This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland.

The writing portion is completed on paper and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed on Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: a. Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the language requirement.b. Students who are not able to write in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) do not need to take the placement test and they will be advised to enroll in Arabic 101.\nWhere can I view my results?a. Placement results are posted within 7 business days after the test.b. You will not be notified of your score automatically. c. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * Students who took or are currently enrolled in an Arabic course are not eligible to take the Arabic placement test. They should register for the next course level.* The test assesses students’ proficiency in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.  * If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement. * Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 504\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.\nUM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). \nIf you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu.

Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

Paloma attended art college in Mexico\, where she came face to face with printmaking during her first year at the Facultad de Artes Plásticas (College of Arts) in Xalapa\, Veracruz. She became fascinated with the possibilities that printmaking offers\, as well as its importance in popular resistance throughout history. In 1997\, she transferred to the Rochester Institute of Technology with an International Student Scholarship.\n-- \n\nAmongst the subjects that interest her are human migration\, social in-visibility\, and the intrinsic relation of humans to the universe as well as our dislocated relationship to it. She currently explores the vicissitudes of minorities and their stories in order to create a better understanding of their issues. By offering portraits of minorities and their stories\, Nunez-Regueiro’s goal is to create supportive communities for those who need to feel rooted in their geographical space and their present time. \n\nNúñez-Regueiro work is closely related to her experiences of living abroad — the impermanence\, the precarious construction of one's present and even less of one’s future. It is about the rootlessness of those of us who move from place to place. She is an incessantly positive artist and she profoundly believes in art as a tool to create the social change that can lead us to thoughtful actions\, and the bettering of ourselves and our communities.

However\, the current standard of control for many of these devices does not provide sufficiently rich control signals to match the number of movements these hands can perform. Implanted neural interfaces offer a promising approach to obtain control signals with substantially higher spatial and temporal resolution than noninvasive technologies. These interfaces have the potential to improve control of multiple degrees of freedom in the fingers and hand\, and to incorporate additional degrees of freedom such as the wrist. This dissertation investigates how implanted neural interfaces can be used to improve control of multiple degrees of freedom in the hand and wrist.\n\nFirst\, we examine an augmentation to an intracortical brain–machine interface decoder designed to reduce errors during control of multiple finger groups. Two non-human primates were implanted with intracortical microelectrode arrays in the hand-knob area of primary motor cortex and trained to control a virtual hand using intracortical neural signals. Neural activity from the arrays was associated with finger kinematics to create a decoder controlling the index and middle-ring-small finger groups. Movement errors were classified using the same intracortical data and incorporated into a subsequent closed-loop control session to detect and correct errors in real time. Incorporating error correction resulted in a significantly lower orbiting time around targets\, with an average reduction of 26%. This reduction represents an important improvement in control and may provide even greater benefit in human users\, where control errors occur more frequently.\n\nNext\, we investigate a peripheral nervous system interface technology rather than intracortical signals. Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interfaces (RPNIs) provide a rich source of peripheral nerve control signals for individuals with limb loss by amplifying efferent nerve activity for muscles lost with the limb. Two participants with upper limb loss between the elbow and wrist received RPNIs and implanted electrodes in both the RPNIs and residually innervated muscles. Classifiers were trained to decode implanted neural signals into discrete finger and wrist movements\, and performance was compared to classifiers trained using surface electrodes. Implanted electrodes provided an average improvement in classification accuracy of over 38% during arm movement. This improvement translated to a reduction in task completion time of over 27% in one participant during an activity of daily living performed using the implanted classifier compared to the surface-based classifier.\n\nFinally\, we evaluated continuous control of the hand and wrist in the same two participants. Participants controlled a virtual hand using a reduced set of hand and wrist rotation targets. Implanted electrodes provided high-correlation control signals for both hand and wrist and outperformed surface electrodes in closed-loop control. In one participant\, implanted and surface decoders were trained and tested in both sitting and arm-out-front postures. Surface decoders tested in a posture different from training exhibited an increase in trial time compared to implanted decoders in a different posture\, along with a reduction in success rate between surface and implanted decoders.\n\nTogether\, these results demonstrate that implanted neural interfaces enable more precise and accurate control of finger and wrist movements. Future work will focus on further improving control through advanced machine learning methods\, improved training data labeling\, and translation to fully implantable systems suitable for use outside the laboratory.\n\nIn-person and on Zoom (Passcode: 680207) UID:143210-21892426@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143210 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Engineering,Graduate,Michigan Robotics,Robotics LOCATION:North Campus Research Complex Building 10 - 001S010 Research Auditorium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251212T152840 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260107T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260107T130000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:IOE Community Event DESCRIPTION:Join fellow members of the IOE community for some delicious treats in the Community Suite!

How were they built? What were they used for? Are there unknown internal substructures\, perhaps hidden chambers that have yet to be discovered? Using the detector technology we developed for a particle physics experiment at Fermilab\, we intend to perform non-invasive searches for hidden structures at the Great Pyramid of Khufu\, in Egypt\, and at the Temple of Kukulkán at Chichén Itzá. The apparatus will detect cosmic-ray muons produced high in the atmosphere that course through the pyramids to produce a tomographic image of their interiors. I will describe in detail the technique we are using\, present simulation results\, detector prototype results\, and the status of both experiments.

As a result\, the classical Bellman optimality principle no longer applies. To address this\, we adopt a two-layer game-theoretic framework and seek sub-game--perfect Nash equilibria both at the intra-personal level\, which accounts for time inconsistency\, and at the inter-personal level\, which captures strategic interactions among players. We first characterise sub-game--perfect Nash equilibria and the corresponding value processes of all players through a system of coupled backward stochastic differential equations. We then analyse the mean-field counterpart and its sub-game--perfect mean-field equilibria\, described by a system of McKean-Vlasov backward stochastic differential equations. Building on this representation\, we finally prove the convergence of sub-game--perfect Nash equilibria and their corresponding value processes in the N-player game to their mean-field counterparts. This is joint work with Dylan Possamaï.

In their small city home\, a family is about to spend their Sunday together\, but the walls are shaking\, strong winds and torrential rain rage outside\, and the storm has only just begun. Amidst this climatic chaos\, the protagonists absurdly attempt to maintain a normal family life.\n\nMeanwhile\, somewhere else on the planet\, three traveling wildlife reporters are doing their best to document the apocalypse. With what little equipment they have\, they film three wild animals on the brink of extinction.\n\nBetween dreamlike fiction and stark reality\, Dimanche paints a witty and tender portrait of humanity surprised by the uncontrollable forces of nature\, observing the absurdity of keeping up appearances amidst an ecological collapse. “Meticulous scenes and beautiful theatrical effects create a surreal\, dreamlike world with an eye for detail. Dimanche is a dystopian parable about the climate\, yet a joy to behold.” (De Standaard\, Belgium) UID:137155-21879819@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137155 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Advocacy,Comedy,Interdisciplinary,performance,theater,UMS,university musical society LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260109T181534 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260109T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260105T130000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Women's Swimming & Diving vs Indiana DESCRIPTION:Women's Swimming & Diving vs Indiana UID:143195-21892410@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143195 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260110T181535 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260110T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260105T130000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Men's Basketball vs Wisconsin DESCRIPTION:Men's Basketball vs Wisconsin UID:143196-21892411@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143196 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Men's Basketball LOCATION:Crisler Arena CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260120T121537 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260124T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260106T190000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Men's Lacrosse vs Robert Morris (ex) DESCRIPTION:Men's Lacrosse vs Robert Morris (ex) UID:143339-21892928@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143339 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics LOCATION:U-M Lacrosse Stadium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260127T121540 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260131T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260106T190000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Men's Lacrosse vs Mercyhurst DESCRIPTION:Men's Lacrosse vs Mercyhurst UID:143340-21892929@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143340 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics LOCATION:U-M Lacrosse Stadium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260208T181519 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260208T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260101T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Women's Basketball vs UCLA DESCRIPTION:Women's Basketball vs UCLA UID:143134-21892191@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143134 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Women's Basketball LOCATION:Crisler Arena CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260106T121550 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260210T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260104T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Men's Lacrosse vs Detroit Mercy DESCRIPTION:Men's Lacrosse vs Detroit Mercy UID:143155-21892329@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/143155 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics LOCATION:U-M Lacrosse Stadium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260108T093753 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260306T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Judy Collins DESCRIPTION:A folk music icon\n\nJudy Collins has long inspired audiences with sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 55-album body of work\, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century.\n\nThe award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell's “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album\, Wildflowers\, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Recently\, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright\, Shawn Colvin\, Dolly Parton\, Joan Baez\, and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins.\n\nThe cultural treasure’s 55th album\, Spellbound\, was released in February 2022\, finds Judy enjoying an artistic renaissance. The 13 song album is a special entry in her oeuvre. It marks the first time ever she wrote all the songs on one of her albums. It features 12 new recently-written modern folk songs\, and a bonus track of her evergreen\, “The Blizzard.” Spellbound is an introspective and impressionistic album. It unfolds as if Judy curated a museum exhibit of her life\, and welcomed us into a retrospective of her most formative moments\, some big and public\, and some intensely personal and intimate. Spellbound was nominated in the Best Folk Album category at the 65th Recording Academy Grammy Awards in 2023.

Although highly influenced by their Canadian roots\, Lisa and Amy are based out of nowhere and everywhere. Their two strong voices blend to create haunting harmonies\, while they artfully juggle fiddle\, banjo\, guitar and mandolin\, and incorporate traditional dance and foot percussion into their performance. Their original -and often dark- compositions push the boundaries of tradition and the constraints of genre. Drawing from old-time\, Quebecois\, blues\, punk\, celtic\, balkan and doom metal\, they create a soundscape that is both familiar and new.

He is a YouTube icon with over 195 million channel views. Legends of rock like Toto\, Boston\, Sarah McLachlan\, Styx\, Rush\, Berlin\, Asia\, and others have expressed love and gratitude for his acoustic renditions of their songs. Toto cites his acoustic cover of “Africa” as their favorite. \n\nMike initially gained notoriety for his performances posted on his widely viewed YouTube channel. The success of that channel allowed him to quit his day job as a public defender after 13 years and move his family to Denver to become a full-time musician who performs around the world.\n\nMike’s acoustic arrangements are praised for their originality\, creativity\, accuracy and simplicity. He is careful to remain true to what is beloved about the original recordings\, while bringing his own masterful musical flair to each rendition.

The three folks on stage with the veteran\, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter were also raising their voices in harmony. To her right sat Brandi Carlile\, to her left\, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Brandy Clark. The formidable foursome was participating in a songwriter’s round only half-jokingly dubbed “Titans of Americana” at Carlile’s female-forward Girls Just Wanna Weekend festival on the Riviera Maya in Mexico.\n\n“That was nuts looking out and seeing everybody arm-waving and singing along\,” says Richey\, still both incredulous and cheered by the memory of performing with that supergroup and later appearing alongside other Girls Just Wanna Weekend-ers Annie Lennox\, Lucius\, Allison Russell\, and Sarah McLachlan among others. “It was just like\, ‘wow’!”\n\nThe good news for fans of this particular Titan is a whole new batch of songs to sing along with and arm wave to with the release of her 10th studio album Every New Beginning. The 10 songs on Every New Beginning represent the full spectrum of the Ohio native’s gifts as both a revered songwriter who can leap from melancholy to mirthful in a single couplet — whose songs have been recorded by the likes of Brooks and Dunn\, Patty Loveless\, and Mary Chapin Carpenter — and owner of one of music’s truly celestial voices. \n\nThat voice\, which Brandi Carlile has cited as formative in crafting her own style\, is a widely sought after harmony instrument and has been featured on scores of albums including Jason Isbell’s acclaimed Southeastern\, Trisha Yearwood’s Everybody Knows\, Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams\, Reba McEntire’s Starting Over\, and Has Been by Capt. Kirk himself\, William Shatner\, among many others.

The act is composed of New Zealander Nick Stone and Coloradan Dani Cichon\, and together the two multi-instrumentalists and songwriters combine ethereal harmonies\, poetic lyricism\, percussive finger-style guitar\, bluesy resonator\, suitcase stomp\, and driving mandolin into a genre-bending sound described by American Songwriter as “impeccable”. South for Winter has received nominations such as Finalist for “Best Group/Duo” in the 2023 International Acoustic Music Awards and Semi-Finalist in the 2023 and 2022 International Songwriting Competition. Their music has been praised by sites such as American Songwriter (\"laden with delicate harmonies\, intricate guitar-work\, and earthy vocals... impeccable sound\")\, No Depression (\"must-see artist\")\, and AmericanaUK (\"an ethereal\, dreamy\, journey...a journey well-worth taking\").
