Archives Of Human Rights And Historical Memory: An Analysis Of Archival Practices ‘From Below’ In Four Ngos In Colombia, Claire L. Taylor, Lucia Brandi, Cecilia A. Acosta Sánchez, Marcelo Díaz Vallejo

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

This article centres on four Colombian NGOs who focus on victims of conflict, paying particular attention to the substantial body of material which they collect and curate related to their work, their activities, and the victims that they represent, and which thus comprise a form of unofficial, grassroots archives of the Colombian conflict. The article details the process undertaken by the research team in engaging with the NGOs to examine the current state of their archives, and the problems and issues they have encountered. Firstly, we provide an overview of the context in which the four selected NGOs are working, …

Review Of Seeking A New Life For Indigenous Archives, Natalia Kovalyova

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

Thirteen essays in Afterlives of Indigenous Archives, assembled and edited by Ivy Schweitzer and Gordon Henry Jr., collectively respond to the call to reconsider the archive and reinstate the principles and practices of indigenous archiving. The central element of such reconsiderations is the question of power sustained via the Western tradition of print culture and knowledge organization and, consequently, of conflicts and contradictions amassed in non-indigenous repositories that preserve Indigenous heritage. Exploring alternative ways of preserving indigenous materials, the volume takes the reader from institutional frameworks through an examination of specific cases toward projections of digital innovations in indigenous archives …

A Characterization For Optimal Bundling Of Products With Inter-Dependent Values, Soheil Ghili

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper studies optimal bundling of products with inter-dependent values. I show that, under some conditions, a firm optimally chooses to sell only the full bundle of a given set of products if and only if the optimal sales volume of the full bundle is larger than the optimal sales volume for any smaller bundle. I then provide an interpretation of this characterization based on (i) the magnitude of the variation across consumers in how complementary they find different products, and (ii) how this variation correlates with price sensitivity.

Bayesian Persuasion With Lie Detection, Florian Ederer, Weicheng Min

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We consider a model of Bayesian persuasion in which the Receiver can detect lies with positive probability. We show that the Sender lies more when the lie detection probability increases. As long as the lie detection probability is sufficiently small the Sender's and the Receiver's equilibrium payoffs are unaffected by the lie detection technology because the Sender simply compensates by lying more. When the lie detection probability is sufficiently high, the Sender's (Receiver's) equilibrium payoff decreases (increases) with the lie detection probability.

Classic Article: A Bathythermograph, Athelstan F. Spilhaus

Journal of Marine Research

In the study of the homogeneous layer in the ocean, Rossby and Montgomery (1935) found it desirable to have an instrument which would provide a continuous record of temperature against pressure in the surface layers of the ocean. A preliminary instrument named an “oceanograph” was constructed and used during the summer of 1934. The manifold uses to which such an instrument could be put presaged a widespread employment of the apparatus. This, however, did not come about because of certain inherent difficulties in Rossby’s design. The record was made on a large smoked foil, and thus entailed the attachment of …

Nitrogen Cycling In Muddy Sediments Of Great Peconic Bay, Usa: Seasonal N Reaction Balances And Multi-Year Flux Patterns, Stuart Waugh, Robert C. Aller

Journal of Marine Research

To better understand the capacity of sediments to serve as both source and sink of nitrogen (N) and to identify any evidence of evolving changes in sedimentary N cycling, N₂ production, N remineralization, and N₂ fixation were studied over a multi-year period (2010–2015) in bioturbated mud of Great Peconic Bay, a temperate northeastern U. S. estuary. Benthic fluxes and rates of organic matter remineralization were measured using in situ and ex situ incubations. Net annual NH⁺ ₄, NO–₃/NO–₂, and N₂–N fluxes (μ = 1.1, 0.03, and 1.2 mmol m ^{–2 …}

Density And Size-Dependent Bioturbation Effects Of The Infaunal Polychaete Nephtys Incisa On Sediment Biogeochemistry And Solute Exchange, Emma Michaud, Robert C. Aller, Qingzhi Zhu, Christina Heilbrun, Georges Stora

Journal of Marine Research

The impact of bioturbation on the geochemistry of aquatic sediments is known to depend on the benthic infauna species that are present. However, burrowing and activity patterns of each species may also change during the different stages of a life cycle. In this study, we examined the effects of four size classes of the polychaete Nephtys incisa on burrow networks and sediment biogeochemistry. In our experimental aquaria, the total biovolume (~ biomass) of Nephtys was kept constant, but different age classes were introduced, so the size and abundance varied between treatments. Despite differences in the geometry of burrow networks (due …

Chest Masculinization Surgery: Outcomes, Challenges, And Opportunities For Innovation In Gender-Affirming Care, Sumun Khetpal

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

With the increasing demand for gender-affirming surgeries, it has become paramount for plastic and reconstructive surgeons to evaluate their techniques through assessment of clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Chest wall masculinization is the most commonly performed gender-affirming surgical intervention for transgender male and non-binary patients. The procedure has been cited to alleviate gender dysphoria, defined as the stress that results from the incongruence between one’s sex assigned at birth and one’s gender identity. Peri-areolar and double-incision mastectomy with free nipple grafts, are the most common techniques employed in chest masculinization surgery, but are limited by their relative inconsistency and inefficiency …

Complement-Induced Post-Translational Regulation Of Tgf-Ss Signaling On Endothelial Cells, Kevin Liu

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a complex vaso-occlusive complication of heart transplantation currently identified as a major limiting factor to long-term survival in those who receive a cardiac transplant. In CAV, neointimal lesions form in graft vessels leading to ischemic complications and ultimately allograft loss. CAV is medically untreatable and affects ~50% of heart transplant patients. Endothelial cells (ECs) are a critical site where CAV lesions form, and antibodies produced by the recipient that bind to donor HLA molecules on graft endothelium (donor specific antibodies) have been identified as a key mediator in this process. Recent studies have further identified …

A Comprehensive Study Of Comorbidities And Treatments Including Tnf-⍺ Inhibitors In Patients With Acute Scleritis, Ahmad Abdel-Aty

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Scleritis is a highly symptomatic inflammatory disease of the sclera. We conducted a retrospective study to identify demographic factors and comorbidities associated with resolution of scleritis, to compare patient outcomes on different treatments for scleritis, and to compare treatment utilization by the different medical specialties that manage scleritis. The medical records of all patients with a CPT code for scleritis seen at a tertiary care center from January 1, 2013 to January 1, 2020 were reviewed. Data was collected on demographic factors, comorbidities, and treatment. The primary outcome measures were time until resolution of disease, defined as quiescence of inflammation …

“[The Pediatrician] Said That Maybe My Milk, Instead Of Doing Good, No Longer Helped”: The Ecology Of Infant Formula In Rural Communities In Central Mexico., Paulina Luna Martinez

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The objective of this study was to determine the social and cultural factors that influence the use of formula in two rural and indigenous communities in Central Mexico. We used a qualitative methodology based on the socioecological framework and integrative model of behavior. Interviews and focus groups were carried out with mothers, fathers, and grandparents of children two years of age or younger and healthcare providers attending to mothers and infants. We found that breastfeeding was still favored in both communities, however, many mothers viewed formula as a complement for breastfeeding. Young and first-time mothers were more likely to prefer …

Upwelling Velocity And Ventilation In The Western South China Sea Deduced From Cfc-12 And Sf6 Observations, Weimin Wang, Peng Huang, Hengxiang Deng, Mian Chen, Minggang Cai, Zhiyou Jing, Shihao Luo, Xuehong Zheng, Chunhui Wang, Hongwei Ke

Journal of Marine Research

This study presents observations of the transient tracers CFC-12 and SF₆ in the western South China Sea during the fall of 2015. A CFC-12 maximum was discovered in the western South China Sea at the subsurface layer (150–200 m), which could be traced back to the North Pacific Tropical Water. The transit time distribution approach was used to estimate the ventilation time in this area. The constrained Δ /Γ ratio of 0.5 was obtained using CFC-12/SF₆ tracer pair. This ratio is lower than the empirical unit ratio of one as used for previous estimates. Waters in the northern …

Editor's Commentary: A Bathythermograph, Kenneth H. Brink

Journal of Marine Research

In this classic, Athelstan Spilhaus reports on his progress on a prototype of the mechanical bathythermograph, a project that C.-G. Rossby encouraged him to pursue. Although now most often seen in museums or on movie sets (they look a bit like rockets), bathythermographs were extremely influential from the later 1930s into the 1950s. These remarkable, durable instruments allowed continuous traces of temperature versus depth (previously measured as bottle temperatures at typically 50-m separations), and so opened up an entirely new vision of what ocean thermal structure actually looks like. Spilhaus further provides some actual data...

An Analysis Of Otolaryngology Medical Malpractice Payments From The National Practitioner Data Bank, Christopher Thomas Breen

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

AN ANALYSIS OF OTOLARYNGOLOGY MEDICAL MALPRACTICE PAYMENTS FROM THE NATIONAL PRACTITIONER DATA BANKChristopher T. Breen and Saral Mehra. Section of Otolaryngology, Department of Surgery, Yale University, School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.

The aims of this thesis were to describe malpractice payments made on behalf of otolaryngologists, analyze trends over time, and test the association of payment amount with severity of alleged malpractice and patient age. Through a retrospective cross-sectional study of the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), we analyzed all payments made on behalf of otolaryngologists from 1991 to 2018 that were reported to the NPDB. Descriptive statistics were …

An Opportunity To Study The Impact Of Legal Structures On Public Health: A Review Of Michigan State Juvenile Law On Status Offenders, Lakai Legg

Public Health Theses

Background/Introduction: There is a scarcity of studies in public health that investigate and address structural and political level factors, such as juvenile justice-related legislation and their implementation, and how they contribute to poor health outcomes and health inequities (i.e. by race/ethnicity and gender) in children and adolescents. By reviewing and analyzing the social and political context of juvenile justice and status offenses in the U.S. and Michigan and Michigan state legislation on status offenses, this narrative review aims to identify characteristics of status offense law that may contribute to the inequitable institutionalization of youth and perpetuate public health harms and …

Discovery Of Genetic Pleiotropy For Obesity And Inflammation And Mediation In Identified Variants Through Obesity-Related Pathways, Yiqian Wenren

Public Health Theses

Genetic data suggest that obesity and inflammation shared a portion of their genetic architectures. Meanwhile, epidemiologic data suggest a causal link between obesity and inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesized that there are variants in the human genome that display pleiotropy for obesity and inflammation and that the effects of at least some of those variants could be mediated by obesity-related pathways. To test these hypotheses, we conducted univariate genome-wide association analyses of obesity-related traits (BMI and WHRadjBMI) and inflammation (CRP) in the UK Biobank (n= 291,396 Caucasian subjects), searched for overlapping signals, fine-mapped the regions to identify putative causal SNPs, and …

Assessing Changes In The Epidemiology Of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis In Southwest Colombia Following The Peace Accord With Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias De Colombia (Farc), Matthew Stephen Benczkowski

Public Health Theses

The Colombian Conflict persisted for over 50 years, recently coming to an end in November 2016 after the signing of Colombia’s Peace Agreement between the government and FARC guerrilla group. Internal armed conflict is often entangled with the exacerbation of health outcomes, including promoting the spread of infectious diseases like cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). CL is a vector-borne parasitic disease localized to the human tegument that decreases quality of life through lesions leading to scars and associated stigmatization. This study assessed changes in demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with CL in Southwest Colombia before and after the signing of the …

Knowledge, Attitudes, And Practices Concerning Breast Cancer, Cervical Cancer, And Screening Among Healthcare Professionals And Students In Mogadishu, Somalia, Lucas Walz

Public Health Theses

Background: Somali women face exceptionally high mortality and incidence rates from both breast and cervical cancer. They experience an age-standardized breast cancer mortality rate of 29.1 per 100,000 women, the highest in all of Africa, and an age-standardized breast cancer incidence rate of 41.7 per 100,000 women. Somalia’s second-highest cancer-related mortality and incidence rates are due to cervical cancer, both behind breast cancer. It is critical to identify the underlying factors that may influence healthcare workers’ management of both cancers. At present, there is no consensus regarding providers’ knowledge of different cancers and screening.Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire was administered with …

Why Not Here? An Examination Of Statewide Hospital Use Among Patients With Idu-Associated Diagnoses And Procedures In Lawrence And Lowell Ma, 2005-2019, Frank Wu

Public Health Theses

This study sought to investigate the factors that led residents with IDU-associated diagnoses and procedures to seek care outside their home cities of Lawrence and Lowell, Massachusetts. Endocarditis diagnoses were found to be no different between hospitals in and out of Lawrence and Lowell, however, echocardiograms (CI = -0.19, -0.14; p-value = <0.001), skin and soft tissue infections (CI = 1.11, 1.23; p-value = <0.001), and irrigation and drainage procedures (CI = 0.15, 0.21; p-value = <0.001) were all found to be significantly different. These changes in hospital use highlight the need to account for patient-resident mobility during the creation of future similar studies.
