Item Cambios dialectales e idiosincrasias en la enseñanza del segundo idioma a estudiantes minoritarios a través de la poesía Afrocubana(2013-01-09) Fleming, Alicia Ann-Marie; Tezanos-Pinto, Rosa; Torijano, J. Agustín, 1963-; Ardemagni, Enrica J.Cotidianamente los profesores se hacen esta pregunta: ¿cómo pueden relacionarse mis estudiantes con la lección? Saben que si los estudiantes pudieran acoplarse con el contenido de la lección, entenderían y aprenderían con gran eficacia. En la mayoría de los distritos escolares urbanos de Indianapolis, Estados Unidos hay muchos estudiantes afroamericanos que están en clases de lengua extranjera que piensan que no existen atributos de conexión --como tradiciones y costumbres-- que tienen aspectos en común con sus propias culturas. Por otro lado, hay estudiantes afrolatinos que son nativos de esas lenguas pero a quienes no se les expone a elementos que pertenecen a su cultura o herencia. Esta investigación se enfocará en cómo los profesores pueden utilizar la poesía para enseñar una lengua extranjera; específicamente, cómo se puede utilizar la poesía afrocubana para vincular la lección a los estudiantes minoritarios y su cultura.Item Dissecting Suicidality Using a Combined Genomic and Clinical Approach(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-01) Niculescu, Alexander B; Le-Niculescu, Helen; Psychiatry, School of MedicineItem The effect of adverse housing and neighborhood conditions on the development of diabetes mellitus among middle-aged African Americans(Oxford University Press, 2007-08-15) Schootman, Mario; Andresen, Elena M.; Wolinsky, Fredric D.; Malmstrom, Theodore K.; Miller, J. Philip; Yan, Yan; Miller, Douglas K.; Department of Medicine, IU School of MedicineThe authors examined the associations of observed neighborhood (block face) and housing conditions with the incidence of diabetes by using data from 644 subjects in the African-American Health Study (St. Louis area, Missouri). They also investigated five mediating pathways (health behavior, psychosocial, health status, access to medical care, and sociodemographic characteristics) if significant associations were identified. The external appearance of the block the subjects lived on and housing conditions were rated as excellent, good, fair, or poor. Subjects reported about neighborhood desirability. Self-reported diabetes was obtained at baseline and 3 years later. Of 644 subjects without self-reported diabetes, 10.3% reported having diabetes at the 3-year follow-up. Every housing condition rated as fair-poor was associated with an increased risk of diabetes, with odds ratios ranging from 2.53 (95% confidence interval: 1.47, 4.34 for physical condition inside the building) to 1.78 (95% confidence interval: 1.03, 3.07 for cleanliness inside the building) in unadjusted analyses. No association was found between any of the block face conditions or perceived neighborhood conditions and incident diabetes. The odds ratios for the five housing conditions were unaffected when adjusted for the mediating pathways. Poor housing conditions appear to be an independent contributor to the risk of incident diabetes in urban, middle-aged African Americans.Item Epilepsy-related stigma and attitudes: Systematic review of screening instruments and interventions - Report by the International League Against Epilepsy Task Force on Stigma in Epilepsy(Wiley, 2022) Austin, Joan K.; Birbeck, Gretchen; Parko, Karen; Kwon, Churl-Su; Fernandes, Paula T.; Braga, Patricia; Fiest, Kirsten M.; Ali, Amza; Cross, J. Helen; de Boer, Hanneke; Dua, Tarun; Haut, Sheryl R.; Jacoby, Ann; Lorenzetti, Diane L.; Mifsud, Janet; Moshé, Solomon L.; Tripathi, Manjari; Wiebe, Samuel; Jette, Nathalie; School of NursingObjective: This is a systematic review aimed at summarizing the evidence related to instruments that have been developed to measure stigma or attitudes toward epilepsy and on stigma-reducing interventions. Methods: This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards. A broad literature search (1985-2019) was performed in 13 databases. Articles were included if they described the development and testing of psychometric properties of an epilepsy-related stigma or attitude scale or stigma-reducing interventions. Two reviewers independently screened abstracts, reviewed full-text articles, and extracted data. Basic descriptive statistics are reported. Results: We identified 4234 abstracts, of which 893 were reviewed as full-text articles. Of these, 38 met inclusion criteria for an instrument development study and 30 as a stigma-reduction intervention study. Most instruments were initially developed using well-established methods and were tested in relatively large samples. Most intervention studies involved educational programs for adults with pre- and post-evaluations of attitudes toward people with epilepsy. Intervention studies often failed to use standardized instruments to quantify stigmatizing attitudes, were generally underpowered, and often found no evidence of benefit or the benefit was not sustained. Six intervention studies with stigma as the primary outcome had fewer design flaws and showed benefit. Very few or no instruments were validated for regional languages or culture, and there were very few interventions tested in some regions. Significance: Investigators in regions without instruments should consider translating and further developing existing instruments rather than initiating the development of new instruments. Very few stigma-reduction intervention studies for epilepsy have been conducted, study methodology in general was poor, and standardized instruments were rarely used to measure outcomes. To accelerate the development of effective epilepsy stigma-reduction interventions, a paradigm shift from disease-specific, siloed trials to collaborative, cross-disciplinary platforms based upon unified theories of stigma transcending individual conditions will be needed.Item Identifying Gaps in Global Health Dermatology: A Survey of GLODERM Members(Oxford University Press, 2021) McMahon, Devon E.; Oyesiku, Linda; Amerson, Erin; Beltraminelli, Helmut; Chang, Aileen Y.; Forrestel, Amy; Hay, Roderick; Knapp, Alexia; Kovarik, Carrie; Maurer, Toby; Norton, Scott A.; Rehmus, Wingfield; Van Hees, Colette; Wanat, Karolyn A.; Williams, Victoria L.; Fuller, L.
