Since these injuries\, which are never repaired\, can have life-long sequelae including prolapse and incontinence\, it seems reasonable to try to prevent them. From a biomechanical perspective\, women with unusually stretch-resistant lower birth canals can expect longer labors and a higher risk for muscle and tissue injury. The goals of this dissertation were to (a) quantify the viscoelastic properties of the lower birth canal during the first stage of labor\, with special attention to the effects of age and body mass index\; (b) identify those at risk for a long second stage of labor\, as well as (c) an elevated risk for levator ani injuries. Following an introductory chapter (Chapter 1)\, we describe the biomechanics of a new device that dilates the lower birth canal (PREP\, Materna Medical\, LLC.\, CA) during the first stage of labor\, and its use in the ongoing multicenter EASE clinical trial (Chapter 2).\n\nNext\, we quantify the normal ranges of lower birth canal resistance to dilation (tension T) in 56 nulliparas during the first stage of labor. We found remarkable variation in birth canal wall tension across all subjects. Specifically\, the tension when reaching 55 mm dilation varied 5.5-fold and was 22% greater in older women and correlated strongly with both relaxation during the 5-minute hold and with the maximum tension (r= 0.80\, r = 0.59 with p<0.001)\, thus a reasonable predictor of resistance to lower canal dilation (Chapter 3). The stiffness of the initial 20 s ramp varied 6.8-fold and was 31% higher in older women.\n\nWe then demonstrated that the effect of the initial 20 s ramp-and-5 minute hold of PREP insertion on the viscoelastic properties of the lower birth canal can reliably be characterized using a fractional viscoelastic Zener model (FZM). In 61 nullipara\, the relative error for the 20 s ramp-and-5 minute hold using the FZM was 8.1 ± 3.6% and provided a relative prediction error in 60 minutes of dilation of 10.0 ± 5.4%. The FZM constant kβ\, an analog for the shorter timer constant\, was 33% higher in older women (Chapter 4). We then used the fractional Zener viscoelastic constants obtained in Chapter 4 to predict the duration of the second stage of labor and risk for levator ani injury. As labor outcomes are presently unavailable for the PREP subjects due to the ongoing nature of the EASE trial\, the model was tested on data from an earlier constant force PILOT dilator study involving 22 healthy women with available labor outcomes. Our prediction model identified both instances of LA injury and predicted 22% of the variation in the second stage of labor duration (Chapter 5). We conclude that the viscoelastic properties of the lower birth canal in the first stage of labor are responsible for nearly a quarter of the variation in second stage duration. When combined with existing obstetric variables\, the PREP dilator may prove helpful in the improved management of vaginal delivery.\n\nZoom Link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99452208073 Meeting ID: 994 5220 8073 Passcode: 0000\n\nCommittee Chair(s): Dr. James Ashton-Miller UID:102845-21805233@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/102845 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,Michigan Engineering,Medicine,engineering,bme LOCATION:GG Brown Laboratory - 2540 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20230126T123122 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20230111T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20230111T110000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:ServiceNow Workshop: Portfolio Glow Up DESCRIPTION:Our Engagement at ServiceNow workshops are free\, virtual\, career development workrshops aimed to help those looking to jumpstart their careers in the tech industry.

Remaining puzzles such as dark matter confirm the need for beyond the Standard Model physics\, and the Higgs boson can be used as a compass to determine its nature. This talk focuses on novel searches for new physics with the ATLAS experiment on the LHC\, specifically for long-lived particles and heavy resonances. Such signatures make use of the Higgs\, along with advanced data analysis techniques such as machine learning and anomaly detection\, for broad and unprecedented sensitivity. The High Luminosity LHC\, the corresponding ATLAS detector upgrade\, and studies for future experiments are all crucial for the longevity of these searches. These topics are discussed in the context of cross-field collaboration and long-term strategic planning for the continued success of the field\, ensuring that no stone is left unturned in the effort to understand fundamental particle physics.

In creating Flint Is Family In Three Acts\, I see the role of photographs as empowering and enacting visible change: in Act I\, the photographs bear witness and reclaim history\; in Act II\, the photographs reveal a hidden narrative\; in Act III\, the photographs are a catalyst for obtaining resources.”\n—LaToya Ruby Frazier \nFlint Is Family In Three Acts is a multi-part exhibition by renowned artist LaToya Ruby Frazier. For five years\, Frazier researched and collaborated with two poets\, activists\, mothers and residents of Flint\, Michigan\, Shea Cobb and Amber Hasan\, as they endured one of the most devastating ecological crises in U.S. history. Resulting in a monumental oeuvre of photographs\, video\, and texts Frazier developed Flint Is Family In Three Acts (2016-2021) to advocate for access to clean and safe drinking water for all regardless of race\, religion and economic status. The series records stories of surviving and thriving\, especially within racialized and marginalized neighborhoods in Flint\, to ensure that they remained visible in national debates concerning environmental justice. Drawing inspiration from the urgency in Frazier’s work\, which also sheds light on building equitable and inclusive futures\, Stamps Gallery\, part of the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan\, initiated a partnership with the Flint Institute of Arts and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University to bring this important exhibition together for the first time in Michigan. As co-presenters of this landmark exhibition\, our goal is to offer a creative pedagogical platform that reaches broader audiences across Michigan and beyond - Flint is Family: Act I (2016-2017) will take place at the Flint Institute of Arts\, Act II (2017-2019) at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum\, and Act III (2019) at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition served as a catalyst to bring three disparate institutions together to deepen our understanding of individual and institutional agency in advocating for equity\, transparency and environmental justice in our respective communities\, while also highlighting the role of the artist as an agent for enacting positive social change.\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\, Tracee Glab\, and Steven L.

Water is a life force\, without it humanity will cease to exist. Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth. The human body is made up of over 60% water and humanity cannot survive without it. Water is a vital life source that holds (and generates) power. It is nourishing\, quenching\, and refreshing but has also been commodified\, polluted\, and politicized. From the Standing Rock\, Leech Lake and Fond du Lac reservations\, to the straits of Mackinac where oil pipelines threaten important waterways\, to the polluted Mississippi River and drying Colorado River Basin\, to water shutoffs in Detroit\, PFAs in Ann Arbor\, and the Flint Water crisis (to name just a few)\, ensuring access to clean water (and the sustainable ecologies it supports) is an ongoing struggle that requires intersectional\, intergenerational\, and collective knowledge sharing\, discussion and action to protect. \nCall for Work\nStamps Gallery invites the undergraduate and graduate students of Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design to participate in a poster and video exhibition that responds to the prompt: The care\, sustainability\, and access to free and clean water is arguably one of the most urgent and challenging issues of our time “What can you do to spread awareness of water issues and conservation measures?”\nEligible students: submit your work using our online form by Friday\, August 19\, 2022 →\nEligibility\nMust be a currently enrolled undergraduate or graduate major in the Penny W. Stamps School of Art &\; Design.Eligible students may submit one work (poster or video).Time-based work must be submitted as a YouTube/Vimeo link.Timeline\nThe deadline for submitting work is Friday\, August 19\, 2022\, 5pm\, EST. A selection committee composed of students\, faculty\, and Stamps Gallery staff will review submitted work in the weeks following the deadline.Students whose works are selected will be notified by September 2\, 2022. The exhibition will take place from September 15\, 2022 - January 14\, 2023.Why posters &\; videos? \nPosters can function as catalysts for change. For generations\, posters have served as an effective tool to circulate ideas and messages to the public. Visually striking\, and designed to draw attention from passersby\, posters can be conversation starters\, invite people to pause\, reflect\, spread the word\, get involved. They have been a powerful medium for many conceptual artists and graphic designers to create powerful images and messages that could respond to immediate issues and be distributed widely. Similarly\, video art was another exciting immediate medium for conceptual artists in the 1960s and 1970s as the technology became more accessible to the masses. Video art provided an alternative to the dominant broadcasting corporations. Artists made experimental films\, recorded performances\, and first-person narratives that were then exhibited and screened at galleries\, museums\, and events. Posters and videos continue to be salient features in the 21st Century to respond to urgent issues and questions facing the present moment. \nContext\nStamps Gallery is an incubator and lab for contemporary artists and designers to explore ideas and projects that catalyze positive social change. As the pandemic grips our nation it has exposed the social\, political\, and economic disparities that have disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color. The world witnessed in horror and sadness the meaningless loss of African American lives with George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Ahmaud Arbery\, among many others that we will never know. National and international outcries brought people together from multiple races\, genders\, and generations - on social media and in the streets - to publicly demand an end to police brutality\, structural racism\, and emphasizing that Black Lives Matter. What is the role of a university gallery in this time of crisis? How can we foster an inclusive platform for the students in our community to voice their ideas and foster a community based on equality\, belonging\, respect? We launched Respond/ Resist/ Rethink in the fall 2020 to kick off the fall semester with student work paired with the work of leading artists exhibiting at the Gallery.
