Sustainable Enterprise Architecture: Embedding Circular Economy And Lifecycle Thinking In It Strategy, Sai Chandrahas Kaveripakam, Frank Lin

Communications of the IIMA

This paper explores the integration of sustainability into traditional Enterprise Architecture (EA), proposing a novel Sustainable Enterprise Architecture (SEA) model, and uses the fashion industry to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed model. The SEA framework systematically embeds environmental, social, and economic sustainability principles into corporate strategy and operational practices. This research also addresses the significant intention-action gaps among consumers and organizations in sustainability practice. Through vivid case examples, such as MUD Jeans' leasing model and Pact's affordable circular apparel, this research highlights practical pathways for operationalizing sustainability. By leveraging Circular Economy (CE) and Product Life Cycle (PLC) concepts, SEA …

On-Chip Ge-Based Refractive Index Sensor Based On Multislot Ge Waveguide, Çi̇çek Boztuğ

Turkish Journal of Physics

On-chip optical sensors have been attracting significant attention of the researchers due to their portability, low cost, and in-situ detection compatibility. The realization of these compact and mass-producible sensors will be possible if all required optical and electronic components are fully integrated on the same chip. However, the main obstacle here is the lack of the room-temperature on-chip light source; therefore, an external source has been utilized for optical sensing applications. Our work introduces a germanium-based optical sensing structure, specifically designed to operate at low refractive indices, with all required optical components integrated on silicon in a CMOS-compatible manner. The …

Influences On Emergency Clinician Use Of Health Information Exchange: Interview Study, Brian E. Dixon, Umesh Ghimire, Benjamin Richter, Corinne Bowditch, Saurabh Rahurkar, John T. Finnell, Joshua R. Vest

Division of Internal Medicine Faculty Papers & Presentations

BACKGROUND: Health information exchange (HIE) supports clinical decision-making in emergency medicine settings. Despite evidence and policies that encourage the adoption of HIE, use by clinicians is limited. Moreover, few studies examine HIE use years after adoption by hospitals or clinics.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the perceptions and use of a mature, operational HIE system by emergency department clinicians years after its implementation.

METHODS: We interviewed 21 clinicians in various roles (eg, attending physician and nurse practitioner) across multiple health systems that participate in a statewide HIE network. We asked questions about their use of the HIE system and …

Within this text exchange, the conversation navigates themes of digital preservation, authorship, and self-curation—examining how social media aesthetics transform personal experience into collective memory. @ONLYSTARLEFT reflects on the act of archiving not as static documentation but as a living, participatory practice shaped by the speed and impermanence of online culture. Formally, the project recognizes the iPhone as a cultural mediator—its interface shaping not only how we communicate, but how we perceive and construct value within …

The Unavoidable Consequences Of Homelessness, Sara K. Rankin, Laura Riley

Utah Law Review

The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent Grants Pass v. Johnson decision sounded the death knell for Eighth Amendment protections for people experiencing homelessness. The decision not only overruled key Ninth Circuit decisions, but also severely cabined the Court’s own precedent, allowing cities across the country to jail and fine people for doing nothing other than surviving in public space when they have no reasonable alternative. The Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment is a powerful symbol of America’s aspiration to realize the dignity and humanity of all its people, especially those who are marginalized and vulnerable to systemic discrimination …

All Decisions

In this nuisance holdover proceeding, the landlord moved to strike several of the tenant's objections and affirmative defenses. The court denied striking the tenant's service-related objections, finding that afternoon/evening service attempts might not constitute "reasonable application" if the landlord knew of the tenant's schedule. It also preserved the tenant's defense that a recertification notice could imply waiver and the possibility of a post-judgment right to cure nuisance, citing equitable factors. However, the court granted striking objections that the termination notice was vague and that a notice to cure was required, holding that the notice adequately described the alleged conditions and …
