Thomas J. Farrell's "Top 20" OEN Articles, and Walter J. Ong's Thought
No full textSee the above abstract.In my 2,100-word review essay "Thomas J. Farrell's 'Top 20' OEN Articles, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I first list the "Top 20" of my 665 OEN articles, ranking each one by the number of views it received. Next, I offer some reflections on certain aspects of my "Top 20" list, including relevant information about the thought of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian and pioneering media ecology theorist Walter Jackson Ong, Jr. (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955) of Saint Louis University, the Jesuit university in the City of St. Louis, Missouri.N/AFarrell, Thomas.

How News Organizations Inform Their Readers of the Use of AI
No full textThe journalism and the media landscape is facing increasing challenges as the wave of
new digital technology and machine learning enters the news sphere. This study examines how
media outlets inform their readers about AI and their use of AI, and further looks into whether
these outlets maintain ethical guidelines regarding AI. A content analysis of the top 100 print
news organizations and the top 50 online news outlets within the U.S. was conducted to identify
codes of ethics, AI codes of ethics, and the use and restrictions of AI within the news
organization. Results indicate that very few news organizations include language or ethical codes
regarding the use of AI within news production and publication. Within the context of ethical
guidelines in journalism, this finding suggests a need for further codes of ethics surrounding the
topic of AI to be adopted by more news organizations. These findings contribute to the existing
literature and media landscape research by illustrating how exactly AI in the news process is
being understood by both news organizations and readers. They also have implications for
policymakers and media organizations seeking to regulate use and restrictions of AI within the
media
Is it our Race or our Place? Examining Differences in College Enrollment Using the Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition Method
No full textCollege enrollment is a key driver of economic mobility, yet persistent disparities by race and high school locale raise critical questions about access to postsecondary education. Using nationally representative data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09), this paper employs a linear probability model and the Blinder-Oaxaca Decomposition method to examine how race and high school locale influence college enrollment among Black and White non-Hispanic students. The findings indicate that racial identity plays a more significant role than high school locale in explaining differences in college enrollment. To remedy disparities, policies should emphasize expanding college readiness resources,
restoring consideration of race in college admissions, and improving support for students in urban and historically marginalized communities.Constantine, Sally. (2025). Is it our Race or our Place?

Diagnostic Imaging in Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy - A Case Report
No full textNoncompaction cardiomyopathy is a rare congenital form of cardiomyopathy characterized by protruding trabeculations in the left ventricle with deep intertrabecular recesses. It has been previously associated with valvular pathologies and bradycardias. Herein, we present a case of 34-year-old female patient who was initially seen at an outside hospital for lightheadedness and dizziness associated with anxiety. An EKG was obtained, and she was found to have ventricular escape rhythm with a rate of 50 beats per minute with left bundle-branch morphology. She was subsequently transferred to our hospital for a higher level of care and further workup. After excluding common causes of bradycardia in young patients and initial echocardiography exam showing apical trabeculations, cardiac MRI was obtained to confirm the suspected diagnosis noncompaction cardiomyopathy. Cardiac MRI showed a left ventricular systolic function of 45%, increased size of the ventricular cavity and reduced LV mass. There was no late gadolinium enhancement, myocardial walls were seen and the noncompaction to compaction tissue ratio was higher than 2.3:1. Her findings were consistent with the current criteria of diagnosis of noncompaction cardiomyopathy. Noncompaction cardiomyopathy is a congenital form of cardiomyopathy that has a variable manifestation. Its prevalence is estimated between 0.014 to 1.3 percent. While the majority of the patients can be relatively asymptomatic, heart failure, atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death and thromboembolic events have been associated with this diagnosis. Different criteria have been developed to establish a diagnosis of noncompaction cardiomyopathy. They emphasize hyper-trabeculation, presence of a compacted and non-compacted layer of myocardium and color Doppler evidence of low within the intertubercular recesses. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can be used to diagnose noncompaction cardiomyopathy echocardiographic findings are inconclusive. Most CMR criteria require a trabeculated LV mass with a maximum end-diastolic non compacted to compacted myocardial thickness ratio of higher than 2.3.This research was supported by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP).Salama, Ryan; Shtembari, Jurgen; Mohammad, Al-Akchar.

Free, Prior, and Informed Consent in Colombia: Practices, Tensions, and Community Strategics
No full textThis paper examines the implementation of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) in Colombia. Drawing on interviews with key actors and analysis of consultation data, it explores how FPIC is shaped by structural asymmetries, fragmented governance, and competing definitions of participation. Far from a neutral legal process, FPIC emerges as a space of tension where communities resist, negotiate, and sometimes reshape imposed agendas. The analysis includes testimonies from various actors offering diverse perspectives on how FPIC is experienced in practice, revealing not only institutional and political challenges but also internal dynamics of exclusion, particularly regarding women’s participation. While the legal purpose of FPIC is to ensure communities’ right to be consulted, this study highlights how its meaning and scope are redefined in practice through contested interactions among communities, state institutions, and other actors.Vargas, Marcela.

No full textRuntime 33:21Cation exchange capacity and cation balancing are the topics of the day in this episode of the Nutrient Management Podcast. What are the definitions of cation exchange capacity and cation balancing? How is CEC measured, and are those estimates reliable? What does the research say about CEC and CB and their role in a nutrient management strategy? What should farmers remember about cation exchange capacity and cation balancing for their own operations.
