The urban peoples of the Swahili coast traded across eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean and were among the first practitioners of Islam among sub-Saharan people1,2. The extent to which these early interactions between Africans and non-Africans were accompanied by genetic exchange remains unknown. Here we report ancient DNA data for 80 individuals from 6 medieval and early modern (ad 1250–1800) coastal towns and an inland town after ad 1650. More than half of the DNA of many of the individuals from coastal towns originates from primarily female ancestors from Africa, with a large proportion—and occasionally more than half—of the …
Teacher Perception Of K-5 Students' Social Emotional Health, Scott Self
Teacher Perception Of K-5 Students' Social Emotional Health, Scott Self
Online Theses and Dissertations
Education has grown in complexity. Educational stakeholders are perpetually caught within the debate of what constitutes best practices. However, “the delicate fabric of the civilization into which successive generations are woven has unraveled, . . .” (Bloom, 1988, p. 57). Bereft of much of the traditional social and emotional family support, contemporary students have been yielding diminishing school engagement and waning school success. With students’ social-emotional health teetering toward the unhealthy, educators must accept, and therefore learn to thrive in the recursive nature of best practices, all while attempting to salvage their pupils’ social and emotional health (SEH). Thus, the …

Blood And Oil: How Vampiric Literature Bolsters Big Oil’S Power, Sarah Marie Demond
Blood And Oil: How Vampiric Literature Bolsters Big Oil’S Power, Sarah Marie Demond
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
This thesis examines the relationship between blood and oil, that is, the multitude of ways in which the petromodernity industries harvests and threatens vitality. The introduction of this thesis is concerned tracking how petromodernity is a byproduct, offspring, or extension of colonialism. In this way, petromodernity can be thought about as “petro-colonialism.” Ursula K. LeGuin’s “Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction” informs the argument that the way thay petro-colonialism came to be and also maintains itself is by utilizing the “killer story.” This thesis also employs autorheoretical techniques informed by Lauren Fournier to show how petro-colonialism or “oiliness” sticks to its …
Theory Of Care, Gabriella Ann Graceffo
Theory Of Care, Gabriella Ann Graceffo
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
With a backdrop of the body and its inner forms, Theory of Care is a collection of poems and lyric excerpts that explores themes of queer sexuality, physical and mental health, etymology, desire, and physicality. It coheres moments of internal reckoning with an exploration of how trauma lives in the body, particularly the queer femme body. By accessing various landscapes including the medical sphere, family dynamics, and the social environments of the South, the collection grapples with different vernaculars to question how the language used to discuss (or dismiss) trauma dramatically alters the perception of those experiences.
Haunted Forms: Intermediality, Trauma, And Literary Memory, Gabriella Graceffo
Haunted Forms: Intermediality, Trauma, And Literary Memory, Gabriella Graceffo
Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers
This thesis considers contemporary literature’s use of intermediality as a method to heighten the affective embodiment of PTSD symptoms represented in text. Using the meaning-making structures of photography and film, the analysis examines how the writing of Georges Bataille, Annie Ernaux, Michael Ondaatje, and Bhanu Kapil use formal implicit reference—the type of intermediality in which the characteristics and semiotics of one medium are translated to another without direct reproduction—to represent both traumatic experiences themselves and the symptom domains of PTSD. Caroline Levine’s work on affordance theory from Forms: Whole, Rhythm, Hierarchy, Network provides a theoretical foundation as to how the …

Fake News Detection Using Natural Language Processing, Fabiolla Mayrink Costa, Rael Guimaraes
ICT
Nowadays with the advance of technologies we have vast access to any sort of information. We are able to use our phone/computer to access the news of any part of the world. It is great to keep us informed about everything that is happening around the world. It is also a powerful tool used for companies while making strategic business decisions. The biggest issue is that technology can and is being used to manipulate people/companies by propagating fake news. Fake news can mislead people's perceptions while forming opinions on a determined subject. It can also have a big impact on …
Unlocking The Pragmatics Of Emoji: Evaluation Of The Integration Of Pragmatic Markers For Sarcasm Detection, Niamh Farnham
Unlocking The Pragmatics Of Emoji: Evaluation Of The Integration Of Pragmatic Markers For Sarcasm Detection, Niamh Farnham
ICT
Emojis have become an integral element of online communications, serving as a powerful, under-utilised resource for enhancing pragmatic understanding in NLP. Previous works have highlighted their potential for improvement of more complex tasks such as the identification of figurative literary devices including sarcasm due to their role in conveying tone within text. However present state-of-the-art does not include the consideration of emoji or adequately address sarcastic markers such as sentiment incongruence. This work aims to integrate these concepts to generate more robust solutions for sarcasm detection leveraging enhanced pragmatic features from both emoji and text tokens. This was achieved by …

Automatic Enrollment With A 12 Percent Default Contribution Rate, Josh Beshears, Ruofei Guo, David Laibson, Brigitte C. Madrian, James J. Choi
Automatic Enrollment With A 12 Percent Default Contribution Rate, Josh Beshears, Ruofei Guo, David Laibson, Brigitte C. Madrian, James J. Choi
Faculty Publications
We study a retirement savings plan with a default contribution rate of 12 percent of income, which is much higher than previously studied defaults. Twenty-five percent of employees had not opted out of this default 12 months after hire; a literature review finds that the corresponding fraction in plans with lower defaults is approximately one-half. Because only contributions above 12 percent were matched by the employer, 12 percent was likely to be a suboptimal contribution rate for employees. Employees who remained at the 12 percent default contribution rate had average income that was approximately one-third lower than would be predicted …

Negotiating The Messiness Of Teaching Linguistic Justice Online: Reflections Of Multilingual Writing Instructors During Covid, Forster Kudjo Agama, Marcela Hebbard, Bernadette M. López-Fitzsimmons
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications
This qualitative phenomenological study explores how multilingual writing instructors define linguistic justice and how they incorporate linguistic justice in their online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. The global health crisis officially declared in March 2020, pushed educators around the world to become online instructors overnight. This rapid move to an online environment magnified technology, language, race, and socioeconomic inequalities. In higher education, online environments are prone to linguistic inequalities and linguistic racism. For decades, scholars in the field of composition have argued that in order to dismantle elitist monolingual ideologies, writing instructors, multilingual and monolingual alike, should investigate their own …

The Backchannel: A Re/Turn To Digital Communities, Andrew Hollinger, Manny Piña
Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications
This article provides a novel theorization of what community-building means—and how it might happen—in digitally mediated teaching and learning environments. We argue for the value in understanding community through a distributed (read: non-human), non-institutionalized lens. We begin by re/turning the definition/s of the backchannel; we then theorize about the instructional and professional values of the backchannel using autoethnographic narratives drawn from our time as doctoral students in a fully online, synchronous graduate program. Finally, we conclude by drawing attention to implications and problems and potentials of our theorization of the backchannel.

Self-Censoring On Social Media Sites, Talia A. Feshbach , '23
Self-Censoring On Social Media Sites, Talia A. Feshbach , '23
Senior Theses, Projects, and Awards
Many users of social media sites self-censor by using character replacements or euphemisms to obscure the language they are using. The reasons for doing so vary from trying to avoid other users finding their posts in searches to evading censorship from site administration to adapting to site culture. This paper seeks to answer whether or not there is an association between reasons for self-censoring and tactics used for self-censoring. It also examines three sites where self-censoring is in different forms and amounts - Tumblr, Twitter, and TikTok - and how the tactics and reasons for self-censoring appear on those sites. …
Natural Language Processing In Legal Tech, Jens Frankenreiter, Julian Nyarko
Natural Language Processing In Legal Tech, Jens Frankenreiter, Julian Nyarko
Scholarship@WashULaw
Natural language processing techniques promise to automate an activity that lies at the core of many tasks performed by lawyers, namely the extraction and processing of information from unstructured text. The relevant methods are thought to be a key ingredient for both current and future legal tech applications. This chapter provides a non-technical overview of the current state of NLP techniques, focusing on their promise and potential pitfalls in the context of legal tech applications. It argues that, while NLP-powered legal tech can be expected to outperform humans in specific categories of tasks that play to the strengths of current …
Moore: The Overlooked Excise Power, Conor Clarke
Moore: The Overlooked Excise Power, Conor Clarke
Scholarship@WashULaw
Moore v. United States, a constitutional challenge to the mandatory repatriation tax in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, has been litigated almost entirely as a case about the scope of the Sixteenth Amendment. I present an alternative theory: The repatriation tax doesn’t need to flow from the Sixteenth Amendment power to tax “incomes,” because it flows from Congress’s Article I power to lay and collect “excises.” The Supreme Court has long upheld Congress’s power to tax business earnings and activities as a valid exercise of the excise power, and the mandatory repatriation tax fits within that framework. The repatriation …

Let’S Practice: Shaping Crisis Management Of Preservice Counseling Professionals, Yuleinys A. Castillo, Jason Cartwright, Mandy Greaves, Suzanne Maniss
Counseling Faculty Publications
Counselors frequently encounter crises in practice with various factors shaping crisis management. However, limited preparation and training combined with personal and situational characteristics affect a counselors’ ability to properly handle a crisis. The purpose of the present study was to identify factors that could potentially affect the ability to handle a crisis in session among counselors-in-training and add to the understanding of self-efficacy in crisis counseling. The study consisted of participants enrolled in a practicum pre-service course in a CACREP accredited program. Results were analyzed through a narrative research approach, specifically a categorical-content narrative analysis, theory-driven thematic analysis and cross-case …
National Emissaries For Preventive Healthcare. Visiting Nurses In Interwar Bulgaria And Yugoslavia, Evguenia Davidova
National Emissaries For Preventive Healthcare. Visiting Nurses In Interwar Bulgaria And Yugoslavia, Evguenia Davidova
History Faculty Publications and Presentations
In the interwar period, as part of a wholesale reorganization of public healthcare, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia saw the emergence of a new healthcare protagonist: the visiting nurse. Grounded in archival materials, by means of an analysis that intertwines gender and class, this article argues that the visiting nurse became a crucial (and cheaper) link between the hospital and the home in the fight against social diseases and reducing child mortality. These social interactions were often mediated by international humanitarian organizations. In this context, the visiting nurse serves as another bridge—this time between national and international public health policies. Visiting nurses …

The Effectiveness Of The Implementation Of A Multifactorial Life Skills Manual In A Residential Substance Use Treatment Facility, Jennifer Anderson
OTD DEx Reports - College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences
"In 2017, 35% of families and 44% of domestic violence survivors residing in shelters reported concerns about their ability to function in work and social environments (Schultz-Krohn & Quinn, 2018). It is crucial to view this vulnerable population with a trauma-focused care lens. In 2020, 8% of transgender adults experienced homelessness and were twice as likely over cis- gendered individuals (Van Dyke & Blaskowlitz, 2022). Individuals who experience substance use typically have underlying, unresolved trauma. Most of this population has experienced some form of domestic violence."
