description: We aimed to develop a tool that would allow assessment of ethics competency and moral distress during the Internal Medicine Clerkship and to introduce curricular changes that could empower students to better address ethical dilemmas and challenges encountered during the clerkship. A structured ethics assignment was introduced where students could reflect on impactful stressful scenarios and address questions related to emotional responses, identified ethical issues, management themes, and professional obligations. A 4-tiered grading rubric and individual narrative feedback was provided for each assignment, and small-group debriefing sessions were introduced for reflective thought and future planning. De-identified assignments were analyzed and classified into subgroups according to 5 main ethical issue subgroups and 10 specific management themes. Assignments were also analyzed for the presence of moral distress. 357 students completed the reflective ethics activities. The most commonly identified ethical issues were related to Shared Medical Decision Making (>40%), Primary of Patient Welfare challenges, (>20%), and Social/Organizational dilemmas. Management themes often pertained to Patient Wishes/Legal Obligations, Professional Behaviors, and Limited Resources. 87% of assignments demonstrated moral distress. Medical school is a stressful time and challenges are augmented during clinical years. Our reflective activity demonstrated significant exposures to ethical dilemmas, reviewed earlier principles of ethics training, and provided a safe forum in which to discuss these important aspects of healthcare. We captured powerful images of challenging situations eliciting moral distress, and students greatly appreciated the activity. We encourage future investigations that support student well-being and enable smooth transitions into residency training.

description: Medical students often engage with a range of extracurricular activities (ECAs) including academic activities such as research projects, peer teaching and curriculum development projects. Studies have reported the benefits of academic ECAs including the development of social and leadership skills; higher retention rates; heightened self-confidence; peer bonding; improved satisfaction; and greater postgraduate success. However, not all students are equally positioned to take advantage of such opportunities. This paper presents twelve tips to facilitate the development of equitable academic ECAs. By considering the advice offered, faculty should be able to implement ECA opportunities that are open to all interested students.

description: With limited means, resource-deprived countries must find ways to organize education to meet standards. Few reports exist about anatomical education in LLMICs. This study explores how anatomy teaching is sustained in countries with few resources and which affordable educational strategies are applied to uphold quality. A mixed-methods study with anatomy teachers from public medical schools in low or lower-middle income countries (LLMICs) in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin-American was performed through survey via email combined with semi-structured online interview with teachers, exploring survey results at a deeper level. LLMICs available to be surveyed, 13 and 8 were found to respond to a written survey and oral interview invitation, face significant teaching challenges, primarily due to lack of funds. These are faculty shortages (low salaries and high student-to-teacher ratio) and inadequate infrastructure (internet, electricity, poor classroom conditions). Solutions were associated with didactic strategies (social media, e-learning, image-based learning, applied anatomy), expanding teaching capacity with less qualified and part-time faculty, student-organized education, and self-financing (teaching resources subsidized by teachers and students). Which was triking was teacher commitment despite difficult circumstances. Teachers propose better faculty management, increased anatomy staff recruitment, and collaboration with other institutions. Anatomical education in LLMIC is forced to adapt to the socio-economic context, rather than to trends in medical education worldwide. These adaptations are supported mainly by the teachers ‘commitment.’

description: Increasing the price of cheap alcohol, such as through excise taxes or minimum pricing schemes, is an important tool in a package of measures that governments can use to reduce alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm. This report investigates trends over time in alcohol prices and affordability in New Zealand to inform government policy and decision making on the price of alcohol for sale in New Zealand.The report shows that alcohol has become more affordable in New Zealand, due to incomes increasing more than alcohol prices. It now takes a very short amount of time for an average worker to earn enough to buy sufficient alcohol to put themselves (and others) at risk of injury and harm. The Health Promotion Agency’s low-risk drinking advice recommends no more than five standard drinks on any single drinking occasion for men, and no more than four standard drinks for women, to reduce the risk of injury. In 2017, it would take just over 10 minutes for an average worker to earn enough to buy six standard drinks of the cheapest advertised alcohol (and exceed the low-risk drinking advice for both men and women).New Zealand and international evidence has found that lower prices of alcohol are associated with heavy drinking and that heavy drinkers are more likely to drink cheaper alcohol. Addressing alcohol affordability through alcohol pricing policies would reduce alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm. Any such policies need to account for increases in incomes, and increases in alcohol affordability, to have maximum impact.A poster summary of the findings is also available.

description: Whether as an application on our tablets (such as an I-pad or an Android device) or as a single application piece of hardware such as a (Nook or Kindle), the handheld digital reading device is quickly becoming a fixture in contemporary life. It is not only changing the way in which books are bought and sold, but it is changing the nature of what it is to read and how our knowledge is constructed. Drawing on Walter Ong’s theories of secondary orality (2002) and McLuhan’s concepts of technologies as extensions of particular faculties with trade-offs in other areas (McLuhan, 1964), this paper argues that the handheld digital reader is not only a device which allows for reading of books, but it is also a rhetorical device. In order to accomplish this, the paper demonstrates that the handheld digital reader came as a response to a deviance amplifying rhetorical situation (Bitzer, 1968) brought on by the advent of easy duplication and a dwindling readership. This paper shows that the handheld digital reader functions as a social intervention (Brown, 1978; Opt & Gring, 2009) creating an attention shift (Brown W. R., 1982) which initially alters one’s epistemology, but with ontological and axiological repercussions. Finally, the paper discusses the potential ramifications of a rhetorical future populated by people whose worldviews have been heavily influenced by the inherent rhetoric of the handheld digital reading device and advising changes in rhetorical theory and practice which will have to be considered in light of these changes.

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Recent advancements in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in processing diverse data types, yet significant disparities persist between human cognitive processes and computational approaches to multimodal information integration. This research presents a systematic investigation into the parallels between human cross-modal chunking mechanisms and token representation methodologies in MLLMs. Through empirical studies comparing human performance patterns with model behaviors across visual-linguistic tasks, we demonstrate that conventional static tokenization schemes fundamentally constrain current models' capacity to simulate the dynamic, context-sensitive nature of human information processing. We propose a novel framework for dynamic cross-modal tokenization that incorporates adaptive boundaries, hierarchical representations, and alignment mechanisms grounded in cognitive science principles. Quantitative evaluations demonstrate that our approach yields statistically significant improvements over state-of-the-art models on benchmark tasks (+7.8% on Visual Question Answering, +5.3% on Complex Scene Description) while exhibiting more human-aligned error patterns and attention distributions. These findings contribute to the theoretical understanding of the relationship between human cognition and artificial intelligence, while providing empirical evidence for developing more cognitively plausible AI systems.

description: Digital games are an increasingly prominent media form but are consistently ignored in critical communication scholarship. Several voices in the field of game studies have advocated the application of communication and rhetorical theory to the study of games, but this effort to cross-pollinate game studies and communication studies has not been reciprocated. This article addresses this lacunae, making the case for critical studies of communication to take up the study of digital games. I argue that digital games are both ready objects of inquiry well-suited for rhetorical methods and generative sites with the potential to stimulate thinking about communication processes in general and rhetoric in particular.

description: Interest in institutional complexity has again gained momentum with the rise of the institutional logics approach. In this paper we argue that the literature has developed a rather narrow perspective on institutional complexity. It is limited in at least two ways: In a very general way, it is reduced to “organiza-tional responses” and in addition only perceives complexity as a problem. We argue that a more precise perspective on institutional complexity can help to illuminate important aspects of the relation between organizations and their environment.

description: Since the diffusion of the punched card tabulator following the 1890 U.S. Census, mass-scale information processing has been alternately a site of opportunity, ambivalence and fear in the American imagination. While large bureaucracies have tended to deploy database technology toward purposes of surveillance and control, the rise of personal computing made databases accessible to individuals and small businesses for the first time. Today, the massive collection of trace communication data by public and private institutions has renewed popular anxiety about the role of the database in society. This essay traces the social history of database technology across three periods that represent significant changes in the accessibility and infrastructure of information processing systems. Although many proposed uses of "big data" seem to threaten individual privacy, a largely-forgotten database populism from the 1970s and 1980s suggests that a reclamation of small-scale data processing might lead to sharper popular critique in the future.
Slides for:   Nuclear Tension Equilibrium under Dual Pressure Fields and Electron Spiral Recoil Effect
Creators: name: Xiong, Nanqi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper proposes a new structural model for atomic nuclei, suggesting that the nucleus exists under a dynamic equilibrium between two distinct pressure sources: the uniform background pressure generated by the Higgs field and the localized compressive pressure from the electron cloud. Furthermore, it introduces the concept that the electron cloud may form a Fermat spiral tension distribution, producing a local tension recoil effect analogous to the gravitational behavior near a black hole event horizon. Together, these effects explain nuclear stability, internal tension gradients, and suggest new perspectives on atomic structure dynamics.

It represents an attempt to get “behind the veil of the machine” (Sekiguchi/Inami/Tachi 2001, about their RobotPHONE prototype which uses a similar concept) in that it is supposed to act as a solid substitute for a dialog partner through evoking a feeling of presence (sonzaikan in Japanese philosophy, the feeling that someone is sharing the same physical space). In such undertakings, specific utopian ideals of communication become apparent. Paradoxically, the high-tech developments aim at constituting seemingly immediate interactions, preferably bypassing any potentially troublesome interface. The existence of a phantasm of immediacy (Bolter/Grusin 2000) can be traced back to decisive moments in media history and belongs to the central promises of new technological interfaces. Interestingly, the engineers’ statements reveal a latent technophobia, an ambition to overcome the limitations of physical devices altogether and to move on to more direct means of communicative exchange (including the mythical dimension of telepathy). Two questions are of particular concern: 1. On what different levels does the notion of immediacy operate? Not only does it refer to a spiritual ideal of unmediated communion, but it also influences practical decisions in interface design. “Natural” and “Tangible” User Interfaces are the result of a practice of disguise in that they mask their factual hypermediacy to allow for a seamless knotting up of real and mediated environments. 2. What is the relationship between media and the immediate? The concept of immediacy has so far been met with an almost univocal intellectualist disdain on the part of media theorists. The reason for this rejection is simple enough: If one takes ideas of immediacy serious, the self-image of a whole field of study is called into question. The paper thus attempts to provide a contribution to the question of how media build on notions of immediacy. Any theoretical attempt at describing their operations should take into account the intricate relationship between media and the immediate.

description: Literally speaking, e-waste is the future of communications. E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world, much of it communications technologies from cell phones to laptops, televisions to peripherals. As a result of policies of planned obsolescence working computers, cell phones, and tablets are routinely trashed. One of the most powerful and enduring discourses associated with emerging technologies is the technological sublime, in which technology is seen as intellectually, emotionally, or spiritually transcendent. It comprises a contradictory impulse that elevates technology with an almost religious fervor, while simultaneously overlooking some of the consequences of industrialism, as well as ignoring the necessity of social, economic, and governmental infrastructures necessary to the implementation and development of new technologies. The idea that a new technology will not pollute or harm the environment is a persistent, though often quickly passed over, theme in the technological sublime, echoed in discourses about emerging technologies such as the silicon chip, the internet, and other ICTs. In this paper, I make connections between the discourse of newness, the practice of planned obsolescence, and the mountains of trashed components and devices globally. Considering the global context demonstrates the realities of the penetration of ICTs and their enduring pollution and negative implications for the health of humans and nonhumans, including plants, animals, waterways, soil, air and so on. I use the discourse of the technological sublime to open up and consider the future of communications, to argue that this discourse not only stays with us but also contains within it two important and related components, the promise of ecological harmony and a future orientation. I argue that these lingering elements keep us from considering the real future of communications – e-waste – and that, as communications scholars, we must also engage with waste management literature and practices if we take the future of communications seriously.

description: The concept of verification is commonly associated with verifying sources in journalism, Open-Source Intelligence, digital forensics, and various digital research methods. In this context, I introduce 'media of verification' as an epistemological framework that encompasses a variety of practices. Through the examination of examples, I elaborate on four modalities: verification in media, apparatuses of verification, verification as consensus-making, and infrastructures of verification. Verification in media involves the pre-reportage verification of sources in journalism. Apparatuses of verification are devices designed to validate authenticity. Verification as consensus-making encompasses decision-making processes, such as negotiations, debt registers, and bookkeeping. Infrastructures of verification pertain to authentication media like certificates, batches, and other mechanisms ensuring the integrity of goods, documents, data, currencies, and sensitive information. I show that different phenomena, practices, and techniques bridging the digital and physical realms are indeed part of the same epistemological framework I call 'media of verification.'
