Tissue Quality In Early Stages Of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema: A Pilot Study, Tyler Almquist, Gabrielle Schroeder, Ian Villegas, David A. Doubblestein

Oncology Rehabilitation in Practice

Introduction: Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a chronic condition associated with breast cancer treatments. Tissue quality assessment, commonly performed using the pitting edema test, can also be quantified with digital tissue tonometry. However, the role of tonometry in early-stage BCRL — classified as Stages 0 and I by the International Society of Lymphology (ISL) — remains unclear.

Purpose: This pilot study aimed to assess the utility of tonometry in early-stage BCRL by evaluating tissue resistance (N), volume (ml), and circumference (cm) in healthy individuals and those with ISL Stage 0 and I lymphedema.

Methods: A convenience sample of females …

Dynamic Overhead Body-Weight Support Improves Walking Performance Following Icu Admission For Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Case Study, Hillary M. Jacobson, Carolyn Miller, Renee Mckenzie, Bryan Wittmeyer, Andrew Ray

Oncology Rehabilitation in Practice

Background: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a commonly treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT), leading to severe weakness and impaired function. Dynamic body weight support systems (DBWS) are a promising rehabilitation tool for enhancing early mobilization in deconditioned patients.

Purpose: Evaluate the integration of DBWS into the rehabilitation plan of a patient recovering from a prolonged ICU stay post-allo HSCT, focusing on mobility and functional recovery.

Case Description: A 55-year-old male, two years post-allo HSCT for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, was hospitalized for 14 weeks due to respiratory distress from pneumonia and lung GVHD, resulting in severe deconditioning. DBWS was introduced …

Artificial Intelligence And The Future Of Oncology Rehabilitation, Christopher M. Wilson

Oncology Rehabilitation in Practice

While the promise of AI in oncology rehabilitation is remarkable, successful adoption requires balance between enthusiasm and realism. These technologies must be thoughtfully integrated into existing workflows with safeguards for data privacy, accuracy, and clinician oversight. The goal is not to replace clinical judgment or the human connection at the heart of rehabilitation, but to amplify and augment them—restoring time, focus, and compassion to the clinical encounter. With deliberate implementation and continuous evaluation, AI can become a trusted partner in advancing the quality, accessibility, and humanity of oncology rehabilitation practice.

Editorial Board Message, Bryan A. Spinelli

Oncology Rehabilitation in Practice

With the release of this issue, we would like to announce that Oncology Rehabilitation in Practice have adopted a new publication schedule. Oncology Rehabilitation in Practice will continue to publish 2 issues each calendar year with issues now being released in May and November. The rationale for this change was that our previous publication schedule coincided with the release of the October and April issues of Rehabilitation Oncology, an official publication of APTA Oncology that is a peer-reviewed, indexed resource for advancing oncologic physical therapy practice and cancer rehabilitation. We hope this change will limit the challenges that clinicians …

Cultural Hybridization In The Digital Age: The Global-Local Tension In Youth Identity, Naseer Ali Hussien

AUIQ Humanities and Social Sciences

In the context of accelerated globalization and the proliferation of digital media, youth are increasingly navigating complex cultural terrains where global influences intersect with local traditions. This study examines how young people aged 15–25 construct hybrid cultural identities through their engagement with platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Drawing on cultural hybridization theory, Bhabha’s concept of Third Space, and Castells’ network society framework, the research employs a mixed-methods design incorporating semi-structured interviews, digital ethnography, and content analysis of over 8,000 social media posts from 300 participants across diverse socio-demographic backgrounds. Findings reveal that youth identity is dialectical and fluid, emerging …

Criminal Balance In The Criminalization Of Noise Between Individual Freedom Of Expression And The Right To Public Tranquility, Alaa Yasser Hussein

AUIQ Humanities and Social Sciences

This study addresses noise as a social and legal phenomenon that reveals the persistent tension between individual freedom of expression and the collective right to public tranquility, It examines the philosophical foundations of criminalization in light of the harm principle and the concept of public order, with a comparative analysis of Iraqi, French, and Italian legislation, The research highlights mechanisms of criminal balance by focusing on preventive administrative measures, non-custodial sanctions, and the principle of proportionality as a standard for legitimate restrictions, It concludes that safeguarding public tranquility does not require excessive penal severity, but rather a graduated framework that …

Coal Phase-Out In The Silesian Coal Regions – Building Sustainable Scenario On Past Experiences, Adam Drobniak, Jan Bondaruk, Mirosław Skibski

Journal of Sustainable Mining

The dynamics of phasing out of hard coal mining are currently the subject of many debates and policies programming the energy transition. Diversity of opinions on the speed of the hard coal mining transition is evident. This discourse uses a number of technical, environmental, economic and social arguments that are not always supported by evidence-based analyses. As assumed in the European Green Deal, a responsible approach to decarbonisation requires just transition values. Thus, the negative effects of mining phasing out should be well recognized to enable their mitigation. This applies especially to the Silesian Voivodeship, where the concentration of so-called …

Investigation Of Structure And Electric Study Of Calcium Silicate/Chitosan Composite Pre- And Post-Immersion In Sbf, Khaled R. Mohamed, Mohamed M. M. Elnasharty, Mostafa I. Abdelglil, Ragab M. Mahani

Al-Farahidi Biomedical Journal

The main goal of this article was to determine whether calcium silicate/chitosan composite as a bone graft material to facilitate autogenous bone formation. We investigated the structure, morphology, weight loss, and dielectric properties of the fabricated composites pre-immersion (control) and post-immersion in stimulated body fluids (SBF) for 7 and 28 days using various techniques. FTIR, TGA, and SEM analysis prove the formation of a composite from calcium silicate integrated with chitosan polymer. The bone-like apatite layer formed after 7 days and improved after 28 days. TGA tests showed that sample 28 kept more material (38.24%) than 7 (25.88%) and control …

Direct Current Servo Motor Speed Characterization Using Proportional And Integral Controllers, Adel S. Bahakeem, Ahmad Jamal, Mir M. M. Morshed, Elwaleed A. Khidir

Yanbu Journal of Engineering and Science

The present study is focused on investigating the steady-state and transient responses of a DC servo motor controlled by the Proportional and Integral controllers. It is also studied how the P and I controllers affect the stability, error, and damping of the DC motor response. The DC servo motor responses are obtained experimentally using a servo trainer and a PI analog controller, and theoretically using MATLAB Simulink. It is found through the results that the P controller contributes to decreasing the input-output errors of steady-state and transient responses and tends to stabilize the system. It also speeds up the system …

Breakdowns And Break-Ups? Brexit’S Implications For Irish Reunification, Daisy S. Fernandez

Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union

This paper seeks to understand Brexit’s implications for current and future Irish reunification efforts by examining political science literature, survey data, and election outcomes. It assesses how constituent and political actors respond to resurfacing debates about border policy. Contentious withdrawal agreement legislation, as well as losing the economic benefits of EU membership, have caused anxiety amongst Northern Irish residents. The impact of this is demonstrated in survey results indicating increasing support for reunification, expressed frustrations by both nationalists and unionists with political representation, and political party Sinn Féin gaining significant ground in recent elections. The aforementioned factors indicate increasing openness …

A History Unveiled: The French Civilizing Mission In Algeria And Contemporary Headscarf Debates, Fiona Garvey

Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union

Bans on face coverings are divisive in contemporary France, reflecting broader conflicts over reconciling religious identities with secularism. The concepts underlying these debates have transformed over the centuries. This comparative historical analysis covers the rise of imperial feminism in civilizing missions, its impact on Muslim women in colonial Algeria, and the extent to which imperial feminist ideologies persist in French debates over veiling. It finds that both the historical and contemporary French regimes centered on women’s status to legitimize Western domination and promote acculturation to European norms. However, these actions may only further oppress Muslim women by ignoring their agency …

Integration Through Reform: Le Conflit That Shaped The European Union, Ricardo E. Arellanes

Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union

Historians and political scientists have highlighted Charles de Gaulle’s initial hostility towards European integration and tended to ignore his nationalist policies in favor of a focus on pan-European free trade systems. They have also argued that de Gaulle’s vision of establishing a “European Europe” created more problems than solutions. These scholars have primarily approached the question through a realist perspective, holding that de Gaulle believed that total integration would allow larger nations to manipulate smaller ones. This essay argues the opposite. In his effort to restore France’s reputation as a strong world power, de Gaulle actually helped to reinforce the …

Sweden And Denmark’S Approach To Public Housing For Refugees In Response To The 2015 European Refugee Crisis, Julia Kearney

Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union

Housing is a critical aspect of social policy for refugees, as it serves as the foundation for their integration into a new society. While recognized as important, providing housing for refugees can be quite challenging for countries. This was particularly apparent during the 2015 European migrant crisis, when more than a million refugees, mainly from Syria, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan, flooded into Europe. Recipient countries did and continue to adopt varying policies when it comes to providing housing for refugees. This paper analyzes Denmark and Sweden’s response to the migration crisis and shows that the two countries had starkly different …

Child Benefit Cash Transfers In Ireland And Canada: A Comparative Analysis Of Welfare Policy, Ang D. Lee

Claremont-UC Undergraduate Research Conference on the European Union

Child benefit programs involving periodic cash transfers to parents have become increasingly embraced by governments worldwide. This paper investigates policy variance between child benefit cash transfers in Ireland and Canada, two countries with ostensibly similar welfare states. While Canadian child benefits shrink as household income grows, in Ireland cash transfers are set at a universal flat rate that is irrespective of family circumstance. On the other hand, Canadian parents receive far more generous payouts than their Irish counterparts despite means-testing. To determine the drivers of such policy divergence, I empirically test six theoretical paradigms from literature by leveraging several cross-national …
