Retraining And Control Therapy: Sense Of Control And Catastrophic Symptom Expectations As Targets Of A Cognitive Behavioral Treatment For Pediatric Functional Seizures, Caroline Watson, Badhma Valaiyapathi, Jerzy P Szaflarski, Burel R Goodin, Aaron D Fobian

2020-Current year OA Pubs

UNLABELLED: This manuscript outlines the methodology of a randomized controlled trial (Clinical Registry #: NCT06007053) that aims to assess sense of control and catastrophic symptom expectations as targets of Retraining and Control Therapy (ReACT) a cognitive behavioral treatment for pediatric functional seizures (FS). Participants will complete baseline assessments of treatment targets and other outcome measures. The intervention will consist of either 12 sessions of ReACT or supportive therapy (i.e., unstructured, discussion-oriented therapy). Treatment targets and other outcome measures will be assessed again at one-week post-treatment and two-months post-treatment. The findings of the outlined study will contribute to the growing body …

Stable Isotope Labelling Kinetics Of Neurofilament Light, Claire A Leckey, Tatiana A Giovannucci, John B Coulton, Yingxin He, Chihiro Sato, Nupur Ghoshal, Tharini Vignarajah, Zane Jaunmuktane, Nicolas R Barthélemy, Henrik Zetterberg, Donald L Elbert, Kevin Mills, Selina Wray, Randall J Bateman, Ross W Paterson

2020-Current year OA Pubs

This study provides the first quantification of neurofilament light chain (NfL) kinetics in the human CNS using stable isotope labelling kinetics. NfL is elevated in CSF and blood across a range of traumatic, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases of the CNS, and has been increasingly included in clinical trials as a secondary or exploratory outcome measure of target engagement. Interpreting trajectories of NfL post-treatment has been challenging, prompting a greater need and focus on understanding its pathophysiology. We set out to measure NfL kinetics in the human CNS using stable isotope labelling kinetics. In human neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem …

Effectiveness And Implementation Of A Multi-Faceted Intervention To Facilitate Adoption Of Asthma Self-Management Practices In Peruvian Children And Adolescents: A Hybrid Type 2 Individually Randomized Controlled Trial, Alejandro Zevallos-Morales, Elisa Romani-Huacani, Kevin J Psoter, Oscar Flores-Flores, David Reif, Trishul Siddharthan, Mariona Portell, Maria Teresa Anguera, Lindsay J Underhill, Suzanne L Pollard

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Peru has one of the highest burdens of asthma in the world, as well as large gaps in access to evidence-based treatments. Studies often overlook the ways in which the research context and data collection activities interact and influence the experience of a research participant, their perception of an intervention, and, by extension, study outcomes.

METHODS: We conducted an individually randomized type 2 hybrid-implementation trial to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of a locally adapted, multi-faceted intervention package to improve adherence to self-management practices. We enrolled 110 children with physician-diagnosed asthma living in nine urban districts Lima, Peru, and …

Diaspora Politics And A Rising China: Ambivalent Ties Amid Geopolitical Changes, Jiaqi M. Liu

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

Over the past decade, the rise of China on the global stage has witnessed the emergence of members of the Chinese diaspora as new meso-level actors in mediating Sino-Western relations. As part of China’s burgeoning “public diplomacy” around the globe, Chinese migrants organize cultural events to establish grassroots and semi-official exchanges between China and the West. This chapter provides a state-of-the-art examination of so-called “diasporic public diplomacy” whereby the Chinese diaspora plays an increasingly important role in promoting China’s soft power abroad. Based on long-term fieldwork in a prominent emigrant community, I analyse how Chinese national policies envision two specific …

Ceo Turnover And Shareholder Awareness In Cartel Cases, Catarina Marvão, Giancarlo Spagnolo

Research Outputs: 2025-Present

We examine the consequences of cartel detection for the careers of CEOs in the US and the EU; the characteristics of colluding CEOs (e.g., tenure, age); and shareholders’ awareness of management misbehavior. Additionally, we examine at what level cartel decisions are made according to the available case documents. We find that only 4% of all CEOs in convicted EC cartel firms (1998-2020) are explicitly fired due to collusion, and that 30% of CEOs indicted in DOJ cartels (1985-2011) are fired. Often, CEOs remain in place or take on other high-level positions in the firm. This suggests that (most) shareholders are …

Living In The Hyphen: Creating Puentes Through Encuentros And Pláticas With Latinx Cross-Cultural Kids, Jennifer Jane Daby

Dissertations

Latinx cross-cultural kids, or children of immigrants, are often faced with a feeling of not belonging to mainstream American culture nor their parents’ home culture(s) of origin. As such, they are viewed through a deficit lens and forced to negotiate their sense of identity and belonging through language and culture to fit in. By embracing the concept of educación, using culturally responsive methods of encuentros and pláticas with cross-cultural kids and their families, this study intends to find ways to foster a sense of belonging for this population in schools through participants’ testimonies. It aims to find ways to bridge …

Transcending Boundaries: Integrating Scientific Perspectives In Liberal Arts Education, Zlata Božac

GHEA21 Open Educational Resources

Transcending Boundaries: Integrating Scientific Perspectives in Liberal Arts Education confronts the enduring divide between the sciences and humanities, a split famously critiqued by C.P. Snow in his essay "The Two Cultures". While liberal arts education now includes natural sciences alongside humanities and social sciences, many Core Curriculum courses still fail to resonate with STEM students. These students often find such courses disconnected from their academic interests, perceiving them as irrelevant or lacking transferable skills.

This guide aims to bridge that gap by providing practical strategies and class exercises that integrate scientific thinking into the broader liberal arts framework. Drawing on …

Student Perspectives Of The Value Of General Education In Professional Studies: Investigating A Law School In Bangladesh, Fahim Abid Abid, Mahbuba Kamal, Nisharga Nirjan

GHEA21 Open Educational Resources

Legal education in Bangladesh has undergone changes, but the integration of general education remains limited. Countries leading the global legal arena prioritize general education in their evolving education systems. However, stakeholders in Bangladeshi legal education have not advocated for significant curricular reforms, resulting in the absence of quality graduates. While some universities have implemented general education programmes, the lack of emphasis on student perspectives hinders progress. This research addresses this gap by investigating the value of undergraduate law students at BRAC University (a leading university in Bangladesh) on the general education curriculum. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining a …

Teaching Ai Through Student Research Projects: A Short Guide, Inesa Stolper

GHEA21 Open Educational Resources

This guide is based on practical experience designing and supervising research-based projects on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of social sciences and humanities education. Teaching about AI in these disciplines often presents specific challenges: the fast-changing nature of the field, the difficulty of connecting abstract concepts to real-world implications, and the need to make technical developments accessible without oversimplifying them. Moreover, traditional forms of assessment, such as essays, are being reshaped by the growing use of generative AI.

In this context, short research-based projects offer an engaging and flexible alternative. They encourage students to take ownership of their learning, …

Prairie View: Fighting To Belong, Charles Euchner

GHEA21 Open Educational Resources

What happens when twin revolutions—civil rights and student rights—come together in a community with a deep and abiding history of racism and segregation? What tools can voting-rights advocates use to extend the franchise to all voting-age people in the community? What are the possibilities and limitations of university leadership and student activism in the struggle? This case study explores the pivotal role of Prairie View Agricultural and Mechanical University (PVAMU) in the historic struggles over voter registration, polling places, and other voting-rights issues in Texas. The case is a part of a larger project on student voting rights that focuses …

Including Individuals' Sense Of Self In Digital Information Privacy, Peter N. Meso, Solomon Negash, Humayun Zafar, Gurpreet Dhillon

Faculty Articles

The nature of contemporary digital ecosystems causes concerns that affect the person, the individual-self, an integral part of an individual’s information privacy calculus and hence a component of individuals’ Information Privacy Concerns (IPC). Yet, prior IPC models overlook self-focused concerns. This study articulates two constructs, termed “loss of autonomy” (i.e., autonomy) and “control over profiling” (i.e., profiling), that reflect individuals’ self-focused privacy concerns. Combining these new constructs with conventional IPC constructs that capture data-focused and device-focused concerns yields an IPC model made up of three dimensions: self-focused concerns, data-focused concerns, and device-focused concerns. The authors first develop instrument items for …

The Problem Of Purpose In Corporate Law, Grant M. Hayden, Matthew T. Bodie

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

For the last half century, shareholder primacy has reigned as the dominant definition of corporate purpose, as to both the purpose of individual companies and corporate law more generally. Recently, however, the Business Roundtable, the American Law Institute’s Restatement of the Law: Corporate Governance, and many business and legal academics have developed new answers to explain why we have corporations, and the ends to which their massive economic powers should be directed. This Essay endeavors to reframe the focus of the debate beyond purpose itself into the realm of actual governing power. In order to be meaningful, purpose needs governance. …

Patent Textualism, David O. Taylor

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

The Supreme Court today embraces textualism—the practice of interpreting legal text by reference to how an ordinary person would have understood that text at the time it was promulgated. Yet, when it comes to patent cases at the Court interpreting the statutory provision governing patent eligibility, textualism has rarely been used as an interpretive tool. This Article, besides highlighting this contradiction, will consider how textualism’s application to this foundational aspect of the patent statute would change patent law.

This Article will analyze the Supreme Court’s adoption of textualist principles in other fields and then evaluates the application of textualism to …

The Contractarian Joint Venture, Carla L. Reyes, Christine Hurt

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

In 2015, a group of entrepreneurs pooled their money together for the purpose of investing in other businesses. The entrepreneurs could have undertaken this activity through a traditional venture capital firm, but they wanted to cut out the middle-man, reduce fees, and retain more control over their capital, so they chose to undertake their investing on their own. The group of entrepreneurs chose not to form an entity. Instead, they attempted to limit their business and liability risk by conducting their activity entirely via software. Unfortunately, the software contained a bug, and an insider siphoned off millions of dollars belonging …

Book Review: Biglaw's Race Problem, Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Anthony V. Alfieri

Faculty Scholarship

Ever since the 1970s when BigLaw firms began to hire Black lawyers into their associate ranks, these firms have wrestled with problems in both recruiting and retaining Black associates. During the ensuing decades, BigLaw firms have minimally increased the low numbers of Black attorneys who have become partners, particularly equity partners, within their organizations. Numerous scholars have explored how racial bias and discrimination, both within BigLaw firms and greater society, have contributed to such failures in the recruitment, retention, and promotion of Black lawyers. In his new book The Black Ceiling: How Race Still Matters in the Elite Workplace, …

Copyright Law And Property Law, Keith N. Hylton

Faculty Scholarship

Property is at the core of state law since it is the exclusive power of the individual state governments to define and protect property rights within their jurisdiction. In this paper I will discuss the general connection between copyright and property generally. I will argue that property law sheds important light on copyright law and can help us cut through modern controversies in copyright law. If I am correct in this view, any judge sufficiently familiar with property law doctrines could do better than the Supreme Court of the United States in resolving a new copyright controversy. Specifically, property law …

The Major Questions Doctrine, Post-Chevron?: Skidmore, Loper-Bright, And A Good-Faith Emergency Question Doctrine, Jed Handelsman Shugerman

Faculty Scholarship

When my students and colleagues fretted about Chevron's fate, I have said, "Worry less. Skid-more." Just as old Skidmore "weight" or "respect" returns post-Chevron, the new (and newer) major questions doctrine(s) survive as a reason to give less weight to an agency interpretation. This symposium essay suggests a special role for the post-Chevron major questions doctrine: an Emergency Questions Doctrine. When the executive asserts an emergency power, when the statutory basis is open-ended (often for very good reasons), majorness means less deference to simple and fast textualism, and more time for courts to engage in deeper purposivism to …
