These deficits have been associated with differences in neural activation in emotion processing regions such as the amygdala and regulatory medial (mPFC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices (dlPFC). This study assessed neural mechanisms associated with emotion regulation and appraisal in veterans following treatment for PTSD symptoms. Thirty six veterans with PTSD were assigned to evidence-based treatments and completed a series of emotion regulation and appraisal tasks while undergoing fMRI scanning prior to and following treatment. The Emotion Regulation Task (ERT) assessed neural activation during passive viewing\, maintenance of emotional response\, and reappraisal of emotional response to distressing images. PTSD symptom ratings were also taken for participants prior to and following treatment. ERT results for activation during “maintain” trials subtracted from activation during “reappraise” trials revealed that individuals with PTSD (M = 0.24\, SD = 0.43) showed greater dmPFC activation than trauma-exposed combat controls (CC\; M= 0.04\, SD = 0.38\; t(51.89)= 2.01\, p = .05). In concert\, symptom improvement over time was inversely related (F(3\, 36) = 3.66\, p = .02\, R2 = .17) to activation in the dmPFC (t(39)= -2.84\, p < .01)\, bilateral amygdala (t(39) = -2.38\, p = .02)\, and dlPFC (t(39) = -2.26\, p = .03). Present findings suggest that those who demonstrate greater reduction of symptoms over time with treatment may exhibit less pretreatment activation in the amygdala and prefrontal regions of interest during cognitive reappraisal compared to maintenance of emotion. . This is one of the first studies to examine neural activation across different treatments for PTSD and provides greater insight into emotion regulation and processing in PTSD.

His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

While the estimation bias in an under-fitted model is well understood\, we address a lesser known bias that arises from an over-fitted model. We show that the over-fitting bias can be reduced or eliminated through data splitting\, and more importantly\, smoothing over random data splits or bootstrap-induced splits can be pursued to mitigate the efficiency loss. We also discuss some of the existing methods for debiased inference and provide insights into their intrinsic bias-variance trade-off\, which leads to an improvement in bias controls. Based on these insights\, we thoroughly study the connections between our current framework and average treatment effects estimation under the Neyman-Rubin causal model. A careful analysis shows that the post-selection bias issue can exist in a wider range of treatment effect estimation procedures. Under appropriate conditions\, we show that our proposed estimators for the treatment effects are asymptotically normal and their variances can be well estimated. We discuss the pros and cons of various methods both theoretically and empirically\, and show that the proposed methods are valuable options in post-selection inference.

These relationships are not isolated from each other: the network pattern of an existing relationship is likely to affect the formation of a new relationship. This paper provides a framework to analyze the multiplex of networks. We present a model in which each pair of agents may form more than one relationship. Each relationship/link is captured by an infinitely repeated prisoner’s dilemma\, with endogenous stake of cooperation. We show that multiplexity\, i.e. having more than one relationship on a link\, boosters incentives as different relationships serve as social collateral for each other. We then endogenize the network formation and ask: when an agent has a new link to add\, will she multiplex with a current neighbor\, or link with a stranger? We find the following: (1) There is a strong tendency to multiplex\, and “multiplexity trap” can occur. That is\, agents may keep adding relationships with current neighbor(s)\, even if it is more compatible to cooperate with a stranger. (2) Individuals tend to multiplex when the current network (a) has a low degree dispersion (i.e.\, all individuals have similar numbers of friends)\, or (b) is positively assortative (homophily in degree). We also provide empirical evidence that is consistent with our theoretical findings.

Current work focuses on integration across these networks\, and with other circuits\, challenging an overly simplistic “hot” system as a sole source of problematic risk behavior\, and a “cold” system as the sole source of self-regulated behavior. “Ramping up” approaches take note of robust\, convergent population findings evincing the similarity of key patterns: DMM (and its corollary of enhanced neuroplasticity up to about age 25 years)\; self-reported risk behavior (such as sensation seeking)\; and population level trends (such as the waxing and waning of behavioral misadventure\, and the age-crime curve). The social and policy implications for adolescents of these developmental trajectories are profound: the excess mortality and morbidity resulting from health risk behavior/behavioral misadventure\; justice system sanctions for juveniles\, prominently in the Miller and Montgomery Supreme Court decisions regarding juvenile life without parole (JLWOP)\; early life and concurrent stress and adversity as they “get under the skin\,” impacting a wide array of developmental health outcomes\, including stress dysregulation\, achievement\, and mental and physical health. This talk focuses on the tension between convergent “ramping up” evidence and the drive for precision in neurodevelopmental models through “drilling down” – population science meets neuroscience – and how interpretations of that tension speak to choices in policy and prevention.

Both plants and animals have developed vascular systems of striking complexity to solve the problem of nutrient delivery\, waste removal\, and information exchange. Vascular networks are intimately linked to the fitness of organisms. Despite their importance\, the principles that govern the structure\, topology\, function\, development and evolution of biological flow networks are not well understood.\n\nIn this talk we present how a biological transport network can utilise principles of self organization to develop and function. We first discuss how a hierarchically organized vascular system can develop under constant or variable flow and show how time-dependent flow can stabilize anastomoses and lead to a topology dominated by cycles. Next\, inspired by haemodynamic fluctuations in the brain\, we examine how networks can produce self-sustained oscillations in the flow even in the absence of varying external input. We discuss how these spontaneously emerging\, self-organized fluctuations depend on the network topology\, and how they can be modified by a controlled external input. \n UID:60565-14910379@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60565 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190409T063014 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Resume Lab DESCRIPTION:Just getting started building a resume?

Experimental efforts are ongoing to confirm that it is the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model of elementary particle physics and to probe signs for new physics beyond the Standard Model. More importantly\, physicists wish to build new powerful particle colliders to fully study this unusual particle\, in order to probe the nature\, and to attempt to discover new physics. The colloquium will present initiatives for new\, large-scale accelerators that include the International Linear Collider (ILC) in Japan\, the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) in Europe\, the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) in China\, and Future Circular Collider (FCC) in Europe\, all designed to study the Higgs boson in detail or to go beyond in energy the current LHC for particle physics in the energy frontier.\n UID:61834-15215048@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61834 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190325T181538 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T173000 SUMMARY:Other:If you are going to make a fuel from sunlight\, water\, and air\, what should it be? DESCRIPTION: Electrocatalysts for the reduction of CO2 are of interest in the production of solar fuels\, and as a means of mitigating atmospheric CO2. The question of which solar fuels should be made from CO2 is an important one. Unlike water splitting (H2O ? H2 + ½ O2) where a single reduced product (H2) is obtained\, the reduction of CO2 can produce a variety of different chemical reduction products\, CO\, HCOOH\, H2CO\, CH3OH\, CH4\, to name a few\, as well as C2 and higher products. Which product(s) will be produced from solar energy\, and then be used as building blocks to manufacture higher fuels and specialty chemicals is not presently known. Indeed\, the question of whether CO2 should be reduced electrochemically to an organic molecule\, or instead\, hydrogen produced by water splitting\, should be used to hydrogenate CO2 to organic products is not clearly understood at this time. There are very few known catalysts for the efficient hydrogenation of CO2\, so whether electrochemical reduction or hydrogenation of CO2 is ultimately practiced on an industrial scale\, the development of new catalysts will be required to enable new technology. Results from several recent approaches to producing higher value solar fuels from CO2 including synthetic biology and tandem catalysis are presently under investigation. Several recent accomplishments in the activation and electrochemical reduction of CO2 have been achieved. These include the use of earth-abundant metals including manganese\, in place of rhenium and ruthenium\, and the use of artificial co-factors to promote catalysis. Other recent approaches to developing catalysts for the reduction of CO2 include the deployment of proton relays in associated ligands to manage proton transport\, introduction of new systems in which proton coupled electron transfer for efficient H-atom transfers can be effected\, supramolecular catalyst assemblies that use non-covalent interactions to direct catalyst centers toward substrate activation\, and artificial metalloprotein electrocatalysts. The general properties of molecular catalysts on conducting substrates under bias as probed by surface spectroscopies pose challenges to researchers attempting to do catalysis at an electrified interface. Surface spectroscopies can provide detailed information about the electronic structure and environmental effects of catalysts operating within the diffusion layer of an electrode under bias.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nCliff Kubiak (University of California San Diego) UID:52155-12488633@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52155 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chemistry 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190405T122406 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190325T180000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ISR Hackerspace with CPS faculty Yuki Shiraito DESCRIPTION:Dr. Shiraito is excited to host a weekly Monday evening hackerspace from January 21 until April 22.

Judicial Abolitionism in Nineteenth- Century Spanish America: Afro-Uruguayan Soldiers and Spanish Diarist José María Márquez DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines how judicial litigation about the freedom of formerly enslaved black soldiers in late 1820s Montevideo shaped the first arguments about the abolition of slavery in the newly created country of Uruguay. Spanish diarist José María Márquez\, who occupied the position of “Public Attorney for the Poor and Slaves” in Montevideo\, published in his newspaper stories about the black soldiers he defended. This news became the first public arena to discuss the complete abolition of slavery. The actions of former slaves then black soldiers and their negotiations to secure freedom provided strong arguments and nationalist bases for conceiving a plan for full abolition. Through the lens of these actions and the communication between the courts and the public arena\, here we examine judicial actions as one of the sources of abolitionism in the newly formed Spanish American republics\, instead of Anglo-centric and North Atlantic models of abolitionist societies and newspapers. \n \nAlex Borucki is associate professor of history in the University of California\, Irvine\, where he also is director of the Latin American Studies Center. He is the author of From Shipmates to Soldiers: Emerging Black Identities in the Río de la Plata (University of New Mexico Press\, 2015)\, which was finalist of the 2016 Harriet Tubman Book Prize. Apart from Spanish-language books and articles published in Argentina and Uruguay\, he has published articles on the slave trade and the African diaspora in the American Historical Review\, Hispanic American Historical Review\, Colonial Latin American Review\, The Americas\, History in Africa\, Itinerario\, Atlantic Studies\, and Slavery and Abolition. \n \nThis event is generously co-sponsored by the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures and the Department of History at the University of Michigan. \n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

My lecture will explore her political life shaped by her international travel throughout Africa and the Americas\, and how she formulated a transnational understanding of black culture\, gendered anti-black racism\, and the movement for black liberation. I will explore Gonzalez’s idea of “Amerifricanidade” that expresses a common black identity in the Americas that centers African heritage and that challenges the erasure of blackness and indigeneity in the construction of Latin Americanness. Gonzalez is traveling\, writing\, and carrying out her political activism at the same time as Abdias Nascimento and Molefi Asante\, for example\, but she has received little attention in the scholarship on the global black radical and feminist traditions. The political life and work of Gonzalez reminds scholars of the African diaspora precisely why black Brazilian women should be given more intellectual attention in black radical thought and why Africana Studies requires a refocus on Brazilian scholars and social movements.

Scarring after the Great Recession DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nI investigate medium- and long-term impacts of the Great Recession on post-recession college graduates. Most “scarring” models emphasize effects of initial conditions that attenuate over the first decade of a worker’s career. But early career recessions may also have permanent effects. I decompose the recent cohorts’ experience into transitory time effects\, medium-term scarring\, and permanent cohort effects. Cohort effects are strongly cyclical. Medium-term scarring explains only half of this cyclicality. The long-run cumulative effect of the recession on graduates’ employment is more than twice as large as the immediate effect.

Did State intervention take place in terms of semi-authoritarian control or as a form of strategic support? Historians of Italian cinema have often debated about these questions and usually favored an interpretation of national film industry as a weak\, politically-controlled system. The goal of this talk is to shed light on the role of the State in every phase of post-war film production\, form training to funding\, from the supply of production facilities to the management of film theaters. Case studies and archival materials will be presented in order to have a broader look on the entire value chain\, taking account not only films and related quantitative data (box office\, admissions\, budget)\, but also the social and professional relations between the various players in the system.

Government officials recently stated the need as “critically important” (MDHHS\, 2017). Costs to individuals and to society are very high. For example\, children with anxiety disorders are found to have poorer academic achievement\, more interpersonal and social problems\, and substance abuse relative to those without anxiety disorders. Further they are 3-5 times more likely to have doctor’s visits and 6 times more likely to be hospitalized than children without such anxiety. Research shows that childhood depression is a risk factor for trouble in school\, social withdrawal\, sleep problems\, aggression\, and feeling hopeless. Children with depression are at high risk for suicide in adolescence. It is important to note that many more children are prodromal – that is\, they may have some signs of adjustment problems but have not yet reached the threshold of receiving a diagnosis – or are simply undiagnosed. Yet research studies show that children’s mental health problems are amenable to treatment. Clearly\, more affordable and available services are necessary to meet this need\, for without help\, there is no doubt that the optimal development of children with such problems will be diminished. Further\, we know that all children - even those without adjustment problems - can benefit from programs that enhance their coping skills\, boost their self-esteem and empower them to be better at identifying and solving problems. This presentation describes a program designed to enhance the well-being of all school-aged children\, whether they have symptoms of adjustment problem or not. There is incontrovertible evidence from research studies that children who are more able to manage their emotions and to use proven strategies to reduce stress and solve problems\, have healthier lives\, greater academic success\, better mental health\, and more satisfying social relationships. This presentation shows how the Kids’ Empowerment Program (KEP) is built on best practices that are derived from research studies and from the results of the successful Kids’ Club Program for children exposed to violence. \n\nSandra Graham-Bermann\, Ph.D.\, is Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Michigan. As director of the Child Violence and Trauma Lab she studies resilient coping\, and the behavioral and emotional adjustment of women and children\, as well as interventions designed to assist them. Over 30 years she has developed measures of children’s fears and worries\, traumatic stress\, attitudes and beliefs about violence\, family stereotyping\, and conflict in sibling relationships. In addition to longitudinal studies of Head Start preschool children she has designed and evaluated interventions for women and children exposed to violence using randomized control trials. These interventions have been adapted for use with Spanish speaking women and children\, Alaska Native and Alaskan Indian women and children\, and Swedish families who experience intimate partner violence. With great support for their effectiveness in advancing well-being and reducing psychopathology\, the programs are now used in 38 states and four countries. A fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA)\, she serves on 4 journal editorial boards and is author of 125 peer-reviewed publications and 3 edited volumes. Dr. Graham-Bermann received the APA Florence Halpern Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Clinical Psychology\, the APA Nicholas Hobbs Award for outstanding research contributions\, as well as an honorary doctorate from the School of Law\, Psychology and Social Work\, at Örebro University in Sweden. Her current research is focused on enhancing the well-being of all school-aged children.
