The Effects Of Unilateral Resistance Training In Resistance Trained Women, Jeremiah Amande.' Miller

Master of Science in Kinesiology

Background: Muscle hypertrophy is defined as the increase in size, thickness, and girth of human skeletal muscle and is mostly induced by resistance training (RT). A large body of assessment literature suggests that there are many training methods that can induce muscle hypertrophy, underscoring the importance of training specificity. Training to muscular failure vs non-failure remains a heavily debated topic in the literature and fitness industry, showing mixed results in the published literature. Additionally, there is a lack of literature examining muscle hypertrophy in resistance-trained women using a unilateral approach. Purpose: This paper responds to these challenges by examining failure …

Beyond Algorithm Aversion: How Explanation Quality Enables Fairness And Trust In Ai-Based Performance Evaluations, Darren Mcgraw

Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)

Performance evaluation systems increasingly incorporate artificial intelligence, yet employee acceptance remains limited. This experimental study examined how explanation quality and evaluator type influenced fairness perceptions and trust in AI-based performance evaluations among 275 U.S. working adults. Using a 2 × 2 vignette design, results demonstrated that explanation quality produced large effects on perceived fairness (d = 1.79) and trust, while evaluator type—human versus AI—had negligible independent effects (d = −0.08) when explanations were high quality. Fairness mediated the explanation-trust relationship (indirect effect = 1.95, 95% CI [1.65, 2.26]), with inconsistent mediation indicated by a negative direct effect (b = −0.81, …

This approach allows us to understand their lived experiences, individual strengths, and community …

Beyond Likes And Reposts: Social Media's Role In Warfare, Britney Arteaga

St. Thomas Law Review

Social media has become a double-edged sword in our current digital era, bringing both serious advantages and disadvantages to the forefront of domestic and international discussions. Social media has become a weapon in political, cultural, and even military conflicts due to the spread of unregulated content, despite it enabling people to interact, share information, and voice their opinions. Social media has facilitated the spread of hate speech, propaganda, and false information, which in turn distorts realities and shapes narratives and opinions. Social media's effect on both a domestic and global scale have been catastrophic, ranging from promoting violence to further …

Platforms, Power, And The Public Square: The Debate On Editorial Rights In The Age Of Social Media, Donovan Smith

St. Thomas Law Review

Social media has taken a hold on society and continues to tighten its grip; its influence is undeniable. Today, billions of people all over the world use social media for news, weather updates, communication, commerce, and self-expression every day. With the increasing dependence on social media, it is essential that the civil liberties and fundamental rights of social media users remain protected. Over the last decade, censorship of users and content on social media has become a key political talking point, especially when coupled with concurring events like elections and global pandemics. But is any of this censorship even allowed? …

The Moral Complacency Of Federal Indian Law, Daniel B. Rice

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

For all its association with historical tragedy, federal Indian law remains thoroughly amoral. The field draws little distinction between horrific and laudable traditions. In sharp contrast with the Court's equality doctrines, Indian law continues to rest on explicit structural subordination. Its core precepts treat acts of historical treachery and cultural annihilation as legally generative in the present. This Article identifies Indian law's moral vacuity as an unexplained and unjustified aberration. It urges the Court to speak and theorize about Indian law in a register befitting the subject's moral gravity.

In recent years, Justice Gorsuch has shown that Indian law's moral …

"The Battle Will Not Be Over": 60 Years Of The Voting Rights Act, Annmarie Foy

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

Together, the panels at the Minnesota Law Review’s Vol.110 Symposium highlighted a pivotal moment in the trajectory of voting rights in the United States. As the Supreme Court undermines key provisions of the Federal VRA, and the executive branch exerts its might on restrictive measures, scholars and practitioners alike grapple with the implications for voting rights, election law, and democracy writ large. The Articles and Essays in this Issue document this volatile transformation in the law and offer a call to action to safeguard voting rights in the United States—through the Federal VRA, the Federal Constitution, State VRAs, and state …

Article Iii And The Recess-Appointed Judge, Alexander Gouzoules

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

Roughly three hundred Article III judges have decided cases without life tenure, serving under short-term commissions issued through the Recess Appointments Clause. And yet the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on non-Article III adjudication holds that the Constitution strictly forbids judges without life tenure from exercising the judicial power of the United States.

This Article explores the tension between the nation’s long history of temporary federal judges commissioned through the President’s recess appointment power and the Court’s formalist approach to adjudication by bankruptcy judges, administrative agencies, and other tribunals without lifetime appointments. It uncovers unexamined evidence that early American presidents and judges …

Is Multiracial Democracy Constitutional? Some Reflections From The Eye Of The Storm, Wilfred U. Codrington Iii

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

By summer 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court will have finally decided Louisiana v. Callais, which asks whether the state’s intentional creation of a second majority-minority congressional district as a remedy for racial vote dilution violates the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendment. In plainer language, the impending judgment in the case twice argued before the Court will determine the constitutionality of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA)—and with it, the future of legal doctrine governing the use of race in redistricting. Yet that is not the only issue that the case presents nor, crucially, the most important. This Article …

The Poly Problem In Zoning: Redefining "Family" For A Changing Society, Aric Short, Tanya Pierce

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

Single-family zoning has long dictated not only where people may live but also with whom. Although extensively critiqued for perpetuating racial and economic exclusion, these laws also privilege relationships defined by blood, marriage, or adoption and marginalize nontraditional families. This Article focuses on a particularly overlooked group: polyamorous families who often face legal uncertainty, social exclusion, and housing discrimination due to restrictive zoning definitions of “family.”

As polyamory gains cultural visibility and increasing legal recognition—through West 49th Street, LLC v. O’Neill and municipal reforms in cities like Somerville and Cambridge—now is the time to examine zoning's role in reinforcing outdated …

Neuroaesthetic Frequency Tuning For Neurodivergent Populations: A Network-Informed Theory Of Music For Emotional Memory And Cognitive Regulation, Piper Hutson, James Hutson

Faculty Scholarship

Neuroaesthetic frequency tuning posits that deliberate selection of musical parameters can modulate large-scale neural systems to support emotional memory retrieval and cognitive regulation in neurodivergent populations. Drawing on contemporary evidence from network neuroscience, cognitive musicology, and affective science, the article synthesizes how rhythmic, harmonic, and lyrical structures align with Default Mode (DM), fronto-parietal control, salience, motor, and limbic systems, and how these alignments can be targeted to balance internally oriented mentation with task engagement. The theory further integrates autonomic and cellular mechanisms, describing how tempo and spectral energy shift arousal and heart rate variability, and how astrocytic ensembles contribute to …

Children Past Curfew: Surveillance, Resistance, And Childhood In Philippine Martial Law Children's Literature, Krisna Marie T. Balolong

Children's Literature (MA) Theses

This paper examines how two Philippine children's books depict state surveillance and its effects on a child's perspective of family, authority figures, and childhood. Through analysis of Augie Rivera's Isang Harding Papel and Sandra Nicole Roldan's At the School Gate, this project makes a connection between children's literature and surveillance studies, offering new framework to engage with children’s literature depicting authoritarian regimes and state violence, especially in cases where children were targets of their governments. Each book is examined by their representations of state surveillance during the Martial Law era of the Philippines, as well as each characters’ individual …

Implementing A Change Process To Support Respectful Communication In Newborn Units In Kenya: A Qualitative Study, Mwanamvua Boga, Peris Musitia, Dorothy Oluoch, Dyuti Sen, Hiza Dayo, Ane Haaland, Lisa Hinton, Jacinta Nzinga, Mike English, Sassy Molyneux

Institute for Human Development, East Africa

Background: In contexts of high workloads, resource shortages, and environmental inadequacies, neonatal nurses in many low- and middle-income countries face high levels of stress and burnout, as well as significant communication challenges. Advancing care in these ‘on the edge’ emotionally fraught contexts requires a multi-layered systems approac:, including context-sensitive courses that support respectful communication.

Methods: We share our learning from the implementation of a communication and emotional competence training process in two public hospital newborn units in Kenya. We adapted an existing course in collaboration with newborn unit nurse managers, with the aim of enhancing relationships among staff and …

Is Seeing Still Believing? Comparing Deepfake Regulations In The U.S. And E.U., Sara Weitz

Emory International Law Review

The rapid advancement of deepfake technology has fundamentally altered the trustworthiness of audio and visual media. Deepfakes, synthetic media generated through artificial intelligence, can skew political discourse, manipulate elections, and disproportionately harm women through nonconsensual deepfake pornography. As these issues intensify, the law must provide adequate protections without stifling innovation and infringing on fundamental rights. This requires a careful balancing act.

This comment compares the emerging regulatory frameworks governing deepfakes and artificial intelligence in the United States and European Union. In the United States, constitutional constraints limit federal regulation, resulting in a fragmented patchwork of laws at the state level. …

Implementing A “Naloxone Hub With Many Spokes” Model In Kentucky: Partner Agency Perspectives On Implementation Strategies, Hannah K. Knudsen, Michael Goetz, Shaquita Andrews-Higgins, Sandra Back-Haddix, Olivia A. Davis, Patricia R. Freeman, Douglas R. Oyler, Sharon L. Walsh

Behavioral Science Faculty Publications

Background: Overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) is a vitally important evidence-based practice for addressing the ongoing opioid epidemic. During the HEALing Communities Study in Kentucky, OEND was dramatically scaled up in eight counties using a “hub with many spokes” model and multifaceted implementation strategies. This aim of this manuscript is to describe qualitative perspectives of partner organizations regarding the utility of the implementation strategies used to expand OEND.   Method: Twenty small-group and 24 individual qualitative interviews were conducted with staff from 44 agencies that implemented OEND through partnerships with the study team. Interviews were conducted 6–8 months after the …

What Race Means For Health Among Black Americans: How Microaggressions Shape Self-Efficacy And Readiness For Behavior Change, Amanda Lee Almond

Publications and Research

Objectives: Persistent racial disparities in cardiovascular health among Black Americans reflect not only structural inequities in the United States, but also the racialized meanings of cardiovascular disease reproduced through public and private health communication. Drawing on ecological systems theory, this research examines how beliefs linking race and cardiovascular disease are reinforced through routine clinical interactions and how these meanings shape health behavior change. Method: Across two experimental mixed-methods studies, a model integrating ecological, social–cognitive, and behavior-change frameworks was tested. In Study 1 (N = 374), health-message framing was experimentally manipulated to examine effects on self-efficacy and decisional balance while controlling …

Understanding Space Frontier Areas: Strategy In Cislunar Space And Beyond, Todd W. Pennington

INSS Strategic Perspectives

Space beyond geostationary Earth orbit, particularly cislunar space, is emerging as a strategically significant domain for national security, governance, and long-term competition. This paper introduces the concept of "Space Frontier Areas" to describe regions of space, including xGEO and the Earth–Moon system, where operations remain limited in scale but increasingly consequential. It argues that current strategic thinking about these areas is overly bipolar, framing activities as either near-term security concerns or long-term economic opportunities, thereby constraining nuanced policy choices. To address this limitation, the paper proposes an analytical framework organized around four strategic purposes—prestige, governance, security, and resources—that can be …
