Geographic Correlation of Mental Health Google Search Terms and COVID-19 Fatality Rates
Get PDFNot only have COVID-19 social distancing and quarantining measures transformed today’s society, but they have also exacerbated the mental health crisis in the United States. Understanding fear-induced responses and coping mechanisms due to unprecedented global events, such as the COVID-19 Pandemic, can enable health care providers to address their psychological impact and prepare appropriate treatment regimes. Despite numerous epidemic data platforms tracking COVID-19 fatalities, there is a limited understanding of Americans’ mental health during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This study investigates and quantifies the correlation between U.S. COVID-19 fatality rates over time and fear-related Google search terms by utilizing Google Trends and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) COVID-19 Tracker. Furthermore, in order to determine context-specific relationships between Google search terms and U.S. COVID-19 fatalities, a graphical analysis will be conducted to assess the data visually. Ultimately, this experiment provides insight on the psychological impact of highly stressful events, especially future global health events similar to the COVID-19 Pandemichttps://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1135/thumbnail.jp
Application of Production Process on Translation of Dramatic Literature
Get PDFSurpassing literary and non-literary delineation, theater and performance translation has long being holding a unique position amongst all the types of linguistic and cultural transmission. Being concurrently a legitimate working document and stylized literature set up challenges as well as enables creative approaches to balance the key criterion of equivalence, relative autonomy and functionality. The project uses The Stronger, a dramatic monologue authored by the Swedish playwright August Strindberg, as the sample text to generate of an actable Chinese translation. The translation has adopted the principle of domestication by relocating the action to 1930s Shanghai to enhance audience accessibility. The experimentation is conducted through five phases: drafting, critical revision, rehearsal revision, performance and collaborative revision, and filming and reflective revision to examine how production process, acting in particular may assist preparation, revision and refinement of play translation. After applying adjustment to the initial document based on faculty review, the translator is to impersonate the only speaking role and reassess the draft from an actress’s perspective to generate the second revision. Three functional moment are then selected and enacted before a group of English-Chinese bilingual students, with their critical comments specifying direction for a third round of revision. This revision along with modified acting choices are to be filmed for peer review that will lead to the finalized translation. The findings from the progress expounds the benefaction and limitation of participatory and collaborative contribution, pointing to the potential of specialist translators and translation training amongst theater practitioners.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1141/thumbnail.jp
Urban Ground Covers Influence Soil Characteristics and Beetle Communities in Riparian Zone
Get PDFRiparian zones are terrestrial habitats adjacent to rivers or streams that frequently undergo environmental fluctuation and offer unique ecosystem services. Previous research has shown that varying ground cover due to urbanization can lead to adverse effects on soil quality and arthropod abundance. This experiment investigates ground cover effects on arthropod communities, soil pH, and conductivity. The ground covers examined in this experiment were control, litter addition, litter removal, and grass addition. Forty plots were constructed in October 2020 in an urban riparian forest within Binghamton University’s Nature Area. Ground arthropods were collected in June, July, and September of 2021 while soil was collected in July and October. Ground arthropods were collected using twenty-four-hour wet pitfall traps and then counted and identified to order and family levels. Arthropod groups primarily consisted of spiders, centipedes/millipedes, beetles, springtails, ants, and mites. In June, we found the highest abundance of beetles in the grass addition (11.0 ± 1.6), followed by the removal (9.8 ± 1.7), and lastly the control (8.7 ± 1.1) and the addition (8.7 ± 1.3). The high abundance of beetles in grass treatment may be attributed to the dietary resources added, while the removal plots create an open habitat space. Results also show a difference in pH and conductivity for each treatment when compared to the control. This suggests that differences in microclimates caused by treatments may alter ground arthropods present and soil characteristics.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1014/thumbnail.jp
Un enfoque comparado sobre los regímenes de bienestar para el estudio de las políticas sociales globales
No full textBeginning from the framework of welfare state regimes in rich capitalist countries, this article radically redefines it and applies the new model to regions and countries which experience problematic states as well as imperfect markets. A broader, comparative typology of regimes (welfare state, informal security, insecurity) is proposed, which captures the essential relationships between social and cultural conditions, institutional performance, welfare outcomes, and path dependence. Using this model, different regions of the world (East Asia, South Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa) are compared. For many poorer, partially capitalized societies, people’s security relies informally upon various clientelist relationships. Formalizing rights to security via strategies for declientelization becomes a stepping stone to protecting people against the insecurity of markets
Programas de Transferencia Condicionada: Aplicación de la Asignación Universal por Hijo en Tucumán, Argentina
No full textEn la actualidad, más del 40% de las personas en situación de pobreza en la Argentina son niños/as y adolescentes. En 2009, se creó la Asignación Universal por Hijo para Protección Social (AUH) para hacer frente a esta problemática al equiparar los derechos de los hijos/as de los trabajadores/as formales con los de los informales y desempleados. Este documento analiza la implementación de la AUH a nivel nacional y hace foco en la Provincia de Tucumán. Busca relevar las problemáticas asociadas a la pobreza y la desigualdad. Se analiza el margen de acción que tiene cada jurisdicción subnacional: en general se restringe, esencialmente, a participar en algunos operativos de convocación, difusión e inscripción de los titulares. Si bien el rol de las provincias no es relevante en la implementación de esta política pública, sí permite reducir el número de actores involucrados, lo cual tiende a limitar la incidencia de los factores políticos y la gestión se vuelve más eficiente. No obstante, la falta de participación de los gobiernos subnacionales en la implementación de la AUH puede constituirse también en una deficiencia dado que limita el potencial de diálogo entre niveles jurisdiccionales de gobierno que podría aportar a la integralidad de las políticas públicas. Finalmente, se presentan recomendaciones para mejorar la gestión del programa y su coordinación con otras iniciativas nacionales y provinciales
Toward Suicidal Ideation Detection with Lexical Network Features and Machine Learning
Get PDFIn this study, we introduce a new network feature for detecting suicidal ideation from clinical texts and conduct various additional experiments to enrich the state of knowledge. We evaluate statistical features with and without stopwords, use lexical networks for feature extraction and classification, and compare the results with standard machine learning methods using a logistic classifier, a neural network, and a deep learning method. We utilize three text collections. The first two contain transcriptions of interviews conducted by experts with suicidal (n=161 patients that experienced severe ideation) and control subjects (n=153). The third collection consists of interviews conducted by experts with epilepsy patients, with a few of them admitting to experiencing suicidal ideation in the past (32 suicidal and 77 control). The selected methods detect suicidal ideation with an average area under the curve (AUC) score of 95% on the merged collection with high suicidal ideation, and the trained models generalize over the third collection with an average AUC score of 69%. Results reveal that lexical networks are promising for classification and feature extraction as successful as the deep learning model. We also observe that a logistic classifier’s performance was comparable with the deep learning method while promising explainability

Preserving Music Recitals at Binghamton University Libraries
Get PDFAt Binghamton University Libraries, we are engaged in a project where we are digitizing recordings of campus music recitals. The digitized recordings are ingested into the Libraries’ digital preservation system, Ex Libris\u27 Rosetta. We have also created a public collection in Omeka that provides access to the recordings (on-campus only) and scanned copies of the programmes. In this presentation, I will describe how the recordings are digitized, how we create metadata, and how we preserve and make the files accessible. I will also discuss some of the challenges with the project as well as our future plans
