There has been a growing interest in research articles focused on Discussions. However, only a few studies have centered on the role of arguments. What is missing in this literature is the potential for rhetoricians to identify specific, sentence-level arguments. The idea is that to analyze persuasion in Discussions, rhetoricians should be able to identify arguments contributing to persuasion. Toward that aim, I refer to Aristotle’s Rhetoric as a catalyst for specific arguments and examples from thirty science research articles.

T2 - RHETORIC SOCIETY QUARTERLY AB - On 13 July 2016, President Barack Obama delivered a speech memorializing five police officers slain during a peaceful protest in downtown Dallas, Texas. Obama’s speech came on the heels of many other mass shootings, some associated with acts of racialized violence, during his administration. We argue that by deploying aporia, Obama addressed the conflicting constraints and exigencies exposed by the Dallas shooting and opened inventional possibilities that included virtuous behavior, commemorative speech, and dialogic-reciprocal encounters that also reappraised the concept of double consciousness. We conclude by exploring how aporia enables and undercuts discussions of complex social problems during epideictic encounters.

AU - Cummings, Christopher L. AU - Ho, Shirley S. T2 - SCIENTIFIC REPORTS AB - Abstract Solar geoengineering is a controversial climate policy measure that could lower global temperature by increasing the amount of light reflected by the Earth. As scientists and policymakers increasingly consider this idea, an understanding of the level and drivers of public support for its research and potential deployment will be key. This study focuses on the role of climate change information in public support for research and deployment of stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) in Singapore ( n = 503) and the United States ( n = 505). Findings were consistent with the idea that exposure to information underlies support for research and deployment. That finding was stronger in the United States, where climate change is a more contentious issue, than in Singapore. Cost concern was negatively related to support for funding and perceived risk was negatively related to support for deployment. Perceived government efficacy was a more positive predictor of support for funding in Singapore than in the United States. Additionally, relatively low support for local deployment was consistent with a NIMBY mindset. This was the first study to quantify the role of climate change information in SAI policy support, which has practical implications for using the media and interpersonal channels to communicate about SAI policy measures.

AU - Kruse, Otto AU - Anson, Chris M. AB - Abstract The relationship between writing and thinking explicitly or implicitly runs through all the contributions to this book. There is no writing without thinking and there is no new writing technology that does not alter the way thinking in writing happens. Many layers of the relationship between thinking and writing await conceptualization. Four of them that seem most widely affected by the currently unfolding transformational processes are described in more detail in this chapter: (1) the connection of inscription and linearization to thinking; (2) the relation of sub-actions of the writing processes to thinking; (3) the influence of digital technology on connected thought, networked thinking, and collaborative writing; and (4) the challenges of higher-order support for writing, including automatic text generation for the conceptualization of the writing-thinking interplay. We close with a short statement on the necessity to adopt human-machine models to conceptualize thinking in writing.

AU - Kruse, Otto AB - Abstract Software for plagiarism detection was developed in the early 2000s when powerful search engines offered writers opportunities for unattributed copy-and-pasting from other sources. Many algorithms were developed to reveal overlaps between original and source text. Although the software was imperfect, its use has spread across higher education, precipitating intense debates about its application to the teaching of writing. Because of instructors’ fear of false accusation and the effects on students’ anxiety, many educators have eschewed plagiarism detection systems. Others, however, have adopted plagiarism detection for formative and developmental reasons, such as helping students to understand intertextuality and making referencing a manageable skill. This chapter will briefly historicize the effects of the internet on the practice of plagiarism; describe the technology behind digital programs for plagiarism detection and its functional specifications; summarize some of the research on plagiarism detection programs; describe a few of the more popular programs; and conclude with implications.

To map out the latest landscape in ITPC, we systematically reviewed 43 articles on “intercultural/cross-cultural communication” in three technical and professional communication journals. Notably, collaborative writing and research have been seen as common practices in the past five years. Researchers attach importance to users’ needs and user awareness in user-centered studies. Qualitative methodology and mixed methods are mostly employed in IPTC studies. We make suggestions for future IPTC research that may enhance collaboration across countries or write for international audiences when facing and solving global issues.

AU - Cummings, Christopher L. AU - Loschin, Nicholas AU - Keisler, Jeffrey M. AU - Wells, Emily M. AU - Linkov, Igor T2 - FRONTIERS IN BIOENGINEERING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY AB - In the last 20 years, the field of biotechnology has made significant progress and attracted substantial investments, leading to different paths of technological modernization among nations. As a result, there is now an international divide in the commercial and intellectual capabilities of biotechnology, and the implications of this divergence are not well understood. This raises important questions about why global actors are motivated to participate in biotechnology modernization, the challenges they face in achieving their goals, and the possible future direction of global biotechnology development. Using the framework of prospect theory, this paper explores the role of risk culture as a fundamental factor contributing to this divergence. It aims to assess the risks and benefits associated with the early adoption of biotechnology and the regulatory frameworks that shape the development and acceptance of biotechnological innovations. By doing so, it provides valuable insights into the future of biotechnology development and its potential impact on the global landscape.

AU - Menegatti, Stefano T2 - BIOTECHNOLOGY JOURNAL AB - Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have acquired a central role in modern medicine as delivery agents for gene therapies targeting rare diseases. While new AAVs with improved tissue targeting, potency, and safety are being introduced, their biomanufacturing technology is lagging. In particular, the AAV purification pipeline hinges on protein ligands for the affinity-based capture step. While featuring excellent AAV binding capacity and selectivity, these ligands require strong acid (pH <3) elution conditions, which can compromise the product's activity and stability. Additionally, their high cost and limited lifetime has a significant impact on the price tag of AAV-based therapies. Seeking to introduce a more robust and affordable affinity technology, this study introduces a cohort of peptide ligands that (i) mimic the biorecognition activity of the AAV receptor (AAVR) and anti-AAV antibody A20, (ii) enable product elution under near-physiological conditions (pH 6.0), and (iii) grant extended reusability by withstanding multiple regenerations. A20-mimetic CYIHFSGYTNYNPSLKSC and AAVR-mimetic CVIDGSQSTDDDKIC demonstrated excellent capture of serotypes belonging to distinct clones/clades - namely, AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV6, AAV8, and AAV9. This corroborates the in silico models documenting their ability to target regions of the viral capsid that are conserved across all serotypes. CVIDGSQSTDDDKIC-Toyopearl resin features binding capacity (≈1014 vp mL-1 ) and product yields (≈60%-80%) on par with commercial adsorbents, and purifies AAV2 from HEK293 and Sf9 cell lysates with high recovery (up to 78%), reduction of host cell proteins (up to 700-fold), and high transduction activity (up to 65%).

To rectify this shortcoming, a three-step data visualization methodology was developed to assess COVID-19 vaccination equity in the United States using state health department, U.S. Census, and CDC data. Part one establishes an equitable pathway deviation index to identify populations with limited vaccination. Part two measures perceived access and public intentions to vaccinate over time. Part three synthesizes these data with the social vulnerability index to identify areas and communities at particular risk. Results demonstrate significant equity differences at a census-tract level, and across demographic and socioeconomic population characteristics. Results were used by various federal agencies to improve coordinated pandemic risk response and implement a commitment to equity as defined by the Executive Order regarding COVID-19 vaccination and booster policy. This methodology can be utilized in other fields where addressing the difficulties of promoting health equity in public policy is essential.

AU - Menegatti, Stefano T2 - BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOENGINEERING AB - Abstract Adeno‐associated viruses (AAVs) are the vector of choice for delivering gene therapies that can cure inherited and acquired diseases. Clinical research on various AAV serotypes significantly increased in recent years alongside regulatory approvals of AAV‐based therapies. The current AAV purification platform hinges on the capture step, for which several affinity resins are commercially available. These adsorbents rely on protein ligands—typically camelid antibodies—that provide high binding capacity and selectivity, but suffer from low biochemical stability and high cost, and impose harsh elution conditions (pH < 3) that can harm the transduction activity of recovered AAVs. Addressing these challenges, this study introduces peptide ligands that selectively capture AAVs and release them under mild conditions (pH = 6.0). The peptide sequences were identified by screening a focused library and modeled in silico against AAV serotypes 2 and 9 (AAV2 and AAV9) to select candidate ligands that target homologous sites at the interface of the VP1‐VP2 and VP2‐VP3 virion proteins with mild binding strength ( K D ~ 10 −5 –10 − 6 M). Selected peptides were conjugated to Toyopearl resin and evaluated via binding studies against AAV2 and AAV9, demonstrating the ability to target both serotypes with values of dynamic binding capacity (DBC 10% > 10 13 vp/mL of resin) and product yields (~50%–80%) on par with commercial adsorbents. The peptide‐based adsorbents were finally utilized to purify AAV2 from a HEK 293 cell lysate, affording high recovery (50%–80%), 80‐ to 400‐fold reduction of host cell proteins (HCPs), and high transduction activity (up to 80%) of the purified viruses.

AU - Loschin, Nick AU - Kuzma, Jennifer T2 - PLANTS PEOPLE PLANET AB - Societal Impact Statement A diverse portfolio of genetically engineered food crops, as well as animal livestock and fish, are currently being developed and commercialized. To ensure their contributions to long‐term sustainability, a broad range of environmental, health, ethical, and societal parameters should be used in their evaluations. This paper proposes a set of parameters to evaluate the sustainability of genetically engineered food and agriculture products and discusses mechanisms to improve their governance and oversight. With such holistic evaluations, genetic engineering applications that are deemed beneficial to sustainable agriculture could be identified in an effort to foster sustainability. Summary To achieve international sustainable development goals, food and agricultural production need to rely on sustainable and resilient practices. Traditional breeding as well as the use of new agricultural technologies, including genetic engineering and gene editing, have the potential to help achieve sustainable agrifood production. Although numerous oversight mechanisms exist to guarantee the secure and sustainable advancement and utilization of genetically engineered agrifoods, the majority of these mechanisms heavily depend on a narrow set of parameters to assess risks and safety concerning human health and nontarget organisms. However, a more comprehensive range of parameters should be considered to promote environmental and social sustainability in a more holistic manner. This Opinion article argues that to achieve a more sustainable agrifood production that relies on genetic engineering, governance systems related to new agrifood biotechnologies should incorporate a broader array of environmental, health, ethical, and societal factors to ensure their sustainability in the long‐term. To facilitate this process, we propose a set of parameters to help evaluate the sustainability of agrifoods that rely on genetic engineering. We then discuss major challenges and opportunities for formalizing sustainability parameters in US governance policy and decision‐making systems. Overall, this work contributes to further developing a more comprehensive assessment framework that aims to minimize potential risks and maximize potential benefits of agrifood biotechnology while also fostering sustainability.

To this end, a convenience sample of 25 LGB adults (N = 25) was interviewed about the factors that have shaped their perceptions and approaches to sexual consent. Data was analyzed using a constant comparative approach wherein data was collected and analyzed simultaneously. Participants identified interpersonal resources, such as past partners, friends, and family, as influential in their views of consent. They also described the lack of inclusive sexual health resources and inadequacies in school-based sexual education as obstacles in the learning process.

Shoaib AU - Autry, Meagan Kittle AU - Rouphail, Nagui M. T2 - IEEE ACCESS AB - Surrogate safety measures (SSMs) are critical tools for evaluating the safety performance of mixed traffic. Crashes are rare events, and historical crash data is scarce for mixed traffic that includes autonomous and/ or connected vehicles. Recent safety review papers focus on traditional human-driven vehicles (TVs) and do not encompass advanced technology vehicles such as Autonomous Vehicles (AVs), Connected Vehicles (CVs), and Connected-Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs). This study examines the development, implementation, and shortcomings of SSMs, and SSM-based models used for mixed traffic safety evaluation. It reviews the current relevant literature and applies a case study analysis using a real-world mixed traffic dataset. The study summarizes the fundamental SSM guiding concepts, as well as their most significant metrics including threshold values employed in the past for SSMs and SSM-based models. Primary benefits and limitations of examined SSMs and SSM-based models are also underlined. This review reveals significant gaps in the literature that might guide future research paths in SSM-based mixed traffic safety assessment. Critical gaps include the absence of robust SSM threshold selection criteria, the suitability of current SSMs in mixed traffic research, microsimulation modeling that lacks proper calibration and validation, and the absence of a framework for selecting or combining multiple SSMs. DA - 2023/// PY - 2023/// DO - 10.1109/ACCESS.2023.3248628 VL - 11 SP - 32682–32696 SN - ["2169-3536"] UR - https://doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2023.3248628 KW - Mixed traffic KW - surrogate safety measures KW - real-world mixed traffic dataset KW - autonomous vehicles KW - connected vehicles KW - connected-autonomous vehicles ER - TY - JOUR TI - Futures in mobile communication research: Introduction to the special issue AU - Campbell, Scott W.

AU - Xiong-Gum, M.N. T2 - Mobile Media & Communication AB - The COVID-19 pandemic may soon be coming to its end, but COVID-19 still kills thousands of people every single day (at time of writing). Even if COVID-19 now represents less of a health risk, and less disruption to our personal lives, we know this won’t be the last pandemic. Preparing for the next pandemic includes understanding the past and planning for the future. It includes rethinking “normal” ways of interacting with others, our technologies, and the spaces in which we live. In this introduction, we show how the pandemic has challenged the role of mobile communication in our everyday lives, making us rethink the very meaning of mobile communication—from simply communicating while on the move, to a networked resource that supports emotional and personal connections. During the pandemic, mobile communication practices and the development of new mobile technologies, such as contact-tracing apps and mobile mapping, was strongly tied to the infrastructural politics that took place through government and private companies’ interventions. In addition, mobile technologies became a primary source of support for those who became immobile, or were forced to move. However, mobile communication is not only enabled by end devices; it happens at the intersection of both end devices and the infrastructures that enable them to work. The articles in this special issue reflect some of these themes, and address how the pandemic has shaped and rearranged our mobile communication, sociability, and networked urban mobility practices around the world. Although each article engages with the challenges of the pandemic in its unique and original way, in this introduction we highlight some overlapping topics and methodologies that run across multiple articles, namely historical perspectives on the pandemic, urban and transnational networked mobilities, the use of mobile apps and interfaces for community and self-care, pandemic context in the Global South, and networks and infrastructures.

AU - Peters, David J. AU - Cummings, Christopher L. T2 - RURAL SOCIOLOGY AB - Abstract New gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR‐Cas9, have created the potential for rapid development of new gene‐edited food (GEF) products. Unlike genetically modified organism foods, there is limited research and literature on U.S. public opinions about GEFs. We address this knowledge gap by examining how crop‐based GEF adoption is linked to public trust in institutions and values using the Theory of Planned Behavior. We employ ordinal regression models to predict adoption intentions (direct benefits, acceptability, willingness to eat, and labeling) using a unique and nationally representative survey of n = 2,000 adults in the United States. We find that adoption hinges on public trust in institutions overseeing GEF development, especially trust in university scientists. The 29 percent of Americans likely to adopt GEFs highly trust government food regulators and the biotech industry. A nearly equal number of likely non‐adopters distrust current regulatory systems in favor of consumer and environmental advocacy groups. However, most Americans (41 percent) are uncertain about GEF adoption and whom to trust. Although 75 percent of Americans want GEFs labeled, few trust government agencies who have authority to issue labels. Our findings suggest public trust in GEFs and labels can only be obtained by tripartite oversight by universities, advocacy groups, and government food regulators.

This article argues that the model of the Trinity employed by Dante also has structural meaning for Troilus, but that theending of Troilus clearly signals a worldview that departs from that found in the Commedia. It further demonstrates that the structure of the poem is divided into thirds, even as it is divided in half, and even as it is a cohesive whole, a feature that has important implications for interpretative cruxes surrounding the poem.

Based on the theory of praxis, this study extended Walton et al.'s (2019) social justice heuristic of the ‘4Rs,’ which mainly focuses on actions of praxis, to include an additional ‘R’ to represent Reflection. A content analysis study was performed to explore how activists strategically employed the ‘5Rs’ social justice practices within tweets shared during the #StopAsianHate movement. This study further examined the chronological trends of the five social justice practices evident in the hashtag narratives. The results indicate that the public should pay more attention to the actions spurred by the hashtag movement while also reflecting on how its effects can be optimized to promote social justice.

While many developments promise revolutionary benefits, some of them pose uncertain or largely untested risks and may spur debate, consternation, and outrage from individuals and groups who may be affected by their development and use. In this paper we show that the success of any advanced genetic development and usage requires that the creators establish technical soundness, ensure safety and security, and transparently represent the product's ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI). We further identify how failures to address ELSI can manifest as significant roadblocks to product acceptance and adoption and advocate for use of the "safety-by-design" governance philosophy. This approach requires addressing risk and ELSI needs early and often in the technology development process to support innovation while providing security and safety for workers, the public, and the broader environment. This paper identifies and evaluates major ELSI challenges and perspectives to suggest a methodology for implementing safety-by-design in a manner consistent with local institutions and politics. We anticipate the need for safety-by-design approach to grow and permeate biotechnology governance structures as the field expands in scientific and technological complexity, increases in public attention and prominence, and further impacts human health and the environment.
