The document discusses regulating cannabis as a "temptation good" by learning from other vices like alcohol and proposes a "Goth-Pot" system where cannabis would be produced and sold by a public monopoly trust with limited advertising, retail locations, and product potency to prevent abuse and unwanted habits, similar to Sweden's historical Gothenburg System for regulating alcohol. It also includes poll data showing most Americans see tobacco as more harmful than alcohol, sugar, or marijuana.

Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Cruz
This document summarizes research on cannabis legalization in Uruguay. It discusses four areas of focus: public opinion analysis, impact on frequent consumers, cannabis clubs, and retail distribution. The presentation specifically discusses national surveys showing most Uruguayans initially disagreed with legalization but viewed medical cannabis and state intervention favorably, though many felt use had increased. However, data on use was inconsistent. Implementation of the cannabis law faces challenges of general disapproval, concerns over pharmacy distribution, and needs better communication and prevention strategies.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Sabet
This document discusses alternatives to legalizing marijuana that were presented in a RAND report on Vermont. It notes that most of the options presented in the RAND report were still versions of legalization, and that there are other models that do not involve legalizing marijuana. These include civil citation programs that require drug assessment, community service, and interventions for first-time offenders, diversion programs requiring drug education or treatment, and decriminalization laws requiring drug education or treatment following an offense. The document provides examples of such programs in Florida, New Jersey, Maryland, and Maryland's decriminalization law.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Hall
This document discusses complications that arise when comparing the risks of alcohol and cannabis. While cannabis appears less harmful than alcohol in some ways, its legal status and patterns of use are confounded by prohibition. Additionally, risks may increase with legalization, such as from more potent products, and cannabis use has been correlated with poorer cognitive and social outcomes from sustained daily use. Finally, there are regulatory and health education challenges to legalizing cannabis in a way that minimizes risks of dependence and impairment while developing credible public health advice.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Kagan
This document discusses options for regulating recreational marijuana in California if legalized. It recommends taking a relatively tight initial regulatory approach to create a single market, building in the ability to change regulations over time based on data, and requiring extensive data collection. Key regulatory areas to focus on include cultivation and production licensing, restricting sales to adults, establishing taxes, preventing impaired driving and abuse, and designating an oversight agency. An effective regulatory system would manage the entire supply chain, limit youth access, raise revenue, and monitor public health and safety impacts ongoing.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Peyraube
Uruguay has reformed its drug policy based on a framework of security, public health, and human rights. It prioritizes human rights conventions and national sovereignty over international drug conventions. Uruguay regulates cannabis to reduce the negative impacts of drugs and incarceration for possession. The regulation creates a domestic cannabis industry and allows medical use and research. Adults can access cannabis through self-cultivation, cannabis clubs, or purchasing up to 40 grams per month from pharmacies. Production is licensed and regulated by the government.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - Reuter
1) Canada is taking a sensible approach to legalizing cannabis by planning in advance, articulating specific goals, developing an evaluation process, and coordinating federal and provincial governments.
2) A report from CAMH advocates for a government monopoly over supply to allow for adjustments to product mix as understanding of harms increases, and argues this approach promotes health equity by reducing arrests of minorities and poor people under prohibition.
3) However, the report is criticized for not adequately recognizing potential benefits of cannabis use or considering whether pleasure should count in policymaking, and relying too much on a health model without considering other social harms.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Midgette
This document summarizes a report on marijuana legalization in Vermont. It finds that marijuana use is more prevalent in Vermont than the rest of the US. Currently, Vermont spends $800,000-$1.1 million annually prohibiting marijuana. The report discusses 12 policy alternatives to the status quo and models potential tax revenue from legalization, finding it could be in the tens of millions annually from Vermont users alone. However, regulation costs and uncertainty around impacts on substance use make projections difficult.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Smart
This document outlines a study examining the effects of growth in legal medical marijuana markets on substance use and abuse. It describes collecting new data on registered medical marijuana patients to measure the size of legal markets over time. Variation in state supply regulations and federal enforcement are used to identify how legal market size impacts recreational marijuana use and other health outcomes like traffic accidents and mortality. Results suggest that while medical marijuana laws alone have little effect, growth in the size of the legal market increases adolescent marijuana use but reduces alcohol- and opioid-related deaths among older adults by substituting marijuana for those substances.

1) The document analyzes cannabis policy and markets in Colorado following legalization of recreational cannabis.
2) It finds evidence that the recreational market is cannibalizing the medical market, especially in tourist counties, but is also expanding overall demand.
3) A dual pricing scheme, with lower prices for medical patients and higher prices for recreational users, has successfully achieved price discrimination and appears optimal for balancing economic and social outcomes.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - Orens
This document summarizes outcomes from the legalization of marijuana in Colorado over two years. Key findings include an increase in past month marijuana use prevalence and demand, with casual users accounting for more use. Prices have decreased while concentrate sales have risen. Legalization has had a strong positive economic impact, creating thousands of jobs and over $1 billion in revenue. The regulated market now serves nearly three-quarters of total marijuana demand in Colorado.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - MacCoun
This document summarizes key points from Jon's talk on cannabis legalization. It notes that national legalization following an alcohol model is likely. Long-run cannabis consumption may double. Prices and quantity consumed matter more than the number of consumers. There are many policy levers but it is unclear if they are being used effectively to learn what works. National legalization is not guaranteed and effects in states like Colorado are still uncertain due to many complicating factors. The fundamental tradeoff is that legalization may reduce average harm per dose while increasing total doses consumed, with the net public health effect unknown.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Seiveright
Jamaica has recently passed legislation decriminalizing possession of small amounts of cannabis and legalizing its medical use. This represents progress toward reforming cannabis laws, which were made stricter under British rule and international treaties, despite cannabis having traditional medical and religious uses in Jamaica. The new law allows possession of up to 2 ounces, cultivation of up to 5 plants per household, and imports/exports for medical or scientific purposes. However, regulations are still pending and challenges remain regarding banking restrictions and reactions from other countries.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Wetterau
1. ASAM supports decriminalizing marijuana possession for personal use and treating it as a civil offense linked to contingencies like mandated clinical assessment and treatment.
2. ASAM does not support legalizing marijuana and recommends caution in jurisdictions that have not legalized it yet until more is learned from places that have.
3. The document outlines several recommendations from ASAM for regulating legalized recreational marijuana and expanding access to treatment and prevention services for marijuana use, especially among youth.
Drugs and Crime in Ireland by Johnny Connolly
Johnny Connolly is a criminologist in the Alcohol and Drugs Research Unit of the Health Research Board. He has researched and written on community policing, drugs and crime and alternatives to imprisonment. He is a Board member of the Irish Penal Reform Trust.
Johnny gave a talk outlining current research and policy on the broad areas of crime and drugs. He explained where the statistics in use come from, what they explain and what they may conceal. He also went through recent trends in drug consumption (rise in the Celtic tiger years, subsequent fall and the ‘headshop’ phenomena) and the official response to this. The presentation was followed by questions and answers.
This presentation was part of Dublin City Libraries Crime and the City series.

This document reports on youth tobacco sales rates in Michigan from fiscal year 2012. It shows the percentage of illegal tobacco sales to minors for different coordinating agencies across the state, ranging from 0.0% to 22.0%. It also shows the statewide youth tobacco sales rate has dropped significantly over time, from over 60% in 1994 to just 10.7% in 2012, the lowest rate so far. The annual survey sampling methodology was improved in 2007 to provide more accurate statewide rates.
The Irish War on Drugs by Paul O' Mahony
Paul O'Mahony gave a thought provoking talk outlining the arguments made in his book The Irish War on Drugs. A criminologist and a Senior Lecturer in Psychology in Trinity College Dublin he has written extensively on the issues of drugs, crime, treatment, prison and rehabilitation.
Marijuana Legalization Policy Analysis
This document analyzes the policy of decriminalizing recreational marijuana in the United States. It outlines the goals of decriminalization, which include treating marijuana similarly to alcohol and tobacco to reduce the burden of anti-cannabis laws. It notes over 750,000 marijuana arrests in 2012, costing $7.5-10 billion annually. Advantages include generating $8.7 billion in annual tax revenue and freeing law enforcement resources. Disadvantages include potential health risks and easier youth access. Overall the document argues the benefits of legalization outweigh the costs.
Canberra Drug Law Reform Apgdlr 2006
The document discusses the current status and future prospects of drug law reform. It summarizes that the global drug situation continues to worsen, with more countries, drug quantities, and adverse consequences. There is growing support for harm reduction policies and programs over prohibitionist approaches. However, progress requires pragmatic approaches that are both economically and politically sustainable, through compromise instead of attempting to eradicate drug use entirely. Reform will likely be a slow evolution rather than a rapid revolution.
Crimes involving drugs and alcohol
This document discusses the relationship between drug and alcohol use and criminal offenses. It provides statistics on the percentage of offenders using drugs prior to committing crimes and lists types of drug and alcohol-related criminal offenses like possession and crimes resulting from intoxication. These offenses are categorized as alcohol and drug-defined, alcohol and drug-related, or part of a drug-using lifestyle that can increase chances of illegal activity. The document also includes arrest statistics and case study questions about whether drug use or prohibition leads to more violence.

This document discusses laws enacted as a result of parental advocacy around substance abuse issues. It summarizes Casey's Law, a law passed in Kentucky that allows involuntary substance abuse treatment. It was inspired by the death of Matthew Casey Wethington from a heroin overdose at age 23. The law allows parents, relatives or friends to petition the court to require someone to undergo treatment if they are unable to recognize their need for treatment due to impairment. It outlines the petition process, required evidence, evaluations, hearings, and possible outcomes including court-ordered treatment. The presenters aim to help advocates identify laws in their states, explain their components, and apply successful models elsewhere.
Consequences of Medical Marijuana legalization
The document discusses the consequences of legalizing medical marijuana. It outlines symptoms of marijuana use like rapid heart rate and memory loss. It also discusses potential health risks like cancer and addiction. However, it also reviews marijuana's medical properties in relieving pain, seizures, and other conditions. Studies from countries that have legalized marijuana, like Holland and Portugal, found crime and drug use did not significantly increase and in some cases decreased. The document aims to provide information to help decide whether to legalize medical marijuana.
LEGALIZED MARIJUANA | HB EMERGING COMPLEX CLAIMS
This document summarizes a presentation on the emerging issues related to legalized marijuana. It discusses how marijuana legalization is impacting various areas of law and insurance claims. Legalized marijuana directly impacts professional liability, transportation, employment, premises liability and other areas. While public opinion and usage is increasing, federal law still prohibits marijuana use. States are passing legislation to legalize medical and recreational marijuana use, creating conflicts with federal law. This is generating new types of lawsuits and insurance claims around issues like indemnity agreements and additional insured coverage. Presenters discussed open questions around how these legal and regulatory changes will further impact claims handling and different professions.

Drug testing powerpoint
Megan Kelly argues that some states do not require drug testing to receive welfare benefits but people need drug testing to work. Several states have proposed or passed legislation requiring drug testing for public assistance eligibility. Research shows that around 20% of welfare recipients report recent illicit drug use within the year, and drug and alcohol dependence is more common among women receiving welfare compared to other women. If the goal of welfare is promoting self-sufficiency, lawmakers argue that the first step should be stopping drug use that prevents recipients from entering the job market.

Drugs & crime
The document provides information on several topics related to substance abuse and crime. It summarizes data from a survey of domestic violence calls that found over 48,000 calls in one 24-hour period, with over 14,000 requests for emergency housing and around 5,000 unmet calls. It also notes that 38% of domestic violence victims become homeless at some point. Additionally, it discusses drug enforcement efforts and costs, changes in juvenile drug arrest rates and demographics, relationships between drug use and criminal activity, categories and schedules of drugs, and the influence of alcohol on different types of crimes.
Drug policy
This document discusses how drug policy and prohibition have produced significant harms and failed to achieve their goals. It notes that the illegal drug trade threatens governance, leads to corruption, and has resulted in over 60,000 deaths in the Mexican drug war, more than the US lost in Iraq. The drug trade is worth $320 billion annually yet prohibition has filled prisons and prioritized criminalization over public health. Alternatives like Portugal's decriminalization have had more success improving outcomes. The conclusion is that science shows the war on drugs does not work and alternative approaches should be considered.
Innovating and Advocating for Community Cancer Care
This document summarizes key issues in oncology care policy in the United States. It discusses the changing political environment under the new administration, ongoing payment reform efforts including the Oncology Care Model, issues around rising drug prices and pharmacy benefit managers, and the uncertain future of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act. The consolidation of cancer care and its impact on community oncology practices is also addressed.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - Novak
This document summarizes a study that used latent class analysis to identify patterns of medical cannabis consumption among 50 patients in San Francisco. The analysis identified 4 classes: pure therapy (10%), pure euphoria (10%), mixed motives (55%), and smoked euphoria (25%). Characteristics like gender, medical conditions, and socioeconomic status were associated with class membership. Probability of consumption varied by day of week and payday cycles, with higher use on weekends and paydays. The findings suggest medical cannabis is used more for euphoria than purely medical reasons for most patients.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Rolles
The document outlines 10 steps for designing legal access to cannabis: 1) agree on policy aims and principles; 2) establish a methodology to evaluate policy impacts; 3) establish an independent commission of experts to develop policy details; 4) identify and mitigate key risks learned from regulating alcohol and tobacco; 5) ensure enforcement structures and capacity for any new regulatory framework. The steps also include controlling commercial incentives to increase consumption; initially meeting existing demand through legal supply roughly matching illegal supply; avoiding diversifying cannabis products and prohibiting advertising as much as possible; and balancing market access and appeal.

Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Williams
The document summarizes state medical marijuana programs in the United States. It finds that there is great variation among state programs, with an average score of 1.96 out of 7 on factors reflecting a medical model. Programs enacted more recently through state legislatures in Northeastern and Midwestern states (medicalized programs) tend to be more highly regulated compared to earlier voter initiative programs in Western states (non-medical programs). Medicalized programs have fewer participants, with an average of 58 enrollments per 100,000 residents compared to over 1,000 in non-medical programs. The presentation concludes with a case study of New York's strictly regulated medical marijuana program.

This document discusses GW Pharmaceuticals' investigation of Cannabidiol (CBD) as a potential therapeutic product. GW Pharmaceuticals is developing a purified CBD product called Epidiolex to treat rare and severe forms of childhood epilepsy. Clinical trials showed Epidiolex significantly reduced seizures in patients with Dravet Syndrome. If approved by the FDA, Epidiolex would be the first prescription drug in the United States containing a purified drug substance derived from cannabis. The FDA approval process ensures patient safety and requires rigorous clinical trials, but takes years and is expensive.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - Jacobson
This document discusses the future of medical cannabis. It outlines a spectrum of cannabis use from medical to therapeutic/wellness to recreational. While some conditions like cancer pain, nausea, and epilepsy have seen medical cannabis legalized, mainstream medicine does not recognize it as a legitimate treatment due to a lack of chemical definition and clinical research. More research is needed to establish safe and effective dosing as well as drug interactions before medical cannabis can be fully accepted. The current system also fails patients in terms of accessibility, insurance coverage, and appropriate medical supervision.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Caulkins
This document discusses different aspects of legalizing marijuana, including defining levels of legalization and comparing marijuana legalization to other regulated substances and markets. It also provides statistics on current marijuana use patterns in the US, highlighting that most use is concentrated among relatively heavy users and those with substance abuse problems. The potential public health impacts of legalization are uncertain and will depend on how regulations shape the legal market.

However, some countries were allowed transitional reservations for traditional use. The document questions whether the WHO ever properly reviewed cannabis or recommended its scheduling. It discusses options for reforming the UN drug treaties to allow more flexibility for countries to design their own cannabis policies.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - Blickman
The document summarizes the debate around regulating the cannabis supply system in the Netherlands. It outlines that mayors, judges, and public opinion favor regulation over the current policy of tolerance. The mayors revolt argues that tolerance is bankrupt and increases crime, while judges are increasingly uneasy about contradictions in current policy. The document proposes regulating cultivation and supply to reduce crime and better protect public health.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - Trautmann
The national cannabis policy in the Netherlands has swung like a pendulum since the 1990s, moving between more liberal and restrictive approaches. Originally, a more liberal policy developed in response to social changes and protests in the 1960s, allowing for regulated cannabis sales. However, international criticism and issues like drug tourism led to a more restrictive approach focused on supply reduction and public order from the 2000s onward. Stricter measures unintentionally increased street dealing and organized crime involvement. More recently, support has increased for a less restrictive approach, including some cities exploring regulated cannabis production. Current national policy still prohibits production but condones retail sales through "coffeeshops" under local regulations.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - Flaster
The document summarizes a panel discussion on adulterants in cannabis regulation and testing, with panelists from various cannabis industry organizations. The panel discusses issues around growing practices, ensuring quality and consistency of cannabis products, and the importance of testing for contaminants and validating test methods to verify constituents and ensure consumer safety. Proper growing, accountability through testing, and transparency were emphasized as important to building trust in the cannabis industry.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - Hope
The document discusses issues related to cannabis policy in Mexico. It provides statistics on homicides, drug cases, eradication and seizures of marijuana from 2005-2015. It shows that 50% of homicides with firearms from 2007-2014 occurred in regions known for marijuana production. The document also shows data on the percentage of inmates in state penitentiaries that were incarcerated for drug retail sales (5%), crimes against health (7%) and other crimes (88%). It acknowledges that precisely estimating the effects of changing drug policy is impossible and that displacement effects are unknown. It concludes by thanking the audience and providing contact information for Alejandro Hope who presented the information.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - de Kort
The document summarizes the origins and development of Dutch cannabis policy from the 1970s to the present. Key events included the recommendations of committees in the late 1960s and early 1970s to decriminalize cannabis, the introduction of heroin in 1972 which led to stricter drug laws, and the rise of coffee shops in the 1970s-1980s which established a system of toleration for soft drugs like cannabis. The coffee shop system developed pragmatically rather than through a formal policy and expectations of legalization were not met. Over time coffee shops faced some regulation to address issues like advertising, hard drugs, nuisances, and minors.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - Sterling
The document summarizes Maryland's medical cannabis program, including:
1) The program was created in 2013 and is overseen by the Natalie M. LaPrade Medical Cannabis Commission. The statute and regulations govern growing, processing, dispensing and use of medical cannabis.
2) Strict security and safety measures are in place, including background checks, video surveillance, inventory tracking from "seed to sale", and limits on the number of growers and dispensaries.
3) The program is funded entirely through license fees, not taxpayer money. Licenses have been awarded for growing, processing and dispensing medical cannabis.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 2 - MacCoun
This document summarizes research on the Dutch approach to cannabis policy, known as "de facto legalization". Key points include:
- During the first decade after policy change in 1976, cannabis use prevalence did not increase, but sharply rose in the second decade due to commercialization of coffeeshops.
- The Dutch system maintains high cannabis prices through prohibition on growers/traffickers while allowing sale to users, unlike potential US legalization with aggressive marketing and minimal price controls.
- Experts note the Dutch policy was a product of addressing the heroin threat in the 1970s but the policy window has since closed, with unintended consequences like street dealing and production shifting elsewhere.
Cannabis Science & Police Summit - Day 1 - Zinsmeister
The document discusses public opinion and the UN drug conventions regarding drug policy reforms. It summarizes that legalization is still a minority position at the UN as the majority of member states still favor prohibitionist approaches. Several polls and surveys cited show that public opinion in Europe and Latin America also generally opposes marijuana legalization and favors maintaining prohibition. When asked about decriminalization, reaction is still mixed. The Latin American public sees drugs as both a security and public health issue.
Cannabis Science & Policy Summit - Day 1 - Miller
This document analyzes the legal marijuana market in Washington state using traceability data from the state's seed-to-sale tracking system. Three key findings are: (1) Prices fell substantially over time due to increased supply and competition among producers and processors; (2) While product characteristics changed dramatically, retail quantities were not significantly affected by a tax change, suggesting demand is inelastic; (3) Entry into the market was high initially but has slowed, and supply has increased substantially.

International marketing group 5 class3
Tobacco groups challenge Australia's new law requiring plain packaging of cigarettes. The law aims to reduce branding and discourage smoking by eliminating the attractive effects of packaging. Tobacco groups argue the law will reduce their market share and competitive advantage. One year on, studies show plain packaging smokers find cigarettes lower quality and are less satisfied, increasing motivation to quit. However, tobacco sales have remained stable, with companies adapting to changing regulations. National laws can significantly impact marketing strategies in industries like alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceuticals by restricting advertising practices.
Government policies - Marijuana - Canada - analysis and commentary - july 2017

- The document discusses the legal and ethical responsibilities of public health organizations, particularly regarding providing accurate consumer information on potentially less harmful alternatives to cigarettes.
- It notes public health groups can be sued and lose reputation if they do not meet an acceptable standard of providing evidence-based information to consumers.
- The document argues public health groups should give people enough information to make informed decisions and the ability to act on that information, rather than blame people for decisions made without proper information.

Marijuna and Canada - All you need to know
Canada will enter a new era starting October 17, 2018 as pot marijuana will be legal in Canada.
The Liberals rushed the Marijuana/Pot Law as part of building up for the 2019 election. The Law is flawed
There is cost when it comes to marijuana legalization that is all but ignored by the Liberals, i.e. enforcement, Quality Control, mental health, addiction, healthcare cost, distribution, criminal code, etc.
Pot will open up an new business segment for the economy which will help economic growth. There have been issues with
Pot facilities in the past including environmental issues (i.e. air quality, chemicals, water management, etc)
Pot will not stop the black market of marijuana. The black market is already a big issue for other areas of the economy - https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/181012/dq181012a-eng.htm. This would mean the need for more CRA auditors, Police Enforcement, etc. No where has the Liberal discussed what tools they will deploy to stem the underground economy.
Reconceptualising drugs, drug use and problematic drug use
This seminar explores conceptualizations of drug use and problematic drug use. It argues that popular discourse focuses on physiological and psychological dependence as drivers of addiction, but draws on 25 years of experience to suggest that byproducts of the "war on drugs" like stigma, discrimination, and exclusion do more to entrench problem drug users in drug-centered lifestyles. The presentation explores how drug use is a social construct that varies culturally, how most drug users do not have problems, and how the war on drugs criminalizes users and worsens social problems rather than solving them. It argues for approaches that focus on social integration rather than just abstinence to help problem drug users overcome exclusion.

This document summarizes a presentation criticizing New Zealand's policy of drug testing beneficiaries. The presentation argues that drug testing is an unreliable and costly policy that breaches human rights and risks excluding people from assistance without clear benefits. Testing targets drug presence rather than impairment and undermines New Zealand's stated harm reduction approach. The policy is driven more by political ideology than scientific evidence and may encourage use of more dangerous substitute drugs. Overall, the presentation concludes drug testing of beneficiaries is an unrealistic and intolerant policy that risks harm without gain.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Targeting Hsp90 and its pathogen Orthologs with Tethered Inhibitors as a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategy for cancer and infectious diseases with Dr. Timothy Haystead.The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
