Rethinking Legal Education: Demystifying Neurodiversity And Building An Inclusive Future, Jennifer Kindred Mitchell, Charlie Amiot

The Journal of Law Teaching and Learning

This article contributes significantly to the discourse on legal education by arguing that embracing neurodiversity not only enhances the learning environment for all students but also cultivates a legal profession that is truly reflective of societal diversity. Ultimately, neurodiversity should be embraced as an asset. By adopting inclusive practices, legal education can nurture the promise of ND students and improve outcomes for all. This article seeks to inspire a new paradigm that celebrates neurocognitive diversity’s contributions to the legal profession.

Neurodivergent (ND) students comprise approximately a quarter of the law school population, yet traditional legal education often fails to meet …

Multi-Dimensional Research Appraisal: A Holistic Approach To Evidence-Informed Practice, John Damiao

Translational Science in Occupation

The field of occupational therapy (OT) and healthcare in general have made great strides in enhancing their scientific rigor through study methodologies that prioritize internal validity. However, concerns regarding reproducibility and replicability in research have cast doubt on traditional evidence-based models. This paper critically examines the limitations of an over-reliance on internal validity in evidence reviews and advocates for a multi-dimensional approach to evidence-based practice. By integrating methodological holism, contextual analysis, and a critical appraisal of external validity, this approach provides practitioners with a more nuanced and applicable framework for decision-making. The implications for research credibility and clinical confidence are …

Insecure Attachment Predicts Poor Sexual Communication Among Emerging Adults, Carson T. O'Leary

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

Sexual communication significantly predicts sexual satisfaction within adult romantic relationships (Byers, 2011). Further, research has demonstrated that relationship satisfaction and relationship outcomes are positively influenced by sexual satisfaction (Anderson, 2012). Research regarding interest in promoting long-term romantic relationships should target sexuality-related concerns in romantic partners. Sexuality research grounded in attachment theory has provided promising results. Attachment theory hypothesizes that individuals develop an attachment style based on early life experiences with their caregiver(s). These styles strongly predict how individuals respond to loved ones, including romantic partners (Bell & Ainsworth, 2023). Research also suggests insecurely attached individuals struggle with effective communication in …

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 …

Voxna Festival, 2024 Edition, Sue Flaster

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

For the last 21 years, Sällskapet secretary Stefan Olmårs has managed to produce both outstanding concerts and evenings of warmth and fellowship in the environs of Voxna Church and Herrgård (estate manor) up in the Hälsingland province of Sweden. Harald Henrysson has attended nearly all of them, usually assigned the task of overseeing and narrating the part of the evening dedicated to playing Jussi Björling recordings. This year, the 22nd, was no exception. What was – for me – exceptional this year was the powerful emotional impact of the afternoon of July 8.

The (Non-) Protection Of Indigenous Rights In Isds, Dr. Kevin W. Gray

Pace International Law Review

International investment law largely flows from the protections afforded foreign investors under bilateral and multilateral investment treaties.  Until recently, few of these treaties required investors to comply with human rights provisions in national constitutions or in international law, or preserved the ability of states to regulate to protect constitutional rights.  As a result, critics have argued, investor-state dispute settlement fails to protect human rights or preserve the ability of states to regulate in the public interest, and that arbitral awards rarely consider, let alone give effect to, rules of human rights.

This article considers the question of how Indigenous rights, …

Decoding Chinese Law In U.S. Courts: The Logic Of Extra-Legality, Tian Xie

Pace International Law Review

U.S. courts and regulators often face challenges in interpreting Chinese law, as actual regulatory practices frequently diverge from formal legal provisions. This article argues that a strictly formalist approach that relies solely on legal text is inadequate. Instead, U.S. authorities should adopt an extra-legality framework, which considers how Chinese law functions to reinforce political authority while maintaining a legal façade. The article further illustrates the application of this approach through a case study of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA), which pro- vides a more nuanced and realistic understanding of Chinese regulatory practices surrounding U.S. access to audit work …

Analysing Numeracy Demands In Alberta Curriculum: A Focus On High School Mathematics, Asia Majeed, Kwesi Yaro

Numeracy

In recent years, numeracy has been recognized as a key educational priority across the curriculum in many international jurisdictions, including almost all Canadian provinces. In Alberta province, Canada, for example, the Teaching Quality Standard (TQS) #3 explicitly states that all teachers are responsible for fostering literacy and numeracy skills, regardless of the specific subject areas they teach. This expanded focus reflects a broader understanding of numeracy not merely as a subset of mathematical skills, but as a fundamental competency that supports informed participation in civic, economic, and personal life. This paper applies the 21st Century Numeracy Model (Goos et al., …

Adapting Biometric Data Broadcast Rate Based On Physiological State And Receiver Capabilities, Sudeep Chauhan, Sumukh Shevde

Defensive Publications Series

Static, fixed-rate broadcasting of biometric data from wearable devices can lead to inefficient power consumption, as data transmission frequency may not align with a user's activity level or a receiving equipment's needs. A system is described for adaptively controlling wireless transmission parameters based on real-time conditions. A data-source device, such as a wearable computer (e.g., a smartwatch, fitness tracker, or augmented reality device), can analyze a user's physiological state to classify activity levels, for instance, a steady state or a high-variability state. Concurrently, the device may negotiate capabilities with a data-receiving device, such as exercise equipment (e.g., a treadmill or …

Personalized Environmental Risk Alerting Via Fusion Of Physiological, Environmental, And Contextual Data, Sumukh Shevde, Sudeep Chauhan

Defensive Publications Series

Personal health monitoring devices may detect physiological changes but can lack environmental context to determine a cause, while environmental alert systems may rely on generic, non-personalized data. Systems and methods are described that can algorithmically fuse multiple data streams. These streams can include real-time physiological data from a wearable computing device (e.g., a smart watch, fitness tracker), such as heart rate variability; hyperlocal environmental data, such as air quality or noise levels; and contextual data, such as a user's location and activity level. This fusion of data may be used to compute a personalized risk index. The index may then …

Peer-To-Peer Relay Of Emergency Signals Following Primary Communication Link Failure, Sumukh Shevde, Nazih Almalki

Defensive Publications Series

The reliability of emergency signaling from computing devices (e.g., smartphones, smart watches, or wearable devices) with direct-to-satellite communication can be affected when a primary communication link is unavailable due to factors such as antenna obstruction, environmental shielding, or power constraints. Systems and methods are described that provide a peer-to-peer relay mechanism. For example, upon failure to establish a primary long-range connection, a first device can broadcast an emergency relay request using a low-power, short-range radio. A proximate second device can detect the request and, if it has a viable communication link (e.g., cellular, Wi-Fi, or its own satellite link), it …

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 …
