Through the support of the Community Development Society (CDS) Innovation in Community Engagement Fellowship, the Detroit cohort of fellows convened with the goal of building individual and community capacity through a yearlong, hands-on educational initiative that addressed innovative engagement within a community context. Connected by the Master of Community Development program at the University of Detroit Mercy as faculty, students, alumni, or community partners, the fellows embarked on a project entitled “Creating a Learning Community for Community Engagement for Detroit Practitioners.” The objective of the project was to explore the intersection between community engagement, democratic decision-making, and community development in …

New Technological Trends Are Changing The Legal, Ethical, And Public Policy Implications Of Sting Operations, Dylan Phillips

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

It has long been held that a lawyer may not act deceitfully when working on a case by making false statements to the opposing party, especially to a person who has already retained counsel and the lawyer has already made statements directly to the opposing party. However, like all other legal doctrines, there are exceptions to the requirement that a lawyer should not engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, as well as, the exceptions to the no-contact rule. Although there is only persuasive precedent in Virginia, it can be assumed that it is generally within the limits …

To conduct a comprehensive analysis of architect's Professional liability, a range of legal areas must be considered so that to identify the possible sources that can give rise to such liability. A general understanding of contract law, tort law and criminal law proves to shed ample light onto these possible sources. Apropos contract law, a basic issue must be recognized and dealt with; i.e. the valid existence of a contractual relationship. Further issues involve; the type of contract adopted the main obligations the architect assumes in terms of contract and the remedies available to the client in case the architect …

Secure Digital Contact Tracing Methods Are Necessary For Slowing Down Covid-19, Rania Ansari

Pop Culture Intersections

This article covers the fears of digital contact tracing during the current pandemic. Citizens do have the right to be understandably uncertain about trusting the government because of past instances such as security breaches ranging from NSA security leaks to personal voter data exposure. The information provided in this paper should, additionally, make it easier for those who are worried about contact tracing and their rights to understand what is implied by the phrases “digital contact tracing” and “data privacy.” The novel coronavirus pandemic calls for urgent, necessary, and effective safety methods, including data analytics, surveillance, and Artificial Intelligence that …

An Outline Of The Roles Of The Principle Participants In The ‘Traditional’ Construction Procurement Process, Tony Cunningham

Other Resources

The construction industry is a complex and fragmented industry comprised of a wide range of participants. This study examines the roles of principle participants in the process, and focusses on the role of the client, the contracting organisation, the architect and design and management professionals including the quantity surveyor. Other parties who are indirectly involved in the industry including the regulatory authorities, the wider property sector and end users are commented upon, but are not examined in great detail. The study has identified that effective teamwork is crucial to successfully achieving the goals of delivering the project safely, to the …

Public Participation In Disaster Mitigation In Cambria, Ca, Erin Lucett

Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Management Projects

Communities throughout the Western United States are threatened by wildfires. Due to years of fire suppression these fires can be more severe and devastating to communities. To reduce the negative effects from wildfires, many communities engage in disaster mitigation. An example of a community that faces significant wildfire threat and is using disaster mitigation techniques is Cambria, Ca. This study investigates the treatments (chipping, limbing, invasive species removal, and prescribed fire) that would be accepted in the community of Cambria as well as identifying common areas of management priorities among Cambrians. We found that there was a general support for …

Self-Regulation And Emotional Reactivity In Infants With Prenatal Exposure To Opioids And Alcohol, Kathryn G Beauchamp, Jean Lowe, Ronald M Schrader, Shikhar Shrestha, Crystal Aragón, Natalia Moss, Julia M Stephen, Ludmila N Bakhireva

Pediatrics Research and Scholarship

BACKGROUND: Infants with prenatal substance exposure are at increased risk for developmental problems, with self-regulatory challenges being some of the most pronounced. The current study aimed to investigate the extent to which prenatal substance exposure (alcohol, opioids) impacts infant self-regulation during a relational stressor and the association between self-regulation and infant affect.

METHODS: Participants were 100 mother-child dyads recruited prenatally (Mean = 23.8 gestational weeks) and completed the Still Face Paradigm (SFP) when infants were 5 to 8 months of age (Mean = 6.9 months) as part of an ENRICH prospective birth cohort study. Based on prospective repeated assessment of …

Virality, Algorithms, And Illiberal Attacks On The Press: Legitimation Strategies For A New World, Ronald N. Jacobs

Sociology Faculty Scholarship

Historically, professional journalism has justified its importance through a series of binary oppositions that privileged objectivity over opinion, news over entertainment, impartiality over partisanship, and public interest over profit. Over the last half century these distinctions have become increasingly destabilized, and the press finds itself under attack from a number of different directions. This article examines the social forces that have combined to challenge press authority: (1) the changing ownership structure and revenue model for news organizations, (2) the shifting dynamics of media influence made possible by convergence culture and algorithmic culture, and (3) the attacks on expertise made possible …

Bridge Infrastructure Asset Management System: Comparative Computational Machine Learning Approach For Evaluating And Predicting Deck Deterioration Conditions, Rayan Assaad, Islam H. El-Adaway

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Bridge infrastructure asset management system is a prevailing approach toward having an effective and efficient procedure for monitoring bridges through their different development phases including construction, operation, and maintenance. Damage to any structural component of a bridge will negatively affect its safety, integrity, and longevity. Bridge decks are more susceptible to severe deterioration because they are exposed to harsh conditions including heavy traffic, varying temperatures, road salts, and abrasive forces. The ability to forecast the conditions of bridges in an accurate way has been a great challenge to transportation agencies. Many previous research studies highlighted the need to have a …

Optical Properties Using Adaptive Selection Of Nir/Swir Reflectance Correction And Quasi-Analytic Algorithms For The Modis-Aqua In Estuarine-Ocean Continuum: Application To The Northern Gulf Of Mexico, Ishan D. Joshi, Eurico J. D'Sa

Faculty Publications

An adaptive selection of the near/shortwave infrared (NIR/SWIR) reflectance correction and the quasi-analytic algorithms (QAAs) is proposed for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS-Aqua) to utilize the strengths of different correction algorithms and QAAs in a single satellite scene with water types ranging from turbid coastal to clear open ocean waters. A blended satellite product is generated by merging three atmospheric-correction algorithms(AD-ATCOR): 1) iterative NIR correction; 2) management unit of the north sea mathematical models (MUMM); and 3) SWIR, using a spectral threshold-based selection for different water types. The validation analysis of a blended remote sensing reflectance product showed overall …
