Stalemate At Port Arthur: William James On War, Vulnerability, And Pluralist Personalism, Bennett Gilbert

History Faculty Publications and Presentations

Using a close reading of a single clause and its context in a section in A Pluralist Universe, we see the moral dangers James saw in traditional ontology, in particular its relation to war and peace. This analysis opens up James’s combining the personalist philosophy of his friend Borden Bowne (and others) with the pluralism he developed late in his career. This leads, further, to reflection of James’s performative philosophizing. Finding in James a theory of “pluralistic personalism” gives us a fresh look at the far-reaching power of his basic concepts of moral philosophy.

Exploring The Relationship Between Intrinsic Motivation And Receptivity To Mhealth Interventions, Varun Mishra, Sarah Hong, David Kotz

Dartmouth Scholarship

Just-in-Time Adaptive Interventions aim to deliver the right type and amount of support at the right time. This involves determining a user's state of receptivity - the degree to which a user is willing to accept, process, and use the intervention. Although past work has found that users are more receptive to notifications they view as useful, there is no existing research on whether users' intrinsic motivation for the underlying topic of mHealth interventions affects their receptivity. To explore this, we conducted a study with 20 participants over three weeks, where participants interacted with a chatbot-based digital coach to receive …

Sound, Gentrification, And Ephethereal Justice, Allie Martin

Dartmouth Scholarship

Gentrification transforms neighborhoods and erodes intimacies, creating spaces of displacement and exclusivity. Where, then, is justice in a gentrifying city? In this article, I argue that sound offers an opening into a fleeting—“ephethereal”—justice; that is, a portmanteau of ephemeral and ethereal. This is a justice that is short lived and ephemeral, and yet offers an impression of something not of this world, something ethereal. Drawing on my work on listening to gentrification in Washington, DC, I consider how sound invokes this ephethereal justice and offers us the tools to explore the temporal and spatial contours of liberation.

A Magical Symbiosis: The Advent Of Witchcraft In The Age Of Social Technology, James Dryden

University Honors Theses

This paper investigates the relationship between social media and witchcraft practitioners in online communities. After providing a landscape of how other researchers have studied similar phenomenon, interviews with anonymous witches who utilize online platforms such as TikTok and Instagram were conducted by the author. Using these testimonies in conjunction with the research of others, the author identifies trends and similar stories between American witches regarding Wicca, the commodification of the craft, and how witchcraft practice continues in the modern day.

Associations Of County-Level Social Determinants Of Health With Covid-19 Related Hospitalization Among People With Hiv: A Retrospective Analysis Of The Us National Covid Cohort Collaborative (N3c), Jessica Y. Islam, Eric Hurwitz, Dongmei Li, Marlene Camacho-Rivera, Jing Sun, Sandra Safo, Jennifer M. Ross, Shukri Hassan, Elaine L. Hill, Cara Varley, Multiple Additional Authors

OHSU-PSU School of Public Health Faculty Publications and Presentations

Individually, the COVID-19 and HIV pandemics have differentially impacted minoritized groups due to the role of social determinants of health (SDoH) in the U.S. Little is known how the collision of these two pandemics may have exacerbated adverse health outcomes. We evaluated county-level SDoH and associations with hospitalization after a COVID-19 diagnosis among people with (PWH) and without HIV (PWOH) by racial/ethnic groups. We used the U.S. National COVID Cohort Collaborative (January 2020-November 2023), a nationally-sampled electronic health record repository, to identify adults who were diagnosed with COVID-19 with HIV (n = 22,491) and without HIV (n = 2,220,660). We …

Holistic Methodologies For Fusing The Material And The Ideological: Tracing The Sociotechnical Imaginaries That Enable The World’S Fastest Supercomputer, Sarah Read, Jordan Firth

English Faculty Publications and Presentations

When the Aurora supercomputer launches at Argonne National Laboratory it will operate at the exascale and be one of the fastest supercomputers in the world. We have been invited by Argonne to do field work to understand both the day-to-day processes that maintain supercomputing (e.g. user documentation, government reporting, user testing) and the sociotechnical national imaginaries [11], –in particular the increasingly tense global competition between the US and China in the supercomputing race–that shaped the development of Aurora. This article proposes our work-in-progress methodological approach that accounts for both higher-level imaginaries and the everyday practices of supercomputing. We also describe …

Academic Libraries, Counter-Storytelling, And Minoritized Students' Scholarly Identity Development, Darren Ilett

University Libraries Publications

This study uses the critical race theory approach of counter-storytelling to explore scholarly identity development among first-generation, low-income, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), and women students transitioning to graduate school. Data included interview transcripts, observation notes, and student assignments from a program that supports students in completing an original research project and applying for graduate school. Findings show the frequent negative stereotypes about students that circulate in higher education as well as students' own counter-stories that reimagine academia and their place in it. Implications include ways that libraries can better support students' scholarly identity development.

Voluntary Regulation, Luis Inaraja Vera

Law Faculty Scholarship

Regulation is ubiquitous in the modern administrative state, profoundly impacting areas as diverse as antitrust, environmental protection, road safety, and telecommunications. Most often, the term regulation is associated with a set of rules that administrative agencies enforce by imposing penalties or other sanctions, an approach scholars and policymakers refer to as mandatory regulation. In recent times, however, voluntary regulation—that is, government initiatives guiding people’s and firms’ behaviors by resorting to persuasion rather than mandates—has gained significant traction. Federal statutes authorizing billions of dollars in spending, such as the Inflation Reduction Act and the Farm Bill, rely heavily on this form …

La Familia De Village, Shonell L. Dillon

Doctor of Leadership

To fulfill my project portfolio, I will be addressing the following: “Can the church become a guiding light in the lives of adolescents (10 to 15 years old) in the Bunche Village community who have experienced the effects of multigenerational trauma?” My research findings confirmed that some of the symptoms of multigenerational trauma can be addressed through social-emotional learning using biblical interventions. I will describe how the church can address these needs through youth outreach. My project is a non-profit that will follow a Christian-centered social-emotional skills curriculum. This program will address the needs of adolescents in the Bunche Village …

Towards Understanding Capacity Development As A System: Perceptions From Multiple Conservation Stakeholder Groups In Bhutan, Jeremy S. Brooks, Sonam Wangyel Wang, Ugyen Namgyel, Jennifer Zavaleta Cheek, Katia Nakamura Lam, Johanna Eklund, Om Katel, Daniel C. Miller

Natural Resource Management Faculty Publications

Capacity development is crucial for enduring conservation success. Recent scholarship has called for a systems perspective based on input from local stakeholders to better understand and develop conservation capacity. However, few studies have adopted such an approach to explore interactions among capacities or how capacity development needs and priorities evolve. We address this gap through a case study from Bhutan, centred on perceptions from 52 local conservation practitioners, planners, funders and community members. We use mixed methods to identify which capacities have been important for conservation success, which capacities are needed for future success, which capacities are foundational and how …

Study Of Vegetated Islands Along The Middle Rio Grande Using Openet Satellite Toolbox, Athena Victoria Sophia Shapiro Esq.

Water Resources Professional Project Reports

Sustainable water management is a challenging issue facing most of the western United States. This study analyzed evapotranspiration predictions at 14 sites along the Middle Rio Grande, changes have occurred over time as these vegetated sand bar islands have developed. Additionally, this study examines the methods of predictions and analysis of evapotranspiration or ET rates along the river using OpenET. An added area of research is the understanding of the presence of vegetation on the sandbar islands. This was analyzed using satellite imaging data from OpenET, which was used to see how changes in vegetation density change ET values seen …

H2d: Hierarchical Heterogeneous Graph Learning Framework For Drug-Drug Interaction Prediction, Ran Zhang, Xuezhi Wang, Sheng Wang, Kunpeng Liu, Yuanchun Zhou, Pengfei Wang

Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

Accurately predicting Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs) is critical to designing effective drug combination therapies. Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered DDI prediction approaches have emerged as a new paradigm. However, most existing methods oversimplify the complex hierarchical structure within molecules and overlook the multi-source heterogeneous information external to molecules, limiting their modeling and predictive capabilities. To address this, we propose a Hierarchical Heterogeneous graph learning framework for DDI prediction, namely H2D. H2D employs an internal-toexternal, local-to-global hierarchical perspective, exploiting intramolecular multi-granularity structures and inter-molecular biomedical interactions to mutually enhance across hierarchical levels. Extensive experimental results demonstrate H2D’s effectiveness on three …

Mapping The Threat Environment Of Southern California’S Elected Officials, John Porten, Rachel Locke

Kroc IPJ Research and Resources

Are threats towards and harassment of public officials a problem? Some characterize the issue as one of free speech; strenuous criticism of local officials is required for democracy to function. Others argue that local elected officials and the media are simply seeking attention or blowing a small problem out of proportion. In other spaces, the case is made that democracy in America is broken, that governance at the local level can no longer function, and that security risks are rampant. Those studying the issue have gathered data that point to more insidious effects, including the disenfranchisement of voters, shifting representation …
