Bringing People Back into Public Health Data: Community Feedback on a Set of Visualization Tools - Summary Report
This course-based study is a product of the University of Denver’s Spring 2022 The Social Determination of Health (ANTH 2424) class. The study aimed to understand how well a set of public health visualization tools tells the data stories about people in Colorado, and about important public health problems. For this, a team of almost sixty undergraduate students taking the class, coordinated by three graduate teaching assistants, and directed by the course instructor interviewed a total of fifty-six people from Colorado, qualitatively analyzed those interviews, and wrote reports that draw conclusions and recommendations

Analyzing the returns of the first transaction satisfaction on intention to purchase and willingness to pay: Evidence for new food products
The present study sheds light on the kind of relationships that link first transaction consumer
satisfaction (CS), purchase intention (PI), and willingness to pay (WTP) for new food
products. The article presents a comparative evaluation of linear and nonlinear quadratic and
cubic specifications used to assess the relationships involved. The study uses empirical
evidence from three product-testing field experiments with consumers in different natural
settings such as at-home and out-of-home. Statistical tests with structural equation modeling
reveal that, for new food products, the CS–PI relationship is characterized by a nonlinear
functional form with increasing marginal returns, while the CS–WTP relationship is defined
by a linear functional form with constant marginal returns. The study contributes to the
existing body of knowledge that so far has mainly described the relationship between
cumulative CS and profit chain outcomes in the context of established products (brands). We
discuss the implications for managers responsible for launching new food products and give
hints on allocating resources to the most probable customers

A Study of Limitations and “Failures”: Toward an Ego Psychology of Projective Techniques
Dancing amidst the flames: Imagination and self-organization in a minor key
Drawing from Deleuze and Guattari's (1986) formulation of the concept of a 'minor literature' and Nick Thoburn's extension of this into a 'minor politics' (2003a) this paper examines the relation between the workings of the imagination and forms of self-organization found within anticapitalist organizing of the Industrial Workers of the World and related movements. This paper explores the modulations of the social imaginary found within these particular examples as indicative of a more general process of minor composition. Rather than affirming an already existing and known subjective position (of the people, the workers), it will be argued that rather such campaigns have playfully and strategically redirected and appropriated the social energies found within pop culture to articulate their demands.

Discovery and fine-mapping of height loci via high-density imputation of GWASs in individuals of African ancestry
Although many loci have been associated with height in European ancestry populations, very few have been identified in African ancestry individuals. Furthermore, many of the known loci have yet to be generalized to and fine-mapped within a large-scale African ancestry sample. We performed sex-combined and sex-stratified meta-analyses in up to 52,764 individuals with height and genome-wide genotyping data from the African Ancestry Anthropometry Genetics Consortium (AAAGC). We additionally combined our African ancestry meta-analysis results with published European genome-wide association study (GWAS) data. In the African ancestry analyses, we identified three novel loci (SLC4A3, NCOA2, ECD/FAM149B1) in sex-combined results and two loci (CRB1, KLF6) in women only. In the African plus European sex-combined GWAS, we identified an additional three novel loci (RCCD1, G6PC3, CEP95) which were equally driven by AAAGC and European results. Among 39 genome-wide significant signals at known loci, conditioning index SNPs from European studies identified 20 secondary signals. Two of the 20 new secondary signals and none of the 8 novel loci had minor allele frequencies (MAF) \u3c 5%. Of 802 known European height signals, 643 displayed directionally consistent associations with height, of which 205 were nominally significant (p \u3c 0.05) in the African ancestry sex-combined sample. Furthermore, 148 of 241 loci contained ≤20 variants in the credible sets that jointly account for 99% of the posterior probability of driving the associations. In summary, trans-ethnic meta-analyses revealed novel signals and further improved fine-mapping of putative causal variants in loci shared between African and European ancestry populations
