Keynote Session I: Lost in Translations?
In rural history, as in many other sciences, English becomes more and more the dominant language. The European Rural History Organisation (EURHO), for example, declares in its constitution unreservedly: "The working language of the Organization and of its website and other publications shall be English". No doubt, the process towards English as the lingua franca facilitates the communication and comprehension among rural historians from a variety of territorial backgrounds and linguistic and cultural orientations. It helps to overcome national science cultures and linguistic barriers which have in the past restrained, if not altogether prevented, the exchange of ideas and debates.
This process of standardisation, however, also creates new problems. It weakens the perception of linguistic differences and meanings – aspects of particular relevance to cultural historians. On a more general level, the application of English as the sole language creates the danger that a discursive variety (today a hallmark of the cultural and social sciences) is diminishing if not disappearing altogether. In other words: A homogenisation of the scientific discourses which have been created within the discipline of rural history in the last two decades could, therefore, destroy the potential of the new rural history once again.

Boston Mayflower Replica Unveiled to Commemorate 400th Year Anniversary
by Beacon Hill Times Staff • April 27, 2019 • 0 Comments
By Marianne Salza
On Sept. 6, 1620, religious separatists departed from England in search of spiritual freedom. Exactly 102 passengers and 30 crew members embarked on a 66-day journey to the New World aboard the Mayflower. The Pilgrims' arrival in Plymouth has become a symbol of democracy in America's history.
In commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower's landing, American Ancestors and New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) revealed a grand replica of the Mayflower to honor the Pilgrim's courage, and an artistic installation in recognition of the Wampanoag people, the Native Americans who greeted the settlers. The April 17 ceremony at the NEHGS headquarters in Boston's Back Bay is the first of a series of events in the United States that celebrates the founding of Plymouth Colony.
"After an arduous two-month-long journey and a cataclysmic first winter, they fulfilled their pilgrimage that forever changed the history of the world," declared D. Brenton Simons, president and CEO of American Ancestors and NEHGS. "They formed the Mayflower Compact, a document inspirational to our democracy."
The 10-foot-long model of the square-rigged 17th Century vessel was christened the "Boston Mayflower" by a Mayflower descendent, Nancy Maulsby, chair of the Board of Trustees for American Ancestors and NEHGS. The Boston Mayflower – which is now anchored in the non-profit organization's front courtyard on Newbury Street – was constructed of eastern white pine by marine artist Terry Geaghan, owner of the Shipmasters' Gallery in Bath and Woolwich, Maine.
Adjacent to the Boston Mayflower sits a tribute to the Wampanoag culture created by tribal member Steven Peters, creative director of SmokeSygnals, a Native American-owned marketing and communications consultancy located in Mashpee. The exhibit represents a young Patuxet mother and her infant and depicts the Wampanoag tradition of sharing family narratives through the weaving of beaded wampum belts, which were left unfinished for the continuation of future generations' stories.
The overall celebration is part of a four-nation commemoration hosted by the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the Wampanoag people.
"On behalf of Her Majesty, the Queen, I am proud to be part of this celebration," expressed Harriet Cross, Her Majesty's Consul General to New England. "One of the things I love about New England is your ability to cherish history and the land."
A new exhibition, "Origins and Legacy of the Mayflower," was opened in the first-floor gallery of American Ancestors and explores the Mayflower's migration and the Wampanoag culture. Visitors can tie nautical knots like the Mayflower crew, learn about wampum belts, and create a family tree.
"This is our first public event of our 175th year and I am especially pleased this occasion helps to fulfill our mission of educating people everywhere about this 400th anniversary milestone," expressed Simons, who hopes that this exhibition will better acquaint Bostonians and visitors with tribal history and Pilgrim heritage.
More than 30 million individuals around the world are believed to be descendants of the 26 Pilgrim families who were aboard the Mayflower. American Ancestors and NEHGS is offering their expertise in researching and documenting that lineage.
Founded in 1845, American Ancestors by New England Historic Genealogical Society is America's oldest genealogical organization and has the largest collection of original historical materials and resources in the country. With more than 28 million items and more than seven centuries worth of documents, NEHGS is dedicated to the study of family history. Researchers are specialized in early American, Irish, English, Scottish, Italian, Atlantic and French Canadian, African American, Native American, Chinese, and Jewish genealogy.
"Origins and Legacy of the Mayflower" exhibit, the "Boston Mayflower," and the Wampanoag art installation will be on display through December 2020 at New England Historic Genealogical Society's American Ancestors headquarters at 99-101 Newbury St., Tuesdays, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.; Wednesdays, 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; and Thursdays-Saturdays, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

La musique pop (ou simplement la pop) est un genre musical apparu dans les années 1960 au Royaume-Uni et aux États-Unis. Les chansons pop parlent en général de l'amour ou des relations amoureuses. Ce genre se concentre souvent sur une idée d'accessibilité, en mettant l'accent sur des mélodies accrocheuses, entraînantes, et en prenant souvent la forme de morceaux courts avec des rythmes associés à la danse. La musique pop fut beaucoup influencée par les technologies, comme l'enregistrement à pistes multiples (vers la fin des années 1960), et le synthétiseur (durant les années 1970 et 1980).

L'expansion de la musique pop a été interprétée de diverses manières, notamment comme un processus d'américanisation et d'impérialisme culturel américain ou, plus globalement, de mondialisation. Par ailleurs, de nombreux débats chez les théoriciens de la pop posent la question du statut de cette musique : art majeur ou simple objet de consommation ? La musique pop saura pourtant au fil des décennies profondément se diversifier et évoluer, autant dans des scènes grand public qu'indépendantes ou artistiques.

Origines

Le terme « chanson pop » ( en anglais) est apparu pour la première fois en Angleterre en 1926 pour indiquer qu'une pièce de musique avait un certain aspect attirant. Le terme « musique pop » («  ») est développé en Angleterre vers 1955 pour décrire le rock 'n' roll et les nouveaux styles musicaux des jeunes qui ont été influencés par celui-ci.

Par la suite, le terme « pop » (parfois « pop rock ») désigne un sous-genre apparu dans les années 1950-1960. Le rock 'n' roll évolue alors pour se subdiviser en deux branches principales, le rock plus fidèle aux racines blues dont il est issu et la pop qui met plus l'accent sur les mélodies et les harmonies vocales. On peut de ce point de vue considérer que la pop connaît sa maturité avec l'avènement des Beatles. Les représentants les plus emblématiques de la branche rhythm and blues étaient les Rolling Stones (qui sur le tard reprirent cependant l'étiquette rock 'n roll).

La pop, expression issue de l'anglais «  » (« musique populaire »), s'est donc petit à petit distinguée comme un sous-genre du rock, dans les années 1960. Si on considère que les Beatles ont créé ou au moins amené la musique pop, alors il s'agit d'une transformation adoucie et plus pétillante du rock 'n' roll. Le premier album sera Rubber Soul, toutefois précédé de quelques chansons de l'album Help!, où figure notamment Yesterday.

En France, Serge Gainsbourg était considéré à ses débuts comme un chanteur de variétés et non de musique pop à l'époque de La Javanaise ou du Poinçonneur des Lilas. Ses chansons commencèrent à être cataloguées dans la pop à partir de créations comme Qui est « in » qui est « out » en 1966, année qui voit émerger les artistes de la pop française des années 1960.

Après 1967, le terme « musique pop » est de plus en plus utilisé pour désigner un rock « soft », par opposition au rock traditionnellement plus énergique. La musique rock était perçue comme plus grave et avec des buts plus élevés, alors que la musique pop était perçue comme plus éphémère, axée sur les sentiments et plus accessible. Selon le sociologue de musique anglaise, Simon Frith, la musique pop est souvent produite à des fins commerciales, non à des fins artistiques ; elle est aussi créée pour être accessible à tout le monde. La musique pop est créée par les grandes compagnies, par les musiciens eux-mêmes. Ce point de vue est néanmoins discutable en regard des innombrables groupes pop qui n'ont jamais percé, et des nombreux autres, signés sur de petits labels indépendants (Mojave 3, Big Star, Yo La Tengo) restés confidentiels, loin des « majors » (grandes maisons de disques) et des artistes formatés et dynamisés par des campagnes commerciales. Ainsi, le terme « musique pop » en français, ne correspond pas à l'anglais « pop music », ce dernier recouvrant tout ce qui est commercial et populaire.

Les interprètes pop les plus connus sont Michael Jackson appelé  par les anglophones ou encore Madonna, appelée  et Britney Spears surnommée . Pourtant, leur style musical est très différent de la musique pop des Beatles, The Beach Boys, Blur, Elton John, Oasis, Love, Coldplay, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Breeders ou Arctic Monkeys. Ces derniers rejoignent le genre pop rock, une version plus douce et mélancolique du rock.

La musique pop s'inclut dans un mouvement de masse, dans lequel, et dès les années 1950, les industriels prennent en compte le pouvoir d'achat des adolescents, en leur fournissant, dans l'acception mercantile du concept d'identité, clubs où danser, tee-shirts et blousons de cuir pour se vêtir, motos pour se déplacer, plus tard tableaux à accrocher au mur ou sculptures à contempler, films à visionner, et musique pour se retrouver. À l'origine (i.e. dans les années 1950), la pop désigne en Amérique l'ensemble des musiques populaires (l'étiquette est alors en France de musique dite « de variété »). Mais la particularité essentielle de ce style musical reste en fait l'absorption de tous les autres genres : la pop music se nourrit de diverses racines, telles le rhythm and blues, le jazz, le folk, le blues, la soul, le funk, la musique légère (comme l'opérette, ou le vaudeville), la musique ancienne et classique, la techno, ou les musiques extra européennes (et en particulier la musique latine).

La pop a également intégré une instrumentation extraordinairement variée : à partir de la configuration basique du rock 'n' roll (guitare, contrebasse ou basse, batterie, voire, piano et saxophone), elle y adjoint en premier lieu à peu près tous les pupitres de l'orchestre symphonique (vents, cuivres, percussions et cordes). Puis, après avoir enrichi les sonorités de la guitare de diverses pédales d'effet (sustain, wah wah…), et les progrès technologiques aidant, elle se pare de claviers aux sonorités très diverses (mellotron, synthétiseur, piano électrique, vocoder, sequencer, etc.). Enfin, la pop, à l'instar de la musique contemporaine, a approché les studios d'enregistrement comme des instruments de musique supplémentaires à part entière, agrémentant sa palette sonore par l'usage de filtres, effets de distorsion ou de saturation, écho, réverbération, etc.

La musique pop a par la suite apporté une rythmique dansante et légère qui se base beaucoup sur les instruments électroniques (les synthétiseurs et autres boites à rythmes) et numériques (des  Roland) et les effets électroniques surtout marqués à partir de la fin des années 1970 et au début dans les années 1980 avec l'influence anglo-américaine de groupes et artistes issus du courant new wave.

Mais l'originalité majeure de la pop est d'être la première expression musicale définie en amont par un média : la nature de la pop est en effet d'être accessible au public le plus large possible, donc diffusée en radio, ce qui affecte à ses débuts son tempo (souvent proche du battement du cœur humain), sa durée (en moyenne trois minutes, avec quelques notables exceptions, tel le Hey Jude des Beatles, de plus de sept minutes), son débit et sa richesse harmonique (lent, et réduite), sa texture (soyeuse et policée), l'immédiateté de ses refrains (une chanson pop est généralement construite sur le principe couplet-refrain-couplet-refrain-montée à la tierce (modulation médiantique)-refrain ad lib), et le caractère apparemment inoffensif de ses textes.

Au milieu des années 1990, les groupes anglais Oasis, Pulp et Blur ont réussi à ré-insérer la guitare électrique dans la musique pop mainstream, formant le style britpop. À la même période, une nouvelle tendance se développe dans le milieu de la pop : les boys bands. Véritable phénomène de mode, ses représentants les plus célèbres sont Take That au Royaume-Uni et les Backstreet Boys aux États-Unis. Leur succès colossal permet à des groupes féminins d'émerger comme les Spice Girls et All Saints. Un des forts courants pop des années 1990 a été les chanteuses « à voix ». Des artistes comme Céline Dion, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton sont aux sommets des palmarès et vendent des dizaines de millions d'albums. Ensuite, quelques-unes d'entre elles ont allié la pop plus dance à leur voix. Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys et Leona Lewis sont maintenant les représentantes de cette musique pop.

À l'aube du , ces groupes, chanteurs et chanteuses à voix sont peu à peu supplantés par des artistes solo comme Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Britney Spears, puis dans les années 2010, Bruno Mars, Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Shakira, Taylor Swift, Kesha, Adele, P!nk, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, Lorde, Charli XCX, Ava Max, Bebe Rexha.

As the ancient writers tell it, Artemis had sent a boar 'of surpassing size and ferocity' to ravage the kingdom of Kalydon. Called together by Meleager, sixty heroes and one heroine – Atalanta – gathered to track the boar to its lair and kill it. Three and half millennia later, the hunt for the boar of Kalydon will be re-enacted.
In the chaotic last months of the Second World War, a Nazi officer is the quarry and the hunters are Greek partisans. Their witness is a young Romanian Jew, fleeing for his life across Europe. Sol Memel has lost his family and abandoned his lover, Ruth. Finding refuge in the mountains of Greece, his role in the Nazi officer's killing inspires him to rewrite the ancient myth as a poem. Die Keilerjagd and its author will be acclaimed throughout post-war Europe.
But Sol's account of the hunt conceals a secret. When Ruth reappears twenty years later to make a film of the poem, Sol finds himself cast as the quarry. Under the camera's lens, the ghosts of his wartime past are exposed. Behind them stand the ghosts of ancient Greece, the long-dead heroes who know the truth of the hunt for the boar of Kalydon.
"In the Shape of a Boar" tracks a hidden story from pre-Homeric Greece to the darkest events of the twentieth century.
"In the Shape of a Boar" was my third novel. I wanted to ask questions I'd avoided in my previous work. How do we know the facts that come down to us through history? What happens to the events which go unrecorded or leave no trace? Are there kinds of events more prone to erasure than others? The book takes the form of a circle of commentaries – an event, a myth, an annotation, a poem, a life. Its three sections can be read in any order and the book's narrative is complete when these commentaries are recollected together. The relation between the fictional Sol Memel and the poet Paul Celan adds another dimension, as do the real-life (or false-life) fabrications of Celan's enemies. Beyond these lie the 'disappeared histories' of Celan's parents and many millions of others.
Research notes for relations between the different groups of hunters in "In the Shape of a Boar".
The research for "In the Shape of a Boar" began with a reading of Celan's poetry, in particular with the original poem of the same title, or "In Gestalt eines Ebers", which appeared in Celan's collection "Sprachgitter" (1959). The decision to fashion a book from vanished or erased historical materials ramified into several projects, notably the archaeology of the disappeared world of Celan's and Memel's youth in pre-War Romania, and of a pre-Homeric boar-hunt through the mountains of Aetolia in Northern Greece. The exaggerated annotation of the narrative of the hunt supplies a babble of witnesses and, although the notes refer to published texts (almost all Greek and Roman), they guarantee no verifiable event. Historical accounts are never quite as stable as we might wish. The region of Greece in which the ancient boar-hunt took place was called Agrapha; its 'Unwritten' villages were so poor they were not worth recording for tax purposes. Coincidentally, amongst the authorities cited is Phylarchus of Naucratis who wrote a book called "Agrapha" which means "The Unwritten Stories" (in whose pages presumably were recorded those myths and legends which had not been recorded anywhere else). The text has not survived.
Manuscript page from "In the Shape of a Boar"
Writing "In the Shape of a Boar" posed a number of technical challenges, some of which I documented in an account of its composition written in diary-form for the anthology "Art, not chance." The MS was reworked several times in order to bring its different parts into harmony with each other. The page opposite is the fifth draft of the first page of the "Paris" section. The novel makes more demands on its readers than any of my other books.

Be Sweet to Your Heart With Chocolate?
By Beth Sumrell Ehrensberger, R.D.
For me, there's no better treat than a piece of good-quality, rich chocolate to savor. And my indulgence of choice just got a little sweeter. A new and emerging research study recently published in the European Heart Journal followed nearly 20,000 people between the ages of 35 and 65 and found that participants who ate an average of 7.5 grams of chocolate a day had a lower risk of heart attack and stroke than those participants who ate an average of 1.7 grams per day (a difference of approximately one small square from a standard 100-gram bar). While it's easy to take findings like these straight to, well, heart, it's important to take a step back. While many studies, this one included, give reasons why chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, may provide cardio-protective benefits, you won't be seeing chocolate listed in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans anytime soon—there's just no true scientific consensus among experts, and more studies are required to confirm these early findings. The other reason? Chocolate is still candy and is high in calories! So if you are a chocolate fan, you'll want to be sure to keep servings under control and to steer clear of other high-calorie snacks to help keep your body weight stable.
So here's my take: When I do enjoy chocolate on occasion, I relish it for the taste and don't worry much about the possible health benefits. I depend on a wide variety of healthy foods (lots of fruits and veggies, whole grains, lean protein) to do the "work" of feeding my body to keep me healthy. Chocolate, on the other hand, that's just for pleasure. And that's good enough for me.

WIL's members are active in many dialogues and events across the country to increase pressure on corporate Canada to drive change.
Despite overwhelming evidence of the strong business case for diversity in leadership, along with the good intentions of business leaders and government, we have made little progress. In corporate Canada today, we remain frustratingly far from reaching gender parity. In fact, at our current pace, we remain some 200 years from achieving parity. Women remain underrepresented throughout our industry's talent pipeline, and their presence dwindles as they rise through the ranks, and although we continue to make small improvements with each year, the progress is too slow. In 2017, women filled only 26% of vacant board positions, meaning 74% of vacant board positions were still filled by men.
The risks of this reality are simply too great to be accepted. It is time for a concerted approach that will leave gender parity as a legacy to the next generation.

Favourable short-term course and outcome of pediatric anxiety spectrum disorders: a prospective study from India
Preeti Kandasamy1,
Satish C. Girimaji2,
Shekhar P. Seshadri2,
Shoba Srinath2 &
John Vijay Sagar Kommu2
Although anxiety disorders are the most prevalent psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents, there is a paucity of research on the course and outcome of anxiety spectrum disorders in low and middle-income countries.
60 children and adolescents aged 6–16 years with anxiety spectrum disorders attending the child and adolescent psychiatry department in a tertiary care center from India were included after taking written informed consent and assent in this prospective study conducted between April 2012 to May 2014. Assessments were done at baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks using pediatric anxiety rating scale, clinical global impression-severity, clinical global assessment scale and pediatric quality of life scale; MINI-KID (version 6.0) was used to examine remission status.
Mean age of children was 12.68 years and mean duration of illness was 34.52 months. Follow-up rate at 24 weeks was 80% with a remission rate of 64.6%. Socio-demographic factors did not affect the baseline severity or course and outcome measures. Children with greater baseline severity and social phobia had a less favorable outcome at 24 weeks. Improvements made in the initial 12 weeks were maintained at 24 weeks follow up. These findings are in line with earlier studies from high-income countries.
Small sample size, attrition, rater bias.
The study has shown a favorable outcome in children and adolescents with anxiety spectrum disorders receiving treatment-as-usual in a tertiary care setting. Adolescents who present with greater severity, comorbid with other anxiety disorders and depression at baseline require intensive intervention, and long-term follow up. There is a need for interventional research with specific focus on universal preventive programs for anxiety spectrum disorders that are feasible for delivery in low and middle-income countries.
Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents and are considered the gateway disorders for many of the adult psychiatric disorders [1]. Anxiety disorders in adolescence predict later risks of anxiety disorder, depression, substance dependence and academic failure [2].
Epidemiological studies across the world have reported the prevalence of anxiety disorder ranging from 2 to 24% with the median prevalence rate of 8% [3,4,5]. Epidemiological studies from India report a prevalence ranging from 4 to 14.4% [6, 7].
The child/adolescent anxiety multimodal study (CAMS) found that response to acute-phase treatment predicted response at 6-month follow-up [8]. Children with social phobia, greater severity and comorbid depression had less favorable outcome [9,10,11]. Prospective studies from high-income countries report remission rate ranging from 46 to 85% [1, 12].
Studies on the course and outcome of childhood anxiety disorders are scarce in low and middle-income countries. The current study was therefore planned with the aims and objectives to prospectively study the course of anxiety spectrum disorders over 24 weeks and examine factors that modify the short-term outcome among clinic-referred children and adolescents with anxiety spectrum disorders undergoing 'treatment as usual' at a tertiary care center in south India.
The study was conducted in the department of child and adolescent psychiatry at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, which is a tertiary care center and an Institute of National importance in India offering clinical services and academic training in child and adolescent psychiatry. It has exclusive outpatient and inpatient services for children and adolescents. A multi-disciplinary team of a child psychiatrist, a clinical psychologist, and a psychiatric social worker plan and deliver evidence-based interventions. This study was conducted as part of a post-graduate dissertation and was approved by the institutional ethics committee.
Children and adolescents presenting with any subtype of anxiety disorder as per ICD 10 DCR—separation anxiety disorder of childhood (F93.0), phobic anxiety disorder of childhood (F93.1), social anxiety disorder of childhood (F93.2), generalized anxiety disorder of childhood (F93.80), social phobia (F40.1), specific phobia (F40.2), panic disorder (F41.0) were included, as were children with obsessive–compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder [13].
The study design was prospective; assessments were done at baseline and re-evaluations at 12 and 24 weeks. The study sample consisted of 60 subjects presenting to the department of child and adolescent psychiatry. Consecutive subjects fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria both in the inpatient and outpatient setting who consented to participate in the study during the period April 2012 to Dec 2013 were included. Subjects were included after obtaining written informed consent from parent or guardian and assent from the child.
Children and adolescents aged 6–16 years.
Diagnosis of any subtype of anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and/or obsessive–compulsive disorder as per the ICD 10 Classification of Mental and Behavioral Disorders-Diagnostic Criteria for Research.
Presence of any developmental disorder as per ICD 10 DCR.
Presence of psychotic symptoms.
Children and adolescents presenting with anxiety symptoms to the child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient department were initially screened using the Screen for anxiety and related emotional disorders (SCARED) [14] followed by a detailed assessment to establish the diagnosis of anxiety disorders based on ICD 10 DCR.
There were 98 children screened during the study period and 78 fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sixty-four parents and children gave informed consent and assent and completed the baseline assessment. Four families dropped out after the baseline assessment. Sixty children finally entered the follow-up study.
The baseline assessment included a structured interview schedule using Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for children and adolescents English version, 6.0 [15] and a semi-structured proforma to collect socio-demographic variables, temperament, family history, past history and treatment history. Life event scale for Indian children [16] and parent interview schedule [17] were employed to assess psychosocial adversities. Pediatric anxiety rating scale (PARS) [18] and clinical global impression [19] for severity of anxiety (CGI S); clinical global assessment scale for global functioning [20] and the pediatric quality of life scale [21] were administered at baseline and during the follow-up assessment.
The first author (PK) had prepared a workbook for cognitive behavioral interventions to standardize the interventions received by the study participants, and this was validated independently by the co-authors. The workbook included labeling anxiety, rating severity on a visual analog scale, mind–body relationship, recognizing early signs of physiological arousal, relaxation strategies, thought diary, eliciting and challenging automatic negative thought, problem-solving skills and teaching a friend overcome anxiety. The components were delivered over 8 weeks tailor made as per developmental needs of the individual child with parents serving as co-therapist.
Descriptive statistics, repeated measures analysis of variance, one-way analysis of variance, independent samples–t test, Pearson's correlation and Chi square test were employed for analysis.
The mean score on the scale SCARED child version for the 60 children who entered the study was 33.82 (SD = 12.53), and the mean score on the SCARED parent version was 28.74 (SD = 12.93), which was above the cut-off score of 25. There was a significant correlation between child and parent scores on SCARED (p < 0.01). The mean score on SCARED for the 18 children and adolescents who met inclusion criteria but refused to participate was 32.94 (SD = 10.05) and was comparable with those who participated in the study.
Baseline characteristics
The mean age of children and adolescents in this study was 12.68 years, which was higher than the mean age of 10.7 years in the CAMS study [8]. 45% (N = 27) were female children. About 2/3 of the sample were self-referred, and 3/4 of the children were treatment-naive; the findings can therefore be generalized to a primary care setting. The mean age at onset was 9.71 years (SD = 2.24) years, and the mean duration of untreated illness was 34.52 months (SD = 3.06); lack of awareness and help-seeking attitude for internalizing disorders could explain this.
Children who were older at intake had higher severity of illness on CGI S as well as poor functioning (p < 0.05). Other socio-demographic factors, such as gender, family history or temperamental factors did not significantly affect baseline severity.
On the life event scale for Indian children, school-related stressors were elicited in 83.3% (N = 50) of children followed by interpersonal difficulties (N = 41). Though there was no gender difference in the number of life events, the stressfulness score was high for female children (p < 0.05). In nearly one-third of the sample (N = 19) school refusal was noted, 13 of these children were not schooling at the time of consultation reflecting significant impairment in academic functioning. On parent interview schedule abnormal quality of upbringing such as overindulgence, overprotection and the inappropriate parental pressure was elicited in 70% (N = 42) of the sample followed by chronic interpersonal stress related to school (N = 36). Children with more number of life events and psychosocial adversities had significantly high baseline severity on PARS and CGI S (p < 0.001).
Social phobia was the most common subtype of anxiety spectrum disorders at baseline (Table 1). Eighty percent (N = 48) of children with an anxiety disorder had a comorbid disorder. About 56.7% (N = 34) children had 2 or more anxiety disorders at baseline (Fig. 2). Comorbid depressive disorder was diagnosed in 28.3% (N = 17) of children. Presence of comorbid anxiety disorder (p < 0.05) or depressive disorder significantly increased the baseline severity (Table 2); 28.3% (N = 17) had current/lifetime occurrence of suicidality on MINI-KID.
Table 1 Frequency of subtypes of anxiety disorder as per ICD 10 DCR (including comorbid anxiety disorders)
Table 2 Baseline severity and comorbid depressive disorder
Comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was found in 16.7% (N = 10), oppositional defiant disorder in 13.3% (N = 8) and specific developmental disorder of scholastic skills in 23.3% (N = 14). Two children had stuttering, and 4 had other medical disorders. Age and gender did not significantly affect patterns of comorbidity.
Course and outcome
Figures 1 and 2 shows the symptom severity and the number of anxiety disorder at baseline and during follow up. The mean severity scores dropped below 13 on PARS and were no more in the clinically significant range by 12 weeks [8]. There was a significant improvement in symptom severity, clinical global assessment of functioning and quality of life on repeated measures analysis of variance and a significant difference between scores was found at all three assessment points (p < 0.001).
Course of anxiety disorder
Number of children with 2 or more anxiety disorders at baseline and at follow up
Figure 3 depicts the correlation between interventions and severity scores on pediatric anxiety scale. The modality of treatment did not affect course over 24 weeks. Baseline severity on CGI S, PARS and severity of impairment on CGAS (p < 0.001) predicted the use of pharmacological intervention.
Intervention and course. *other non-pharmacological interventions
Table 3 summarises the interventions provided to children. Among children receiving pharmacological interventions majority of them received fluoxetine; 20 children received dosage in the range 10–20 mg and those with OCD (N = 15) received higher doses of fluoxetine.
Table 3 Type of interventions provided
Among those who completed 24 weeks follow-up, remission on MINI-KID was 64.6% and on CGI-S was 58.3%. With the assumption that all the drop-outs could have been non-responders the remission rates still range from 46.7 to 51.7% at the 24 weeks follow up.
Two children received an additional diagnosis of MDD during the 12th-week assessment, one developed dissociative disorder and another child had a hypomanic switch on SSRI. There was no attempt of self-harm or non-suicidal self-injury in the study participants during follow up.
Baseline severity and comorbidity were the only predictors of remission status at 24 weeks (Table 4). Among the subtype, social anxiety had lesser remission rates as compared to other subtypes (Table 5) and is as reported in earlier studies [11]. However, few children (N = 5) with social anxiety moved from generalized to non-generalized subtype on MINI-KID by 24 weeks reflecting a fall both in severity as well as the number of feared social situations. The workbook employed in this study used generic components; targeted interventions for social anxiety and long-term follow-up may be indicated for children with social anxiety.
Table 4 Predictors of remission
Table 5 Remission status at 24 weeks
Fifty children and adolescents (83.3%) were available for the follow-up assessment at 12 weeks, and 48 (80%) were available for the follow-up assessment at 24 weeks. Out of those available for follow-up, 68.3% (N = 41) and 48.3% (N = 29) reported in-person at the end of 12 and 24 weeks respectively. Others were interviewed over phone; children who dropped out had a lower baseline severity on PARS compared to those who completed the 24-week follow-up (p < 0.05).
Although the 24 weeks follow-up rates are comparable to the CAMS study with 78.2% follow-up rates [8], the in-person follow-up rates were less in this study. Baseline severity was the only factor, which determined the follow-up rates (p < 0.05). Age (p = 0.694), gender (p = 0.097), modality of treatment (p = 0.941) or distance from treatment centre (p = 0.273) did not significantly affect follow-up rates.
Outcome studies in adolescent substance abuse have reported that a significant number of non-contacted subjects may overestimate the outcome results [22]. In this study, however, the outcome estimates could have been underestimated as children who dropped out had a mean baseline severity significantly less than those children who remitted by 24 weeks (p < 0.05).
The current study is a prospective clinic-based naturalistic follow-up study of 60 children and adolescents over 24 weeks at a tertiary care center in south India. To our knowledge, this is the first study examining the course and outcome of pediatric anxiety spectrum disorders from India. It was a single-site study with minimal exclusionary criteria. Comorbid depression or past treatment was not considered as an exclusion criterion as in other interventional studies. Multiple courses and outcome measures were used to get a comprehensive picture of symptom severity, diagnostic status, functional improvement and quality of life.
A generally favorable outcome with a sharp fall in severity score in the initial weeks following treatment was observed in the current study. Socio-demographic factors did not affect the baseline severity or course and outcome measures. Improvements made in the initial 12 weeks were maintained at 24 weeks follow up. These findings are in line with earlier studies from high-income countries [8, 11].
Socio-cultural factors could have influenced the mean duration of illness apart from differences seen in help-seeking. Children with anxiety disorders often present to primary care setting for somatic complaints. Improving awareness and sensitization regarding the need for routine screening for anxiety disorders will enable early recognition [23]. Comorbid depression and high rates of suicidality, emphasizes the need for routine evaluation of comorbidity and suicidality in children presenting with anxiety disorder [24]. However, these factors may not have affected course and outcome in view of similarity with studies done elsewhere.
Also, CBT, though developed in HIC, seems to have been well received by the children and families. Adapting interventions developed from high-income countries incorporating components relevant to the socio-cultural needs of the children in low resource setting will address the current lack of structured interventions for internalizing disorders. Drop-outs were high during the early phase; this may have important clinical implication as it demands planning of sessions in a narrow time frame to address relapse prevention effectively. Considering good outcome with treatment as usual simple non-pharmacological intervention if delivered in primary care setting would benefit the children.
Findings from this study might help in developing intervention strategies best suited for low resource settings. In this study, school-related stressors contributed to considerable stress, school refusal and academic impairment and nearly half of the children (N = 29) required liaison with school authorities as part of the intervention. Considering the high prevalence and population statistics of children in low and middle-income countries school-based treatments could address school-related stress while overcoming barriers in help-seeking [25]. Universal prevention through school-based prevention program [26] could serve as a cost-effective alternative to cater to the needs of considerable number of children in resource-limited settings. While high-income countries recognize the need for such programs, it still lacks in low and middle-income countries.
The rater was not blind to the diagnosis, baseline severity or the modality of treatment and this could have contributed to bias. The sample size was rather small, included a wide age span (6–16 years) and the findings may not be reliable for specific anxiety disorders. Attrition for in-person follow-up was high, though this was offset by the availability of a sizeable proportion for telephonic interviewing. The sample was heterogeneous as it included children with obsessive–compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, which are no longer considered under anxiety disorders in DSM-5. The study was completed in 2014 and the data is relatively old.
This study has shown a favorable outcome with good response and remission rates in children and adolescents with anxiety spectrum disorders receiving treatment as usual. The mean severity scores of anxiety sharply fell to clinically insignificant levels by 12 weeks. Improvements made in the initial 12 weeks were maintained at 24 weeks follow up. These findings are in line with earlier studies from high-income countries.
Adolescents with greater severity, comorbid anxiety disorder, and depression at baseline may need intensive intervention, and long-term follow up. There is a need for interventional research focusing on non-pharmacological interventions that are feasible for delivery in low resource settings. There is also a need for school-based universal preventive programs considering the high prevalence of anxiety disorders among children.

Our recent Easter Sports Camps were a resounding success with pupils attending from Clifton High School and other primary schools in Bristol.
The boys and girls took part in a variety of sports which included; hockey, football, basketball, netball, parkour, gymnastics, water polo and cricket. The highlight of the week was undoubtedly the 'Diamond Day' which included a day of girls' football and boys' cricket. The boys and girls enjoyed learning new skills and then putting those skills into practice in the afternoon tournament. A team tea was then provided for all of the boys and girls and medals were presented to everybody that took part in the day. Special guests presented the awards, Jack Batten (Bristol City Professional Footballer) and Lucy Bryan (Great Britain Athlete and ex Clifton High pupil) which the pupils thoroughly enjoyed. A special good luck message went to Lucy who is hoping to be selected for the Great Britain Athletics squad this year to compete in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio!

Keeping Emergency Survival Kits at school for students and administrators is an essential part of maintaining a safe school. But don't waste your time and money constantly replacing unreliable store-bought items. Many people don't realize that store-bought items such as canned food and bottled water don't store safely for longer than 6 months; and even less when exposed to extreme temperatures. ER™ Survival Kits are designed by emergency preparedness experts to contain the most critical and reliable survival supplies. Each kit contains a 3 day supply per person of US Coast Guard Approved survival food and water that is guaranteed to last for 5 years even when stored in extreme conditions. The Ultimate Deluxe Safety Backpack ER™ Survival Kit is designed for a classroom or fieldtrip and comes with a 72-hour survival supply of food, water, lights, sanitation, shelter, rescue, radio/communication, and first aid for students and faculty to evacuate or shelter-in-place in the event of a disaster. This deluxe kit also includes a Solar and Hand-Crank Powered NOAA Weather Band/AM/FM Radio, Flashlight, and USB device charger to charge your smart phone and other devices. It never needs batteries! Simply recharge it using the hand-crank or solar panel. Plus, it can charge any iPhone, iPad, Droid, Blackberry, or other device in an emergency so students and faculty can stay in touch with emergency contacts and follow news reports. Contents are neatly packaged in a durable nylon fannypack to carry supplies hands-free to safety by foot.
Following a catastrophic disaster during school hours, students and school administrators may be stranded on campus for days to weeks until roads are cleared for safe driving. If the school building suffers structural damage, students may be forced to shelter outdoors and endure the elements. Electricity may be out for weeks leaving everyone in the dark and causing water treatment plants to stop working. There may also be injuries requiring medical attention when no emergency assistance will be available. Not only do you want to keep your students to be safe, but also it is your responsibility to take measures to protect your students from forseable dangers such as natural disasters. Failure to maintain standards of protection opens administrators up to liability if losses or injuries occur because of their failure to act. School ER™ Survival Kits are designed to contain everything students and administrators need to survive for 3 days when confronted with an emergency disaster situation at school. Being prepared ahead of time is the best insurance plan you can have to protect ourselves, our children, and our coworkers should a disaster strike. Don't delay, prepare today!
A 4-person, 3-day (1-person, 12-day) survival kit packaged in a portable backpack. This comprehensive survival kit is designed to store in a commercial/personal vehicle or school bus. It contains the necessary survival supplies needed during a roadside emergency or evacuation. Ideal for road trips, school fieldtrips or commercial trucking. The kit contains 2400 calorie food bars and water pouches, ponchos and thermal blankets for inclement weather, first aid supplies, a radio/flashlight combo that also charges cell phones, and other crucial items to help you survive any unexpected disaster. The food bars and water are certified by the U.S. Coast Guard to store safely for up to 5-years even when exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations ensuring this kit can store safely in a vehicle.

I already know what you're thinking. Pending suppressor legislation for the liberalization of Suppressor regulation, known as the "Hearing Protection Act" will be great for everyone and it's happening soon. However, it's still just a bill and we don't know when it will pass. While the odds look good, when it does become law, there will be a huge demand for Suppressors. Concurrently, prices will spike, at least temporarily, due to demand. Purchasing the ones you want now not only locks in your price, but also guarantees you'll get them.
Q understands your concerns. Many don't want to spend the $200 stamp tax in the event the HPA passes; so Q is offering $200 off now on each suppressor, and then another $200 rebate when HPA passes in the future. That's a potential saving of $400 per suppressor and the $200 discount is just that, and not a voucher you can use on one of their other products. You can spend it on whatever you want, but I understand Robby suggests making it rain at the gentlemen's club.
Those of you who want to ensure you'll get one of limited pre-order suppressors can download your for here and upload it to liveqordie.com tomorrow at 3:00 PM EST.
Join the event at www.instagram.com/the_official_q. They are always a good time and Kevin usually lets something slip that isn't supposed to be released yet.
During an IG Live broadcast earlier tonite, the Q crew showed off The Fix bolt action rifle and announced that pre-orders go live tonight at Midnight EST.
The pre-order is $2795 and limited to 500 rifles. Both .308 (16″) and 6.5 Creedmoor (22″) will be available. The Bartlein barrels will come with the Cherry Bomb flash hider and The Fix can be pre-ordered with the Trash PANDA silencer with matching serial number. The .308 is clear anodized with Blue accents. The 6.5 will offer a different accent color. I'm rooting for Orange. The clear anodizing is stronger than pigmented and means that parts made from different materials will have slightly different colors.
Rifles include two Magpul PMAGs and pre-orders will come with a Blue Force Gear weapon case in Blue. The shoulder strap is also a sling and there are modular pouches for silencer, magazines and a clear topped pouch for accessories.
Dealers must order at least five rifles to get dealer pricing.
There will be additional barrels in the future. There is a scope mount and short handguard available as well.
This coming Monday, <www.liveqordie.com/b> goes live, along with a catalog.
When Q had their grand opening party early this year, Kevin Brittingham showed me, and several other firearms media, a modular bolt gun which would eventually come to be known as "The Fix". It's seen below, along with the Honey Badger and a Beretta fitted with a Q suppressor.
Here are a few more shots of The Fix.
The adjustable stock folds to the right.
The Fix is M-Lok compatible.
To wrap things up, here's a shot of the integrally suppressed Honey Badger.
Look for full details during SHOT Show on these and other innovations from Q.
Traditionally, Kevin Brittingham has been known for holding some really great SHOT show parties at the Rio's Voodoo Lounge. If you want to know what a Kevin Brittingham SHOT Show party is like, this video from 2010 features MiniKISS. It was a rocking good time.
Now that he has the new company Q, why should things be any different? In fact, I'd bet The Q Ball will be even better.
You need to four important things about this event: Zip line, party, girls, fun! Sounds great, right? Be Military, Government or an Industry customer, and you are the kind of person this party is meant for. However, it's invite only, so the only way to get a pass is through a sponsor, or Q. Unfortunately, there is a limited number of passes as the venue holds only about 500 people. There are still sponsorship packages available and interested parties can reach out to jessica@qllcgroup.com for more info.
If a cool party atmosphere wasn't enough of a reason to go, how about some business? The Q Ball will feature product releases as well as giveaways and an auction to benefit the great work of the Special Operations Care-Fund.
As an aside for those of you who attend all of these parties at SHOT Show, that graphic gives you an idea of what they cost. So think about that next time you're sucking down booze provided by a company that you'll never buy a thing from. Vegas isn't cheap and Q isn't making money here, they're just paying the going rate.
