    1. if viewers consider the work carefully they can make out the emotions that characterize the piece and distinguish WHAT and WHY that works

      sounds like our course! I love it!

    2. FORM

      good analysis!

    3. The framing of the painting creates a claustrophobic look, bolstering the message that she's emotionally unavailable as she's all alone.

      I get the sense that even tho she is alone she is comfortable wiht herself and not defeated.

    4. Böcklin's work leaves onlookers allured and conflicted as his gaze signals he has been entranced by Death's song, he leaves people speechless as he has bonded with an anomaly that the vast majority fea

      interesting story and interpretation!

    5. CONTENT

      good analysis!

    6. Rembrandt Peale

      a favorite of mine!

    7. He utilized his resources as an artist to settle the conflict between the doctors and himself by expressing his health through art.

      great observation!

    8. The emotional state of these people frames the piece to genre it as a tragic piece, not only are they dramatically mourning the death of this figure, but they are getting themselves hurt in the process, establishing a message to viewers that people as fanciful as them can deteriorate to a low degree.

      wow that's deep!

    9. Since there is a lack of emotional value as a result of the character being dead, it is up to the viewer to decide what their emotional relationship is

      good analysis! and smart thinking too

    10. Sirani empowers society by transforming one's collected pain into power,

      well said!

    11. CONTEXT

      exellent analysis!

    12. The catch is, for every artwork they analyze, I'd like them to express different thoughts and reactions every time to understand the importance of people being unique. I do not want viewers to resonate with my intentions in this project, but to awaken emotional value within oneself to see what their eyes couldn't

      great idea !

    13. To Writhe in agon

      very evocative!

    14. my museum isn't going to tread towards individuality, I aim to understand HOW emotion impacts art, and how emotion is the scaffolding for artistr

      well said!

    15. to the Unknown

      poetic and inviting!

    1. Nobody knows what Soviet Russia and its Communist international organization intends to do

      Winston Churchill doesn't want to accuse Russia of negative intentions, but he does want to acknowledge the possibility of them becoming a threat to democracy because of their communist state.

    2. The United States stands at this time at the pinnacle of world power.

      After defeating the Axis powers in WWII, The entire world at this point in time regards the United States as the primary world power.

    3. I have a strong admiration and regards for the valiant Russian people and for my wartime comrade, Marshal Stalin.

      This is an attempt to demonstrate respect and the continuance of a possible relationship with the USSR. Churchill does not want to diminish the relationship between Britain and Russia because they had both fought alongside each other in war against the Axis powers.

    4. prove ourselves equal to this severe requirement.

      Since both America and Britain are english speaking countries who value democratic based politics, that requirement alone justifies the idea of a shared mission and goal.

    5. English-speaking peoples in peace as they did in war.

      Since America and Britain share a language, they should feel more inclined to ally with each other against other foreign powers.

    6. To reject it or ignore it or fritter it away will bring upon us all the long reproaches of the after-time.

      If the United States does not accept this extension of a truce with Britain, than there will be repercussions in the future.

    7. for both our countries.

      Churchill is attempting to propose that in order to reach these standards that have now been set by the end of the World War, the United States must work with Britain.

    1. posts are collected into a digest once a day. posts from yesterday are deleted, forever, every day. posts are a draft and can be edited until the moment that yesterday is deleted and tomorrow becomes today. posts are only visible between people who "add" one another ("mutual follows"). it's become a sort of collaborative daily newspaper written by friends.

      This is so cute I could die.

      You might think it reduces to email newsgroup, and yes okay of course almost, but not quite. The "mutual follow" aspect means that you could have a group of people with generally mutual interests, but if someone finds someone else's writing style annoying, they'd just be snipped out for each other, rather than one or the other having to Leave The Group. (Also editing would be harder in whatever the email implementation of this would need to look like, though I'll admit I can't see that being the killer feature)

      Cold start problem if you don't mean it for a pretty closed social circle. I wonder if you would end up with social norms around it – writing a line at the end of your post with some usernames to follow that you recommend, letting people optimistically try to add each other and see if they'd matched up...

    1. update your model of the world,

      We are not machine building models of the world. We are able to feel into it be alive with it.

    2. exploration (information gain) and exploitation (utility, having the world match our expectations).

      It is a balance

    1. (22%) ( 25%) ( 20%)

      how about 100% ?

    2. hese overlapping shapes create depth and complexity while still making it flat. The contour and outlines of the objects are incomplete or fragmented

      good osbservation !

    3. CHECK PLEASE

      really clever use of the theme throughout!!

    4. The color is a bit flatter with not too much texture on this piece. the dessert is presented in an upright symmetrical style, emphasizing its elegant and fun nature

      good form analysis!

    5. straight orderly rows across the counter emphasizing repetition and Geometry. The Bold, darker outlines around the pies and plates gives them an almost cartoon like quality, like it’s too good to be true. The counter is rendered with smoother, flatter brush work creating distinction between the choices. The vibrant yellows and brown contrasts against the cooler toned counter evoking the sweetness of the dessert

      good analysis!

    6. the clean rounded lines of the scoops contrast with the sharp pointed edges of the cones. Thick creamy paint is applied in layers bringing that creamy ice cream texture to life. Cones while textured a less than that of the ice cream creating contrast between the creamy softness and crisp cone. the cones and scoops are reduced to their basic geometric shape,

      good analysis!

    7. like mass production we see in everyday life, luckily different flavors.

      good connection

    8. White Tones of the tablecloth and wall create a sense of cleanliness and purity, while the warm colors of the food evoke warmth and comfort. the painting centers a family gathered around the table depicting everyday life conveying a universal longing for security and comfort.

      good analysis of form

    9. esus is centered forming a calm triangular shape that contrasts the gestures and actions of the disciples. Leonardo uses a linear perspective to draw attention to Jesus with a vanishing point above his head emphasizing his status and role.

      good analysis of form

    10. So has food, it’s a symbol just like the symbolism in this piece

      good connection!

    11. exact appetizer.

      good overall analysis of form in this caption.

    12. execution is much more modern and energeti

      good observation! this caption is missing the same level of analysis that the others included

    13. When the natural light hits you can see the water from the ocean in the oyster itself

      so cool!

    14. As we know and love today as brunch! The placement of these objects leads your eyes diagonally across the canvas from the subject to the background creating depth for us.

      good observation!

    15. typical of linocuts, and gives this piece actual texture. Negative spaces highlight the contours of our bottle

      the contrast of negative and positive space is often a feature of a linocut as well!

    16. Our First Course introduces us to Appetizers

      love how you carried the theme in to the rooms!

    17. Please dig in and follow your own tastebuds

      clever!

    18. brings people together no matter the setting.

      very uplifting idea!

    19. Taste

      oroginal and inventive theme!

    1. more likely to favour White individuals over Black individuals

      Interesting finding and wording –  Pro-White implicit attitudes leads to higher likeliness to favor whites over blacks. This isn't surprising. However, according to other similar studies, it seems simply having pro-White implicit bias directly correlated to having anti-Black implicit bias (economic game & anger in faces).

      Taken together, study seems to suggest that simply having pro-White attitudes directly lead to having anti-Black attitudes. Not clear that one directly means the other, but it suggests the common trend is that if you have pro-White attitudes, you will therefore have anti-Black attitudes. In order to not have anti-Black attitudes, you must not have pro-White attitudes either.

    1. Dans cette vidéo, la commande utilisée pour le presse papier est  pbcopy  car le système d'exploitation est Mac. Cependant, si vous utilisez Windows, la commande à utiliser est  clip

      Même en utilisant le clip je n'ai pas pu copier la clé. Comment faire

    1. . It is a gift, it is beautiful, it is complicated, it is never a waste, and it is worth it.

      great exit label!

    2. The tragic yet genius symbolism is a great detail.

      agreed!

    3. he looks up in an almost prayer-like way as if to ask the Gods why his love has been turned down

      you have a very poetic way of describing the content throughout this whole project!

    4. The strong theme of betrayal, abandonment, and heartbreak

      most of the second half of this caption is about form, but still excellent observations.

    5. this symbolizes that she finds peace in the embrace of nature.

      very thoughtful!

    6. The Museum of Love does not condone self-harm or suicide by any means including but not limited to: Harsh rejection, self poisoning, stabbing yourself when your lover was poisoned, purposeful snakebite, etc.

      nice disclaimer. You could link to crisis resources too,

    7. Anyone and everyone who has loved knows this. It doesn't always end well. You don't always get your happily-ever-after.

      everyone can relate to this!

    8. The shapes of this piece being organic and curved almost gives it a sense of purposeful informality, showing that love is natural and something that can be appreciated messily.

      lovely observation - so true and very insightful connection to form!!

    9. Rodin found himself to be similar to Pygmalion in that he loved his creations so much that he wished they were more than just sculptures.

      nice context conneciton !

    10. These next pieces show deep, passionate love that has grown and spread its roots deep into the ground.

      only three works in this room...

    11. Content

      excellent content analysis!! throughout the whole room!

    12. scandalous story being told. through clues in the subtext,

      great observation!

    13. All the babies have a different facial expression that shows a different mood

      very relatable !

    14. This museum is meant to provoke thoughts on love on a deeper level than the surface. Think on whether or not you relate to the message of some pieces

      great way to include your viewers!

    15. Love Lounge

      great title, it conveys a lot of meaning right off the bat!

    16. However, love is not always the sunniest walk in the prettiest park

      very poetic!

    1. The Experiment Must Continue: Medical Research and Ethics in East Africa, 1940-2014 (Ohio University Press, 2015) tells the story of human experimentation and medical ethics in East Africa from 1940 to the present.

      This book is an important reference that will be needed for future researchers and historians. It is always good to reflect on what we have done in the past, try and take what works, and also look at it through a perspective lens. The way of the world changes through generations, and what we did in the past, which was acceptable, may be different now, or new data shows a better way. Having this documented to go back on is always smart as a good frame of reference.

    2. The project will conclude with the development of a best practices guide that will be widely shared among development economists and stakeholder organizations through conferences, workshops, teaching guides, and articles to facilitate further conversation on best practices in this area.

      This is good because it is sharing information across many different organizations. I believe that this should be a standard in our industry and the thought needs to extend past just the stakeholders, but all parties involved.

    3. Through surveys and in-depth interviewing, we will also gather perspectives from development economists and African research participants regarding their experiences with RCTs and their expectations about if, when, and how results should be returned.

      This is important because it provides transparency in research. Results should be completely transparent when dealing with research. It should be shared across the board, and unless it is crossing any ethical lines then I believe this transparency will be a benefit.

    4. This is a new collaborative research project, funded with a 3-year NSF Standard award through the Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) Program area, which is being completed with co-PIs Alfredo Burlando and Ted Miguel of CEGA (UC Berkeley), in addition to Judith Meta assisting in East Africa.

      Brining in more people to share the responsibility of ethical research will make future researchers that much better in conducting research ethically and responsibility.

    5. The project will be based in East Africa, and will focus specifically on the ethics and practice of returning research results to African participants.

      I believe this is good because it is showing we have moved to a strengths based research. When you look at the data as human beings and making sure that they are looked at after the research ends then it makes the data that much more valuable.

    6. The volume focuses on the creative and dynamic ways that people in African contexts are using their leisure time, having fun, being creative, and engaging in forms of expressive culture.

      I like how they are very inventive. In a country that is definitely not like America, and does not have the same resources as we do, you have to be more creative and engaging with your time. I would be interested to see what they do.

    7. The volume focuses on the creative and dynamic ways that people in African contexts are using their leisure time, having fun, being creative, and engaging in forms of expressive culture.

      I love this! The are looking at the African people and their lives as a whole. They are real people, and the beauty and reality of their lives is just as important to research as the data is.

    8. The Experiment Must Continue: Medical Research and Ethics in East Africa, 1940-2014 (Ohio University Press, 2015) tells the story of human experimentation and medical ethics in East Africa from 1940 to the present. The book draws on research conducted in more than 15 different places, searching for documents or people who could help reconstruct the history of medical research in the region, and integrates new archival materials from Mwanza and Amani (Tanzania).

      I like how they are looking back on human experimentation and medical ethics in East Africa from 1940 to present. It is nice to learn from the bad and from the good that happened from the past. I remember being told that we need to learn from our past mistakes so we dont repeat them. This is a good way to learn and to stay humble. But it is also to know that these people were just victims that they were strong as well.

    9. Through surveys and in-depth interviewing, we will also gather perspectives from development economists and African research participants regarding their experiences with RCTs and their expectations about if, when, and how results should be returned.

      The best way to find figure out how to do things right is finding out what has been done wrong. Interviewing participants and truly caring about what they have to say is at the heart of doing it right. Learning with participants instead of just learning about them... Perspective, Perspective, Perspective.

    10. Publications and works-in-progress that are derived from this grant include:

      By providing us with all the publications we can really see what all goes into the grant. It shows that a great number of people are interested in providing/giving out more information about Malaria and more.

    11. Through surveys and in-depth interviewing

      When we read about how surveys and interviewing were done in earlier times, there was a lot of miscommunication. I wonder if there would be translators with them. Also, would these individuals understand to the point of being able to give full consent on what they are giving answers to.

    12. Melissa Graboyes. Blog Post. “We’re Succeeding in Our Fight Against Malaria—Now It’s Time to Plan for Failure.” British Medical Journal: theBMJopinion. October 10, 2019. HERE

      I like how Graboyes links her other research into this section. I think that its shows her authenticity as well as her passion with this particular research.

    13. Working closely with a team of co-authors, including Judith Meta in Tanzania and undergraduate students from the UO’s Clark Honors College, we have a series of articles addressing the major themes of the grant.

      Working in collaboration is a great plan for Ethical accountability. I also like that she noted addressing major themes of the grant as multiple minds and experiences put together brings out a wealth of useful and cultivated perspectives.

    14. we have a series of articles addressing the major themes of the grant

      Making sure there is many ways for more and more people to see/realize the different themes. I feel it is important to be able to provide more then one way of getting the information out.

    15. The volume focuses on the creative and dynamic ways that people in African contexts are using their leisure time, having fun, being creative, and engaging in forms of expressive culture.

      This volume of "Africa Every Day" highlights the positive experiences of people living in African countries and what they enjoy doing in their free time. This sheds a positive light on their culture and the way they live their lives without the negative implications about war or major crimes which is a helpful counterpoint.

    16. Ongoing research in this area will continue with Camille Cioffi of the UO’s Prevention Science Institute, and appropriately motivated undergraduate students.

      I like how they are really trying to motivate students and that they are continuing the research as it is a important topic.

    17. This line of inquiry has grown out of my advising of Honors College undergraduates writing their theses while volunteering with the local public health organization

      Incorporating a way for students to be able to complete their theses while also volunteering with the local public health organization could be a bit overwhelming but if executed correctly, serve as a great opportunity for students. Hands-on work and volunteering have been a staple in my undergraduate education, and they have provided many helpful insights.

    18. meant as a counterpoint to the bulk of materials available for undergraduate African Studies courses

      This really shows the amount of materials that are provided.

    19. undergraduate students from the UO’s Clark Honors College

      I think it is important that it was mentioned that students were able to contribute to this project.

    20. 5-year NSF CAREER award through the Science and Technology Studies (STS) program area, and work began in 2019.

      The fact that this project has received such a funding awards proves that the research is worth the time and money that it requires. It would not received a long term fund unless it had been reviewed and approved by appropriate IRB's.

    21. It is meant as a counterpoint to the bulk of materials available for undergraduate African Studies courses that emphasize war, poverty, corruption, disease, and human rights violations.

      I like how the book Africa Every Day: Fun, Leisure, and Expressive Culture on the Continent shows the positive aspects to Africa. We see on the news or read in the papers way to often the negative sides to Africa. We hear more about their wars and corruption, their diseases and human rights violations and trafficing, and the major poverty issues that the country faces all the time. It is refreshing to see more positives about the country.

    22. Malaria as an Environmental Disease in Contemporary Zanzibar.

      This is considering place and people.

    23. Through surveys and in-depth interviewing, we will also gather perspectives from development economists and African research participants regarding their experiences with RCTs and their expectations about if, when, and how results should be returned

      This as great method for creating an ethical study that maintains integrity and transparency with the study participants. Efforts to maintain these things while conducting a study is essential for the success of the study and the safety of the study participants.

    24. It is funded with a 5-year NSF CAREER award through the Science and Technology Studies (STS) program area, and work began in 2019. The project draws on archival research at the Zanzibar National Archives and the WHO archives, ethnographic research in Zanzibar, and nearly 100 interviews conducted with Zanzibaris

      This reminded me of the 4 Ps that we covered in class as it is explaining the background of the study. The text describes the people, place, and principles in this study and why they are significant.

    25. Ongoing research in this area will continue with Camille Cioffi of the UO’s Prevention Science Institute, and appropriately motivated undergraduate students.

      I like how there is a meaningful partnership with the community and the health organizations and NGOs. I love how undergraduate students are able to participate in the ongoing research and learning valuable research skills while also being able to help the community. This is also on a global health scale which is also benefiting the students.

    26. focused on the needs and experiences of people who inject drugs (PWIDs).

      This to me is beautiful research and I would go as far as to call it "care research". We do not know how to treat people if we don't know their needs and experiences. This is fully person centered research and I believe it is THE way to do human research.

    27. The project will be based in East Africa, and will focus specifically on the ethics and practice of returning research results to African participants

      This immediately reminded me of the unethical studies carried out by the U.S. in other countries in the past. It is refreshing to see the correct precautions be taken to ensure ethics are involved with the study.

    1. 20.1. What is Colonialism?# As most social media platforms are headquartered in a very set of locations (e.g., Silicon Valley in the US, and Beijing China), but used all over the world, it is important for us to look at the concepts and history of colonialism to understand what it means for social media to be controlled in these few places. So let’s start by defining colonialism and some related concepts. 20.1.1. Colonialism Defined# Colonialism is when one group or country subjugates another group, often imposing laws, religion, culture, and languages on that group, and taking resources from them. Colonialism is often justified by belief that the subjugated people are inferior (e.g., barbaric, savage, godless, backwards), and the superiority of the group doing the subjugation (e.g., civilized, advanced).

      Similarly to capitalism, I've heard colonialism be used a lot throughout my life, but I never had a concrete definition for it. Now that I'm reading the definition, I'm shocked that it applies to social media in some cases, but it also makes sense, so I'm not too surprised. In any case, where one group of people is calling another group of people bad for no reason, I think it's a bad issue.

    2. You can tell how capitalism was inspired or infnluenced by colonialism which was older. This is shown in how one group or person has the msot pwoer and sets the rules and laws in a place. In colonialism, the country imposes laws, culture, and language on the group and in capitalism, the same can be said in how there might be a language policy or code of conduct in the company that everyone has to follow

    1. 19.1. What is Capitalism?# Why do social media platforms make decisions that harm users? And why do social media platforms sometimes go down paths of self-destruction and alienating their users? Sometimes these questions can be answered by looking at the economic forces that drive decision-making on social media platforms, in particular with capitalism. So let’s start by defining capitalism. 19.1.1. Definition of Capitalism:# Capitalism is: “an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market” Merriam-Webster Dictionary In other words, capitalism is a system where: Individuals or corporations own businesses These business owners make what they want and set their own prices. They compete with other businesses to convince customers to buy their products. These business owners then hire wage laborers at predetermined rates for their work, while the owners get the excess business profits or losses

      I've heard the word capitalism a lot throughout my life, so I sort of built a definition in my head. But I never actually knew the true definition. I see it as another form of corruption in our society, but maybe it's also used for good. I understand that the social media apps I use daily aren't created for my enjoyment but instead created to bring in the most profit.

    2. fiduciary duty,

      The concept of fiduciary duty is why more economic left minded people proclaim "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism". It is not that capitalism is immoral, but amoral; completely devoid of moral thinking, only "more money" or "less money". While this can lead to more ethical behavior, it frequently does not.

    3. In what ways do you see capitalism, socialism, and other funding models show up in the country you are from or are living in?

      In the United States, capitalism is the dominant economic system, with private enterprise, market competition, and profit-driven incentives guiding most industries. However, elements of socialism can be seen in public services like healthcare (Medicare, Medicaid), education funding, and social safety nets such as unemployment benefits, which aim to address inequality and provide basic welfare.

    4. we need to understand in order to get to the details of decision-making and strategies employed by social media companies. Shares / Stocks Shares or stocks are ownership of a percentage of a business, normally coming with getting a percentage of the profits and a percentage of power in making business decisions. Companies then have a board of directors who represent these shareholders. The board is in charge of choosing who runs the company (the CEO). They have the power to hire and fire CEOs For example: in 1985, the board of directors for Apple Computers denied Steve Jobs (co-founded Apple) the position of CEO and then they fired him completely CEOs of companies (like Mark Zuckerberg of Meta) are often both wage-laborers (they get a salary, Zuckerberg gets a tiny symbolic $1/year) and shareholders (they get a share of the profits, Zuckerberg owns 16.8%)

      I think this is very interesting. When people think of the Apple brand, they tend to think of Steve Jobs. And tacitly assumed that this was Jobs's company. But in the capitalist system, Jobs is just a "puppet" of capitalism. You can fire him when they don't need him.

    5. I could see capitalism showing up in the country I am living from in different businesses, as the CEO and board of directors usually decides a lot of the things. It is important and interesting how potential experts like sales people who know the ideal price of something can only advise the head of the company for the final decision of thigns like price.

    1. Then be not coy, but use your time,

      The message that you can't control the passage of time and eventually youth is spent and you die can seem defeating, but he adds that there are things you can control so you shouldn't take your opportunities and your autonomy for granted.

    2. The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he’s a-getting, The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he’s to setting.

      Comparing the sun to heaven. When the sun is high, during the day, heaven is far away, the idea of death is out of mind but heaven overlooks everything from a distance. As the sun sets, heaven gets closer to us, we're no longer protected by its divinity, death meets us at ground level and confronts us eventually.

    1. What if social media sites were governed by their users instead of by shareholders (e.g., governed by the subjugated instead of the colonialists)??

      I think the situation may be sightly different by generally goes back to previous situation. People all have their preferences and they govern the social media by their own way. Users can from different group and then the most powerful group may govern the social media totally again.

    2. hat if social media sites were governed by their users instead of by shareholders (e.g., governed by the subjugated instead of the colonialists)?

      While I have hope that this would lead to more ethical behavior on the part of the platform holder, understanding how anarchy sites (8chan) work, I do not believe that things can soley be ran by users.

    3. What if social media sites were governed by their users instead of by shareholders (e.g., governed by the subjugated instead of the colonialists)?

      If social media sites were governed by their users instead of shareholders, it could shift the focus from maximizing profits to prioritizing user well-being, privacy, and democratic participation. Decisions about content moderation, platform policies, and algorithmic transparency would likely become more community-driven, reducing the monopolistic control of corporations and allowing more equitable, diverse representation of voices, although it could also create challenges in terms of accountability and managing complex global issues.

    1. His work stands in direct defiance to calls for a returnto real evidence.

      how?

    Annotators

    1. What if there were a social media site funded by the government as a government service (e.g., democratic socialism)?

      I think then the social media is highly likely to express government's ideas and be a platform to promoting new policies. Social media may also collect information of users that support and deny this party, which can be vital in election.

    1. ). Z drugiej strony, niektóre osoby z ASD mają tendencję do bycia niewrażliwymi na ból i temperaturę (28), a nadwrażliwość i niedowrażliwość są czasami współistniejące (12). Jednak ze względu na dużą różnorodność problemów sensorycznych potrzebne są dalsze badania w celu określenia problemów sensorycznych u osób z zaburzeniami neurorozwojowymi (13, 29).

      Współwystępująca niedowrażliwość i nadwrazliwość sensoryczna

    2. Od 60% do 90% osób z ASD doświadcza problemów sensorycznych (4–10). Chociaż trudno to uogólnić, osoby z ASD wykazują zakres preferencji wrażliwości (w tym nadwrażliwość i niedowrażliwość), zniekształceń sensorycznych, przeciążenia, wielokanałowej percepcji i trudności w przetwarzaniu (11). Problemy sensoryczne u osób z ASD są widoczne w modalnościach słuchowych, wzrokowych i dotykowych (12), a metaanalizy wskazują na istnienie atypowej modulacji sensorycznej u wielu osób z ASD (13, 14).Ponadto, oprócz ASD, zespół nadpobudliwości psychoruchowej z deficytem uwagi (ADHD) i specyficzne zaburzenie uczenia się (SLD) są również zaliczane do zaburzeń neurorozwojowych w DSM-5 i mogą również powodować problemy sensoryczne, podobne do ASD. Na przykład osoby z ADHD również wykazują wysokie wyniki w zakresie wrażliwości sensorycznej i unikania wrażeń (15), chociaż trudno jest określić, na ile wynika to z potencjalnego nakładania się z ASD. Badania neuroobrazowe wykazały wspólne zmiany w istocie białej mózgu i jej połączeniach z ASD w odniesieniu do nadwrażliwości (16, 17). Z kolei wyższe wyniki w przetwarzaniu wzrokowym zaobserwowano u dzieci z ADHD w porównaniu z dziećmi z ASD i dziećmi rozwijającymi się typowo, podczas gdy wyniki przetwarzania oralnego były najwyższe u dzieci z ASD (18). Te doniesienia sugerują, że istnieją wspólne, ale częściowo odmienne cechy sensoryczne między osobami z ASD i ADHD.

    1. In order for these users to still get the information intended from the images, the image can come with alt-text. You can read more about alt-text in this New York Times feature Reddit unfortunately doesn’t allow alt-text for their images. So while we were going to have a programming demo here to look up the alt-text, there is no alt-text on images uploaded to Reddit to look up, meaning this site is unfriendly to blind or low-vision users.

      The lack of alt-text on Reddit images points to a larger issue in digital design—ensuring accessibility for all users. Platforms need to prioritize features that make their content usable for everyone, including blind or low-vision users, as part of their commitment to inclusivity.

    1. Reusing code instead of repeating code: When we find ourselves repeating a set of actions in our program, we end up writing (or copying) the same code multiple times. If we put that repeated code in a function, then we only have to write it once and then use that function in all the places we were repeating the code.

      This explanation underscores the importance of using functions to promote efficiency and maintainability in programming. By reusing code, we reduce redundancy, make our programs easier to debug, and set a foundation for more scalable software development practices.

    1. In order to test out data mining on Twitter, we are going to use a Natural Language Processing library, which gives us functions to work with langauge data such as sentences, words, etc. You don’t need to know the details of how these work internally, but we will be using the “Natural Language Toolkit” along with the “Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner” (or VADER) lexicon.

      It’s fascinating to see how Natural Language Processing libraries, like NLTK and VADER, simplify the complex task of analyzing textual data. This accessibility allows us to focus on extracting meaningful insights from social media without needing a deep understanding of the underlying algorithms.

    1. Anonymity can encourage inauthentic behavior because, with no way of tracing anything back to you1, you can get away with pretending you are someone you are not, or behaving in ways that would get your true self in trouble.

      Anonymity indeed creates a double-edged sword in online interactions. While it can foster free expression and protect privacy, it also allows individuals to engage in harmful or deceptive behavior without accountability, which poses significant challenges for maintaining trust in digital spaces.

    1. As a social media user, we hope you are informed about things like: how social media works, how they influence your emotions and mental state, how your data gets used or abused, strategies in how people use social media, and how harassment and spam bots operate.

      This statement emphasizes the need for digital literacy among social media users, empowering them to understand the platforms they engage with. Being informed about these aspects helps users make conscious choices and protect themselves in the digital environment.

    1. But even people who thought they were doing something good regretted the consequences of their creations, such as Eli Whitney who hoped his invention of the cotton gin would reduce slavery in the United States, but only made it worse, or Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite (which could be used in construction or in war) and decided to create the Nobel prizes, or Albert Einstein regretting his role in convincing the US government to invent nuclear weapons, or Aza Raskin regretting his invention infinite scroll.

      This sentence highlights the unintended consequences of technological advancements, even when created with good intentions. It reminds us of the importance of considering ethical implications and potential long-term impacts when developing new technologies.

    1. 20.2. Colonialism in Tech# The tech industry is full of colonialist thinking and practices, some more subtle than others. To begin with, much of the tech industry is centralized geographically, specifically in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, California. The leaders and decisions in how tech operates come out of this one wealthy location in a wealthy nation. Then, much of tech is dependent on exploiting cheap labor, often in dangerous conditions, in other countries (thus extracting the resource of cheap labor, from places with “inferior” governments and economies). This labor might be physical labor, or dealing with dangerous chemicals, or the content moderators who deal with viewing horrific online content. Tech industry leaders in Silicon Valley then take what they made with exploited labor, and sell it around the world, feeling good about themselves, believing they are benefitting the world with their “superior” products.

      Apple, for example, uses the idea of colonialism. Their products are often designed and conceived in the United States. Then, taking advantage of the cheap labor in Asia, colonialism generally allowed East Asian countries, such as China and Vietnam, to produce in order to obtain maximum benefits

    2. I feel like the one laptop per child was actually a great idea. But I think they failed to account for the immense complications that the unprivileged face.

    3. I feel like colonialism affected the development of tech in specific areas of the world. Like in my country Uganda, we are not as technologically advanced.

    1. As women were advancing the field of computer programming, some of them became frustrated with how they were viewed, such as Margaret Hamilton:

      Margaret Hamilton's frustration sheds light on the challenges women faced in being recognized for their significant contributions to programming. Her experience reminds us of the importance of valuing the individuals who push the boundaries of innovation, regardless of societal biases.

    2. As you may have noticed in chapter 2 of the book, the first programmers were almost all women. When computers were being invented, men put themselves in charge of building the physical devices (hardware), and then gave the work of programming the computer (software) to their assistants, often women.

      This point is fascinating because it highlights how gender roles have historically shaped technology fields. The division of labor between hardware and software reflects societal perceptions at the time, undervaluing the intellectual contributions of programming and the women who pioneered it.

    1. The woman waited for me there As down the little street I trod, And musing on her oily hair, I turned into the house of God.

      The woman waited on the speaker who gave her life

    2. The days went by like dead leaves falling, And parson’s week came round again. Once more devout old maids were bawling Their ugly rhymes of death and pain.

      The woman was dying, and made horrible noises.

    3. The weeks went by, and many a day That black-haired woman did implore Me as I hurried on my way To come more often than before.

      The woman needs the speaker to feel better.

    4. Why did I come, the woman cried So seldom to her bed of ease? When I was not, her spirit died And would I give her ten rupees

      When the speaker was there the woman's spirt rises, but when he is not there her spirit dies.

    5. The house of sin was dark and mean, With dying flowers round the doors; They spat the betel juice between The rotten bamboo of the floors.

      The house of sin is not taken care of, it represent neglect and the opposites of holiness

    6. I thought of all the church bells ringing In towns that Christian folks were in; I heard the godly maidens singing; I turned into the house of sin.

      Despite thinking of all the good and Holy things, the speaker still chooses to go into the evil house of sin.

    7. Within, old maids were caterwauling A dismal tale of thorns and blood.

      people were in distress while telling a story that involved horror and blood.

    8. Without, the weary doves were calling, The sun burned on the banks of mud;

      Doves are exhausted, and the sun shines down discomfort.

    9. Empty as death and slow as pain The days went by on leaden feet;

      Suffering in the life he lives.

    10. And parson’s week had come again As I walked down the little street.

      A routing that has been done before and is now becoming old.

    1. tips have come in as recently as the last month and are being followed up

      Why didn't they include the tips in the article? Are they perhaps hiding something?

    2. Hours later,

      This is interesting wording which makes the family seem suspicious. Why didn't they check the basement almost automatically, why hours later?

    3. Unknown DNA was found under her fingernails and in her underwear.

      How is that possible? Isn't the technology supposed to be very high-tech because that is what they have been praising over majority of this article.

    4. John and Patsy Ramsey and their son were cleared as suspects in 2008

      I think it's interesting how this is mentioned very briefly at the end. As someone who has followed this case for several years, I still have reasons to believe that someone in the family might have had something to do with her murder. While this states that they were cleared in 2008, how is this possible if they haven't used the certain technology until now? I wouldn't be surprised if new news came out suspecting that it actually was one of the family members. Also, during this case, the family was displayed very differently in the media because they were a very well-known and wealthy family in their area, so I think that would be an interesting point to add to the essay.

    1. died on Friday in Dayton, Ohio

      This is incorrect. She died in a car crash on SR-3 in Genoa Township, OH (north east of Columbus) on 2024-11-22. According to the accident report, the Delaware County Coroner transported her body to the Montgomery County Coroner's office at that time.

    1. And so Joe Biden’s half-century-plus political career ends not with a bang but an all-too-fitting whimper.

      That line is crazy.

    2. he listed all his imaginary achievements.

      This author does not like Biden.

    3. Was his endorsement of Kamala Harris as the replacement nominee a subtle sort of revenge for the party’s rejection?

      This is conflicted with other article's opinions. This phrasing suggests that the author does not think Harris is a good fit. Why is his endorsement for Harris a revenge?

    4. Yet his subtle slurring, his mulish self-praise and trope-packed blather made it plain he’ll be lucky to serve as a feeble figurehead ’til January.

      This article seems more opinionated than factual. They clearly show they don't think Biden is fit and seem harsh about his capabilities.

    5. was the ghost of an explanation for why he dropped out of his re-election race: the “need to unite my party.”

      Saying "the ghost" suggests there was a lack of a reason or maybe they didn't think his reason was valid. This ties into the title and the author's belief that he dropped because his party "didn't want him".

    1. The Boeing 737 Max has been described as "the most scrutinised transport aircraft in history" after a series of safety issues.

      Not good. Should Boeing stop what they are doing? Fire people?

    2. described the flight as a "trip from hell

      Will these people every fly again? Are they too scared to?

    3. Evan Smith, one of the 171 passengers

      BBC uses direct quotes from a few passengers reflecting on their experience. Good usage of direct quotes

    4. no concerning findings".

      when a whole part of the plane ripped off?

    5. blows out

      "Blows out" is a common phrase used in many headlines

    1. The sports world was rocked this week

      Strong word choice to indicate how important this story is and the importance that the outcome will be on MLB, the Dodgers, and Ohtani

    2. Shohei Ohtani, his interpreter and wire transfers: A timeline

      The headline of the article does not indicate who is at fault but simply give readers the information that the article will be a detailed view of the events that had happened up to that point

    1. Mr Combs she realised he had a “tremendously loyal network”

      Just like a king, he has a trusted circle of individuals that help him keep his power. Often this "loyal network" uses scare tactics to belittle others from sharing their truth.

    2. In these lawsuits, both men and women say they were coerced or forced into sex,

      Abuse of power, exerting one's force upon others to get your way. Just like how royalty or government authorities exert their power to control citizens.

    3. he said he believed the party could open doors to a music career.

      Diddy had power to make things happen.

    4. exclusive

      Only the best of best celebrities would be invited to these parties. Diddy only surrounded himself with other people of prominence, just like how most royalty only truly associates with other royalty.

    5. Beverly Hills’s most expensive street.

      A king's castle

    6. “There were always guns around Diddy,”

      Like a king, Diddy was always protected. He had his own personal "military"

    7. He also claims Mr Combs also held a deep fascination with the British royal family.

      Royalty narrative. This obsession with the royal family signifies that Diddy thrives to have authority over others.

    8. "I've seen the imbalance of power,"

      king narrative? or dictator narrative?

    9. the rapper was the “ringmaster”.

      King narrative -> the one IN CHARGE of a circus He runs the show

    10. Mr Shuter said Mr Combs was obsessed with power and a deep desire to remain famous, explaining the star loved to have his photo taken

      Constant attention to prove and to really showcase the grasp he had over others and the media.

    11. centre of the entertainment industry.

      Prominence. Like a king, Diddy wanted all eyes to be on him and constant attention from those he deemed were below him.

    12. The party king who coveted royalty

      Back to the king and royalty narrative.

    13. One lawyer said he represents more than 100 alleged victims who claim they were sexually abused.

      News value: unusualness -> huge amount of people have suffered, normally, unfortunately, sexual assault cases involve a low number of people.

    14. Mr Combs’s fall from grace

      Biblical reference from the fall of Adam and Eve after Original Sin. Signifies a sudden decline or loss of status, prestige, and respect.

    15. presided over

      Superiority narrative. Literally paints the picture of Diddy standing over others, like a king over his subjects.

    16. height of his fame

      Relates back to "downfall", past tense

    17. Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton and Jennifer Lopez, it was a chance to rub shoulders with some of the biggest celebrities. Jay-Z and Beyoncé even released new music at his events.

      Prominence, all huge, influential celebrities Metaphor: "rub shoulders" signifying someone of social significance

    18. There was a time when an invitation to a party hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs was one of the most sought-after tickets in the entertainment industry.

      Prominence again, "most sought-after" also can relate back to the superiority narrative, everyone strived to be like him or around him

    19. downfall

      This signifies a certain fall from grace from the top. -> News value: Prominence

    20. king

      This signifies power/control over others. Thus the narrative will follow along the lines that Diddy views himself as superior to all and as "king" exerts his power over others.

    1. Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association recently extended Franco's administrative leave through July 14, a procedural move while the Dominican authorities worked on the criminal case.

      He hasn't played since the charges came out.

    2. Six days later, after further review of the evidence, a judge in the Dominican Republic instead accused Franco of a lesser charge of sexual and psychological abuse.

      I wonder how.

    3. The mother of the girl, who is being accused of sexual exploitation and money laundering, was charged with human trafficking as well.

      so he was paying the mother to use her daughter?

    4. Franco, 23, agreed to an 11-year, $182 million contract extension in November 2021, just 70 games into his major league career.

      Makes sense considering he's a phenomenal ballplayer, unfortunately he's a less phenomenal person.

    1. “The question is, was it the primary failure, or a secondary failure from something else happening?”

      This raises a good question. following a theme of "Who is to blame?".

    2. “We’ve made thousands and thousands and thousands of dives with other countries as well to these depths and have never had an incident,”

      Just because there haven't been past incidents, doesn't mean incidents are never going to happen.

    3. in 2018 warning that its “current experimental approach … could result in negative outcomes (from minor to catastrophic) that would have serious consequences for everyone in the industry.”

      "Expert" after expert raised concern, and yet nothing was done.

    4. wasn’t being examined by a third party.

      Second time we've heard this

    5. He advocated for “nondestructive testing,” such as ultrasonic scans, but the company refused

      The company showing negligence

    6. the vessel lost contact with its mother ship in the unforgiving North Atlantic.

      This highlights that the water they were in is harsh and dangerous.

    7. in a 2018 lawsuit that the company’s testing and certification was insufficient and would “subject passengers to potential extreme danger in an experimental submersible.”

      Clearly an issue the company has seen before.

    8. OceanGate was also warned that a lack of third party scrutiny of the vessel during development could pose catastrophic safety problems.

      Why no third party? Is a third party common when evaluating submarines?

    9. Each trip would put tiny cracks in the structure. “This might be small and undetectable to start but would soon become critical and produce rapid and uncontrollable growth,” he said.

      How did no one notice this? Surely it would be detectable over time. If they knew the vessel was subjected to more pressure, wouldn't they make sure after every dive that no damage had been done?

    10. meant it was subjected to more external pressure.

      They knew this, so what precautions were taken to balance this risk?

    11. It was touted for a roomier cylinder-shaped cabin made of a carbon-fiber — a departure from the sphere-shaped cabins made of titanium used by most submersibles.

      Humans always want to find ways to make things more luxurious. In this case, the design was clearly meant to fit more people, and possibly make more money per trip, as opposed to a cramped sphere shape that holds less people.

    12. first began taking people to the Titanic in 2021

      I wasn't aware that the imploding expedition wasn't the first. So it was successful before.

    13. Experts say the Titan sub’s unconventional design may have destined it for disaster

      immediately, places blame on the design. "unconventional" "experts"

    14. its creator’s refusal to submit to independent checks that are standard in the industry.

      So far the creator is mentioned but nameless. This is placing blame on the creator and hinting at negligence.

    1. Preventing Competition# Most importantly, they can prevent a competitor from taking hold. If these people got Internet access through a non-Facebook option, they might join a new or competing social media network, and through the network effect, that competing Network might take off. And that would be a threat to Meta trying to corner the market on Social Media. A particularly telling example of this is the story of WhatsApp: Though WhatsApp was founded in the US (in 2009), it became very popular outside the US, becoming much more commonly used than Facebook Messenger. Facebook was terrified of losing out on the non-US market, since they wanted to control everything, so in 2014 Facebook spent $19 billion dollars to purchase WhatsApp:

      I find this interesting how when huge companies find competition with smaller companies, they decide to purchase that smaller company instead of making there on company better.

    1. Mark Zuckerberg here has put himself in the position of a “White Savior” who has come to fix the problems of people all over the world by giving them the Internet. But we can question whether his plan is a good one. First: do users want the connection that Mark Zuckerberg is offering? The answer is at least in part yes, as people have signed up for the Internet through Zuckerberg’s program, and many are excited to access resources and be connected to the online world like everyone else. Second: is connecting everyone a good thing? The answer to this is not necessarily yes. The 1979 comedic sci-Fi novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, mocks the idea of the good of connecting everyone: [I]f you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. […] Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.

      Mark Zuckerberg calling himself the White savior seems extremely interesting and it also highlights the consequences and challenges of tech expansion. While this plan of his may seem Noble and kind, it may also be questioned as he may be doing this only for monetary gain.

    1. claims that the MLB’s highest-paid star had willingly helped his translator pay off millions in gambling debt pivoted to allegations of “massive theft” in the span of just one day.

      It is important to recognize that this is a rumor. I had to do a double-take after reading this.

    1. Meta’s way of making profits fits in a category called Surveillance Capitalism. Surveillance capitalism began when internet companies started tracking user behavior data to make their sites more personally tailored to users. These companies realized that this data was something that they could profit from, so they began to collect more data than strictly necessary (“behavioral surplus”) and see what more they could predict about users. Companies could then sell this data about users directly, or (more commonly), they could keep their data hidden, but use it to sell targeted advertisements. So, for example, Meta might let an advertiser say they want an ad to only go to people likely to be pregnant. Or they might let advertizes make ads go only to “Jew Haters” (which is ethically very bad, and something Meta allowed).

      Meta’s approach to generate profit using surveillance capitalism raises various critical ethical concerns, as it monetizes behavioral data in ways that can create harmful biases and practices. This paragraph also highlights the relationship between innovative data that is used for personalization and its potential for exploitation and societal harm.

    1. unrepentant recidivist'

      This is an example of an opinion statement. Also possible title of paper.

    2. judged himself blameless.

      This shows that he feels remorse for what he has done

    3. And even now he has no remorse."

      Conflicting evidence because earlier the article said he had remorse so it would be interesting to investigate

    1. “Is it the right thing to expect the school district to have 10,000 itinerant teachers that can be deployed?” Vladeck said. “What we’re looking at in terms of the demand here is not something that I think anybody ever envisioned.”

      Is there even a viable solution? Maybe that could be something to pursue with the project
