Strength In Collaboration: A Unified Dd Network Approach To A Statewide Needs Assessment, Emily R. Lanchak, Julie Lounds Taylor, Bruce L. Keisling

Developmental Disabilities Network Journal

To strengthen collaboration, improve efficiency, and reduce respondent burden, the Tennessee Developmental Disabilities (DD) Network launched a first-of-its-kind integrated statewide needs assessment. This two-year, mixed-methods effort gathered input from nearly 1,500 individuals with disabilities, family members, and professionals through an accessible survey and follow-up focus groups. Tennessee DD Network partners co-developed measures, coordinated outreach efforts, and pooled resources to ensure broad representation and inclusive participation across communities statewide. Community members with lived experience were involved throughout the process, helping to ensure materials were usable, relevant, and respectful of diverse needs. The resulting shared dataset provides a foundation for each organization’s …

Toward Faster And Lower-Cost Prosthetic Socket Fabrication: Mechanical Coupon-Level Testing Of Fdm-Printed Pla/Petg Versus Lamination, Hussein Dhameer Hussein, Wajdi Sadik Aboud May 2026

Toward Faster And Lower-Cost Prosthetic Socket Fabrication: Mechanical Coupon-Level Testing Of Fdm-Printed Pla/Petg Versus Lamination, Hussein Dhameer Hussein, Wajdi Sadik Aboud

AUIQ Technical Engineering Science

Additive manufacturing is increasingly being adopted in prosthetic manufacturing because digital workflows can reduce production time and improve repeatability compared to traditional lamination. This study measured two FDM polymers—polylactic acid (PLA) and polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG)—against a baseline of Perlon epoxy laminate (not including carbon reinforcement) using standardized coupon tests (n = 3 per test). PLA and PETG samples were printed at 100% fill with a 0.6 mm nozzle, while laminate coupons were prepared by wet layup and cut to the required geometry. Tensile testing followed ASTM D638 and three-point bending followed ASTM D790, modulus, 0.2% offset yield strength, and …


The Smarter Sentencing Act Of 2026: A Major Step Toward Federal Sentencing Reform, Riley Amdor May 2026

The Smarter Sentencing Act Of 2026: A Major Step Toward Federal Sentencing Reform, Riley Amdor

Criminal Law Society Blog

This article examines The Smarter Sentencing Act of 2026, a bill that proposes to reduce minimum sentence requirements for certain drug offenses—particularly those that are nonviolent. Research has shown that prolonged prison sentences often do not lead to its intended effects and even tend to cause increased recidivism and criminogenic effects. Additionally, by reducing minimum sentencing requirements for these nonviolent drug offenses, judges are given more discretion when sentencing drug offenders, which allows for the branches of government to be more balanced and promotes leniency where judges believe it is warranted. Further, the reduction of minimum sentences for these nonviolent …


Dexmedetomidine And The Prevention Of Emergence Agitation In Military Veterans With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Taylor P. Ranegar May 2026

Dexmedetomidine And The Prevention Of Emergence Agitation In Military Veterans With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Taylor P. Ranegar

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Emergence agitation (EA) is a post-anesthetic complication that occurs when the patient is in a self-limited, nonfluctuating state of excitement while transitioning into a state of consciousness. EA can lead to negative adverse outcomes including, accidental invasive line removal, bleeding, respiratory depression, unintentional extubation, and injury to the staff and the patient. EA is often observed in military veterans who have a medical history of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For patients with a history of military exposure undergoing elective general anesthesia who also have PTSD, anxiety, and or depression, the incidence of EA was estimated to be around 27%. The …

Latitudinal Distribution Of Dust And Dust Storms Over Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia Using Surface Observations, Ahmed S. Hantoush, Mohammed A. Alomary, Adel M. Awad May 2026

Latitudinal Distribution Of Dust And Dust Storms Over Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia Using Surface Observations, Ahmed S. Hantoush, Mohammed A. Alomary, Adel M. Awad

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Meteorology, Environment and Arid Land Agriculture

This study examines the spatial and temporal variability of dust (DU) and dust-storm (DS) activity across Saudi Arabia using surface observations for the period 1979–2008, with a focus on the spring season (March–May). The study area was divided into three latitudinal zones from south to north (Zones 1–3). Monthly, seasonal, and annual frequencies of DU and DS events were analyzed to identify spatial differences, seasonal patterns, extreme events, and long-term trends. The results reveal strong spatial variability in dust activity across the three zones, with a clear latitudinal gradient with increasing dust activity toward northern regions. Zone 3 experiences the …


High-Caliber Tensions: Implications Of Florida’S Medical Marijuana Program On The Right To Keep And Bear Arms, George Bell, Kate E. Altman May 2026

High-Caliber Tensions: Implications Of Florida’S Medical Marijuana Program On The Right To Keep And Bear Arms, George Bell, Kate E. Altman

University of Miami Law Review

What is more valuable—the right to protect yourself, or the right to seek medical treatment? Presently, law abiding Floridians must choose between the two. Because the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (“ATF”) classifies medical marijuana patients as “unlawful drug users,” Floridians enrolled in the State’s medical marijuana scheme are prohibited from lawfully owning firearms. A lawsuit currently pending before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals seeks to address this constitutional conflict. This Article discusses that lawsuit, the legal framework in which it’s proceeding, and how courts may decide the appropriate balance between such fundamental questions.

A Clinical Risk Index For 30-Day Psychiatric Readmissions, Kenneth Theodore Kinter May 2026

A Clinical Risk Index For 30-Day Psychiatric Readmissions, Kenneth Theodore Kinter

Theses and Dissertations

The purposes of this descriptive, retroactive, and quantitative study were to create a risk index to predict 30-day readmissions to a state psychiatric hospital and to lend clarity to the conflicting research on 30-day readmissions. This study assessed discharges from 2006-2019 (N = 4,555) across over 28 variables ranging from patient, hospital, and discharge domains. This study created a model comprised of significant variables and converted it into a weighted risk index. These significant variables included: circulatory disease diagnosis, previous admissions to hospital, number of psychiatric diagnoses, region of discharge, PACT referral, and level of placement. The resulting index predicted …
