Evaluating The Impact Of Perceived Discrimination On Patient-Reported Outcomes, Outpatient Care Utilization, Inflammatory Markers, And Lipid Profiles In Young Adults Hospitalized For Acute Myocardial Infarction (Ami), Andrew Arakaki Apr 2023

Evaluating The Impact Of Perceived Discrimination On Patient-Reported Outcomes, Outpatient Care Utilization, Inflammatory Markers, And Lipid Profiles In Young Adults Hospitalized For Acute Myocardial Infarction (Ami), Andrew Arakaki

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Perceived discrimination, defined as experiences of indignities, microaggressions, and other types of mistreatments that privileged groups enact towards members of disadvantaged groups, is a chronic stressor that has been shown to be associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease and incident cardiovascular events. Previous studies have hypothesized that perceived discrimination adversely affects cardiovascular health through multiple physiological, behavioral, and psychosocial pathways. However, the impact of perceived discrimination on outcomes and healthcare utilization among young adults (age 18 – 55 years) hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is largely unknown. This work leveraged data from the VIRGO study (Variation in Recovery: …


Algorithmic Decision-Making With Stakeholder Participation, Vijay Keswani Apr 2023

Algorithmic Decision-Making With Stakeholder Participation, Vijay Keswani

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

The development of trustworthy systems for applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence faces a variety of challenges. These challenges range from the investigation of methods to effectively detect algorithmic biases to methodological and practical hurdles encountered when incorporating notions of representation, equality, and domain expertise in automated decisions. Such questions make the task of building reliable automated decision-making frameworks quite complex; nevertheless, addressing them in a comprehensive manner is an important step toward building automated tools whose impact is equitable. This dissertation focuses on tackling such practical issues faced during the implementation of automated decision-making frameworks. It contributes to …


Realism By Rail: Art And Mobilities In Late Imperial Russia, Stephen Tyler Urchick Apr 2023

Realism By Rail: Art And Mobilities In Late Imperial Russia, Stephen Tyler Urchick

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

This dissertation is the first in English to consider how artists primarily from Russia’s Partnership for Traveling Art Exhibitions, known as the Wanderers, wandered. It breaks with decades of scholarship portraying these painters as pleinarist populists who went to the people, or bourgeois professionals who stayed home. Although the Wanderers rarely accompanied their group’s eponymous Traveling Exhibition as it toured by rail, the artists remained exceptionally mobile over their careers in both the literal and extended notions of this word. How did these artists exploit the accelerations of the late nineteenth century to advance their ambitions, reproduce and circulate their …


Stochastic Modeling And Optimization Of Blockchain Networks, Nikolaos Papadis Apr 2023

Stochastic Modeling And Optimization Of Blockchain Networks, Nikolaos Papadis

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Blockchain technology has attracted a lot of attention as the basis of the decentralized digital currency Bitcoin.Its key advantage is that it enables multiple parties to reach consensus without the need for mutual trust. A well-known tradeoff in blockchain networks arises between their scalability, security, and decentralization; this is usually referred to as the "Blockchain Trilemma," and is due to the coordination and security overhead of the distributed consensus algorithm and its trustless environment. Off-chain payment channels have been proposed as a blockchain scalability solution that enables pairs of nodes to transact without burdening the network. Connected channels form a …


Philological Botany: The Poetics Of Plant Classification In Early China And Japan, Loren Waller Apr 2023

Philological Botany: The Poetics Of Plant Classification In Early China And Japan, Loren Waller

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Flowering plants are a primary topic in Chinese and Japanese poetry, often used figuratively to express human emotions. Over time, as poets alluded to earlier works, these plants developed conventional metaphorical meanings. It is natural that such meanings would shift over time, but what is also striking is that historical understandings of the plants themselves, as well as the names used for the plants, also changed over time. An examination of three case studies will show how the identities of these plants changed over time as they were collected within literary texts and commentaries. Chapter 1 on the hibiscus (Ch. …


Pediatric Cerebral Arachnoid Cysts Are Genetically-Encoded Harbingers Of Neurodevelopmental Pathology, Garrett Allington Apr 2023

Pediatric Cerebral Arachnoid Cysts Are Genetically-Encoded Harbingers Of Neurodevelopmental Pathology, Garrett Allington

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Cerebral arachnoid cysts (ACs) are among the most common human developmental brain lesions, yet, because ACs are not possible to reliably model in lower mammals, the pathogenic mechanisms driving AC formation remain poorly understood. To begin to elucidate AC pathogenesis, we performed an integrated analysis of 617 proband-parent exome trios, 152,898 brain and meningeal single-cell transcriptomes, and artificially-intelligent natural language processor data of proband medical records. We found damaging de novo variants (DNVs) were highly enriched in AC probands versus controls (P = 1 .57 × 10-33). Seven genes harbored an exome-wide significant DNV burden. AC-associated genes are enriched for …


High-Resolution Planetary Forensics, Samuel Cabot Apr 2023

High-Resolution Planetary Forensics, Samuel Cabot

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Planetary bodies maintain records of their past and present states. These records are stored within atmospheric chemistry, interior petrology, and orbital dynamics. Often, they are corrupted by physical processes: irradiation, erosion, dynamical chaos, or collisions; or, their signatures are too weak for robust interpretation. These planetary bodies are “uncommunicative worlds.” Examples of these worlds span our Solar System’s planets, interstellar objects, and distant exoplanets. Only limited information can be gleaned by current-generation instruments. These objects require an innovative class of “planetary forensics” to elucidate their occurrence rates, formation pathways, and evolutionary histories. In this dissertation, I invent new techniques and …


Magical Realism In The Middle Ages: The Marvelous Merlin Of Arthurian Legend, Aaron Richard Kestle Apr 2023

Magical Realism In The Middle Ages: The Marvelous Merlin Of Arthurian Legend, Aaron Richard Kestle

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

The figure of Merlin conjures the image of the enchanter par excellence. He is a magician and a prophet; he changes shape in the blink of an eye; and he reads and records the omens of the kings of Britain. Thus, Merlin is the locus around which the magical and the marvelous proliferate in Arthurian legend. These marvelous qualities are linked to many sources: a long-standing tradition of popular magic and divination, contemporary Christian beliefs, and even autochthonous Brythonic culture and literature. Yet, these magical events – which have inspired clear disbelief and rejection among skeptical readers both medieval and …


Essays On Macroeconomic Policy With Heterogeneous Agents, And Digital Assets, Antzelos Kyriazis Apr 2023

Essays On Macroeconomic Policy With Heterogeneous Agents, And Digital Assets, Antzelos Kyriazis

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

This dissertation has three chapters. In the first chapter, I build a three-agent preferred-habitat NewKeynesian (PHANK) model. I show that the fiscal multiplier decreases in the presence of countercyclical QE policies after a fiscal expansion since countercyclical QE implies that the central bank sells government bonds, leading to higher expected returns on these bonds, which in turn incentivizes the bondholders to save more. However, since bondholders save more, they consume less, and as a result, consumption inequality between the savers and the non-savers falls, but wealth inequality increases. The qualitative results are similar in a medium-scale heterogeneous agents New Keynesian …


The Making Of Pasolini's Poetic Cinema, Sarah Atkinson Apr 2023

The Making Of Pasolini's Poetic Cinema, Sarah Atkinson

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

This dissertation is a study of how Pier Paolo Pasolini pioneered representations of otherness through a new kind of mimesis of the gaze. For the poet-filmmaker, cinema offered a liberating way to represent plural subjectivities through expressive modes that transcend verbal language. Central to his theory of poetic cinema is free indirect discourse, a literary technique wherein a narrator temporarily enters a character’s frame of mind and adopts their distinct point of view. When adapted to film, it becomes a strategy for representing alternative perspectives which allows the audience to experience concrete social difference and highlights nuances that may otherwise …


Sonic Virtuality: Imagining Voices In Late Medieval English Lyric, Melissa Tu Apr 2023

Sonic Virtuality: Imagining Voices In Late Medieval English Lyric, Melissa Tu

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

This dissertation explores a textual effect in late medieval English religious poetry, which the project terms “sonic virtuality”: a form of sensory stimulation where instincts of bodily sensation are activated regardless of the performative circumstances under which the poem is encountered. This effect allows the poems to catalyze for their audiences exceptionally vivid imaginative encounters with the poetic personas who appear in them. The project focuses especially on devotional lyrics written, copied, and circulated in medieval England during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, focusing on deictic ambiguities surrounding the lyrics’ uses of the first-person pronoun I. Studies of first-person voices …


Risk Factors Associated With Suicide Among Veterans With Hiv In The Veterans Aging Cohort Study, Alexandria Catherine Smith Apr 2023

Risk Factors Associated With Suicide Among Veterans With Hiv In The Veterans Aging Cohort Study, Alexandria Catherine Smith

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

With advancements in treatment, HIV has transitioned from a terminal diagnosis to a chronic illness. Yet, despite improvement in life expectancy, people living with HIV (PWH) remain at high risk of suicide compared to the general population [1-8]. Moreover, the risk of suicide among PWH is greater compared to individuals with other chronic conditions [9]. Given the persistently elevated rate of suicide among PWH, the goal of this dissertation is to further advance our knowledge of risk factors contributing to suicide among PWH. For this dissertation, I first reviewed the existing peer-reviewed literature from 1996 through 2020 and identified known …


Quantifying Visual Characteristics Of Products, Ankit Sisodia Apr 2023

Quantifying Visual Characteristics Of Products, Ankit Sisodia

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

Marketing models typically focus on how structured product characteristics impact consumer preferences. However, visual characteristics of products present in unstructured image data play an important role in impacting preferences for many categories. In this dissertation, we develop a method to automatically discover and quantify visual characteristics from product images using a disentanglement-based approach. Disentanglement aims to identify statistically independent and human interpretable characteristics, so a change in one visual characteristic produces a change in the visual space only along one human interpretable visual characteristic. The existing deep learning literature has shown that it is impossible to obtain unique representations of …


Essays On International Technology Diffusion, Sheng Cai Apr 2023

Essays On International Technology Diffusion, Sheng Cai

Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Dissertations

The economic activities and influence of multinational production (MP) are central to many policy discussions. In the first chapter of the dissertation, we provide a framework to understand the role of knowledge spillover from MP in the process of international development and economic growth. We build a tractable multi-country growth model featuring multinational production and knowledge spillover. Firms choose where to produce their products, potentially in a foreign country, because of lower labor costs and better market access. The host country is exposed to technology and management styles used by foreign firms, which is beneficial for local economic growth. Technology …
