Legal Opacity: Artificial Intelligence’S Sticky Wicket, Charlotte A. Tschider

Faculty Publications & Other Works

Proponents of artificial intelligence (“AI”) transparency have carefully illustrated the many ways in which transparency may be beneficial to prevent safety and unfairness issues, to promote innovation, and to effectively provide recovery or support due process in lawsuits. However, impediments to transparency goals, described as opacity, or the “black-box” nature of AI, present significant issues for promoting these goals.

An undertheorized perspective on opacity is legal opacity, where competitive, and often discretionary legal choices, coupled with regulatory barriers create opacity. Although legal opacity does not specifically affect AI only, the combination of technical opacity in AI systems with legal opacity …

Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts

We’ve determined that information collected and distributed by and on news and social media outlets has manifested in political biases of its users. It is clear that this issue has subsequently led to political polarization and ethnic prejudice. To combat this problem, we have devised an online informational package and an interactive experience to teach people how to use it. Our website provides the resources to check personal biases and recognize ethnic prejudices. The seminar encourages people to apply and spread their newfound knowledge. We conducted interviews with experts, surveys, and an extensive literature review. Through our research and feedback …

Assessment Of Sex Differences In Basic Renal Mitochondrial Bioenergetics, Morgan J. Spicer

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Kidney diseases are closely linked with mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Furthermore, it is established that sex plays an important role in the onset, development and severity of renal diseases. Recently, it has been revealed that sex hormones are implicated in mitochondrial bioenergetics. Despite information accumulated regarding the role of mitochondria in renal disease states, little is known about the bioenergetics of renal mitochondria in normal physiology, and no studies looked at sex differences pre-disease onset. We hypothesized that there are sex-related differences in renal mitochondrial bioenergetics in young, healthy rats. To test this hypothesis, we utilized renal tissue …

Optimal Tile-Based Dna Self-Assembly Designs For Lattice Graphs And Platonic Solids, Leyda Almodovar, Joanna Ellis-Monaghan, Amanda Harsy, Cory Johnson, Jessica Sorrells

Mathematics Faculty Publications

A design goal in self-assembly of DNA nanostructures is to find minimal sets of branched junction molecules that will self-assemble into targeted structures. This process can be modeled using techniques from graph theory. This paper is a collection of proofs for a set of DNA complexes which can be represented by specific graphs, namely Platonic solids, square lattice graphs, and triangular lattice graphs. This work supplements the results presented in https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.00035

The Political Face Of Antitrust, Spencer Weber Waller

Faculty Publications & Other Works

The last twenty years have brought antitrust back to the fore as a political issue of greater salience. Several booms and busts in the economy have highlighted the issue of corporate power in the economy and the political system. The growing influence and aggressiveness of the European Union and other jurisdictions' competition laws have highlighted the relative retreat in the United States. Political movements in the United States have brought issues of corporate power and its abuse back into the public limelight and with them a greater political salience for antitrust in the election cycle of 2020.

Understanding Resilience Among Individuals With Adverse Childhood Experiences (Aces), Meghan Larson

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as abuse, neglect, and dysfunction in a child’s home are considered a public health crisis due to their correlation to health disparities and psychosocial problems in adulthood such as substance use, relationships, education, and maintaining employment. However, some individuals are resilient and demonstrate the ability to adapt and function well despite experiencing adverse events. To better understand resilience when ACEs are present, I conducted a basic qualitative research study to explore the lived experiences of individuals in Tennessee with elevated ACE and resilience scores. A purposeful sample of 12 participants who scored high on ratings …

Barriers To Sex Offender Reintegration, Brittney Wolf

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Barriers to successful offender reintegration are important to address in treatment approach, and most of the information known about risk to reoffend is created by researchers, treatment providers, and victim experiences. Exploring and learning about the barriers experienced by sex offenders during the reintegration process can provide additional insight into sex offender treatment approaches, reentry processes, community beliefs, and legislation. The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify barriers that sex offenders experience during the reintegration process that may lead them to reoffending. The risk-need-responsivity framework was used to guide the interpretation of identified barriers. The sample consisted of …

Less Is More: Course Redesign And The Development Of An Atmospheric Science Process Skills Assessment, Dawn M. Kopacz, Zachary J. Handlos

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning

General education science courses strive to promote scientific literacy and the development of scientific process skills. However, research shows that many general education courses are still designed to stress content mastery. In this study, the number of topics in five semester-long introductory atmospheric science courses was reduced to increase time for the development of scientific process skills, a critical component of scientific literacy. The Atmospheric and Climate Science Literacy Frameworks and a general science education skills rubric were used to guide the course redesign and development of course activities. Details of the course structure and sample course activities are described. …
