Fighting With Data: Design Implications For Ai-Enabled Mission-Command Systems, C. Anthony Pfaff

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Fighting with Data examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping military decision making by changing both the speed of command and the structure of cognition within mission-command systems. Rather than treating AI as a tool that merely accelerates existing staff processes, this monograph recognizes AI redistributes cognitive labor across a network of people, data, tools, and operational processes. In this new environment, commanders and staffs spend less time assembling information and more time interpreting meaning, judging uncertainty, and deciding how to act.

This shift in the human role requires a new way of thinking about trust in military AI. Traditional …

The 10 authors of the various research articles and commentaries represent eight of Guatemala’s 22 Maya languages. What brings these essays into relationship with each other are the pragmatic concerns of strengthening Maya languages, such as providing academic, professional, and social services contexts for using and not merely maintaining these languages but helping them thrive. Each author in this special issue has actively worked in various ways to promote Mayan language and cultural knowledge preservation. As …

Who Owns Land, Who Owns Language? Challenging The Commercialization Of Indigenous Language Data, Matthew Riemland

Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis

As Indigenous scholars and activists have pointed out, the commercialization of Indigenous language data resembles the historical and ongoing dispossession of Indigenous land. Using Mayan languages as a case study, this article illustrates the process by which digital advertising platforms – Google and Meta – appropriate and benefit commercially from Indigenous language data, drawing parallels with the dispossession of Indigenous land. It identifies the significant costs of this commercialization to Indigenous communities, including the lack of compensation for the Indigenous language data’s commercial value, the distortion of Indigenous communities’ linguistic and cultural representation online, and the reinforcement of extractive relationships …

Rethinking Teacher Education Programs: (Mis)Understanding Of Culturally Responsive Teaching Among Teacher Candidates, Shirley M. Sommers

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

This article draws from a study conducted on pre-service teachers enrolled in a teacher education program. The study examines students’ understanding and misunderstanding of what constitutes culturally responsive teaching. This is a mixed methods study. A Likert-type survey and qualitative questionnaires were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze survey data, and a thematic coding method was used for analysis of qualitative data. The results of the study show that pre-service teachers are aware and knowledgeable of the term culturally responsive teaching as the term is widely used in the teacher education program in which they were …

A Systematic Review Of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Among Hispanic Immigrants In The United States, Rashel Acireale

Theses and Dissertations

This study systematically reviews the literature on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among Hispanic immigrants in the United States, a population exposed to cumulative trauma across the migration process. Stressors may occur before, during, and after migration and include violence, family separation, dangerous travel conditions, discrimination, and fear of deportation. Despite these risks, findings on PTSD prevalence remain mixed, and Hispanic immigrants are underrepresented in clinical research and culturally informed interventions. This review examines sample representation, types and timing of trauma, PTSD measurement approaches, and the inclusion of cultural and contextual factors such as acculturation and immigration-related stress. It also evaluates …

Evaluating Gender Equity In The Berenstain Bears Picture Books, Christy Tisnawijaya, Geni Kurniati

Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya

Picture books serve as a foundational medium in early childhood education, utilizing interrelated visual and verbal elements to foster linguistic, cognitive, and social development. Despite their pedagogical utility, certain literary works inadvertently perpetuate traditional gender roles, constraining children's conceptualizations of identity. This study evaluates gender representation within eleven selected titles of The Berenstain Bears series. Employing a qualitative multimodal content analysis, the study integrates Butler's gender performativity framework (1990), Callow's multimodal narrative approach (2020), and Adam and Harper's evaluative criteria (2021) to examine how domestic, social, and recreational roles are constructed. This study offers novelty by establishing a dual-lens multimodal …

Automated Flim-Fret Segmentation Within Rnp Condensates, Noah D Powell, Joshua M Marcus, Leyla E Fahim, Jason E Lee

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Ribonucleoprotein (RNP) condensates are membraneless organelles that exist alongside many RNA-driven processes, such as transcription and splicing. Despite their ubiquity, the biological necessity of forming a condensed phase remains unclear, particularly because the same RNP components exist both within these organelles and in the surrounding dilute phase. Most current methods for studying biochemical interaction dynamics within condensates rely on in vitro reconstitution of minimal factors or low-throughput single-molecule studies. However, RNP condensates are complex organelles containing tens to hundreds of proteins and hundreds to thousands of different RNAs. Here, we describe a scalable, high-throughput fluorescence microscopy–based approach to analyze protein–protein …

Introduction: Cancer is the most common cause of disease-related mortality in children, highlighting the urgent need for improved care in this population. It is estimated that >15% of children diagnosed with cancer harbour a germline pathogenic variant in a cancer predisposition gene which confers an increased risk to develop cancer. There are over 100 genes associated with cancer predisposition syndromes (CPSs) and greater availability and acceptability of genetic testing in the last decade has facilitated their recognition in childhood. However, individually, each of these CPSs is rare, impeding robust research and advancement of clinical care. Once a specific CPS is …

Chimneys In Twelfth-Century, Crusader-Period Residential Architecture In The Jerusalem Area, Michael Chernin, Zubair Adawi, Yehiel Zelinger

'Atiqot

Excavations conducted over the past several decades in the environs of Jerusalem uncovered several rural sites dating to the Crusader period, most likely settled by Frankish inhabitants. At two of these sites, remains of installations identified as chimneys were integrated into the walls of the buildings—an innovation in the rural architecture of the Land of Israel, probably introduced by Frankish settlers originating from Western Europe. This article presents the different types of chimneys exposed at the sites of Khirbat el-Kurum and Wadi el-Ḥaramiya. It discusses the archaeological evidence for the appearance of such installations at sites across the Frankish Levant, …

Gold Rings For Young Girls: Ritual Depositionof Children’S Jewelry In A Domestic Context In Hellenistic-Period Jerusalem, Marion Sindel, Efrat Bocher, Rikki Zalut Har-Tuv, Yuval Gadot, Yiftah Shalev

'Atiqot

This article examines four gold ornaments and three bronze earrings dated to the late third–early second centuries BCE, retrieved from Building 110 in the Givʽati Parking Lot (GPL) excavations in Jerusalem. Based on their intact state, intrinsic value and similar contexts, we propose that the artifacts were intentionally deposited in or below the building’s floors on different occasions. Technological and stylistic analyses connect the jewelry to broader Hellenistic polychrome traditions, and the exceptionally small rings suggest that they probably belonged to young children, most likely girls. Based on Greek epigraphic and literary evidence for female rites of passage, specifically premarital …

The Importance Of An ‘Unimportant’ Toy: Children In The Ancient Domestic Sphere, Rona S. Avissar Lewis

'Atiqot

This paper examines an often-overlooked sector of households: children. The paper first presents the importance of children within the framework of the household and society, pointing out significant references from textual sources and imagery, such as orthostats. Then, a set of artifacts identified in the archaeological record is presented, which may be defined as spinning toys, comprising two components: a string and a perforated object. The conclusions discuss the way these toys reflect on the importance of children in society.

There’S No Place Like Home: Identifying Women In Iron Age Houses, Deborah Cassuto

'Atiqot

From rural farmsteads to urban environments, the excavation of domestic contexts in the Southern Levant provides a rich dataset for investigating how households structured quotidian activities, social interactions, and meanings through spatial organization. This article examines how the material culture of Iron Age dwellings can aid in reconstructing patterns of behavior, social organization and ideologies pertaining to women. Comparing the contextual distribution of archaeological finds with ethnographic, ethnoarchaeological and textual data, can shed light on the use of space in Iron Age households and how this reflects on gender-associated activities and economic behaviors of the individuals who lived there. This …

The Rebirth Of The Shephelah In Early Iron Age Iia:A Domestic Complex At Tel Burna, Katja Epelbaum, Aharon Tavger, Andrea Orendi, Itzhaq Shai

'Atiqot

This study investigates a domestic complex discovered in the Early Iron Age IIA stratum of Tel Burna in the southern Shephelah. The complex consists of a two-story structure with an adjacent courtyard, each fulfilling distinct domestic roles. Preserved within a destruction layer, this context revealed a substantial assemblage of architectural features and installations, ceramic vessels, botanical remains and tools. These findings provide significant insights into two primary areas: the household economy and daily life in Early Iron IIA, and the settlement dynamics of the Shephelah during a formative period of sociopolitical transformation.

Slang In Tiktok Videos: A Study Of Linguistics And Its Implications On Bipa Informal Vocabulary Learning, Rahma Indri Cahya Havilah, Nuny Sulistiany Idris, Ida Widia

Jurnal Pendidikan: Teori, Penelitian, dan Pengembangan

Mastery of informal vocabulary is one of the main challenges for Indonesian as a Foreign Language (BIPA) learners, since slang on social media. Unfortunately, contextual and relevant teaching materials that cover slang for BIPA learners are limited. This study aims to identify the linguistic forms of slang language in TikTok videos, analyze their usage, and examine their implications for informal vocabulary learning in BIPA. The present study is descriptive-analytical with a linguistic approach, including phonological, morphological, pragmatic, and semantic analyses. Data were collected through observation and documentation of TikTok videos. This study reveals two particular linguistic forms, namely phonological and …

Statutory Co-Determination As A Fail-Closed Architectural Invariant Of A Governed Data Flow, Alexander Bering

Defensive Publications Series

Disclosed is a method for treating employee-representative oversight not as a policy layer above a system but as a structural precondition of the governed data flow itself: if oversight cannot be made visible, the flow does not happen. The disclosure pins six obligations (exactly one oversight record per flow keyed on the flow's correlation identity; written before delivery; fail-closed on failure of the oversight write; a machine-checked data class that fails closed to personal; the co-determination flag carried at flow granularity by the relationship between the two parties rather than by an application manifest; and an oversight history that survives …

Contradiction-Preserving Attributed Organisational Memory With Per-Contribution Erasure, Alexander Bering

Defensive Publications Series

Disclosed is a method for holding a memory shared by several members of one organisation such that conflicting statements are kept both, attributed, and marked contested rather than merged into one clean truth, and such that a single member's erasure removes that member's contributions without destroying a co-author's. The disclosure pins five obligations (provenance as a many-to-many edge rather than a column; attribution keyed on the chain-stable identity of a claim so that versioning does not sever co-authorship; corroboration yielding one record with two edges rather than a duplicate; granular per-contributor erasure with the record's standing re-derived from surviving edges; …

Credential-Bound Capability Chokepoint For Agent-Memory Access By Installed Applications, Alexander Bering

Defensive Publications Series

Disclosed is a species-level arrangement for governing an installed application's access to an agent memory through a single enforced facade, with four pinned properties: the acting identity and the data scope are derived from the presented credential and the installation record, never asserted by the caller; the invocation record is written before any output leaves; the application's own writes are readable back through the same door under an application-private provenance scope rather than through a second, ungoverned path; and the data resources an application may touch are declared in its manifest and separately granted in the installation ledger, with both …

Innovation And Control In Curriculum Reform: An Autobiographical Inquiry From A Seoul Future Innovation School, Sunyoung Kim

Journal of Educational Research and Practice

This autobiographical inquiry examines the lived experience of a teacher–researcher navigating curriculum reform within a centralized education system during her first year at a Seoul Future Innovation School. The study explores how policy ideals of curriculum autonomy, innovation, and student-centered learning encounter institutional realities of documentation, compliance, and performative accountability. Drawing on reflective journals and narrative reconstruction, the analysis identifies four tensions shaping reform enactment: the gap between reform discourse and school culture, the symbolic labeling of innovation, technocentric expectations that narrow curricular legitimacy, and the emotional labor of navigating stakeholder demands. The study illustrates how institutional conditions both constrain …

Clinicians’ Reflections On Explainable Ai (Xai) In Counselor Education And Diagnostic Training: An Exploratory Qualitative Study, Kuo Deng, Xiaomeng Ye, Yi Li-Brown, Cara Miles, Angelina F. Pennino

Journal of Technology in Counselor Education and Supervision

Current approaches to teaching clinical diagnosis in counselor education and supervision often

rely on self-reports, brief vignettes, and supervisors’ recollections—methods that can be resource- intensive and prone to bias, contributing to diagnostic inaccuracy among trainees. While artificial

intelligence (AI) has gained traction in healthcare, many machine learning (ML) models function as “black boxes,” limiting transparency and educator trust. Explainable AI (XAI), which focuses on making AI processes interpretable, offers a potential solution for counselor training. This exploratory qualitative study examined eight licensed psychologists’ reflections after viewing a live demonstration of an original XAI model trained to predict depression. Using Reflexive …

Exploring Chatgpt As A Simulated Client: A Feasibility Study In Undergraduate Counselor Training, Kayla E. Hayes, Rebecca L. Wilson, Joshua Wilson

Journal of Technology in Counselor Education and Supervision

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) offers new possibilities for simulation-based counselor training by enabling scalable, text-based interactions that mimic human dialogue. This exploratory feasibility study examined whether ChatGPT can serve as a simulated counseling client and feedback provider for undergraduate students learning counseling skills. Five upperclassmen completed a 45–60-minute text-based session with ChatGPT portraying “Sarah,” a college student experiencing depression and loneliness, followed by AI feedback and a semi-structured interview. Trained raters judged ChatGPT’s client portrayal and feedback as generally accurate, particularly for tone, empathy, and identification of students’ strengths. Accuracy was lower for rapport, summarizing, and pacing characteristic of an …
