Cooperative Patent Prosecution: Viewing Patents Through A Pragmatic Lens, Kristen Osenga

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

This Article constructs a linguistics-based framework to consider claim construction and demonstrates that the often-told story that claim construction is broken is, in fact, wrong. Rather, it is the underlying conversations that comprise the patent acquisition process that are to blame. In Part I of this Article, I use linguistics to describe the characteristics of everyday conversation, as well as how it is interpreted. In Part II, I explain what patent conversations look like and how they are similar to and different from everyday conversation. In Part III, I apply the theories of interpreting everyday conversation to patent conversation. …

What's In A Name? Transnational Corporations As Bystanders Under International Law, Jena Martin Amerson

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

By giving TNCs the “bystander” name, this Article attempts to take the rhetoric out of its sound-bite environment and examine it for what it is: a strategy with implications for corporate accountability. This Article attempts to distinguish the “bystander” label that TNCs employ, which conveys the idea of the innocent bystander, and the name of the bystander that this Article would like to adopt, which contemplates a party that is complicit to the underlying action even when it is inactive. The term “rhetoric” employed throughout this Article is used as a more generic term for discussions of TNCs within …

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Part II explores the controversial application of the New York antiterrorism statute to a gang member in the Bronx, setting out the arguments for and against its application, made by the Bronx District Attorney's Office and Morales, respectively.

Part III argues that the statute was inappropriately applied against a New York City gang member, an application which was permissible due to vague terms within the statute. By clarifying certain …

Giving An Inch, Then Taking A Mile: How The Government's Unrestricted Recovery Of Conditional Medicare Payments Destroys Plaintiffs' Chances At Compensation Through The Tort System, Nicole Miklos

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

This Note argues that the government's recovery of conditional Medicare payments should be limited to those settlement proceeds designated for past medical expenses, calling for a reconciliation of the government's financial interests and the plaintiffs compensatory interests in the tort system. Part I of this Note discusses the evolution of Medicare's and Medicaid's role as public medical insurance programs. This Part also examines the confusion regarding the extent of the government's reimbursement rights. Part II addresses the Supreme Court's recent decision in Arkansas Department of Health & Human Services v. Ahlborn, which held that Medicaid reimbursements are limited …

Nursing Workload And The Changing Health Care Environment: A Review Of The Literature, Denise Neill

Administrative Issues Journal

Changes in the health care environment have impacted nursing workload, quality of care, and patient safety. Traditional nursing workload measures do not guarantee efficiency, nor do they adequately capture the complexity of nursing workload. Review of the literature indicates nurses perceive the quality of their work has diminished. Research has looked at tasks associated with nursing work, but not the nurse’s perception of workload demands. Human factors research principles examine cognitive and perceptual abilities needed to meet the workload demands. A human factors framework focuses on mental demands and adds an understanding of why some demands are handled easily while …
