All HCAS Student Capstones, Theses, and Dissertations

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global crisis, with 1 in 6 bacterial infections being resistant to antibiotics and causing 40 million deaths between 1990 and 2021 worldwide. This threat has resulted in the demand for alternative therapies, like bacteriophage therapy which uses viruses to treat bacterial infections by killing them. Gordonia rubripertincta is a gram-positive bacterium that is found in various habitats: water, soil, and on the exterior of plants. Gordonia species are rare, however, they are emerging as opportunistic human pathogens that may cause various infections in any individual. G. rubripertincta infections occur from surgical complications with a catheter …

Reinforcement Learning-Guided Large Language Model Fine-Tuning For Privacy-Preserving Text Rewriting, Zhan Shi, Yefeng Yuan, Liang Cheng, Yuhong Liu Dec 2025

Reinforcement Learning-Guided Large Language Model Fine-Tuning For Privacy-Preserving Text Rewriting, Zhan Shi, Yefeng Yuan, Liang Cheng, Yuhong Liu

Computer Science and Engineering

The advancement of machine learning systems depends on large-scale, high-quality datasets. However, corpora drawn from user-generated and proprietary domains are often laden with sensitive information, posing significant privacy, security, and compliance risks. Conventional anonymization methods, which focus on removing explicit identifiers, can degrade downstream performance and leave the more nuanced challenge of implicit privacy leakage unresolved. This form of leakage allows for sensitive attributes such as author identity, demographics, or personality to be inferred from writing style alone. To address this, we present a privacy-preserving text rewriting framework based on guided reinforcement learning. Our approach features a composite reward function …

Medicaid Funding And Health-Related Social Needs: A Policy Analysis, Passion Ilea Dec 2025

Medicaid Funding And Health-Related Social Needs: A Policy Analysis, Passion Ilea

Dissertations and Theses

The U.S. has disproportionately high health care spending compared to other high-income nations and comparatively poor health outcomes. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have recently increased emphasis on addressing Medicaid member social needs. CMS believes addressing health-related social needs (HRSN) may reduce costs and improve health outcomes for Medicaid members. CMS has begun to test theories regarding the impact of member HRSN on health care by designing federal mechanisms to address HRSN, such as in lieu of services and settings-funded services, and by encouraging state Medicaid programs to develop their own approaches, such as Flexible Services. Information …

Dopaminergic Regulation Of Aversive Motivation, Elaine M. Grafelman Dec 2025

Dopaminergic Regulation Of Aversive Motivation, Elaine M. Grafelman

Dissertations (1934 -)

We all experience adversity in our lives, and we must be able to effectively respond to these challenges in order to thrive. One way to respond to stressors is to change one’s behavior to cope with the stress. This can include escaping or avoiding the stressor, focusing effort to diminish the effect of the stressor, or other coping strategies such as drug use. In fact, stress is one of the principal triggers of relapse for those in the abstinence phase of a substance use disorder and it exacerbates a variety of other disorders. Therefore, it is critical to understand the …
