Fatherhood and Child–Father Attachment in Two Small-Scale Societies
No full textVariation in attachment quality was assessed in 92 one- to three-year-olds’ (49 female, 43 male) attachment to their father, within and across two small-scale, subsistence populations: the Tsimane of lowland Bolivia (n= 29 dyads) and Tannese of Vanuatu (n = 63 dyads). Overall, the Tsimane and Tannese populations show similarity in the patterning of child–father attachment relative to samples from industrialized societies, with 52% of Tsimane dyads and 62% of Tannese dyads showing secure attachment. However, the insecure-ambivalent attachment was more frequent among Tsimane and Tannese dyads relative to samples from industrialized societies, and attachment security was greater for sons than for daughters in Tanna. Of several attributes of fathers, only reports by mothers of how frequently fathers play with their children are associated with child–father secure attachment. Fathers who scored highly on this measure were more likely to have children with secure attachments. Studies of child–father attachment are rare outside of industrialized populations yet are critical to understanding the mechanisms underlying child–father relationships
Designing AI for Courts
Get PDFArtificial Intelligence (AI) is developing at an incredible pace and society has subsequently gone through rapid changes, but courts have been left behind due to the delay in utilizing AI technology. This delay in the implementation of advancing AI technology inhibits courts from improving the speed and quality of legal services. This Article introduces how AI is currently used in courts and discusses its benefits and risks, controversies, and the issues surrounding the utilization of private vendor products. Further, this Article shows how AI can help courts improve their legal services and argues that to anticipate the risks and controversies associated with using AI, courts must engage in each of the four implementation phases: designing, developing, deploying, and monitoring. Focusing on the designing phase of AI, this Article suggests that courts not limit discussion surrounding AI to a small number of executives and experts but invite all judges and court clerks who handle cases at the forefront to join such discourse. To lower the hurdles for judges and court clerks who usually do not have expertise in technology, this Article presents a framework that can be useful when thinking and discussing ideas for designing AI for courts
Farm Animal Sanctuaries: Impact of Visitation Policies on Immediate and Long-Term Goals
Get PDFThe rise of nonprofit farm animal sanctuaries in the 1980s was in response to the abuse and exploitation of animals in the animal agriculture industry. As newcomers to the field of animal sanctuary, farm animal sanctuary founders had to decide whether to allow or restrict public visitation and how the decision would impact nonhuman animal residents, mission and vision, and immediate and long-term goals. Farm animal sanctuaries continue to grapple with these questions today. This study explores how visitation policies align with an organization’s mission and vision and impact its immediate and long-term goals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with leaders of five farm animal sanctuaries in the United States and the qualitative data was analyzed to identify common themes. The findings, implications, and recommendations from the analysis are reported in this paper
