��Vlog��ý Little Rock Graduate Completes Thesis on Content in German-Language Newspaper During WWI

John Hill — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 16:00:44 +0000

A graduating ��Vlog��ý Little Rock student is thankful to the history department for helping prepare him for a career as an archivist through the extensive research he was required to do for his thesis. Little Rock native Harrison Mitchell earned his bachelor’s degree in news editorial journalism from ��Vlog��ý Little Rock in 2011. Now over a decade later, he graduated with a master’s degree in public history on Dec. 17. Mitchell’s thesis explores written content in , a German-language newspaper based in Little Rock during World War I. The Echo is the only surviving newspaper source about Arkansas’s German community, as well as the only insight into what the German press was printing during the war. Mitchell got his inspiration for the topic from the year he spent as a foreign exchange student in Vienna, Austria, in high school. “That experience really cemented the language for me,” Mitchell said. “Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to do this research at all, since most of it was in German.” Mitchell focused his research on the years between 1914 and 1918, comparing the tone and content before and after the United States entered the war to see how the newspaper handled the growing anti-German sentiment in the country during the shift. Research also came from, “Das Arkansas Echo: A Year in the Life of Germans in the Nineteenth-Century South” by Kathleen Condray, associate professor of German at the University of Arkansas. The book examines the topics covered during its inaugural year, including the newspaper’s crusade against prohibition, advocacy for German schools and language, and stance on immigration. “Overall, I’d say the program prepares you for the field really well, especially when it comes to research,” Mitchell said. “I even had a graduate assistantship for the Center for Arkansas History and Culture downtown to supplement my archival learning and give me hands-on experience.” He organized his information on a database, the idea of which he credits to Dr. Charles Romney, professor of history and graduate coordinator of the public history program. “I collected about 300 articles, so it was a lot to keep track of,” Mitchell said. “The database gave me key searchability, helped me identify common themes, and what was going on. Staying organized is one of the most important parts of a research process.”

��Vlog��ý Little Rock Professor Advises Maryland Lynching Truth and Reconciliation Commission

John Hill — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 14:19:03 +0000

Dr. Eric Wiebelhaus-Brahm, associate professor of political science at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock, has advised a Maryland commission tasked with investigating the history of lynching in the state. The is authorized to research cases of racially motivated lynchings and hold public meetings and regional hearings where a lynching of an African American by a white mob has been documented. The commission has investigated 38 documented cases of lynching in Maryland. “They are trying to uncover more information about each of these lynching cases and then provide venues for people to talk about these episodes, in particular for descendants of the victims and perpetrators to talk about their feelings and reactions and how these crimes have affected their lives,” Wiebelhaus-Brahm said. “The committee is also prompting memorials to occur in the form of informational plaques at the sites of the crimes.” As the commission wraps up its work in 2024, commissioners will submit a final report to the governor and General Assembly with recommendations to move the commission’s work forward. During a Nov. 12 conference in Baltimore, Wiebelhaus-Brahm presented his suggestions on how to maximize the commission’s impact based upon his research on truth and reconciliation efforts in different parts of the world. “Truth commissions, in many ways, are the start of the conversation about the past,” Wiebelhaus-Brahm said. “Truth is often needed before other things can happen to address the past. Truth commissions produce a final report with a history of what was investigated and recommendations about what else should be done about the past and how to prevent these things from happening in the future. Research suggests that the process should be broadly open to the public so members of the affected communities can offer suggestions for recommendations.” Wiebelhaus-Brahm, author of the books “Truth Commissions and Transitional Societies” and “Exploring Truth Commission Recommendations in a Comparative Perspective,” added that truth commissions often recommend the creation of a follow-up body to coordinate and monitor implementation of the commission’s recommendations. “Involved parties can also keep in contact with local and state politicians to ensure that the commission is not the end of the conversation about racial violence in the state and that there are further conversations about how to improve race relations,” he added. No state-initiated truth and reconciliation commissions have taken place in Arkansas, but Wiebelhaus-Brahm said efforts are moving forward to create memorials for lyching victims in the state. “In Maryland, the commission is helping to prompt memorials,” Wiebelhaus-Brahm said. “In Arkansas, the memorial effort has been moving forward. In some counties, there has already been action taken to memorialize places where lynchings have occurred.” These memorial projects include the Pulaski County Community Remembrance Project by the and the .

��Vlog��ý Little Rock Researchers Assist in Identifying Native American Soldiers Who Should Receive Posthumous Honors from World War I

John Hill — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 14:05:11 +0000

Researchers at the ��Vlog��ý Little Rock Sequoyah National Research Center are helping to determine if Native American soldiers who served during World War I should receive posthumous honors. Sequoyah National Research Center employees have partnered with the at Park University, which is the home of the Valor Medals Review Project and Task Force. A team of researchers and historians are performing a systematic investigation due to their racial backgrounds. The task force members are researching African American, Native American, Asian American, Jewish American, and Hispanic American soldiers who served from 1914 to 1921. To qualify, the service member must have received a Distinguished Service Cross/Navy Cross and/or the French Croix de Guerre with Palm and/or been recommended for a Medal of Honor but was downgraded. Nearly 215 service members have qualified for review, including two dozen Native Americans. “The Robb Centre contacted us because the Sequoyah National Research Center has been doing a lot of research on Native Americans in World War I,” said Erin Fehr, an archivist and assistant director of Sequoyah National Research Center. “I have provided them with our entire list of Native Americans who served in World War I to review. Since that time, they have identified 24 American Indian men who served in World War I that qualify for review.” Sequoyah has been preserving the history of Native American soldiers who served in World War I for many years. From 2017 to 2019, the Sequoyah National Research Center employees created a website on American Indians and Alaska Natives in the war for the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission. Researchers sought to identify all of the estimated 12,000 Native Americans who served during World War I. The website, launched in January 2019, contained more than 6,000 names and has since been archived by the Library of Congress. Sequoyah has continued with its quest to identify all the Native American soldiers who served in World War I, which is now housed on a website called the Modern Warriors of World War I. “If researchers at the Robb Centre find a Native American name that is not on our list, they send it to us to confirm membership in a tribe,” Fehr said. “This is exciting because we’ve actually found the names of some previously unidentified soldiers that we have added to our database.”

This flyer shows the Native American soldiers who served during World War I that qualify for the Valor Medals Review.

In 2018, U.S. Rep. French , a former associate professor of history at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock, to present the family of the late Pvt. Leroy Johnston, a victim of the Elaine Massacre, with medals he earned but did not receive during his service in World War I. This collaboration was the inspiration for the World War I Valor Medals Review Act, which was included in the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act and is now law. It ensures that minorities who served in World War I are honored with proper recognition. Sequoyah will continue assisting the Robb Centre’s work with the Valor Medals Review Project through 2025, when the task force comes to an end. If a member of the public would like to submit the name of a Native American soldier who served in World War 1 to Sequoyah’s database, they may contact Fehr at ehfehr@ualr.edu or fill out this form.

ASBTDC Awarded $125,000 FAST Grant to Provide Services for Arkansas’s Entrepreneurs

John Hill — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 14:32:12 +0000

The Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center (ASBTDC) at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock has received a $125,000 grant to assist companies pursuing federal Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) grants and contracts. The U.S Small Business Administration awarded more than $5.4 million in funding to ASBTDC and 43 other recipients across the country through the Federal and State Technology (FAST) Partnership Program. FAST provides small businesses and startups, particularly those in underserved communities, with specialized training, mentoring, and technical assistance for research and development “When we enable equitable access to federal research funding, we empower more of our nation’s entrepreneurs and scientists to translate their cutting-edge ideas into commercial enterprises,” said Isabella Casillas Guzman, head of the U.S. Small Business Administration. “This is why doubling our funding of FAST grants and expanding the network of awardees is so critical to building a stronger and more inclusive innovation economy that invests in all of our communities.” The FAST grant funding will continue to support ASBTDC training, mentoring, and technical assistance for innovation-based companies, particularly those in underserved communities. The center plans several activities to help Arkansas companies pursue and win SBIR/STTR early-stage seed funding, including:

Agency-specific webinars
Virtual SBIR/STTR accelerators, such as the SBIR/STTR Proposal Lab with the Four-State FAST Collaborative and Lab2Launch
STTR proposal development assistance for researchers in the Arkansas NSF EPSCoR Data Analytics that are Robust and Trusted (DART) program

“Arkansans are engaged in exciting scientific research and technological innovation, and the FAST funding helps ASBTDC provide a robust set of services to support commercialization, particularly through America’s Seed Fund, SBIR/STTR,” ASBTDC State Director Laura Fine said. “The federal SBIR and STTR programs are among the most viable options for an Arkansas entrepreneur to advance an innovation toward the commercial market. Since 2018, we have assisted clients with obtaining 54 SBIR/STTR awards worth over $22 million. Over the next year, we will be working to increase the number of SBIR/STTR proposal submissions by and awards to Arkansas companies.” This year’s expansion of the FAST program created 12 additional awards and expanded the program’s footprint to 43 states and one U.S. territory. The expanded reach of the program builds on the success of previous FAST cohorts. With $4 million in funding in fiscal year 2021, FAST helped small businesses to win over $88 million in SBIR and STTR awards, a 22:1 return for every taxpayer dollar spent.

Smithsonian Fellowship Allows ��Vlog��ý Little Rock Professor to Highlight Architecture of Royal Palace of Dahomey

John Hill — Wed, 02 Nov 2022 13:17:38 +0000

A ��Vlog��ý Little Rock professor has received a to conduct research on royal architecture in the former kingdom of Dahomey, now the Republic of Benin, in Africa. Dr. Lynne Larsen, assistant professor of art history, has spent the spring semester in Washington D.C. conducting research for an upcoming book analyzing the architecture of the Royal Palace of Dahomey in Abomey, Benin. “The royal palace is a fascinating site,” Larsen said. “I explore its early history as an ever-changing home for the kings of Dahomey to its transformations during the French colonial and post-colonial periods. The palace has functioned as a place for religious ceremonies, a center for political struggle, and a cultural museum. It now serves as an important symbol of non-European identity for the Republic of Benin.” The book, “Reconstructing Identity through Dahomey’s Royal Architecture,” examines the palace’s relationship to the religious, cultural, and national identity of the pre-colonial Kingdom of Dahomey (c. 1625-1892), colonial Dahomey (1892-1960), and post-colonial Dahomey/Benin (1960-present). Now a , Dahomey’s royal palace was the center of rule for its pre-colonial kings beginning in the 17th century. “It became a colonial administration center and museum under France’s rule, and remains a museum and important cultural site since independence in 1960,” Larsen said. “As an earthen complex, the palace has been in constant flux of deterioration and restoration. This book demonstrates how architecture can function to shape and be shaped by colonial, post-colonial, and religious forces.” Larsen holds a longtime love and fascination for the royal palace. It was the subject of her dissertation, “The Royal Palace of Dahomey: Symbol of a Transforming Nation,” when she earned her Ph.D. in art history from the University of Iowa in 2014. “We’re all very proud of what Dr. Larsen has achieved and are looking forward to the outcomes of her scholarly activities,” said Tom Clifton, chair of the Department of Art and Design. “I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of these groundbreaking fellowships as we move forward.” As part of the fellowship, Larsen conducted research for her book in the archives of several Smithsonian institutions, including the National Museum of African Art, the Anacostia Community Museum, and the Human Studies Film Archives. “I have been exploring the visual documentation of the palace held in the National Museum of African Art’s archives, which offers insights into the palace’s changing form and roles throughout its tumultuous history,” Larsen said. “I’m writing about a mud palace that’s existed for hundreds of years. Over the years, it’s been washed away and rebuilt many times. It’s difficult to know how it looked in certain periods of time, but these archives are helping me piece together that history.” The fellowship also covered travel for a two-week research trip in March to study the royal palace in person in Benin. Larsen’s upcoming book will be published by Routledge Press and is expected to be released in 2023.

��Vlog��ý Little Rock Professor Receives $103K Grant to Use Machine Learning to Improve Data Curation

John Hill — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 13:32:33 +0000

Dr. Ahmed AbuHalimeh, assistant professor of information science at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock, has received a $103,036 grant to develop machine learning models that will improve data curation and data quality. “I am super excited about this opportunity,” AbuHalimeh said. “It will open the door for many others in the near future. I am very excited to receive the grant in the short period of time I have been here since the spring semester. The grant will help me to establish my research and my career.” AbuHalimeh received the two-year grant, “DC/LP: Developing Machine Learning Models to Improve the Effectiveness of Automated Data Curation Processes,” from the Arkansas NSF EPSCoR program, a multi-institutional statewide grant program funded by the National Science Foundation that will provide $24 million over five years to expand research, workforce development, and STEM educational outreach in Arkansas. AbuHalimeh is one of five researchers in the state who received a grant from the Arkansas NSF EPSCoR Track 1 project, , this year. The DART Research Seed Grant Program invites scientists throughout Arkansas to identify emerging or transformative areas of research in alignment with DART scientific focus. Before datasets can be used in many kinds of learning models, they are often manually curated by researchers to assess the content and quality of source data, define data models, and to track and document data processes. The application of machine learning can result in a more automatic way to curate data, resulting in a saving of time and money for researchers. This project will address the lack of automation in data curation, which is a problem for both industry and academic research. “Data curation is a process of acquiring multiple sources of data, improving the quality of the data, and integrating this data into a usable information product,” AbuHalimeh said. “A team of professors and students led by Dr. John Talburt, a PI in the DART grant and a ��Vlog��ý Little Rock professor of information science, has already developed a tool called the Data Washing Machine. In a clothes washing machine, you put dirty clothes in, put in some soap, set a dial, and it will automatically clean them for you. The idea is that you give the Data Washing Machine dirty datasets, and you get clean data out. However, the current Data Washing Machine is a rule-based system. In my project, we will use machine learning techniques to further automate the process of determining the quality of the data, such as for accuracy, consistency, and many other factors.” AbuHalimeh’s long-term goal is to create a machine learning model that can be used to automatically assess data quality, detect and correct errors, and integrate data for data streams and datasets that are used by academic and industry researchers.

Khodakovskaya to Highlight Research During Arkansas Research Alliance Project Scope

Dr. Mariya Khodakovskaya, professor of biology at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock and Arkansas Research Alliance (ARA) fellow, will discuss her pioneering research in crop improvement through the use of carbon-based nanomaterials during the ARA Project Scope at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28. Khodakovskaya’s presentation, “Crops on Mars?,” will focus on her mission to boost plant productivity and enable us to address the increasingly critical global food demand as well as how her research will one day improve stress tolerance in plants developed for the exploration of Mars. Her research has had a significant impact on the enhancement of the tolerance of agricultural plants to environmental stresses using biotechnology and nanotechnology. Environmental stresses, like high or low temperature, water deficit, flood, salinity, and heavy metals, can limit crop productivity and quality. ARA Project Scope, a monthly webinar sponsored by ARA, invites members of the ARA Academy of Scholars and Fellows to share their latest research with the public. The one-hour webinar is free and open to everyone with a curiosity for science and discovery. “ARA Project Scope was created to bring the world closer to Arkansas’s amazing research community,” said Jeremy Harper, ARA communications director. “Dr. Khodakovskaya and her team’s work with organic nanomaterials is shifting the paradigm to how the world protects its food sources.” Khodakovskaya, who is also the director of the Applied Science Graduate Program at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock, was inducted in the Arkansas Research Alliance Academy of Scholars and Fellows in December 2021. She is also the founder of Advanced Plant Technologies, LLC. Since 2008, she has been a principal investigator or co-principal investigator on grants totaling more than $10 million.

��Vlog��ý Little Rock Researcher Studying How to Combat Diseases by Identifying Therapeutic Vulnerabilities

John Hill — Wed, 14 Sep 2022 13:15:18 +0000

A joint ��Vlog��ý Little Rock/��Vlog��ýMS doctoral student has been recognized for his research to create a custom protein database to combat complex diseases like melanoma by identifying therapeutic vulnerabilities. Kanishka Manna, a Ph.D. student in the joint bioinformatics program at ��Vlog��ý Little Rock and ��Vlog��ýMS, presented his research at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology Conference held July 10-14 in Madison, Wisconsin. Manna, who will graduate in 2023, first became interested in bioinformatics after taking a course on the subject while earning his Master of Science in microbiology at University of Calcutta, India. “The course in bioinformatics interested me to further get into this field,” Manna said. “It’s a niche field between statistics, computer science, and biology. You can explore all three fields at once with this program. The current trend in the field of biology is to be a jack of all trades. This interested me much more, as there is a very scarce number of biologists who venture into this field with the knowledge of statistics, computational algorithms and coding, so as to analyze, interpret and visualize the biological data.” As part of his dissertation research, Manna is building a pipeline that will help researchers detect therapeutic vulnerabilities in complex diseases by combining information from multi-omics data. This pipeline will help researchers find specific mutational proteins (mostly isoforms) that are not found in normal reference databases and help them determine how to treat patients with those mutations who may also be resistant to known drug therapies which inhibits the oncogenic effects of those mutated proteins or the pathway associated with it. He is working with his mentor, Dr. Stephanie Byrum, an associate professor at ��Vlog��ýMS and associate member with the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. For this research project, Manna studied therapeutic approaches to treat melanoma that include small molecule drugs that target activating protein mutations, which is beneficial to about 50 percent of patients with the activating BRAFV600 mutation. Those who are resistant to the treatment may develop tumors following the treatment. Identifying which mutations patients have that make them resistant to specific treatments can help doctors come up with a customized therapy plan for each patient. In addition to presenting his research, Manna found the conference an inspiration for his research and future career. “For a budding researcher like me, meeting and listening to some of the best scientific minds in the world at this conference was an excellent opportunity to get inspired, expand new networks, and broaden my scientific ability and knowledge,” he said. “The conference provided enough exposure to develop/exchange ideas and establish collaborations. I believe this experience contributed to my graduate research at and and uplifted my research career.”

Largest NSF Grant Awarded to ��Vlog��ý Little Rock Will Support Ongoing Undergraduate STEM Education Efforts

John Hill — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 13:05:40 +0000

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock has been awarded a nearly $2 million grant from the (NSF) to enhance teaching and learning and to promote student success in undergraduate STEM education. This is the largest grant ��Vlog��ý Little Rock has ever received from the National Science Foundation. The $1,999,986 five-year grant from the NSF will be used to provide support for faculty and students in the Donaghey College of STEM with a specific focus on supporting students from historically underserved groups. The researchers will use the grant, “NSF IUSE Institutional and Community Transformation Level II: Upholding Active Learning Reform in STEM,” to grow the use of evidence-based teaching practices to increase student engagement and retention in undergraduate STEM education. “A strong STEM workforce is critical for our country,” said Dr. Lawrence Whitman, dean of the Donaghey College of STEM. “To build and sustain a strong STEM workforce, we must educate students for next-generation careers. To properly educate these students, we must transform our education. I am beyond pleased to see that this funding will continue the excellent work of our faculty. We are grateful to the National Science Foundation and their support of this transformational project.” The interdisciplinary team led by Dr. Mark Baillie, assistant professor of chemistry, is a collaboration with faculty from the STEM Education Center (Dr. Michael Moore, director of undergraduate research and mentoring), the School of Education (Dr. Lundon Pinneo, assistant professor) and the Office of the Provost (Dr. David Montague, associate vice chancellor for student success). Ronia Kattoum, an advanced instructor of chemistry and Ph.D. student in applied sciences-chemistry, is working as the project’s graduate assistant. “Our main focus is to increase the number of underserved students who successfully complete STEM courses,” Pinneo said. “We want to identify current barriers for faculty and improve support systems so campus-wide we can close the equity gap.” Students from historically underserved populations, first-generation students, and Pell Grant recipients are likely to encounter barriers to their success in their lecture-based STEM courses. Baillie says that traditional teaching methods are often a barrier to students reaching their potential. “People’s journeys through education are very different,” Baillie said. “If you can create a classroom environment that gives everyone the opportunity to engage, then everyone will learn and progress.” To support faculty members as they learn about and adopt more student-centered and inclusive teaching strategies, ��Vlog��ý Little Rock will utilize successful NSF-funded interventions including the expansion of the Mobile Institute on Scientific Teaching (MoSI) and the Learning Assistant Program in the Donaghey College of STEM. Currently, ��Vlog��ý Little Rock is the only higher education institution in Arkansas with these two highly successful programs that focus on faculty and student success. The grant builds upon the previous success of these programs by allowing many more faculty and students within the Donaghey College of STEM to participate in these initiatives.

“��Vlog��ý Little Rock has a rich history in the STEM area, with innovative programming for faculty as well as major initiatives focused on student success,” Montague said. “This funding will certainly help promote the future of STEM education in Arkansas.” MoSI workshops focus on active learning and other evidence-based teaching practices. Research on teaching and learning shows that students are 1 ½ times more likely to pass classes in active learning classrooms than in traditional lectures. Prior to receiving this grant, about 20 percent of ��Vlog��ý Little Rock faculty completed the weeklong workshop on their own time. The grant will reward future faculty to participate in the workshop by providing a $500 stipend for 75 STEM faculty members to complete the workshop over the next five years. Starting in the spring 2023 semester, faculty will be recruited to join the first cohort of participants. The grant also provides a $975 stipend for 605 students to participate in the Learning Assistant Program. The assistants will provide peer learning support for more than 9,000 of their classmates over the five years of the grant. The stipends will allow greater access for many students who previously couldn’t afford to volunteer for this leadership role. By the end of the project, ��Vlog��ý Little Rock plans to support approximately 250 learning assistants per year. Further opportunities will be provided for faculty who have successfully completed the MoSI workshop to improve their teaching skills. The researchers will form Communities of Practice – small groups of up to five faculty members who will meet bi-weekly to offer peer support and build out their expertise. Faculty who participate will each receive stipends of $1,000. The grant will also fund one graduate student and one postdoctoral researcher for five years, as well as a series of speakers that will focus on implementing student-centered practices. ��Vlog��ý Little Rock will also create a Community of Transformation annually for faculty members who have participated in the Communities of Practice. This group of 10 change agents will discuss and plan efforts to enact policy changes focusing on student success and closing the student equity gap. The grant also provides up to $5,000 a year for five years for faculty and administrators in the Donaghey College of STEM to implement ideas that emerge from the Community of Transformation. “We want to emphasize how the departments and programs are encouraging their own teachers,” Moore said. “This is a multi-prong approach by the whole university on how to support a successful culture of teaching. It speaks to the credibility of the support we have across the university and from our partners. This is a win for ��Vlog��ý Little Rock.” Caption: ��Vlog��ý Little Rock professors, from left, Mark Baillie, Ronia Kattoum, Michael Moore, David Montague, and Lundon Pinneo are working on a National Science Foundation project to improve undergraduate education in the Donaghey College of STEM.
