Asian Americans Perceptions Of Mental Health Help-Seeking, Austin Dye
Asian Americans Perceptions Of Mental Health Help-Seeking, Austin Dye
Masters Theses
Mental health has critical importance in the development and functioning of an individual emotionally, psychologically, and socially throughout life. Thus, it is important for an individual to identify mental health issues when experiencing it and seek treatment. However, this understanding appears to differ across cultures and ethnic groups. For instance, Asians in the US have low mental health service utilization. Although researchers have sought to identify the reason, many of these studies are dated, and have not fully explored all the different factors that influence this behavior, nor explored if there are generational differences. In the current study, 102 Asians …

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Special Education Students In The Mainstream Classrooms, Nikki L. Evens
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This systematic review of the literature aimed to understand the advantages of placing special education students in mainstream classrooms and identify barriers to positive experiences among special education students. Findings from secondary data showed inclusion creates a stimulating learning environment, improves access to role models, and enhances self-respect and self-esteem. However, challenges like low self-esteem and resentment may contribute to feelings of exclusion among special education students. The findings of this study could be improved in the future by collecting primary data using surveys and interviews and recruiting a large sample to capture in-depth insights on the topic.

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
This is a large-scale, multi-author collaborative autoethnographic study exploring the concept of building a tangible teaching commons on the example of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Commons Conference. The project organizers sought to provide a big tent and extended an invitation to attendees to respond to a series of writing prompts about their conference experience. Collaborative writing took place asynchronously over an approximately 60-day period following the close of the conference and generated ≈ 20,000 words. This corpus became the basis for a three-stage emergent coding process, conducted by the four-member steering commit-tee, which led to the identification …
Pink Tax And Other Tropes, Bridget J. Crawford
Pink Tax And Other Tropes, Bridget J. Crawford
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Law reform advocates should be strategic in deploying tax tropes. Through an examination of five common tax phrases—the “nanny tax,” “death tax,” “soda tax,” “Black tax,” and “pink tax”—this Article demonstrates that tax rhetoric is more likely to influence law when used to describe specific economic injustices resulting from actual government duties, as opposed to figurative inequalities. In comparison, slogans describing figurative taxes are less likely to influence law and human behavior, even if they have descriptive force in both popular and academic literature as a short-hand for group-based disparities. This Article catalogues and evaluates what makes for effective tax …

Code Execution Capability As A Metric For Machine Learning–Assisted Software Vulnerability Detection Models, Daniel Grahn, Lingwei Chen, Junjie Zhang
Code Execution Capability As A Metric For Machine Learning–Assisted Software Vulnerability Detection Models, Daniel Grahn, Lingwei Chen, Junjie Zhang
Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications
In this paper, we consider how the ability to learn Code Execution Tasks affects a model’s accuracy on software vulnerability detection (SVD) benchmark datasets. We initially find that models can achieve near state-of-the-art accuracy on SVD benchmarks regardless of their ability to learn Code Execution Tasks. However, these models fail to generalize well across SVD benchmarks. The results indicate a bias in the datasets that allows models to predict non- SVD signals. Under the theory that different collection methods will reduce biases, we investigate combining the SVD datasets. When trained on combined datasets, SVD accuracy is reduced but correlation with …

Adversarial Explanations For Text-Based Local Surrogate Models, Christopher Burger
Adversarial Explanations For Text-Based Local Surrogate Models, Christopher Burger
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
LIME has emerged as one of the most commonly referenced tools in explainable AI (XAI) frameworks that is integrated into critical machine learning applications–e.g., healthcare and finance. However, its stability remains little explored, especially in the context of text data, due to the unique challenges when it comes to perturbing the underlying data, data that requires a stricter measure of semantic and syntactic consistency. To address these challenges, we first evaluate the inherent instability of LIME on text data to establish a baseline, and then propose a novel algorithm XAIFOOLER to perturb text inputs and manipulate explanations that casts investigation …
Passerby To Sonder: How Black Literary Sources Use Dance To Carve Out Relational Possibility, Zion Martin-Hayes
Passerby To Sonder: How Black Literary Sources Use Dance To Carve Out Relational Possibility, Zion Martin-Hayes
English Honors Papers
This thesis outlines the raw phenomenon of humans to exist in relation to each other as “passersby,” unaware of their tendencies towards desire and lack, when they should pursue “sonder,” the awareness that someone else’s life is as equally complex as your own. Relationality looks like a performance of bodies when it should embody the essence of dance. The performance of bodies equates to the purpose of passersby to prioritize movement as a way to remain unattentive of personhood. Whereas in dance, an appreciation for stillness to the same degree of movement brings people to sonder as a way to …
Paper Gowns, Cold Hands, Or Something Else? Black Women's Barriers To Gynecologic Screening, Nadia Ayesha Sesay
Paper Gowns, Cold Hands, Or Something Else? Black Women's Barriers To Gynecologic Screening, Nadia Ayesha Sesay
Theses and Dissertations--Communication
Cervical cancer mortality burden is carried disproportionately by African American women. Early indicators of cervical cancer are identified through prevention screening, a procedure typically performed by a gynecologist. Ideally, the patient group with the most severe mortality would likewise be the group with the most robust communication exchange with their physician to prevent cervical cancer incidence. However, a slew of factors contributes to continued mortalities among Black women. This study uses semi-structured interviews (n=10) and the health belief model to examine one barrier to Black women’s prosocial behaviors regarding routine gynecologic care—awkwardness, which here is conceptualized as social anxiety. The …

The graphical models built using PyGrapher will then be converted to a form that is suitable for input to the Capri system. The PyGrapher system provides an intuitive means to build and manipulate evidential reasoning models as …
In-Between Space: Latinas Sharing Their Stories Of Cultural Integration, Maria Elena Fuster
In-Between Space: Latinas Sharing Their Stories Of Cultural Integration, Maria Elena Fuster
Art Therapy | Doctoral Dissertations
This study explores how an art-based narrative allows Latinas to explore their own experiences of cultural integration in a way that honors their lived experience. The women used art materials to help them explore their identities and, through this process, discovered new truths about themselves through their stories of living between, within, and outside of both cultures. The art acted as a catalyst to express feelings the women had never before questioned or recognized in themselves and, in doing so, allowed them to create meaning and discover parts of their identities they had never explored before. This further allowed the …

Buddhism And Its Role In Khmer Chicagoland: To Be Khmer Is To Be Buddhist., Linna Sophea
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
Theravada Buddhism has been practiced among Cambodian refugees in the United States since the mid-1970s. In Chicago, the Cambodian community built a temple in which to practice their religion after founding the Cambodian Association in 1976. There have been two temples in the Chicagoland suburbs and metropolitan area. They have demonstrated respect for and embodied the preservation of their traditions and identity in a new environment through the accomplishments and ideals they uphold today. My research topic is “Buddhism and its role in Khmer Chicagoland: To be Khmer is to be Buddhist.” My research questions are: why do Cambodians in …
Local Radio Journalists’ Usage And Perception Of Artificial Intelligence In The Production Of Local News, Imani Nia Springer-Norris
Local Radio Journalists’ Usage And Perception Of Artificial Intelligence In The Production Of Local News, Imani Nia Springer-Norris
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
The study of human-machine communication seeks to explore journalists’ opinions and perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) in the newsmaking process, but few studies explore the impact of artificial intelligence on local news, particularly local nonprofit radio journalism. In a case study of a midwestern NPR affiliate, nine local radio journalists were interviewed about how they use AI technology at their local station and their opinions about the role of artificial intelligence as a communicator. My results showed that local radio journalists were primarily using AI for transcription, but that the station was experimenting with other AI tools for the purpose …
Immigrants Or Prostitutes? "White Slavery" Panics And Reform In France, England, And The United States, 1885-1915, Journey Steward
Immigrants Or Prostitutes? "White Slavery" Panics And Reform In France, England, And The United States, 1885-1915, Journey Steward
Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations
The late nineteenth century ushered in an era of global moral panic focusing on prostitution, venereal disease, and working-class female immigrants’ sexuality. By the early 1900s, European and American social reformers cooperated with national governments and immigration bureaus to stop “white slavery,” or the forced movement of white European and American women worldwide for purposes of commercial sex. This dissertation focuses on international trafficking in women and the ways in which accompanying moral panics developed from 1885 to 1915. It demonstrates how middle-class and nationalist assumptions about lower class sexuality, prostitution, and migration resulted in bourgeois social reform that influenced …

Language Matters: Evaluating How Linguistic And Visual Differences In Financial Documents Impact Financial Reporting In Hospitals, Alicia Irwin
Theses and Dissertations--Accountancy
Hospital financial assistance policies (FAPs) should inform uninsured and under-insured patients about options available to assist with their medical expenses. However, language and visual rhetoric variations in these documents may deter otherwise qualified patients from applying to programs meant to relieve their financial obligations. This project explores how visual rhetoric and linguistic differences such as tone and readability, in financial assistance policy documents may influence community benefit reporting in hospitals as a consequence of patient engagement in the application process.
Visual rhetoric and design, as well as linguistic style variation can have a profound impact on program utilization and financial …

Risk-taking is a leap into a space that has not been mapped. Who knows where or how you will land? Consider the following:
- A student completes a portrait drawing, then cuts it into strips and weaves it into another drawing. The result is an intricate yet beautiful image that addresses the complexity of identity that viewers can reassemble in multiple ways, beyond the control of the artist. The art student had never attempted such a work before.
