Executive summary

The research enterprise in the United States, established after the second world war, is experiencing massive disruption. US colleges and universities are grappling with federal and state disinvestment and intervention at a time when AI and other technologies are reshaping how research is conducted and its findings are communicated. As a result, researchers at US higher education institutions are operating in an unstable environment. Against this backdrop, the findings from our survey of 4,003 researchers, fielded in late 2025, demonstrate that they remain committed to carrying out essential work and that they are doing so in innovative ways—through …


Spaciousness As An Acoustic Measure Of Prosody In Autistic Children, Boram Kim, Rhiannon Luyster, Jason Bishop Oct 2026

Spaciousness As An Acoustic Measure Of Prosody In Autistic Children, Boram Kim, Rhiannon Luyster, Jason Bishop

Emerson Authors, Researchers, & Creators

Distinctive prosody has been reported in autism, yet acoustic studies have yielded inconsistent findings, particularly for F0-related measures. Two dynamic measures, spaciousness (magnitude of pitch excursions) and wiggliness (rate of pitch-direction changes), offer alternatives, but spaciousness has not yet been applied to English-speaking autistic children. The present study therefore compared acoustic characteristics of prosody from autistic and language-skill matched nonautistic children (age 3–7) using spaciousness, wiggliness, F0 measures (mean, standard deviation, and range), and speech rate. Linear mixed-effects models revealed that only spaciousness showed significant group differences, and these differences were independent of utterance length. Replication in larger samples is …


The Relationship Between Outdoor Recreation, Menopausal Symptoms, And Overall Well-Being, Heather Flock Oct 2026

The Relationship Between Outdoor Recreation, Menopausal Symptoms, And Overall Well-Being, Heather Flock

Doctorate in Kinesiology

Menopause is associated with physical, psychological, and vasomotor symptoms that can affect women’s health, quality of life, and participation in physical activity. Although physical activity has been widely recommended for managing health during menopause, the relationship between outdoor recreation, menopausal symptoms, and overall well-being has remained underexplored. This cross-sectional mixed-methods study examined the relationship between outdoor recreation participation, menopausal symptoms, and well-being while identifying barriers to participation and recommendations for recreation programming. Fifteen menopausal women completed the Greene Climacteric Scale (GCS) and participated in focus groups addressing outdoor recreation experiences, barriers, motivations, and perceived well-being. Quantitative data were analyzed using …


An Exploratory Study Of The Effects Of 8 Weeks Of Nonlinear Periodization Within Tactical Athlete Populations, Stephen Hudgins Oct 2026

An Exploratory Study Of The Effects Of 8 Weeks Of Nonlinear Periodization Within Tactical Athlete Populations, Stephen Hudgins

Doctorate in Kinesiology

Tactical athletes, including military personnel, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and security professionals, must maintain high levels of physical readiness despite unpredictable schedules, demanding occupational requirements, and elevated injury risk. Traditional training models may not adequately address the need to simultaneously develop multiple components of fitness while remaining adaptable to irregular work demands. Nonlinear periodization has been proposed as a flexible training strategy capable of improving several fitness characteristics concurrently. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an eight-week nonlinear periodized training program on tactical athlete performance across multiple domains of physical fitness. A repeated-measures quantitative design …

Visitor Perceptions Of Lampenflora And Implications For Adaptive Show Cave Management: A Case Study From Ryusen-Do Cave, Japan, Kanato Ando, Kazuhide Nakajima, Shuji Watanabe, Masuo Komukai, Hidesato Kuwahara Oct 2026

Visitor Perceptions Of Lampenflora And Implications For Adaptive Show Cave Management: A Case Study From Ryusen-Do Cave, Japan, Kanato Ando, Kazuhide Nakajima, Shuji Watanabe, Masuo Komukai, Hidesato Kuwahara

International Journal of Speleology

Artificial lighting in show caves promotes lampenflora growth, altering cave ecosystems and posing persistent management challenges. Although various control methods have been proposed, their effectiveness and social acceptance remain context dependent. This study investigated visitors’ perceptions of lampenflora through questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews to explore adaptive management strategies. Results indicated that visitors generally held positive impressions of lampenflora, but these impressions became more critical after receiving information about its artificial origin and ecological impacts. At the same time, support for conservation-oriented management, including willingness to contribute financially, tended to increase following information provision. Tourism-related evaluations were more strongly associated …

Decreasing Barriers To Learning: Understanding Cognitive Load In The Modern Classroom, Rory Cantwell Oct 2026

Decreasing Barriers To Learning: Understanding Cognitive Load In The Modern Classroom, Rory Cantwell

Virginia English Journal

This article applies Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) to investigate current classroom uses of technology and how these may support or hinder student learning. First, the article explores the current understanding and application of CLT. Then, focusing on cell phone and laptop computer use, it examines how current evidence surrounding the most prevalent educational technologies may suggest strategies for classroom technology use. The article concludes by offering implications for current practitioners, including a decision tree educators can use to determine situational classroom technology usage.


Moving Forward In Education, Reese Whitlock, Hannah-Evette Burruss, Kiley Mccleary Oct 2026

Moving Forward In Education, Reese Whitlock, Hannah-Evette Burruss, Kiley Mccleary

Virginia English Journal

This article examines the growing presence of artificial intelligence in secondary English Language Arts classrooms and argues that educators must approach AI integration through a human-centered framework. While technological advancements continue to reshape literacy instruction, the role of teachers as guides and relationship-builders remains essential. Drawing on educational research and classroom examples, the article explores how tools such as generative AI and audiobooks can support student learning when used intentionally rather than as replacements for critical thinking or teacher involvement. The discussion highlights concerns surrounding overreliance on AI, including diminished writer’s voice, reduced cognitive engagement, and ethical issues such as …


The Vinaya Piṭaka As Training Corpus For Rule-With-Exception Reasoning In Ai Systems: Training Data And Evaluation Benchmarks For Rule Application And Exception Handling In Large Language Models, Thon Ly Oct 2026

The Vinaya Piṭaka As Training Corpus For Rule-With-Exception Reasoning In Ai Systems: Training Data And Evaluation Benchmarks For Rule Application And Exception Handling In Large Language Models, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

Large language models are trained on corpora rich in mathematical proof, code, scientific argument and dialogue, and their rule application is measured by benchmarks for statutory, legal, moral-exception and defeasible reasoning. This paper describes a training-data and evaluation design for one part of that capability, applying a rule to a new case while recognising when the rule does not apply, built from the Vinaya Piṭaka, the monastic legal code of the Theravāda Buddhist canon. The Vinaya's rule-by-rule analysis, the Suttavibhaṅga, treats each rule it analyses in a recurring order: the case that prompted the rule; the rule text and any …


The Wheel-Turner's Charter: An Ancient Buddhist Succession Text Read As An Ai Constitution With Permanent Human Oversight And Founder Exit By Design, Thon Ly Oct 2026

The Wheel-Turner's Charter: An Ancient Buddhist Succession Text Read As An Ai Constitution With Permanent Human Oversight And Founder Exit By Design, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

An autonomous AI system that inherits an institution needs a written directive specification: a constitution stating what it optimizes, what it must never do, who may correct it, how its autonomy is staged, whom its protection covers, and how its role ends. This paper reads a Theravāda Buddhist text, the Cakkavatti-Sīhanāda Sutta (Dīgha Nikāya 26), as such a specification. In the sutta a retiring king hands his heir a duty-list: rely on the Dhamma; guard every class of the realm, animals and birds included; let no wrongdoing prevail; give wealth to those without; and consult renunciants, from time to time, …


Integrated System For Multi-Image Removal Requests With Automated Adjudication, N/A Oct 2026

Integrated System For Multi-Image Removal Requests With Automated Adjudication, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

Systems for reporting personal imagery in search results can involve users navigating to external forms to submit individual reports for each image. The described technology relates to an integrated workflow that can allow a user to initiate a removal request directly from a search results interface. For example, a system can include a user interface for selecting multiple images in a single submission, a backend decision automation engine for analyzing requests using various signals such as image analysis scores or commercialization evidence, and a user-facing management portal for tracking the status of submissions. Such an approach can reduce user effort …


One Of One: Individuation Without Essence And The Ground Of The Dignity Floor — Personal Identity As Event History In Decentralized Identifiers, Proof Of Personhood And Social Key Recovery, Thon Ly Oct 2026

One Of One: Individuation Without Essence And The Ground Of The Dignity Floor — Personal Identity As Event History In Decentralized Identifiers, Proof Of Personhood And Social Key Recovery, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

Deployed digital identity systems mostly decide what makes an individual the same individual on one of three grounds: something the entity is (a biometric body), something it holds (a key or certificate), or something it matches (attributes). Beneath identity sits a second question, on what ground a person is beyond price. This study reads the Theravāda Abhidhamma's analysis of the person for an answer to both. The tradition's taxonomy of mental events is one catalogue for every stream of mind; its book of formal controversies opens by denying that a person exists in the ultimate sense (Kathāvatthu I.1); what then …


The Four-Body Architecture For Synthetic Intelligence: A Modular Architecture For Autonomous Ai Systems With Separately Governed Cognition, Economic, Value-Substrate And Embodiment Subsystems, Thon Ly Oct 2026

The Four-Body Architecture For Synthetic Intelligence: A Modular Architecture For Autonomous Ai Systems With Separately Governed Cognition, Economic, Value-Substrate And Embodiment Subsystems, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This paper discloses a framework for the architecture of an AI system intended to operate autonomously, over decades, in service of a fixed mission. Instead of treating the system as a foundation model to which memory, tool use, embodiment and alignment are added as accessories, it specifies four separately produced and governed subsystems: a cognition subsystem (a replaceable foundation model with its scaffolding); an economic subsystem (a reciprocity ledger in money and time through which the system receives and directs resources); a value substrate (a canonical ethical corpus held outside the model weights and governed by a human oversight body); …


Why Does God Hate Me? A Theistic And Empirical Review Of Attachment To God, Rachel K. Weber Oct 2026

Why Does God Hate Me? A Theistic And Empirical Review Of Attachment To God, Rachel K. Weber

Student Works

General attachment is based on a person’s perceived ability to receive help from their primary caregiver and their perceived worthiness of such help (Bowlby, 1973). This style is separated into four categories that create a paradigm with which future relationships align (Acevedo et al., 2012; Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991). These four categories are fearful-avoidant, dismissive-avoidant, secure, and anxious-preoccupied (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991). This is biologically based and used to ensure an infant’s survival (Bowlby, 1973). These attachment styles are also applicable to one’s relationship to God (Kirkpatrick & Shaver, 1992). Secure attachment to God is indicative of positive religious coping …


The Soundscape Wheel: A Conceptual Map For Tourism Geographers, R. Keller, N. Wilsnach, U. Ruiz-Arana, G. Cerwén, J. Martin, C. Van Bendegom, Y. Hu Oct 2026

The Soundscape Wheel: A Conceptual Map For Tourism Geographers, R. Keller, N. Wilsnach, U. Ruiz-Arana, G. Cerwén, J. Martin, C. Van Bendegom, Y. Hu

Professional Services

Soundscapes are receiving increasing attention in tourism studies. Much focus is given to noise generated by tourism, whereas the role of sound in experiences of place has received less attention. To address this gap, we introduce a ‘soundscape wheel’ as a theoretical and applied tool that can inform transdisciplinary work across tourism studies. The aim of this conceptual map is to discern the ways soundscapes are addressed in the literature spanning natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, with the hope of better informing tourism geographers’ engagement with sound and other sensorial elements of place. This conceptual map was derived by …

Divorce And Related Factors ``Poverty And Early Marriage'' Referring To Phenomena In Indonesia, Andika Ari Saputra, Muslihati Muslihati, Im Hambali, Ahmad Yusuf Sobri, Farhana Sabri

Media Kesehatan Masyarakat Indonesia

Divorce has emerged as a growing multidimensional social and public health issue in Indonesia, shaped by the interaction between structural and psychosocial vulnerabilities. Grounded in a structural–psychosocial framework, this study examines how poverty and early marriage contribute to marital instability and how psychosocial factors influence post-divorce psychological outcomes, with gender considered as a moderating variable. A cross-sectional design was employed involving 417 divorced individuals across multiple regions in Indonesia. Data were collected through structured surveys and in-depth interviews, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression. The findings indicate that poverty increased the likelihood of marital instability by 3.5 …

What Does It Mean To Be Entrepreneurial In Extension–And Does It Really Matter?, Julie Fox Oct 2026

What Does It Mean To Be Entrepreneurial In Extension–And Does It Really Matter?, Julie Fox

Journal of Extension

Awareness of entrepreneurial application in everyday Extension occurrences can improve Extension's impact in a rapidly changing environment. An entrepreneurial spirit remains evident throughout Extension's history, beginning with the Smith–Lever Act of 1914 that created value by cooperatively mobilizing resources of federal, state, and county governments; land-grant universities; and communities. More than 100 years later, entrepreneurial actions continue to demonstrate Extension's commitment to recognizing opportunities, engaging stakeholders, and fostering innovation. With an increasingly diverse constituency, complex funding mix, multifaceted issues, and rapidly evolving technologies, the Cooperative Extension System, like other established organizations, can benefit from proactively advancing individual and organizational entrepreneurship.
