Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator For Acute Ischemic Stroke, Amira R. Al-Buhairi, Mohammed M. Jan Jan 2002

Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator For Acute Ischemic Stroke, Amira R. Al-Buhairi, Mohammed M. Jan

Neurosciences

Stroke is a leading cause of serious and long-term disability and death worlwide, with approximately 750,000 strokes occuring annually in the United States of America. The risk of stroke doubles each decade for people over 55 years. Cerebral angiography conducted soon after the onset of stroke demonstrates arterial occlusion in 70%-80% of cases. Recanalization of an occluded cerebral artery may assist in the recovery of reversibly ischemic tissue and limit the neurological disability. In June 1996, the recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was approved as a safe and an effective intravenous treatment for acute ischemic stroke, especially if given within 3 …

Keeping Secrets, Dale Carpenter Jan 2002

Keeping Secrets, Dale Carpenter

Articles

The right to privacy is the power to keep secrets. It is a power conferred in one form or another by the Constitution, by statute, and by tort law. It hinders the ability of the government and other citizens to know things about us that we -- often for very good reasons - would rather not have them know. It is a power that acts as a counterweight to the power of the state and of other citizens to monitor-often for very good reasons-what we do, what we read, what we say, and with whom we associate


The Most Difficult Ada Reasonable Accommodation Issues: Reassignment And Leave Of Absence, Stephen F. Befort Jan 2002

The Most Difficult Ada Reasonable Accommodation Issues: Reassignment And Leave Of Absence, Stephen F. Befort

Articles

The Americans with Disabilities Act obligates employers to provide reasonable accomodations to disabled workers as a means of enabling those workers to perform essential job duties. Of all the accomodations contemplated by the ADA, leaves of absence and reassignment to another position pose the most troublesome legal and human resource issues. These two types of accomodations do not merely tweak the job that a disabled employee is asked to perform, but instead excuse such employees from performing their original job assignment. While facilitating disabled employees to remain gainfully employed, these accomodations impose significant burdens on both employers and fellow employees. …


A Review Of The Fifty-Third Session Of The Sub-Commission On The Promotion And Protection Of Human Rights, David Weissbrodt, Bret Thiele, Mayra Gomez, Muria Kruger Jan 2002

A Review Of The Fifty-Third Session Of The Sub-Commission On The Promotion And Protection Of Human Rights, David Weissbrodt, Bret Thiele, Mayra Gomez, Muria Kruger

Articles

The term ‘fundamentalism’ means adherence to principles of one’s religion. Therefore, Islamic fundamentalism stands for a return to the doctrines of Islam in their original form as were practised in the medieval times. It could also mean idealising the historical past of Islam and calling for a return to ‘pure and original Islam’, which can be achieved through peaceful, lawful and cultural/spiritual means. In practice, the focus of Islamists has been Islamisation of the state rather than reform of the individuals. It has generated conflict as the Islamic fundamentalists seek to impose their will through coercion, violence and terror. Radical …


Labor And Employment Law At The Millennium: A Historical Review And Critical Assessment, Stephen F. Befort Jan 2002

Labor And Employment Law At The Millennium: A Historical Review And Critical Assessment, Stephen F. Befort

Articles

This Article uses a historical perspective as a basis to analyze the current state of labor and employment law in the United States. The Article first chronicles the decline in collective governance and the corresponding rise in the governmental regulation of the individual employment relation during the past 50 years, and attempts to ascertain the socio-economic forces contributing to this evolution. The Article then critiques the current state of workplace legal rules and finds a number of deficiencies in terms of both efficiency and equity. The Article pays particular attention to the impact of globalization and the resulting exacerbation in …

Redeeming The Welshed Guarantee: A Scheme For Achieving Justiciability, Ethan J. Leib Jan 2002

Redeeming The Welshed Guarantee: A Scheme For Achieving Justiciability, Ethan J. Leib

Faculty Scholarship

In this article, I suggest that Congress re-pass its progressive legislation under the jurisdictional basis of its Guarantee Clause power. While arguments for justiciability continue to be made, a pragmatic way to achieve it has not been spelled out. Part II will lay out versions of republicanism I hope to see discussed in the context of the Guarantee Clause. Part III will explore republicanism's excessive attention on the courts, recommending the aforementioned approach of Jeremy Waldron. Part IV will briefly suggest how some of the legislation recently curtailed by the Supreme Court might be justified under a theory of legislative, …


Vagueness, Ignorance, And Margins For Error, Kenton Machina, Harry Deutsch Jan 2002

Vagueness, Ignorance, And Margins For Error, Kenton Machina, Harry Deutsch

Faculty Publications - Philosophy

We argue that the epistemic theory of vagueness cannot adequately justify its key tenet–that vague predicates have precisely bounded extensions, of which we are necessarily ignorant. Nor can the theory adequately account for our ignorance of the truth values of borderline cases. Furthermore, we argue that Williamson's promising attempt to explicate our understanding of vague language on the model of a certain sort of "inexact knowledge" is at best incomplete, since certain forms of vagueness do not fit Williamson's model, and in fact fit an alternative model. Finally, we point out that a certain kind of irremediable inexactitude postulated by …
