Third-Party Funding: Balancing Transparency, National Security, And Access To Justice, Victoria Shannon Sahani

Seattle University Law Review

Many lawmakers who have recently become aware of the multi-billion-dollar global third-party funding industry are raising new national security concerns that further complicate preexisting, longstanding debates about transparency, disclosure, access to justice, and the best way to regulate third-party funding. In response, this Article briefly asserts three main points relating to the question of how best to regulate third-party funding. First, this Article explains the third-party funding industry, including its global regulatory landscape and how it serves three distinct populations: consumers, businesses, and law firms. Second, this Article explains that third-party funding is one tool that can help expand access …

The Field Of International Business Transactions Law, Kathleen Claussen

Seattle University Law Review

This Article studies the evolution of the scholarly subfield referred to as the law of “international business transactions” (IBT). It reviews data on academic articles, courses, textbooks and other signifiers of the growth of this research area. Beginning around 1960, scholars began to use the term “international business transactions” and by the 1980s, several law schools were offering a course by that title. A handful of dedicated textbooks soon followed. These data reflect a gradual increase in research on the topic of IBT, particularly in the United States, but also considerable diversity of subject matters covered by those works. The …

Mitigating Procurement Risks: A Framework For Good Governance In Public Contracting, Karem Sayed Aboelazm, Raghda Raafat, Fady Tawakol, Khalid Mohamed Dganni

All Works

This paper seeks to explore internal and emerging limitations set within the public procurement system. It suggests institutional structures to oversee such a process, more than just technical fixes (Enayati & Özaltin, 2024). It also aims to move beyond the technologies themselves by bringing governance, standards, and principles into public procurement. The present paper is descriptive-analytic and was conducted based on a review of literature and research reports. It also employs a qualitative interpretive methodology for analysis of international organization reports and identifies various types of public procurements, such as procedural and contextual systemic risks. The paper draws a number …

Virtue And Artificial Intelligence, Derek Schuurman

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

As I write this article, my streaming music service is offering new songs that match my current selections. Recommendation engines can make use of AI (artificial intelligence) to recognize my listening patterns to make future song suggestions. In fact, I receive daily nudges from AI systems through internet search suggestions, purchase recommendations, video streaming prompts, auto-completion of texts and emails, and personalization of my social media feeds. These daily prompts and nudges can have major impacts on our habits and practices.

Gratitude, Materialism, And Sustainable Consumption Behaviors Among Filipino Young Adults: A Mediation Analysis, Julia May L. Benavente, Nephtaly Joel B. Botor, Helga P. Vergara, Michelle C. Merca, Sarah Jen C. Paccarangan

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

The study examined the relationships among gratitude, materialism, and sustainable consumption behavior (SCB), exploring whether gratitude functions as a protective factor against consumerism among the youth. Using a descriptive-correlational cross-sectional design, survey data were collected from 109 Filipino college students (Mage = 22.2 years old; SD = 2.02; age range = 18–21 years old; 63.3% female; 70.6% middle-income households) who completed adapted measures of gratitude, materialism, and SCB. Results revealed nuanced associations among the three constructs. At the bivariate level, there were inverse associations between gratitude and materialism, and between materialism and SCB. At the multivariate level, a mediation analysis …

Crispr Spacers Reveal Diverse And Abundant Thermococcales Viruses In Hydrothermal Vents, Ryan Catchpole, Justin Mclean, Emily St John, Anna-Louise Reysenbach, Mart Krupovic, Michael P. Terns

Biology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Viruses are the most pervasive biological entities on Earth and they profoundly shape host ecology and evolution. However, for many microbial lineages, knowledge of their viromes remains limited, especially for those inhabiting remote environments, including deep-sea ecosystems. Here, we leverage one of the most extensively cultivated and genomically characterized archaeal lineages, the Thermococcales, to identify novel viral genomes. By utilizing CRISPR spacers from isolates and spacer arrays reconstructed from metagenomes, we mined mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in 1,172 publicly available and newly sequenced hydrothermal vent metagenomic datasets. Comparative genomics and identification of viral hallmark proteins revealed 620 viral genomes across …

“It’S Like Being Interrogated For A Crime:” The Job Interview Experiences Of Late Diagnosed Autistic Women, Brianna M. Sandner

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Autistic adults face disproportionately high unemployment rates, with traditional job interviewsserving as a significant barrier due to their emphasis on social norms and the importance of first impressions. Research on barriers late-diagnosed autistic women—a population historically marginalized in both autism and employment research—encounter during job interviews is nascent. This study examines four key areas through the voices of participants: challenges encountered during interviews, coping mechanisms, masking behaviors, and the impact of receiving a late diagnosis on their understanding of past job-seeking experiences. Women described experiencing difficulties with an inaccessible interview structure, navigating social and professional norms, and answering questions on …
