Child Assent Practices In Research: Improving Ethics, Decision-Making, And Inclusivity, David C. Coker, Ketaki Inamdar, Daniel F. Mccleary, Lesley Cottrell Dec 2025

Child Assent Practices In Research: Improving Ethics, Decision-Making, And Inclusivity, David C. Coker, Ketaki Inamdar, Daniel F. Mccleary, Lesley Cottrell

Journal of Educational Research and Practice

The following article addresses a conundrum: What if child assent in research were a fully informed, stand-alone process that empowered all children to discuss meaningfully, negotiate, and decide how and what the research experience would look like? Past research and practices suggest that child assent, when children (youths to 17-year-olds who have not been emancipated) agree to participate in research before, during, and after parents’ or guardians’ consent, is rife with problems that minimize informed participation and prize procedural ethics over true understanding of the processes and autonomous decision-making. Academic articles often lack details, as length requirements and brevity preclude …

Enhancing Archives And Records Management In Low-Resourced Organizations Through Experiential Learning, Jinfang Niu

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

Master’s students in Archives and Records Management could help low-resourced organizations address their Archives and Records Management needs while gaining practical experience. Archives and Records Management education programs could facilitate this mutually beneficial relationship by offering internships and service-learning courses. This paper analyzes the strengths and limitations of these two experiential learning mechanisms and discusses solutions to overcome the limitations. It argues that service-learning is especially suitable for addressing the Archives and Records Management needs of low-resourced organizations and proposes a service-learning model for that purpose.

Problems Of Faithfulness In The English Translation Of Tayeb Salih’S Masterpiece Season Of Migration To The North: Revisiting Equivalence Theory, Ali Albashir Mohammed Alhaj

UB Journal for Humanities

Consequently, the translator's target is to be faithful to the original wording and maintain the essence of the source language (SL) when he/she conveys a text in the target language (TL). This study was conducted to cast a new light on the cultural problems encountered by Denys Johnson-Davis in his English translation of Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North, specifically in terms of his faithfulness to the ST, and how these can be addressed from various theoretical and practical standpoints about the equivalence …

Ecology Of Subaerial Algae: Photosynthetic Capacity As A Function Of Relative Humidity In A Naturally- Occurring Association, James A. Nienow Dec 2025

Ecology Of Subaerial Algae: Photosynthetic Capacity As A Function Of Relative Humidity In A Naturally- Occurring Association, James A. Nienow

Georgia Journal of Science

Subaerial algae are defined by their ability to grow on surfaces exposed directly to the air. We are currently investigating the nature of the adaptations that allow these unicellular microorganisms to form rich growths in an environment subjected to repeated and prolonged periods without liquid water. It is well known from laboratory studies that at least some members of the group are able to sustain metabolic activity using water vapor at high relative humidity. However, data concerning the significance of this ability in natural populations are almost completely lacking. To help fill in this gap, we tracked the photosynthetic capacity …

Two Rules Of Completeness, Peter Bouck Dec 2025

Two Rules Of Completeness, Peter Bouck

University of Memphis Law Review

The evidentiary rule of completeness is a common law and statutory rule of fairness that prevents one party from creating a distorted picture out of partial evidence at trial.1 If a prosecutor admits one part of a defendant’s confession, “The murder weapon was mine,” the rule of completeness permits the admission of the second, “but I had sold it months earlier.”2 The version of the rule of completeness codified in Federal Rule of Evidence (“FRE”) 106 states: If a party introduces all or part of a statement, an adverse party may require the introduction, at that time, of any other …

Economic Loss Rule - Commercial Painting Co. V. Weitz Co.: Tennessee's Abrogation Of The Economic Loss Doctrine As Applied To Service Contracts, Merry Ashlyn Gatewood Dec 2025

Economic Loss Rule - Commercial Painting Co. V. Weitz Co.: Tennessee's Abrogation Of The Economic Loss Doctrine As Applied To Service Contracts, Merry Ashlyn Gatewood

University of Memphis Law Review

In its broadest form, the “economic loss rule” stands for the proposition that contracting parties who suffer purely economic damages may not recover in tort.1 The doctrine reasons that, in cases where there are no personal injuries or property damage, contract law— and not the law of tort—provides the appropriate avenue for recovery. This rule originated in the context of products liability,3 and it exists to preserve the boundary line between contract and tort law when both theories could ostensibly apply.4 However, “the economic loss rule” is a bit of a misnomer because there is not one unified rule.5 Instead, …

Beyond Compliance: Unmasking The Gaps In Aba Standard 303© For Cultural Competency, Assata Smith Dec 2025

Beyond Compliance: Unmasking The Gaps In Aba Standard 303© For Cultural Competency, Assata Smith

University of Memphis Law Review

In the early weeks of the Fall 2023 semester at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law (“Memphis Law”), a few student leaders of the school’s Law Review worked together to construct a “trophy” to acknowledge the excellent Bluebook editing work done by Law Review staff each week. The “trophy” was made up of a football, a long black wig, big red lips, and was named “Sheila.” The trophy then sat on display for nearly two weeks in the Law Review suite until a few concerned Law Review members brought to the attention of leadership the resemblance …

'The Rest Is Silence': Reframing Stasis As Integral To Creative Practice, Corinna Di Niro, Pablo Muslera Dec 2025

'The Rest Is Silence': Reframing Stasis As Integral To Creative Practice, Corinna Di Niro, Pablo Muslera

Staff Scholarship - Australia & Dubai

This duoethnographic study examines the relationship between motion and stasis in creative practice through the lens of two creative educators working in postgraduate and undergraduate Creative Industries. Drawing on our combined experiences as practitioners and educators at SAE University College, we explore how creative blockages can be reframed as productive rather than problematic, challenging dominant productivity paradigms in contemporary creative industries and education. Through structured dialogic exchange, we investigate three interconnected themes: the rhythmic nature of creative practice, the pedagogical value of embracing productive stasis, and the tension between institutional timelines and creative development. We consider how encouraging SAE creative …

This study examines how immigrant healthcare professionals experience immigration-related stress, cultural tension, and communication demands within U.S. clinical environments. A survey of 55 clinicians at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center showed varied levels of cultural conflict and socioeconomic worry, as well as frequent adjustments to communication styles. While many participants reported feeling culturally stable, a significant portion experienced tension or uncertainty tied to immigration status. These findings highlight the wide range of adaptation experiences among immigrant clinicians, supporting the need for institutional awareness and targeted support.

Learning To Play Drums: Rote Learning Versus Note Approach, Jacob R. Brumback Dec 2025

Learning To Play Drums: Rote Learning Versus Note Approach, Jacob R. Brumback

Masters Theses

The purpose of this qualitative historical study is to determine whether rote-learned drummers perform better than formally trained drummers. The issue is that some drummers may excel by watching and developing aural skills exclusively, while others perform well by only reading sheet music. The goal is to decide if drummers with strong aural skills or those who rely on note-reading performed better. The rationale explained how the applicability of rudiments, complex timing, creative fills, and improvisational soloing skills influences the performances of both rote-learned and note-approach drummers. Data collection methods for this research included oral history traditions and analyzing secondary …

This educational resource will guide students and faculty to view their profession as a divine calling, engaging in the creative process as an act of worship while developing an ethical and spiritually grounded design process. The comprehensive literature …
