Dispersed Behavior And Perceptions In Assortative Societies, Mira Frick, Ryota Iijima, Yuhta Ishii

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We formulate a model of social interactions and misinferences by agents who neglect assortativity in their society, mistakenly believing that they interact with a representative sample of the population. A key component of our approach is the interplay between this bias and agents’ strategic incentives. We highlight a mechanism through which assortativity neglect, combined with strategic complementarities in agents’ behavior, drives up action dispersion in society (e.g., socioeconomic disparities in education investment). We also suggest that the combination of assortativity neglect and strategic incentives may be relevant in understanding empirically documented misperceptions of income inequality and political attitude polarization.

Nineteenth-Century Depictions Of Disabilities And Modern Metadata: A Consideration Of Material In The P. T. Barnum Digital Collection, Meghan R. Rinn

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

The Library of Congress subject headings have been examined in the past for their classification of subjects relating to race, gender, and sexuality. Overlooked is subject headings that relate to disabilities. In the course of creating records for the archival and object material that form the P.T. Barnum Digital Collection, the project discovered the imperfections of the Library of Congress subject headings, and the need to develop standards and protocols for the material. This resulted in a balance of language that respects the preferences of living communities and their best practices, and the existing language in the Library of Congress, …

Censored Quantile Instrumental Variable Estimation With Stata, Victor Chernozhukov, Iván Fernández-Val, Sukjin Han, Amanda E. Kowalski

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Many applications involve a censored dependent variable and an endogenous independent variable. Chernozhukov et al. (2015) introduced a censored quantile instrumental variable estimator (CQIV) for use in those applications, which has been applied by Kowalski (2016), among others. In this article, we introduce a Stata command, cqiv, that simplifies application of the CQIV estimator in Stata. We summarize the CQIV estimator and algorithm, we describe the use of the cqiv command, and we provide empirical examples.

Datives, Data And Dialect Syntax In American English, Jim Wood, Raffaella Zanuttini

Linguistics Faculty Publications

In this paper, we present a detailed case study of a number of dative constructions that vary across speakers of American English. We show how geographical maps of acceptability judgments can be used to shed light on the syntactic structures underlying those judgments. Those structures can then be used to refine our understanding of syntax more generally, in this case relating to the features of argument-introducing heads. We provide novel support for the low applicative analysis of the Personal Dative construction, on the grounds that this analysis falls in line with a general, somewhat surprising conclusion about Southern American English: …

Rectified Flow In A Stratified Coastal Ocean, K. H. Brink

Journal of Marine Research

An idealized numerical model is used to explore the generation of mean flows by oscillating wind forcing in a stratified coastal ocean with no alongshore variability, i.e., where neither barotropic nor baroclinic instability is a factor. On the inner shelf, where surface-to-bottom mixing occurs, a mean cross-shelf flow develops, as examined by Castelao et al. (2010), and the present results suggest that this flow can remain two-dimensional if there is a nonzero cross-shelf density gradient. Offshore of the inner shelf, where the water column is stratified, a mean alongshore flow develops in the direction opposite to coastal-trapped wave propagation. This …

Multi-Decadal Trends And Variability In Temperature And Salinity In The Mid-Atlantic Bight, Georges Bank, And Gulf Of Maine, Elizabeth J. Wallace, Lev B. Looney, Donglai Gong

Journal of Marine Research

Increasing attention is being placed on the regional impact of climate change. This study focuses on the decadal scale variabilities of temperature and salinity in the Mid-Atlantic Bight (MAB), Georges Bank (GB), and Gulf of Maine (GOM) from 1977 to 2016 using hydrographic survey data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Northeast Fisheries Science Center. The MAB (as defined by the shelf regions from Cape Hatteras to Cape Cod) experienced warming rates of 0.57 °C per decade during the Winter/Spring season (Jan–Apr) and 0.47 °C per decade during the Fall/Winter season (Sep–Dec). The GOM and GB, on the …

Electrophysiology Of The Thalamus During Focal Limbic Seizures, William Angus Biche

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Temporal lobe epilepsy remains a common and complex clinical entity whose underlying disease pathology is incompletely understood. While many structures been identified in contributing to these seizures, particular note should be given to the thalamus. Previous studies with imaging techniques and neurostimulation have suggested certain thalamic nuclei of interest, but their precise activity during seizures has yet to be elucidated. The goal of this study was to perform population and single neuron recordings of several different thalamic nuclei during temporal lobe seizures, namely, the anterior (ANT), centrolateral (CL) and ventral posteriomedial (VPM). We performed these studies in an established rat …

Using Art Observation In Museum Education To Broach Topics Of Bias And Power Among Health Professional Trainees, Robert Michel Rock

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The Liaison Committee on Medical Education has identified training on cross cultural interaction and bias as high-priority topics. There has been little published on the use of fine art, specifically painting or sculpture, as a means of entry into discussion on issues of bias in medicine relating to race, gender, and other identities. Making the Invisible Visible (MIV) is a 3-hour, guided museum tour that uses art observation to facilitate dialogue about biases embedded in Western culture as well as their influence on personal and professional interaction. The tour uses intersectionality and critical pedagogy as theoretical frameworks to approach multiple …

Validation Of A New Anatomic Severity Grading System For Acute Cholecystitis, Kenneth Vera

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) established anatomic grading in 2015 to facilitate risk stratification and risk adjusted outcomes in emergency general surgery. This study validates the AAST anatomic grading system for acute cholecystitis (AC) at a tertiary, academic referral medical center.

This is a retrospective cohort study of 315 patients admitted for AC between 2013 and 2016. Cholecystitis severity was graded based on clinical, imaging, operative, and pathologic criteria in accordance with the published AAST anatomic grading scale. Grade I is acute cholecystitis, grade II is gangrenous or emphysematous cholecystitis, grade III is localized perforation, grade …

The Cost Of Saving A Child’S Life: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Of A Pediatric Operating Room In Uganda, Ava Yap

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

This study examines the cost-effectiveness of constructing a dedicated pediatric operating room (OR) in Uganda, a country where access to surgical care is limited to 4 pediatric surgeons serving a population of over 20 million children under 15 years of age.

A decision tree model projected the cost and disability-adjusted life-years (DALY) averted by a Ugandan pediatric OR. OR cost data were collected by obtaining equipment price lists, anesthetic and operative reports, government salary scales. A patient family survey was administered over 6 months to collect out-of-pocket (OOP) costs. The OR case-log, pediatric surgical ward database and literature review informed …

Risk Prediction In Older Adults After Acute Myocardial Infarction: The Silver-Ami Study, David William Goldstein

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Older adults are at risk for functional decline after hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Our goal with this thesis is to explore two outcomes relevant to maintenance of physical function, falls and cardiac rehabilitation (CR) utilization in a cohort of adults over the age of 75 hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction. We aim to describe the risk of falls within six months of discharge and the rates of CR use, and to identify factors associated with these outcomes.

Our project uses data from the SILVER-AMI study, a prospectively designed cohort study which enrolled 3000 patients over the age of …

Mechanisms Of Decreased Brainstem Arousal In Limbic Seizures: In Vivo Whole-Cell Recordings, John Paul Andrews

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Seizures are commonly regarded as disorders of neuronal hyperactivity, but evidence shows that temporal lobe seizures also cause reduced activity in subcortical arousal nuclei, including cholinergic neurons in the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPT), a key node of the reticular activating system. The synaptic mechanisms underlying the reduced ictal activity of cholinergic neurons in the PPT are unknown. Whole-cell in vivo recordings were made from PPT neurons in head-fixed rats to distinguish active inhibition from withdrawal of excitatory input as the driver of reduced ictal neuronal firing. A subset of PPT neurons exhibited reduced firing and hyperpolarization during seizures and stained …
