Investigating The Intersection Of ‘God Of The Gaps’ And Noma, Francesca Hammerstein Feb 2025

Investigating The Intersection Of ‘God Of The Gaps’ And Noma, Francesca Hammerstein

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

This study explores the intersection between God-of-the-gaps arguments and whether these arguments cooperate with the guidelines of Stephen Jay Gould’s view of “non-overlapping magisteria” (NOMA). God-of-the-gaps arguments are used to explain current unexplained scientific phenomena by crediting God. If new scientific discoveries can eventually explain these phenomena, this would decrease the evidence for God. Three perspectives on this argument are explored: both theological and scientific arguments against God-of-the-gaps and an argument in favor of God-of-the-gaps. Through reading these perspectives, the findings suggest that each point of view presents an argument showing that God-of-the-gaps does not cooperate with the NOMA guidelines.

A Review Examining The Factors Contributory To The Socialization Of A Culture Of Environmental Stewardship, Colby Nixon Feb 2025

A Review Examining The Factors Contributory To The Socialization Of A Culture Of Environmental Stewardship, Colby Nixon

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

Environmental stewardship is an ambiguous but significant term meaning that responsibility for the environment — and its quality — is shared between all individuals who interact with it. As a culture-wide phenomena, it is correlated with a mutualistic relationship with nature and the Earth. My study responds to a question as to which and how variables contribute to a societal mindset of environmental stewardship. This review synthesizes numerous studies across diverse cultures and contexts to examine trends therein. In doing so, I discovered that religion, policy, human development, linguistics, and economic roles play a part in socializing environmental stewardship into …

中西合璧:对 2011 年和 2021 年台湾中学改革的师生观念对比研究, Yee Han Peter Joong, 李 珍 Feb 2025

中西合璧:对 2011 年和 2021 年台湾中学改革的师生观念对比研究, Yee Han Peter Joong, 李 珍

Chinese/English Journal of Educational Measurement and Evaluation | 教育测量与评估双语期刊

本项研究运用混合研究方法，对 2011 年与 2021 年台湾地区师生对于持续 12 年的基础教育改革的态度进行了对比分析。研究数据基于对 26 所抽样学校(2011 年 14 所， 2021 年 12 所)师生的调查问卷。研究重点分析了教师在教学或评价策略中的使用频率。两项研究的结果均揭示了一个现象:以教师为主导的课堂模式(如教师主导的谈话和提问教学法)占据主流，而以学生为中心的教学方法(如活动参与和小组合作)的应用则相对有限。此外，约有四分之一的学生反映，课堂上部分学生的行为对他们的学习造成了干扰。尤为引人关注的是，高风险考试仍是改革进程中的一大障碍，这种考试模式过分强调对知识的机械记忆，而非鼓励知识的创造性应用。其他地区的教育工作者可以从台湾地区的教育改革实践中吸取宝贵的经验教训。

Rapid Prediction Of Coastal Flooding With Deep Neural Networks, Ali Shahabi, Navid Tahvildari

Graduate Student Government Association Research Conference

With the increasing impact of climate change and relative sea level rise, low-lying coastal communities face growing risks from extreme storm tides and recurrent nuisance flooding. Thus, timely and reliable predictions of coastal water levels are critical to resilience in vulnerable coastal areas. Over the past decade, enormous efforts have been made to utilize machine learning (ML) based data-driven models for the emulation and prediction of storm tides. However, flood advisory systems still rely on running computationally demanding real-time hydrodynamic models. because developing highly reliable ML-based models suitable for real-time forecasting and capable of capturing any surge levels is challenging. …
