Avoiding Scandals Through Tax Rulings Transparency, Leandra Lederman

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In 2014, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists broke the “LuxLeaks” scandal, revealing numerous tax rulings that the press termed “sweetheart deals” granted to multinational companies. Many countries offer tax rulings because they provide certainty to taxpayers and the government on the tax consequences of a planned transaction. Yet, secrecy that is followed by leaks and criticism is a recurring aspect of these rulings, both in the United States and Europe. LuxLeaks, which revealed secret rulings from the small European country of Luxembourg, was international headline news. It helped trigger widespread reforms. Tax authorities, including those of European countries and …

Confusing Cy Près, Christopher J. Ryan Jr.

Articles by Maurer Faculty

American courts have increasingly considered the possibility of prolonging the life of charitable trusts through cy près and the closely related doctrine of equitable deviation. This requires courts to interpret the material purposes of trusts and even the administrative terms on which settlors of charitable trusts condition gifts in trust made for public benefit. Yet, the implicit reasons why courts might invoke cy près to change a charitable trust’s material purpose have not been explored in significant depth heretofore—and neither has a common but vexing trend of courts conflating cy près with deviation, which negatively impacts charitable trust-making.

Student Loans And Financial Distress: A Qualitative Analysis Of The Most Common Student Loan Complaints, Matthew Adam Bruckner, Christopher J. Ryan Jr.

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Student loan servicers are the face of the U.S. student loan system, and they are not well-liked. Using the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (the CFPB) consumer complaint database, we study borrower perceptions of the student loan system. We qualitatively analyzed a sample of complaint narratives drawn from every student loan complaint ever filed with the CFPB. Our analysis of these complaint narratives reveals clear patterns of discontent in four primary areas: 1) a mismatch between ability to repay and repayment options, including problems with forbearance, deferments, the public service loan forgiveness program, income-driven repayment plans, and loan cancellation options; 2) …

Peer Response And Assistance To Suicidal Thoughts And Behavior In University Students, Lindsey Katherine Hunter

Murray State Theses and Dissertations

Suicide represents the second leading cause of death in adolescents and young adults (CDC, 2022). Many interventions employed on college campus focus on peer support which has been previously related to reductions in suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB, e.g., suicidal ideation, suicidal plan, suicide attempts), but students may not have the experience needed to increase confidence or knowledge in providing support (Hirsch & Barton, 2011; King et al., 2008). Further, previous research has identified factors including exposure to STB, direct engagement in STB, knowledge, and stigma regarding suicide which have had mixed impact on confidence and helping intentions in supporting …

One-Pot Enol Silane Formation-Allylation Of Ketones Promoted By Trimethylsilyl Trifluoromethanesulfonate, Elizabeth D. Heafner, Xuechun Lin, Alexa Connors, Hanyu Zhong, R. J. Coyle, Yiqi Liu, C. Wade Downey

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Ketones and related substrate classes undergo enol silane formation in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) and triethylamine, reaction conditions that also promote the in situ ionization of allyl propionates. When these two processes are performed in one pot, allylation of the ketone is observed in high yields. Aldehydes, esters, and thioesters also serve as enol silane precursors under these conditions. When unsymmetrical allyl cations are employed, regioselectivity depends upon the electronic and steric properties of the substituents.

Winning The Imitation Game: Setting Safety Expectations For Automated Vehicles, William H. Widen, Philip Koopman

Articles

This article suggests that legislatures amend existing law to create a new legal category of "computer driver" to allow a plaintiff to make a negligence claim against an automated vehicle manufacturer for loss proximately caused by any negligent driving behavior exhibited by the driving automation systems which it produced. Creating this new legal category will allow a status quo approach to attribution and allocation of liability, including permitting defendants to take advantage of contributory negligence and comparative fault rules. Creation of the category also allows for continued functioning of the structure of our existing liability laws and regulations for motor …

Relational Abstraction In Early Childhood: Three Cultures And Three Trajectories, Alexandra Carstensen, Minju Kim, Gayoung Kim, Meizi Jin, Minjin Kang, Youngon Choi, Caren M. Walker

Psychology Faculty Articles and Research

Abstract reasoning in early childhood is often described as following a "relational shift," over which children become increasingly sensitive to relations. However, recent work has challenged the generality of this account, showing that children in the US and China follow distinct trajectories in a relational match-to-sample task (Carstensen et al., 2019). This difference aligns with multiple cultural and linguistic factors implicated in relational reasoning, in which English speakers in the US and Mandarin speakers in China appear at opposite ends of a continuum spanning from a focus on objects (US) to relations (CN). We explore early relational reasoning in a …

Extraction Of Cashew Nutshell Liquid From Cashew Nutshells Using The Polyol Induced Extraction (Pie) Method, Ibrahim L. Adewole

All Capstone Projects

Polyol-induced extraction (PIE) is applied to the extraction of cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) from cashew nutshells using glycerol as a mass-separating agent. In this process, a 1:1 mixture of acetonitrile (ACN) and water (H2O) exists as a completely miscible homogeneous phase. Cashew nutshells are soaked in this mixture at room temperature. After soaking the nutshells in acetonitrile/water, a polyol, glycerol, is added to the mixture, and a phase separation is observed. Upon cooling to –20 °C, the phase separation increases with an acetonitrile-rich top layer containing analytes that are soluble in acetonitrile. Initially, the PIE process was studied with pure …

Learned Compressive Representations For Single-Photon 3d Imaging, Felipe Gutierrez-Barragan, Fangzhou Mu, Andrei Ardelean, Atul Ingle, Claudio Bruschini, Edoardo Charbon, Yin Li, Mohit Gupta, Andreas Velten

Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

Single-photon 3D cameras can record the time-of-arrival of billions of photons per second with picosecond accuracy. One common approach to summarize the photon data stream is to build a per-pixel timestamp histogram, resulting in a 3D histogram tensor that encodes distances along the time axis. As the spatio-temporal resolution of the histogram tensor increases, the in-pixel memory requirements and output data rates can quickly become impractical. To overcome this limitation, we propose a family of linear compressive representations of histogram tensors that can be computed efficiently, in an online fashion, as a matrix operation. We design practical lightweight compressive representations …

The Concept Of Social Engineering And Cybercrime In The Digital Age, Chaitanya Reddy Eleti

All Student Theses and Dissertations

The increased implementation of digitalization which has come to rise has also raised concerns in terms of privacy and security of the data. Data leaks and stealing of privacy are some of the common practices which have grown over the years. Social engineering majorly depends on the normal human instincts for trusting in stealing personal as well as corporate information which can be implemented for committing the cybercrimes further. The attackers can use social engineering for convincing an employee for divulging the passwords of the company. Hence, there is a need to understand the fact of how social engineering can …
