The Potential Use Of Slow-Down Technology To Improve Pronounciation Of English For International Communication, Bunny Richardson
The Potential Use Of Slow-Down Technology To Improve Pronounciation Of English For International Communication, Bunny Richardson
Doctoral
The focus of this research is on oral communication between L1 (first language) and L2 (second language) English users - to determine whether an algorithm which slows down speech can increase the intelligibility of speech between interlocutors for EIC (English for International Communication). The slow-down facility is a CALL tool which slows down speech without tonal distortion. It allows English language learners more processing time to hear individual phonemes as produced in the stream of connected speech, to help them hear and produce phonemes more accurately and thus more intelligibly. The study involved five tests, all concerned with the intelligibility …

Trademarks And Human Rights: Oil And Water? Or Chocolate And Peanut Butter?, Megan M. Carpenter
Law Faculty Scholarship
In recent years, there has been a growing discourse at the intersection of intellectual property and human rights, including whether or not individual intellectual property rights are, or can be, human rights. In 2007, this debate began to focus on the area of trademarks. That year, the European Court of Human Rights determined that it had jurisdiction over a trademark dispute, by virtue of the property rights provision found in Article 1 of Protocol 1 to the European Convention on Human Rights. This paper seeks to explore the connection between trademarks and human rights. The first part of the article …

Eliminating The Secondary Earner Bias: Lessons From Malaysia, The United Kingdom, And Ireland, Tonya Major Gauff
Eliminating The Secondary Earner Bias: Lessons From Malaysia, The United Kingdom, And Ireland, Tonya Major Gauff
Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy
This Student Comment explores the long-standing gender bias inherent in the United States Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). Specifically, this Comment discusses the bias of the taxing code against secondary earners in dual-income families. Under the IRC, primary earners in a dual-income household are taxed at a much lower rate than secondary earners in the household. As women have historically suffered from lower wages and income than their husbands, the effect of the IRC is to tax married women at much higher rates than married men. Indeed, the average working married woman loses over two-thirds of her pay to income taxes. …

Toward Fundamental Change For The Protection Of Low-Wage Workers: The “Workers’ Rights Are Human Rights" Debate In The Obama Era, Ruben J. Garcia
Toward Fundamental Change For The Protection Of Low-Wage Workers: The “Workers’ Rights Are Human Rights" Debate In The Obama Era, Ruben J. Garcia
Scholarly Works
In order to avoid the pendulum swings of politics, advocates must argue for more fundamental norms for the protection of labor rights. Statutory protections, while important, will not provide long-lasting change toward establishing workers' rights as fundamental under constitutional and international law principles. Workers' rights must be seen as fundamental to the functioning of a democratic society, rather than as the special interest agenda of unions or plaintiffs' attorneys. This can be done through more advocacy for a minimum set of workers' rights as human rights, including the right to organize labor unions and the right to be free from …
