NYMC Student Theses and Dissertations

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a multifaceted problem. The most rapidly increasing modern form of violence is the intertwined epidemic of ‘Technology Facilitated GBV’ [TF GBV] and sexual violence against women and girls. It was critical to investigate the global impact of this epidemic during COVID-19 since a disproportionate impact of violence was observed among women and girls in low and middle-income countries. A retrospective cross-sectional research design was adopted using linear regression analysis (univariate and multivariate) on SDG 5.2, a set of global indicators, to elicit the socioeconomic determinants of GBV.

Does Race Affect Public Evaluations Of Constituent Messages In Local Government Meetings? Results From An Experiment, Bai Linh Hong Aug 2023

Does Race Affect Public Evaluations Of Constituent Messages In Local Government Meetings? Results From An Experiment, Bai Linh Hong

SAGE Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Constituents in the United States have used local public meetings in recent years to shape policy on some of the most high-profile race-related issues. However, public meeting participation remains less studied relative to other modes of participation. This study investigates the extent to which race shapes the way a message is heard and evaluated by the public audience and the degree to which its impact depends on the issue of the message. To carry out the study, I set up a 2 × 3 experiment containing six short treatment videos in which I manipulated the race of the actor/speaker (Black …

Improving Safety In The Emergency Department: Utilizing Metal Detectors To Mitigate Weapon Possession, Jonathan Garcia Aug 2023

Improving Safety In The Emergency Department: Utilizing Metal Detectors To Mitigate Weapon Possession, Jonathan Garcia

MSN Capstone Projects

Today’s high risk-healthcare environment has prioritized patient safety with great initiatives and, unfortunately, placed staff safety second. However, safety for both groups should be equal priorities. Evidence suggests that Emergency Departments (ED) often care for patients with a history of crime and mental health diagnoses, creating an environment where the threat of violence and weapons is increasingly prevalent compared to other clinical settings. (Erlyana, 2019) Risk mitigation is possible if we consider studies by Malka et al. (2015) and Laidlaw et al. (2017) that indicate the efficacy of metal detectors in accurately identifying concealed weapons. To improve clinician and patient …

Sulfur reducing bacteria (SRB) are known to remove metals and sulfur species from mine drainage through the formation of metal sulfide precipitates and have been documented to raise the alkalinity of water. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the environmental conditions in which these microorganisms survive. Environmental samples were collected from a circumneutral and an acidic …


Unfortunate But Ordinary: A Study Of Federal Court Approaches To Stays Of Removal, Talia Joundi Aug 2023

Unfortunate But Ordinary: A Study Of Federal Court Approaches To Stays Of Removal, Talia Joundi

LLM Theses

Interlocutory decisions issued on stay of removal motions by the Federal Court of Canada remain under-studied. A leading reason for the limited research is that stay orders were not published or publicly accessible five years ago. Since then, changes to the Court’s policies regarding publication have increased the number of accessible stay orders. The outcome of a denied stay motion may result in the immediate deportation of a foreign national from Canada. Given the high-stakes nature of these decisions, it is imperative to critically examine stay motion procedures, laws, and trends against established human rights norms. This study presents an …
