The Roberts Court And The End Of The Entity Theory, Andrew J. Trask

Akron Law Review

This Article traces the shift away from the entity theory. It begins with a discussion of the various academic treatments of the entity model, from its first formulation years ago to the more radical “trust device” theories advanced today. It then looks at the various ways in which implicitly adopting the entity model has affected various rulings in class action litigation. Finally, it discusses how the 9–0 opinions in Taylor v. Sturgell, Bayer Corp. v. Smith, and Standard Fire Insurance Co. v. Knowles (buttressed by Justice Elena Kagan’s dissent in Symczyk v. Genesis Health Co.) have made it clear that …

The Class Abides: Class Actions And The "Roberts Court", Elizabeth J. Cabraser

Akron Law Review

This Article does not delve deeply into the substantive issues of Wal-Mart, Concepcion, or Italian Colors...My focus is on how Rule 23 has fared, structurally and practically, in the aftermath of the “common answer” formulation of Wal-Mart; three other decisions of the Roberts Court, Dukes, Amgen, and Comcast; and three cases that the Roberts Court did not ultimately take in the wake of Amgen and Comcast: its denials of review in Whirlpool, Butler, and Deepwater. Also discussed is the newly intense debate on the use of cy pres, catalyzed by Chief Justice Roberts’ extraordinary “Statement” accompanying the denial of certiorari …

Front-Loading, Avoidance, And Other Features Of The Recent Supreme Court Class Action Jurisprudence, Richard D. Freer

Akron Law Review

This Article discusses each of the thirteen Supreme Court decisions with the goal of drawing at least tentative conclusions for their impact on federal class practice. The thirteen decisions may be placed into five groups. Only three of the cases directly involve the general interpretation and application of Rule 23, while the other ten fall into four particular substantive areas. Reflecting these divisions, this Article proceeds in five parts. Part I discusses the three cases directly interpreting Rule 23. Part II addresses the three decisions involving securities classes brought under Rule 10b-5. Part III discusses the three decisions involving the …

The Dueling Influences On Stigma Toward Mental Illness: Effects Of Interpersonal Familiarity And Stigmatizing Mediated Portrayals Of Mental Illness On Attitudes, Bridget Rubenking, Cheryl C. Bracken

Communication Faculty Publications

Popular media is both a common source for information about mental illness and notorious for its disproportionately negative and violent portrayals of those with mental illness. This research undertook an experiment (N = 92) to explore the competing influences of mass communication messages and interpersonal familiarity/ experience with people with mental illness on stigmatizing attitudes toward the mentally ill. Results demonstrate that exposure to negative, violent mediated portrayals of the mentally ill increase stigmatizing attitudes toward the mentally ill, while exposure to positive, sympathetic portrayals of the mentally ill relates to less stigmatizing attitudes toward the mentally ill. Greater interpersonal …

Faculty Articles

The study purpose was to assess the effects of guided imagery on sedation levels, sedative and analgesic volume consumption, and physiological responses of patients being weaned from mechanical ventilation.

The intervention included two sessions, each lasting 60 minutes, offered during morning weaning trials from mechanical ventilation. Measurements were recorded in groups at baseline and 30- and 60-minute intervals and included vital signs and Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) score. …

Inequality As A Powerful Predictor Of Infant And Maternal Mortality Around The World, Juan I. Ruiz, Kaamel Nuhu, Justin Tyler Mcdaniel, Ariel Izcovich, Federico Popoff, Juan Martin Criniti

Publications

Background

Maternal and infant mortality are highly devastating, yet, in many cases, preventable events for a community. The human development of a country is a strong predictor of maternal and infant mortality, reflecting the importance of socioeconomic factors in determinants of health. Previous research has shown that the Human Development Index (HDI) predicts infant mortality rate (IMR) and the maternal mortality ratio (MMR). Inequality has also been shown to be associated with worse health in certain populations. The main purpose of the present study was to determine the correlation and predictive power of the Inequality Adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI) …

The University As A Site For Transformation Around Sustainability, J Winter, D Cotton, P Hopkinson, V Grant

Plymouth Institute of Education

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has emerged in response to the negative consequences of economic and industrial processes. These issues are highly complex and their mitigation suggests social and economic transformation underpinned by a paradigm shift in favour of sustainability. Higher Education (HE) plays a crucial role in ESD; however there is little research which has investigated the links between transformative learning theories and ESD. This paper reports on research which explored academic and student perceptions of opportunities for transformation around sustainability in two UK universities. The findings suggest that, despite shared understanding about the nature of pedagogic approaches that …
