  • An actor-network-theory informed normative framework for the governance of AI-systems in medicine

    Open AccessMichael Hahn, David Samhammer et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2026

    The impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on clinical decision-making has become a focal point within a multitude of ethical, legal, and social discussions. Examining concrete use cases reveals that the introduction of an AI-system as a new actant in clinical practice changes the whole context with its relationships, roles, and routines. To better understand these changes, an interpretative framework can help to trace such transformations and un…

  • Toward an information-theoretic model of morphological fusion based on an efficient tradeoff of memory and surprisal

    Open AccessNeil Rathi, Michael Hahn et al.ARTICLELanguage2026

    Inflectional morphology refers to the mapping from grammatical information to surface forms, which are typically realized as morphemes . This mapping often exhibits fusion , where several abstract features are expressed in a single morpheme that cannot be decomposed into meaningful parts. Here, we discuss crosslinguistic generalizations of morphological fusion. We argue that fusion reflects principles of efficient processing, as formalized by the…

  • A Christian Synthesis of Aristotle's Character Friendship

    Open AccessMichael HahnARTICLEStudies in Christian Ethics2025

    Friendship is a virtue that holds significant potential as a method of Christian virtue formation. The article begins with Aristotle's concept of character friendship found in the Nicomachean Ethics as an integral part of his overall account of moral goodness. The Aristotelian account serves as a valuable foundation as there are many elements that can be adopted in a Christian approach. Next the article engages the uniquely Christian understandin…

  • Advancing new metrics for wildfire smoke exposure: Case study in Alaska to bridge public health, climate adaptation, and fire management

    Open AccessMichael Hahn, N Athauda et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Wildfire activity is increasing globally due to climate change, with implications for air quality and public health. Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) from wildfire smoke contributes to cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality, adverse birth outcomes, mental health stressors, and disruptions to food security and traditional livelihoods. However, quantifying health risks remains difficult due to sparse monitoring, challenges in isolating wildfire…

  • By-degree Health and Economic Impacts of Lyme Disease, Eastern and Midwestern United States

    Open AccessHaisheng Yang, Caitlin A Gould et al.ARTICLEEcoHealth2024

    Lyme disease (LD) is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States (U.S.). This paper assesses how climate change may influence LD incidence in the eastern and upper Midwestern U.S. and the associated economic burden. We estimated future Ixodes scapularis habitat suitability and LD incidence with a by-degree approach using variables from an ensemble of multiple climate models. We then applied estimates for present-day and projected ha…

  • A blueprint for strengthening climate and health literacy through professional adaptability

    Open AccessMaggie Grabow, Maggie L Grabow et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Responding effectively to intensifying climate change hazards to protect human health in personal and professional settings is an urgent and pressing challenge. This will require collaboration and subject matter expertise of people across the life course and occupations. In this perspective piece, we build on a previously published compilation of climate and health literacy elements to explore tangible opportunities to strengthen climate and heal…

    Open AccessRuby L Fried, Michael Hahn et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2023

    Objective: This study employs a strengths-based approach to assess food access in remote Alaska during the COVID-19 pandemic, identifying both the negative consequences of the pandemic on store-bought and subsistence/traditional food access and compensatory strategies used. Design: As a part of a larger study on the impacts of COVID-19 on daily life remote Alaskan communities, study data presented here were collected through key informant intervi…

  • In the beginning, I said I wouldn't get it.”: Hesitant adoption of the Covid-19 vaccine in remote Alaska between November 2020 and 2021

    Open AccessLaura Eichelberger, Amanda G Hansen et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2023Cited by: 1References: 6

    Achieving sufficient COVID-19 vaccination coverage has been hindered in many areas by vaccine hesitancy. Many studies based on large survey samples have characterized vaccine refusal, but there are fewer in-depth qualitative studies that explore hesitant adoption: the middle-ground between vaccine acceptance and refusal, and how individuals may move across this continuum depending on their lived experience. For this paper, we use the narratives o…

  • Morpheme Ordering Across Languages Reflects Optimization for Processing Efficiency

    Open AccessMichael Hahn, Rebecca Mathew et al.ARTICLEOpen MIND2022

    The ordering of morphemes in a word displays well-documented regularities across languages. Previous work has explained these in terms of notions such as semantic scope, relevance, and productivity. Here, we test a recently formulated processing theory of the ordering of linguistic units, the efficient tradeoff hypothesis (Hahn et al., 2021). The claim of the theory is that morpheme ordering can partly be explained by the optimization of a tradeo…

  • Information Theory as a Bridge Between Language Function and Language Form

    Open AccessRichard Futrell, Michael HahnARTICLEFrontiers in Communication2022

    Formal and functional theories of language seem disparate, because formal theories answer the question of what a language is, while functional theories answer the question of what functions it serves. We argue that information theory provides a bridge between these two approaches, via a principle of minimization of complexity under constraints. Synthesizing recent work, we show how information-theoretic characterizations of functional complexity …

  • Collaborative climate mitigation and adaptation planning with university, community, and municipal partners: A case study in Anchorage, Alaska

    Michael Hahn, Micah B Hahn et al.ARTICLELocal Environment2020

    Cities around the world are creating formal planning documents proposing local actions to mitigate and prepare for the impacts of climate change. Despite a growing number of examples of such plans and “toolkits” that outline the process for undertaking these planning efforts, many cities are still struggling to know where to start. Furthermore, meta-analyses of existing climate action plans show that many suffer from similar limitations including…

  • Sources of Law and Principles of Interpretation

    Mitsuo Matsushita, Thomas J Schoenbaum et al.CHAPTERWorld Trade Organization2015

    This chapter discusses the sources of World Trade Organization (WTO) law, which are the covered agreements that appear in Appendix 1 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing Settlement of Disputes (Dispute Settlement Understanding or DSU). These agreements include provisions of various other international agreements, which should also be regarded as sources of WTO law. However, the covered and incorporated agreements do not exhaust …

  • Bone microarchitecture at muscle attachment sites: The relationship between macroscopic scores of entheses and their cortical and trabecular microstructural design

    Open AccessKsenija Djukić, Petar Milovanović et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2015Cited by: 11References: 51

    The studies of entheses in bioarchaeology attempted to reconstruct the habitual physical activities of past populations. However, the studies of microarchitecture of the underlying bone are still lacking despite well‐known potential of bone internal microarchitecture to reflect mechanical loading. It is unknown whether different morphological expressions of entheseal changes (ECs) correlate with the microstructural characteristics of the underlin…
