Conflict Resolution Procedures Within The Courtroom: Between The Adversarial And Inquisitorial Traditions, Amos Gabrieli, Michal Alberstein

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

Modern courts have evolved around two central legal traditions—the adversarial and the inquisitorial. The two traditions have historically reflected different approaches towards consent and authority or towards conflict resolution and strict application of the law. Yet with the blurring of boundaries between the two legal traditions, and alongside various reforms in adversarial and inquisitorial legal systems, new practices of judicial conflict resolution within the courtroom have developed. This Article will compare the two legal traditions and examine the assimilation of ideologies and procedures typical to conflict resolution processes into the work of judges, as they strive to end civil legal …

Attributing Criminal Responsibility For The Crime Of Aggression, Nikola R. Hajdin

Georgia Journal of International & Comparative Law

To hold a person criminally responsible, the prosecution must prove that his conduct violated (without justification) a prohibitory norm of the criminal code and that he is culpable for such wrongdoing. In international criminal law, wrongfulness and culpability are assessed through the prisms of material (actus reus) and mental (mens rea) elements, respectively. Also called “objective attribution,” ascribing wrongfulness requires a causal link between individual conduct and criminal consequences. Attributing culpability, or “subjective attribution,” on the other hand, consists of establishing mental links between the perpetrator and the occurrence he has caused and the situation in which such an event …

Implementation Of A Community Health Worker (Chw) Training Program To Improve Birth Outcomes, Emiko Maruri, Trinette Radasa, Jo Loomis

DNP Qualifying Manuscripts

Background

Those who have ever been affected by an adverse childhood experience (ACE) have a greater likelihood of having poor birth outcomes. These include low infant birth weight, preterm delivery and can even lead to pregnancy loss.

Problem

Latina women have been identified by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as those most affected by ACEs. The direct relationship is that Latinas therefore have poor birth outcomes.

Context

For this project, The Save the Children organization in partnership with the University of San Francisco Doctorate of Nursing Practice students and Community Health Workers (CHWs) of the Central Valley of California …

The COVID-19 disruption presented unique challenges to recreate language and cultural understanding within international engineering fieldwork experiences in the US. This article outlines the response to the COVID-19 pandemic by the Interdisciplinary Global Programs (IGP) at Northern Arizona University (NAU). The IGP response was an innovative interdisciplinary and cross-institutional collaboration …

Putting The Coronavirus To Work: Developing A Global Engineering Program During A Pandemic, Cynthia S. Chalupa

Journal of International Engineering Education

In the aftermath of COVID-19 shutdowns at campuses across the U.S. in the spring of 2020, student enrollments have fallen and budgets have been severely constrained. To counteract the current and long-term repercussions of the pandemic on institutions of higher education, administrators have called for innovative program development and strategic transformation. In the past, many engineering and world languages departments may have considered the task of creating a collaborative degree program insurmountable or undesirable despite existing models that are successful (e.g. University of Rhode Island’s IEP program). In the era of COVID-19, however, innovative programs combining language with disciplines outside …

Memories Of War: An Oral History Of The United States Army Special Forces Actions In The Gulf War, Justin Mcintosh

History Theses, Dissertations, and Student Creative Activity

This thesis uses memories of former members of 5th Special Forces Group as the lens to explore the impacts and context of US Army Special Forces operations and activities during the Persian Gulf War. The Persian Gulf War was the defeat of the Iraqi military in Kuwait at the hands of a technologically superior United States force. Historians have focused Persian Gulf War scholarship on three key aspects: the interpersonal relationship between the United States military commanders and political leaders, the rapid deployment of military forces to the Middle East, and the use of airpower to strike at enemy centers …

Losartan is an oral antihypertensive agent that is rapidly metabolized to EXP3174 (angiotensin-subtype-1-receptor blocker) and EXP3179 (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma [PPARγ] agonist), which was shown in animal studies to reduce inflammation, enhance mitochondrial energetics, and improve muscle repair and physical performance. We conducted an exploratory pilot study evaluating losartan treatment in prefrail older adults (age 70-90 years, N = 25). Participants were randomized to control (placebo) or treatment (daily oral losartan beginning at 25 mg per day and increasing every 8 weeks) for a total of 6 months. Fatigue, hyperkalemia, and hypotension were the most observed side effects of losartan …

Ancient Great Wall Building Materials Reveal Environmental Changes Associated With Oases In Northwestern China, Robert Patalano, Jing Hu, Qin Leng, Weiguo Liu, Huanye Wang, Patrick Roberts, Michael Storozum, Lin Yang, Hong Yang

Science and Technology Department Faculty Journal Articles

Plant materials used in the construction of segments and beacon towers of the ancient Great Wall in northwestern China contain untapped potential for revealing local paleoclimatic and environmental conditions. For the first time, we characterize the molecular preservation and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope compositions of AMS-dated common reeds (Phragmites) collected from ancient Great Wall fascines in today’s Gansu and Xinjiang using a combination of chromatographic techniques and isotope analyses. Our molecular data, along with Scanning Electron Microscopy, demonstrate excellent preservation of these ancient reeds, which were harvested from nearby habitats during periods of significant expansion of Imperial …

Dedicated Vascular Access Team Benchmark Study, Rachel Davis

MSN Capstone Projects

Hospitals see a rise in the critically ill population. These patients present with multiple comorbidities resulting in frequent emergency department trips. Unfortunately, with each visit, these patients require a vascular access device. Over time their veins will no longer be easily accessible. Patients with veins that are no longer visible, palpable, or require special techniques to obtain access are considered to be difficult intravenous access (DIVA) patients. They will likely experience multiple attempts with each admission to the hospital, resulting in physical and emotional pain, not to mention being costly. The purpose of this paper is to compare the advantages …

Esther Inglis: A Franco-Scottish Jacobean Writer And Her Octonaries Upon The Vanitie And Inconstancie Of The World, Jamie Reid Baxter

Studies in Scottish Literature

This article draws attention to the hitherto ignored poetry of the Franco-Scottish Jacobean calligrapher and limner, Esther Inglis (c.1570 -1624). Inglis is the subject of a fast growing body of published scholarship, but though she left a small body of original prose and verse, she has been given no place in Scottish literature. The article falls into six sections. The substantial first section notes first that to date, there has been a tendency to shy away from dealing with her as a writer, and that Inglis’s formative Scottish background has been largely ignored. The second section looks at Inglis and …

Relationships Between Principles Of Gems Classification In Bhoja’S Yuktikalpataru And Ayurvedic Principles, Aroonwan Kongmebhol

Journal of Letters

According to the lapidary section in Yuktikalpataru ascribed to King Bhoja, some precious stones were classified by manifold principles, suspected to be predominantly based on Ayurvedic concepts. Research is needed to establish whether these classification schemes were truly based on Ayurvedic theory. This research paper examines gem classification as depicted in the Yuktikalpataru and its conformity with Ayurvedic-based schemes of classification. Research data were selected from descriptions of diamond (vajraparīkṣā) and pearl testing (muktāparīkṣā). Results show significant influence on gem classification of some basic principles of Ayurveda: a classification scheme based, with a few exceptions, on …

BACKGROUND: Hyaluronic acid (HA) promotes cancer metastasis; however, the currently approved treatments do not target HA. Metastatic renal carcinoma (mRCC) is an incurable disease. Sorafenib (SF) is a modestly effective antiangiogenic drug for mRCC. Although only endothelial cells express known SF targets, SF is cytotoxic to RCC cells at concentrations higher than the pharmacological-dose (5-µM). Using patient cohorts, mRCC models, and SF combination with 4-methylumbelliferone (MU), we discovered an SF target in RCC cells and targeted it for treatment.

METHODS: We analyzed HA-synthase (HAS1, HAS2, HAS3) expression in RCC cells and clinical (n = 129), TCGA-KIRC (n = 542), and …

Intestinal Iga-Coated Bacteria In Healthy- And Altered-Microbiomes (Dysbiosis) And Predictive Value In Successful Fecal Microbiota Transplantation, Herbert L Dupont, Zhi-Dong Jiang, Ashley S Alexander, Andrew W Dupont, Eric L Brown

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

IgA-coated bacteria in the gut (IgA-biome) provide a homeostatic function in healthy people through inhibition of microbial invaders and by protecting the epithelial monolayer of the gut. The laboratory methods used to detect this group of bacteria require flow cytometry and DNA sequencing (IgA-Seq). With dysbiosis (reduced diversity of the microbiome), the IgA-biome also is impaired. In the presence of enteric infection, oral vaccines, or an intestinal inflammatory disorder, the IgA-biome focuses on the pathogenic bacteria or foreign antigens, while in other chronic diseases associated with dysbiosis, the IgA-biome is reduced in capacity. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), the use of …

Autonomous Decision-Making In Interdependent Computing Systems Based On Artificial Intelligence, Georgios Fragkos

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the notion of autonomy, in terms of acting and thinking based on personal experience and judgment, has paved the way towards an autonomous decision-making future. This future can address the complex domain of the interdependent computing systems, whose main challenge is that they interact with each other with unpredictable and often unstable outcomes. It is crucial to envision and design this AI-driven autonomy for the reciprocal computing systems which cover a variety of use-cases ranging from the Internet of Things (IoT) to cybersecurity. This can be achieved by cloning the human decision-making process, …

Perspectives On Determinism In Quantum Mechanics: Born, Bohm, And The “Quantal Newtonian” Laws, Viraht Sahni

Publications and Research

Quantum mechanics has a deterministic Schrödinger equation for the wave function. The Göttingen–Copenhagen statistical interpretation is based on the Born Rule that interprets the wave function as a “probability amplitude.” A precept of this interpretation is the lack of determinism in quantum mechanics. The Bohm interpretation is that the wave function is a source of a field experienced by the electrons, thereby attributing determinism to quantum theory. In this paper, we present a new perspective on such determinism. The ideas are based on the equations of motion or “Quantal Newtonian” Laws obeyed by each electron. These Laws, derived from …

因子分析和项目反应理论的潜变量估计, David Thissen, Anne Thissen-Roe

Chinese/English Journal of Educational Measurement and Evaluation | 教育测量与评估双语期刊

本文对项目反应理论 (item response theory; IRT) 和因子分析 (factor analysis) 模型潜变量 (latent variable) 得分估计方法的历史发展进行综述，指出两种理论中常用的因子得分估计本质上是相同的，只是计算方法不同而已。不同的程序已经被用于推导因子得分和IRT潜变量的估计，并且产生了不同的计算过程。由于潜变量得分的使用情况不同，IRT和因子分析解决挑战的方案不同。对偏差纠正的需求不同，两种理论体系提出了不同的纠正方法。尽管IRT模型不具有因子分析模型的高斯似然，但采用正态近似方法使得IRT与因子分析模型的得分计算在很多情况下是非常相似的。最后，尽管两种理论因子得分估计问题上是相同的，但因子分析多年一直处于因子得分不确定性 (factor score indeterminacy) 的争议之中，而IRT却没有。这是历史的产物，也是IRT和因子分析文章中模型表达方式不同的结果。此外，IRT不存在不确定性问题的争议，有利于阐明以下立场，即不确定性并不是一个问题。

Latent Variable Estimation In Factor Analysis And Item Response Theory, David Thissen, Anne Thissen-Roe

Chinese/English Journal of Educational Measurement and Evaluation | 教育测量与评估双语期刊

This essay sketches the historical development of latent variable scoring procedures in the item response theory (IRT) and factor analysis literatures, observing that the most commonly used score estimates in both traditions are fundamentally the same; only methods of calculation differ. Different procedures have been used to derive factor score estimates and latent variable estimates in IRT, and different computational procedures have been the result. Due to differences in the context of score usage, challenges have led to different solutions in the IRT and factor analytic traditions. The needs for bias corrections differ, as do the corrections that have been …

Behavioral Health Models To Understand High-Risk Prenatal Patient Adherence To Visit Schedule In Camden, Olivia Nicolais-Julian, Michael Monaghan, Jocelyn Mitchell-Williams Md, Phd

An Eolian Dust Origin For Clastic Fines Of Devono-Mississippian Mudrocks Of The Greater North American Midcontinent, Austin J. Mcglannan, Alicia Bonar, Lily Pfeifer, Sebastian Steinig, Paul Valdes, Steven Adams, David Duarte, Benmadi Milad, Andrew Cullen, Gerilyn S. Soreghan

School of Earth & Environment Departmental Research

Upper Devonian and Lower–Middle Mississippian strata of the North American midcontinent are ubiquitously fine-grained and silt-rich, comprising both so-called shale as well as argillaceous limestone (or calcareous siltstone) that accumulated in the Laurentian epeiric sea. Although long recognized as recording marine deposition, the origin and transport of the fine-grained siliciclastic material in these units remains enigmatic because they do not connect to any proximal deltaic feeder systems. Here, we present new data on grain size, whole-rock geochemistry, mineralogy, and U-Pb detrital-zircon geochronology from units across Oklahoma; we then integrate these data with models of surface wind circulation, refined paleogeographic reconstructions, …
