Analyzing Surface Spectral Signature Shifts In Fire-Affected Areas Of Elko County Nevada, Ibtihaj Ahmad, Haroon Stephen

Civil and Environmental Engineering and Construction Faculty Research

This study investigates post-fire vegetation transitions and spectral responses in the Snowstorm Fire (2017) and South Sugarloaf Fire (2018) in Nevada using Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) surface reflectance imagery and unsupervised ISODATA classification. By comparing pre-fire and post-fire conditions, we have assessed changes in vegetation composition, spectral signatures, and the emergence of novel land cover types. The results revealed widespread conversion of shrubland and conifer-dominated systems to herbaceous cover with significant reductions in near-infrared reflectance and elevated shortwave infrared responses, indicative of vegetation loss and surface alteration. In the South Sugarloaf Fire, three new spectral classes emerged post-fire, …

Circulating Inflammatory Biomarkers And Endometriosis Lesion Characteristics In The Wise Consortium, Kathryn L. Terry, Amy Shafrir, Ashley Laliberte, Allison F. Vitonis, Kurtis Garbutt, Mary Depari, Christian Becker, Naoko Sasamoto, Krina T. Zondervan, Stacey A. Missmer

Health Sciences Faculty Publications

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition requiring surgical or imaging visualization for definitive diagnosis. How endometriotic lesion characteristics relate to circulating inflammatory markers remains unclear. We evaluated 11 inflammatory biomarkers, including interleukin (IL)-1β, -6, -8, -10, -16, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC), monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, -4, and Interferon gamma-induced protein (IP)-10, in 566 participants with endometriosis from the Women’s Health Study: From Adolescence to Adulthood (A2A), Endometriosis Oxford Care & Research (CaRe) study (ENDOX) and Endometriosis: Natural History, Diagnosis, and Outcome (ENDO) study to evaluate associations with endometriosis characteristics, including macrophenotype (superficial lesions only, …

Reducing Motor Vehicle – Bicycle Conflicts At Controlled Intersections, Jason C. Anderson, Sirisha Kothuri

PSU Transportation Seminars

One of the most common locations for fatal motor vehicle-bicyclist crashes is at intersections, which inherently have a large number of turning conflicts. Reducing these conflicts is a key objective in improving intersection safety across all modes. Of particular concern for bicyclists’ safety at intersections are the conflicts between straight-through bicyclists and motor vehicle right-turns and opposing left-turns. The objective of this research was to develop guidance and tools for transportation practitioners to use to reduce turning conflicts between motor vehicles and bicycles at controlled intersections and improve the safety and comfort of intersections for bicyclists.

Redefining Section 230 Immunity, Lucas Dini

Seattle University Law Review

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act has provided broad immunity to online platforms for third-party content which was the foundation for the internet's growth. However, the rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to produce algorithms to curate content to users of online services has blurred the line between being a passive host of third party content and active editorial control. This Note examines the legal, policy, and constitutional implications of applying Section 230 immunity to platforms that use AI to curate and promote third-party content. This analysis argues that algorithmic promotion of third-party content constitutes a platform's …

Overcrowding The System: Rethinking Juvenile Justice In Washington State, Mckenna White

Seattle University Law Review

The recent crisis at Green Hill School highlights the detrimental consequences of severe overcrowding in Washington State’s Juvenile Rehabilitation system—a problem exacerbated by the implementation of the JR to 25 legislation. This Note argues that the juvenile rehabilitation system, which is currently struggling to manage a wide age range of offenders, necessitates a fundamental rethinking of juvenile justice practices. By examining neurological research indicating continued brain development into the mid-twenties, along with the high prevalence of trauma among justice-involved youth, this Note proposes the creation of a dedicated third system of care within the Department of Children, Youth, and Families …

Exploration Psychology: Preparing Explorers More Effectively For Expeditions., Jon Rhodes

School of Psychology

Exploration environments expose individuals and teams to prolonged uncertainty, physical risk, and cognitive strain. Despite advances in expedition technology and logistics, psychological preparation for extreme environments remains comparatively underdeveloped. This presentation introduces the concept of exploration psychology as an applied framework for preparing individuals and teams to function effectively in high-risk and unpredictable expedition contexts. Drawing on research from performance psychology, stress physiology, and cognitive science, the talk outlines how psychological mechanisms underlying fear, attention, and decision-making influence behaviour in extreme environments. Fear responses involve rapid amygdala activation followed by potential top-down regulation through prefrontal cognitive appraisal, shaping behavioural responses …

Post-Doctoral Intensities And Becomings In Writing, Mary Catherine Garland

Professional Services

This experimental poem emerged from thousands of words of prose written after completing a much-loved PhD. With writing often becoming trapped, insisting on circling the same themes, changing from prose to verse has been freeing: releasing academic writing from its usual constraints, enabling something other to emerge.

Research Question: This study explores how professional women soccer players in the U.S. perceived the role of institutional actors in value co-creation during a pivotal period in the sport’s development. It examines the marketing responsibilities players were expected to undertake and how this labor shaped their experiences and self-perceptions. Research Methods: Guided by value co-creation and value realization frameworks, this study draws on semi-structured interviews with 22 current and former professional women soccer players. Data were analyzed in two stages: first cycle coding, followed by pattern coding to consolidate labor themes into constructs reflecting athletes’ experiences of institutional support, promotional …

Structure And Legitimation In Capitalism: Law, Power, And Justice In Market Society, Yochai Benkler

Law and Contemporary Problems

This article introduces a new institutional political economy of capitalism that explains the distinctive dynamics that drive sustained productivity growth, recurring social dislocation, and persistent patterns of exploitation in modern market societies. It then analyzes the role of law in structuring social relations of production in capitalism and legitimating those structures so as to stabilize the asymmetric social relations they create. Law structures social relations of production by allocating control over labor, knowledge, natural resources, and technology, as used for purposes of both subsistence and market-oriented production, as well coordination and cooperation in labor and investment processes, access to means …

Literature Across Generations; The Old Javanese Epic Poem "Bhāratayuddha" Translated Into Modern Javanese, Keiko Kamiishi

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a revival movement of classical Javanese (Kawi) literature arose in the royal courts of south Central Java. As part of this revival, Old Javanese literary works were rewritten in Modern Javanese, giving Javanese people at that time renewed access to their literary heritage. The paper deals with a specific manuscript, Add MS 12279 in the British Library, which contains Modern Javanese word-for-word and line-for-line “translations” inserted between lines of the Old Javanese epic poem Bhāratayuddha. The unique structure of the manuscript reveals the translation strategies used to address the challenges of balancing the …

Addressing The Root Of Housing Insecurity: Washington Should Divest From “Crime-Free” Housing Programs, Sarah Cerdena

Seattle University Law Review

Crime-Free Rental Housing Properties (CFRHPs) have proven to be an ineffective and inequitable approach to public safety. Often, tenants in these properties are evicted—at times, extrajudicially—as a result of conduct that does not rise to violations of their lease provisions, much less criminal behavior. By placing extraordinary power in the hands of local law enforcement to carry out these ordinances, CFRHPs predictably pose significant harm to Black and Latinx communities, survivors of domestic violence, disabled tenants, and low-income tenants generally. Recently, the Washington State Supreme Court grappled with the tensions arising between CFRHPs and the enforcement of Washington landlord-tenant law. …

Supporting Clinical Identification Of Children With Sensory Integration Challenges: A Decision Guide For Primary Care Providers, Shelly J. Lane, Sarah A. Schoen, Roseann Schaaf, Anita Bundy, Zoe Mailloux, Susanne Smith Roley, Teresa A. May-Benson, L. Diane Parham

Department of Occupational Therapy Faculty Papers

Background: Children and youth often have challenges processing and integrating sensory information. These increasingly common challenges and can significantly impact development, learning, behavior, well-being, and participation in everyday activities. Since children with sensory integration challenges, with or without other concerns, are likely to present first to their primary care provider (PCP), it is important that they have resources about sensory integration challenges and their impact on the child or the need to refer these children for further assessment and intervention. Our aim is to assist PCPs in their clinical decision-making.

Methods: We conducted a narrative review of CINAHL, PsychInfo, and …

Sleep And Sleep Disorders: Much More Than How Long You Sleep, What Truly Matters Is How You Sleep, Teresa Arora, Claudia R.C. Moreno

All Works

Since the discovery of electroencephalography to measure brain activity in 1924, sleep research has rapidly advanced. Contemporary sleep research no longer focuses on the length of sleep and the consequences of sleep loss. Instead, a multitude of sleep parameters, such as sleep duration, quality, irregularity, health, and disordered sleep, now inform the sleep science community about the importance of sleep in relation to health, performance, cognitive, cultural, and clinical outcomes through diverse study designs, equipment, and across a range of populations. This special issue on sleep and its disorders has shown us how diverse and widespread the study of sleep …

Upkeeping A Religious Foundation From Time To Time; A Case Study Of "Dharma I Salingsingan" (Ninth–Tenth Century Ce), Tyassanti Kusumo Dewanti, Eko Bastiawan, Kezia Permata, Hedwi Prihatmoko

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

The toponym Salingsingan is observed in several inscriptions spanning the period 791-836 Śaka (869-914 CE), through the reigns of King Lokapāla until King Daksa. Its occurrences are attributed to an area where a religious foundation was established. From these occurrences, we see several interesting topics to explore regarding the sīma institution, religious foundations (dharma), and the toponymy of early Central Java. Our aim is to demonstrate the management of the dharma of Salingsingan and to determine its present-day location by combining epigraphical records and archaeological remains. The research will first try to lay a foundation of what is …
