Potential Mediators In The Relationship Between Racial Identity And Neuropsychological Performance In A Retired Nfl Cohort, Claire Stafford, Charles Golden, Ryan Bennett

Archives of Assessment Psychology

Historically, Black Americans have consistently performed more poorly than White Americans on various neuropsychological tests, with debates surrounding the causes of these differences ranging from genetic to societal factors. These differences have been documented across various cognitive domains, including memory, attention, executive function, and processing speed. Findings from previous research suggest that individuals with higher levels of education and stable marital relationships tend to exhibit better cognitive functioning, while certain football positions are linked to differences in cognitive abilities. However, the specific effects of these factors on neuropsychological performance require further investigation. The present archival study was derived from a …

Intent-Obfuscation Attacks: Evading Ai Security By Manipulating Meaning, Pranav Bhatanagar Mr

Defensive Publications Series

As artificial intelligence systems increasingly rely on intent-based security mechanisms to regulate user behavior, the nature of adversarial interaction is undergoing a subtle but significant shift. Rather than attempting to bypass safeguards through explicit policy violations or recognizable malicious patterns, attackers are increasingly manipulating meaning itself. This paper introduces Intent-Obfuscation Attacks, a class of semantic evasion techniques that exploit the gap between surface-level language compliance and the underlying objectives inferred by AI systems. Unlike traditional prompt injection or keyword-based attacks, intent-obfuscation operates through linguistic ambiguity, contextual indirection, and gradual semantic drift. Individual interactions appear benign and policy-compliant, yet when interpreted …

Early Childhood Teachers’ Experiences Establishing Positive School-Home Relationships, Jayme Michelle Doyle

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The problem in this study was that at Windland Elementary School (WES; pseudonym) early childhood teachers experienced a 16% decrease in parent satisfaction with the school's ability to eliminate or reduce barriers to parent engagement. Framed by six types of activities that encompass family engagement from Epstein et al., the purpose of this study was to explore early childhood teachers' experiences in establishing and maintaining school-home relationships at WES. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with 10 Kindergarten through Grade 3 teachers who had at least 3 years’ teaching experience at WES. Thematic analysis using open coding yielded four key …

Hampton’S Legacies Across Black And Indigenous Education: Subhumanity, Genocide And Self-Determination Of The Past And Present, Arcasia D. James-Gallaway, M. Nathan Tanner, Francena F.L. Turner

College of Humanities and Social Sciences

How are Black and Indigenous education in the US related? How are antiBlackness and settler colonialism interconnected? This essay addresses these questions, reexamining the history of one of the only US schools to educate both groups: Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. To explore the contemporary legacies of Hampton, we bring together a race-centered historical methodology and Black and Indigenous studies perspectives. We argue that three enduring legacies – subhumanity, genocide and self-determination – with roots in the school itself frame the present, collective struggle for Black and Indigenous justice in education. This focus provides both historical and current insights with …

Can Palm Logs Float? Evaluating The Physical Viability Of Raft Transport For Rapa Nui Moai, Carl Philipp Lipo, Terry L. Hunt

Anthropology Datasets

Recent suggestions that palm log rafts may have transported moai statues on Rapa Nui require evaluation of whether fresh palm wood can provide sufficient buoyancy for multi-ton cargo. This analysis integrates experimental flotation tests, structural analyses of palm stem anatomy, and buoyancy calculations using modern palm analogs to reconstruct the extinct Rapa Nui palm. Fresh palm logs sink when placed in water because of their internal structure: stems consist of approximately 20% liquid by volume, contained within thousands of water-filled vascular tubes, surrounded by a thin, brittle cortex. This yields effective densities of 800-1,200 kg/m³ that approach or exceed seawater …

On Nunation (Tanwin) In Arabic Grammar: Notes And Questions, Fatima Yahyaoui

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

The (tanwiin تنوين) in Arabic is a suffix added to the noun, after the case vowel. In this article, we will attempt to make some observations on the definition of the content and nature of tanwiin in the Arabic language and its classifications as mentioned by Arabic grammarians. We will also ask some questions about its linguistic status and its complementary distribution with the determinant (al ال) in the common name in Arabic.

A Study Of Metaphor In Some Fassi Expressions, Bouchra Berrada

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

The metaphor remains the queen of linguistic figures where words are used with another meaning rather than the proper meaning. Its richness lies in the fact that its field of application expands until it covers all species of words: nouns, verbs, adjectives ... The violation or the disrespect of the laws of categorization does not give any abnormal structures; on the contrary, we have, quite simply, typical, original and metaphorical statements.

Interstices: Languages, Gender, And Symbols In Flux, Nadia Kaaouas

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

This volume explores language as a territory of confrontation where the sign becomes a tool of resistance against fixed structures. Through a multidisciplinary approach - ranging from grammatical morphology (Arabic, Berber) to literary semiotics (Khatibi, Ben Jelloun, Serhane)- the authors deconstruct power mechanisms and social norms. By analyzing textual subversion and gender dynamics, this volume offers a critical reflection on the mutations of Maghrebian society and the emergence of an imaginary of emancipation.

What Future For Moroccan Arabic In Morocco?, Zahra Zaid

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Our reflection is about the statute of Moroccan Arabic and his future. We are going to demonstrate with concrete examples if this language constructs or deconstructs itself in the movement of modernism that Morocco knows. We will also see the degree of implication of its users in this construction / deconstruction.

Violent Linguistic Behavior: A Psycholinguistic Approach, Mourad Mawhoub

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

The violence is a subject that concerns psychologists, sociologists, lawyers, educators and anthropologists. It also interests linguists and psycholinguists. First of all, the violence is a linguistic sign, a speech act that expresses an emotional attitude. It is a kind of conflicting interpersonal communication relating two or several persons in an antagonist and conflicting context. In this article, we will try to treat some psycholinguistic aspects of the violent speech. We will show how violent voice is phonetically produced. We will extract physiological factors and acoustical-physical parameters of violent vocalization. We will also show how violent voice reflects aggressive feels …

Ancient Berber Manuscripts In Arabic Script: Defining The Ultimate Objectives, Ouahmi Ould-Braham

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

Berber manuscripts written in Arabic characters are a field of scholarly interest since fifty years only. Where most public collections had only a few Berber manuscripts at their disposal, private collectors managed to build up important collections. Thanks to the ground breaking work of several berberologists, berber manuscripts developed during the last decennia, with obvious retardation, into an important theme of study.

Speech In Motion: Between Linguistic Heritage And Modernity, Nadia Kaaouas

Faits de Langue et Société (FLS)

This issue explores the dynamics of language as a seismograph of the mutations within Moroccan society, spanning from archival heritage to discursive modernity. Through a multidisciplinary approach (psycholinguistics, textometry, sociolinguistics), the authors analyze how speech negotiates identity, power, and creativity. From the study of ancient manuscripts and onomastics to the challenges facing Darija and political ethos, this volume bridges past memory with digital tools to decrypt what "speaking" signifies in society today.

Artificial Intelligence In Radiology: Hidden Fragilities And The Path To Resilience, Mustafa S. Alhasan

Saudi Medical Journal

Radiology artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing however its adoption faces fragile foundations that threaten sustainability. Despite bold promises of efficiency and accuracy, current deployment is undermined by weaknesses in economics, evidence, infrastructure, human factors, regulation, security, and environmental impact. Nearly 90% of radiology AI studies report process metrics rather than patient outcomes, while hidden costs elevate ownership to 400% to 500% of subscription fees. Technical fragilities include 25% or greater performance loss with routine protocol or scanner shifts, compounded by vendor consolidation that has eliminated 63% of companies since 2020, creating migration costs averaging 180,000 dollars per exit. Human factor …

Mignone, Fernandez, Guarnieri: Brazilian Guitar Music After Villa-Lobos, Fabio Zanon

Soundboard Scholar

This article challenges the widespread perception of Heitor Villa-Lobos as an isolated peak in Brazilian musical culture with no natural successors. The author focuses on the composers who followed Villa-Lobos—Francisco Mignone, Oscar Lorenzo Fernandez, and Camargo Guarnieri—arguing that their works deserve far more attention in international concert life, not least their contributions to the guitar repertoire.

These twentieth-century Brazilian composers are situated within a broader historical narrative that traces the impact of European colonial models, the delayed and contested formation of musical nationalism in Brazil, and the shifting aesthetic and political conditions of the twentieth century. Analytical discussions of representative …
