Why Ai Monitoring Faces Resistance And What Healthcare Organizations Can Do About It: An Emotion-Based Perspective, Karl Werder, Lan Cao, Eun Hee Park, Balasubramaniam Ramesh Jan 2025

Why Ai Monitoring Faces Resistance And What Healthcare Organizations Can Do About It: An Emotion-Based Perspective, Karl Werder, Lan Cao, Eun Hee Park, Balasubramaniam Ramesh

Information Technology & Decision Sciences Faculty Publications

Continuous monitoring of patients' health facilitated by artificial intelligence (AI) has enhanced the quality of health care, that is, the ability to access effective care. However, AI monitoring often encounters resistance to adoption by decision makers. Healthcare organizations frequently assume that the resistance stems from patients' rational evaluation of the technology's costs and benefits. Recent research challenges this assumption and suggests that the resistance to AI monitoring is influenced by the emotional experiences of patients and their surrogate decision makers. We develop a framework from an emotional perspective, provide important implications for healthcare organizations, and offer recommendations to help reduce …

Public And Self-Perceptions Of Gender Queerness In Middle Eastern And North African Communities, Shane Hamblin, Arusha Ramaswamy Jan 2025

Public And Self-Perceptions Of Gender Queerness In Middle Eastern And North African Communities, Shane Hamblin, Arusha Ramaswamy

Research Days Posters 2025

Despite increased acceptance and legal recognition of queer identities in Western societies within the past 25 years, there remain stark differences in representation of LGBTQ+ voices between white and nonwhite communities. Particularly within Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) communities, this underrepresentation is exacerbated by societal pressures to adhere to strict heteronormative, gender-stratified roles, with little room for deviation from the norm. This paper examines the experiences of genderqueer individuals with MENA heritage at Binghamton University, exploring how they fit into their cultural definitions of gender and how this differs from the broader gender expectations of a majority-white campus.

Basic Income And The Question Of Immigration: Evaluating Citizen-Based Vs. Residency-Based Proposals, Judy Ke Jan 2025

Basic Income And The Question Of Immigration: Evaluating Citizen-Based Vs. Residency-Based Proposals, Judy Ke

Research Days Posters 2025

Basic income is a government welfare program whose primary goal is to alleviate poverty, provide economic security, and reduce inequality. Many non-citizen immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers would stand to gain benefits if a basic income were implemented in the United States. Yet inclusion of such groups is highly controversial. Some experts argue that including immigrants in a basic income program would increase the immigration rate and cause spending to spike. Drawing on the process of naturalization, tax contributions of citizens and immigrants, and already established arguments, this research paper examines the debate over residency- vs. citizenship-based basic income. In …

Autocracies For The Working-Class, Zoe Chin

Research Days Posters 2025

The results of the 2024 U.S. presidential election came as a shock to some but on par with world trends of backsliding democracy and the spread of competitive authoritarianism. When considering authoritarianism on a micro level–the way authoritarian tendencies manifest in everyday life–the paradoxical relationship between authoritarian rule and lower-class support becomes more prominent. The interdependent relationship between the two suggests a dangerous future for working-class Americans, where economic and nationalist policies come at the cost of a dismantled democracy. In 1970s Mexico, the PRI secured working-class loyalty by promising living improvements and promoting mobilization through state-sponsored organizations, suppressing any …

Hybrid Fitness In Mimulus Aurantiacus Var. Calycinus X Mimulus Aurantiacus Var. Longiflorus, Jovana Simic, Rachel Pitt, Emma Rella, Josh Knecht, James Sobel

Research Days Posters 2025

Hybridization between diverging populations offers a unique opportunity to study genetic interactions that contribute to speciation. When hybridization occurs between partially isolated populations, selection against low-fitness hybrids counteracts gene flow that eludes prezygotic barriers.The Dobzhansky-Muller model proposes that negative epistasis between divergent loci generates low-fitness hybrids without requiring parental populations to cross a fitness valley. Previous work evaluating seedling growth in Mimulus auraticaus var. calycinus X M. aurantiacus var. longiflorus provided evidence for negative interactions between these recently diverged genomes. This research expanded on this work by adding back-crosses, along with F1s, F2s, and the parents. Seed weight, seed area, …

The Bonds Of Family: How One Family’S Experience Tells The Story Of The Prison-Industrial System, Cameron Stone

Research Days Posters 2025

Beginning in the 1960s, a rightward shift in politics and “War on Drugs” policies propelled the United States toward mass incarceration. The result was a prison population of around 2 million people, in which minority groups have been disproportionately imprisoned. While historians and legal scholars have examined the policies and legal structures behind mass incarceration, oral historians working in the tradition of social history emphasize the importance of narratives of those most impacted yet traditionally neglected. This paper specifically examines the relatively unstudied Columbia University's 2019 Mass Incarceration Oral History collection, which explores the interconnected perspectives of one family’s experience …

Dewlap Color Variation And Male Visual Grasp Response Across Populations In A Neotropical Lizard, Janelle Talavera, Lindsey Swierk, Thomas H.Q. Powell

Research Days Posters 2025

The sensory drive hypothesis proposes that signals evolve to be most effective in their respective environment, and that the receiver’s sensory systems in that environment should evolve to match those signals. Differences in sexual signals and sensory systems in adjacent habitats may operate as isolating mechanisms. Male Anolis lizards have brightly colored dewlaps that they use for communication. Anolis aquaticus, a Costa Rican species that exhibits intraspecific variation, was studied as populations’ dewlaps vary in redness or yellowness. It is hypothesized that this variation is shaped by sensory drive and facilitates species isolation in A. aquaticus. Visual modeling was used …

Effects Of Environmental Conditions On Thiamine Levels And Health Of Brook Trout, Banshika Mangal, Dennis Kleiner

Research Days Posters 2025

Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), a predatory freshwater species, often consume prey fish with elevated levels of thiaminase. Previous studies have shown that thiaminase degrades thiamine (Vitamin B1), an essential cofactor in metabolic pathways including the pentose-phosphate pathway, citric acid cycle, and glycolysis. The deficiency of thiamine can impair RNA and DNA synthesis due to reduced NADPH production. This study investigated the impact of environmental factors on the thiamine levels in the diets of these brook trouts. Six brook trout strains from New York State and Canada, living in temperatures of 4°C and 19°C, and some under hypoxic conditions, were examined. …

Complexity Of Plant-Pollinator Networks Comprised Of Native And Non-Native Plants And Pollinators In Relation To Land Cover, Jacqueline Justo, Eliza Grames Jan 2025

Complexity Of Plant-Pollinator Networks Comprised Of Native And Non-Native Plants And Pollinators In Relation To Land Cover, Jacqueline Justo, Eliza Grames

Research Days Posters 2025

Pollinators are vital to ecosystem function. This study observed how plant-pollinator networks comprised of native bumble bees (Bombus) and non-native honeybees (Apis) change with tree cover and on native versus non-native flora. At 40 sites, flower visitation by Bombus and Apis over 15-minute intervals were recorded. There was no significant difference in Bombus and Apis visitation to native or non-native flowers (χ2= 3.57, p=0.06). Bombus visited nine native and six non-native species, while Apis visited four native and five non-native. For every 1% increase in grassland, there was an increase of 1.04 bees (p <0.001). Plant-pollinator networks were more complex (# edges = 23) in open areas than forested areas (# edges = 6). Apis and Bombus shared eight flower species, three were only visited by Apis, and eight were only visited by Bombus. Monitoring native and non-native bees and their interactions can help us understand competition for floral resources.
