The House Of Ai: Intellectual Property Law As It Relates To Generative Ai And Fashion, Abhilasha Praveen

Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee

Over the past decade, artificial intelligence has permeated nearly every aspect of society, yet American legislation in this field remains largely archaic. The absence of specific legislation governing generative AI in the United States has led to numerous intellectual property (IP) and copyright disputes, infringing on both creator’s rights and discouraging innovation. Given the rapid evolution of generative AI in society, comprehensive legislative action is necessary to establish clear guidelines balancing intellectual property rights with the need for innovation through technological advancement. While this issue spans multiple industries, this article focuses on fashion, examining how AI regulation can foster innovation …

Interactive Visual Disambiguation For Natural Language Database Queries, Timo Hoyer

Defensive Publications Series

Systems that translate natural language to database queries may encounter challenges with ambiguous terms, for example, 'high-value' or 'recent'. A system for interactive visual disambiguation can visually identify and highlight uncertain terms within a user’s natural language input. A user can interact with a highlighted term to generate a manipulatable graphical tether that connects the term to an interactive logic card. This card may provide controls, such as sliders, for refining the definition of the term. As a user adjusts a definition, a data projection engine can update a data preview in near real-time to illustrate the potential impact of …

Genetic Architecture Of The Murine Red Blood Cell Proteome Reveals Central Role Of Hemoglobin Beta Cysteine 93 In Maintaining Redox Balance., Gregory R Keele, Monika Dzieciatkowska, Ariel M Hay, Matthew Vincent, Callan O'Connor, Daniel Stephenson, Julie A Reisz, Travis Nemkov, Kirk C Hansen, Grier P Page, James C Zimring, Gary Churchill, Angelo D'Alessandro

Faculty Research 2026

Red blood cells (RBCs) transport oxygen but accumulate oxidative damage over time, reducing function in vivo and during storage, critical for transfusions. To explore the genetics of RBC resilience, we profiled proteins, metabolites, and lipids from fresh and stored RBCs from 350 genetically diverse mice. Our analysis identified over 6,000 quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Compared to other tissues, the prevalence of trans genetic effects over cis ones reflects the absence of de novo protein synthesis in anucleated RBCs. QTL hotspots at Hbb, Hba, Mon1a, and (storage-specific) Steap3 linked ferroptosis to hemolysis. Proteasome QTLs clustered at multiple loci, underscoring the importance …

Optimizing Healthcare Utilization: Distinguishing Between Emergency and Urgent Care

Over the past two months, our group of six nursing students worked with a local transitional housing program for families. Per the facility report, a large portion of the program’s current residents are immigrants and have had little to no exposure to the American healthcare system and their options for care. The issue we targeted for our project is the increased number of 911 calls and emergency room (ER) visits for non-emergent healthcare concerns by our target population. By creating education materials on self-triaging, ER vs. Urgent Care services, and how …

Generative Ai/Machine Learning In The Screen Production Classroom And The Implications For Tertiary Educators., James Thompson, Kereen Ely-Harper, Tom Young, Rachel Wilson, Nico Meissner

Staff Scholarship - Australia & Dubai

This report explores how screen production educators in the ASPERA community are responding to the rapid integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI) in teaching and learning. Framed by Sean Cubitt’s (2020) notion of Common Intelligence, we investigate two guiding questions: How are students engaging with genAI tools in their productions, and what are the implications for educators? Methodologically, we engaged in qualitative professional dialogue with screen practice educators through three mechanisms during the 2024 ASPERA Conference: lightning provocations, an anonymous Mentimeter survey, and a facilitated roundtable discussion. These activities provided a collaborative forum for educators to share practice-based insights, reflect …

Perspectives Of Anatomy Education Among Osteopathic Medical Students: A Cross-Sectional Survey, Robert J. Heins, Matthew Mindrup, Justine Hemaya, Sara S. Sloan

Student Publications

Background

Anatomy education is a foundational component of osteopathic medical training and contributes to clinical development. While prior studies have examined objective outcomes of anatomy curricular change, osteopathic medical students’ perceptions of anatomy education, including perceived retention, licensure preparedness, and influence on career interests, remain incompletely characterized.

Methods

A 30-question electronic survey was distributed to second-, third-, and fourth-year osteopathic medical students in the United States between October 2024 and March 2025. Survey domains included didactic and laboratory anatomy instruction, perceived retention of anatomical knowledge, perceived preparedness for the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) Level 1 and the United …

Everyone Works On The Sustainability Team: Power Structures And Brand Communication In Sustainable Consumption, Sofia Johansson

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In response to growing concerns about the way in which consumption practices negatively degrade the environment and contribute to climate change, this thesis explores the role in which brands may counteract this. There are two significant issues pertaining to environmental marketing: (1) current efforts to promote green consumerism, through which consumer brands market products as “eco-friendly” with only marginal reductions in climate impact and misleading labels, are insufficient in mitigating climate change. (2) Additionally, this kind of consumption is unjust, whereby it is marked up in price, limiting access to merely individuals in higher income brackets. Given the insufficiencies of …

Lost & Found: The Postmodernism Of Japan's "Lost Decades" In Kamen Rider Decade, Andrew K. Barrow

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

As a franchise, Kamen Rider is underrepresented in anglophonic scholarship despite its potential to relate postmodern texts, nostalgia, and history. In making these relations, Decade in particular challenges postmodern critiques that were prevalent in its time and during the time of the material it references, from 2000 to 2008. Scholars critical of postmodernism such as Fredric Jameson and Hiroki Azuma situate themselves as such because of postmodernism’s perceived detachment from history and lack of depth, creating a cultural logic of artworks that pales in comparison to older logics and eras. By teaching himself and another Kamen Rider morals and lessons …

Impact Of Statin Medication Use On Glycemic Control And Complications In Type 1 Diabetes, Ryan Bailey

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Introduction: Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA enzyme inhibitors (statins) are frequently used to prevent cardiovascular events in individuals at high risk for cardiovascular diseases, including individuals with diabetes. Prior research has indicated that statins may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and may increase hyperglycemia among those previously diagnosed with T2D. To date, little research has investigated the impact of statins on glycemic control and diabetic complications associated with poor glycemic control in those with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the association between statin use and measures of glycemic control including hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), …

Primordial Recognition And The Structure Of Human Cognition: Toward A Quranic Epistemology, Jana El-Boustani

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This thesis reconstructs a Qur’anic epistemological architecture grounded in narrative rather than abstract system-building. It argues that the Qur’an articulates a unified account of human cognition in which intelligibility is grounded in divine instruction, recognition is affirmed through primordial testimony, and knowledge is exercised within finite yet accountable faculties.

Through close analysis of the story of Adam in Surat al-Baqarah, the primordial covenant in Surat al-Aʿrāf, and the verse of the Amanah in Surat al-Aḥzāb, the study demonstrates that the Qur’an presents human knowing as structured, oriented, and morally conditioned. Revelation functions not as the introduction of wholly new knowledge, …

Many heterotroph species perish when faced with severe food limitation; others can persist, adapt, and thrive. Sea urchins are emblematic of this paradox: they can overgraze kelp forests to form barren habitats, but can then survive for decades in these nutritionally depauperate seascapes. Understanding the mechanisms enabling persistence under starvation and rapid recovery when food returns provides insights into how consumer resilience shapes ecosystem dynamics. We quantified how food abundance, quality, deprivation, and reintroduction influence bioenergetic performance in the red sea urchin (Mesocentrotus franciscanus), integrating field observations of kelp forest and barren populations with a controlled feeding experiment. We measured …

Ocean Observing System Design: Transatlantic Acoustic Propagation For Acoustic Thermometry, Brian D. Dushaw, Dimitris Menemenlis, John A. Colosi

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Ocean acoustic thermometry is simulated in the North Atlantic using two global ocean state estimates to assess its potential contributions to the Global Ocean Observing System. Acoustic data were simulated for transatlantic acoustic propagation from Cabo Verde to Bermuda, a 4183-km archetypal path across the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Acoustic scattering by internal waves was simulated using a range-dependent, stochastic model added to the ocean state estimates. While the Ridge blocks acoustic propagation traveling deeper than about 3000 m, and internal-wave sound speed scintillations cause prohibitive scattering of later-arriving rays, it is apparent that O(10) acoustic ray arrivals on this path are …

Wnt/Β -Catenin Signalling Shapes Macrophage Behaviour During Injury And Repair In The Mouse Submandibular Gland, Araz Ahmed, Suveer Sachdeva, Simon Whawell, Isabelle Miletich

Peninsula Dental School

Xerostomia, the subjective sensation of dry mouth, is a debilitating consequence of head and neck radiotherapy and autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren’s syndrome. It severely impairs oral health and quality of life by promoting mucosal ulceration, infection, malnutrition, and speech difficulties, yet effective regenerative treatments remain limited. Macrophages have recently emerged as critical regulators of salivary gland repair through their roles in coordinating inflammation, fibrosis, and epithelial regeneration; however, the molecular mechanisms governing macrophage activation and function in the injured salivary gland remain poorly defined. The Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway is a key regulator of inflammation and tissue homeostasis across multiple …

Molecular Insights Into The Regulation Of Gnptαβ By Lyset, Xi Yang, Balraj Doray, Danielle Henn, Varsha Venkatarangan, Benjamin C Jennings, Zhongzheng Dong, Jiaxuan Liang, Weichao Zhang, Bokai Zhang, Linchen Yu, Liang Chen, Stuart Kornfeld, Ming Li

2020-Current year OA Pubs

In vertebrates, newly synthesized lysosomal enzymes traffic to lysosomes through the mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) pathway. The Golgi membrane protein LYSET was recently discovered to regulate lysosome biogenesis by controlling the level of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase (GNPT). However, its working mechanism remained unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that LYSET is a two-transmembrane protein essential for GNPT stability, cleavage by Site-1 Protease (S1P), and enzymatic activity. We reconcile conflicting models by showing that LYSET enhances GNPT cleavage and prevents its mislocalization to lysosomes for degradation. We further establish that LYSET achieves this by interacting with GOLPH3 and retromer complexes to anchor the LYSET-GNPT complex …

Nlp Bias And African American English, Kenya Roy, Faizan Javed

SMU Data Science Review

African American English (AAE), also referred to as African American Vernacular English (AAVE), is widely used on social media, but most sentiment analysis tools are trained only on Standard American English (SAE). This mismatch can cause models to misclassify dialectal expressions—especially by labeling neutral or positive AAE as negative or toxic. These errors matter, since Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems are now central to content moderation and brand monitoring. This research will evaluate the VADER, RoBERTa, GPT-OSS, and Gemma’s handling of AAE in comparison to SAE using the TwitterAAE corpus, a public dataset of tweets with estimated AAVE usage. The …

Antibiotic Resistance For Diarrheagenic Escherichia Coli Isolated From Under 5 Years’ Age Patients In Al-Diwaniyah City, Azhar Ali, Manal M. Kadhim

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

            Background: Escherichia coli, a common bacterium, is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, making diarrhea treatment difficult. This is especially concerning for multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains. These "superbugs" can resist multiple antibiotics and spread easily among bacteria.Traditional treatments like ampicillin and tetracycline are becoming less effective. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends fluoroquinolones, macrolides, and rifaximin for some cases, but these have limitations.             Aim of the study The present study aims to explore the antimicrobial resistance of diarrheagenic E. coli pathotypes to determinate the antibiotics resistance pattern.            Methodology Twelve isolates of diarrheagenic E. coli isolated …

Gene And Alleles Of Tyk2 (Rs11085727) And Tyk2 (Rs34536443) Polymorphisms In Covid-19 Patients Using Arms-Pcr., Thuraya Habeeb, Adnan Aubaid

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

The clinical presentation of COVID-19 varies greatly from case to another, with host characteristics playing a pivotal role. The immune system is a pivotal function in establishing the course of SARS-COV-2 infection. Severe instances of COVID-19 and the resulting death are caused less by the virus itself than by the destructive unrestrained immune response. Among the host determinants for poor disease prognosis is probably genetic vulnerability to dysregulated immune response. The objective of this work is to examine some of the host genetic variables that are being studied in relation to the severity of COVID-19. The complex relationship between autoimmunity …
