the quest for perfection, thereby committing acts like intellectual dishonesty, erring is left to be a valuable human experience. Recent articles in the Oxford Journal of Public Health explore the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) technology on human relationships in different settings. It is crucial to acknowledge the potential benefits of AI while also being mindful of its possible misuse. As AI technology becomes more integrated into our daily lives, pursuing perfection propels its advancement. However, using AI technology to pursue perfection may adversely affect people’s mental health. In this paper, I argue that pursuing perfection can harm one’s well-being. Instead, it is crucial to acknowledge and embrace one’s mistakes to foster personal growth and development.

Nov 9th 2023, 01:49

Abstract
Background
Informal care can affect the mental health of caregivers. The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated many people into informal care. Little is known about the longitudinal effect of informal care throughout the pandemic. We investigate changes in mental health in relation to changes in informal care between July 2020 and September 2021.
Methods
Using data from Understanding Society, we applied fixed-effects modelling to assess mental health variations associated with changes in caregiving among 13 557 participants (50 430 observations). Hours of weekly care were categorized as 0, 1–19, ≥20. Mental health was measured using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) as a continuous score and a binary indicator. Main analyses were stratified by gender.
Results
Compared to when delivering 0 hours care/week, the GHQ-12 scores of women providing care for 1–19 hours/week were 0.46 points higher (95%CI: −0.11, 1.09), while their mental health scores were 0.99 higher (95%: 0.08, 1.90) when caring for ≥20 hours/week. Changes on the binary GHQ-12 measure were only evident for women when providing ≥20 hours of weekly care. These changes were not substantial among men.
Conclusion
Informal care adversely impacted the mental health of women carers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Support programmes for informal carers should focus on alleviating caregiving loads in women.

Nov 9th 2023, 00:49

Abstract
While probability sampling has been considered the gold standard of survey methods, nonprobability sampling is increasingly popular due to its convenience and low cost. However, nonprobability samples can lead to biased estimates due to the unknown nature of the underlying selection mechanism. In this article, we propose parametric and semiparametric approaches to integrate probability and nonprobability samples using common ancillary variables observed in both samples. In the parametric approach, the joint distribution of ancillary variables is assumed to follow the latent Gaussian copula model, which is flexible to accommodate both categorical and continuous variables. In contrast, the semiparametric approach requires no assumptions about the distribution of ancillary variables. In addition, logistic regression is used to model the mechanism by which population units enter the nonprobability sample. The unknown parameters in the copula model are estimated through the pseudo maximum likelihood approach. The logistic regression model is estimated by maximizing the sample likelihood constructed from the nonprobability sample. The proposed method is evaluated in the context of estimating the population mean. Our simulation results show that the proposed method is able to correct the selection bias in the nonprobability sample by consistently estimating the underlying inclusion mechanism. By incorporating additional information in the nonprobability sample, the combined method can estimate the population mean more efficiently than using the probability sample alone. A real-data application is provided to illustrate the practical use of the proposed method.
