description: Background: Automated rhythm detection on echocardiography through artificial intelligence (AI) has yet to be fully realized. We propose an AI model trained to identify atrial fibrillation (AF) using apical 4-chamber (AP4) cines without requiring electrocardiogram (ECG) data. Methods: Transthoracic echocardiography studies of consecutive patients ≥ 18 years old at our tertiary care centre were retrospectively reviewed for AF and sinus rhythm. The study was first interpreted by level III-trained echocardiography cardiologists as the gold standard for rhythm diagnosis based on ECG rhythm strip and imaging assessment, which was also verified with a 12-lead ECG around the time of the study. AP4 cines with three cardiac cycles were then extracted from these studies with the rhythm strip and Doppler information removed and introduced to the deep learning model ResNet(2+1)D with an 80:10:10 training–validation–test split ratio. Results: 634 patient studies (1205 cines) were included. After training, the AI model achieved high accuracy on validation for detection of both AF and sinus rhythm (mean F1-score = 0.92; AUROC = 0.95). Performance was consistent on the test dataset (mean F1-score = 0.94, AUROC = 0.98) when using the cardiologist’s assessment of the ECG rhythm strip as the gold standard, who had access to the full study and external ECG data, while the AI model did not. Conclusions: AF detection by AI on echocardiography without ECG appears accurate when compared to an echocardiography cardiologist’s assessment of the ECG rhythm strip as the gold standard. This has potential clinical implications in point-of-care ultrasound and stroke risk stratification.

description: This paper introduces a reduced-order modeling approach based on finite volume methods for hyperbolic systems, combining Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) with the Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method (DEIM) and Proper Interval Decomposition (PID). Applied to systems such as the transport equation with source term, non-homogeneous Burgers equation, and shallow water equations with non-flat bathymetry and Manning friction, this method achieves significant improvements in computational efficiency and accuracy compared to previous time-averaging techniques. A theoretical result justifying the use of well-balanced Full-Order Models (FOMs) is presented. Numerical experiments validate the approach, demonstrating its accuracy and efficiency. Furthermore, the question of prediction of solutions for systems that depend on some physical parameters is also addressed, and a sensitivity analysis on POD parameters confirms the model's robustness and efficiency in this case.
Voluntariness With A Vengeance:' Miranda and a Modern Alternative

description: One of the most famous opinions in American jurisprudence is that of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Miranda v. Arizona. 384 U.S. 436 (1966). The Court's prophylactic rule in Miranda has been followed in both state and federal courts with little derogation for over thirty years. On February 8, 1999, in Dickerson v. United States. 166 F.3d 667, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ignored Miranda, turning instead to 18 U.S.C. ' 3501, a relatively obscure federal statute enacted in 1968 in response to the Court's decision in Miranda. The United State Supreme Court granted certiorari and heard oral arguments early in the summer of last year and on June 26, 2000, the Court reversed the opinion of the Fourth Circuit in Dickerson and reaffirmed Miranda and its progeny. There were many who felt the need for Miranda had passed; indeed, Congress enacted a legislative replacement just a few years after Miranda, and even today educators and politicians continue to criticize the opinion. The discussion in Dickerson focused on whether Miranda was a constitutional rule and thus, whether ' 3501 of the United States Code was a proper exercise of Congress' power. Had that argument been successful, ' 3501 would have been validated and Miranda would have faded into quiet disuetude. But the argument failed. The Supreme Court rejcted ' 3501 and reaffirmed Miranda and preserved all of its exceptions; exceptions created by the Court itself.
Thus Miranda is still the law today, despite its steady erosion by the judiciary over the decades and despite the early attempt by Congress to legislate an alternative.With the opinion in Dickerson, the Court has made it quite clear that Miranda will linger into the uncertain future. Acknowledging Miranda's survival, this thesis will explore the relevant facts and opinions in some detail then submit an alternative to the unpleasant result reached when a defendant's voluntary confession is suppressed due to a technical violation of the Court's famous rule.

We call instead for another type of infrastructure, “serverless clusters,” and discuss what is missing to make them a reality.

description: Highly variable Markarian 421 is a bright high synchrotron energy peaked blazar showing wide featureless non-thermal spectrum making it a good candidate for our study of intraday flux and spectral variations over time. We analyse its X-ray observations of over 17 years taken with the EPIC-PN instrument to probe into the intraday variability properties. The photon energy band of 0.3 - 10.0 keV, and its sub-bands, soft 0.3-2.0 keV and hard 2.0-10.0 keV. To examine flux variability, fractional variability amplitude and the minimum variability timescale have been calculated. We also probed into the spectral variability by studying hardness ratio for each observation and the correlation between the two energy bands using discrete correlation function and inspecting the normalized light curves. The parameters obtained from these methods have been studied for any correlation or non-random trends. From this work, we speculate on the constraints for possible particle acceleration and emission processes in the jet, for better understanding of the processes involving a turbulent behaviour except of shocks. A positive discrete correlation function between the two sub-bands indicates the role of the same electron population in the emission of photons in the two bands. The correlation between the parameters of flux variability and parameters of spectral variation and lags in sub-energy bands provide the constraints to be considered for any modelling of emission processes.

Global Poverty, Migration, and Guest Worker Programs
Creators: name: Young, Carson
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: The first chapter of this thesis argues that allowing greater immigration from poor countries to rich countries is a promising way to alleviate global poverty. Since guest worker programs may be a politically realistic way of increasing immigration from poor countries to rich countries, then if the argument in chapter one is successful, there are strong reasons for people who care about reducing global poverty to support increased guest worker programs. However, some philosophers argue that guest worker programs are unjust because they are likely to cause worrisome relational inequalities between guest workers and full citizens. The second chapter of this thesis argues that these relational egalitarian arguments against guest worker programs fail, and that there are in fact strong relational egalitarian reasons to support increased guest worker programs.

description: We designed a quantum circuit to prepare a permutation-symmetric maximally entangled three-qubit state called the $\vert {\rm S} \rangle$ state and experimentally created it on an NMR quantum processor. The presence of entanglement in the state was certified by computing two different entanglement measures, namely negativity and concurrence. We used the $\vert {\rm S} \rangle$ state in conjunction with a set of maximally incompatible local measurements, to demonstrate the maximal violation of inequality number $26$ in Sliwa's classification scheme, which is a tight Bell inequality for the (3,2,2) scenario i.e. the three party, two measurement settings and two measurement outcomes scenario.

When Simulations Conflict: Problems with the External Validation of Computer Simulations
Creators: name: Fields, Archie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: I show that Eric Winsberg's principles of model-building given in Science in the Age of Computer Simulation are insufficient to argue for the external validation of simulation data in cases in which simulation results conflict, and that laboratory experiments have an advantage over simulations because conflicting experimental results can be decided between on the basis of reproducibility. I also argue that robustness of predictions serves the same function for simulations as repeatability does for laboratory experiments in either adjudicating between conflicting results or allowing us to say that we do not have sufficient justification to validate the results. Finally, I argue for an interpretation of the argument from robustness that appeals to the convergence of many well-built and diverse models rather than the more common interpretation which appeals to the probability that one of a set of models is likely to be true.
On the Possibility of Robots Having Emotions
Creators: name: Hamilton, Cameron
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: I argue against the commonly held intuition that robots and virtual agents will never have emotions by contending robots can have emotions in a sense that is functionally similar to humans, even if the robots' emotions are not exactly equivalent to those of humans. To establish a foundation for assessing the robots' emotional capacities, I first define what emotions are by characterizing the components of emotion consistent across emotion theories. Second, I dissect the affective-cognitive architecture of MIT's Kismet and Leonardo, two robots explicitly designed to express emotions and to interact with humans, in order to explore whether they have emotions. I argue that, although Kismet and Leonardo lack the subjective feelings component of emotion, they are capable of having emotions.
Paramilitary Conflict in Colombia: A Case Study of Economic Causes of Conflict Recidivism

description: Following the peace accord on 26 September 2016 between the Colombian government and the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), significant structural issues persisted in Colombia, such as state fragility, land distribution challenges, and rural impoverishment, all of which jeopardized sustainable peace. Previous disarmament events indicated potential shifts in violence and recidivism rates among ex-combatants. This paper aims to determine the likelihood that, in the post-conflict era with FARC, these ex-combatants would rearm themselves into new criminal factions. Employing a methodology by Paul Collier, the study utilized logit, probit, and panel data models with both fixed and random effects to evaluate the recidivism risk at the municipal level. A 1% increase in per capita municipal income decreased conflict probability due to the increased opportunity cost of disrupting economic endeavors. Conversely, 1% increases in potential conflict benefits from tax revenue and natural resource proceeds raised the probability of conflict by 40% and 17%, respectively. Key results indicate that economic advancement, as measured by per capita income, reduced the duration of paramilitary presence, whereas revenue from taxes and natural resources extended it at the municipal level in Colombia.
On the Unity and Continuity of Science: Structural Realism's Underdetermination Problem and Reductive Structuralism's Solution
Creators: name: Nespica, Anthony
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Russell's claim that only structural knowledge of the world is possible was influentially criticized by Newman as rendering scientific discoveries trivial. I show that a version of this criticism also applies to the 'structural realism' more recently advocated by Worrall, which requires continuity of formal structure between predecessor and successor scientific theories. The problem is that structure, in its common set-theoretical construal, is radically underdetermined by the entities and relations over which it is defined, rendering intertheoretic continuity intolerably cheap. I show that this problem may be overcome by supplementing the purely formal relation of intertheoretic isomorphism with the semiformal 'Ontological Reductive Links' developed by Moulines and others of the German 'structuralist' approach to the philosophy of science.
Sleeping Beauty: A New Problem for Halfers
Creators: name: Nielsen, Michael
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: I argue against the halfer response to the Sleeping Beauty case by presenting a new problem for halfers. When the original Sleeping Beauty case is generalized, it follows from the halfer's key premise that Beauty must update her credence in a fair coin's landing heads in such a way that it becomes arbitrarily close to certainty. This result is clearly absurd. I go on to argue that the halfer's key premise must be rejected on pain of absurdity, leaving the halfer response to the original Sleeping Beauty case unsupported. I consider two ways that halfers might avoid the absurdity without giving up their key premise. Neither way succeeds. My argument lends support to the thirder response, and, in particular, to the idea that agents may be rationally compelled to update their beliefs despite not having learned any new evidence.

Classification and measurement of multipartite entanglement by reconstruction of correlation tensors on an NMR quantum processor

description: We introduce a protocol to classify three-qubit pure states into different entanglement classes and implement it on an NMR quantum processor. The protocol is designed in such a way that the experiments performed to classify the states can also measure the amount of entanglement present in the state. The classification requires the experimental reconstruction of the correlation matrices using 13 operators. The rank of the correlation matrices provide the criteria to classify the state in one of the five classes, namely, separable, biseparable (of three types), and genuinely entangled (of two types, GHZ and W). To quantify the entanglement, a concurrence function is defined which measures the global entanglement present in the state, using the same 13 operators. Global entanglement is zero for separable states and non-zero otherwise. We demonstrate the efficacy of the protocol by implementing it on states chosen from each of the six inequivalent (under stochastic local operations and classical communication) classes for three qubits. We also implement the protocol on states picked at random from the state space of three-qubit pure states.

Architecture and Urban Planning vis-àv-vis Infrastructural Europeanism: The E-Road Network and the Trans-European Petroleumscape

description: The paper examines the role of architects and urban planners in shaping connections between European land-based mobility, cities and landscapes. It will investigate the development of spaces aiming to link automobility to the everyday experience of European citizens in different countries, adjusting their interventions to local sensibilities. For over half a century, politicians have promoted transportation and transnational mobility for commodities and individuals by planning and funding the E-road network. This attempt to link the different European nations and overcome their separate plans has reshaped the urban landscape and the territory at large. The Declaration on the Construction of Main International Traffic Arteries in 1950 sketched a system that would connect Europe from Scandinavia to Sicily. The construction of a highway system for Europe was already anticipated in 1968. The paper demonstrates how urban planning and architecture play a key role in implementing new types of mobilities promoting environmental sustainability. At the centre of the paper lie the imaginaries produced by architects and urban planners, and their vision for highways in different national contexts and for their connexions to planned new towns. Taking into account that the EU and its nations aim to overcome regimes of petroleum-based mobility and associated architectures, the paper explains how the land-based transportation of both individuals and commodities in the E-Road network functions as an actor of planetary urbanization, investigating three kinds of nodes within the E-Road network: the nodes encountered on the E-Roads, those to be found at the gates to cities, and the new structures aiming to imitate the urban dimension but proposing a novel articulation of pedestrian and automobile circulation. It aims to relate the expression of the three nodes-typologies in various national contexts - characterised by different European urban planning methods - to overarching approaches in the design of mobility. The paper is developed around two layers: a layer concerning the comparison of the conception of highways within different national contexts, including the comparison of designs for the German Autobahn, the Italian autostrada, the French autoroutes à péage etc., and a layer discussing the designs and spatial imaginaries of the E-Road network. Analysing these layers will allow a better understanding of the tensions between national visions and trans-European urbanization, combining the local with the trans-European dimension, and contributing to a new understanding of the history of Europeanization.

description: Rotationally symmetric bodies with longitudinal cross sections of parabolic shape are frequently used to model astrophysical objects, such as magnetospheres and other blunt objects, immersed in interplanetary or interstellar gas or plasma flows. We discuss a simple formula for the potential flow of an incompressible fluid around an elliptic paraboloid whose axis of symmetry coincides with the direction of incoming flow. Prescribing this flow, we derive an exact analytical solution to the induction equation of ideal magnetohydrodynamics for the case of an initially homogeneous magnetic field of arbitrary orientation being passively advected in this flow. Our solution procedure employs Euler potentials and Cauchy's integral formalism based on the flow's stream function and isochrones. Furthermore, we use a particular renormalization procedure that allows us to generate more general analytical expressions modeling the deformations experienced by arbitrary scalar or vector-valued fields embedded in the flow as they are advected first toward and then past the parabolic obstacle. Finally, both the velocity field and the magnetic field embedded therein are generalized from incompressible to mildly compressible flow, where the associated density distribution is found from Bernoulli's principle.

Is It Wrong To Assume Full Compliance In Ideal Theory? : A Response To Schmidtz
Creators: name: Cetty, Chetan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: In his liberal theory of justice, John Rawls stipulates that the principles of justice selected will be generally complied with. This assumption of full compliance is characteristic of what Rawls calls 'ideal theory,' i.e., a theory that seeks to formulate and justify ideal principles of justice. David Schmidtz contends that the full compliance assumption undermines the practical relevance of ideal theory. I argue that Schmidtz's criticisms of full compliance do not succeed. Understanding why his arguments fail requires an examination of both Schmidtz's and Rawls's views of the nature of justice and the function of political philosophy. I explain why full compliance can plausibly be assumed in Rawls's ideal theory given the conception of justice he employs, and articulate the problem Schmidtz's argument faces if it relies on his view of the role of political philosophy.
Teleofunctionalism and the Normativity of Practical Rationality
Creators: name: DiDomenico, David
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis, I apply teleofunctionalism to a current debate concerning the normativity of practical rationality. Assuming teleofunctionalism is the correct theory of mental phenomena, I argue that it can provide a promising account of the normativity of practical rationality. This claim is motivated by the idea that a capacity to represent internal states, external states, and relations between these states as reasons for action has a teleofunction, and is thus a source of normativity. This teleofunction is marked by a distinctive causal role that reason-representation plays in action. Although I argue that this capacity developed out of processes of biological natural selection, the content of representations of reasons for action produced by the mechanisms underlying this capacity need not be determined solely by biological selection. In an effort to naturalize normativity in this way, I discuss the relation between biological-functional normativity and the normativity of rationality itself.

description: Since its regulatory approval over a half-century ago, botulinum toxin has evolved from one of the most potent neurotoxins known to becoming routinely adopted in clinical practice. Botulinum toxin, a highly potent neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum, can cause botulism illness, characterized by widespread muscle weakness due to inhibition of acetylcholine transmission at neuromuscular junctions. The observation of botulinum toxin’s anticholinergic properties led to the investigation of its potential benefits for conditions with an underlying etiology of cholinergic transmission, including autonomic nervous system dysfunction. These conditions range from disorders of the integument to gastrointestinal and urinary systems. Several formulations of botulinum toxin have been developed and tested over time, significantly increasing the availability of this treatment for appropriate clinical use. Despite the accelerated and expanded use of botulinum toxin, there lacks an updated comprehensive review on its therapeutic use, particularly to treat autonomic dysfunction. This narrative review provides an overview of the effect of botulinum toxin in the treatment of autonomic dysfunction and summarizes the different formulations and dosages most widely studied, while highlighting reported outcomes and the occurrence of any adverse events.

The "Progress of the Sentiments" in Hume's Political Philosophy
Creators: name: Shmidt, Adam
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis, I argue that David Hume's political philosophy is centrally focused on the prospect of social reform. The conception of justice and politics he develops out of his theories of virtue and moral psychology stresses the pervasive effects of institutions on individuals' abilities to live decent lives and provides criteria for determining the relative success of such institutions. While Hume's political philosophy has been interpreted as justifying a society's status quo, I demonstrate that the principles of merit, need, and equality'commonly considered core principles of social justice'each play a vital role in his view of what constitutes a healthy, stable society. In particular, I contend that Hume's emphasis on institutions guaranteeing equal protection of basic rights, the role of the common good in the moral justification of political institutions, and the material and social circumstances of equality that make the institution of justice possible, suggest that social reform is a central concern of his theory of justice and politics.

description: In this paper, I defend Rawlsian Political Liberalism from the integrity objection. Integrity objectors claim that political liberals unjustifiably exclude certain religious citizens from making use of their religious values when voting upon basic principles of justice and constitutional essentials. I argue, first, that the integrity objection does not apply to political liberalism. Second, I claim that there is a place in the public, political culture for citizens to make use of their comprehensive values. Third, I argue that attempts to reformulate political liberalism to avoid the integrity objection are ultimately unsuccessful.

description: Deep learning has achieved promising progress for digital elevation model (DEM) super-resolution (SR). However, the existing methods rarely consider the integration of multi-modal data with auxiliary high-frequency information. A primary challenge stems from the heterogeneous feature representations among these data sources, which complicates the effective learning of the terrain feature mapping relationships. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for DEM SR by integrating optical remote sensing imagery as the auxiliary data. A terrain-guided texture-edge feature fusion network is constructed to transfer the feature representation of high-resolution image textures with the guidance of informative terrain features, for adapting DEM SR learning. By exploiting the multi-dimensional attention mechanism, the meaningful components from the image conforming to the terrain features provide high-frequency information for DEM SR, while noisy features related to spectral variations are excluded from modelling. The terrain-oriented textural and edge features are then fused to generate the SR result with the constraint of a terrain feature-aware loss function. Extensive experiments on both simulated and real datasets indicate that the proposed method can reconstruct a DEM with high-accuracy elevation and sharper terrain details, and outperforms the state-of-art methods.
Why Immoral Art Cannot Morally Harm Us
Creators: name: Caruso, Maria
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Both philosophers and literary critics have championed artworks as necessary to moral education. As a result many of these critics believe that art that is bad or immoral can causally affect our character, resulting in moral harm. Moral harm is the idea that artworks possess a strong disposition to affect our moral beliefs such that we are less able to distinguish between what is good and what is bad. I examine this concept of moral harm and argue that immoral artworks do not have this kind of causal power over our moral beliefs. Proponents of the moral harm thesis are in error to attribute such a power to artworks. Additionally, I propose a definition of immoral artworks consistent with moral harm, as well as discuss the distinction between immoral artworks and artworks that are merely elicit disgust or offense.

Rho-Kinase Inhibition of Active Force and Passive Tension in Airway Smooth Muscle: A Strategy for Treating Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Asthma

description: Rho-kinase inhibitors have been identified as a class of potential drugs for treating asthma because of their ability to reduce airway inflammation and active force in airway smooth muscle (ASM). Past research has revealed that, besides the effect on the ASM’s force generation, rho-kinase (ROCK) also regulates actin filament formation and filament network architecture and integrity, thus affecting ASM’s cytoskeletal stiffness. The present review is not a comprehensive examination of the roles played by ROCK in regulating ASM function but is specifically focused on passive tension, which is partially determined by the cytoskeletal stiffness of ASM. Understanding the molecular basis for maintaining active force and passive tension in ASM by ROCK will allow us to determine the suitability of ROCK inhibitors and its downstream enzymes as a class of drugs in treating airway hyperresponsiveness seen in asthma. Because clinical trials using ROCK inhibitors in the treatment of asthma have yet to be conducted, the present review focuses on the in vitro effects of ROCK inhibitors on ASM’s mechanical properties which include active force generation, relaxation, and passive stiffness. The review provides justification for future clinical trials in the treatment of asthma using ROCK inhibitors alone and in combination with other pharmacological and mechanical interventions.
Stilz and Simmons on Justification, Legitimacy and Coercion
Creators: name: Mehrwein, Laurie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: This thesis addresses the conflict between Anna Stilz and specific liberal political philosophers regarding the nature of duties and obligations owed by individuals to the state. First, I will analyze Stilz's argument about the nature and grounds of obligation, then address the case against such obligations, particularly as presented by the philosophical anarchist A. John Simmons. Finally, I address what I believe to be the root of the disagreement.
The low-rank hypothesis of complex systems

description: Complex systems are high-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems with intricate interactions among their constituents. To make interpretable predictions about their large-scale behavior, it is typically assumed, without a clear statement, that these dynamics can be reduced to a few number of equations involving a low-rank matrix describing the network of interactions -- what we call the low-rank hypothesis. Our paper sheds light on this assumption and questions its validity. By leveraging fundamental theorems on singular value decomposition, we expose the hypothesis for various random graphs, either by making explicit their low-rank formulation or by demonstrating the exponential decrease of their singular values. Notably, we verify the hypothesis experimentally for real networks by revealing the rapid decrease of their singular values, which has major consequences on their effective ranks. We then evaluate the impact of the low-rank hypothesis for general dynamical systems on networks through an optimal dimension reduction. This allows us to prove that recurrent neural networks can be exactly reduced, and to connect the rapidly decreasing singular values of real networks to the dimension reduction error of the nonlinear dynamics they support, be it microbial, neuronal or epidemiological. Finally, we prove that higher-order interactions naturally emerge from the dimension reduction, thus providing theoretical insights into the origin of higher-order interactions in complex systems.

Philosophical Pessimism: A Study In The Philosophy Of Arthur Schopenhauer
Creators: name: Smith, Cameron
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Schopenhauer argues, strikingly, that it would have been better if life had not come into existence. In this essay I consider this pessimistic judgment from a philosophical perspective. I take on the following three tasks. First, I consider whether such judgments, apparently products of temperament rather than reason, can be the subject of productive philosophical analysis. I argue that they can be, since, importantly, we can separate arguments for such judgments that establish them as plausible from those that do not. Second, I evaluate Schopenhauer's arguments for pessimism. I argue that although we must reject Schopenhauer's main argument for pessimism, he has another, more plausible argument for pessimism that hitherto has been neglected by scholars. Finally, I argue that although pessimism can be established as the correct judgment about life in some possible worlds, in our world the question of pessimism or optimism cannot be definitively answered.

A Sticky Space Model for Explanation and Individuation of Anchoring Effects
Creators: name: Hatcher, Robert
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Current explanations for anchoring phenomena seem to be unable to account for the diversity of effects found by 40 years of research. Additionally, the theories do not have much to say about the processes that make anchors so resilient to modification. I argue that by focusing on the mechanisms involved in spatial representation, we can account for most anchoring effects which have spatial components.
The Unity of Happiness and Reason in Hegel
Creators: name: Monetti, Carson
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: In this paper, I discuss the connection between happiness and reason in the work of Herder, Kant, and Hegel. First, I consider Herder's integration of satisfaction and rationality and Kant's complete separation of rational imperatives from particular experience. I discuss (and partially endorse) Kant's critique of Herder as arbitrary and overly reliant on analogy. I then turn to Hegel's response to this debate. I argue that Hegel's Phenomenology provides an integration of happiness (in the broad, Aristotelian sense) and reason that is not subject to the same pitfalls as Herder's solution. I examine two examples of rational critique in the Phenomenology and conclude with brief remarks about happiness and the rational society in Hegel's work.
Kant's Logic and the Completeness of his Table of Judgments
Creators: name: Kim, Hyoung Sung
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Kant famously claims his table of judgments is complete. However, Kant does not provide a demonstration of his claim of completeness. In fact, he does not seem to think that a proof of completeness is necessary. I argue that we can reconstruct a demonstration that Kant would accept once we reflect upon his notion of a disjunctive judgment.
Freedom and Equality in Education: A Private School - Publicly Funded Voucher Education System
Creators: name: Ravenelle, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: In this thesis, I argue that a nationalized private school ' publicly financed voucher system (PRS / PFV system) of education provides a solution to the current problems plaguing the American public education system. Although previous arguments focus on a privatized system being more efficient than the current public system, I will not focus on this issue in my discussion. Despite criticism of privatized education systems by multiple empirical analyses, I do not fully engage the empirical literature here. As there has never been a nationalized private school ' publicly funded voucher system like the one supported here, there is no direct empirical evidence that provides reason not to support such a system. Rather, my discussion is purely theoretical and will only briefly address some of the prospective theoretical concerns that are raised by the empirical research.
Is Gender Needed for Justice?
Creators: name: Andler, Matthew
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Against Sally Haslanger's influential position, I argue that gender is not needed to ensure the just treatment of sexually differentiated human bodies. Gender is only needed if the just treatment of socially important sexual differences is most effectively realized through the use of gender terms, such as 'woman' or 'man.' In light of this aforementioned condition, I assess the following phenomena: sex differences relevant to health and medicine, reproduction, and childcare. In all of these cases, compared to gender terms, non-gender terms, such as 'female,' 'pregnant person,' or 'lactating person,' more simply and accurately capture the morally relevant features of socially important sexually specific phenomena. For this reason, I find that the gender is not needed for justice.
