Lecture Iii: The Origin Of The Books Of The Old Testament, Part 1, Earl Clement Davis

Lectures on the Origin and History of the Bible

Lecture III, "The Origin of the Books of the Old Testament, Part 1," discusses the scholarly efforts, known in 1916 as "higher criticism," that bring careful historical and linguistic analysis to the study of biblical texts. Davis illustrates that text clearly shows that the Old Testament cannot be simply the received word of God because of various problems, including the idea that Moses could describe his own death, double accounts of creation and of the flood.

Judicial Preferences And Aggrandizement Effects, Jason Marisam

ConLawNOW

Scholars increasingly portray the Supreme Court as power hungry and self-aggrandizing. This aggrandizement literature, though, lacks a robust causal theory. This essay argues that judicial aggrandizement is not the product of a power-maximizing agenda but a function of judicial preferences and legal background conditions. Aggrandizement occurs in cases where legal background conditions do not align with judicial policy preferences and the justices assert power to create their preferred policy outcomes. This theory has significant prescriptive and normative implications. For example, counterintuitively, this essay shows that more judicial aggrandizement could be a sign of a healthier institution under some conditions.

Enhancing Covid-19 Forecasting In Dagestan With Quasi-Linear Recurrence Equations By Using Gldm Algorithm, Mostafa Abotaleb, Tatiana Makarovskikh, Maad M. Mijwil, Ramadhan Ali J

Al-Bahir

This research delineates the advancement of a refined predictive algorithm centered on the Generalized Least Deviation Method (GLDM) specifically configured for analyzing COVID-19 infection trends in Dagestan using univariate time series data. Our methodology is characterized by its enhancement of forecast precision through diligent minimization of a bespoke loss function. The algorithm’s innovation lies in its formulation, incorporating second-order relationships within the time series data: where are the computed weights ascribed to historical data, and denotes the error component. Our empirical analysis substantiates that by strategically accentuating pertinent coefficients and optimizing the loss function, there is a significant elevation in …

University Administration Bookshelf

Instructional designers, instructional systems designers, and other educational technologists are, by their nature, innovators. These professionals apply and extend the applied science of learning, systems, communication, and instructional design theory to help students learn. Technology in some capacity is used to make the connections between subject matter experts, teachers, instructors, and their learners. It is common for instructional designers to seek new tools, techniques, and innovations for the improvement of learning, access, quality, and student satisfaction. However, the adoption and diffusion of new educational technology and innovation is a complex process that depends on many variables. Understanding these processes and …

Reducing Consumer–Brand Incongruity Through Corporate Social Responsibility And Brand Trust: Exploring Negative Word-Of- Mouth (Nwom), Petek Tosun, Sandy Ipeker Cagliyor, Merve Yanar Gürce

Faculty Scholarship

Drawing upon consumer–brand disidentification theory and balance theory, this study examines symbolic and ideological incongruity in consumer–brand relationships through an original conceptual model shaped by negative past experiences, brand trust, perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR), and negative word-of- mouth (NWOM). A preliminary study was conducted to explore the dimensions of consumers' negative past experiences by topic detection. Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling was undertaken to analyze online consumer reviews (n = 6095) about a coffee chain brand. The dimensions detected in this preliminary study were included in the research model and further analyzed in the main study. The main …

Ethical Requirements For Achieving Fairness In Radiology Machine Learning: An Intersectionality And Social Embeddedness Approach, Dessislava S. Fessenko

Journal of Health Ethics

Radiodiagnostics by machine-learning (ML) systems is often perceived as objective and fair. It may, however, exhibit bias towards certain patient sub-groups. The typical reasons for this are the selection of disease features for ML systems to screen, that ML systems learn from human clinical judgements, which are often biased, and that fairness in ML is often inappropriately conceptualized as “equality”. ML systems with such parameters fail to accurately diagnose and address patients’ actual health needs and how they depend on patients’ social identities (i.e. intersectionality) and broader social conditions (i.e. embeddedness). This paper explores the ethical obligations to ensure fairness …

When The Media Meets The Movement: Constructing Unity And Division At The National Women’S Conference, Claire T. Hunter

Washington Semester Program

In 1977, the National Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas was an ambitious and historic attempt to set an agenda for women's rights and equality in the United States. This groundbreaking event brought together thousands of activists, policymakers, and leaders to discuss and propose solutions to issues facing women. This paper uses a qualitative and media analysis of five major newspapers: The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and The Boston Globe to examine how mainstream media constructed narratives of unity and division surrounding the conference. The findings suggest that media coverage …

Media Forensics Hub Creative Inquiry Reports

This report describes additional findings about a pro-Russian disinformation campaign first publicly identified by Clemson’s Media Forensics Hub in December 2023[1] and subsequently dubbed Storm-1516 by Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center.[2] This campaign has been ongoing since at least August 2023 and has met with several viral successes. In this report we will attempt to better understand who may be responsible for Storm-1516 and, perhaps more importantly, the distribution network driving the campaign’s virality.

Storm-1516 is tightly connected to the Russian Foundation to Battle Injustice (R-FBI). Their behavior is much too closely linked than would reasonably occur by accident or simple …
