Fragmentation Of International Cybercrime Law, Mailyn Fidler Jan 2025

Fragmentation Of International Cybercrime Law, Mailyn Fidler

Law Faculty Scholarship

Cybercrime is global. But legal approaches to combating cybercrime have been fragmented. The first such multilateral legal mechanism, the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, was launched in 2001 and positioned by its primarily Western drafters as a global instrument. But it has struggled to achieve full international uptake. Instead, many states have used regional organizations to create their own legal mechanisms addressing cybercrime and cybersecurity threats. More recently, the UN Convention on Cybercrime has emerged as an alternative to this fragmented landscape. But the emergence and significance of this “convergent” option cannot be understood without the context of the deep fragmentation …


Digital Platform Safety And The Problem Of Variable Costs, Margaret E. O'Grady, Fiona Scott Morton Jan 2025

Digital Platform Safety And The Problem Of Variable Costs, Margaret E. O'Grady, Fiona Scott Morton

Law Faculty Scholarship

Because the United States has no digital regulator to set minimum quality or safety standards for digital products, dominant platforms have both the ability and permission to harm consumers, a trend which will accelerate. Digital platforms with market power have no incentive to shoulder the expense of providing safe, high-quality services, because the marginal costs of providing increased quality and safety—often human beings engaged in content moderation or fact-checking—are so high. If providing better quality would increase profits, digital platforms would have done so already. Instead, digital platforms act like automobile manufacturers before regulators required seatbelts: they will insist that …

A Quality Improvement Initiative To Enhance The Effectiveness Of Pre-Anesthesia Documentation And Nurse Satisfaction In The Pacu, Stephanie Colon Jan 2025

A Quality Improvement Initiative To Enhance The Effectiveness Of Pre-Anesthesia Documentation And Nurse Satisfaction In The Pacu, Stephanie Colon

Master's Theses and Capstones

Background: Documentation is an essential component of healthcare delivery, especially in perianesthesia nursing. Electronic health records (EHR) have helped create high-quality documentation according to the standards of the American Nurses Association. However, EHRs have been found to be burdensome on nurses when they interfere with their workflow.

Local Problem: The documentation process for pre-operative anesthesia assessments within a nine bed PACU in Southern New Hampshire was found to be inefficient, increased chances of error or mistakes, and delayed patient data being accessible to the team.

Methods: Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) model, a quality improvement project was performed to update and …


Prioritizing Safety Through Evidence-Based Fall Prevention Signage: A Medical-Surgical Quality Improvement Project, Sonila Murati Jan 2025

Prioritizing Safety Through Evidence-Based Fall Prevention Signage: A Medical-Surgical Quality Improvement Project, Sonila Murati

Master's Theses and Capstones

Background: Falls in the inpatient setting can result in prolonged hospitalization, injury, and increased healthcare costs. Older adult patients are particularly vulnerable due to age-related physiological decline and comorbidities, underscoring the need for effective fall prevention strategies.

Local Problem: In a medical-surgical telemetry unit at a New Hampshire hospital, monthly patient falls continued to be a persistent concern. Leadership identified inconsistent adherence to fall precautions as a key contributing factor, particularly concerning a predominantly older adult population with high fall risk. This project aimed to reduce preventable falls by reinforcing staff awareness through visual reminders.

Methods: Guided by the Plan-Do-Study-Act …


Enhancing Patient-Centered Suicide Prevention: A Quality Improvement Project Addressing Educational Gaps In Staff Caring For Veterans, Shayla Craigue Jan 2025

Enhancing Patient-Centered Suicide Prevention: A Quality Improvement Project Addressing Educational Gaps In Staff Caring For Veterans, Shayla Craigue

Master's Theses and Capstones

Veterans are at significantly higher risk for suicidal ideation (SI) than the general population and often encounter barriers to care such as stigma, trauma, and distrust in healthcare systems. This quality improvement project, conducted at a Veterans Affairs (VA) Urgent Care Clinic, aimed to enhance trauma-informed care by addressing educational gaps among clinical staff. Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) model, the intervention included a pre-intervention survey to assess baseline knowledge, a targeted educational poster informed by survey findings, and a post-intervention survey to measure changes in staff confidence, resource awareness, and understanding of the role of the mental health response team, …


Enhancing Patient Safety And Nursing Satisfaction In The Operating Room By Implementing Standardized Handoff Communication Sheets: A Quality Improvement Project, Hayleigh Mcneil Jan 2025

Enhancing Patient Safety And Nursing Satisfaction In The Operating Room By Implementing Standardized Handoff Communication Sheets: A Quality Improvement Project, Hayleigh Mcneil

Master's Theses and Capstones

Background: Communication is essential to workflow in the operating room. In this microsystem, circulating nurses required relief nurses when necessary breaks were needed. Written communication allows for nurses to quickly access information when they are giving handoff reports.

Local Problem: An operating room in a trauma level two hospital in New England had a verbal handoff that was inconsistent and left relief nurses with incomplete reports. This issue caused a decrease in nursing satisfaction with a potential decrease in patient safety.

Methods: Using the Plan-Do-Study-Act model, a written standardized communication sheet was created and implemented. Data was …

Microstructural Changes, Damage Evolution And Failure Of Hcp Metals Titanium And Magnesium, Nicholas Mark Pitkin Jan 2025

Microstructural Changes, Damage Evolution And Failure Of Hcp Metals Titanium And Magnesium, Nicholas Mark Pitkin

Master's Theses and Capstones

This work presents three experimental investigations analyzing the microstructural evolution, void nucleation and growth, and failure in titanium and magnesium. The first study compares the void nucleation and growth of Grade 2 and Grade 4 commercially pure titanium during monotonic tensile testing and cyclic-bending-under-tension. Voids were characterized by X-ray computed tomography (XCT). It was shown that CBT (cyclic bending under tension) did not suppress the growth in void volume but allowed for further plastic deformation despite it. The second study investigates the relationship between microstructural evolution and void accumulation in high-purity titanium during interrupted tensile testing. The initial microstructure of …

Skills Evaluation Of Adjunct Nursing Faculty: A Quality Improvement Project, Ada Dimino Luong Jan 2025

Skills Evaluation Of Adjunct Nursing Faculty: A Quality Improvement Project, Ada Dimino Luong

DNP Scholarly Projects

Abstract

BACKGROUND: With rising student enrollment, colleges and universities are relying more on adjunct clinical nursing faculty as Clinical Nurse Educators (CNEs). Recruiting and retaining qualified CNEs is essential to high-quality clinical education. Although clinically proficient, CNEs may face challenges with teaching methods, instructional strategies, and formative feedback. This quality improvement (QI) project evaluated CNE’s competencies and developed a sustainable multimedia educational tool to enhance feedback skills in clinical education.

METHODS: The Academic Clinical Nurse Educator Skill Acquisition Tool (ACNESAT), a validated 40-item Likert-scale instrument created by Shellenbarger and Sebach, was used to assess CNE competencies. Pre and post intervention …
