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 …

Steatotic Mass Secondary To Heterozygous Hemochromatosis, A Rare Case Of Biliary Obstruction, Saddam Zaidi Md, Cheng-Hung Tai, Joanna Gibson Md, Phd, Caroline Loeser

Posters

Heterozygous Hemochromatosis (HH) is a genetic disorder that increases iron absorption. Carriers of the C282Y HFE gene mutation have a higher risk of developing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Research indicates a significant association between liver fat accumulation (steatosis) and fibrosis in HH. This case involves a 31-year-old male with HH and an uncommon biliary obstruction caused by focal fat infiltration.

Amyloidosis: A Rare Cause Of Pan-Dysmotility, Rofinna Johnkennedy Md, Mph, Cheng-Hung Tai, Alexa Plato Md, Department Of Medicine,

Posters

Amyloidosis is a rare systemic infiltrative disease, with a prevalence estimated to be 6-10 cases per million person-years. It involves the extracellular deposition of beta-sheet fibrillar protein and can manifest in any organ system in the body. Diagnosis of gastrointestinal involvement of amyloidosis can be difficult, given its nonspecific symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, dysphagia, and diarrhea.

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 …

Project-Based Learning On Steam-Based Student's Worksheet With Ecoprint Technique: Effects On Student Scientific Reasoning And Creativity, Irdalisa Irdalisa, Paidi Paidi, Rashmi Ranjan Panigrahi, Erlia Hanum

Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan IPA

The use of conventional worksheets will likely limit students' ability to explore themselves and their critical and analytical thinking, which can enhance their scientific reasoning and creativity. This situation demands the need for student worksheets linked to technology, art, and mathematics to adapt to the demands of the times. This study aims to determine the effect of project-based learning by analyzing student worksheets based on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) using the eco-print technique on students’ scientific reasoning and creativity. This research is a quasi-experimental study. The research sample is 160 students of a public senior high school …

Losing Lives Despite “Lifesaving” Exceptions: Examining The Fatal Flaws Of Vague Abortion Bans And The Spectrum Of Medical Decisionmaking In Cancer Care, Kiersten Wood

Vanderbilt Law Review

On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court upended decades of precedent pertaining to reproductive health when it held that abortion fell outside the purview of constitutionally protected rights. Since then, conservative states have raced to institute stringent abortion bans, with many lacking explicit exceptions for pregnant individuals enduring medical emergencies that necessitate care. Ambiguous statutory language has induced a chilling effect in the medical arena, where providers risk criminal and civil liabilities by performing requested and medically recommended abortions for emergent patients when fetal development would risk the life of the pregnant individual. Seized in the crossfire of hyperpolarized politics, …

The Provenance Of A Pali- And Thai-Language Manuscript At The Rollins College Library: A Buddhist Book Of Merit And Its Long Journey From Southeast Asia To America, Wenxian Zhang

Faculty Publications

Through researching the provenance of a Buddhist manuscript written in the Pali and Thai languages currently held at Rollins, this article seeks to answer the question of how a religious document created in Thailand ended up in a liberal arts college library in America. Regarded as an act of devotion by many Buddhist followers in Southeast Asia, the use of folding manuscripts (samut khoi) has been observed for centuries. The folding manuscripts served as handbooks and chanting manuals for Buddhist monks, who often recited in religious ceremonies while paying tributes to the deceased, with the hope of reincarnation in a …

Switzerland: International Studies and Multilateral Diplomacy

‬ ‭ This study examines the dynamics of collaboration between international aid‬ ‭ organizations and civil society, using stunting in rural Indonesian communities as a case study.‬ ‭ Stunting, caused by chronic malnutrition during early childhood, leads to irreversible physical‬ ‭ and cognitive impairment. Addressing the cultural nuances of this issue requires integrated‬ ‭ efforts, highlighting the need to evaluate how international organizations can contribute‬ ‭ effectively.

The Green Divide: Investigating Possible Socioeconomic Inequities In Public Green Space Quality In Lisbon, Portugal, Paul Coffield

Portugal: Sustainability and Environmental Justice

Public green spaces are an essential element of urban design, providing numerous environmental, social, and health-related benefits to urban populations. This study assesses the quality of public green spaces across four neighborhoods of varying socioeconomic status in Lisbon, Portugal, asking ‘Are socioeconomic inequities in park quality present in Lisbon?’ While previous studies have assessed the spatial distribution of urban green space in Lisbon, this study focuses on the quality of Lisbon’s green spaces, as quality determines to what extent a green space benefits the community in which it is located. Four Lisbon parishes were selected based on their median gross …

Geothermal Best Practices And Economic Development: The Case Of Iceland And São Miguel Island, Walker Briggs

Portugal: Sustainability and Environmental Justice

Throughout human history, geothermal energy has been used for practical purposes, religious purposes, as a form of community engagement and as a natural heating system. Since the industrial revolution, the global community has relied on fossil fuels for energy production. Not only is the large-scale use of fossil fuels widely accepted internationally, but it is also extremely profitable for fossil fuel companies. This has had catastrophic impacts on climate change and the environment. Nations have recognized the dangers and negative impacts of the reliance on fossil fuels for energy production. Nations have been funding extensive research regarding renewable energy infrastructure …

The Impact Of The Nitrates Directive On The Portuguese Agricultural Sector, Ben Mayes

Portugal: Sustainability and Environmental Justice

The European Union’s 1991 Nitrates Directive was designed to mitigate agricultural nitrogen pollution to ground and surface waters, thereby alleviating its damaging effects to natural environments and human health. This study confirmed that its purpose and goals were justified by the positive linear relationship that exists between levels of agricultural fertilizer application and nitrogen ecosystem surplus. However, this policy has had several second-hand impacts on the Portuguese agricultural sector, such as imposing infrastructure implementation costs and forcing methodology changes. These impacts were examined in the context of the Esposende-Vila do Conde action program, which is within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone …
