Birch On Fetal Sentience, Claudia Passos-Ferreira

Animal Sentience

Birch proposes that human fetuses be recognized as sentience candidates from 12 weeks, on the grounds that midbrain-centered theories fall within the zone of reasonable disagreement among theories of consciousness. I raise a methodological and a policy problem for his view. Methodologically, whether the midbrain-centered view belongs within the zone is disputed, so there is no consensus about the consensus.  Furthermore, the evidence Birch discusses for 12 weeks does not actually estimate the onset of sentience; the proposed threshold tracks anatomical rather than functional onset. On policy, the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling shows that fetal sentience is difficult to …

Reframing Trauma Bonding: Understanding Relationship-Based Violence Through A Public Health Lens, Ziwei Qi, Lori E. Kniffin

Times Talk Archive & ADP Projects

Rather than describing shared hardship, trauma bonding reflects a psychological attachment formed through cycles of abuse and intermittent reinforcement, which can make leaving harmful relationships complex and, at times, dangerous. Drawing on this framework, the session will connect trauma bonding to public health approaches that emphasize prevention, early intervention, and structural conditions. It will also integrate insights from the Facing Project, highlighting how survivor storytelling can deepen understanding of lived experiences, reduce stigma, and inform community-based responses.

Visualizing Borneo Biodiversity And Dayak Cultural Heritage Through Contemporary Innovative Batik Motifs, Kristanti Kristanti

Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya

Borneo combines exceptional biological diversity with cultural traditions that shape regional identity. This study aims to develop contemporary batik motifs based on selected biological references associated with Borneo and one Dayak cultural reference while documenting the visual transformation process as research knowledge. A practice-based research approach was employed through exploration, design development, realization, expert validation, and revision. The initial exploration included the Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus), rhinoceros hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros), black orchid (Coelogyne pandurata), ironwood (Eusideroxylon zwageri), and pitcher plants (Nepenthes spp.), while the Dayak …

Microbiome Dynamics During Translocation Of The Critically Endangered Frog Craugastor Ranoides, Xavier A. Harrison, Katherine Herborn, Gilbert Alvarado, Maria Marta Chavarria, Kirtsy J. Marsh, Alexander Wilson, Alexandra North, Vikki Wakeham, Roberto Fernández Ugalde, Héctor Zumbado-Ulate, Jon Bielby, Robert Puschendorf

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Amphibian populations are declining, and species are going extinct due to habitat loss, climate change, and emerging infectious disease, prompting the increasing use of translocations as a conservation tool. Skin-associated bacterial communities play a key role in amphibian health, particularly in protecting hosts from pathogenic infection. However, to date weknow relatively little about the impact of translocation on the dynamics of skin-associated bacteria, or the consequences oftranslocation-mediated disturbance of the microbiome for amphibian health. We investigated the skin microbiome of the critically endangered frog Craugastor ranoides, now restricted to a fraction of its historical range in Costa Rica. We first …

Aspen Health On Cedar Mountain: What Landowners Should Know, Justin Derose, Darren Mcavoy

All Current Publications

Aspen forests are among the most valuable parts of the Cedar Mountain area in southwest Utah and of Utah's landscapes. They provide wildlife habitat, improve scenery, help slow wildfire spread, and support healthy watersheds and grazing lands. Cedar Mountain’s aspen forests are changing. The landscape still supports significant aspen acreage, but many stands are aging and losing mature trees faster than they are being replaced. Researchers studied the area to assess the health of the aspen forest over many years, beginning in 2008; this fact sheet discusses the results. It also provides management considerations.

Quantum-Enhanced And Machine Learning Framework For High-Accuracy Fatigue Life Prediction And Structural Analysis Of Connecting Rod, P. H. J. Venkatesh, P. Seema Rani

Babylonian Journal of Mechanical Engineering

The connecting rod is a critical mechanical component that transmits reciprocating motion from the piston to rotational motion in the crankshaft. Although connecting rods are traditionally manufactured from aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, or alloy steels, the demand for higher power-to-weight ratios has motivated the exploration of alternative materials supported by advanced computational validation methods. This study proposes a multilayer optimization framework for identifying the most suitable material for the connecting rod of a 110 cc four-stroke petrol engine. The component was modelled in Pro/ENGINEER, and high-fidelity Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed in ANSYS to evaluate the von Mises stress, …

Syllabus: Civic Heritage And The Power Of Place, Barry Stiefel

Barry Stiefel, Civic Heritage and the Power of Place

This interdisciplinary course explores the intersection of civic education, historic preservation, and public policy through the lens of place-based heritage. Students will examine how historic environments shape civic identity, memory, and belonging, while engaging with foundational American documents. Drawing on the principles of human-centered preservation, this course emphasizes emotional and experiential connections to historic sites and landscapes. . Through localized case studies and beyond, students will critically analyze how preservation practices can foster inclusive civic engagement and address social justice. Students will also engage with the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, selected Federalist Papers, and foundational …

Ai-Based Environmental Code Checking Tool For Sustainability Best Management Practices Of Infrastructure Construction Projects, Joseph J. Kim, Pooja D. Chavan

Mineta Transportation Institute

Infrastructure construction and operation are major contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, which account for approximately one-third of global CO₂ emissions and add to long-term environmental and air quality challenges. Sustainability rating systems such as Envision for infrastructure construction projects provide structured guidance to help teams reduce these impacts, but verifying compliance requires reviewing large volumes of project documents by hand, making the process time consuming and difficult to scale. Therefore, this research develops an AI-based environmental code checking tool that automates the interpretation of project documents and evaluates compliance on lifecycle GHG assessment under Credit CR1.2 of Envision—in other …

Sensing Safety: Developing A Flexible, Portable Alcohol Detection Patch For Community Wellness, Ava Hedayatipour, Ryan Huynh, Wahaab Ademola

Mineta Transportation Institute

Alcohol-impaired driving remains one of the leading causes of traffic fatalities and serious injuries in the United States, posing significant challenges to transportation safety and imposing substantial social and economic costs. Although breathalyzers and wearable alcohol monitoring devices can help detect alcohol consumption, many existing technologies are expensive, bulky, or impractical for continuous, long-term monitoring. This study investigates a lowcost electrochemical sensing platform that could support future wearable alcohol monitoring systems for transportation safety applications. Specifically, the report presents the design, fabrication, and experimental evaluation of a custom screen-printed electrode (SPE) integrated with the Texas Instruments LMP91000 potentiostat. Each disposable …
