Artist Talk: Marc Fischer
No full textTemporary Services is Brett Bloom and Marc Fischer. We are based in Ft. Wayne (IN) and Chicago. Salem Collo-Julin worked with us from 2001-2014. We have existed, with several changes in membership and structure, since 1998. We produce exhibitions, events, projects, and publications. The distinction between art practice and other creative human endeavors is irrelevant to us. The best way of testing our ideas has been to do them without waiting for permission or invitation. We invent infrastructure or borrow it when necessary. We were not taught this in school. We try different approaches, inspired by others equally frustrated by the systems they inherited, who created their own methods for getting work into the public. Temporary Services started as an experimental exhibition space in a working class neighborhood of Chicago. Our name directly reflects the desire to provide art as a service to others. It is a way for us to pay attention to the social context in which art is produced and received. Having “Temporary Services” displayed on our window helped us to blend in with the cheap restaurants, dollar stores, currency exchanges, and temporary employment agencies on our street. We were not immediately recognizable as an art space. This was partly to stave off the stereotypical role we might have played in the gentrification of our neighborhood. We weren’t interested in making art for sale. Within the boundaries of “what sells” artists often carve out tiny aesthetic niches to protect, peddle, and repeat indefinitely, rather than opening themselves up to new possibilities. Experiencing art in the places we inhabit on a daily basis remains a critical concern for us. It helps us move art from a privileged experience to one more directly related to how we live our lives. A variety of people should decide how art is seen and interpreted, rather than continuing to strictly rely on those in power. We move in and out of officially sanctioned spaces for art, keeping one foot in the underground the other in the institution. Staying too long in one or the other isn’t healthy. We are interested in art that takes engaging and empowering forms. We collaborate amongst ourselves and with others, even though this may destabilize how people understand our work.

Artist Talk: Mark Rospenda
No full textJoin us for an engaging artist talk featuring Mark Rospenda and his thought-provoking exhibition, Filter Feeder. The talk will take place at the Peeler Art Center, Auditorium. Mark\u27s work explores the concept of filter feeders, immobile ocean organisms that passively absorb food from their surroundings, drawing a parallel to the human experience of images constantly inundating us without seeking them actively. Through drawings and paper sculptures, Mark\u27s self-portrait as a poetic representation of knowledge and belief raises questions about the fragility of our understanding when faced with moments that challenge our perceptions of reality. This event is free and open to the public.https://scholarship.depauw.edu/peeler_event/1017/thumbnail.jp

Insurer Market Power And Hospital Prices In The US
No full textThe extent to which concentration in the health insurance market affects negotiated prices paid to hospitals is of high interest to policy makers. We examined the association between insurer market share and hospital prices, using a new source of data obtained through the federal Hospital Price Transparency initiative. We found that the market-leading insurer in the least competitive (most concentrated) insurance markets pays 15 percent less to hospitals than the market-leading insurer in the most competitive (least concentrated) markets. We also found the price relationship to be more pronounced for for-profit hospitals than for not-for-profit hospitals. Our results invite the question of whether dominant insurers are passing savings on to employers in the form of lower premiums

Business Compass
No full textAfter the pandemic began, a global surge in investing and trading unfolded, driven by the need for alternative income sources, highlighting the demand for astute decision-making tools. In response, the project introduces “Business Compass,” an interactive web platform underpinned by advanced AI technologies, including Deep Learning and Large Language Models (LLMs), to empower informed financial and business decision-making. The platform\u27s dual-fold structure comprises a dynamic machine learning-powered stock prediction model using historical data and a business case solver addressing complex business challenges. Through AI integration, Business Compass supports investors and businesses in making well-informed investment decisions and crafting effective business strategies. The stock prediction model utilizes historical data analysis to anticipate stock prices, assisting a growing investor base in navigating dynamic market scenarios. It aggregates historical stock prices for publicly-traded stocks, leveraging Deep Learning and mathematical models to predict stock prices. Users can input specific stock ticker symbols, and the platform presents predicted prices via informative graphs, enabling accuracy assessments through historical data and real-vs-predicted price comparisons. Concurrently, the business case solver addresses the increasing complexities of business challenges in a rapidly changing landscape marked by trends, evolving customer preferences, and technological advancements. When users input specific business scenarios requiring solutions, the solver utilizes LLMs to explore diverse scenarios, generate hypotheses and solutions tailored to inputs, and provide actionable implementation plans, facilitating strategic adaptations to ever-shifting market dynamics
Comparative Synthesis of MIL-100 Fe from Iron (III) and Ground Iron Characterization and Porous Property Evaluation
No full textMIL-100(Fe) is an iron-based metal-organic framework (MOF) known for its porous structure, crucial in various applications like gas storage, catalysis, drug delivery, and pollutant adsorption. In medical contexts, MIL-100(Fe) can encapsulate drugs, safeguarding them from unwanted interactions. These frameworks release drugs in specific conditions, ensuring targeted delivery. Our study investigated drug encapsulation using isoniazid (INH) and a structurally similar drug, Acetaminophen. We employed XRD, SEM imaging, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and UV-Vis Spectroscopy for material characterization and to probe drug absorption and delivery mechanisms.https://scholarship.depauw.edu/srfposters/1199/thumbnail.jp
