Professional Liability Insurance For Athletic Trainers: A Cross Sectional Study Of Athletic Trainers Who Do Per Diem Work, Kameelah J. Belgrave

Honors Undergraduate Theses

Context: Many secondary school athletic trainers (ATs) complete per diem work as a way to supplement their income. Working per diem means the AT provides services to events that are not part of their main employment. Since this type of work is not connected to their main employment, the AT may lack appropriate professional liability insurance (PLI). PLI is a type of insurance that protects healthcare professionals from bearing the entire cost of defending a malpractice claim made by a former or current patient. Anecdotally, many ATs believe that the PLI provided by their main employer covers all health care …

Understanding Aggressive Driving Behavior: The Role Of Personality And Individual Differences, Enilda M. Velazquez

Honors Undergraduate Theses

According to recent reports, 56 percent of total vehicular accident deaths were related to aggressive driving. Previous research on aggressive driving was related to cognitive failures, sex differences, individual driving habits, and to a lesser extent, personality. Personality focused aggressive driving research has not produced a consensus on the predictive nature of personality traits on the propensity to engage in aggressive driving. However, a lack of consensus on personality's role in aggressive driving warrants further empirical examination into the relationship between personality and aggressive driving. Similarly, the impact of individual differences on aggressive driving behavior cannot be ignored; the role …

Recidivism Among Previously Incarcerated People Enrolled In Riverside County Whole Person Care, Ndifreke Emmanuel Etim

CGU Theses & Dissertations

The United States continues to policy shift towards reducing the number of incarcerated people; however, many people released from incarceration will be rearrested due to re-entry challenges. Several re-entry programs, such as the Whole Person Care pilot, have been developed to address these challenges and ensure that formerly incarcerated people successfully transition into the community. The primary aim of this project is to explore the determinants of recidivism among previously incarcerated people enrolled in the Whole Person Care pilot in Riverside County. This study suggests early linkage to services, such as mental health and substance use treatment services, will reduce …

Virtual Criminal Courts, Deniz Ariturk, William E. Crozier, Brandon L. Garrett

Faculty Scholarship

Criminal courtrooms are among many workplaces to shut down and adopt virtual operations in response to the coronavirus pandemic. As criminal courts around the United States suspended in-person proceedings, virtual hearings, where parties appear through videoconference or teleconference technology, have allowed courts to remain in session while reducing the danger to public health. Courts at all levels, from small municipal courts to the U.S. Supreme Court, have been hearing arguments remotely. In 38 states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, courts have either mandated or encouraged the use of virtual hearings when appropriate. Federal courts …

Impacts Of Shoaling Ocean Surface Waves On Wind Stress And Storm Surge, Xuanyu Chen

Open Access Dissertations

Ocean surface waves have been known to affect the wind stress, or air-sea momentum flux, in the open ocean under tropical cyclones. As a tropical cyclone (TC) makes landfall, the surface waves shoal as they enter the shallower coastal waters (< 30~50 m). The impacts of these shoaling surface waves on the wind stress have not yet been thoroughly investigated, but they have been postulated to be important for storm surge prediction. In this study, the WAVEWATCH III (WW3) model is used to simulate the depth modifications on the surface wave fields and the wind stress. Two wave-spectrum based wind stress estimation modules in the WW3 model are used to quantify the impact of wave shoaling on wind stress and drag coefficient under steady uniform wind and tropical cyclone conditions. The consequence of using the shoaling wave modified wind stress for modeling storm surge is investigated using the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) model.

For the shoaling wave simulations, an accurate wave field generated by tropical cyclones in the open ocean needs to be established first. The sensitivity of tropical cyclone wave simulations in the open ocean to different spatial resolutions (1/3 °, 1/6 °, 1/12 ° and 1/24 °) is evaluated using two wave models, WW3 and Simulating WAves Nearshore. Results from …

The Categorical Imperative As A Decarceral Agenda, Jessica M. Eaglin

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In his forthcoming book, The Insidious Momentum of Mass Incarceration, Frank Zimring proposes two alternative methods to decarcerate: states can adopt a categorical imperative to reduce prison populations or states can reform the governance of sentencing. This symposium Essay focuses on the first of these options, as proposed in his tentative Chapter Six, wherein Zimring calls for categorically removing drug-addicted offenders from eligibility for prison sanctions and expanding use of jails for categories of offenses or offenders.

These methods, I suggest, exist in tension with numerous popular sentencing reforms being implemented in the states right now. Popular reforms, including the …

Probation And Monetary Sanctions In Georgia: Evidence From A Multi-Method Study, Sarah Shannon

Georgia Law Review

Georgia leads the nation in probation supervision, which has been the subject of recent legislative reforms. Probation supervision is the primary mechanism for monitoring and collecting legal financial obligations (LFOs) from people sentenced in Georgia courts. This Article analyzes how monetary sanctions and probation supervision intersect in Georgia using quantitative data from the Department of Community Supervision as well as interviews with probationers and probation officers gathered as part of the Multi-State Study of Monetary Sanctions between 2015 and 2018. Several key findings emerge: (1) there is substantial variation between judicial districts in the amount of fines and fees ordered …

Boots And Bail On The Ground: Assessing The Implementation Of Misdemeanor Bail Reforms In Georgia, Andrea Woods, Sandra G. Mayson, Lauren Sudeall, Guthrie Armstrong, Anthony Potts

Georgia Law Review

This Article presents a mixed-methods study of misdemeanor bail practice across Georgia in the wake of reform. We observed bail hearings and interviewed system actors in a representative sample of fifty-five counties to assess the extent to which pretrial practice conforms to legal standards clarified in Senate Bill 407 and Walker v. Calhoun. We also analyzed jail population data published by county jails and by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. We found that a handful of counties have made promising headway in adhering to law and best practices, but that the majority have some distance to go. Most counties …

Juvenile Justice Reform In Georgia: A Collective Decisionmaking Approach To De-Politicize Crime And Punishment, The Honorable Steven Teske

Georgia Law Review

Since the creation of the first juvenile court in 1899, juvenile courts have undergone periods of transition in response to legislative enactments prompted by societal events or in response to legal challenges involving due process rights of children. This Article examines politics and the extent in which it played a role in shaping juvenile justice and crime policies and its impact on children and public safety. In this critical review of each period of transition, this Article concludes that the lack of success among juvenile justice agencies, including the courts, is predominately the result of the politicizing of crime and …

Potential Benefits From Practices In Construction Waste Material Controls, Abdulaziz Alwadhenani

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Construction waste is generated from the various construction activities of building, maintaining, renovating, and demolishing infrastructure facilities. These materials include, but are not limited to, concrete, rubble, fiberglass, asphalt, bricks, wood, and scrap metals. In the last few decades, there has been a significant increase in the volume of construction and demolition (C&D) waste materials in the United States (U.S.). Between 1990 and 2017, the total increase in debris generation has surpassed 320%. According to U.S. solid waste management statistics, more than 50% of C&D waste has been and continues to be transported to landfills. The disposal of C&D waste …

Green Completion As A Mitigation For Btex Exposure In Gas Flaring: Nigeria Case Study (Exposure Assessment And Cost Model), Akintunde S. Akinyemi

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Gas flaring is an essential part of the oil and gas industry safety and waste management procedures; however, it presents a potential exposure to BTEX compounds, a group of Non-Methane Volatile Organic Compounds (NMVOC), within up to a 10-mile radius of the flare point. The physical and the psychological cost of the journey to work, make employees live close to the workplace. This study examined the perceived exposure of oil and gas industry workers to possible carcinogenic emissions outside the workplace. It looked at the outcomes of the exposure to BTEX through gas flaring drawing on archival data and using …
