?肯特州立大学社区的各位成员们，9,279，这是我最近一直在思考的数字。9279，它定义了肯特州立和肯特人必会相互照顾的文化。如果这是测验节目，而其中一题的答案是9,279。那么该问题将是，“肯特州立大学在短短叁个工作日内转移到远程学习平台的面对面课程有多少？”&补尘辫;苍产蝉辫;&补尘辫;苍产蝉辫;想一想。学校历史以来从未发生过的事情。从未进行远程教学的教授在叁个工作日内就开始上课并投入运营，而其他机构则花了整整两个星期或更长时间来完成教学。然而，切换到远程学习是否完美？虽然不是。每个人都满意吗？并非如此。所有学生都喜欢远程学习课程吗？或许不行。但是我们可以说的是：我们的学术事务负责人，教职负责人，教职员工以及滨罢和远程教育专家都竭尽全力，以便我们可以在世界上从未见过，百年一遇的疫情中继续我们的学期。这样，计划于五月毕业的学生可以毕业，各个级别的学生都有机会获得学位。而教授，专业人士，实际上我们所有人都在努力实现这一目标。&补尘辫;苍产蝉辫;当然，还有更多工作要做。像其他州最近所做的那样，我们将寻求立法上的缓解，以减少本州对执照的临床要求，从而使我们即将毕业的护士和专职医疗专业的毕业生可以在最需要的时候开始工作。我们的艺术学院通过在很少远程授课的课程中使用社交媒体平台的方式来继续提高他们的教学水平。当我们听到学生无法访问互联网时，我们会忙于向他们提供远程热点，以保障教学工作继续进行。对于奉献和有效工作的...
肯特州立大学心理学教授约翰·冈斯塔德（John Gunstad）博士已从美国国立卫生研究院（National Institutes of Health）获得近260万美元的资助，用于将扩大他所领导的阿尔茨海默氏病研究至全国范围。 语言识别与阿尔茨海默症 冈斯塔德教授正在研究如何将老年人的语音特征变化用作阿尔茨海默氏症的早期检测的方法。阿尔茨海默氏症是进行性神经系统疾病，是老年痴呆症的主要原因。在出现症状之前，阿尔茨海默氏症会引起大脑变化。 从去年开始，此项研究就获得了由肯特州立大学的大脑健康研究所与克利夫兰大脑健康研究所的合作提供的40,000美元的赠款，以用于60人的初步研究。 冈斯塔德教授进行研究的想法源于IBM现有的工作，它使用新技术研究精神病或精神分裂症患者的言语模式变化，以确定谁在未来住院的风险最高。 冈斯塔德教授与IBM研究人员联系，以查看他是否可以使用公司的技术来收集和检查老年人的语音，从而根据他们的语音模式变化来确定谁最容易患痴呆症。这促进与IBM研究员Rachel Ostrand博士进行了初步研究，冈斯塔德教授表示，他对扩大该技术的使用充满热情。 “这样的语言变化包括患者在找不到合适的单词时遇到想出单词的麻烦或用模糊的术语或代词代替”，例如，冈斯塔德教授说，“患者可能开始将诸如椅子之类的物品称为‘事物’，而不是使用确切的名词。” 该技...

Kent State implements changes to recycling policy Becca Sagaris General assignment reporter February 16, 2020 Kent Wired Kent State implemented changes to its recycling policy for the Kent campus this February. “The biggest change is in plastics, of what can be recycled and what cannot,” said Leah Graham, the outreach recycling coordinator. “Plastic bottles and jugs should be recycled, and all plastic other than bottles and jugs should go into the landfill.” Anything with a neck or an opening that is smaller than the body falls under the category of bottles and jugs. The only add...
