Juvenile Justice And Delinquency – Reforming A Broken System, Brandie Olson

Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Leadership

The juvenile justice system faces significant controversies, primarily concerning accountability and the treatment of young offenders. With rising juvenile crime rates, especially in urban areas like Hennepin County, there is an urgent need for reform. How does the system balance the urgency to hold young offenders accountable while providing the necessary support to foster their rehabilitation? Together, we must explore these challenges to pave the way for a more even-handed and effective juvenile justice system that prioritizes the future of our youth. As legal frameworks intersect with adolescent growth, three key ethical domains emerge: ensuring developmental appropriateness, upholding fair treatment, …

Utilization Of Suprathel® In Delayed Surgical Management Of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (Ten): A Case Report, Isabella Lipkin, Michelle Hughes, W. B. Hughes Md

Jefferson Hospital Staff Papers and Presentations

Given the lack of established practice guidelines for the management of cutaneous symptoms associated with toxic epidermal necrolysis, treatments range from various dressings to skin substitutes. The following report details a case of a 21-year-old male patient with this diagnosis who presented nine days after rash eruption from an outside hospital with no signs of healing. The patient was then successfully managed surgically eleven days after symptom onset with debridement of epidermal blisters and placement of Suprathel®. To our knowledge, this publication is the first to describe the potential of this synthetic skin substitute in promoting epidermal regeneration for delayed …

Filipino American Parents' Experiences With The United States Special Education System: A Qualitative Study, Greyagail Custodio Surio

Theses and Dissertations

While there have been studies on Asian American (AA) parents' experiences with the U.S. special education (SPED) system, there have been no studies on Filipino American (FA) parents' experiences with the SPED system. As FAs are the third largest Asian group in the United States., there is a need for special education research to be conducted with this population. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) interviews were conducted over Zoom with FA parents of children receiving SPED services. Participants resided in various states in the United States (n = 10). Participants reported varied and nuanced experiences related to advocacy, working with the …

A Randomized Controlled Study Of Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback In An Older Adult Sample, Whitney D. Allen

Theses and Dissertations

Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) is a controlled breathing treatment designed to increase the variation in consecutive heartbeats leading to improved regulation of one's autonomic nervous system thereby improving one's ability to self-regulate and maintain homeostasis. Changes in heart rate variability (HRV) are seen in those of increased age and lower HRV is associated with poorer outcomes (e.g., increased mortality, worse emotional functioning, cardiovascular risk factors). As such, older adults are a group that stands to benefit from HRVB principles. The current randomized control trial was designed to understand the impact of HRVB in an older adult population on resting …

Majority In Vermont See Grim Future For Personal Finances, Fear Effect Of Tariffs 2/21/2025, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

More than half of Vermont residents expect to be worse off financially in a year, with many anticipating rising prices, inflation, or poor economic stewardship by the Trump administration. Nine in ten expect that tariffs will raise the cost of goods and two-thirds think they will have a negative effect on the overall economy. Few Vermonters expect good times for businesses in Vermont or the country at large over the next twelve months and few believe now is a good time to purchase a major household item.

Republicans In Maine Optimistic About National Economy, Downbeat On State; Democrats Pessimistic On Both 2/21/2025, Unh Survey Center

All UNH Survey Center Polls

Mainers are more likely to expect good business conditions in the country than in Maine over the next year. This is largely because Republicans in the state are optimistic about the national and pessimistic about the state economy, while Democrats are pessimistic on the prospects for both the state and national economies. Half of Mainers think Trump’s tariffs will harm the national economy and most expect that tariffs will raise the cost of goods.

A Digital Twin Based Forecasting Framework For Power Flow Management In Dc Microgrids, Kerry Sado, Jarrett Peskar, Austin Downey, Jamil A. Khan, Kristen Booth

Faculty Publications

The ability to forecast system conditions is integral to the definition and functionality of digital twins. While forecasting methods have been explored for use in digital twin systems, the integration of feedback mechanisms for real-time forecasting and in-situ decision-making in DC microgrids has not been extensively investigated. This research develops a modular forecasting framework tailored for digital twins in DC microgrids to enable real-time monitoring, online forecasting, and decision-making. DC microgrids, characterized by dynamic load variations, benefit from advanced predictive capabilities to maintain stability and operational efficiency. The proposed digital twin-based forecasting framework addresses these challenges by providing real-time predictive …

The Authority Of Clothes: Queen Elizabeth I And Her Succession Crisis Of 1562/63, Kalen R. Melton

Department of History: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

This thesis looks at the silent messaging associated with Queen Elizabeth I's clothing during her early reign. The goal of this thesis is to look at outfits Elizabeth could have worn and see what sort of messages her contemporaries in Parliament might haven taken from them. I specifically looked at Elizabeth's Parliamentary meeting from 1562/63. I did so because this meeting was early in her reign, her legitimacy was being questioned on two fronts, and she had just gotten over smallpox. Elizabeth was not known yet for her extravagant outfits, but she would have needed to have had a powerful …

Time To Initiation Of Antiresorptive Agents In Multiple Myeloma To Reduce Skeletal Related Events, Amman Bhasin, Adam Binder, Leland Damron, Amry Majeed, Adam Barsouk, Kelly Hughes, Thomas Jefferson University, Abdullateef O. Abdulkareem, Tingting Zhan, Divya Polu, Sai Gundepalli, Srinivas Devarakonda

Kimmel Cancer Center Faculty Papers

Purpose: Current treatment guidelines strongly support the use of antiresorptive therapy in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) with the goal of preventing skeletal related events (SRE). Despite these concrete, data-driven recommendations, the impact of delays in antiresorptive initiation in NDMM patients is understudied. Through a multicenter retrospective study, we examined the impact of delays in antiresorptive initiation on the rates of SREs. We furthered our exploration of this topic in a separate retrospective analysis with a focus on reasons for delays in antiresorptive therapy initiation. Methods: Electronic health records from two large academic institutions were used to identify …

Neural Signal Analysis In Chronic Stroke: Advancing Intracortical Brain-Computer Interface Design, Nabila Shawki, Alessandro Naopli, Carlos E. Vargas-Irwin, Christopher K. Thompson, John P. Donoghue, Mijail D. Serruya

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

INTRODUCTION: Intracortical Brain-computer interfaces (iBCIs) are a promising technology to restore function after stroke. It remains unclear whether iBCIs will be able to use the signals available in the neocortex overlying stroke affecting the underlying white matter and basal ganglia.

METHODS: Here, we decoded both local field potentials (LFPs) and spikes recorded from intracortical electrode arrays in a person with chronic cerebral subcortical stroke performing various tasks with his paretic hand, with and without a powered orthosis. Analysis of these neural signals provides an opportunity to explore the electrophysiological activities of a stroke affected brain and inform the design of …
