This study employs a comparative legal analysis method to examine regulations, policies, and the effectiveness of law enforcement in combating corruption within the construction sector in both countries. The primary focus of this study is a comparison of applicable anti-corruption laws and the roles of law enforcement agencies, such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in Indonesia and the Central Commission for …

Observed Mandibular Advancement In Mild And Moderate Osa: A Retrospective Study, Celina Kim

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Mandibular advancement devices (MAD) are an evidence-based alternative for adults with obstructive sleep apnea, but the amount of mandibular advancement associated with objective response is unstudied.

To evaluate the amount of mandibular advancement that leads to reduced AHI in patients with mild (n=41) and moderate (n=20) sleep disordered breathing (SDB).

The retrospective analytic sample of 61 adults with baseline apnea-hypopnea index between 5 and 30 events per hour we divided into mild and moderate SDB groups. Titrated mandibular advancement was performed until: 1) 50% baseline AHI and 2) AHI was below 10. Paired tests evaluated change in apnea-hypopnea index. Fisher's …

Medical Liability In The Age Of Ai-Driven Healthcare: Ethical Challenges And Legal Framework Recommendations, Rani Tiyas Budiyanti, Roro Isyawati Permata Ganggi, Penggalih Mahardika Herlambang

The Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is progressing rapidly and is applied to various aspects of medical practice, including diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient care. However, the integration of AI in healthcare raises complex legal and ethical issues, particularly regarding medical liability. The growing development of AI technology is blurring the concepts of responsibility and accountability in medical practice. Furthermore, with AI systems becoming increasingly autonomous in their decision-making processes, it becomes increasingly difficult to determine responsibility in cases of medical errors or actions that harm patients. In view of this situation this article argues that it is …

Karhunen-Loève Modes For Coherent Arrays, Jack E. Mccrae, Santasri R. Bose-Pillai, Steven T. Fiorino

Faculty Publications

The optimal modes for correcting atmospheric turbulence on coherent arrays are determined. These Karhunen-Loève modes are eigenvectors of a covariance matrix. Creating this covariance matrix requires knowledge of the power spectrum of the turbulence, the aperture geometry, and a basis set for the matrix. The Kolmogorov power law is ordinarily chosen here for the turbulence spectrum. By choosing the phase on each array subaperture element minus the phase averaged over all subapertures as this basis, infinite values in the variances and covariances can be avoided. The piston mode of the whole array, which would otherwise also be infinite, is thus …

The Relationship Between Adverse Childhood Experiences, Protective And Compensatory Experiences, And Parenting Attitudes Among Fathers, Kylie Schmidt

Dissertations

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are defined as potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood particularly between the ages of 0 and 17 years that negatively influence long-term health, relational functioning, and parenting practices (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2026; Felitti et al., 1998; Merrick et al., 2019). Conversely, protective and compensatory experiences (PACEs) have emerged as protective factors that foster resilience and possibly buffer against the adverse outcomes of ACEs (Narayan et al., 2018). As the existing research has greatly focused on mothers, little is known about how men’s early life experiences shape their parenting attitudes, particularly during the …

Dissertations

This study examined the relationship between perceived social support and academic self-efficacy, or academic confidence, among Black doctoral students in psychology programs at predominantly White institutions (PWIs). Grounded in self-efficacy theory, the study was designed to explore whether perceived social support was associated with and predictive of students’ academic confidence. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was used, and data were collected using adapted versions of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the Academic Self-Efficacy (ASE) scale. The sample consisted of 60 Black doctoral students enrolled in psychology programs at PWIs across the United States. Descriptive statistics indicated the …

Offline And Thriving: Understanding The Professional And Personal Lives Of Non-Social Media Users In A Digitally Dominant Era, Bhargava Mantena

Dissertations

Existing research has treated voluntary social media abstinence as the absence of users rather than as a condition worth study. This mixed-methods study examined its psychological and occupational correlates. Adults aged 21 to 65 reporting abstinence from all major platforms for six months or more completed three validated instruments measuring mental well-being, work engagement, and perceived social isolation; a purposive subsample of 12 took part in semi-structured interviews. The analysis set comprised 120 participants, below the 128 indicated by the a priori power analysis. Research Question 1 could not be tested as approved, because no active-user comparison group was recruited; …

Vascular Burden Attenuates The Tdp-43-Tmem106b Pathological Relationship In Neurodegenerative Disease With And Without Alzheimer Disease Neuropathological Change, Matthew B. Dopler, Cole Corbett, Angelique D. Gonzalez, Ali Ghaseminejad-Bandpey, Mallory Keating, Kyra M. Clarke, Oluwaseun B. Ogunbona, Gladys Maestre, Sudha Seshadri, Shahroo Etemadmoghadam, Margaret E. Flanagan

School of Medicine Publications

TMEM106B, a lysosomal transmembrane protein, is a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer disease (ad) and TDP-43 proteinopathies. TMEM106B pathology occurs in normal aging and is increased in TDP-43 proteinopathy but its role in dementia remains unclear. Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is a driver and co-pathology of dementia, yet its contribution to TMEM106B accumulation in the context of TDP-43 and ad neuropathological changes (ADNC) has not been explored. We analyzed post-mortem human hippocampal sections spanning not-, low-, intermediate-, and high-ADNC. In secondary analyses, cases ≥65 years were stratified by TDP-43 immunopositivity and CVD severity; cases < 65 years were included to contextualize age-associated effects. TMEM106B immunoreactivity was quantified using digital pathology. Linear regression models demonstrated that age and sex (higher in females) were independent predictors of TMEM106B immunopositivity whereas Braak stage, CERAD-NP score, and Thal phase were not. The positive TDP-43-TMEM106B association was attenuated with increased CVD pathology severity, suggesting that vascular burden modifies this relationship. Sensitivity analyses restricted to LATE-NC attenuated several associations, indicating that pooled TDP-43 findings should be interpreted cautiously given possible disease heterogeneity. TMEM106B immunoreactivity was most strongly associated with age and sex, while vascular burden, rather than ADNC level, modified its relationship with TDP-43 proteinopathy.

Noncoding Rna Transcripts Based Molecular Phenotyping Of Masld And Mash Patients, Frida M. Delgadillo, Karla Perez, Barbara Yang, Subramanian Dhandayuthapani, Murali Yallapu, Subhash C. Chauhan, Enrique I. Ramos, Shrikanth S. Gadad

School of Medicine Publications

Background and aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a progressive hepatic metabolic disorder characterized by excessive fat accumulation in hepatocytes. MASLD can advance to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). These conditions often lead to hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) if not timely diagnosed and managed; thus, molecular phenotyping of MASLD and MASH conditions is highly desirable. The analyses were performed to identify distinct, differentially expressed genes, particularly noncoding ones, in MASLD and MASH patient samples, thereby expanding diagnostic and therapeutic options.

Methods: We extracted the data from a recent transcriptomic study by Govaere et al. on MASLD …

School of Medicine Publications

Introduction: Midlife cardiovascular burden contributes to cognitive decline and dementia. However, research in diverse populations remains scarce.

Methods: We included 402 San Antonio Heart Study participants (1979–1988; midlife mean age 57.9 ± 3.8, 58.5% women, 52% Mexican American) later enrolled in the San Antonio Longitudinal Study of Aging (1992–2004). Midlife cardiovascular health was assessed using Life's Simple 7. Cognition was measured up to four times with the Mini-Mental State Examination. Generalized estimating equation models adjusted for age, sex, income, and education were used to relate cardiovascular factors to cognitive change. Sensitivity analyses evaluated attrition bias.

Results: Physical activity was associated …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

This study aimed to improve intracortical microelectrode array implantation sites for grasp-related motor decoding by integrating anatomical, functional, and vascular imaging with preoperative 3D modeling. A participant with C5 tetraplegia underwent anatomical MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging, and task-based fMRI to identify grasp-related cortical regions while avoiding vasculature and speech-critical areas. Quicktome software was used to refine target selection by integrating structural connectivity and functional activation data. A 3D-printed skull and cortical model enabled preoperative planning, including craniotomy and electrode positioning simulations. Electrode placement was validated postoperatively using neural data collected from the implanted arrays during attempted movements of the arm and …

Evaluating Reciprocal Peer Learning In Nursing Clinical Simulation, Amanda C. Graf, Carol Crevacore, Fleur Morine, Jennifer Jennings, Olivia Gallagher

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Background: Reciprocal peer learning (RPL) emphasizes collaborative learning through social interaction, with students acting as both learners and teachers. This pilot study evaluated an RPL program in clinical simulation within a nursing curriculum.

Methods: A mixed-methods design used questionnaires to assess peer-learning experiences and peer-teaching roles, alongside qualitative interviews. Data were analyzed using multiple methods.

Results: Seventeen students participated. Students lacked confidence as peer instructors and found corrective feedback challenging, however, they valued peer observation, felt less anxious when taught by peers, and reported greater engagement and practice opportunities.

Conclusion: RPL benefited learning, but structured peer-feedback training is needed.

Never Say Never: The Interdependence Of No-Till And Strategic Deep Tillage In Sustainable Production Systems, Therese Mcbeath, Stephen Davies, John A. Kirkegaard

Grain and Other Field Crops Research Articles

No-till (NT) farming systems are a defining feature of modern conservation agriculture (CA), providing benefits for soil and water conservation, operational efficiency, and resource use efficiency. However, long-term NT adoption across Australian dryland cropping systems has also intensified inherent and emergent soil constraints, including subsurface compaction, topsoil water repellence, acidity, and nutrient stratification. These constraints limit crop water use and yield potential. In the sandy soils of southern and western Australia, strategic deep tillage (SDT) has been developed in otherwise NT systems to alleviate these constraints. Advances in machinery design and controlled traffic systems have enabled deeper, more effective amelioration …

Internal Verdicts Track Evidence: A Template-Controlled Neutrosophic Reading Of Epistemic States In Large Language Models Via The Jacobian Lens, Maikel Yelandi Leyva Vazquez, Alexis Matheu Perez, Florentin Smarandache

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

For twenty-five years, neutrosophic logic has assigned independent degrees of truth (T), indeterminacy (I), and falsity (F) to model epistemic states that classical and fuzzy semantics cannot express. All previous applications, however, measured these components on outputs: answers, judgments, expert evaluations. This paper reports, to our knowledge, the first neutrosophic reading of components inside the internal representations of a large language model. Using the recently released Jacobian lens on Qwen3.5-4B, we project intermediate-layer readouts onto lexicons of support, refutation, and hedging, obtaining layer-wise (T, I, F) profiles under three epistemic conditions (conflicting evidence, first-person false belief, factual control; n = …

Integration Of Lipidomic And Polygenic Risk Scores Within Contemporary Clinical Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Pathways: A Multi-Cohort Development And Validation Study, Aleksandar Dakic, Jingqin Wu, Tingting Wang, Thomas G. Meikle, Kevin Huynh, Changyu Yi, Habtamu B. Beyene, Agus Salim, Michelle Cinel, Nat Mellett, John Blangero

Human Genetics Publications

Background: Guideline-recommended clinical risk scores such as AusCVDRisk underestimate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in a substantial proportion of individuals who later experience events, with up to 65% initially classified as low or intermediate risk. This limitation is most consequential in the intermediate-risk group, where treatment decisions are uncertain and additional risk refinement could alter management. Circulating lipid species and inherited genetic variation capture complementary molecular aspects of atherosclerotic risk that are not fully reflected by conventional clinical variables, but are not routinely incorporated into primary-care risk assessment. We investigated whether selective integration of lipidomic and genomic risk signals into AusCVDRisk …

Prevalence And Availability Of Specialty Dental Care Sites For Children Covered By Medicaid And Chip In The United States, Jonmichael Cope, Aaron David, Chase Otto, Inder Sehgal

Student Publications

Introduction: Access to dental care is a critical aspect of children's healthcare. For these reasons, Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), administered by states, cover medically necessary services. Specialty providers can enroll and participate in state or state-contracted plans, but availability varies widely. Our research objective was to evaluate the availability of non-general dentist specialists in endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics/dentofacial orthopedics on the InsureKidsNow website for Medicaid/CHIP enrollees, on a state-by-state basis, and to compare these with pediatric dental availability.

Methods: This is an observational, cross-sectional descriptive study. InsureKidsNow.gov was searched to identify and compare available and …

Typed Abstention For Llm-Elicited Fuzzy Criteria In Multicriteria Transportation Decisions, Maikel Yelandi Leyva-Vazquez, Nezir Aydin

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Fuzzy multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) increasingly draws its criterion evaluations from large language models (LLMs), but the aggregation step typically treats these elicited judgments as interchangeable with expert opinion, with no mechanism to flag disagreement, insufficiency, or unreliable sources. We port a source-preserving, typed-abstention decision policy into fuzzy-MCDM pipelines, instantiated on a four-alternative sustainable-transportation case, and report two live pilots. Pilot 1 returns all-coherent; Pilot 2, redesigned with criteria of greater normative dependence, shows the gate firing on real disagreement. We report both pilots candidly and verify the gate's logic with synthetic unit tests.

Legal Geographies Of The Public Trust Doctrine, Alida Cantor, John P. Casellas Connors, Elizabeth Carlino

Geography Faculty Publications and Presentations

The Public Trust Doctrine (PTD) is a legal principle that recognizes a duty of the government to hold certain natural resources in trust for public benefit. The doctrine has been extended within the United States to address issues of water, coastal access, wildlife conservation, and climate change. Its implementation is spatially uneven and subjective, however, raising geographic questions around scale, power, and political economy. This article uses a legal geographic approach to understand the PTD. Focusing on water, wildlife, and atmospheric resources, we analyze themes of scale and jurisdiction, property and commons, and legal and environmental subjectivity. We argue that …

We used generalized linear mixed models to compare 7-day readmission between language-serving hospitals-defined as those with a higher proportion of patients with a non-English primary language-and non-language-serving hospitals.

Results. Patients with a non-English primary language were less likely to be readmitted within 7 days at language-serving versus non-language-serving hospitals (4.8% vs 9.8%; adjusted odds …

Longitudinal Patterns Of Fentanyl Utilisation (Medical Versus Illicit Sources) In The United States 2015-2023: A Retrospective Cohort Study, Seungyeon Lee, Wenyu Song, David W Bates, Richard D Urman, Ping Zhang

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: Over the last decade, fentanyl use in the U.S. has experienced a dramatic shift, largely driven by a rise in illicit fentanyl and its role in the opioid overdose crisis. Characterizing individual-level illicit fentanyl exposure poses significant challenges, as such use often occurs outside clinical settings and is not directly captured in clinical data, making it difficult to measure its true scale and impact.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using Epic Cosmos, a large U.S. electronic health record dataset comprising over 300 million patients across inpatient and outpatient settings nationwide (January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2023). …

Bridging The Dermatology Divide: A Literature Review Of Artificial Intelligence–Enabled Point-Of-Care Tools For Skin Cancer Detection In Primary Care, Jared Hensley, Smaran Marupudi, Maria Villegas

School of Medicine Publications

The United States faces a critical dermatology workforce shortage, with more than 60% of counties lacking specialist access. Primary care providers (PCPs) are often tasked with managing suspicious skin lesions but demonstrate lower diagnostic accuracy than dermatologists. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools offer potential solutions, and meta-analytic evidence demonstrates that AI assistance improves PCP sensitivity by 13 percentage points and specificity by 11 percentage points. Yet only 1 Food and Drug Administration–authorized device (January 2024) is cleared for nondermatologist use in the United States. This device achieves 96% sensitivity but only 21% specificity, meaning most positive results are false alarms. A …
