    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 406 497 UD 031 660 AUTHOR Somach, Susan D., Comp. TITLE Issues of War Trauma and Working with Refugees. A Compilation of Resources. INSTITUTION Center for Applied Linguistics, Washington, DC. Refugee Service Center. PUB DATE 95 NOTE 167p. PUB TYPE Collected Works General (020) Reports Evaluative /Feasibility (142) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC07 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adults; *Child Development; *Children; Childrens Rights; Coping; Delivery Systems; English (Second Language); Foreign Countries; *Immigrants; Posttraumatic Stress Disorder; *Refugees; Second Language Learning; *War; World Problems IDENTIFIERS Cambodia; Holocaust; *Traumas; Yugoslavia ABSTRACT The Center for Applied Linguistics has compiled these resources on the subjects of war trauma and working with refugees to guide refugee service providers and classroom teachers. The materials include background information about trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder and specific information about problems of refugees and victims of war trauma. The selections in the compilation are designated Appendixes. The United Nations, through its High Commissioner for Refugees and its statement on the rights of the child (Appendix A) has recognized the problems children, especially those from Bosnia, face. Two appendixes (B and C) discuss trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder, and refugees. Two selections focus on children and trauma and consider general developmental issues and coping with grief and the aftermath of disaster. "War Trauma and Refugee Children" contains a description of a film about the effects of torture on children, a discussion of traumatic human rights abuse, and a two-part article on the effects of massive trauma on Cambodian children. "Children of Holocaust Survivors" contains two articles on the symptoms and treatment of child survivors of the Holocaust.

  • Constructing Caesar: Julius Caesar’S Caesar and the Creation of the Myth of Caesar in History and Space
    CONSTRUCTING CAESAR: JULIUS CAESAR’S CAESAR AND THE CREATION OF THE MYTH OF CAESAR IN HISTORY AND SPACE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bradley G. Potter, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Erik Gunderson, Adviser Professor Fritz Graf ______________________ Professor Ellen O’Gorman Advisor Department of Greek & Latin ABSTRACT Authors since antiquity have constructed the persona of Caesar to satisfy their views of Julius Caesar and his role in Roman history. I contend that Julius Caesar was the first to construct Caesar, and he did so through his commentaries, written in the third person to distance himself from the protagonist of his work, and through his building projects at Rome. Both the war commentaries and the building projects are performative in that they perform “Caesar,” for example the dramatically staged speeches in Bellum Gallicum 7 or the performance platform in front of the temple of Venus Genetrix in the Forum Iulium. Through the performing of Caesar, the texts construct Caesar. My reading aims to distinguish Julius Caesar as author from Caesar the protagonist and persona the texts work to construct. The narrative of Roman camps under siege in Bellum Gallicum 5 constructs Caesar as savior while pointing to problems of Republican oligarchic government, offering Caesar as the solution. Bellum Civile 1 then presents the savior Caesar to the Roman people as the alternative to the very oligarchy that threatens the libertas of the people.

    TLP:WHITE . JOINT CYBERSECURITY ADVISORY Ransomware Activity Targeting the Healthcare and Public Health Sector AA20-302A October 28, 2020 Updated October 29, 2020 TLP:WHITE CISA | FBI | HHS TLP:WHITE Note: This advisory was updated on October 29, 2020 to include information on Conti, TrickBot, and BazarLoader, including new IOCs and Yara Rules for detection. This advisory uses the MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK®) version 7 framework. See the ATT&CK for Enterprise version 7 for all referenced threat actor tactics and techniques. SUMMARY This joint cybersecurity advisory was coauthored by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This advisory describes the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by cybercriminals against targets in the Healthcare and Public Health Sector (HPH) to infect systems with ransomware, notably Ryuk and Conti, for financial gain. CISA, FBI, and HHS have credible information of an increased and imminent cybercrime threat to U.S. hospitals and healthcare providers. CISA, FBI, and HHS are sharing this information to provide warning to healthcare providers to ensure that they take timely and reasonable precautions to protect their networks from these threats. Key Findings • CISA, FBI, and HHS assess malicious cyber actors are targeting the HPH Sector with TrickBot and BazarLoader malware, often leading to ransomware attacks, data theft, and the disruption of healthcare services. • These issues will be particularly challenging for organizations within the COVID-19 pandemic; therefore, administrators will need to balance this risk when determining their cybersecurity investments.
