The Midas Touch: Atuahene's "Stategraft" And Unregulated Artificial Intelligence, Sonia Gipson Rankin

Faculty Scholarship

Professor Bernadette Atuahene’s article, A Theory of Stategraft, develops the new theoretical conception of “stategraft.” Professor Atuahene notes that when state agents have engaged in practices of transferring property from persons to the state in violation of the state’s own laws or basic human rights, it sits at the nexus of illegal behavior and revenue-generating activity for the government. Although there are countless instances of “stategraft,” one particularly salient example is when the state uses artificial intelligence to illegally extract resources from people. This Essay will apply stategraft to an algorithm implemented in Michigan that falsely accused recipients of unemployment …

Essays On The Economics Of Grid Modernization, Jesse Kaczmarski

Economics ETDs

I present three chapters on the economics of grid modernization. The first chapter examines the consumer acceptance of community microgrid services. In this chapter I present the results of a split-sample contingent valuation experiment in which electric bill payers across Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah are asked about the willingness-to-pay for the installation of a community microgrid contingent on costs and benefits. In the second chapter, I examine the role of contractual hydropower receipts in the fuel mix for a medium size power authority in Colorado. I show that hydropower offsets fossil fuel generation sources and contribute to reductions …

It's Harder Than It Looks: How Students Identify Original Research Articles In An Undergraduate Biology Course, Alyssa Russo, Amy Jankowski

University Libraries & Learning Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

Biology students must develop a foundational understanding about the role information plays in the scientific research process. Key to this is understanding that original research articles are the primary method of communicating findings from original scientific research. We analyzed data from an information literacy tutorial and worksheet integrated in a core undergraduate biology course to investigate how students identify original research articles. Our results suggest that students conceptually comprehend original research, but they need practice at identifying original research articles in real time and benefit from librarian feedback when they are actively searching for and selecting articles.

Saved Babies, Dead Doctors: Settler Colonial Anxiety And Strategic Rhetorics Of/In The Anti-Abortion Cultural Narrative, Cassidy Ellis

Communication ETDs

In this dissertation I identify and analyze the rhetoric that creates the anti-abortion cultural narrative and locate its toxic secrets by exposing the logics and ideologies the secrets obscure and sustain, and finally, ascertaining the strategic rhetorics that enable the narrative’s power and centrality. There are two primary arguments proposed in this dissertation. First, I argue that settler colonialism is the primary toxic secret nestled just beneath the surface of the anti-abortion cultural narrative. It is the secret that animates and sustains the narrative in service of maintaining settler colonial social order via control and maintenance of the population. Second, …

Machine Learning Methods For Computational Phenotyping Using Patient Healthcare Data With Noisy Labels, Praveen Kumar

Computer Science ETDs

Positive and Unlabeled (PU) learning problems abound in many real-world applications. In healthcare informatics, diagnosed patients are considered labeled positive for a specific disease, but being undiagnosed does not mean they can be labeled negative. PU learning can improve classification performance, and estimate the positive fraction, α, among unlabeled samples. However, algorithms based on the Selected Completely At Random (SCAR) assumption are inadequate when the SCAR assumption fails (e.g., severe cases overrepresented), and when class imbalance is substantial. This dissertation presents and evaluates new algorithms to overcome these limitations. The proposed methods outperform the state-of-art for α-estimation, enhance classification performance, …

Office Of Interprofessional Education: Ipe Honors Program, Heidi Rogers, Patricia Marshik

HSC Education Days

To assist the HSC Colleges in meeting their Interprofessional Education accreditation requirements, and prepare students for effective patient centered practice, the HSC Office of Interprofessional Education designed and implemented an innovative interprofessional education (IPE) Honors program (the first in the United States) in the Summer of 2019. The standard definition of IPE is, “Interprofessional Education happens when two or more professionals learn with, and from each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes.” (WHO, 2010) This program was built through a dynamic and responsive partnership with health professions students from multiple programs. The program was piloted in the …

Hear To Help! Using An Innovative Musical Parody Approach, 'Theraoke' In Pmhnp Education, Joellen Schimmels

HSC Education Days

Engaging learners can be challenging. Working memory is not very efficient and finding novel, unique, and distinctive ways of appealing to mental health work is important for nursing practice. Improving care in an enjoyable and effective manner is greatly needed. Theraoke serves as a useful tool to engage learners and patients through music and spoken word. Using the instrumental versions of popular songs to create new “lyrics” helps present knowledge in a useful and emotional way for interactive engagement and learning. Using this technique to engage learners has many positive outcomes including engaging the brain in areas involved with attention, …

Mental Status Exam: Nuts And Bolts, Frames And Mirrors Teaching The Mental Status Exam To First-Year Psychiatry Residents With Cultural Humility, Wayles Haynes, Olivia Shadid, Travis Campbell

HSC Education Days

The mental status exam (MSE) is a tool used in psychiatry and behavioral health to create a cross-sectional assessment of the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive status of patients. This tool serves clinicians to understand and communicate a patient’s current psychiatric state but can be problematic when applied without consideration of provider bias or patient identity within the larger system. The inherently subjective nature of the MSE can assessments that perpetuate biases and inequities when providers are unaware of the complex interactions of identity, culture, power, and privilege. One possible solution is to teach learners to identify the dually subjective and …

Care Through Connection: Patient Mutuality And Working Alliance Curriculum, N Mariam Salas, Kathryn Lenberg

HSC Education Days

Background: There is clear evidence in the psychology literature that beyond “people skills,” providers who give the patient an active role in developing the treatment plan can increase the adherence to the medical plan by 70%. Though this is utilized extensively in psychology, medical trainees are not routinely taught these communication skills. To arm our fellows with these necessary skills, we worked with our clinical psychologist, Dr. Kathryn Lenberg, to develop an integrated curriculum over the 2-year period of the fellowship. Implementation: We began a phased roll out of the curriculum in 2020. During elective rotations, fellows spent 1 hour …

5 Simple Ways To Get A Wellness Committee Started, Kari J. Rezac

Much has been written about the increase in burnout, increase in rates of depression, and overall decrease in wellness for residents during COVID. Plenty of articles address different factors that could help to achieve wellness for residents including the popular Stanford model, which details the importance of personal resilience, workplace culture, professional fulfillment, and practice efficiency. However, little has been published about the wellness programs and committees that have been carried out during or post-COVID. What has been effective? What starts a wellness culture? Using UNM’s physical medicine and rehabilitation residency’s journey to wellness as a guide, this presentation will …

Top Tips For Using Color And Contrast In Your Presentations, Evelyn Lockhart

HSC Education Days

PowerPoint is an indispensable tool in our teaching arsenal to create multimedia presentations that combine images and text. However, many who use PowerPoint have never been trained in graphic design. In this presentation, we will review evidence-based principles of graphic design that can help educators create presentations with clarity and impact. We will focus on the effective use of color and contrast--two powerful preattentive features which, when used well, can align visual salience with the relevant material in your presentation. We will also review visual accessibility for learners, including consideration for those with visual impairment and color blindness.

Rural And Community Psychiatry Residency Rotation: A Quality Improvement Initiative For Resident Training In Integrated Care, Poonè Haghani Tehrani, Kelsey J. Sala-Hamrick, Sushilla Knottenbelt, Heidi Rishel Brakey, Julie G. Salvador

HSC Education Days

Introduction: Many practice and policy organizations have recommended integration of behavioral health (BH), including psychiatric services, into primary-care clinics to increase patient access to high-quality care while reducing healthcare costs. Despite the effectiveness of integrated BH (IBH), few psychiatry residents are trained in these models. Currently, no evaluated and published curricula on IBH exists. To address this gap, we created a curriculum to teach different models of IBH to psychiatry residents. Methods: The curriculum was developed within the Kern 6-step theoretical framework and implemented at UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center (SRMC) family practice clinic. To assess psychiatry residents’ perception of …

A Novel Use Of An Objective Structured Clinical Examination (Osce) To Assess Student Learning In A Clinical Spanish Course, Rose M. Vallejo, Eric S. Kruger

HSC Education Days

Background: In an effort to meet the needs of patients with limited English proficiency and help reduce related healthcare disparities, the Physical Therapy Program at the University of New Mexico (UNM) has required its students to enroll in a clinical Spanish Course. This course was designed to align the curriculum with how students use Spanish in the clinic, emphasizing speaking and listening skills. To meet this endeavor, a flipped classroom design was used with language labs that focused on speaking and comprehension skills. Given the course design, it was recognized that a traditional written examination would not effectively assess student …
