Driving Together: The Necessity Of A Comprehensive Federal Response For The Success Of Autonomous Vehicles, Timothy Buff

Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal

Today’s world is full of promising yet controversial new technologies. Large Language Models (LLMs), such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, have both promised fantastic results and generated a range of critiques. Quantum computing claims to be able to complete computations that would take traditional computers, even supercomputers, longer than the lifespan of the universe to complete. With such advancements, the future dreamed of in science fiction stories of the twentieth century seems to be becoming reality. Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are another notable technology, which promise to ultimately remove any human responsibility, and hence any human error, from the process of driving a …

Assessing The Role Of Social Media As A Complementary Source In Pharmacovigilance: Insights From Faers, X (Formerly Twitter), And Askapatient Data Across Multiple Drug Classes, Nwanneka Okere

Dissertations

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) pose significant public health challenges yet remain substantially underreported in traditional pharmacovigilance systems. Social media platforms and patient-reported outcome forums have emerged as potential complementary sources for capturing real-time patient experiences with medications, but their integration with established surveillance systems remains underexplored.

Purpose: This study examined ADR reporting patterns across FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), X (formerly Twitter), and Askapatient to evaluate whether patient-generated digital data can complement traditional pharmacovigilance systems for enhanced drug safety monitoring.

Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design analyzed 107,753 reports representing 289,740 individual ADR occurrences for …

Judicial Climate Governance: Corporate Purpose And The Courts, Hassan M. Ahmad, Ahmed R. Chowdhury

All Papers

With the existential threat of climate change, there is increased attention about the corporation's duty to maintain a healthy environment, particularly in light of the conventional shareholder primacy model of corporate purpose. This article proposes the idea of judicial climate governance. In the absence of robust legislative reforms that would obligate corporations to mitigate and even eliminate their inordinate climate impacts, in climate change litigation courts can and should render liability and compensation decisions that direct corporations towards a more stakeholder-friendly model of corporate purpose. To substantiate the need for judicial climate governance, this article canvasses and contextualizes the historical …

Relink: Edge Activation For Closed Network Influence Maximization Via Deep Reinforcement Learning, Shivvrat Arya, Smita Ghosh, Bryan Maruyama, Venkatesh Srinivasan

Mathematics and Computer Science

Influence Maximization aims to select a subset of elements in a social network to maximize information spread under a diffusion model. While existing work primarily focuses on selecting influential nodes, these approaches assume unrestricted message propagation-an assumption that fails in closed social networks, where content visibility is constrained and node-level activations may be infeasible. Motivated by the growing adoption of privacy-focused platforms such as Signal, Discord, Instagram, and Slack, our work addresses the following fundamental question: How can we learn effective edge activation strategies for influence maximization in closed networks? To answer this question we introduce Reinforcement Learning for Link …

Where Did All The Genericide Cases Go? And Should They Be Gone For Good?, Daniela Camacho

Fordham Intellectual Property, Media and Entertainment Law Journal

Trademarks are all around us. It would be difficult to go an entire day without encountering a trademark—In fact, three-fourths of the words we use in our day-to-day conversations have been claimed as trademarks by various companies for various products. Often, we don’t even recognize all the marks we come across as trademarks. Words such as “aspirin,” “escalator,” and “trampoline” were all once trademarks. Over time, these words began to signify the product more than the producer; Because the marks could no longer identify the product’s source as trademarks are supposed to, the marks suffered “genericide” and were cancelled.

Intimate Partner Violence: Serving Heterosexual Male And Same-Sex Victims, David Welch

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an ongoing social problem across nationalities, cultures, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, and genders. Historically, research into IPV has focused on the heterosexual female victim and male perpetrator paradigm, including identifying the root causes of this phenomenon and appropriate treatment models. There is a distinct gap in the current literature addressing how therapists in the psychological community approach working with heterosexual male and same-sex victims of IPV, beginning with case conceptualization. To explore the unique case conceptualization considerations of therapists as they encounter heterosexual male and same-sex IPV victims in their practice, a general phenomenological research …

Artificial Intelligence In Teacher Practice: Insights From A Pilot Study, Annie García, Ali Kushki

Purdue AI in P-12 Education Conference

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken the education field by storm. Yet mixed messages have left educators uncertain about how to approach the technology in practice.

Leadership Approaches And Behaviors That Positively Impact Collective Teacher Efficacy In Refugee Education, Anne Marie Chow

Education Dissertations

Collective teacher efficacy (CTE) has been shown to positively influence student learning, yet research on the role of leadership in cultivating CTE is still developing, even in mainstream schools. Even less is known about how leadership supports CTE in refugee-serving schools, where the challenges of displacement and interrupted education create additional complexity. This qualitative case study explored how leadership behaviors supported the development of CTE in Blue School, an international educational organization serving refugee youth. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers and leaders and through organizational documents. Inductive analysis revealed seven themes: shared purpose, trust and well-being, collaboration, …

On Influence Tail Bounds In Online Social Networks, Michael Simpson, Laks V. S. Lakshmanan, Venkatesh Srinivasan

Mathematics and Computer Science

The influence estimation and maximization problems study the expected reach of a seed set in social networks under a stochastic propagation model. Motivated by the practical utility of characterizing the distribution of reach values, we systematically analyze the tail behaviour of the reach of a seed set. We study tail bound query problems that, for a given seed set, compute either the maximum reach for a given probability threshold or the highest probability of achieving a target reach. We prove #P-hardness and propose algorithms that balance efficiency and accuracy. We also examine tail bound optimization problems that find a seed …
