"But where is his voice?: " The Debate of Pope Pius XII's Silence During the Holocaust.
Creator
Whitman, Kayleigh, Department of History
Abstract/Description
For the past sixty years the question of whether or not Pope Pius XII did all that he could to help the victims of the Holocaust has plagued the reputation and memory of his papacy. As the Vatican and Pope Francis continue proceedings towards the canonization of Pius, the question of what judgment can be placed against the pope becomes ever more pressing.

Show moreFor the past sixty years the question of whether or not Pope Pius XII did all that he could to help the victims of the Holocaust has plagued the reputation and memory of his papacy. As the Vatican and Pope Francis continue proceedings towards the canonization of Pius, the question of what judgment can be placed against the pope becomes ever more pressing. My project examines the path that the debate has taken over the past six decades through the work of both the critics and defenders of His Holiness. While this thesis does not deliver a verdict against Pius, it does address the important question of how the contemporary reader can understand what has been written and the evolution of the charges that have been placed against him. In this paper Rolf Hochhuth serves as the leading example for the critics and Father Robert Graham S.J. serves as his defense counterpart. Beginning with these two men and their arguments, I examine the charges and responses of both the defenders and the critics during the controversial years of the 1960s and 1990s. Through this study I have found that though the Vatican's records remain sealed limiting the pool of information for researchers, the debate has continued to thrive because of the difference in perception of the two sides. The critics place their emphasis on the moral responsibility of the pope and the defenders focus their arguments on the political responsibility and implications of the pope's actions during this uncertain time.

Show moreMuch of the literature in general education is focused on the design or contents of the program, or the "supply side," while little attention has been given to students' understandings of and attitudes toward general education, the "demand side." This paper reviews literature on the "demand side" of general education by first providing a brief synopsis of the notion of general education and recent recommendations for reform, and next summarizing research on student knowledge of and attitudes toward higher education and general education. Because of the paucity of "demand side" research, the paper shifts focus to processes used in higher education to affect demand side questions, including teaching, recruitment and admissions, orientation, academic and career advising, and course scheduling. The paper ends with conclusions on the importance of attending to "demand side" issues in the improvement of general education programs.

Show moreInspired by the phenomenon of “child witches” in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Léonora Miano’s second novel, Contours du jour qui vient (2006), reveals the psychological and physical violence children accused of witchcraft experience and its detrimental consequences. This article examines the manner in which Musango, the protagonist of the novel, reconstitutes her fragmented sense of self and reestablishes relationships with others after surviving her mother’s violence and her banishment from home. After analyzing the extent of the damages Musango sustained within her own home and community, especially her trauma-induced mutism, I examine how an already fragile Musango witnesses the silencing of women in a human trafficking camp and in a community revivalist church. I show how this silencing engenders a resistance within Musango and sparks a desire to use her voice. Lastly, I study how this resistance is further cemented and refined by the women she meets in the second half of the novel. These women guide Musango in her transformation from a mute traumatized self to a self-assured vocal individual. Furthermore, these women show her the ability of women’s voices to not only transmit knowledge and values but to also change the community for the better. Ultimately, I demonstrate how Musango is able to affirm her self-worth, reconstruct her fragmented sense of self, establish a connection with others and become a guiding voice through her interactions with the women she meets in her journey to recovery.

"Do unto others"? Distinct psychopathy facets predict reduced perception and tolerance of pain.
Creator
Brislin, Sarah J, Buchman-Schmitt, Jennifer M, Joiner, Thomas E, Patrick, Christopher J
Abstract/Description
Recent research has sought to understand how individuals high in psychopathic traits perceive pain in others (Decety, Skelly, & Kiehl, 2013; Marsh et al., 2013). Perception of pain in others is presumed to act as a prosocial signal, and underreactivity to others' pain may contribute to engagement in exploitative-aggressive behaviors among individuals high in psychopathic traits (Jackson, Meltzoff, & Decety, 2005). The current study tested for associations between facets of psychopathy as...
Show moreRecent research has sought to understand how individuals high in psychopathic traits perceive pain in others (Decety, Skelly, & Kiehl, 2013; Marsh et al., 2013). Perception of pain in others is presumed to act as a prosocial signal, and underreactivity to others' pain may contribute to engagement in exploitative-aggressive behaviors among individuals high in psychopathic traits (Jackson, Meltzoff, & Decety, 2005). The current study tested for associations between facets of psychopathy as defined by the triarchic model (Patrick, Fowles, & Krueger, 2009) and decreased sensitivity to pain in 105 undergraduates tested in a laboratory pain assessment. A pressure algometer was used to index pain tolerance, and participants also rated their perceptions of and reactivity to the algometer-induced pain during the assessment and again 3 days later. A unique positive relationship was found between pain tolerance and the meanness facet of psychopathy, which also predicted reduced fear of painful algometer stimulation. Other psychopathy facets (boldness, disinhibition) showed negative relations with fear of pain stimulation during testing and at follow-up. Findings from this study extend the nomological network surrounding callousness (meanness) and suggest that increased pain tolerance may be a mechanism contributing to insensitivity to expressions of discomfort in others.

The "Endless Space Between": Exploring Film's Architectural Spaces, Places, Gender, and Genre.
Creator
Page, Sarah, Department of English
Abstract/Description
Architectural spaces and places within films often work to represent larger themes of the films' stories. This paper explores how films from three different genres, horror, science fiction, and romance, utilize architectural places and space on screen to represent gender. Films explored include Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, Ridley Scott's Alien, and Spike Jonze's Her.

Second, internal displacement can create an unfortunate and heretofore undiscovered feedback loop: wide-scale displacement leads to increases in civil war duration as well as intensity, which thereby leads to increased displacement. This project examines these claims through the use of unique micro-level data on the Colombian Civil War as well as cross-national investigations of internal displacement and civil war duration.

Show moreThough I learned it first, I no longer speak Spanish fluently. Wishing to reconnect myself to my language and my culture—my own interests also piqued by the romantic sound of the language and the sheer brilliance and precision of the Spanish-language poets I had read—I returned to the language through poetry translation in an attempt to morph what had become unfamiliar (Spanish) into the language with which I have become most familiar (English). The purpose of this presentation is to give insight into processes—of writing, rewriting, translating poems from Spanish to English, and learning to confront and accept the unfamiliar. Over the summer, I traveled to Uruguay and Argentina, where I was forced to speak Spanish only, where even my limited Puerto Rican Spanish was foreign to the European-influenced Spanish of South America. Living in Tallahassee before and after my trip, I worked to improve my Spanish and focused my reading on poets from Latin-American countries and on the notable essays and books on translation that are considered paramount in the field. My period of focus is the twentieth century, and while English-language poets were writing about "The Everyday", their Latin-American counterparts, while still, as Emerson says, embracing "the common," often focused on the big issues of Life, Death, Time, and especially Love. My goal is this: I wish to relay the experience of working in two languages instead of one, and to show how the discourse between languages altered my writing and the way I think about language.

Show moreThe traditional approach to building Bayesian networks is to build the graphical structure using a graphical editor and then add probabilities using a separate spreadsheet for each node. This can make it difficult for a design team to get an impression of the total evidence provided by an assessment, especially if the Bayesian network is split into many fragments to make it more manageable. Using the design patterns commonly used to build Bayesian networks for educational assessments, the collection of networks necessary can be specified using two matrixes. An inverse covariance matrix among the proficiency variables (the variables which are the target of interest) specifies the graphical structure and relation strength of the proficiency model. A Q-matrix — an incidence matrix whose rows represent observable outcomes from assessment tasks and whose columns represent proficiency variables — provides the graphical structure of the evidence models (graph fragments linking proficiency variables to observable outcomes). The Q-matrix can be augmented to provide details of relationship strengths and provide a high level overview of the kind of evidence available in the assessment. The representation of the model using matrixes means that the bulk of the specification work can be done using a desktop spreadsheet program and does not require specialized software, facilitating collaboration with external experts. The design idea is illustrated with some examples from prior assessment design projects.

Study 1 used a time-lag method to assess generational effects of maturity fears among a large sample (n = 3,291) of undergraduate men and women assessed in 1982, 1992, 2002, and 2012. Results revealed that both men and women reported significantly higher rates of maturity fears across time. Study 2 replicated these findings, and used a more restricted time frame to more closely examine the rate of change. Undergraduate women (n = 554) were assessed in 2001, 2003, 2009, and 2012. Maturity fears were again found to increase from 2001 to 2012. Recent cohorts of emerging adults seem more reluctant to mature than previous cohorts. Many contributing factors may be at play, including challenging economic times, social pressures to remain youthful, and/or internal fears of assuming increased responsibility.

Show moreMy project revolves around the "closeting of history", which is the phenomenon in which evidence that suggests gay or bisexual behavior is omitted from the narratives of important historical figures, thus allowing them to be imagined as heterosexual by future generations (and depriving young people of gay and bisexual icons). I wanted to create artwork that counters this phenomenon, by placing historical figures and popular characters in situations that complicate their sexuality, removing them from the heterosexual narrative that they have been confined to. I first began to explore this concept with a series of drawings of several American presidents as drag queens, complete with drag names, such as Abraham "Babe" Lincoln. I want these and other art pieces of mine to challenge the idea of "normativity" as applied to sexuality by re-appropriating iconic figures such as presidents, who have been symbols of heterosexual masculinity and success, as tools for showing sexuality as a performance—something that is fluid rather than compartmentalized. I want key works to simultaneously tackle the discomfort associated with excessive femininity, particularly when that femininity is applied to powerful individuals, and to negate the idea of the effeminate as weak. My artwork consists primarily of colorful and playful drawings and paintings, inspired by the camp aesthetic and sense of humor. At the end of the day, I just want to confront people with fun images of gay male sexuality, so that they might question what it is about it that makes them uncomfortable, and whether their discomfort is truly warranted.

Show moreRates of pregnancy and parenthood among current and former foster youth are two to three times higher than non-foster youth peers. Repeat pregnancies among young mothers aging out of foster care also occur at higher rates than peers not involved with the child welfare system. Furthermore, mothers aging out of foster care demonstrate high levels of parenting stress and risk for child maltreatment. Indeed, this population is in significant need of help; however, beyond anecdotal evidence, little is known about the needs and day-to day experiences of this population. In order to tailor interventions to meet the needs of parents aging out, the perspectives of stakeholders must be taken into account. Using qualitative data gathered from separate small group interviews with parents aging out and service providers, this study examined participants' perceptions of parents' daily experiences, strengths, and needs. Findings indicated that parents aging out face overwhelming adversity and stress with little outside financial, emotional, or parenting support from family or friends. Yet, parents also expressed motivation to be good parents, resilience, and the desire to gain effective parenting skills. Although similar themes arose among parent and provider interviews, perceptions differed. Parents expressed hope and optimism in providing for their children while providers expressed systemic failure in preparing parents for independent living. Based on these findings, we conclude that parenting interventions specific to parents aging out may need to address three fundamental and key components: basic needs, social support, and effective parenting techniques.

Show moreIn the fall of 2018, I was fortunate enough to witness a production of It’s True, It’s True, It’s True with my devising class during my semester abroad with the FSU Theatre Academy London. The documentary piece uses the original 400-year-old court transcripts as its primary source to depict the trial of Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi as she accuses her tutor, Agostino Tassi, of rape. Throughout the performance, I found myself consistently (and automatically) making connections between this 1612 sexual assault case and the recognizable contemporary sexual assault cases that had been in surrounding discourse at the time, namely the hearing of supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as accused by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. The show itself reinforced these connections within the viewer by contrasting a Baroque subject matter against distinctly modern production choices. In this staging of juxtaposition, Breach Theatre’s production It’s True, It’s True It’s True uses an individual sexual assault case to create a microcosm that reflects the larger-scale treatment of women throughout history, from 17th century Italy to 21st century London. In the trial, Artemisia presents her paintings as evidence to the court; similarly, It’s True, It’s True It’s True is presented as yet another entry in the anthology of artistic evidence of chronicled violence against women. In contemporary culture, scrutiny of this systematic violence in relation to art has been embodied most notably in the form of the #MeToo movement. Victims of assault within the entertainment industry have stepped forward and shared their testimonies to varying degrees of consequence for both themselves and their perpetrators. On a personal level, my individual history as a student and artist at Florida State has been affected by sexual assault allegations and Title IX proceedings, both within the School of Theatre and on a university-wide scale. The status of artistic depictions of assault throughout history prompts the question: how much has changed for women in contemporary society? Realizing how rape culture has endured, I was challenged to add to this artistic body of evidence by directing my own staging of this show through an American collegiate female lens to address the presence of assault against women in my own university and explore the relationship between memory and cultural violence through performance.

Show moreHistorian, translator, publisher, novelist, and journalist, polemicist and political activist during the French Revolution, Louise de Keralio (1756–1822) challenged prevailing gender roles by her ambitious incursion into areas considered the sole province of men. Yet, in apparent contradiction with her bold actions, authoritative voice and ambitious writing projects, she also reiterated gender stereotypes and made antifeminist remarks, much to the perplexity of recent critics such as Annie Geffroy (“Louise de Kéralio-Robert, pionnière du républicanisme sexiste”). I argue that this contrast between her “masculine” endeavors and authoritative voice, on the one hand, and her espousal of normative femininity, on the other, may best be understood by analyzing the discursive strategies she adopts to express her gender-nonconforming ambitions. From her earliest writings, a fundamental dilemma pits her female body, her “corps petit,” viewed in Rousseauian terms as consigned to modesty and domesticity, against her “âme grande” with its ambitious longing to do something for the benefit of society as a whole, to publish and enact her equally Rousseauian progressive ideas. They reveal that, for Keralio, writing is enabled by the repetition of restrictive gender norms, even as it is undercut by them. Her attempt to substitute for this binary thinking of gender in terms of either/or a utopian logic of both/and ultimately results in the silencing of her female-gendered, yet powerful, male-coded political voice during the evolution. Even so, her ideal of both/and endures.

Abstract/Description
In “‘Ma voix se dégagea’: Music, Risk, and the Heroine’s Voice in George Sand’s Malgrétout,” I argue that Sand’s 1870 novel Malgrétout offers a view of the complexity of Sand’s thinking about sound, whether in a child’s holistic and mythical understanding of nature and music, in an artist-hero’s exhausting performances of genius, or in the erosion of the restraint and pragmatism in the heroine’s musical production.

Show moreIn “‘Ma voix se dégagea’: Music, Risk, and the Heroine’s Voice in George Sand’s Malgrétout,” I argue that Sand’s 1870 novel Malgrétout offers a view of the complexity of Sand’s thinking about sound, whether in a child’s holistic and mythical understanding of nature and music, in an artist-hero’s exhausting performances of genius, or in the erosion of the restraint and pragmatism in the heroine’s musical production. Returning through the novel, as a fulcrum on which the heroine, Sarah, balances her relationship with violin virtuoso, Abel, is the little children’s song Sarah invented, “La Demoiselle.” I propose that “La Demoiselle,” which begins as a musical exercise for a child, becomes for Sarah a means to measure Abel’s commitment to their relationship through his interpretation, arrangement, and dissemination of the little song. At stake in the returns and reiterations of Sarah’s song is a reconceptualization of the Romantic artist story through the heroine’s narrative of the discovery of the sound of her own voice and soul. Moreover, drawing from feminist care ethics, Sand studies, and sound studies, I propose that Sand’s narrative of vibrating instrumental chords, shivering bodies, and trembling voices, which explores the intersubjective and relational nature of sound, articulates a vision and ethics of people as fundamentally and vitally relational beings.

My work examines how a particular short story can be adapted into different film genres for different audiences. The project adapts the short story by Elizabeth Tallent entitled, "No One's A Mystery" into four very different scripts: a "faithful" adaptation, a hand-drawn limited-animation children's narrative, a "loose" adaptation, and a music video treatment. In this text, the reader will find some introductory information on adaptation theory and a brief overview of some scholarly debate; followed by the four scripts and analyses for each short film. The major focus of the analyses are on the adaptation process. They will also include each interpretation's relationship to the short story, theory, and how audience and genre affect the process. Two of the four scripts (the children's narrative and music video adaptations) have been filmed and edited together as well to further understand the adaptive mode.

“Nous aussi nous sommes citoyennes”: Female Activism during the French Revolution.
Creator
Pédron, Anaïs
Abstract/Description
Marie-Madeleine Jodin and Olympe de Gouges were among the women who believed that the new state created by the French Revolution would offer equality to men and women. Both of them published political pamphlets arguing in favor of their sex: Vues législatives pour les femmes by Jodin in 1790 and (among other writings) Déclaration des Droits de la Femme in 1791 by Gouges.

Show moreMarie-Madeleine Jodin and Olympe de Gouges were among the women who believed that the new state created by the French Revolution would offer equality to men and women. Both of them published political pamphlets arguing in favor of their sex: Vues législatives pour les femmes by Jodin in 1790 and (among other writings) Déclaration des Droits de la Femme in 1791 by Gouges. Jodin’s pamphlet shows the extent of her culture: she quotes philosophers, uses examples from history, and offers some remarkable perspectives (on prostitution for instance). Gouges’ pamphlet, the most famous of all, is a clever pastiche of the 1789 Déclaration des Droits de l’Homme, and contains her thoughts on marriage,divorce, and illegitimate children. While neither one of them seems to have been truly active in women’s manifestations and clubs or developed contacts with the Assembly or other proto-feminists, both women participated in the Revolution and its events mainly through these writings. This paper explores Jodin’s and Gouges’ paradoxical participation (loud in print but silent in speech) and compares them to other female writers of the Revolution: was their participation atypical or did it represent the norm?

Show moreOne perspective not often brought to the study of detective fiction is that from the field of information science. Among other topics, information science is concerned with information behavior, or how people behave with respect to information: needing, seeking, accidentally encountering, avoiding, evaluating, storing and so forth. Examining the solving of a mystery as an information behavior has potential for insights into the genre and into our twenty-first century readings of detective fiction. Current audiences are accustomed to modern information technology and the information behaviors afforded by it: amateur sleuths hack computer systems or professional detectives analyze trace evidence for DNA. Highly technologized contemporary information environments leave us to ask: in what ways do the manipulation of information value, and the sophistication of the information behaviors, in novels written by Agatha Christie in the early- to mid-twentieth century, continue to enthrall readers in the twenty-first?

We have all seen the images of hungry children with bloated stomachs, presumably from some African or Asian country. To what extent do these narratives present a grossly simplified version of the struggles people in poverty face? The term “poverty porn” has been coined to describe these kinds of shock-based images which reduce people to their vulnerability and helplessness. Narratives within INGO media campaigns can either contribute to, or combat stereotypical images of developing regions. The first section of this research will discuss representations of people from developing regions. Second, the research will examine strategies employed in several digital-based INGO media campaigns through their use of visual and verbal tools. Third, the research will analyze the ethical nature of media campaigns which contribute to or combat stereotypes. It is important for international non-governmental organizations and those within the field of international development to consider how communication strategies impact the understanding we have of developing regions. This research aims to look critically at INGO communications and provide best practices for organizations constructing their own media campaigns.

Show moreThis article reports on the ways that 77 students in an international studies programme constructed meanings for global citizenship. The focus was on their personal meanings for the topic and how they articulated a global identity with their national civic beliefs. Data was collected from online discussion boards, written essays and 20 interviews. A key finding was that the students' political language for global citizenship, examined here in terms of purpose, membership and relationship with national citizenship, was predominantly a moral commitment framed in universal language. A second finding was that the students understood global citizenship as a heterogeneous and complex affiliation shaped by a range of sources. The implication is that citizenship education emphasizing a narrow notion of patriotism may encourage students to disengage from civic life because it does not represent their lived experiences and identities. Insights for making citizenship education practices more inclusive are discussed., In this study, information about national identity and global citizenship were collected from 77 students enrolled in an international studies program through discussion boards, essays, and interviews. Results regarding global citizenship showed that participants’ language was often framed in moral and universal terms, and that students saw global citizenship as complex and drew from diverse sources to understand what it meant. The article also discussed how citizenship education needs to be broader and more inclusive than the traditional focus on patriotism.

Show moreAbstract: (Key Terms: Collective Framework, Rhetorical Theory, Trafalgar Square, Spatial Narratives) This thesis is a rhetorical examination of language as elicited in spatial narratives. In doing so, it examines the various symbols that public spaces employ in order to rhetorically speak to us, move us, and make us act in certain ways. More specifically, it addresses Trafalgar Square as a problem space, deconstructing the various spatial narratives leading into and within the square. In deconstructing these narratives, it attempts to find implicit meaning in what is explicitly inscribed into the land, and to examine this meaning alongside the social narrative that its occupants hold. This constructed narrative is explored through three frameworks: that of the physical framework of the square, those spatially enacted frameworks leading into it, and the larger collective framework of the city to which the square contributes. It finds that the frameworks of public space generally work toward establishing and authorizing a unifying ideological connection between the present society and societies of the past. However, these narratives are dependent on individual agents participating in the space's various frameworks; the meaning of a space is obfuscated by a society's current participant's usage of the space. In addition to this obfuscation, it discovers that the past role of a space can obfuscate the present meaning and role of the space in the overall framework, and that the present meaning can in turn obfuscate how individuals relate to and interpret the past.

Show moreVaudeville, which was one of the most influential entertainment genres in America at the turn of the century, was also important to the early development of jazz. Vaudeville's role in jazz history has not often figured into discussions of early jazz because the earliest jazz historians were record collectors who relied heavily on sound recordings to establish the history of the music, leading them to marginalize the contributions of musicians or bands that did not make records. Touring vaudeville, minstrel shows, and circuses played a crucial role in jazz's development and dissemination. Many of the influential jazz artists of the teens and twenties, such as Alvin "Zoo" Robertson, Wilbur Sweatman, Freddie Keppard, and Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton began their careers playing in tents and theaters around the country as vaudeville entertainers. Traveling vaudeville shows were the most significant factor in the spread of jazz before the advent of recording, and brought early jazz to appreciative audiences even before 1917, when the first jazz recordings became available. After these initial recordings, the shows carried jazz to remote areas of the country where jazz records were less likely to be available. These shows continued to be important for the careers of jazz musicians until the mid thirties, when the ascendance of film and radio led to vaudeville's terminal decline. In this paper I explore in detail the role that touring vaudeville shows played in the development and popularization of jazz in the first decades of the twentieth century.

My goal in this project was not to expose a new idea, as leisure has been studied extensively, rather my aim is to shrink the gap between studies. I have connected research across different disciplines in order to present a case for the inclusion of leisure in the academic discourse and present its relevance as a genre, rather as idea.

Show moreThe study focuses on the race issues and increased police militarization in Ferguson, Missouri related to the recent murder of Michael Brown. This particular part of the study focuses on the popular trend of the hashtag If They Gunned Me Down. Young activists on Twitter post pictures of themselves, both positive and negative, to highlight the media's opinion of people of color in the news. The tag is meant to show the obvious bias in media portrayal of black victims of police violence through personal images. During the study we studied these images and then complied a sample of 20 images per category (categories being aspects of their personality being highlighted). The tweets show two pictures per post, one negative and one positive, which we group together to find the most common traits presented. From these qualities we are hoping to gain an idea of the way the black community views the medias opinion of their worth. In addition to this information we are also qualitatively coding tweets related to race, black culture and marketing to find celebrities involvement and influence in the issue of police brutality of the black community.

Show moreAge is the only factor used to demarcate the boundary between juvenile and adult justice. However, little research has examined how age guides the juvenile court in determining which youth within the juvenile justice system merit particular dispositions, especially those that reflect the court's emphasis on rehabilitation. Drawing on scholarship on the court's origins, attribution theory, and cognitive heuristics, we hypothesize that the court focuses on youth in the middle of the range of the court's age of jurisdiction—characterized in this article as “true” juveniles—who may be viewed as meriting more specialized intervention. We use data from Florida for court referrals in 2008 (N = 71,388) to examine the decision to proceed formally or informally and, in turn, to examine formally processed youth dispositions (dismissal, diversion, probation, commitment, and transfer) and informally processed youth dispositions (dismissal, diversion, and probation). The analyses provide partial support for the hypothesis. The very young were more likely to be informally processed; however, among the informally processed youth, the youngest, not “true” juveniles, were most likely to be diverted or placed on probation. By contrast, among formally processed youth, “true” juveniles were most likely to receive traditional juvenile court responses, such as diversion or probation.

Show moreSacrificial moral dilemmas, in which opting to kill one person will save multiple others, are definitionally suboptimal: Someone dies either way. Decision-makers, then, may experience regret about their decisions. Past research dissociates affective regret, negative feelings about a decision, from cognitive regret, wishful thoughts about a counterfactual decision. Classic dual-process models of moral judgment suggest that affective processing drives characteristically deontological decisions to reject outcome-maximizing harm, whereas cognitive deliberation drives characteristically utilitarian decisions to endorse outcome-maximizing harm. Consistent with this model, we found that people who made or imagined making sacrificial utilitarian judgments expressed relatively more affective regret and relatively less cognitive regret than those who made or imagined making deontological dilemma judgments. In other words, people who endorsed causing harm to save lives felt more distressed about their decision but were less inclined to change it than people who rejected outcome-maximizing harm.

Show moreDirect removal of (TcO4-)-Tc-99 from the highly acidic solution of used nuclear fuel is highly beneficial for the recovery of uranium and plutonium and more importantly aids in the elimination of Tc-99 discharge into the environment. However, this task represents a huge challenge given the combined extreme conditions of super acidity, high ionic strength, and strong radiation field. Here we overcome this challenge using a cationic polymeric network with significant TcO4- uptake capabilities in four aspects: the fastest sorption kinetics, the highest sorption capacity, the most promising uptake performance from highly acidic solutions, and excellent radiation-resistance and hydrolytic stability among all anion sorbent materials reported. In addition, this material is fully recyclable for multiple sorption/desorption trials, making it extremely attractive for waste partitioning and emergency remediation. The excellent TcO4- uptake capability is elucidated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, solid-state NMR measurement, and density functional theory analysis on anion coordination and bonding.
