High-Order Brain Interactions During Ketamine-Induced State Changes: A Functional Marker Of Response In Late-Life Treatment-Resistant Depression?, Krisha Shah, Rubén Herzog, Alan C Swann, Brittany O'Brien, Rahul Balakrishnan, Sanjay J Mathew, Nicholas Murphy

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Ketamine is a fast-acting intervention for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), yet only a subset of patients show robust clinical response, and the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. High-order interactions (HOI) derived from multivariate information theory provide a framework for examining nonlinear dependencies among brain regions beyond pairwise connectivity. One such metric, the O-information, captures the balance between synergistic and redundant interactions across three or more variables. In this secondary analysis of a randomized, double-blind, midazolam-controlled trial (NCT02556606), we examined EEG-derived HOI in 30 late-life veterans with TRD following a single 40-minute intravenous infusion of ketamine (0.1, 0.25, 0.5 mg/kg; n = …

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

To enhance hydrologic modeling, the hydrology community has developed benchmark datasets (e.g. Model Parameter Estimation Experiment, MOPEX), providing standardized data for model evaluation and parameter estimation. However, these datasets primarily focus on modeling natural hydrologic processes, leaving a critical gap in understanding the role of human influences. Here, we introduce the Coupled Hydrology-Human Activity Information (CHHAI) dataset, a benchmark dataset that integrates coupled human–water data from regions across all continents, excluding Antarctica. CHHAI incorporates data from 25 regions that cover various human impacts such as reservoir management, flood protection, river management policies, land use changes, and water use. Each basin …

Efficient Dynamic Mechanism Design Without A Common Prior, Dirk Bergemann, Marek Bojko Jul 2026

Efficient Dynamic Mechanism Design Without A Common Prior, Dirk Bergemann, Marek Bojko

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We study efficient dynamic mechanism design with independent private values when agents do not share a common prior over the stochastic environment. Each agent privately observes the stochastic kernel governing the evolution of her own type and may hold arbitrary beliefs about the kernels of others. We extend the agents’ type space to include the kernel itself and show that the dynamic team mechanism of Athey and Segal (2013) and the dynamic pivot mechanism of Bergemann and Välimäki (2010) implement the socially efficient allocation in periodic ex-post equilibrium. We further show that kernels can be elicited only once, at the …

Aberrant Ciliogenesis Induced By Enhanced Bmp Signaling Causes Heterotopic Ossification, Hiroyuki Yamaguchi, Jianbo Wang, Fangfang Yan, Jiarui Bi, Radbod Darabi, William R. Lagor, Zhongming Zhao, Aris N. Economides, Yuji Mishina, Yoshihiro Komatsu

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling is a principal driver of heterotopic ossification (HO), yet how aberrant BMP activity structurally reprograms cellular signaling machinery to develop HO remains unclear. Here, we identify BMP signaling as a direct upstream regulator of ciliogenesis that coordinates a multi-stage, pro-osteochondrogenic signaling relay during HO. Using a conditional gain-of-function BMP mouse model (Acvr1Q207D/+), we demonstrate that enhanced BMP signaling promotes primary cilium biogenesis and axonemal elongation through canonical Smad1/5/9-dependent transcriptional activation of intraflagellar transport (IFT) Ift20, a core component of the IFT machinery. Rather than operating via a singular downstream cascade, these elongated …

Rothman Institute Papers

INTRODUCTION: Tranexamic acid (TXA) effectively reduces blood loss and transfusion requirements in shoulder arthroplasty. However, concerns regarding thromboembolic, neurologic, cardiac, and renal complications have limited its use in medically high-risk patients. This study evaluated temporal trends and the safety of TXA in high-risk patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA).

METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using TriNetX, identifying patients who underwent shoulder arthroplasty (2012-2025). Patients were stratified by preexisting high-risk conditions, including prior thromboembolism, renal failure, atrial fibrillation, seizure disorders, and visual disturbances. Within each subgroup, patients receiving TXA were propensity score-matched to those who did not. Perioperative TXA …

Ward, T. Wood, Donny Gerke, Suzan Walters, J. Williams, D. Clement, M. Katandu, D. Ferguson, K. Morrison, Yahya Alnashri, Benjamin Grin, Jessica Jaiswal

Faculty and Staff Publications

Background: Stigma surrounding opioid use disorder (OUD) and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), such as methadone, remains a significant barrier to care, despite the effectiveness of MOUD. Intersectional stigma tied to addiction, methadone treatment, structural racism, and classism disproportionately affects minoritized people with OUD, with direct consequences for health and wellbeing. Less is known about how Black and Latine people in methadone treatment think about and experience various dimensions of stigma related to addiction and the social determinants of health.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Black and Latine patients from two Newark, NJ, United States, methadone clinics (n …

Ai-Resistant And Ai-Resilient Assessment In Higher Education: A Systematic Review Of Validity-Grounded Strategies, Institutional Frameworks, And Equity Implications, Asrat Genet Amnie Jul 2026

Ai-Resistant And Ai-Resilient Assessment In Higher Education: A Systematic Review Of Validity-Grounded Strategies, Institutional Frameworks, And Equity Implications, Asrat Genet Amnie

Publications and Research

The emergence of large language models has precipitated a fun damental disruption to higher education assessment. Conventional instruments are susceptible to AI-assisted completion, threatening construct validity across disciplines and institutional contexts. When submitted work reflects AI capability rather than student competency, the inferential chain from performance to qualifica tion is invalidated – a problem of design rather than detection. This systematic review makes two contributions. First, it theorises and grounds the distinction between AI-resistant assessment, which seeks to prevent or impede AI access through containment, and AI-resilient assessment, which assesses genuine human cogni tive performance of intrinsic educational value regardless …

Large language models (LLMs) are deep learning-based artificial intelligence models that have achieved remarkable success in natural language processing. Typically composed of neural networks with billions of parameters, they are trained on massive unlabeled datasets using self-supervised or semi-supervised learning. Beyond language, LLMs hold immense potential for addressing complex bioinformatics challenges. This review provides a comprehensive overview of transformer-based model applications in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, drug discovery, and single-cell analysis. We discuss critical components, including tokenization strategies for diverse biological data, transformer architectures, attention mechanisms, and pretraining approaches. We also survey currently available foundation models and their downstream applications across …


“I Never Really Thought That Would Be Something To Talk About With My Doctor”: Developing A Theory-Led Decision Aid For College Students’ Substance Use Disclosure In Healthcare, Hayley Stahl Jul 2026

“I Never Really Thought That Would Be Something To Talk About With My Doctor”: Developing A Theory-Led Decision Aid For College Students’ Substance Use Disclosure In Healthcare, Hayley Stahl

Dissertations and Doctoral Documents, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 2023–

College students who use drugs face compounding barriers to disclosing substance use to healthcare providers, including uncertainty about health consequences and stigma-driven identity concerns. Existing disclosure tools address neither barrier in an integrated fashion. This explanatory sequential mixed-methods study examined how constructs from the Theory of Motivated Information Management (TMIM; Afifi & Weiner, 2004) and Stigma Management Communication (SMC; Meisenbach, 2010) theory suggest factors influencing substance use disclosure among college students and shape their lived disclosure experiences. In Study 1, simultaneous-entry multiple regression analyses revealed that communication efficacy was associated with information seeking, perceived benefits of disclosure were linked to …


The Role Of Cross-Cultural Connections In Leadership Identity Development: From Entry To Embodiment, Jennifer Okoliko Jul 2026

The Role Of Cross-Cultural Connections In Leadership Identity Development: From Entry To Embodiment, Jennifer Okoliko

Dissertations and Doctoral Documents, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 2023–

Leadership identity development has received considerable attention in the literature, but most of what we know comes from studies focused on students in formal leadership programs or on the mentee’s side of mentoring relationships. Less understood is the mentor's leadership identity development journey and the role of culture in that process.

This study explores how mentors from low power distance cultural backgrounds who engaged with mentees from high power distance cultural backgrounds interpreted the impact of those experiences on their leadership identity development.

Using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), I conducted two semi-structured interviews with ten participants recruited from different formal …

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Purpose: Persistence is widely viewed as essential for success in business to business (B2B) selling, yet it remains unclear how persistence translates into higher sales performance when selling requires experimentation and novel customer solutions. This study examines whether a perceived sales innovativeness climate enables persistence and entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and, in turn, creative selling, driving B2B sales performance.

Design/methodology/approach: An online survey of 346 US-based B2B salespeople was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).

Findings: The perceived sales-innovativeness climate is positively associated with ESE, persistence, and sales performance. Persistence is positively related to sales performance and ESE, …


A Core Outcome Measurement Set For Hyperemesis Gravidarum Research: A Consensus Study, Kate Maslin Jul 2026

A Core Outcome Measurement Set For Hyperemesis Gravidarum Research: A Consensus Study, Kate Maslin

School of Nursing and Midwifery

BackgroundOutcome reporting in hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) research lacks standardization, which hampers the aggregation of data. A core outcome set (COS) for HG research has been developed to increase standardization. While a COS represents which key outcomes should be measured, it does not describe how and when they should be measured. Our aim was to develop a consensus-based core outcome measurement set for HG complementing the existing COS for HG.MethodThis study included multiple phases: (1) systematic review to identify all existing outcome measurement instrument (OMI)s in HG research; (2) a consensus meeting with the steering committee of this study to vote …

A Systematic Survey Of Brachyuran Land Crabs In The Online Tropical Aquarium Trade, Ella Xanthe Whitaker, David L. Roberts, John I. Spicer, Lucy Millicent Turner

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Globally the tropical aquatic aquarium trade is a multi-million-dollar industry. Although marine ornamental fish and invertebrates are the main focus, tropical freshwater ornamental species including invertebrates (classed by the sector as semi-aquatic, such as land crabs) are also traded. Land crabs include both brachyurans (true crabs) and anomurans (false crabs, including hermit crabs). These are sourced from wild populations and/or tank-bred for use as ornamental commodity species. This global trade is unregulated and the full extent of the brachyuran land crab trade is unknown. Land crabs are important ecosystem engineers, and collection for the tropical freshwater/semi-aquatic aquarium industry is believed …


A Conserved Mechanism For Dimerization And Activation Of Superfamily 1a Uvrd-Family Helicases, Binh Nguyen, Kacey N Mersch, Ankita Chadda, Eric A Galburt, Timothy M Lohman Jul 2026

A Conserved Mechanism For Dimerization And Activation Of Superfamily 1a Uvrd-Family Helicases, Binh Nguyen, Kacey N Mersch, Ankita Chadda, Eric A Galburt, Timothy M Lohman

2020-Current year OA Pubs

DNA helicases are ATP-dependent motor proteins that catalyze duplex DNA unwinding and are involved in DNA repair, recombination, and replication restart. Prominent members of the non-hexameric SF1A UvrD-family helicases are Escherichia coli UvrD, Rep, Bacillus stearothermophilus PcrA, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) UvrD1. SF1A monomers are processive 3'-to-5' single-stranded DNA translocases but need to be activated to become DNA helicases. One mechanism of activation is dimerization. Whereas Rep, UvrD, and PcrA form non-covalent dimers, the Mtb UvrD1 helicase forms a redox-dependent covalent dimer. Dimerization of Mtb UvrD1 occurs between the same regulatory domain (2B) within each subunit stabilized by a disulfide …

Transformative Phygital Service Research (Tpsr): An Agenda For Future Research, Saadia Shabnam, Sanjit K. Roy, Yonathan Silvain Roten, Gaganpreet Singh, Taewon Suh, Hairong Li

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Purpose – This paper aims to develop a transformative phygital service research (TPSR) framework to explain how hybrid physical-digital service systems shape consumer well-being, autonomy, dignity and inclusion. While prior phygital service research (PSR) advances understanding of hybrid experiences and human-centred ecosystems, key ambiguities persist around agency, governance and interpretive labour in algorithmically mediated interactions. Existing frameworks address value co-creation but lack clarity on how digitally enforced rules and redistributed labour drive transformation. TPSR addresses this gap by theorising contradiction-driven processes through which human–AI arrangements and socio-technical dynamics produce both empowering and erosive outcomes in phygital service environments. Design/methodology/approach – …

Early diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a major clinical challenge due to the delayed and insensitive nature of conventional markers such as serum creatinine. Urinary protein biomarkers, including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and cystatin C (CysC), provide earlier and complementary information on kidney injury, but their clinical translation is limited by the lack of rapid, quantitative, and multiplexed point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tests. Here, we report a multiplexed plasmonic-fluor-based lateral flow assay (p-LFA) that enables sensitive, quantitative, and simultaneous detection of NGAL and CysC. By harnessing ultrabright plasmonic-fluor nanolabels and ratiometric fluorescence analysis, the p-LFA achieves picogram-per-milliliter analytical sensitivity …

Technical Disclosure: The Urban Biosphere Ziggurat (Ubz), Affordable Housing And Urban Planning, Christopher L. Eckes Jul 2026

Technical Disclosure: The Urban Biosphere Ziggurat (Ubz), Affordable Housing And Urban Planning, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

Current high-density urban housing models in the United States routinely fail because they optimize strictly for initial cost-per-square-foot, resulting in double-loaded corridor containment layouts that restrict natural light, induce community stagnation, and induce severe benefit "cliff effects" on upwardly mobile residents. The Urban Biosphere Ziggurat (UBZ) framework resolves this systemic crisis by decoupling high-tech, factory-precise structural engineering from regional, artistic architectural cladding. This disclosure outlines a scalable, non-speculative structural chassis integrated into a Community Land Trust (CLT) and Limited-Equity Housing Cooperative (LEHC) [1.5] governance ecosystem, permanently divesting real estate from predatory international speculation.
