All Decisions

In this nonpayment proceeding, the tenant moved for dismissal, summary judgment, leave to amend the answer, and to reargue a prior decision. The court denied the motion to reargue as untimely under CPLR § 2221(d)(3). The motion to dismiss or for summary judgment was also denied, finding the landlord sufficiently pleaded the premises' deregulation status and its interest. While the court granted the tenant's request to amend the answer to include failure to state a cause of action and breach of warranty of habitability defenses, it struck the rent overcharge counterclaim and related defense, applying the law of the case …


Chronic Sleep Restriction Induces Oculomotor Impairment With Inadequate Compensation, Erin E. Flynn-Evans, Terence L. Tyson, Gregory Costedoat, Sean Pradhan, Leland S. Stone Jan 2026

Chronic Sleep Restriction Induces Oculomotor Impairment With Inadequate Compensation, Erin E. Flynn-Evans, Terence L. Tyson, Gregory Costedoat, Sean Pradhan, Leland S. Stone

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Study Objectives Chronic sleep loss is widespread and can cause deficits in vigilant attention. There are few practical biomarkers that can be used to assess the impact of chronic sleep loss on alertness and performance. Those that are available, such as tests of vigilant attention, cannot discriminate chronic sleep loss from other impairments, like alcohol intoxication, limiting the use of such tools. We aimed to test whether a suite of behavioral oculometrics would be sensitive, and perhaps specific, to chronic sleep restriction (CSR). Methods We conducted a randomized, counterbalanced, cross-over study to compare behavioral oculometrics following a week of 5 …


Functional Genomic Analysis Of Non-Canonical Dna Regulatory Elements Of The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor, Shayan Shahriar, Tajhal D Patel, Manjula Nakka, Sandra L Grimm, Cristian Coarfa, Daniel A Gorelick Jan 2026

Functional Genomic Analysis Of Non-Canonical Dna Regulatory Elements Of The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor, Shayan Shahriar, Tajhal D Patel, Manjula Nakka, Sandra L Grimm, Cristian Coarfa, Daniel A Gorelick

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor activated by environmental toxicants like halogenated and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which then binds to DNA and regulates gene expression. AHR is implicated in numerous physiological processes, including liver and immune function, cell cycle control, oncogenesis, and metabolism. Traditionally, AHR binds a consensus DNA sequence (GCGTG), the xenobiotic response element (XRE), recruits coregulators, and modulates gene expression. Yet, recent evidence suggests AHR can also regulate gene expression via a non-consensus sequence (GGGA), termed the non-consensus XRE (NC-XRE). The prevalence and functional significance of NC-XRE motifs in the genome have remained unclear. …


The Correlation Between The Frequency Of Using Grammarly And The Accuracy Of Students’ Thesis Writing, Tri Herawati, Suharyadi Suharyadi, Harits Masduqi Jan 2026

The Correlation Between The Frequency Of Using Grammarly And The Accuracy Of Students’ Thesis Writing, Tri Herawati, Suharyadi Suharyadi, Harits Masduqi

Journal of Language, Literature, and Arts

Grammar-checking tools have gained popularity as a means of addressing writing difficulties and improving students’ writing quality, particularly grammatical accuracy. Therefore, it is important to examine the relationship between the frequency of Grammarly use and the accuracy of students’ thesis writing to understand the potential benefits and limitations of Grammarly as a writing tool in academic contexts. This study aimed to investigate whether a correlation exists between these two variables. A quantitative approach with correlational research design was employed. The participants were 63 English Language Education students from Universitas Negeri Malang who were enrolled in the 2017, 2018, and 2019 …


Interiority And Resilience, Paramita Atmodiwirjo, Yandi Andri Yatmo Jan 2026

Interiority And Resilience, Paramita Atmodiwirjo, Yandi Andri Yatmo

Interiority

The disciplines of interior architecture and interior design operate within a world characterised by constant changes. Projecting the future of the interior requires an understanding of how the discipline and practice can manoeuvre exquisitely within such complexities. It calls for design scholarship that promotes resilience as a key condition for responding to constant changes. The interior demonstrates resilience through its capacity to sustain culture, humanistic values, and local sociospatial practices, allowing it to navigate the dynamics of global flux. A call for interior resilience presents an opportunity for interior practices grounded in humanistic and cultural approaches to address uncertainties, instability, …


Neuroscience And Humanism In Norman Foster's Architecture, Francisco Javier Lahuerta Ferris, Bartolomé Serra Soriano Jan 2026

Neuroscience And Humanism In Norman Foster's Architecture, Francisco Javier Lahuerta Ferris, Bartolomé Serra Soriano

Interiority

The work of Norman Foster, often labelled as 'high-tech,' is renowned for its structural expressionism and technological rationalism. However, it is grounded in the conception of a unified whole in which science, technology, and the humanities are inseparable facets that shape both human beings and the spaces they design and inhabit. This article analyses the correlations between the new paradigms established by neuroscience and the design principles of Foster's architecture: the integral conception of reality, optimisation, and energy balance (homeostasis) as survival factors guiding decisions, and the role of perception, emotions, and feelings in the creation and evaluation of architectural …


Defective Viral Genomes: Emerging Therapeutic Tools For Animal Viral Infections, Saad Hashem Ghmeiss, Ali Abdul-Jassim Alwan Jan 2026

Defective Viral Genomes: Emerging Therapeutic Tools For Animal Viral Infections, Saad Hashem Ghmeiss, Ali Abdul-Jassim Alwan

AUIQ Conference Proceedings

Defective Viral Genomes (DVGs), which are viral genomes that are defective in some way, are naturally occurring byproducts of viral replication in numerous RNA viruses, notably Orthomyxoviridae (Influenza virus), Filoviridae (Ebola and dengue), and Paramyxoviridae (Respiratory Syncytial). They have three well-defined functions: interference with regular virus replication, immunostimulation, and virus persistence. DVGs are defective viral genomes that can hijack the replication cycle of wild-type viruses, leading to partial or complete suppression of viral populations. A variety of new DVGs are created through infection of the host by one of these viruses. The researchers devised a strategy for identifying those most …

The Cost Of Underperforming Investments Jan 2026

The Cost Of Underperforming Investments

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Underperforming investments change a firm's equity value, cost of equity, capital structure and cost of capital. We show how to correctly adjust the cost of capital and correctly value a firm with underperforming investments. The correct equity estimate equates the equity value derived from the Economic Profit Model with the equity used to estimate the WACC. We demonstrate how underperforming investments can reduce equity value even though earnings may increase. We confirm our results with the Residual Earnings Model and show that our approach for valuing a company with underperforming investments also works well with investments that increase equity value.


Acute Onset, Relapsing-Remitting Choreiform Movement Disorder In A Girl With 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, Sara Brunetti, Silvia Saottini, Anna Molinaro, Patrizia Accorsi, Annarosa Soresina, Michele Frigerio, Elisa Maria Fazzi Jan 2026

Acute Onset, Relapsing-Remitting Choreiform Movement Disorder In A Girl With 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, Sara Brunetti, Silvia Saottini, Anna Molinaro, Patrizia Accorsi, Annarosa Soresina, Michele Frigerio, Elisa Maria Fazzi

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is the most common chromosomal microdeletion disorder, presenting with a broad spectrum of congenital abnormalities and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Movement disorder is one of the most common neurological manifestation of the syndrome. The literature reports that early Parkinson's disease and dystonia in particular are associated with the syndrome. We here describe the first known case of choreiform movement disorder in a girl suffering from 22q11.2DS, responsive to tetrabenazine after a relapsing-remitting course.

Examining Neural Correlates Of Sexual Preferences Between Persian Homo- And Heterosexual Males Using Psychological Assessments And Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging In Specifying Cognitive Map: A Limited And Cross-Sectional Study, Abdollah Khorshidi Jan 2026

Examining Neural Correlates Of Sexual Preferences Between Persian Homo- And Heterosexual Males Using Psychological Assessments And Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging In Specifying Cognitive Map: A Limited And Cross-Sectional Study, Abdollah Khorshidi

Journal of Pediatric Neurology

Although the brain is an important part of a person’s sexual life, little is known about the correlations between sexual response and brain activation. This study examines brain response through clinical testing to reveal a number of brain structures whose activation are relevant to sexual arousal besides psychological testing according to the common traditional values and standards of Iranian society. Based on initial self-report, 25 homosexual and 25 heterosexual males participated in this test to elucidate the identity and sexual trends via Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2). Also, an fMRI technique — by presenting distinct homo- and heterosexual sex erotic …

Clarifying The Meaning Of Noninteger N Values In Annuity Calculations Jan 2026

Clarifying The Meaning Of Noninteger N Values In Annuity Calculations

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Time value of money problems are integral to finance. We focus attention on the issues raised when a noninteger solution results from solving for the variable N (number of periods) in a time value of money annuity problem. We show that such a numerical solution, while mathematically correct, can deviate from the narrative of the problem. This deviation from the narrative could cause misunderstandings between instructors and their students and practitioners and their clients. We demonstrate how instructors and practitioners can explain the deviation from the narrative in such cases, and how cash flows can be adjusted to avoid missing …

Extraordinary Or Excessive? Rethinking Nonretroactive Changes In Decisional Law As Grounds For Compassionate Release, Anna Zumbar Jan 2026

Extraordinary Or Excessive? Rethinking Nonretroactive Changes In Decisional Law As Grounds For Compassionate Release, Anna Zumbar

Akron Law Review

Federal courts are deeply divided on whether nonretroactive changes in decisional law affecting sentencing are an “extraordinary and compelling reason” for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A), The First, Second, Fourth, and Tenth Circuits recognize district courts’ broad discretion to weigh such changes, emphasizing that broad judicial discretion supports consideration of any relevant factors. In contrast, the Sixth, Seventh, Eights, and D.C. Circuits exclude nonretroactive changes in decisional law from consideration, confining “extraordinary and compelling reasons” to narrower circumstances. This circuit split has produced inconsistent outcomes, with similarly situated defendants subject to disparate treatment based solely on geography. The …


The Law Through The King U.S. (Procedural) Judicial Activism From A European Perspective, Cesare Cavallini Jan 2026

The Law Through The King U.S. (Procedural) Judicial Activism From A European Perspective, Cesare Cavallini

Akron Law Review

This essay explores the phenomenon of judicial activism in the United States, focusing particularly on procedural aspects, from a comparative perspective influenced by the civil law tradition, especially the Italian legal system. While American legal discourse often criticizes judicial activism as an overreach by the judiciary—sometimes calling it “imperialist” in relation to recent Supreme Court decisions—this work reinterprets the concept through the more subtle mechanisms of procedural intervention. I argue that activism should not be viewed solely through the lens of constitutional interpretation or resistance to precedent. It should also consider judicial actions that reshape procedural norms, such as pleading …

Teaching Collective Action Problems Without Contextual Bias: The Red/Green Simulation Jan 2026

Teaching Collective Action Problems Without Contextual Bias: The Red/Green Simulation

Journal of Economics and Finance Education

Collective action problems are at the heart of many economic issues. Often, students have trouble comprehending how society ends up with a less than optimal outcome, and may incorrectly assume that someone must want the outcome that occurs. Correcting this error is made difficult by the biases that students bring to these issues. The Red/Green simulation demonstrates the tension between self-interest and the social good in a context-free manner allowing students to see that these sub-optimal outcomes may not be desired by anyone, but instead can result from unhealthy systems of incentives.
