Benchmarking Machine Learning Models In Lesion-Symptom Mapping For Predicting Language Outcomes In Stroke Survivors, Deepa Tilwani, Christian O'Reilly, Nicholas Riccardi, Valerie L. Shalin, Dirk B. Den Ouden, Julius Fridriksson, Svetlana V. Shinkareva, Amit P. Sheth, Rutvik H. Desai

Communication Sciences and Disorders Faculty Articles and Research

Several decades of research have investigated the neural connections between stroke-induced brain damage and language difficulties. Typically, lesion-symptom mapping (LSM) studies that address this connection have relied on mass univariate statistics, which do not account for multidimensional relationships between variables. Machine learning (ML) techniques, which can capture these intricate connections, offer a promising complement to LSM methods. To test this promise, we benchmarked ML models on structural and functional MRI to predict aphasia severity (N = 238) and naming impairment (N = 191) for a cohort of chronic-stage stroke survivors. We used nested cross-validation to examine performance along …

Granite Staters Oppose Trump's Foreign Policy Choices, Divided On Several State Bills 5/29/2025, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Approval of President Trump's job performance has declined slightly among Granite Staters since his inauguration. On foreign policy, most New Hampshire residents think Trump's plan to accept a jet from Qatar is inappropriate. Nearly half of state residents feel the U.S. should support Ukraine more and help them retake lost territory even if it prolongs their war with Russia. On state issues, about half of residents approve of Governor Kelly Ayotte's performance and housing remains by far the most important problem facing the state. Granite Staters support legislation aiming to ban cell phone use by students during instruction time but …

Development Of An Age-Appropriate Household Dysfunction Measure And Its Concurrent Validity With Multiple Outcomes Among Middle School Adolescents In Southeast Texas, Sumaita Choudhury, Timothy J Walker, Emily T Hébert, Christine M Markham, Ross Shegog, Robert C Addy, Melissa F Peskin

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Existing adverse childhood experience (ACE) measures include a limited number of household dysfunction (HD) items and the use of adult-oriented language that is not always appropriate for middle schoolers. We developed an age-appropriate 10-item HD measure informed by previously validated ACE measures and tested its concurrent validity with dating violence (DV) perpetration, lifetime substance use, and mental health outcomes among middle schoolers in Southeast Texas. This cross-sectional study used the baseline data from a DV prevention intervention program for sixth graders (N = 126), Me & You Tech. Baseline data were collected from March 2023 to April 2023. To …

Massachusetts Residents Back Harvard In Fight With Trump, Unsure On Healey And Markey Re-Elections 5/29/2025, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Only about one-third of Massachusetts residents approve of President Donald Trump's handling of the economy, foreign policy, and his overall job performance. Majorities of Bay Staters say that the U.S. is not doing enough to back Ukraine and that it is inappropriate for Trump to accept a jet from Qatar. Six in ten Massachusetts residents disapprove of the Trump administration's treatment of Harvard University. Half of Bay Staters approve of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey's performance and residents are about evenly divided on whether she deserves to be re-elected. Residents are less likely to say that Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey deserves …

Rhode Islanders Not Happy With Governor Mckee Or President Trump 5/29/2025, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Approval of President Donald Trump remains low in Rhode Island. Approval of Governor Dan McKee has reached an all-time low in the state, as majorities of Republicans, Independents, and Democrats disapprove. Few believe McKee deserves re-election. Rhode Islanders express some interest in 2022 gubernatorial candidate Helena Foulkes running for governor in 2026, but there is less enthusiasm for former Republican gubernatorial nominee Ashley Kalus or former governor Gina Raimondo to run. In contrast to McKee, a majority of Rhode Islanders believe Senator Jack Reed deserves to be re-elected.

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Connecticut residents continue to disapprove of President Donald Trump's overall job performance and approval of his handling of the economy has fallen since March. Most state residents disapprove of Trump's plan to accept a jet from Qatar and half think the U.S. is not aiding Ukraine sufficiently in their war with Russia. A majority approve of Governor Ned Lamont's job performance, but Connecticut residents are divided on whether he should run for governor again or whether he deserves re-election. Residents cite taxes and the cost of living as the two most important problems facing the state, while majorities support bills …

Runx2 Is Essential For Maintaining Synchondrosis Chondrocytes And Cranial Base Growth, Shawn A Hallett, Ashley Dixon, Isabella Marrale, Lena Batoon, José Brenes, Annabelle Zhou, Ariel Arbiv, Vesa Kaartinen, Benjamin Allen, Wanida Ono, Renny T Franceschi, Noriaki Ono

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The cranial base synchondroses, comprised of opposite-facing bidirectional chondrocyte layers, drive anteroposterior cranial base growth. In humans, RUNX2 haploinsufficiency causes cleidocranial dysplasia associated with deficient midfacial growth. However, how RUNX2 regulates chondrocytes in the cranial base synchondroses remains unknown. To address this, we inactivated Runx2 in postnatal synchondrosis chondrocytes using a tamoxifen-inducible Fgfr3-creER (Fgfr3-Runx2cKO) mouse model. Fgfr3-Runx2cKO mice displayed skeletal dwarfism and reduced anteroposterior cranial base growth associated with premature synchondrosis ossification due to impaired chondrocyte proliferation, accelerated hypertrophy, apoptosis, and osteoclast-mediated cartilage resorption. Lineage tracing reveals that Runx2-deficient Fgfr3+ cells failed to differentiate into osteoblasts. Notably, Runx2-deficient chondrocytes showed …

Variability In Undergraduate Academic Stress: The Role Of Ethnicity, Early Adverse Family Experiences, And Psychological Distress, Teresa Mejia, Elana B. Gordis, Mitch Earleywine, Li Shen Chong

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Early adverse family experiences (e.g., abuse, neglect, and family conflict) can create vulnerabilities that can alter the association between psychological distress and academic stress, particularly for some ethnic groups. This study examined whether the link between psychological distress and academic stress varies in the presence of early adverse family experiences across ethnic groups. Participants (N = 284, 38.4% male, 59.5% female, 1% non-binary, and 0.7% transgender, 56.5% European American, 15.6% African American, 12.6% Hispanic and Latino, 8.5% Asian, 6.8% Mixed/Biracial) self-reported psychological distress, early adverse family experiences, and perception of academic stress. Regression analyses revealed a three-way interaction between adverse …

Many Catholic schools face resource challenges that result in limitations surrounding the implementation of multi-tiered systems and support (MTSS). Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a potential tool for Catholic schools to strengthen systems of support. This article explores how AI can strengthen core components of MTSS such as identifying evidence-based interventions, developing progress monitoring tools, analyzing student data, and facilitating personalized instruction. The article also outlines different AI tools available to schools and discusses potential benefits and challenges of leveraging AI within Catholic schools. Future researchers should consider evaluating and analyzing implementation of AI tools within MTSS, specifically how AI tools …

A Tale Of Two Tracks, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Newspaper and Magazine Articles

The recent impressive performance of Pakistan’s armed forces against a formidable adversary, enjoying favorable distribution of conventional forces, a 10-times larger economy, six times in population, a leading global exporter of IT and IT-enabled services, having huge forex reserves of over $600 billion, has made the nation proud. The question that needs to be answered is: How come the performance of our military (1971 being an exception) has been so consistently superior compared to our civilian institutions? Why is the gap between these two parallel tracks — military and civil — widening and why have there been no synergies between …

Concomitant Systemic Autoinflammatory Diseases: Diagnostic And Therapeutic Challenges, Eman Al Masroori, Mahadev J. Mal, Reem Abdwani

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal

Neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID) and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) are distinct entities within the expanding spectrum of systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs). We report a 3-month-old infant who presented with recurrent fever, urticarial rash, and polyarthritis. After excluding other causes, anakinra was initiated based on clinical suspicion of NOMID. Despite treatment optimisation, she continued to experience disease flares. An initial autoinflammatory panel and subsequent whole-exome sequencing revealed heterozygous MEFV (M694V and V726A) gene mutations, which did not explain the clinical picture. Further deep sequencing identified NLRP3 (p.Asp305Glu) somatic mosaicism, confirming NOMID. The coexistence of NOMID and FMF presented significant diagnostic …

Navigating Sovereignty And Human Rights: A Legal Analysis Of Palestinian Detention Under Israeli Jurisdiction In Comparison To International Law, Amani Nidal Odeh

Dissertations and Theses

This thesis examines whether Israeli detention practices of Palestinians conform to or contravene Israeli domestic legislation and international legal standards using a doctrinal legal analysis. This thesis evaluates six key areas through four hypotheses: the detention of minors, geographic disparities (particularly Gaza), administrative detention procedures, the use of military courts, due process violations, and detention conditions. While Israeli domestic law formally authorizes these practices, the analysis finds they routinely violate crucial international legal norms, including the ICCPR, CRC, CAT, and the Fourth Geneva Convention. The use of secret evidence, prolonged administrative detention without trial, and discriminatory legal frameworks undermines the …

Structural And Functional Lessons Learned About Regulation Of Enterotoxigenic E. Coli Virulence Regulatory Factor, Rns, Jessica Dianne Tolbert

Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations

Antibiotic resistance has exacerbated the global health crisis of diarrheal diseases caused by enteric bacterial pathogens. Investigating pathogens, such as Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Vibrio cholerae (cholera), helps to uncover mechanisms for the inhibition of virulence gene expression. A notable member of the AraC transcription factor family in ETEC, Rns, regulates virulence factors including pili and fimbriae, which are essential for adherence and colonization of the intestinal epithelial layer. This microbe–host interaction initiates the release of toxins, leading to the water and ion loss in clinically diagnosed as diarrhea.

In the canonical N-terminal domain of Rns, mutagenesis of the …

A Quantitative And Qualitative Analysis Of The Workplace Challenges Experienced By Women, Ahmed Mohammed Almousa

Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation explores the persistent workplace challenges experienced by women through three interrelated studies using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Despite decades of progress, women continue to face structural barriers, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and emotional labor demands that shape their professional experiences.

The first study analyzes GSS data to examine the impact of the #MeToo movement on self-reports of sexual harassment and gender discrimination. Results show an increase in reporting sexual harassment among White men and Women of color. With respect to men of color and white women, the results were not significant or did not show an increase. …

Photojournalism In The Age Of Deepfakes: The Role Of Media Literacy And Ethical Standards In Restoring Trust In Visual Reporting, Ionnnis Kontos, Katerina Chryssanthopoulou, Ioannis Galanopoulos-Papavasileiou

All Works

This article explores the impact of deepfake technology on photojournalism, highlighting its role in undermining trust in visual media. As deepfakes allow for the creation of highly realistic manipulated content, they pose significant challenges regarding the authenticity of journalistic imagery and erode the authority of visual truthfulness. The widespread use of deepfakes has led to a decline in public confidence in the credibility of news, raising concerns about the future of photojournalism in an era of digital deception. As a solution to regaining viewers’ trust, this article suggests a twofold approach: First, it emphasizes the importance of media literacy in …

Avoiding The Thin Veneer Of Legality; Structural And Institutional Factors Impacting Judicial Scrutiny In A National Security Context, Seán Looney

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

Discussions surrounding the role of judicial oversight in the national security context often revolve around discussions of appropriate standards of review and levels of deference for judges to take. While answering these doctrinal questions remains essential, the question of whether there are non-doctrinal factors which may influence how judges review executive action is relatively understudied. This article uses the so-called double-lock authorisation mechanism under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 to show how structural and institutional factors may influence judicial decision-making in a national security context. These factors are not universal rather they are specific to the oversight mechanism in question. …

Assessing Consumer Perceptions And Attitudes Towards Cultured Meat Using X (Twitter) Data: Implications For Decision Support, Guoste Pivoraite, Shaofeng Liu, Saeyeon Roh, Guoqing Zhao

Plymouth Business School

Cultured meat (CM) is considered to have a potential to address environmental, sustainability, ethical concerns, and food security, however, consumer acceptance remains a challenge. This study empirically validatesand extends the Cultured Meat Attitude and Perception Assessment (CAPA) model by analysing public discussions on X (Twitter) to understand consumer perceptions of CM. Using BERTopic for topic modelling and qualitative analysis, the study explored unprompted public narratives, mapping them to CAPA constructs to examine how public opinions align with or challenge existing theoretical concepts. The findings revealed a combination of cultural, political, ethical, and economic narratives shaping consumer behaviour and theirdecision-making processes …

Understanding The Impact Of Employee Investigations On Those Who Lead Them: A Case Study From Nhs Wales, Andrew Jonathan Cooper, Doris Anita Behrens, Sophie Elizabeth Jones, Adrian Neal, Aled Jones, Walter Hyll

School of Nursing and Midwifery

In healthcare, there is growing awareness of the potential harm that disciplinary processes can have on employees, service delivery, and organizational culture. However, little attention has been given to the impact on those responsible for conducting these investigations. This study examines investigator harm through a cross-sectional survey, simultaneously collecting qualitative and quantitative data from 71 participants across 10 NHS Wales organizations. The findings indicate that investigators experience harm when conducting employee investigations. While those with more experience perceive themselves as better prepared to follow the formal steps of the disciplinary policy and process, their ability to prevent harm to themselves …

Introduction

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

In November 2023, the Institute for Law and Philosophy at the University of San Diego School of Law convened a Symposium on Andrew Koppelman’s recent book, published in 2022, Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed. The argument of Andy Koppelman’s book is that whereas modern American libertarianism began admirably with Friedrich Hayek’s corrective to the Depression-era vogue for central economic planning, libertarianism has since devolved into a toxic blend of anarchism, greed, disdain for the weak, and rationalization for environmental catastrophe.

The papers from the Symposium are published in this issue of …

Will The Real F.A. Hayek Please Stand Up!, Eric Mack

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

In this essay, I will argue that neither of these two presentations of Hayek represent the real Hayek. In Part II of this essay, I criticize Koppelman’s contention that there is little distance, if any, between Hayek’s stance on distributive justice and Rawls’s difference principle. In Part III of this essay, I dispute Koppelman’s claim that Hayek is quite receptive to the development and expansion of the regulatory-administrative state. Each of these stances is rejected by Hayek for the same sorts of reasons that stand behind his rejection of central economic planning. Hayek’s critique of central economic planning, his rejection …

We Didn’T Start The Fire: For And Against Koppelman On The Corruption Of Libertarianism, Roderick T. Long

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

At the philosophic core of libertarianism is a set of market-oriented commitments that are entirely compatible with, and indeed congenial to, traditional leftist concerns with the well-being of the disadvantaged in society. But over the past several decades, the libertarian movement has fallen increasingly under the spell of toxic, callous, right-wing versions of libertarianism that scorn empathy while championing the cause of the economic winners in society at the expense of those who lose out.

That’s one way of stating the central thesis of Andrew Koppelman’s book Burning Down the House. And that thesis, so stated, is one I …

Freedom From Libertarianism, Joseph Fishkin

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

Andrew Koppelman’s new book Burning Down the House is a guide to some of the late stages of the libertarian collapse. It’s a book whose many virtues include its clear and simple prose style. As a result of that style, and its generally straightforward exposition, I think this book will be of real use to many people, perhaps especially to free-thinking former libertarians who are engaged in a project of self-deprogramming. The book makes a nice holiday gift to the former libertarian or wavering libertarian in your life who would like to learn more about the arc of how it …

Notes From A Serf, Rachel Lu

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

F. A. Hayek would have hated Obamacare. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the argument I am going to relate.

Fusionism, Not Libertarianism, Burned Down The House, Kevin Vallier

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

In Burning Down the House, Andrew Koppelman has two goals: one philosophical and one sociological. The philosophical goal is to separate the wheat from the chaff in libertarian thought. Koppelman embraces the merits of F. A. Hayek’s arguments for markets. But he stridently rejects the radical libertarianism of Murray Rothbard, Robert Nozick, and Ayn Rand. The radicals are out, and the moderates are in. Hayek must increase, and Rothbard must decrease.

The sociological thesis is that radical libertarian ideology significantly influences the modern GOP and American conservatism. Koppelman sees the pathologies of the contemporary right as drawing from the …

Burning Questions: A Response To Fishkin, Long, Lu, Mack, And Vallier, Andrew Koppelman

The Journal of Contemporary Legal Issues

I’m indebted to Larry Alexander and Steve Smith for organizing this conference, and to Joseph Fishkin, Roderick Long, Rachel Lu, Eric Mack, and Kevin Vallier for their thoughtful responses to my book, Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed. When San Diego organized this conference, I gave them the names of the people whom I was most eager to engage with, scholars I admire despite some deep disagreements. They have forced me to sharpen my own views. I am very lucky.
