Non-Waivability In Labour Law: An Australian Perspective, Joellen Riley Munton

Comparative Labor Law & Policy Journal

Australian industrial relations laws traditionally provided detailed mandatory standards through a system of arbitrated occupation-based awards. In the years since a shift to enterprise bargaining, the system has tolerated a greater level of flexibility, even in the way that legislated minima are framed. The options for waiving otherwise mandatory standards are, however, limited by procedural protections. The Fair Work Commission maintains a supervisory role to ensure that workers are “better off overall” as a consequence of their bargains. This article explains the many ways in which Australian labour standards permit flexible application, within constraints designed to preclude exploitative practices.

University Placed-Based Community Engagement And Adult Learners: A Field Report In Mutual Flourishing, Elisabeth Stevens, Kate Witvliet, Abbie Lipsker, Craig Mattson

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

Although higher education increasingly focuses on both community engagement and adult learners, community-engaged research rarely considers them together. This article bridges the gap in the literature between undergraduate adult learners and community engagement. Providing one example of a partnership that considers adult learners as necessary partners for community engagement, Calvin University’s 49507 Initiative is a place-based community educational project in southeast Grand Rapids, Michigan, focusing on the goals and needs of adult learners in the 49507 zip code and adjacent neighborhoods. Through 12 focus groups in the community, adult residents discussed their interests in higher education, identified barriers to higher …

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest malignancies, with a 5-year survival rate of just 13%. While the development and early clinical use of small molecules targeting oncogenic KRAS mutations, key drivers of PDAC, have shown promise, resistance to these targeted therapies remains a significant challenge. We recently identified Syndecan-1 (SDC1), a highly expressed heparan sulfate proteoglycan, as a critical KRAS effector protein that promotes nutrient salvage and tumor growth. Here, we report the development of a human-specific monoclonal antibody (anti-SDC1 mAb) that inhibits PDAC cell proliferation in vitro and suppresses PDAC tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, …

A Prospective Study Of Individuals At Risk Of Multiple Sclerosis Informs The Design Of Primary Prevention Studies, Amy Laitinen

All Publications

Objective: In multiple sclerosis, the optimal time for deploying a therapeutic intervention is before the central nervous system is damaged; given the success of trials treating the earliest stage of MS, the radiologically isolated syndrome, developing primary prevention strategies is an important next challenge. To inform this question, we examined the conversion of asymptomatic family members to a diagnosis of MS among Genes and Environment in Multiple Sclerosis (GEMS) project participants. We also evaluated an updated Genetic and Environmental risk score (GERS) and interest in participation in primary prevention trials.

Methods: GEMS is a nationwide prospective study of first-degree relatives …

The Relationship Between Mindful Awareness And Acculturative Stress For International Undergraduate Students In America, Nandini Narula Bajpai, Mary Stone

International Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities

This study examines mindful awareness and its role in acculturative stress experienced by international undergraduate students in American colleges. Data from 101 students from 37 countries attending 35 colleges revealed a significant negative correlation between mindful awareness and acculturative stress (r[99] = -0.51, p < 0.001). Higher mindful awareness predicted lower general acculturative stress and specific subdomains. These findings aim to refine cultural adaptation frameworks and inform evidence-based support systems for international students.
