Leveraging Hispanic-Serving Institutions Within Physics Education Research, Brianne Gutmann, Rebecca Rosenblatt Jan 2022

Leveraging Hispanic-Serving Institutions Within Physics Education Research, Brianne Gutmann, Rebecca Rosenblatt

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Hispanic serving institutions (HSIs) are an increasingly large set of higher education institutions in the United States. From 2010-2020 the number of HSIs increased from 311 to 569. Within the physics education research (PER) community, research perspectives from HSIs have provided critical insights into how to support racially and ethnically diverse students. Within the last decade, research from HSIs made up approximately 20% of publications from US higher education institutions in common PER journals. These publications do not always fully name and leverage their HSI context, though the work done at HSIs still more consistently centers students’ identities as compared …

Background Transgender, nonbinary and gender-expansive (TGE) people face barriers to abortion care and may consider abortion without clinical supervision. Methods In 2019, we recruited participants for an online survey about sexual and reproductive health. Eligible participants were TGE people assigned female or intersex at birth, 18 years and older, from across the United States, and recruited through The PRIDE Study or via online and in-person postings. Results Of 1694 TGE participants, 76 people (36% of those ever pregnant) reported considering trying to end a pregnancy on their own without clinical supervision, and a subset of these (n=40; 19% of those …

Social Media And The Demotic Turn In Africa's Media Ecology, Farooq Kperogi Jan 2022

Social Media And The Demotic Turn In Africa's Media Ecology, Farooq Kperogi

Faculty Articles

Social media platforms have exploded in the last decade and have emerged as the arenas for discursive democracy, sociality, and digital dissidence across Africa. This article historicizes and genealogizes the exponential, if slightly imperceptible but nonetheless phenomenal, growth, maturation, and spread of social media on a continent that had been described in the scholarly literature as the blackhole of informational capitalism. It argues that the progressive centrality of social media in the quotidian lives of Africans, which has invited consternation and censorship from many African governments and inspired precarity in the traditional media sphere, instantiates the materialization of the demotic …

The ProtoDUNE-SP detector is a single-phase liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) that was constructed and operated in the CERN North Area at the end of the H4 beamline. This detector is a prototype for the first far detector module of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), which will be constructed at the Sandford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, U.S.A. The ProtoDUNE-SP detector incorporates full-size components as designed for DUNE and has an active volume of 7 × 6 × 7.2 m3. The H4 beam delivers incident particles with well-measured momenta and high-purity particle identification. ProtoDUNE-SP's successful …

A Blockchain-Based Retribution Mechanism For Collaborative Intrusion Detection, Wenjun Fan, Shubham Kumar, Sang Yoon Chang, Younghee Park Jan 2022

A Blockchain-Based Retribution Mechanism For Collaborative Intrusion Detection, Wenjun Fan, Shubham Kumar, Sang Yoon Chang, Younghee Park

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Collaborative intrusion detection approach uses the shared detection signature between the collaborative participants to facilitate coordinated defense. In the context of collaborative intrusion detection system (CIDS), however, there is no research focusing on the efficiency of the shared detection signature. The inefficient detection signature costs not only the IDS resource but also the process of the peer-to-peer (P2P) network. In this paper, we therefore propose a blockchain-based retribution mechanism, which aims to incentivize the participants to contribute to verifying the efficiency of the detection signature in terms of certain distributed consensus. We implement a prototype using Ethereum blockchain, which instantiates …

Leveraging Initial Cognitive Load To Predict User Response To Complex Visual Tasks, Reem Albaghli, Yaman Jandali, Sarah Almahmid, Nada Attar Jan 2022

Leveraging Initial Cognitive Load To Predict User Response To Complex Visual Tasks, Reem Albaghli, Yaman Jandali, Sarah Almahmid, Nada Attar

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

In this study, we were able to show how cognitive load measurement during the initiation of a complex visual task can predict user response. We measured cognitive load using pupil size and microsaccade rate. The initial phase of task was defined as the first 25 percent of the trial Reaction Time (RT), which was variable up to 50 seconds. The complex visual task entailed a set of twelve words that could be grouped based into 1, 2, or 3 categories or sets, e.g., the words bed, pillow, headboard, etc. can be grouped into a single set that is bedroom. We …

Visual Task Classification Using Classic Machine Learning And Cnns, Devangi Vilas Chinchankarame, Noha Elfiky, Nada Attar Jan 2022

Visual Task Classification Using Classic Machine Learning And Cnns, Devangi Vilas Chinchankarame, Noha Elfiky, Nada Attar

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Our eyes actively perform tasks including, but not limited to, searching, comparing, and counting. This includes tasks in front of a computer, whether it be trivial activities like reading email, or video gaming, or more serious activities like drone management, or flight simulation. Understanding what type of visual task is being performed is important to develop intelligent user interfaces. In this work, we investigated standard machine and deep learning methods to identify the task type using eye-tracking data-including both raw numerical data and the visual representations of the user gaze scan paths and pupil size. To this end, we experimented …

Tracking The Functions Of Ai As Paradata & Pursuing Archival Accountability, Jeremy Davet, Babak Hamidzadeh, Patricia Franks, Jenny Bunn Jan 2022

Tracking The Functions Of Ai As Paradata & Pursuing Archival Accountability, Jeremy Davet, Babak Hamidzadeh, Patricia Franks, Jenny Bunn

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

While a familiar term in fields like social science research and digital cultural heritage, 'paradata' has not yet been introduced conceptually into the archival realm. In response to an increasing number of experiments with machine learning and artificial intelligence, the InterPARES Trust AI research group proposes the definition of paradata as 'information about the procedure(s) and tools used to create and process information resources, along with information about the persons carrying out those procedures.' The utilization of this concept in archives can help to ensure that AI-driven systems are designed from the outset to honor the archival ethic, and to …

Letter From The Editors, Erica Uszak, Jordan C. Cerone

The Gettysburg Historical Journal

We are proud to present this year’s twenty-first edition of The Gettysburg Historical Journal. Having spent the last two years working with each other and our authors over Zoom, the chance to meet in person with student editors and faculty advisors has given us an experience that the current editorial board has not had in the past. Despite the difficulties we continue to face since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic—mental exhaustion, uncertainty towards the future—we have been lucky enough to receive submissions from many Gettysburg College students, as well as a substantial number from undergraduate students outside of our …

The Integer-Antimagic Spectra Of A Disjoint Union Of Hamiltonian Graphs, Uğur Odabaşi, Dan Roberts, Richard M. Low Jan 2022

The Integer-Antimagic Spectra Of A Disjoint Union Of Hamiltonian Graphs, Uğur Odabaşi, Dan Roberts, Richard M. Low

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Let A be a nontrivial abelian group. A simple graph G = (V,E) is A-antimagic, if there exists an edge labeling f: E(G) → A\{0} such that the induced vertex labeling (Formula Presented) is a one-to-one map. The integer-antimagic spectrum of a graph G is the set IAM(G) = {k: G is Zk-antimagic and k ≥ 2}. In this paper, we determine the integer-antimagic spectra for a disjoint union of Hamiltonian graphs.

Antisocial Personality Disorder: A Theoretical Approach Utilizing Three Dimensions Of Power Analysis, Timothy J. Nguyen, Tara Zolnikov Jan 2022

Antisocial Personality Disorder: A Theoretical Approach Utilizing Three Dimensions Of Power Analysis, Timothy J. Nguyen, Tara Zolnikov

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is often associated with high costs and burden to the rest of society; however, it remains a disorder with no evidence of effective traditional psychological interventions. This theoretical study aimed to analyze the phenomenon of power and how it may influence the conceptualization of ASPD. Data was collected through a comprehensive and systematic review of the current ASPD literature. Findings suggested ASPD as severely conceptually flawed, highly imbalanced in terms of power dynamics between professionals and people diagnosed with ASPD, absent of participants’ voices, absent of any effective traditional psychotherapy interventions, disproportionately focused on deficit-oriented strategies …
