Title: The Career State Inventory (CSI): Applications in Practice.
Creator: Reardon, Robert, Christianson, Serena, Coleman, Rachel, Dozier, V. Casey, Hayden, Seth, Leierer, Steve, Miller, Adam, Peterson, Gary
Abstract/Description: The career decision state (CDS) is a condition of being or consciousness, a “snapshot,” with respect to one’s present career goals. The Career State Inventory provides a total score assessing the CDS, and assesses three components of it, i.e., (a) a person’s self–assessment of occupational preferences or lack thereof (career certainty), (b) an assessment of satisfaction related to the occupational preferences (career satisfaction), and (c) the strength of a person’s confidence regarding the...
Show moreThe career decision state (CDS) is a condition of being or consciousness, a “snapshot,” with respect to one’s present career goals. The Career State Inventory provides a total score assessing the CDS, and assesses three components of it, i.e., (a) a person’s self–assessment of occupational preferences or lack thereof (career certainty), (b) an assessment of satisfaction related to the occupational preferences (career satisfaction), and (c) the strength of a person’s confidence regarding the career decision-making process (career clarity). An individual’s career decision state may range from being highly certain, satisfied, and clear in one’s choice (first choice, no alternatives), to being completely undecided, dissatisfied, confused, and lacking confidence in making a choice (no choice, no options).

Title: Spectral Analysis Modal Methods (SAMMs) using Non-Time-Resolved PIV.
Creator: Zhang, Yang, Cattafesta, Louis, Ukeiley, Lawrence
Abstract/Description: We present spectral analysis modal methods (SAMMs) to perform POD in the frequency domain using non-time-resolved Particle Image Velocity (PIV) data combined with unsteady surface pressure measurements. In particular, time-resolved unsteady surface pressure measurements are synchronized with non time-resolved planar PIV measurements acquired at 15 Hz in a Mach 0.6 cavity flow. Leveraging the spectral linear stochastic estimation (LSE) method of Tinney et al (2006), we first estimate the cross...
Show moreWe present spectral analysis modal methods (SAMMs) to perform POD in the frequency domain using non-time-resolved Particle Image Velocity (PIV) data combined with unsteady surface pressure measurements. In particular, time-resolved unsteady surface pressure measurements are synchronized with non time-resolved planar PIV measurements acquired at 15 Hz in a Mach 0.6 cavity flow. Leveraging the spectral linear stochastic estimation (LSE) method of Tinney et al (2006), we first estimate the cross correlations between the velocity eld and the unsteady pressure sensors via sequential time shifts, followed by a Fast Fourier transform to obtain the pressure-velocity cross spectral density matrix. This leads to a linear multiple-input / multiple-output (MIMO) model that determines the optimal transfer functions between the input cavity wall pressure and the output velocity eld. Two variants of SAMMs are developed and applied. The first, termed \SAMM-SPOD", combines the MIMO model with the SPOD algorithm of Towne et al (2018). The second, called \SAMM-RR", adds independent sources and uses a sorted eigendecomposition of the input pressure cross-spectral matrix to enable an efficient reduced rank eigendecomposition of the velocity cross-spectral matrix. In both cases, the resulting rank-1 POD eigenvalues associated with the Rossiter frequencies exhibit very good agreement with those obtained using independent time-resolved PIV measurements. The results demonstrate that SAMMs provide a methodology to perform space-time POD without requiring a high-speed PIV system, while avoiding potential pitfalls associated with traditional time-domain LSE.

Title: Unscented Kalman Filter (ukf)-based Nonlinear Parameter Estimation For A Turbulent Boundary Layer: A Data Assimilation Framework.
Creator: Pan, Zhao, Zhang, Yang, Gustavsson, Jonas P. R., Hickey, Jean-Pierre, Cattafesta, Louis N.
Abstract/Description: A turbulent boundary layer is a ubiquitous element of fundamental and applied fluid mechanics. Unfortunately, accurate measurements of turbulent boundary layer parameters (e.g. friction velocityu tau tau(w)) are challenging, especially for high-speed flows (Smitset al2011). Many direct and/or indirect diagnostic techniques have been developed to measure wall shear stress (Vinuesaet al2017).

Show moreA turbulent boundary layer is a ubiquitous element of fundamental and applied fluid mechanics. Unfortunately, accurate measurements of turbulent boundary layer parameters (e.g. friction velocityu tau tau(w)) are challenging, especially for high-speed flows (Smitset al2011). Many direct and/or indirect diagnostic techniques have been developed to measure wall shear stress (Vinuesaet al2017). However, based on various principles, these techniques generally give different results with varying uncertainties. The current study introduces a nonlinear data assimilation framework based on the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) that can fuse information from (i) noisy and discretized measurements from stereo particle image velocimetry (SPIV), a Preston tube, and a MEMS shear stress sensor, as well as (ii) the uncertainties of the measurements to estimate the parameters of a turbulent boundary layer. A direct numerical simulation of a fully developed turbulent channel flow is used first to validate the data assimilation algorithm. The algorithm is then applied to experimental boundary layer data at Mach 0.3 obtained in a blowdown wind tunnel facility. Drag coefficients from control volume analysis of the SPIV and wall pressure data and laser interferometer skin friction measurements are used for independent cross-validation. The UKF-based data assimilation algorithm is robust to the uncertain and discretized experimental data and is able to provide accurate estimates of turbulent boundary layer parameters with quantified uncertainty.

Show moreTo combat the declining number of finishers plaguing the distance-running industry, it is increasingly important for organizers to optimize event satisfaction levels. Participants' survey responses from two distance-running events (n(1) = 2,324 and n(2) = 2,526) were analyzed to challenge the traditional managerial scope and theoretical lens through which event satisfaction is conventionally examined. Results revealed five event benefits that capture key motivational antecedents of event satisfaction. Collectively, these benefits, including euphoric, fitness, competition, social, and entertainment benefits, influenced event satisfaction levels (R-2 = 43%) and repeat consumption intentions (R-2 = 23%). For event organizers to foster event satisfaction, it is central to encourage event preparation and participation that promotes the enjoyment of physical activity, fitness and appearance enhancement, socialization, competition, and excitement among registrants. Academics should also extend their scope of event satisfaction to fully capture the entirety of event experience lifecycles (e.g., from registration through event participation).

Show moreTracking students' learning states to provide tailored learner support is a critical element of an adaptive learning system. This study explores how an automatic assessment is capable of tracking learners' cognitive and emotional states during virtual reality (VR)-based representational-flexibility training. This VR-based training program aims to promote the flexibility of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in interpreting, selecting and creating multimodal representations during STEM-related design problem solving. For the automatic assessment, we used both natural language processing (NLP) and machine-learning techniques to develop a multi-label classification model. We then trained the model with the data from a total of audio- and video-recorded 66 training sessions of four adolescents with ASD. To validate the model, we implemented both k-fold cross-validations and the manual evaluations by expert reviewers. The study finding suggests the feasibility of implementing the NLP and machine-learning driven automatic assessment to track and assess the cognitive and emotional states of individuals with ASD during VR-based flexibility training. The study finding also denotes the importance and viability of providing adaptive supports to maintain learners' cognitive and affective engagement in a highly interactive digital learning environment.

Show moreGram-scale insects, such as cockroaches, take advantage of the mechanical properties of the musculoskeletal system to enable rapid and robust running. Engineering gram-scale robots, much like their biological counterparts, comes with inherent constraints on resources due to their small sizes. Resource-constrained robots are generally limited in their computational complexity, making controlled, high-speed locomotion a challenge, especially in unstructured environments. In this paper we show that embedding control into the leg mechanics of robots, similarly to cockroaches, results in predictable dynamics from an open-loop control strategy that can be modified through material choice. Tuning the mechanical properties of gram-scale robot legs promotes high-speed, stable running, reducing the need for active control. We utilize a torque-driven damped spring-loaded inverted pendulum model to explore the behavior and the design space of a spring-damper leg at this scale. The resulting design maps show the trade-offs in performance goals, such as speed and efficiency, with stability, as well as the sensitivity in performance to the leg properties and the control input. Finally, we demonstrate experimental results with magnetically actuated quadrupedal gram-scale robots, incorporating viscoelastic legs and demonstrating speeds up to 11.7 body lengths per second.

Show moreRoughly 1 in 59 children in the United States is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a rate that has more than doubled during the last 10 years. As students with autism increasinglypursue higher education, college educators must understand these students’ experiences and actively address issues that affect their college outcomes. This paper draws from interviews with autistic students who have had widely varying experiences and outcomes in higher education. Using an iterative analytic strategy that combined elements of grounded theory, multiple case study, and constant comparative approaches, researchers developed a series of propositions that were subsequently deconstructed and reconstituted as a conceptual model. The resultant conceptual model not only provides a descriptive portrait of how these students experienced interactions with their postsecondary institutions but also outlines specific ways in which tensions between the student and institution manifest as acute problems that students were often able to recognize, sometimes able to reframe, and occasionally able to resolve. The model can be used to help students and their institutions anticipate, address, and overcome challenges in ways that improve college experiences and outcomes for students on the autism spectrum.

Penaeidae shrimp species are known to share morphology characteristic and identification based on morphological appearance becomes more challenging when shrimp is processed into ready-to-eat products. Misrepresentation of shrimp is common in commercially available shrimp. The objective of the study was to develop a high-resolution melting (HRM) real time PCR assay targeting the 16S rRNA gene fragment for specific identification of top five penaeid species, Litopenaeus vannamei, Penaeus duorarum, Penaeus monodon, Litopenaeus setiferus and Pleoticus muelleri. The applicability of assay was evaluated using two DNA extraction kits and two real-time PCR master mixes. The HRM assay was evaluated using 43 shrimp samples and results were validated by sequencing shrimp 16S rRNA gene fragment. Assay standardized in this study formed distinct melt curve profile for each species in the normalized and differential melt curve plots. The assay using Apex qPCR 2× GREEN master mix showed 100% sensitivity and specificity. Further, species identification results obtained by HRM assay was in complete agreement with identification achieved by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The HRM assay developed in this study can be used as rapid, low-cost, and reliable method for the identification of abovementioned shrimp species.

Title: Low-order Estimation Of The Velocity, Hydrodynamic Pressure, And Acoustic Radiation For A Three-dimensional Turbulent Wall Jet.

Show moreA method for the experimental characterization of the velocity, hydrodynamic pressure, and acoustic generation in a subsonic (Re-H = 25, 500), three-dimensional, turbulent wall jet is presented. An acoustic analogy formulated for the turbulent wall jet shows that the far-field acoustics relate to the Reynolds stress fluctuations of the velocity field or the product of the hydrodynamic pressure fluctuations and the rate-of-strain field. As these quantities cannot be measured directly with sufficient resolution, low-order reconstructions of the velocity field based on the use of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and Stochastic Estimation are developed. Reconstruction of the three-dimensional field is accomplished using spanwise-aligned, stereoscopic particle image velocimetry measurements, obtained at 16 streamwise locations synchronously with an array of 32 surface pressure transducers. The velocity field reconstruction is then used to calculate the fluctuating pressure field (via Poisson's equation) allowing for the evaluation of coupled pressure-velocity terms in addition to an acoustic analogy for the acoustic far-field. Application of these methods show that the large-scale motion throughout the shear layer is captured by the velocity and hydrodynamic pressure field estimates and features of the acoustic far-field are recovered.

Such waters were classified as either: (a) unique to a particular domain, family, or superfamily or (b) conserved among all beta-trefoil folds. Three buried waters conserved among all beta-trefoil folds were identified. These waters are related by the threefold rotational pseudosymmetry characteristic of this protein architecture (representing three instances of an identical structural environment within each repeating trefoil-fold motif). The structural properties of this buried water are remarkable and include: residing in a cavity space no larger than a single water molecule, exhibiting a positional uncertainty (i.e., normalized B-factor) substantially lower than the average C alpha atom, providing essentially ideal H-bonding geometry with three solvent-inaccessible main chain groups, simultaneously serving as a bridging H-bond for three different beta-strands at a point of secondary structure divergence, and orienting conserved hydrophobic side chains to form a nascent core-packing group. Other published work supports an interpretation that these interactions are key to the formation of an efficient folding nucleus and folded thermostability. The fundamental threefold symmetric structural element of the beta-trefoil fold is therefore, surprisingly, a buried water molecule.

Show morePolyelectrolyte complexes or coacervates, PECs, represent one of the many families of ion-containing polymers proposed or in use for applications requiring mobile ions, including fuel cells, water purification, and rechargeable batteries. Interest in these materials has focused on how ion transport is coupled to, and limited by, polymer dynamics, which slow considerably below the glass transition, T-g. Unlike many other polymer systems, ion conductivity in hydrated PECs remains high above and below T-g. In this work, we investigate the transport of water and ions within a PEC as the polymer host passes through T-g. We find no evidence of a response in the transport of water and small univalent ions, such as Na+ and Cl-, as the hydrated PEC goes through T-g. In contrast, triple-charged ions ferricyanide and ruthenium hexamine experience a second-order change in transport rate at T-g. This response is interpreted to show that these ions engage enough polyelectrolyte repeat units to experience the highly localized cooperative rearrangement thought to be responsible for the glass transition.

In this work, a hydrated PEC with a Tg near room temperature, made from poly(diallyldimethylammonium), PDADMA, and poly(styrene sulfonate), PSS, was precisely doped with 22Na-labeled sodium salts along a Hofmeister series. A distinctive change in the rate of doping versus added salt concentration was observed for all salts. This transition was interpreted to reflect a change in ion-accessible volume coinciding with a change in the role of added salt from counterions for the polyelectrolytes, paired directly and within one water molecule of the charge on the polymer backbone, to a mix of counterions and co-ions, which do not have a specific location within the PEC. Isothermal calorimety for PEC made in, and doped by, NaCl showed two clear regions for enthaply change, ΔH, before and after the doping transition. The higher ΔH region was correlated with the counterion role, an indirect measure of the location of ions within the PEC

Show moreAccurate measurement of high-speed flows in the presence of elevated levels of shear and turbulence is a challenging yet necessary endeavor in order to understand ubiquitous flows that are of great engineering importance. While Eulerian methods, such as Particle Image Velocimetry, represent the traditional approach, Lagrangian alternatives, such as Particle Tracking Velocimetry, has witnessed a resurgence recently due to improved technology and interest in Lagrangian analysis methods. In this research, a recently developed implementation of a volumetric Lagrangian technique for tracking particles in densely seeded flows, namely, Multi–Pulse Shake-The-Box (MP–STB) with the specific implementation referred to as Four–Pulse Shake-The-Box, is described and its performance in high-speed jet flows is evaluated. The MP–STB technique is based on recent developments in the Shake-The-Box method (Novara et al. 2019) and uses low-speed cameras combined with a double exposed image acquisition strategy and multi-pulse tracking. Its use of four laser pulses in quick succession with an uneven pulse timing scheme allows for high-accuracy estimates of velocity and acceleration, and repeated ensembles of short-duration, time-resolved measurements in realistic high-speed flows. Experiments with circular jets operating at exit Mach numbers of 0.31 and 0.59 in two different configurations, namely, free jets and jets impinging on a ground plate located 4.75 jet diameters away from the nozzle, were performed to evaluate MP–STB. Scattered four particle tracks from MP–STB were mapped onto a regular Eulerian grid through the Fine Scale Reconstruction implementation of the VIC# data assimilation method (Jeon et al. 2018). Unique information, including acceleration fields, are presented for these well-known canonical flows. Comparisons with traditional Eulerian measurements from Tomographic PIV, Stereoscopic PIV, and planar PIV are provided to validate the accuracy and comparative cost of volumetric MP–STB measurements combined with the VIC# data assimilation technique.

The approach utilized a splinted excisional model of dermal healing, and a novel fine-sampled photographic methodology, to quantify key wound healing parameters for different doses of topical FGF-1. The histology of healed wounds, representative of each dose cohort, was also evaluated by section and staining. The results show that topical FGF-1 pharmacotherapy for accelerating dermal healing in aged BALB/cByJ female mice yields a narrow dose-response curve, with diminished therapeutic effect at high concentration (i.e. “bell-shaped” dose-response). The physiological response of FGF-1 in wound healing involves a combination of cell types (including vascular endothelial cells, epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts). These individual cells types in culture can have different FGF-1 dose-response curves; however, only the response of fibroblasts is bell-shaped. The bell-shaped dose-response in dermal healing therefore principally reflects the effect upon fibroblasts. A narrow bell-shaped dose-response requires precise dosing of FGF-1 for therapeutic benefit. The results identify the practical dose range to elicit such a benefit.

Show moreBy viewing political and social corruption through the lens of the control theory of complex systems, this paper will provide some insight into the effects of corruption and outside control on incentives which direct the formation and evolution of social networks, and the intrinsic hierarchies which they encode. This paper proposes and tests the hypothesis that changes in the rate of competition among nodes to raise their control capacity, incentivized by the anticipation of payment through political corruption opportunities, can be identified by changes in an indicator of the controllability of the network at points where the network undergoes a structural change. A theoretical model of control input preference is formulated which leads to a testable hypothesis about the direction of correlation between controllability of a network and the presence of corruption. Results support the hypothesis that as corruption increases, the network becomes more difficult to control as all members alter their linking strategies to ensure that they get a piece of the action. We describe this novel effect as “hierarchical congestion”, to reflect the emergent phenomenon in which individuals making effort to move themselves to the top of the controllability hierarchy increase the number of driver nodes required to fully control the network.

Show moreObjectives: Being a caregiver of an older adult is often associated with poor psychological outcomes and stress. Individual differences, such as personality, may moderate responses to caregiving. In this study, we examined (a) personality and psychological health of family caregivers compared to non-caregivers and (b) tested interactions between caregiver status and personality (both domains and facets) in predicting psychological outcomes.Methods: Data were from an online sample of caregivers of older relatives (N = 491; 71.9% females) and matched controls (N = 491). Participants completed the Big Five Inventory-2 and a comprehensive set of psychological health and well-being measures.Results: Compared to non-caregivers, caregivers had higher neuroticism, lower energy level (extraversion facet) and higher compassion (agreeableness facet). They also reported higher depression, anxiety, loneliness, and lower well-being and life satisfaction. Personality traits and facets had strong associations with psychological outcomes, and these associations were similar across the two groups. Only a few significant interactions between caregiver status and personality were found: For instance, higher neuroticism (in particular, higher scores on anxiety and depression facets) exacerbated anxiety among caregivers.Conclusions: Personality is a relevant correlate of psychological health. In the context of caregiving, its assessment may help to identify caregivers at risk of poor outcomes and inform intervention programs. Further research is needed to replicate the findings and investigate longitudinal interrelations among variables.

Show moreObjectives: To test whether loneliness is associated with risk of cognitive impairment up to 11 years later in a European sample of middle-aged and older adults. The study examines whether this association is independent of measures of social isolation, depression and other risk factors for cognitive impairment and dementia.Methods: Participants (N = 14,114) from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) answered a single item on loneliness at baseline and were assessed for cognitive impairment every two-to-three years for 11 years. Participants who scored at least 1.5 standard deviations below the age-graded mean on both a memory recall task and verbal fluency task were classified as impaired. A 3-item measure of loneliness was available for a sample of respondents followed up to 4 years.Results: Feeling lonely was associated with increased risk of incident cognitive impairment (HR = 1.31, 95%CI = 1.19-1.44), after accounting for age, sex, education, and SHARE country strata. The association was robust but reduced in magnitude when controlling for clinical and behavioral risk factors, health-related activity limitations, social isolation, social disengagement and depressive symptoms. The association was not moderated by socio-demographic factors and was also apparent when using the 3-item loneliness scale instead of the single-item measure.Conclusions: These findings expand the extant literature on loneliness and risk of cognitive impairment in older adulthood. Loneliness is one modifiable factor that can be intervened on prior to the development of severe impairment or dementia.

Show moreThe ability to discover cyberbullying "hotspots" on social media is vitally important for purposes of preventing victimization. This study attempts to develop a prediction model for identifying cyberbullying "hotspots" by analyzing the manifestation of charged language on Twitter. A total of 140,000 tweets were collected using a Twitter API during September 2019. The study reports that certain charged language in tweets can indicate a high potential for cyberbullying incidents. Cyberbullies tend to share negative emotion, demonstrate anger, and use abusive words to attack victims. The predictor variables related to "biology," "sexual," and "swear" can be further used to differentiate cyberbullies from non-cyberbullies. The study contributes to the detection of cyberbullying "hotspots," by providing an approach to identify a tendency for cyberbullying activity based on computational analysis of charged language. The contribution is significant for mediation agenciesdsuch as school counseling and law enforcement agencies. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Title: Comparing Career Development Outcomes Among Undergraduate Students in Cognitive Information Processing Theory–Based Versus Human Relations Courses.

Show moreThe effectiveness of undergraduate career courses has been demonstrated for a variety of variables, such as career certainty, career maturity, career decision-making skills, and reducing dysfunctional career thoughts. While such studies used the career course as an intervention, most failed to include a comparison course and were not grounded in career theory. Therefore, 152 undergraduate students enrolled in four sections of a career development course and 47 students enrolled in three sections of an undergraduate human relations course completed pre and post tests on career-related constructs. Results indicated that the career course yielded significant improvements in career development variables, such as career decision state, cognitive information processing skills, career decision-making stage, knowledge of next steps, and anxiety about current career concern, but the human relations course did not. The CIP-based career course is supported as a valid career intervention, and individuals may benefit from targeted interventions depending on their stage in the CASVE Cycle. Future research might compare different career-theory based or a-theoretical career courses on career development outcomes.

Show moreMany protein architectures exhibit evidence of internal rotational symmetry postulated to be the result of gene duplication/fusion events involving a primordial polypeptide motif. A common feature of such structures is a domain-swapped arrangement at the interface of the N- and C-termini motifs and postulated to provide cooperative interactions that promote folding and stability. De novo designed symmetric protein architectures have demonstrated an ability to accommodate circular permutation of the N- and C-termini in the overall architecture; however, the folding requirement of the primordial motif are poorly understood, and tolerance to circular permutation is essentially unknown. The β-trefoil protein fold is a threefold symmetric architecture where the repeating ~42-mer “trefoil-fold” motif assembles via a domain-swapped arrangement. The trefoil-fold structure in isolation exposes considerable hydrophobic area that is otherwise buried in the intact β-trefoil trimeric assembly. The trefoil-fold sequence is not predicted to adopt the trefoil-fold architecture in ab initio folding studies; rather, the predicted fold is closely related to a compact “blade” motif from the β-propeller architecture. Expression of a trefoil-fold sequence and circular permutants shows that only the wild-type N-terminal motif definition yields an intact β-trefoil trimeric assembly, while permutants yield monomers. The results elucidate the folding requirements of the primordial trefoil-fold motif, and also suggest that this motif may sample a compact conformation that limits hydrophobic residue exposure, contains key trefoil-fold structural features, but is more structurally homologous to a β-propeller blade motif.

Based on focus groups and individual interviews with administrators, faculty, and staff (659 participants) from 21 state colleges, we found a continuum of three data cultures ranging from democratic data cultures to blended data cultures to “need to know” data cultures. We triangulate these results with survey data from FCS institutional leaders and find considerable variation in the extent of data sharing and perceptions of effectiveness of institutional data use. Institutions with democratic data cultures tended to have distributed leadership that encouraged information sharing and collaboration among staff to use data to inform change. Need-to-know institutions faced challenges, including weak data quality, concerns about adequate time and resources among staff for reviewing data, and perceptions that staff lack data literacy skills.

Since that time, hundreds of scholarly works in the form of conceptual and empirical articles, book chapters, and so forth, have been written on the key elements of CIP theory. In fact, Brown (2015) stated that “probably the most widely studied career interventions have been those devel-oped” from CIP theory (p. 62). CIP has been well-cited since its development, with 188 peer-reviewed articles and 350-plus total scholarly works (Sampson, Reardon, Peterson, & Lenz, 2019). The majority of these scholarly works are from the United States; however, several are from international contributors. In addition, the Center for the Study of Technology in Counsel-ling and Development (https://career.fsu.edu/tech-center/about-us), which focuses on exploring and building upon CIP theory and practice, has hosted 47 international visitors with interest in research and application of CIP theory. These contacts have shared via scholarly work as well as anecdotally about the impact of applying CIP in their settings.

Show moreTracking students’ learning states to provide tailored learner support is a critical element of an adaptive learning system. This study explores how an automatic assessment is capable of tracking learners’ cognitive and emotional states during virtual reality (VR)-based representational-flexibility training. This VR-based training program aims to promote the flexibility of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in interpreting, selecting, and creating multimodal representations during STEM-related design problem-solving. For the automatic assessment, we used both natural language processing (NLP) and machine-learning techniques to develop a multi-label classification model. We then trained the model with the data from a total of audio- and video-recorded 66 training sessions of four adolescents with ASD. To validate the model, we implemented both k-fold cross-validations and the manual evaluations by expert reviewers. The study finding suggests the feasibility of implementing the NLP and machine-learning driven automatic assessment to track and assess the cognitive and emotional states of individuals with ASD during VR-based flexibility training. The study finding also denotes the importance and viability of providing adaptive supports to maintain learners’ cognitive and affective engagement in a highly interactive digital learning environment.

Our work also showed the distance between the coil and the melt surface had little effect on the grain sizes refined. Therefore, in ingot production, the dropping of melt surface is not a problem for PMO application.

Letterwriting becomes a mode of indignation previously expressed through political parties, protests, and collective action at the turn of the twentieth century. In Les Belles lettres, Delbo curates a selection of letters featuring testimony about the Algerian War, selected primarily from Le Monde, but also from political journals such as Les Temps modernes and Vérité-Liberté. Interspersing biting commentary, Delbo condemns French imperialism in Algeria and critiques comparisons to the Holocaust, Vichy France, and Nazi Germany. She democratizes the epistolary genre to amplify voices and testimonies that are often silenced or censored because of race, gender identity, political affiliation, religion, and socio-economic status. Delbo’s subversion of belles lettres is an act of civil disobedience. Letter-writing disrupts the political discourse by channeling le bruit des femmes.

Show moreComing from distinct cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, Algerian painter Baya Mahieddine (born Fatma Haddad, commonly known as Baya) and Moroccan photographer Lalla Essaydi predominantly feature women in their artwork through their female gaze. Despite Baya’s reticence to discuss her colorful and unique depiction of women, animals, and vegetation, her mesmerizing gouaches have inspired abundant commentary by poets, writers, curators, and artists. Through her accomplishments and artwork, she moreover instills “hope” among her fellow female compatriots in their “combat de femme” as they contend with gender-specific quotidian struggles (Khanna 210; Djebar 18). In contrast to Baya’s reserve, Essaydi deluges her public with words, whether through her photo/calli-graphic texts or artist statements and interviews in which she informs her audiences about the content of her work. By inscribing (un)veiled women’s bodies with Arabic calligraphy, she produces provocative photographs that incite an introspective critique of the Western gaze while simultaneously sensitizing her Arab publics to reactionary compulsions that dictate the (in)visibility of women. The objective of this article is therefore to examine how their art corrects Orientalist misinterpretations and questions gender-bound Arab traditions. From post-colonial and feminist angles, I argue that both women usetheir female gaze to create artwork that serves to reimag(in)e girlhoods of Maghrebi women.

Show moreIn her work Framing Silence (1997), Myriam J. A. Chancy posits that Haitian women writers redefine the status quo rather than depend on a unified understanding of Haitian culture to write their narratives. According to Chancy Haitian women writers offer a feminized version of Haitian History where fiction serves as a conduit for historical discourse that either silences women or refuses to tell their story. Drawing from Chancy’s study of authors who create a space for female voice within a Haitian history that has denied female expression, this paper considers the telling of history in the novels of two contemporary Haitian women writers. In Le Livre d’Emma (2001) and Bain de Lune (2014), Marie-Célie Agnantand Yanick Lahens employ an intermediary in the narrative to uncover the silenced voice of a female protagonist. In Le Livre d’Emma, the eponymous character has been silenced by a paternalistic society that ignores women that speak too loudly and too often. Diagnosed as mentally unsound, Emma relies on Flore, a translator, to tell her story and transmit the historical narrative she has uncovered. In Bain de Lune, a spectral first-person narrator is used to speak for a young woman whose body is found washed ashore. Through a close reading and comparison of these two novels, this paper uncovers the specific narrative devices used by Agnant and Lahens to bring to light feminine voices from the past and considers what these approaches suggest about Haitian women and their relationship to the past.

When the organization was created in 1978, its founding mothers stated that its goals included “promot[ing] women’s growth and impact within higher education settings by welcoming women’s leadership in departments, divisions, and the university hierarchy.” In 2018, exactly forty years after its creation, Women in French reached a new milestone: that goal had been achieved to the point where women leaders who had been integrated in the higher education administration hierarchy realized they actively wanted and needed to encourage more women to enter by hosting a roundtable about the importance of female voices in higher education administration, a topic that aligned perfectly with the conference theme of “Le bruit des femmes” (Women’s Voices). The roundtable aimed to demonstrate how women administrators find and use their voices while simultaneously underlining the importance of recruiting more women into higher education administration. The session was well attended, a lively discussion followed the panelists’ presentations, and audience members, some of whom were seasoned administrators while others were relatively new to higher education administration or were merely considering entering it indicated they found it a useful contribution to their professional development.

Title: “Ma voix se dégagea”: Music, Risk, and the Heroine’s Voice in George Sand’s Malgrétout.
Creator: Marcoline, Anne
Abstract/Description: In “‘Ma voix se dégagea’: Music, Risk, and the Heroine’s Voice in George Sand’s Malgrétout,” I argue that Sand’s 1870 novel Malgrétout offers a view of the complexity of Sand’s thinking about sound, whether in a child’s holistic and mythical understanding of nature and music, in an artist-hero’s exhausting performances of genius, or in the erosion of the restraint and pragmatism in the heroine’s musical production. Returning through the novel, as a fulcrum on which the heroine, Sarah,...
Show moreIn “‘Ma voix se dégagea’: Music, Risk, and the Heroine’s Voice in George Sand’s Malgrétout,” I argue that Sand’s 1870 novel Malgrétout offers a view of the complexity of Sand’s thinking about sound, whether in a child’s holistic and mythical understanding of nature and music, in an artist-hero’s exhausting performances of genius, or in the erosion of the restraint and pragmatism in the heroine’s musical production. Returning through the novel, as a fulcrum on which the heroine, Sarah, balances her relationship with violin virtuoso, Abel, is the little children’s song Sarah invented, “La Demoiselle.” I propose that “La Demoiselle,” which begins as a musical exercise for a child, becomes for Sarah a means to measure Abel’s commitment to their relationship through his interpretation, arrangement, and dissemination of the little song. At stake in the returns and reiterations of Sarah’s song is a reconceptualization of the Romantic artist story through the heroine’s narrative of the discovery of the sound of her own voice and soul. Moreover, drawing from feminist care ethics, Sand studies, and sound studies, I propose that Sand’s narrative of vibrating instrumental chords, shivering bodies, and trembling voices, which explores the intersubjective and relational nature of sound, articulates a vision and ethics of people as fundamentally and vitally relational beings.

Show moreL’article analyse les bruits féminins qui figurent au dernier vers du sonnet « El Desdichado », les « soupirs de la sainte » et les « cris de la fée ». À partir d’une étude de l’intertextualité et des sources du poème, il propose d’identifier ces formes d’expression inarticulées à des bruits de souffrance. Les enjeux politiques de tels bruits sont abordés au moyen de références au travail de Nicole Loraux dans Les Mères en deuil. L’historienne montre que dans la Grèce antique la législation réglementait de manière précise l’expression de la souffrance féminine, et que cette réglementation visait à imposer à la fois la distinction et l’inégalité entre les genres. L’article a pour but de montrer qu’une telle aliénationdes femmes par leur assignation à un certain type de bruit est remise en cause dans « El Desdichado » dans la mesure où Nerval instaure un réseau de correspondances entre les genres qui les rend réversibles. Cette réversibilité trouve son prolongement dans l’intérêt de l’auteur pour l’androgynie, qu’il manifeste tout particulièrement dans la nouvelle Pandora. L’article envisage l’actrice héroïne de ce texte comme une incarnation du principe poétique d’alternance des genres construit par Nerval autour des soupirs de la sainte et des cris de la fée. Un tel regard sur « El Desdichado » et Pandora conduit à considérer ces deux textes comme étant investis d’un potentiel d’émancipation politique pour quiconque saurait y discerner la déstabilisation des genres qui y opère.

Ce pourrait être un fait divers presque ordinaire, si ce n’est qu’il s’agit d’un roman et que la voix maternelle et meurtrière se charge de faire entendre au lecteur l’inconcevable. Au fil des pages, la narratrice entrechoque, avec acharnement, les mots là où la société avait contraint cette mère célibataire au silence. Elle raconte minutieusement le détail de son échappée depuis ce jour où elle est partie, avec Stan et Kevin, pour découvrir ce bord de mer pluvieux qui donne son titre au bref roman de Véronique Olmi, paru en 2001. L’oralité du récit trahit progressivement la précarité et le désarroi maternels, mais aussi la maladresse et la fragilité d’une langue qui aisse entendre les prémices du drame : la mère, finalement, étouffe l’un après l’autre ses deux garçons, de tout le poids de son corps, comme elle avait, jusque-là, étouffé sa propre voix. L’analyse du fonctionnement et des modalités de la narration permet ici de définir le bruit d’une voix maternelle qui, bien que particulièrement puissante et dérangeante, n’en reste pas moins isolée dans la production romanesque française contemporaine. L’impensable et l’indicible sont à l’origine d’une langue unique dont il est nécessaire d’envisager les enjeux et les échos parmi le bruit des femmes aujourd’hui.

Show moreThe following article examines the role of sound and silence in the work of the Franco-Algerian author Maïssa Bey, Puisque mon coeur est mort (2010). The text takes the form of an epistolary novel written by a mother, Aïda, to her murdered son, Nadir. Despite the acutely personal histoire which acts as a catalyst for the act of writing, Bey’s protagonist endeavours to speak out for the maternally dispossessed in Algeria—and elsewhere—in order to give voice to a more public Histoire: the textual emphasis on the importance of audibly speaking to her son through her written letters encompasses a political objective of speaking out for all those who have lost a child in Algeria’s bloody décennie noire, leaving a compte rendu of a mother’s profound grief. That account is most vividly conveyed through the many sounds and noises which made up Aïda’s daily life with Nadir and to which she returns repeatedly throughout the work as a source of comfort and strength. She refuses to succumb to both sonic and writerly silence, but seeks to disturb the enforced silence imposed by the Algerian authorities following the execution of Nadir by ‘loudly’ bearing witness to private and political truths. This article argues that the much-quoted adage ‘Speech is silver, but silence is golden’ is both meaningless and politically noxious for those women for whom freedom of expression is denied.

Show moreIn Solibo Magnifique (1988), Patrick Chamoiseau’s ethnographer laments: “Je n'étais plus dans ce marché qu’une sorte de parasite, en béatitude stérile” (44). The explicit comparison of the ethnographer to a parasite evokes the seminal work by philosopher Michel Serres, Le Parasite (1980), in which he proposes the parasite as a figurative model for social relations. Drawing from the polysemy of the word parasite in French, Serres seeks to demonstrate the intrinsic relation between the three meanings of the word and the ways in which they execute similar functions in a system. These three figures find direct parallels in two of Chamoiseau’s novels, Solibo Magnifique and Texaco (1992), through the constellation of the female body, the ethnographer, and the tape recorder. Since both novels are ostensibly based on the narrator’s recordings, this article thus proposes to use Serres’ theorization of the parasite to posit the tape recorder as a site of renegotiation between oraliture and gender. Through a comparison of the male Maître de paroles, Solibo, and the female conteuse, Marie-Sophie, we may tease out the ways in which sound recording imposes new paradigms of reproductive fidelity onto oraliture, what I term “parasitic reproduction.”

Show moreInspired by the phenomenon of “child witches” in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Léonora Miano’s second novel, Contours du jour qui vient (2006), reveals the psychological and physical violence children accused of witchcraft experience and its detrimental consequences. This article examines the manner in which Musango, the protagonist of the novel, reconstitutes her fragmented sense of self and reestablishes relationships with others after surviving her mother’s violence and her banishment from home. After analyzing the extent of the damages Musango sustained within her own home and community, especially her trauma-induced mutism, I examine how an already fragile Musango witnesses the silencing of women in a human trafficking camp and in a community revivalist church. I show how this silencing engenders a resistance within Musango and sparks a desire to use her voice. Lastly, I study how this resistance is further cemented and refined by the women she meets in the second half of the novel. These women guide Musango in her transformation from a mute traumatized self to a self-assured vocal individual. Furthermore, these women show her the ability of women’s voices to not only transmit knowledge and values but to also change the community for the better. Ultimately, I demonstrate how Musango is able to affirm her self-worth, reconstruct her fragmented sense of self, establish a connection with others and become a guiding voice through her interactions with the women she meets in her journey to recovery.

Show moreOusmane Sembene’s 1966 La Noire de…, the first full-length feature film by an African director, follows a young Senegalese woman who works for a French couple as a maid. With the exception of answering “Oui, Madame” or “Oui, Monsieur,” Diouana, the protagonist, does not speak in the space of the couple’s home; however, throughout the film, the voice-over discloses her inner monologue. Unable to express her outrage through language, she commits suicide to silence her female boss. Recent scholarship on this film qualifies the couple as her oppressors without exploring their vastly different interactions with her. In this essay, I show how the relationship between the three protagonists’ speech and silence reveals gendered differences in neocolonialist motivations. In contrast to the husband, neither Diouana nor the wife achieve recognition of their speech acts. Characterized by their silence and screaming, these two women lack the acknowledged authority necessary to enact performative utterances. I argue that the wife oscillates between the roles of the civilizing missionary and the slave master in a futile attempt to gain acknowledgment for her speech. This essay shows how the film’s juxtaposition of a white European woman screaming to be superior and a black African woman making her silence heard through suicide underscores the complexity of gendered relations between neocolonialists and women from formerly colonized countries. In a film critiquing the desires of all its characters, Sembene points to the limits of screams, silence, and the overvaluation of male voices in bringing about change for post-colonial institutions and relationships.

Show moreHistorian, translator, publisher, novelist, and journalist, polemicist and political activist during the French Revolution, Louise de Keralio (1756–1822) challenged prevailing gender roles by her ambitious incursion into areas considered the sole province of men. Yet, in apparent contradiction with her bold actions, authoritative voice and ambitious writing projects, she also reiterated gender stereotypes and made antifeminist remarks, much to the perplexity of recent critics such as Annie Geffroy (“Louise de Kéralio-Robert, pionnière du républicanisme sexiste”). I argue that this contrast between her “masculine” endeavors and authoritative voice, on the one hand, and her espousal of normative femininity, on the other, may best be understood by analyzing the discursive strategies she adopts to express her gender-nonconforming ambitions. From her earliest writings, a fundamental dilemma pits her female body, her “corps petit,” viewed in Rousseauian terms as consigned to modesty and domesticity, against her “âme grande” with its ambitious longing to do something for the benefit of society as a whole, to publish and enact her equally Rousseauian progressive ideas. They reveal that, for Keralio, writing is enabled by the repetition of restrictive gender norms, even as it is undercut by them. Her attempt to substitute for this binary thinking of gender in terms of either/or a utopian logic of both/and ultimately results in the silencing of her female-gendered, yet powerful, male-coded political voice during the evolution. Even so, her ideal of both/and endures.

Show moreAt the peak of his reign, Louis XIV commissioned several of the best writers of the time to chronicle the story of his reign. Much like in previous historical narratives, female characters were rarely featured and often silenced. However, as twentieth-century feminist criticism has shown, women writers like Mme de Villedieu actively combatted and upended these dynamics of power by rewriting women’s role in historical events in their historical novellas. In Les Désordres de l’amour, Villedieu gives back their rightful place to sixteenth-century female characters and also gives them voices. In doing so, she not only reverses the overwhelming silencing of women in historical narratives but also asserts the power of the female voice, traditionally dismissed as babil, caquet, and rumeur. In what follows, I will show that in focusing on the material noise produced by female speech, in giving her female characters voices, tones, and individual textures, Villedieu writes a her-story that is “not one story” (Elam 37), but rather a space where “several histories (are) underway” at once (Cixous 160). I will first lay out the originality of Villedieu’s own voice. Then, using the first novella of Les Désordres de l’amour as a case study, I will focus on the character of Mme de Sauve, and examine how the paraverbal nuances rendered by Villedieu, by making her unique, also contribute to her success at court. Finally, I will focus on the choral role of the thunderstorm, a metaphor for a female alliance in the text, as a noisy locus of female power.

Finally, the conclusion presents the hypothesis that, implicit in the 1853 novel is a fourth roar, that of Sand herself, as she continues her writing career after the events of 1848 and, especially, after the coup d’état of December 1851.

Show moreLiterary tourism draws visitors to sites associated with writers or their works such as the recently restored natal home of Colette in rural Burgundy where she lived from 1873 to 1891. Purchased in 2011 and opened to the public in 2016, La maison de Colette is a writer’s house museum that incorporates the interpretive techniques of storytelling to communicate information and engage the emotions and imaginations of visitors as they literally walk in Colette’s footsteps. The director of the museum drew on Colette’s own stories about her childhood to recreate the house and gardens as she would have known them growing up, and to design a narrative for the guided tour that evokes the connection between Colette’s childhood and her genesis as a writer. Each tour is facilitated by a guide who uses storytelling to make Colette’s house come alive and “speak” to each visitor. To illustrate this aspect of storytelling, the author of this essay uses the example of three stories “told” to her during multiple visits to Colette’s house in 2017. The first uses the house to establish the outsider status of the Colette family in the village; the second relates the experience of Colette’s childhood bedroom to her close relationship with her mother; the third focuses on the garden wall featured in Colette’s story “Le curé sur le mur,” to illustrate how imaginative engagement with the enclosed garden provided insights into how Colette developed her sensibilities as a writer.

Mais le Moyen Âge est-il sensible à ses charmes ? En évoque-t-il les sortilèges lorsqu’une femme parle (il ne sera pas ici question du chant, dont les séductions sont bien connues et documentées)? Une idée préconçue veut que la voix féminine soit inaudible dans les textes parce que l’on rêve la femme muette au Moyen Âge. C’est partiellementvrai. Cependant, aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles s’opère une réelle réhabilitation de la parole. Le roman courtois, parce qu’il est contemporain de ce mouvement de revalorisation, et parce qu’il met en scène de nombreux personnages féminins séduisants, sera mon domaine d’exploration : nous rend-il sensibles au doux bruit de la voix féminine? Je montrerai tout d’abord qu’alors même qu’il peut accorder une grande importance à la parole de ses héroïnes, il n’en fait pas beaucoup entendre le son, et j’explorerai ce paradoxe d’une parole sans bruit. J’essaierai parailleurs de montrer que c’est au moment où se construit une culture écrite vernaculaire et où la lecture silencieuse devient la norme que les voix féminines se font plus audibles dans les textes. C’est en effet dans leur rapport au livre que les femmes du roman courtois font le plus clairement résonner une voix séduisante, voire sensuelle et érotique.

Show moreMarie-Madeleine Jodin and Olympe de Gouges were among the women who believed that the new state created by the French Revolution would offer equality to men and women. Both of them published political pamphlets arguing in favor of their sex: Vues législatives pour les femmes by Jodin in 1790 and (among other writings) Déclaration des Droits de la Femme in 1791 by Gouges. Jodin’s pamphlet shows the extent of her culture: she quotes philosophers, uses examples from history, and offers some remarkable perspectives (on prostitution for instance). Gouges’ pamphlet, the most famous of all, is a clever pastiche of the 1789 Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme, and contains her thoughts on marriage,divorce, and illegitimate children. While neither one of them seems to have been truly active in women’s manifestations and clubs or developed contacts with the Assembly or other proto-feminists, both women participated in the Revolution and its events mainly through these writings. This paper explores Jodin’s and Gouges’ paradoxical participation (loud in print but silent in speech) and compares them to other female writers of the Revolution: was their participation atypical or did it represent the norm?

This article will examine two post-revolutionary salonnières who managed to create a space and a role for themselves within the new maledominated literary circles: Juliette Récamier, whose more conventional approach made only slight modifications to the earlier codes of mondain sociability, and Delphine de Girardin, whose more radical approach integrated the new Romantic codes of sociability and literary recitation. The social success of these two women required a strict attention to the codes of feminine speech and silence that complicated women’s participation as literary performers.
