It's Been A Privilege: Advising Patients Of The Tarasoff Duty And Its Legal Consequences For The Federal Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege, Elisia Klinka Jan 2009

It's Been A Privilege: Advising Patients Of The Tarasoff Duty And Its Legal Consequences For The Federal Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege, Elisia Klinka

Fordham Law Review

State laws modeled on Tarasoff v. Regents of the University of California require psychotherapists to warn potential victims of law enforcement when treating dangerous patients who make serious threats of harm to another person. In practice, many psychotherapists advise their patients who make such threats about their duty under these Tarasoff-model laws. Although they are not required to make these advisories by law, psychotherapists generaly assume that they asldo have a concomitant ethical duty to advise their patients taht such threats will not be kept confidential, as their communications normally world be. This Note looks at how these advisories affect …

Love They Neighbor: Should Religious Accommodations That Negatively Affect Coworkers' Shift Preferences Constitute And Undue Harship On The Employer Under Title Vii?, Rachel M. Birnbach Jan 2009

Love They Neighbor: Should Religious Accommodations That Negatively Affect Coworkers' Shift Preferences Constitute And Undue Harship On The Employer Under Title Vii?, Rachel M. Birnbach

Fordham Law Review

In applying Title VII, courts are often confronted with proposed religious accommodations that would negatively affect other employees and must decide whether such an accommodation amounts to an undue hardship on the employer. However, there is a conflict among circuit courts over the scope of an employer’s duty to accommodate religious employees when doing so would negatively affect coworkers’ scheduling preferences, outside the context of a collective bargaining agreement. The conflict turns on whether courts consider any negative impact on coworkers to amount to impermissible preferential treatment, or whether they require that the defendant demonstrate a more severe impact on …

Toward Effective Implementation Of 11 U.S.C. § 522(D)(11)(E): Invigorating A Powerful Bankruptcy Exemption, Uriel Rabinovitz Jan 2009

Toward Effective Implementation Of 11 U.S.C. § 522(D)(11)(E): Invigorating A Powerful Bankruptcy Exemption, Uriel Rabinovitz

Fordham Law Review

This Note explores how bankruptcy courts have analyzed and applied the 11 U.S.C. § 522(d)(11)(E) bankruptcy exemption and the confusion generated by its conflicting interpretations. This Note reviews and scrutinizes the history of the Bankruptcy Law, its goals and purposes, the differences between its underlying themes, and specific mechanisms involved in the implementation of bankruptcy exemptions. With a broader understanding of the rationale behind bankruptcy laws in combination with the relevant legislative history, this Note sets the stage and advocates for an increased consistency in the analysis and application of the 11 U.S.C. § 522(d)(11)(E) exemption.

Three-Dimensional Evolution Of Large-Amplitude Internal Waves In The Strait Of Gibraltar, Vasiliy Vlasenko, Jose C. Sanchez Garrido, Nataliya Stashchuk, Jesus Garcia Lafuente, Miguel Losada Jan 2009

Three-Dimensional Evolution Of Large-Amplitude Internal Waves In The Strait Of Gibraltar, Vasiliy Vlasenko, Jose C. Sanchez Garrido, Nataliya Stashchuk, Jesus Garcia Lafuente, Miguel Losada

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

The modeling of large-amplitude internal waves (LAIWs) propagating in the Strait of Gibraltar is carried out using a fully nonlinear nonhydrostatic numerical model. The focus of the modeling efforts was on three-dimensional peculiarities of LAIW evolution, namely, cross-strait variability, interaction with lateral boundaries (including wave breaking and water mixing), radiation of secondary waves from orographic features, and interaction of secondary scattered internal waves. The along-channel propagation of packets of LAIWs reveals remarkable three-dimensional behavior. Due to the Coriolis force and multiple reflections from the lateral boundaries, the largest leading LAIW loses its energy much faster than that in the packet …

Undressing And Redressing The Harlequin: An Australian Designer's Perspective, Julie Parsons Jan 2009

Undressing And Redressing The Harlequin: An Australian Designer's Perspective, Julie Parsons

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

In undressing and redressing the Harlequin from an Australian designer’s perspective, the question is why has the Harlequin costume endured for over 500 years and in locations far away from its country of origin? Why do we associate its lozenge pattern with energetic joyous mischief? What are the Harlequin costume codes and how have they been manifested in Australia? The thesis components are divided as follows: The Designer’s Notebook is a pictorial and historical review of the iconic costume, which is made up of a complex patchwork of triangles where colour placements form a diamond pattern called a lozenge. The …

A Model Of Employment Literacy: Young People In Western Australia, Katherine F. Britton Jan 2009

A Model Of Employment Literacy: Young People In Western Australia, Katherine F. Britton

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

This exploratory study aimed to examine the meanings of employment literacy among young people undertaking vocational education or training (VET), trainers, funding representatives and employers in Western Australia. A further objective was to develop a model of employment literacy that would inform training or educational organisations. Employment literacy incorporates the personal and social dimensions that young disadvantaged people require to secure and maintain employment. It also includes the understandings and capacity to access infonnation from a variety of sources and negotiate with a range of people in employment related settings. In-depth interviewing was the main method used so that different …

Self-Determination Theory In Motivation To Adopt Physical Activity In Older Adults: A Community Based Approach, Alastair Stewart Jan 2009

Self-Determination Theory In Motivation To Adopt Physical Activity In Older Adults: A Community Based Approach, Alastair Stewart

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

Australia has an increasingly aging population with increasing levels of physical inactivity. The potential detrimental effects of these two factors on the health of the community highlight the need to investigate methods to increase physical activity in older Australian adults. The study reported in this thesis formed part of the PATH (Physical Activity Time for Health) Project, a community-based research trial that compared two strategies to increase physical activity in underactive, 60-80 year old men (n = 66) and women (n = 188). Twelve recreation centres were randomised to either a supervised group based walking intervention with behavioural change components, …
