Teaching at the Tension Points: The Ethical Challenges of International Experiential Learning
Creators: name: Dwyer, Leslie
name: Castel, Alison
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2013
Subjects: experiential learning; global learning; classroom management

description: This 40-minute presentation will discuss the ethical challenges of international experiential learning programs. It will draw on the authorsâ€™ experiences developing the Indonesian Institute for Social Sciences and Human Rights, a program that brings U.S. and Indonesian students together to work in collaborative partnerships learning about ethnographic methods and their relationship to social justice work. Located in Jogjakarta, Java, Indonesia, the program asks students to consider the epistemologies and ethics of collaborative research methodologies. Moving beyond traditional study abroad practices that position Indonesian students and scholars as sources of local â€œdataâ€ to be extracted for the academic empowerment of their cosmopolitan visiting counterparts, this program opens a valuable space for students to not only question issues of culture and method, but to reflect upon their participation in global regimes of knowledge production. At the same time, by intentionally highlighting the fault lines that mark cultural, national and disciplinary boundaries, the program reliably generates high levels of personal anxiety and community conflict among students, demanding innovative pedagogical strategies for transforming tension into productive learning and dialogue. In this presentation, we will not arrive at a fixed set of ethics for international experiential learning, rather we will explore ethics as a space of ongoing inquiry and engagement. We anticipate that this presentation will be of interest to faculty, staff and students from a range of disciplines who are designing and engaging in international experiential learning programs.

description: This article analyzes how the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has affected the privacy practices of FinTech ﬁrms. We study the content of 276 privacy statements respectively before and after the GDPR became binding. Using text analysis methods, we ﬁnd that the readability of the privacy statements has decreased. The texts of privacy statements have become longer and use more standardized language, resulting in worse user comprehension. This calls into question whether the GDPR has achieved its original goal—the protection of natural persons regarding the transparent processing of personal data. We also link the content of the privacy statements to FinTech-speciﬁc determinants. Before the GDPR became binding, more external investors and a higher legal capital were related to a higher quantity of data processed and more transparency, but not thereafter. Finally, we document mimicking behavior among FinTech industry peers with regard to the data processed and transparency.

description: Automated Short Answer Scoring (SAS) is the task of automatically scoring a given input to a prompt based on rubrics and reference answers. Although SAS is useful in real-world applications, both rubrics and reference answers differ between prompts, thus requiring a need to acquire new data and train a model for each new prompt. Such requirements are costly, especially for schools and online courses where resources are limited and only a few prompts are used. In this work, we attempt to reduce this cost through a two-phase approach: train a model on existing rubrics and answers with gold score signals and finetune it on a new prompt. Specifically, given that scoring rubrics and reference answers differ for each prompt, we utilize key phrases, or representative expressions that the answer should contain to increase scores, and train a SAS model to learn the relationship between key phrases and answers using already annotated prompts (i.e., cross-prompts). Our experimental results show that finetuning on existing cross-prompt data with key phrases significantly improves scoring accuracy, especially when the training data is limited. Finally, our extensive analysis shows that it is crucial to design the model so that it can learn the task's general property.

title: “Warmth, Sympathy and Understanding May Outweigh the Surgeon’s Knife or the Chemist’s Drug”…Unless They’re Fat. An Analysis of Fat Patients’ Experiences with Health Care Providers

subject: Weight stigma
subject: Fatphobia

description: Dominant medical discourse of fatness primarily focuses on weight and weight loss as a means to achieve health, rather than focusing on overall wellbeing and implementing healthy behaviors without weight loss as a central pillar. The United States has seen a 66% increase in weight stigma since 1995 (Puhl, Andreyeva, & Brownell, 2008). Unfortunately, the prevalence of weight stigmas amongst health care providers occurs at the same rate as the general public (Pantenburg et al., 2012). Fat women are especially prone to weight shaming by doctors. Doctors shame patients, refuse to treat them for the symptoms presented, and generally view the patients as not worthy of their time. The pervasive negative attitudes in the biomedical community has perhaps an unintended consequence: it actually motivates the fat person to avoid interacting with health professionals at any cost. Though there are a plethora of studies confirming weight biases amongst medical providers, there is very little research exploring fat women’s experiences with health care providers and the consequences of medical fat phobia. This is an intersectional feminist study examining how the medicalization of fatness and fat phobia intersect in the treatment of fat patients, and how it impacts the care fat women receive. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with women who have been classified by a medical professional as overweight or obese. These women experienced malpractice, fat shaming, and physical anti-fat messages when seeking health care. This study highlights the critical need to change the way health care providers view, treat, and understand fat patients.
Anonymization of Voices in Spaces for Civic Dialogue: Measuring Impact on Empathy, Trust, and Feeling Heard

description: Anonymity is a powerful component of many participatory media platforms that can afford people greater freedom of expression and protection from external coercion and interference. However, it can be difficult to effectively implement on platforms that leverage spoken language due to distinct biomarkers present in the human voice. In this work, we explore the use of voice anonymization methods within the context of a technology-enhanced civic dialogue network based in the United States, whose purpose is to increase feelings of agency and being heard within civic processes. Specifically, we investigate the use of two different speech transformation and synthesis methods for anonymization: voice conversion (VC) and text-to-speech (TTS). Through a series of two studies, we examine the impact that each method has on 1) the empathy and trust that listeners feel towards a person sharing a personal story, and 2) a speaker's own perception of being heard, finding that voice conversion is an especially suitable method for our purposes. Our findings open up interesting potential research directions related to anonymous spoken discourse, as well as additional ways of engaging with voice-based civic technologies.

description: Shigellosis is a major public health burden in India and its neighboring countries due to infection of Shigella species. The current study was attempted to investigate the effect of biofield treatment on Shigella flexneri (S. flexneri) with respect of antimicrobial susceptibility assay, biochemical characteristics and biotyping. The American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 9199) strain of S. flexneri was used in this experiment. The study was conducted in revived and lyophilized state of S. flexneri. Both revived (Group; Gr. II) and lyophilized (Gr. III) strain of S. flexneri were subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. Gr. II was assessed on day 5 and day 10, while Gr. III on day 10 after biofield treatment with respect to control (Gr. I). The antimicrobial susceptibility of S. flexneri showed 35% alteration in Gr. II on day 10 while no alteration were observed on day 5 (Gr. II) and in Gr. III as compared to control. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of biofield treated S. flexneri also showed significant (46.88%) alteration in Gr. II on day 10 while no alteration were observed on day 5 (Gr. II) and in Gr. III as compared to control. It was observed that overall 24.24% biochemical reactions were altered in which 21.21% alteration was found in Gr. II on day 10 with respect to control. Moreover, biotype number was changed in Gr. II on day 10 with identification of new organism i.e. Edwardsiella tarda (40015042) as compared to untreated strain of Shigella species (40010000). The result suggested that biofield treatment has significant impact on S. flexneri in revived treated cells (Gr. II) on day 10 with respect to antimicrobial susceptibility, MIC, biochemical reactions pattern and biotyping.

description: This thesis examines the little-explored genre of the occupational daguerreotype portrait in antebellum America as a means of self-representation and as an individual’s assertion of worthy acceptance in the middle-class. It simultaneously explores the social and economic conditions under which the photographic medium was introduced to American society, arguing that middle-class standards of respectable self-representation directly influenced the portraits of citizens, especially working-class workers, as they chose to demonstrate pride in their labor. More important, antebellum skilled artisans, in choosing to represent themselves with the “tools of their trade,” demonstrated that labor was fundamental to their individual identity and the identity of the nation as a whole.

description: Anxieties abound regarding the ostensible obsolescence of the book. Exploring whether the book is in fact becoming obsolete — and what it might mean if it were — requires thinking distinctly about the specific material form of the book (the codex) and about the content that it has long carried. If the form were to change — becoming digital, for instance — would our interactions with the content still make the book (if not exactly as we have known it) a viable vector for the cultural interactions the codex has supported? Would it be possible for us to find the powerful identification with the electronic book that we long have had with the codex book? And what might need to happen in order to effect such a transfer of our affections?

Affecting hundreds of thousands of victims in the US, it emerged as a federal priority, with the Department of Justice (DOJ). We defined capacity building as establishing understanding and enabling skills to assist excluded individuals participate more effectively in their communities (Henderson & Thomas, 2004; Payne, 2005).We adopted the five-component definition of capacity building developed by Glickman and Servon (1998) that analyzes the organization’s resource, internal, programmatic, network and political capacities. Using a qualitative approach, we determined whether enhanced organizational capacity in addressing this vulnerable population occurred.

Calls to and from a mobile phone must be transmitted to or from an elevated antenna within the phone’s range. The exploding demand for wireless phones in Fairfax County has engendered urgent pressure for the erection of ever more transmission towers (called monopoles). In 1996, wireless subsidiaries of Bell Atlantic and AT&T concluded lease agreements with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) permitting the erection of 30 monopoles on VDOT property within Fairfax County. As part of their rent, the private companies agreed to purchase and install on the towers, for VDOT’s use, equipment for televised traffic monitoring, radio advisories, and emergency call boxes.

description: Streptococcus agalactiae group B (S. agalactiae gr. B) is widespread in nature mainly causes bacterial septicemia and neonatal meningitis. The current study was attempted to investigate the effect of biofield treatment on S. agalactiae gr. B with respect of antimicrobial sensitivity, biochemical reactions and bio typing. S. agalactiae gr. B strain was used in this experiment bearing the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 12386) number and stored according to the recommended storage protocol. The revived and lyophilized state of ATCC strains of S. agalactiae gr. B were selected for the study. Gr. I was considered as control. Both revived (Group; Gr. II) and lyophilized (Gr. III) strains of S. agalactiae gr. B were subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment. Gr. II was assessed on day 5 and day 10 while Gr. III on day 10 with respect to the control (Gr. I) using MicroScan Walk-Away® system. Although biofield treatment did not show any change with respect to susceptibility pattern. However the minimum inhibitory concentration of S. agalactiae gr. B showed significant (70.37%) alteration, out of twenty-seven tested antimicrobials, among which in Gr. II i.e. 62.96% on day 5 and 66.67% on day 10 while no alteration was found in lyophilized group (Gr. III) as compared to the control. Moreover, the improvement of MIC value of norfloxacin was observed by two-fold (8 to ≤4 μg/mL) in Gr. II on day 10 after biofield energy treatment as compared to the control. It was observed that overall 48.28% biochemical reactions, out of twenty-nine were altered in Gr. II with respect to the control. Moreover, biotype numbers were changed in Gr. II on day 5 (777777615) and on day 10 (757677405) as compared to the control (237147047). The results suggest that biofield treatment has significant impact on S. agalactiae gr. B in revived treated cells (Gr. II) with respect to MIC values, biochemical reactions pattern and biotype number.

description: We present proper genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) measures for arbitrary multipartite and dimensional systems. By using the volume of concurrence regular polygonal pyramid we first derive the GME measure of four-partite quantum systems. From our measure it is verified that the GHZ state is more entangled than the W state. Then we study the GME measure for multipartite quantum states in arbitrary dimensions. A well defined GME measure is constructed based on the volume of the concurrence regular polygonal pyramid. Detailed example shows that our measure can characterize better the genuine multipartite entanglements.

description: Many standard cryptographic functions are designed to benefit from hardware specific implementations. As a result, there have been a large number of highly efficient ASIC and FPGA hardware based implementations of standard cryptographic functions. Previously, hardware accelerated devices were only available to a limited set of users. General Purpose Graphic Processing Units (GPGPUs) have become a standard consumer item and have demonstrated orders of magnitude performance improvements for general purpose computation, including cryptographic functions. This paper reviews the current and future trends in GPU technology, and examines its potential impact on current cryptographic practices.

description: In this thesis I examine the nation state’s place in the formulation and understanding of global income inequality. The literature is very conflicted on the directional relationship between neoliberal economic globalization and income inequality. I theorize that current measurements of inequality, which use countries as “units” of measurement, are insufficient. A subnational analysis of inequality shows varied rises and falls in inequality across a national space. The varied directional impacts of neoliberal economic globalization on income inequality in this paper helps to shed light on why there is so much conflict in the literature. I further argue that future analyses of income inequality should move beyond the state as a unit of analysis so that the true impacts of decentralized economic policies, government programs, and the overall effects of globalization can be understood by states, policy makers, and nongovernmental organizations.

description: n his address at the Madrid Peace Conference, the Head of the Palestinian Delegation, Dr Haidar Abdul-Shafi challenged the persistent myth that has defined Palestinian existence for at least a century by saying: “For too long the Palestinian people have gone unheeded, silenced […] we have been victimized by the myth of ‘a land without a people’” (Abd Al-Shafi, 1992: 133). Negation coupled with the trauma of the loss of territory has augmented the Palestinian silence. In this article, I look at Mahmoud Darwish’s Journal of an Ordinary Grief (2010) and In the Presence of Absence (2011), drawing on Edward W. Said’s After the Last Sky (1999), in which the authors recount the untold story of their marginalized people to give voice to the silenced through accounts of a lived and observed experience.
The risk factors associated with suicidality in the perinatal period: A systematic review [preprint]

description: Background: The perinatal period is a public health priority due to rising maternal mortality, with suicide being a leading cause. Suicidality, including suicidal thoughts, plans, or attempts, has increased in both low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and high-income countries. Maternal suicidality poses risks to both mothers and children. Research on maternal suicidality is fragmented, with prior reviews focused on the prevalence of suicidality. This systematic review aims to explore the complex factors contributing to perinatal suicidality.

Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review was conducted using the SPiDER framework across PubMed, CINAHL, and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection databases. Studies were included if they presented data on factors contributing to perinatal suicidality and published from 2018 onwards. Data analysis was conducted using narrative synthesis.

Results: This systematic review analysed 18 studies on perinatal suicidality. Women experiencing depression were 2.16 to 16 times more likely to experience suicidality, with postnatal depression posing a higher risk. Anxiety increased the risk by 3 to 4 times, while fetal loss raised it by 2.1 to 5.2 times. Single women faced 1.53 to 5.69 times higher odds of suicidality, and those experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) had 1.81 to 7.60 times higher odds. Childhood abuse, substance use, and socioeconomic vulnerability also contributed to increased risk.

Discussion: Research on perinatal suicidality emphasizes psychosocial risk factors, while cognitive aspects remain underexplored. It is important to assess suicidality in pregnant women independently of depression, as many women with suicidal ideation (SI) do not have depression or anxiety. The transition from SI to action remains complex, requiring further research. Limitations in current studies include cross-sectional designs and suboptimal measurement tools.

Conclusion: Depression, anxiety, relationship status, IPV and socioeconomic status are risk factors for perinatal suicidality.  Further research is needed to explore the transition from SI to action, improving screening tools, evaluating screening effectiveness during pregnancy, and exploring risk factors for specific groups such as women with a diagnosis of HIV.

description: Ample amounts of literature have demonstrated the practicality of functionalizing DNA origami with aptamers—single-stranded DNA or RNA target-specific ligands with similar binding affinities to monoclonal antibodies—to effectively target and treat a wide range of malignancies. When functionalizing origami with aptamers, the current method relies on the use of staple strands that can be used to hybridize the aptamer of choice modified with a complementary sequence or modified with overhangs bearing the aptamer sequences. These approaches require additional steps during both the computational design and in vitro synthesis stage and limits our capacity of functionalization. Herein, we provide a novel technique that overcomes these additional steps while allowing for the functionalization of origami with aptamers. We demonstrate by simply designing single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) aptamer “loops”, we are able to introduce aptamers at precise locations within the scaffold sequence while retaining target binding without the need to employ modified staples. Through the use of agarose gel electrophoresis, we were able to show the characterization of two structures—a 42 bp edge 2-Dimensional triangle and 3-Dimensional tetrahedron—presenting the well-studied thrombin 29-mer and AS1411 26-mer nucleolin aptamer. After exposing thrombin to our origami-aptamer modified constructs, we observed each structure had the ability to effectively bind to thrombin. Our new sequence-aptamer functionalization technique may pave the way for simple design of readily functionalized DNA origami nanoparticles for a wide range of fields including diagnostic and therapeutic-related research.

description: The English Department at U.C. Berkeley has developed two multimedia humanities websites at “Shakespeare’s Staging” and “Milton Revealed,” illustrating classic rewards and problems in digital humanities programs. Users are uniformly positive about the simple, selective, and fully organized structure. Visits are numerous, averaging 200-400 page visits daily to each site, but often rising to a thousand or more at such times as exam preparation. In ten years the Shakespeare site accumulated over one million visits, and in two years the Milton site has reached over 100,000 visits annually. We are fortunate to access a vast amount of expert material, bibliographies, stills, and video, all developed by site participants, materials that had generated considerable applicable funding, but were clear of copyright issues. As the sites developed, other sources of material became more generous in permitting educational use freely. Technical support was available on campus.

description: This thesis is a novel about Leda, a young woman who inherits a journal written by her earliest known ancestor, a former American slave who fought on the side of the British during the American Revolutionary War, and what she determines to do with the information she uncovers. As Leda discovers the history behind secret recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation, she learns about John Cranwell who wrote extensively about his own history and about a people forced to eat inferior foods “scraps from the master’s table.” After Leda embarks on a journey to America to determine what happened to the brother John Cranwell left behind, she discovers that over two hundred years later, black people in the south continue to eat the scraps. Leda learns even more about herself as she prepares to embrace her long lost relatives. The problem is that they are nothing like her. Will they be willing to accept her and this aspect of their past?
Ugly Bodies, Pretty Bodies Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies and the Inhumanity of Culture
Creators: name: Salter, Anastasia
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Young adult literature

description: Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies imagines a society where the body is under total control and the universal beauty of the body after dramatic reconstructive surgery at sixteen guarantees that everyone will be “equal.” To the young adult readership, such a world holds understandable appeal: the idea of avoiding the pains of coming to age in one’s own body is a tempting one. The utopian construct of a society where all difference, and thus all conflict, is erased is a popular social fantasy. But Westerfeld offers his audience more than a vision of a status-less utopia: he offers insight into what might come of humanity losing its connection to its own bodies. His world of Pretties is truly one where beauty is only skin-deep, and all the beautiful creations of culture have been abandoned for a new world of instant gratification and meaningless social relationships.

description: Shigella sonnei (S. sonnei) is a non-motile, rod shape, clinically significant, Gram-negative bacterium. It is commonly associated with dysentery (shigellosis). Recently, resistance to third and fourth generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones has been reported in S. sonnei. In the present study, we assessed the effect of biofield treatment on phenotyping and genotyping characteristic of S. sonnei (ATCC 9290). The lyophilized samples of S. sonnei were divided in three groups (G): G-I (control, revived), G-II (treatment, revived), and G-III (treatment, lyophilized). All these groups (control and biofield treated) were analyzed against antimicrobial susceptibility, biochemical reactions, and biotype number. The 16S rDNA sequencing was carried out to establish the phylogenetic relationship of S. sonnei with different bacterial species. The treated cells of S. sonnei exhibited an alteration of 3.33%, 10%, and 23.33% of total 30 tested antimicrobials in susceptibility assay for G-II on day 5 and 10 and G-III on day 10, respectively as compared to control. The treated cells of S. sonnei showed a significant change of about 12.12%, 12.12%, and 57.58% biochemical reactions out of 33 tests in treated groups of G-II on day 5 and 10 and G-III on day 10, respectively. The biotype number was also changed in treated samples of S. sonnei. Based on nucleotide homology sequences and phylogenetic analysis, the nearest homolog species of S. sonnei (GenBank Accession Number: EU009190) was identified as Shigella flexneri (EF643608). These results revealed that biofield treatment can prevent the absolute resistance in microbe against the existing antimicrobials.

A story of ethnic people in an oil refinery town in NW Indiana.
Comments are most welcome. This is part of a series of stories based in the industrial part of Chicago's Indiana suburbs.

I am also placing the story in the Shakespeare group because--after all--it is a Romeo and Juliet story. "Rich and Strange' should need no explanation to those in Shakespeare group. This is a line from a song in _The Tempest_.

Thanks, Gloria McMillan
