Guidance For Accounting Professors, Stephen Scarpati

WCBT Faculty Publications

When reflecting upon their choice ofcareer, many CPAs look back to a particular college accounting professor as a source of influence. In return, many accounting professors warmly recall the assistance they were able to give students. While the benefits of a successful CPA career are obvious to many, from the standpoint of a 19-year-old undergraduate trying to pick a major, the decision is daunting. The demands of a challenging accounting curriculum can be intimidating. Add the complex regulations and rigorous examination for CPA licensing and the expectations can be overwhelming to a young student. Accounting professors can play a vital …

Music To Everyone's Ears: Binding Mediation In Music Rights Disputes, Matthew H. Ormsbee

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Litigation has been the mainstay of copyright disputes since America's earliest copyright statute first permitted a cause of action for copyright infringement in 1790. While alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") has become more prevalent in other areas of the law, many copyright attorneys and their clients do not typically consider ADR processes a viable option because these processes are still relatively new to copyright law.

This Note proposes greater use of binding mediation, a specialized ADR process, in music rights disputes, which are fundamentally copyright infringement disputes. Section I discusses the background of copyright litigation and modern application of ADR in …

Magnetism Of Cluster-Deposited Y–Co Nanoparticles, Balamuruga Balamurugan, Ralph Skomski, Xingzhong Li, V. R. Shah, George C. Hadjipanayis, Jeffrey E. Shield, David J. Sellmyer

Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience: Faculty Publications

Nanoparticles of YCo₂, YCo_3, and YCo₅ are produced by cluster-deposition and investigated both structurally and magnetically. The nanoparticles have sizes of less than 10 nm and are superparamagnetic at 300 K, irrespective of stoichiometry. As-produced nanoparticles exhibit disordered structures with magnetic properties differing from those of the bulk particles. The temperature-dependent magnetization curves of the nanoparticles reveal blocking temperatures from 110 to 250 K, depending on stoichiometry. The magnetic anisotropy constant K₁ of disordered YCo₅ nanoparticles of 7.8 nm in size is 3.5×10⁶ergs/cm³, higher than those of the disordered YCo …

Transformative Learning Through Cultural Immersion, Rebecca A. Addleman, Carol Jo Brazo, Tatiana Cevallos

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

This qualitative study explored avenues to increase students’ intercultural competence through transformative learning. School of Education graduate students and faculty from a small, private university traveled to Ecuador to participate in a cultural immersion practicum. In addition to these primary goals, the trip was designed to facilitate transformative learning about cultural conceptions, diversity, and the dynamics of student differences with the goal of understanding one’s own cultural framework and adapting to another culture to develop empathy towards culturally and linguistically diverse students in the United States.

Information Leakage Through Second Hand Usb Flash Drives Within The United Kingdom, Widya Chaerani, Nathan Clarke, Christopher Bolan

Australian Digital Forensics Conference

The pervasiveness of flash based USB storage alongside increasing capacity and lowering price points has lead to a documented potential for information leakage. Such a potential is significantly raised when employees are able to use personal devices within a business environment with little regard to safe disposal practices. This study purchased a range of USB storage devices from UK based auction sites to determine what if any data was recoverable. The study found a total of 36136 recoverable files including a range of data detailing private information of previous owners, confidential corporate data, with twenty percent of the purchased USB …

Japan's Business Revitalization Adr: An Economic Savior Or A Convenient Excuse To Avoid Bankruptcy?, Naoko Okamoto

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Note analyzes Japan's newly enacted "Business Revitalization Alternative Dispute Resolution" (ADR) and its effectiveness in revitalizing the Japanese economy. Due to ADR's economic and procedural ease, Business Revitalization ADR has been employed by companies undergoing revitalization processes and negotiating with creditors in extending debt payments. Nonetheless, ADR proceedings, specifically mediation between creditors and debtors, create only short-term economic value. Because of cultural characteristics of mediation and the nature of mediation in the business context in Japan, Business Revitalization ADR may be subject to abuse by companies that should have gone bankrupt. In fact, many companies may save themselves from …

Gray-Market Goods And Copyright's Gray Area, James Gibson

Law Faculty Publications

Copyright law generally gives authors no control over the aftermarket for their goods. Suppose I write a book, and I sell you a copy of it. You are free to resell the book, or lend it to a friend, or give it away. That’s because as long as your copy is “lawfully made under this title” (that is, made with my authorization under U.S. law), then copyright has nothing to say about its further distribution – who owns it, who sells it to whom, etc.

This notion is known as the first sale doctrine. It is so named because at …

The Dmca And Repeat Infringers, James Gibson

Law Faculty Publications

The recent agreement between big media companies and big Internet service providers (ISPs) concerning online copyright infringement has the law and technology world abuzz. ISPs like Comcast, Verizon, and Time Warner Cable have agreed to implement a system under which subscribers who repeatedly and illegally download copyrighted content will have their Internet access impeded and maybe even terminated.

This is big news, and it will probably receive more attention in this IP Viewpoints series. But the purpose of this column is to put this agreement in context, because much of what the companies have agreed to do appears to be …

An Evidence-Based Toolkit For Human Papillomavirus Vaccine Education Of Female Adolescents In The School Setting, Nancy R. Kloha

DNP Projects

A new vaccine to prevent human papillomavirus infection was approved in 2006 in the United States (U.S.). Uptake of the vaccine has been less than optimal (CDC, 2010c). New venues for promoting vaccine acceptance are needed (Middleman & Tung, 2010). The goal of this capstone clinical project is to create an evidence based toolkit for use by school nurses in educating female adolescents, parents, communities and other healthcare providers about the HPV vaccine.

Schools nurses have daily access to young people in the target group for HPV immunization. A vital component of vaccine acceptance is education of those who are …

Groundwater Uranium And Cancer Incidence In South Carolina, Sara E. Wagner, James B. Burch, Matteo Bottai, Robin C. Puett, Dwayne E. Porter, Susan Bolick-Aldrich, Tom Temples, Rebecca C. Wilkerson, John E. Vena, James R. Hébert

Faculty Publications

Objective

This ecologic study tested the hypothesis that census tracts with elevated groundwater uranium and more frequent groundwater use have increased cancer incidence.

Methods

Data sources included: incident total, leukemia, prostate, breast, colorectal, lung, kidney, and bladder cancers (1996–2005, SC Central Cancer Registry); demographic and groundwater use (1990 US Census); and groundwater uranium concentrations (n = 4,600, from existing federal and state databases). Kriging was used to predict average uranium concentrations within tracts. The relationship between uranium and standardized cancer incidence ratios was modeled among tracts with substantial groundwater use via linear or semiparametric regression, with and without stratification …

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Note proceeds in five parts. Part I provides a historical background of the events prior to and during the Armenian Genocide, and the claims arising out of the Genocide. Part II discusses the status of Genocide restitution and the roadblocks that continue to prevent widespread recovery. Part III explains the timeline of the Holocaust restitution movement and how advocates for restitution were finally able to have some success. Part IV proposes that Genocide-era claims be sought not only by filing lawsuits, but also by creating momentum through negotiation and other principles of ADR. Part V concludes by reiterating the …

The Adventures Of 'Superman': A Narrative Worth Mediating, Jeffrey Zeman

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Summer, 2013. The world will believe, again, a man can fly. Most likely, anyway. Maybe. Fingers crossed.

The rights to Superman and his stories are the subject of a long-developing and heated dispute between publisher DC Comics ("DC") and the estate of Jerry Siegel, co-creator of the iconic character. While a much-talked-about reboot of the movie franchise enters preproduction, the latest round of lawsuits involves DC suing the Siegel family's attorney. The publisher claims attorney Marc Toberoff has wrongfully interfered with "contractual rights and other interests" by advising the families of Siegel and his cocreator, Joe Schuster, to reclaim the …

After The Ecj's West Tankers: The Clash Of Civilizations On The Issue Of An Anti-Suit Injunction, Grace Gunah Kim

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Note argues that the ECJ's West Tankers decision to ban an anti-suit injunction in Europe, coupled with the recent European Commission's reform proposals to govern arbitration within the jurisdictional framework of the Brussels Regulation No. 44/ 2001 ("Brussels Regulation"), directly clash with the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards ("New York Convention") and practically amount to a blanket rule that bars English courts from upholding arbitration agreements.

Censoring Crimes, Barak Y. Orbach, Allison S. Woolston

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

Concerns regarding the harmful influence of films on youth and adults have always motivated censorship and justified, in some minds, greater government control over content. Many motion pictures portray illegal conduct-theft, robbery, embezzlement, arson, drug dealing, assault, rape, murder, treason, and other crimes. In most instances, commission of the underlying crime is not needed for the production of the film. Despite the perpetual fear of the "capacity for evil" of films, the legality of motion pictures that commercialize crimes has not been studied as a concept. This Essay explores the reasons for this neglect and examines the problems this omission …
