When perception bypasses truth: attention, bias, and the structure of social stereotypes
Creators: name: Baker, Anna Austin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Is perception accurate? How wide spread is inaccuracy in perception and under what conditions do our perceptual capacities undermine our ability to accurately perceive? This dissertation examines two examples of perceptual inaccuracy: attention altering perceptual phenomenology (making attended to stimuli appear bigger, brighter, and higher in spatial frequency) and social stereotypes impairing low-level perceptual judgments. There is a prevailing assumption in philosophy and cognitive science that perception is--and functions to be--truth oriented. However, I herein argue that our perceptual faculties often fail to deliver truth. Moreover, understanding how our cognitive architecture gives rise to systematic perceptual inaccuracy can provide us with insight into just how much our experience of the world is shaped by our social categories and computational limitations. In chapters 1 and 2, I consider the way social stereotypes shape perceptual judgments. We know social stereotypes influence many of our judgments. Women, for example, are deemed less likely to succeed than men in especially intellectually demanding tasks (Bian et al. 2018). This suggests that higher-order judgments about qualities like 'brilliance' or 'genius' can be shaped by our gender stereotypes. But might stereotypes be so cognitively entrenched that they could affect more basic perceptual judgments as well? For example, would harboring the stereotype 'doctors are men' make it more difficult to visually process a female doctor? These chapters empirically and philosophically consider this question and its larger social ramifications. I argue that my empirical work with Jorge Morales and Chaz Firestone suggests that stereotyping has a considerably wider scope of causal influence than has been appreciated in the philosophical and psychological literature, which can shed light of larger patterns of discrimination.In chapter 3, I take on another, more basic, facet of perceptual inaccuracy--the phenomenological effects of voluntary and involuntary attention. I argue that much of the empirical evidence supports the interpretation that attention inaccurately distorts many aspects of our perceptual experience. On the face of it, these findings appear to be difficult to reconcile with the view that perception functions to furnish us with accurate representations of the world. However, rather than claim that our perceptual systems are constantly in the process of malfunctioning, I argue that perception instead functions to guide action and that this can satisfactorily explain many examples of perceptual inaccuracy.

It is mainly distributed from northern Morocco, southern Spain, Sicily and southern Greece in the south, and to northern Sweden in the north. It occurs from Ireland, in the west, to the Ural Mountains in the east. The nominal subspecies is widely dispersed through the continent, while the southern subspecies is more abundant in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic area (Ornosa & Ortiz-Sánchez 2004). It is not considered as threatened at the continental scale (Least Concern in the IUCN Red List of European Bees, Rasmont et al. 2015).

Change talk in smokers with serious mental illness
Creators: name: Billingsley, Benjamin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Introduction: Change talk (CT), or client language that is consistent with making a behavioral change, has been found to contribute to Motivational Interviewing’s (MI) efficacy. It is not known, however, if change talk helps to explain MI’s effect on instigating a quit attempt in smokers with serious mental illness.Methods: We measured CT and sustain talk (ST) in smokers with serious mental illness (SMI) randomized to receive a single session adaptation of motivational interviewing (AMI) or an interactive education intervention. We evaluated relationships between change/sustain talk, treatment condition, and quit attempts.Results: Participants receiving the AMI condition had higher proportions of CT and lower proportions of ST than the interactive education condition. However, proportion of change talk did not mediate the relationship between treatment condition and outcome, nor was proportion of change talk in the tenth decile predictive of outcome above total proportion of change talk.Conclusions: Our study is the first to show that motivational interviewing has the same change talk augmenting effect in individuals with SMI as those without SMI. Given that anhedonia, negative affect, and depressive symptoms are a major part of serious mental illnesses (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), it is encouraging that MI can generate change talk in this population. Future smoking cessation induction trials with larger samples should investigate whether greater amounts of CT lead to increased quit attempts in this population.

description: We find relations between real root decompositions of triples of Lie algebras corresponding to standard compact Clifford-Klein forms, under the assumption that these triples are not Lie algebra decompositions in the sense of Onishchik. This enables us to find new classes of homogeneous spaces of simple real Lie groups which do not admit standard compact Clifford-Klein forms. In particular, we show that proper R-regular subalgebras of simple real Lie algebras never generate homogeneous spaces which admit compact standard Cliffrod-Klein forms.

The true and the good
Creators: name: Black, David
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Ethics and epistemology are both normative fields. Philosophers talk about what we should do, what we have reason to believe, whether truth or pleasure is the ultimate good. Since they are both normative, we should expect that there are structural and substantive analogies between the two fields. In this dissertation, I develop and explore four of those analogies.In “Epistemic Punishments”, I argue that an aspect of our epistemic practice looks a lot like the informal, social punishments we impose on each other. Moreover, epistemic punishments can be justified in the same way that the more familiar social sanctions are. “Liberal Neutrality and False Beliefs” argues against a core tenet of liberalism. Though the state need not respect disagreement about fact, liberal neutrality says that the state must respect disagreements about value. Because of the similarities between action and belief evaluation, liberal neutralists cannot maintain this asymmetry. In “Praiseworthiness (and Knowledge) from Falsehood", I present a counterexample to the claim that an action is praiseworthy when it is done for the right reasons. This counterexample runs parallel to an epistemic one. Cases of knowledge from falsehood show that you can know p even if you don't believe p for the right reasons. I conclude that both knowledge and praise require onlythat your reasons are “good enough”.Finally, “Moral Swamping” poses a moral version of an epistemic problem. The swamping problem challenges us to explain why it's good to form justified beliefs. A true belief, based on good evidence, is no more true than the same belief based on superstition. A false belief, based on good evidence, is no less false than one picked from a hat. I argue that there is a similar puzzle in explaining the value of freedom. An agent who pursues the good freely need not do a better job than one who is compelled. An agent who pursues the bad freely won't necessarily perform better than one in the grips of addiction, manipulation, or irrationality. Why, then, should we care about freedom at all?
Inhuman empire: slavery and nonhuman animals in the British Atlantic world
Creators: name: Blakley, Christopher Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation examines how material interactions between slaveholders, enslaved people, and nonhuman animals shaped the territorial expansion of the British Empire in the era of the Atlantic slave trade. My project is an environmental history of slavery and slaving from the Royal African Company’s entrance into the castle trade in 1672 through the American Revolution to the abolition of the trade in 1808. I argue that human-animal entanglements generated by slaving constituted a decisive factor in expanding the political, scientific, and economic networks of the empire. Inhuman Empire challenges the predominantly European frame of ecological imperialism by interrogating the ecological, social, and cultural interplay between English enslavers, Atlantic Africans, and animals. I use the theoretical frameworks of eco-cultural networks and modes of interaction to draw out how these relations shaped the expanding geography of slavery in the British Atlantic world. English and African traders exchanged animals as propitiatory sacrifices, gifts, and media of exchange to forge bonds of alliance and commerce on the Gold Coast and the Bight of Benin. Naturalists studying the faunal environments of slave depots from New Spain to North American plantations became slaveholders or relied on the judgment and collecting efforts of enslaved people to gather specimens for natural history collections. On Caribbean and Chesapeake plantations, enslavers raising sugar and tobacco harnessed the labor and bodily energy of slaves and draft animals. However, many animals proved difficult to control in the pursuit of imperial profit. Intractable vermin ruined plantations at alarming rates, and planters produced the category of pests to describe the animals beyond their control. Most importantly, enslaved people resisted their bondage and undermined the institution of slavery by injuring, starving, or stealing animals for their own purposes, while black intellectuals produced critiques of slavery as the foundation of an “inhuman” empire as central to the campaign to abolish the slave trade. The centrality of human-animal networks that supported slaving and slavery is one conclusion of this dissertation, which intervenes in early American environmental history. A second conclusion is that this environmental history provides a valuable materialist account that supports formerly enslaved people’s narratives and experiences of becoming less-than-fully human animalized subjects in the long eighteenth century.

description: The theory of gravity with a quadratic contribution of scalar curvature is investigated using a dynamical systems approach. The simplest Friedmann--Robertson--Walker metric is employed to formulate the dynamics in both the Jordan frame and the conformally transformed Einstein frame. We show that, in both frames, there are stable de Sitter states where the expansion of the Hubble function naturally includes terms corresponding to an effective dark matter component. Using the invariant center manifold, we demonstrate that, in the Einstein frame, there exists a zero-measure set of initial conditions that lead from an unstable to a stable de Sitter state. Additionally, the initial de Sitter state is associated with a parallelly propagated singularity. We show that the formulations of the theory in the Jordan frame and the Einstein frame are physically nonequivalent.

Evolution of the lunar crust recorded in the meteoritic feldspathic regolith breccias Northwest Africa 10291 and 11182: insights into the heterogeneity and petrogenesis of crustal lithologies using petrology and mineral chemistry
Creators: name: Boyle, Shannon

description: The geology of the Moon represents nearly a continuous geological record from its formation during the giant impact that resulted in the Earth-Moon system, to its state today. Therefore, it is a prime location for understanding one path of planetary evolution. Lunar meteorites are on average samples of rock and regolith from random areas on the lunar surface. As such, they represent our best available tools to study the crustal evolution of the Moon because they provide data on lunar petrology, geochemistry, and chronology, as well as data on the variety of existing lunar lithologies different from Apollo and Luna mission sample return sites. We investigated two lunar feldspathic regolith breccias found in 2017, Northwest Africa (NWA) 10291 and NWA 11182, to understand their petrogenetic origin and, more broadly, the evolution of lithologies present in unsampled areas of the Moon and place constraints on lunar crustal evolution in these areas. Both meteorites experienced terrestrial weathering, NWA 10291 less so than NWA 11182. NWA 10291 contains a variety of lithic clasts from the lunar highlands ranging from anorthosites to norites and gabbronorites, to pyroxenites. The matrix is mostly dominated by pyroxene grains that mostly have a very low Ti-basalt signature. In addition, NWA 10291 contains mineral grain fragments in the matrix of zircon, silica, and Na- and K-rich plagioclase. The bulk composition of other meteorites paired with NWA 10291, however, show low Th and low FeO content, indicating that this meteorite may have originated from the lunar farside feldspathic highland terrane (FHT), within the vicinity of South Pole Aitken basin. In contrast, most clasts in NWA 11182 are granulites, impact melt breccias, or recrystallized impact melt. They show a large compositional variation in Mg# ranging from hyperferroan (Mg# ~40) to highly magnesian (Mg# 80); however, a bimodal distribution between ferroan anorthosites (FAN) and magnesium-anorthosites (MAN) was identified using the Lilliefors test at the 95 and 99% confidence level. Judging from the lack of KREEP and presence of both FAN and MAN lithologies, NWA 11182 most likely originated from a region far from the Procellarum KREEP Terrane, between the lunar farside highland terrane (more Mg-rich) and the nearside highland terrane (more ferroan). Future bulk composition measurements could be used to further constrain the source regions of both meteorites.

description: An identity that is reminiscent of the Littlewood identity plays a fundamental role in recent proofs of the facts that alternating sign triangles are equinumerous with totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions and that alternating sign trapezoids are equinumerous with holey cyclically symmetric lozenge tilings of a hexagon. We establish a bounded version of a generalization of this identity. Further, we provide combinatorial interpretations of both sides of the identity. The ultimate goal would be to construct a combinatorial proof of this identity (possibly via an appropriate variant of the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence) and its unbounded version as this would improve the understanding of the relation between alternating sign trapezoids and plane partition objects.

P4P: Steps Toward more Adaptive Internets:  charting Open-Source, P2P and Local-First Networks
Creators: name: Elfen, Zenna
Publisher: name: Aarhus University
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Peer-to-peer architecture (Computer networks)

description: This study explores the development and implementation of Peer-for-Peer (P4P) networks, a family of open-source, peer-to-peer, and local-first communication protocols. Rooted in the principles of complexity theory and an ontological basis in complex realism, the research examines how small, modular, and community-driven infrastructures can serve as adaptive solutions in response to ecological, social, and technological crises.
Through a mixed-methods approach, including interviews with nine case studies and an in-person workshop, the study identifies design principles that enable resilience and sustainability in P4P ecosystems. Findings highlight the critical role of modularity—both technical and social—in fostering self-organization, adaptability, and mutual aid within decentralized networks. The study also introduces the concept of "nested isomorphism," revealing how the structural patterns of technical systems influence the organizational structures that develop them.
P4P protocols, such as Willow, Mapeo, and Scuttlebutt, demonstrate the viability of localized and distributed communication infrastructures that prioritize user agency and digital sovereignty. These systems challenge the colonial structures of global internet infrastructure by empowering communities to build and maintain their own resilient networks.
This research contributes to complexity theory by expanding the understanding of self-organizing systems and isomorphic tendencies of technical and organizational structures. The research presents a framework for designing future communication infrastructures that align with principles of sustainability and inclusivity. The implications of these findings extend to the fields of open-source development, decentralized networks, and adaptive infrastructure design, offering pathways toward a more equitable and resilient digital future.

Note. This subspecies is based on nine specimens labeled “Mayidi, Bas-Zaïre”. Mayidi is a place with a very small population in the province of Bas-Congo, (formerly known as Kongo Central and then Bas-Zaïre), one of the eleven provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Description (in part, see Basilewsky 1987: 193). “Finally, I have seen at eye a small series of specimens, collected in Bas-Zaïre, similar to the previous form, differing from it in its body size, which smaller (10.5–12 mm contrary to 14–16 mm in C. m. discrepans), in its differently-shaped pronotum with margins less rounded anteriorly, surface, more rugate, in its elytra which narrower and somewhat less ovoid, colouration, with elytral maculae smaller, less transversal and more squared, its intervals, more densely and more grossly punctured. Because of a suite, constantly different, and isolated geographical area of occuring, I consider it a new subspecies, denominated C. magnicollis inguilinus ssp. nov. Aedeagi of three cited subspecies differ very weakly [Plate 14, Figs 116–118] in its apex differently shaped in dorsal view” (see Basilewsky 1987: 198).

The energetic and nutritional costs of motherhood in wild Bornean orangutans
Creators: name: Bransford, Timothy Dale
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Lactation is the most energetically expensive part of reproduction for female mammals, and species utilize different strategies to overcome these energetic costs. Mother orangutans exhibit multiyear lactation and have the longest lactational period of any mammal, with infants nursing for up to eight years spanning multiple unpredictable fruiting cycles. Still, there is little research on how mothers are able to raise an infant over the course of multiple years. The main goal of this dissertation is to examine the behavioral strategies and consequent physiological responses that mother orangutans use to maximize fitness across periods of infant development. Specifically, I seek to determine 1) if a mother modifies her daily activity, dietary composition, and nutritional intake throughout infant development, 2) how the energetic condition of a mother varies across infant development, and 3) how a mother who lactates across multiple years maintains homeostasis in a relatively marginal and variable energetic environment.In Chapter Two, I explore mother orangutan behavior by investigating if there is variation in a mother’s activity and feeding behavior. I find that a mother in higher fruiting periods utilizes a strategy that maximizes food intake, especially ripe fruit, while in lower fruiting periods she minimizes her activity to conserve energy while feeding more on non-fruit items. In Chapter Three, I analyze a mother’s caloric and macronutrient intake estimates based on nutritional analyzes of orangutan food items and apply the Geometric Framework of Nutrition to determine if a mother is prioritizing a specific ratio of macronutrients. I find that when a mother has a young infant, she increases her caloric and carbohydrate intake during periods of high fruit available, but cannot do this during low fruit periods and has a much reduced caloric intake. Additionally, during high fruit periods, a mother consumes a similar macronutrient ratio regardless of infant age, and this ratio is potentially the best ratio to build up fat reserves. In Chapter Four, I analyze urinary biomarkers to determine how a mother’s energetic condition varies across her lactation period, and I show that overall, a mother is in her worst energetic condition while she has a young infant during periods of low fruit availability. Collectively, these chapters demonstrate that the greatest period of maternal care in orangutans is while a mother has a two-year-old infant, especially in low periods of fruit availability.
Monopoles, BPS states, and 't Hooft defects in 4D N = 2 theories of class S

description: Monopoles are a fundamental feature of non-abelian gauge theories. They are relevant to the study of confinement and general non-perturbative quantum effects. In this dissertation we study some aspects of monopoles in supersymmetric non-abelian gauge theories. In particular, we focus primarily on 't Hooft defects (magnetically charged defects) and their interaction with smooth, supersymmetric monopoles. Here we use a semiclassical approximation to study the spectrum of bound states between such monopoles and 't Hooft defects and the phase transitions where this spectrum changes discontinuously. Then, we use string theory and localization techniques to compute the expectation value of 't Hooft defects as operators in the full quantum theory. Using the computed expectation value, we are able to directly study the non-perturbative process called monopole bubbling in which smooth monopoles dissolve into an 't Hooft defect. Then, by combining the results of string theory techniques with localization techniques, we are able to derive general formulas for the full spectrum of monopole bound states in all possible phases of the theory.

description: Decentralized systems are a subset of distributed systems where multiple authorities control different components and no authority is fully trusted by all. This implies that any component in a decentralized system is potentially adversarial. We revise fifteen years of research on decentralization and privacy, and provide an overview of key systems, as well as key insights for designers of future systems. We show that decentralized designs can enhance privacy, integrity, and availability but also require careful trade-offs in terms of system complexity, properties provided, and degree of decentralization. These trade-offs need to be understood and navigated by designers. We argue that a combination of insights from cryptography, distributed systems, and mechanism design, aligned with the development of adequate incentives, are necessary to build scalable and successful privacy-preserving decentralized systems.

In vivo characterization of a prevascularized, load-bearing scaffold for bone regeneration
Creators: name: Buckley, Christian E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Due to the increasing number of orthopedic injuries occurring each year, there is a critical need for better treatments of improperly healed fractures. Today’s treatments, such as autografts, allografts, and biocompatible ceramics, all have their own drawbacks, including donor site morbidity, disease transmission, and poor degradation rates. To circumvent these problems, bone tissue engineering utilizes various biocompatible materials and cells to mimic native bone while new tissue is created. We have developed a prevascularized tissue-engineered scaffold that combines two stereoisomers of polylactic acid and hydroxyapatite to simultaneously entice osteogenic and vascular differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. In this study, we have implanted these scaffolds into a radial defect model in New Zealand white rabbits for 8 weeks. Radiographic images at 4 and 8 weeks have shown considerable remodeling occurring at the implant site and stable implants throughout the study. Results from micro computed tomography showed a large amount of new bone growth into and around the scaffold, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Mechanical testing resulted in similar amounts of force required to remove the scaffold from the implant site when compared to the allograft control. Finally, histological analysis showed collagen deposition into and around the scaffolds with many cells present throughout. Signs of vasculature can be seen in the osteons but there is little evidence of angiogenesis. The tissue-engineered scaffold used in this study was comparable to an allograft, one of today’s gold standards, and shows potential to be a clinically useful alternative.
