Surveillance And The Tyrant Test, Andrew Guthrie Ferguson Jan 2021

Surveillance And The Tyrant Test, Andrew Guthrie Ferguson

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

How should society respond to police surveillance technologies? This question has been at the center of national debates around facial recog- nition, predictive policing, and digital tracking technologies. It is a debate that has divided activists, law enforcement officials, and academ- ics and will be a central question for years to come as police surveillance technology grows in scale and scope. Do you trust police to use the tech- nology without regulation? Do you ban surveillance technology as a manifestation of discriminatory carceral power that cannot be reformed? Can you regulate police surveillance with a combination of technocratic rules, policies, …

Results of data analysis indicate that students mostly made their decisions independently, while some were influenced by parents and peers. The most …


Developing A Vector For Expressing Serratiopeptidase In Lactococcus Lactis, Taylor C. Mauzy Jan 2021

Developing A Vector For Expressing Serratiopeptidase In Lactococcus Lactis, Taylor C. Mauzy

EWU Masters Thesis Collection

Chronic inflammation stems from the inability of the body to resolve acute inflammation. Chronic inflammation is a growing health concern, as nearly 60% of Americans reported coping with at least one chronic condition (as of 2014). On a world scale, three fifths of deaths result from a chronic inflammation disease. Treatments for chronic inflammation include lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) and a variety of conventional drugs. Beyond these treatments, supplementing the body with systemic enzymes may attenuate inflammation. One promising enzyme is serratiopeptidase. Serratiopeptidase is a serine protease expressed by Serratia marcescens which has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, anti-edemic, and analgesic activity …

The Italian Model To Fight Covid-19: Regional Cooperation, Regulatory Inflation, And The Cost Of One-Size-Fits-All Lockdown Measures, Fernanda Giorgia Nicola Dr.

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

What has come to be known worldwide as the Italian model to fight COVID-19 was a series of governmental measures undertaken in early 2020 to reduce the contagion of a deadly virus ravaging the northern regions of Italy—especially Lombardy, Veneto, and Piedmont. These measures included quarantine or lockdown throughout the Italian territory, together with the revamping of hospitals, followed by economic recovery packages to address the standstill of the national economy. This Article focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of the Italian model. By highlighting the initial missteps, we can understand how this turned into a productive national and regional …

Identification And Characterisation Of Crustacean Hyperglycaemic Hormone (Chh) From Mediterranean Shore Crab Carcinus Aestuarii, Marsilda Qyli, Valbona Aliko, Riccardo Sgarra, Pi̇ero Giulio Giulianini, Chiara Manfrin

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Crustacean hyperglycaemic hormone (CHH) is a neuropeptide that was originally identified in the X-organ/sinus gland complex of the eyestalks (ESs) in crustaceans. Several CHH isoforms and spliced variants were later identified in other tissues, and their functions have still not been completely unveiled. In this study, the identification and characterisation of the conventional CHH prepropeptide from the ESs of the littoral crab, Carcinus aestuarii, via rapid amplification of cDNA ends was reported. The identified CHH resulted in a coding sequence of 429 bp, an estimatedprotein of 142 aa with a signal peptide of 26 aa, followed by a CHH precursorrelated …

A Contribution To The Biogeography And Taxonomy Of Two Anatolian Mountain Brooknewts, Neurergus Barani And N. Strauchii (Amphibia: Salamandridae) Using Ecologicalniche Modeling, Muammer Kurnaz, Mehmet Kürşat Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The Anatolian newt, Neurergus strauchii, is an endemic Anatolian species. Until recently, N. strauchii was represented by three subspecies. It has been discussed within a recent phylogenetic study in which the subspecies N. s. barani is recommended to be evaluated as a cryptic but distinct species. To address this subject, we aimed to discuss the niche differentiation between N. barani and N. strauchii using geographical and bioclimatic aspects. All georeferenced data of N. barani and N. strauchii were used to estimate the potential distributions of these species in the Anatolian Peninsula. To evaluate their ecological niche differentiation, point-based analysis and …


Natural Animal Food Preference Of Chinese Mole Shrew (Anourosorex Squamipes) From An Urban Area: A Laboratory Study, Yun-Chun Ye, Yi Luo, Zhao-Min Zhou Jan 2021

Natural Animal Food Preference Of Chinese Mole Shrew (Anourosorex Squamipes) From An Urban Area: A Laboratory Study, Yun-Chun Ye, Yi Luo, Zhao-Min Zhou

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Most wild animals are urban avoiders, but some others become adapters or exploiters successfully living in urban areas. Often, the latter is assumed to be attracted into cities by readily accessible and digestive anthropogenic food resources. Here, we quantified food preferences of sixteen (eight females and eight males) Chinese mole shrews (Anourosorex squamipes) captured from an urban area for "cafeteria tests" in laboratory. Shrews were presented with twelve foods allocated into three sets (natural animal, natural plant, and anthropogenic food). Once the most two highly consumed food items from each set were determined, six items were pooled together to form …

Paper Courts And Parental Rights: Balancing Access, Agency, And Due Process, Tianna N. Gibbs Jan 2021

Paper Courts And Parental Rights: Balancing Access, Agency, And Due Process, Tianna N. Gibbs

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Across the country, state legislatures have created out-of-court, form-based processes that replace the adjudicative process in traditional courts. In the family law context, these out-of-court forms allocate fundamental parental rights, principally for unmarried and single parents, who disproportionately have low incomes and are people of color. In most states, instead of presenting their requests to a judge in a courtroom, parents can sign legal forms in a hospital room to establish paternity or at their kitchen table to assign their custodial rights to a third party. When a child is born to an unmarried mother, as 40% of children are, …


Some Studies On Reliability Analysis Of Complex Cyber-Physical Systems, Alex Vicente Davila Frias Jan 2021

Some Studies On Reliability Analysis Of Complex Cyber-Physical Systems, Alex Vicente Davila Frias

Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs), a term coined in 2006 refers to the integration of computation with physical processes. Particularly, modern critical infrastructures are examples of CPSs, like smart electric power grids, intelligent water distribution networks, and intelligent transportation systems. CPSs provide critical services that have great impact in nation’s economy, security, and health. Therefore, reliability is a primary metric. Nevertheless, the study of complex CPSs reliability demands understanding the joint dynamics of physical processes, hardware, software, and networks. In the present research, a series of studies is proposed to contribute to the challenging reliability analysis of CPSs by considering the reliability …

This case study used five different assessments to build a profile …


Peer Acceptance And Motivation As Mediators Of The Relationships Between Students' Social Skills And Academics, Shawn Leslie Carlson Jan 2021

Peer Acceptance And Motivation As Mediators Of The Relationships Between Students' Social Skills And Academics, Shawn Leslie Carlson

Human Development and Family Science

Primary goals of early elementary school are to teach children academic knowledge in reading and math. During this time, children also continue to develop their social skills, which can be learned from interactions with their peers. Several studies have shown a positive relationship between children’s social skills and academic achievement; however, the mechanisms through which this relationship occurs is not well known. Two possible mechanisms are peer acceptance and academic motivation. The current study examines the relationship between social skills and academic competencies over time and tests peer acceptance and academic motivation as sequential mediators of the relationship. Participants were …


Generational Cohorts And Search For B2b Service Providers, John Story Jan 2021

Generational Cohorts And Search For B2b Service Providers, John Story

AMTP Proceedings 2021

This study explores differences in B2B search processes of members of three generational cohorts, Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers. When searching for a business-to-business service provider, Millennials were significantly more likely to use an internet search, but there were no significant differences between Generation X and Baby Boomers. Although more likely to use an internet search than previous generations, Millennials were just as likely to use interpersonal information sources. These results provide insights into differentiating marketing communications to effectively reach members of different generations in business-to-business marketing.

Factors Impacting One’S Self-Classification Into One Of The Five Categories Of A Typology Delineating Green (And Not So Green) Consumers, Sam Fullerton, Tammy Mccullough, Estelle Van Tonder

AMTP Proceedings 2021

A sample of 1,243 adult residents of the United States provided insight into an array of issues germane to sustainability. Upon completing a 65-question survey on sustainability, each respondent placed themselves in an eco-group that they felt best corresponded to their own behavior and attitudes towards the task of keeping the planet green for ourselves, and perhaps more importantly, for our posterity. The five groups ranged from the eco-destroyer to the eco-warrior. Within the survey, each respondent provided their opinions regarding seven multi-item scales that primarily addressed green issues; some scales addressed business behavior while others addressed issues such as …


Mind The Gap: The Effects Of Shopping Medium On Consumer Food Evaluations And Choice, Ashley M. Thomas Jan 2021

Mind The Gap: The Effects Of Shopping Medium On Consumer Food Evaluations And Choice, Ashley M. Thomas

AMTP Proceedings 2021

Mobile grocery shopping is rapidly growing in popularity across the United States. Many retailers are responding by creating their own mobile apps to facilitate this demand. However, it is not yet clear whether consumers’ food evaluations and choices differ when grocery shopping on mobile apps as compared to traditional brick-and-mortar retail store settings. Thus, the purpose of this research is to inform both theory and practice by identifying these potential differences and examining why they may be occurring. Study 1, conducted in a retail behavioral lab, shows that shoppers were able to accurately differentiate between healthy and unhealthy food products …


Choice Architecture And Marketing Pre-Suasion: The Case Of The Motorcycle Industry, Stephen Lemay, Bethany Landis, Dave Mcmahon Jan 2021

Choice Architecture And Marketing Pre-Suasion: The Case Of The Motorcycle Industry, Stephen Lemay, Bethany Landis, Dave Mcmahon

AMTP Proceedings 2021

In this analysis, we examine the motorcycle industry in terms of Cialdini’s concept of Pre- Suasion. We use the chapter titles from the book to explore how these concepts could or should help the motorcycle industry adapt to shifts in its markets, shifts that are both demographic and cultural. In the process, we also explore ideas like product gentrification and choice architecture, ideas at the heart of the motorcycle marketing problem. We conclude that motorcycle promotions and messaging lack traction with younger buyers. We close with an extensive list of questions calling for further research.

Encouraging And Rewarding Customer Loyalty: Key Considerations For Sports Teams, Vassilis Dalakas, Madeleine Tseng, Joanna Melancon

AMTP Proceedings 2021

Sports is an ideal context to study loyalty because sports fans often transcend simple behavioral and affective loyalty and integrate their commitment to a team into their self-identity. Season ticket packages often serve as loyalty rewards programs, offering tiered benefits and perks to consumers in exchange for their level of patronage. This paper offers insights on the impact of various reward types on consumers’ perception of their relationship with a team. Theoretical foundations and insights from sports marketing professionals suggest that those benefits that are exclusive to a team’s season ticket holders and/or premium seat buyers, as well as social …
