Filipinx American and Science Identities: Intersectionality in Experiences and Storylines
Creators: name: Tabora, Johan
Publisher: name: University of Illinois Chicago
Year: 2025

description: Filipino Americans’ (FilAms’) unique positioning in the United States’ racial structure is shaped by two interweaving structures that become enduring storylines influencing FilAms’ lives and shaping their science identities. FilAms are enveloped in the Model Minority Myth (MMM) but are also minoritized in other situations. Moreover, colonialism shapes the Filipino mindset, and FilAms, as former colonized subjects living in a colonizer’s country, are subject to forms of marginalization and racialization. In this dissertation research study, I explored how one science student’s, Felix’s, FilAm identity interacted with his science identity and how experiences and storylines were implicated in this interaction. The theoretical framing I built brings together identity theories, the structure-agency dialectic, and critical race theory perspectives that aim to dismantle power of oppressive structures. This framing guided the instrumental case study research design which included data such as journal entries and conversations. A multimodal discourse analysis focusing on speech and gestures was used to analyze the data.

Two main findings emerged. First, Felix’s science and FilAm identities mediated and were mediated by his other identities resulting in various aspects of Felix’s identities being shifted or being put into conversation with one another. Second, experiences and storylines shaped Felix’s identities at the same time his agency, associated with his multiple identities, provided opportunities for him to push back against dominant storylines about FilAms and science. These interactions between experiences and storylines, and his identities unfolded via his role model identity, his pursuit of a double major in ethnic studies and statistics instead of chemical engineering as a form of agency to interrogate science career choices and science career storylines for FilAms, and his desire to become a lawyer.

The findings highlight the complex interactions between a person’s multiple identities and how particular structures, such as colonialism, racism, and science provide distinct affordances and constraints to FilAms in science, as, at the same time, these structures strengthened an identity’s agentic nature to reimagine oneself and to resist dominant storylines that impinge on the lives of FilAms. The findings also reinforce the importance of recognition for marginalized science students while elaborating on how recognition for one’s ability in science can lead to reinforcing the same oppressive structures that inhibit marginalized science students. Moreover, the findings underscore the need of a critical consciousness as a catalyst in the formation of critical agency as means of desettling normative practices in science.

description: Ceramics have been extensively used in aerospace, automotive, medical, and energy industries due to their unique combination of mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. The objective of this thesis is to develop an extrusion based ceramic 3D printing process to digitally produce a casting mold. To achieve the objective, an in-house designed ceramic 3D printer was developed by converting a filament based plastic 3D printer. For mold making applications, zircon was selected because it is an ultra-high temperature ceramic with high toughness and good refractory properties. Additionally, alumina, bioglass, and zirconia slurries were formulated and used as the feedstock material for the ceramic 3D printer. The developed 3D printing system was used to demonstrate successful printing of special feature parts such as thin-walled high aspect ratio structures and biomimetically inspired complex structures. Also, proof of concept with regard to the application of 3D printing for producing zircon molds and casting of metal parts was also successfully demonstrated. To characterize the printed parts, microhardness test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were conducted. The zircon samples showed an increase in hardness value with an initial increase in heat treatment temperature followed by a drop due to the development of porosity in the microstructure, caused by the decomposition of the binder. The peak hardness value for zircon was observed to be 101±10 HV0.2. Similarly, the microhardness values of the other 3D printed ceramic specimens were observed to increase from 37±3 to 112±5 HV0.2 for alumina, 23±5 to 35±1 HV0.2 for bioglass, and 22±5 to 31±3 HV0.2 for zirconia, before and after the heat-treatment process, respectively. Finally, a system model for the ceramic 3D printing system was developed through the application of the model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach using the MagicGrid framework. Through the system engineering effort, a logical level solution architecture was modeled, which captured the different system requirements, the system behaviors, and the system functionalities. Also, a traceability matrix for the system from a very abstract logical level to the definition of physical requirements for the subsystems was demonstrated.
The mechanism of triglyceride partitioning - how the ANGPTL3-4-8 system of proteins orchestrates tissue energy distribution.

description: The incidence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is increasing worldwide and accompanied by elevated risks for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other subsequent comorbidities. MetS is associated with increased circulating triglycerides. A key enzyme involved in triglyceride (TG) clearance is lipoprotein lipase (LPL) whose activity is modulated by a variety of factors.Recent literature has identified the importance of angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTL) as regulators of LPL activity and has hypothesized a model in which three of these proteins interact with LPL to regulate the partitioning of TG metabolism from adipose to skeletal muscle. The work detailed in this dissertation adds to the model of ANGPTL regulation of LPL by establishing how ANGPTL8 modulates the ability of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL4 to inhibit LPL activity in the bloodstream and localized environments, respectively.In the updated model, elevated insulin concentrations result in increased hepatic ANGPTL3/8 secretion and increased ANGPTL4/8 in adipose tissue. ANGPTL3/8 works as an endocrine molecule to inhibit skeletal muscle LPL from hydrolyzing circulating TG. Simultaneously, ANGPTL4/8 works in a paracrine mechanism to bind LPL on the endothelial vasculature adjacent to adipose tissue to alleviate ANGPTL4-mediated LPL inhibition and also prevent ANGPTL3/8 inhibition of localized LPL. Thus, in the postprandial state free fatty acids (FFA) from the hydrolysis of TG are directed into adipocytes for storage.Under fasting conditions, ANGPTL8 production is decreased in adipocytes and hepatocytes. This decreased production results in diminished ANGPTL4/8 and ANGPTL3/8 secretion from their respective tissues. As a result, ANGPTL4 inhibits adipocyte localized LPL activity while ANGPTL3 at physiological concentrations has minimal effect on LPL activity. Furthermore, any ANGPTL3/8 which is produced has its LPL-inhibitory ability diminished by the circulating apolipoprotein ApoA5. LPL is more active in skeletal muscle compared to adipose tissue where energy is shunted towards utilization in the muscle and away from storage in adipose tissue. A complete understanding of LPL regulation by ANGPTL proteins can potentially provide therapeutics targets for MetS.

description: With technology advancements and the prices of electronic components reducing over the last fifteen years, many devices and systems that would have been proprietary only for large companies or industry giants are becoming an everyday household item. Various areas of technology have been benefiting from this but one of the biggest is the Internet of Things (IoT).With the prevalence of IoT, it has been integrated into houses, small businesses, farms, agriculture, building automation, etc. and the user population is now a resource to the industry as they complete personal projects. Within any project there are always limitations, this might be a limited time, limited funds, limited distance, or limitations of the devices being used. This study proposes to evaluate two low-powered networks, Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT)and Long-Range Wide-Area Network(LoRaWAN), in different environments with the goal of understanding where the signal propagation is better and what distances can be reached despite obstructions. Distances and signal propagations, when measured by the manufacturers are often evaluated in ideal conditions which is rarely the case when utilized in the field. This creates a gap in the deployment and the end-users are frequently faced with diminished performances. As IoT is predominantly employed in urban and rural areas this study will focus on those two settings by testing the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)at various distances. The evaluation testing of the two systems showed each system performing more consistently in rural areas but neither had 100% coverage at any locations.

BACKGROUND: Online study recruitment is increasingly popular, but we know little about the decision making that goes into joining studies in this manner. In GeneScreen, a genomic screening study that utilized online education and consent, we investigated participants' perceived ease when deciding to join and their understanding of key study features. METHODS: Individuals were recruited via mailings that directed them to a website where they could learn more about GeneScreen, consent to participate, and complete a survey. RESULTS: Participants found it easy to decide to join GeneScreen and had a good understanding of study features. Multiple regression analyses revealed that ease of deciding to join was related to confidence in one's genetic self-efficacy, limited concerns about genetic screening, trust in and lack of frustration using the website, and the ability to spend a limited time on the website. Understanding of study features was related to using the Internet more frequently and attaining more information about GeneScreen conditions. CONCLUSIONS: The ease of deciding to join a genomic screening study and comprehension of its key features should be treated as different phenomena in research and practice. There is a need for a more nuanced understanding of how individuals respond to web-based consent information.

A Dynamic Approach Toward Examining Telecommuting and Its Impacts on Other Daily Activities
Creators: name: Mohammadi, Motahare
Publisher: name: University of Illinois Chicago
Year: 2025

description: Telecommuting emerged with advancing technology, including personal computers, widespread internet access, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools This transition accelerated due to unforeseen events, most notably the COVID-19 pandemic, compelling rapid adaptations in organizations. At the same time, other ICT-related behaviors, like online shopping, also underwent transformation, resulting in significant changes in urban mobility patterns. This study conducts a comprehensive exploration of telecommuting behavior and its wide-ranging impacts on modern life. First, the study understands the future of telecommuting, particularly in the post-pandemic era, where COVID-19 is no longer a concern. We analyze how telecommuting preferences evolved during the pandemic when COVID-19 remained a threat, but risk perceptions potentially changed. We employed a panel Generalized Structural Equation Model (GSEM) utilizing data from nationwide surveys conducted in 2020 and 2021. This model examines the influence of two unobserved factors on telecommuting behavior: (1) the perception of risk related to COVID-19 exposure, and (2) perceived productivity while telecommuting. Second, this study investigates the frequency of telecommuting and its interrelationship with online shopping in the "new normal" post-pandemic era. Using data from a late 2021 survey, we developed a GSEM framework to understand the factors influencing decisions regarding telecommuting and online shopping frequency. These determinants include attitudes, perceptions, travel behaviors, and socio-demographic characteristics. Third, we aim to study the impact of telecommuting decisions on daily activity patterns. We aim to gain comprehensive insights into how telecommuting reshapes people’s day-to-day routines and activities including household responsibilities, leisure activities, and time allocation. The study explores broader changes in telecommuting trends since the onset of the pandemic. It assesses the frequency of telecommuting across different socio-demographic groups and compares individuals’ expectations for telecommuting frequency with their actual practices. This comprehensive examination not only contributes to academic knowledge but also provides practical insights for individuals, organizations, and policymakers navigating the evolving work and lifestyle dynamics in the post-pandemic era.

ESSAYS ON SEASONAL VARIATION IN FED CATTLE PROFITABILITY AND THE VALUE OF BEEF BULL ATTRIBUTES
Creators: name: Tang, Minfeng
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Agricultural economics

description: The first essay investigates if bull buyers’ marginal valuations of Angus bull attributes have changed over time using 17 years of bull auction data from Indiana. Results indicate statistically significant time effects on some traits (e.g., ribeye area, percent intermuscular fat, ribeye area expected progeny difference [EPD], and maternal milk EPD). Not all of these effects align with prior expectations. Nonetheless, results have important implications for the beef industry in terms of signaling quality ques and incorporating proven information in the form of EPDs.
The second essay identifies heterogeneity in bull buyer valuations of bull attributes across latent class using a FMM. Results indicate evidence that bull buyers have heterogeneous preferences for bull attributes. A three-class FMM is identified as providing the best view of bull buyer heterogeneity. Although results do not perfectly align with the bull buyer segments hypothesized, the end-use of claves produced does influence the latent class identified. These results have implications for beef industry as a whole for the improvement of beef products.
The third essay examines seasonal variation of fed cattle profitability by considering seasonality of choice-select price spread and seasonal weather impact on cattle feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Seasonality of choice-select price spread is empirically identified and is incorporated into the estimation and simulation of cattle feeding profitability. Results indicate that cattle profitability and variability are subject to the influence of both seasonal weather conditions and seasonality in choice-select price spread. Results could help producers make efficient management decisions through enhanced predictive capacity by using expected seasonal weather information and predicted seasonal price trend.
Industry-Situated STEM Labs: A Case Study of a Novel Application

description: Abstract: The purpose of this research was to understand: (1) the influence that an industry-situated STEM lab experience has on students’ (ages 10-18) perceptions of careers in manufacturing, and (2) the challenges and opportunities that this space presents. To answer these questions, this study analyzed participant pre- and post-draw a manufacturer tests as well as manufacturing career perception surveys that included Likert-scale items and open response questions. Along with these data sources, five semi-structured interviews were conducted with industry stakeholders in order to understand the conception and operation of the STEM lab, as well identify any challenges or opportunities to improve or replicate success for other industries. From there, the data were analyzed through thematic coding for the drawings, open-response questions, and interviews, and a Mann-Whitney U test was performed on the survey results in order to look for general shifts in responses to specific questions from before to after the STEM lab experience. The results gained from the three different data collection techniques were looked at in aggregate and used to triangulate specific understandings, questions, and recommendations. The results confirmed a lack of students’ awareness and understanding of manufacturing, misperceptions surrounding the careers within, and a disconnect between industry needs and educational output. Along with the data, literature on vocational psychology supports the need for students to participate in authentic learning opportunities to build self-efficacy and form more accurate outcome expectations with regards to future career selection. However, the data did reveal that the industry-situated STEM lab experience likely led the participants to an improved understanding of the manufacturing ecosystem and provided an opportunity for local educators to engage with industry. While this research looked at a novel application of a STEM lab and highlighted its influence on students’ perceptions of manufacturing careers, there is obviously no “silver bullet” for fixing the talent pipeline for manufacturing and continuous work in this area needs to be done.

description: Energy and demography are two key attributes of societies that form the foundation of how we understand culture and therefore culture change. In this dissertation, I explore the ways in which energy flow and expenditure shape the lives of past people to ask some key questions about how we represent energy in the past, what biological functions are prioritized and how do these priorities change during the adoption of agriculture, and where do people choose to live and why do they choose to stay there? I focus on the importance of data management and reuse and models built from them. I develop a global radiocarbon database that follow the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) guiding principle for data management. I develop robust data verification procedures and provide detailed guidance on data reuse and scale and type of questions for which the database is most appropriate. I then use this database to conduct a macroscale analysis on the adoption of agriculture and affiliated energetic changes in three large subregions: the US Midwest, the Desert Southwest, and the Upland Southwest. These three subregions had dramatically different needs to support the creation of a locally productive domesticate, including the investment of energy into the production of irrigation canals in the Desert, the importance of artificial selection for earlier flowering in maize in the Uplands, and the difficulty of developing the Eastern Agricultural Complex ad novo. I focus on the importance of individual metabolic rate when considering societal energy throughput and demography during a time when all three subregions are changing dramatically. Finally, I focus on the microscale with annual resolution data in the Central Mesa Verde region of Colorado, where I try to understand how changing conditions affect settlement persistence in both community centers and hamlets. In this dissertation, I therefore consider the ways in which changing scales necessarily change eligible and appropriate questions to ask, and the importance of answering questions with already available data.
Theoretical Modelling on Substrate Integrated Impedance Surfaces Incorporated on Leaky Wave Antenna

description: The operating frequency of electromagnetic devices, such as waveguides, cavities, resonators, and antennas, is generally determined by their physical dimensions. The purpose of this thesis is to propose a new concept of substrate-integrated impedance surface (SIIS), which is intended to enable the arbitrary control of the dimensions and operating cutoff frequency of electromagnetic waveguides, resonators, and antennas. In this study, we validate the effectiveness of loading a substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) with a capacitive SIIS (e.g., a blind-via array) to reduce its cutoff frequency. As a result, SIIS techniques may be useful in miniaturizing SIW-based components that operate at low frequencies. We adapt the non-local homogenization theory to build a solid approximation expression and derive an analytical model to assess and extract the surface capacitance of SIISs of different geometries using stochastic gradient descent (SGD) followed by the least square error (LSE) method to solve non-linear regression problems and fit exponential curves. To prove the concept, we conducted several experiments with SIIS-loaded SIWs set with different parameters to extract surface capacitance. As a result, we observe that the analytical and numerical results are in good agreement. Finally, we demonstrate that the capacitive SIIS incorporated with a half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) reconfigured as leaky wave antenna (LWA) expressed as HMSIW-LWA has the possibility to reconfigure and steer the radiation patterns. With the greatest hope, the research project findings may be of interest given the increasing importance of 5G millimeter-wave products and microwave quantum systems.

Data collection and assessment of climate change impacts on bat populations in Bulgaria

Subjects: classificationCode: 319902
subject: Global change biology

description: In addition to Bulgaria's existing national monitoring programme for cave-dwelling bats, we have developed guidelines, available in Bulgarian, which include a review of current issues alongside proposed measures to empower local conservationists to collect more comprehensive and consistent data on bat populations and climate-related threats. This structured approach will enhance our understanding of bats' conservation status, both on European and national levels, enabling more precise and effective conservation strategies. Ultimately, these efforts could contribute to understanding the long-term effects of climate change on bat populations in Bulgaria.
title: Unspectacular Events: Researching vulnerability through the
localised and particular
Creators: name: Page, Tiffany
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London

Subjects: subject: Vulnerability, self-immolation, ethics, transnational research, methodology, uncertainty, time, refugee, event

description: This thesis investigates vulnerability as a concept and as a methodological practice, using a localised
analysis as a feminist methodological approach. Drawing from archival texts in the form of media
reports published online between 2014 and 2015, it provides an in-depth case study analysis of two
individuals who set fire to their bodies, or what is commonly referred to as self-immolation. These are
the stories of Leorsin Seemanpillai, a Sri Lankan man who sought asylum in Australia in 2013, and
Mariam al-Khawli, a Syrian woman who along with her husband and four children registered as
refugees in Lebanon in 2012 after the civil war began in Syria. The tensions in modes of telling stories
and challenges in cross-cultural scholarship led me to outline the core components of a vulnerable
methodology. This involves discussing what it might mean to explicate and recognise vulnerability in
writing.

The thesis works with the tension of vulnerability being a universal condition, and the way it is
differentially experienced and distributed across particular bodies. As a response, it proposes
examining elements or qualities of vulnerability that might emerge as people make lives within located
contexts and conditions through altering spatial and temporal registers. This approach focuses on the
everyday activities of Seemanpillai and Khawli and situates these alongside, rather than in response
to, macro level political systems. By doing so the terms of other elements of subjectivity—agency,
intention and action—become unstable. As means to examine this, the thesis proposes the concept of
“micro events” to distinguish the space, time and pace of activities drawn out through a longer arc of
time. This thesis argues that micro events help to illustrate how elements of vulnerability are
interwoven into the textures and materiality of the event’s context and conditions, and the ways in
which individuals live within both spectacular and unspectacular, ongoing temporalities.
Predicting Delays In Delivery Process Using Machine Learning-Based Approach

description: There has been a great interest in applying Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI-related technologies in recent years. Industries are adopting these technologies very rapidly, which has enabled them to gather valuable data about their businesses. One such industry that can leverage this data to improve their business's output and quality is the logistics and transport industry. This phenomenon provides an excellent opportunity for companies who rely heavily on air transportation to leverage this data to gain valuable insights and improve their business operations. This thesis is aimed to leverage this data to develop techniques to model complex business processes and design a machine learning-based predictive analytical approach to predict process violations.This thesis focused on solving delays in shipment delivery by modeling a prediction technique to predict these delays. The approach presented here was based on real airfreight shipping data, which follows the International Air and Transport Association industry standard for airfreight transportation, to identify shipments at risk of being delayed. By leveraging the shipment process structure, this research presented a new approach that solved the complex event-driven structure of airfreight data that made it difficult to model for predictive analytics.By applying different data mining and machine learning techniques, prediction techniques were developed to predict delays in delivering airfreight shipments. The prediction techniques were based on random forest and gradient boosting algorithms. To compare and select the best model, the prediction results were interpreted in the form of six confusion matrix-based performance metrics. The results showed that all the predictors had a high specificity of over 90%, but the sensitivity was low, under 44%. Accuracy was observed to be over 75%, and a geometric mean was between 58% – 64%.The performance metrics results provided evidence that our approach could be implemented to develop a prediction technique to model complex business processes. Additionally, an early prediction method was designed to test predictors' performance if complete process information was not available. This proposed method delivered compelling evidence suggesting that early prediction can be achieved without compromising the predictor’s performance.
