Legal Agency Of Small States: Regional Law Cooperation Amid Indo-Pacific Pressures, Tan Hsien-Li

Michigan Journal of International Law

Discussions about the Indo-Pacific contestation between China and the United States often focus on both superpowers’ geopolitical strategies and economic and military might. The experiences of small and less powerful Indo-Pacific states navigating these tensions are relatively overlooked or even discounted. Yet, they are not passive bystanders in their longstanding neighborhood drama— they often seek strength in unity via their regional organizations and produce regional law to safeguard their collective interests. In short, they exercise legal agency. Using the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ (“ASEAN”) experience of regional law cooperation to navigate challenges (including, but not limited to, the U.S.-China …

Intersectionality's Travels To International Human Rights Law, Jens T. Theilen

Michigan Journal of International Law

Over the last two decades, references to intersectionality have become increasingly common in international human rights law. Many human rights bodies now make use of intersectionality in some form, and scholars propose more widespread and in-depth intersectional analysis as a way to better capture how human rights are realized or violated. Against the backdrop of this intersectional turn, this article scrutinizes the dynamics of intersectionality’s travels to international human rights law, asking how power structures influence where and how intersectionality can travel, and how its meaning and use change across contexts.

This article provides a bird’s-eye view of different human …

A Review At Two Nuclear Reactor Problems In Asia, Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

The development of nuclear power plants (NPP) is often a heated debate, especially in developing countries [1]. In relation to this, it is worth the public's attention that lately, it seems that there have been increasingly frequent press releases from various parties representing the government regarding plans to build the first nuclear fission reactor in Indonesia in the not too distant future. Reportedly there will be a large amount of additional energy supply planned (around 100 GW to be built in Indonesia within the coming decade). For this reason, the authors would like to invite readers to take a moment …

Legal Infrastructure For Inclusive Tech Development: Artificial Intelligence In The Global South, Jake Okechukwu Effoduh, Kingsley Eze, Victor Ufot

The Transnational Human Rights Review

Artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting economic and legal orders, yet its benefits and burdens remain unevenly distributed. This paper asks whether, and under what institutional and material conditions, the Global South can secure equitable participation in the AI economy. It advances a normative claim grounded in distributive justice, drawing on Rawls, the capabilities approach, and TWAIL critiques, arguing that bridging the AI divide is not a matter of charity but a duty of international cooperation under ICESCR Articles 2(1) and 15. Methodologically, the paper combines doctrinal analysis of international human rights law with comparative assessment across six constraint domains: energy, …

Covid-19 Pediatric Vaccine Authorization, Fda Authority, And Individual Misperception Of Risk, Joanna K. Sax, Neal Doran

Faculty Scholarship

Vaccines are one component to the public health strategies to alleviate the COVID-19 pandemic. Hesitancy regarding COVID-19 vaccines in the United States has been problematic, which is not surprising given increasing overall vaccine hesitancy in recent decades. Most vaccines are administered during childhood years. Consequently, understanding hesitancy toward administration of vaccines in this age group may provide insight into possible interventions to reduce vaccine hesitancy. The present study analyzed a subset of over 130,000 public comments posted in response to a notice of meeting of the vaccine advisory group to the Food and Drug Administration. The meeting addressed whether to …

Understanding Covid-19 Booster Hesitancy Amongst Those Experiencing Homelessness And Housing Instability, Kelsey Bas

Global Public Health | Student Research Posters

The COVID-19 vaccine had an efficacy of 80-90% against symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 infections in those who have completed the primary series of the vaccine. The booster vaccine restored infection protection with an efficacy of 75-85%.

California marks the highest rate of homelessness in the nation which was influenced by the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic also caused 17 million Californians (44%) who live in rented homes to be at risk for eviction moratoriums and rental assistance. Those experiencing homelessness and housing instability are at higher risk of contracting severe COVID-19 due to prior medical conditions, poor health status, and lack …

Interracial Friendships And Symptoms Of Depression And Anxiety Among College-Age Filipino Americans, Jenyse Rojo

Global Public Health | Senior Theses

Background: There is little research on interracial friendships and Filipino American mental health. A previous study found that Filipino Americans are more likely to be depressed and anxious when having 3 or more non-Filipino close friends, and that friendship discord mediated this relationship. Studies that look at Filipino American mental health have also found that there is a relationship between colonial mentality and depression. In this study, we further examine the relationship between depression and anxiety and interracial friendships. We also examine the relationship between colonial mentality and friendship discord.

Methods: This study’s sample is taken in the San Francisco …

The Need For Corporate Guardrails In U.S. Industrial Policy, Lenore Palladino

Seattle University Law Review

U.S. politicians are actively “marketcrafting”: the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act collectively mark a new moment of robust industrial policy. However, these policies are necessarily layered on top of decades of shareholder primacy in corporate governance, in which corporate and financial leaders have prioritized using corporate profits to increase the wealth of shareholders. The Administration and Congress have an opportunity to use industrial policy to encourage a broader reorientation of U.S. businesses away from extractive shareholder primacy and toward innovation and productivity. This Article examines discrete opportunities within the …

Establishing Recharge Rates In The High Plains Aquifer: Mapping, Precipitation Modeling, And An Evaluation Of The Chloride Mass-Balance Method, Arindam Mukherjee

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this dissertation, three studies related to understanding and predicting recharge are presented. First, geospatial techniques were used to identify potential groundwater recharge areas in the High Plains Aquifer. Second, a precipitation generator was developed to produce site specific synthetic precipitation series that depend on daily precipitation occurrences, particularly on the distribution of wet spells for sites to be used in numerical modeling. Third, the unsaturated flow code VS2DI was modified to allow the simulation of chloride accumulation from recharge, and this model was used to evaluate errors in the Chloride-Mass-Balance (CMB) method for estimating recharge due to heterogeneity.

Design Of Topical Ocular Drug Delivery Systems For Management Of Eye Keratitis, Chuntian Cai

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Due to the complexity of the anatomical and physiological barriers in the eye, ocular drug delivery presents significant challenges. The poor solubility of many drugs and short retention times on the ocular surface results in low bioavailability from traditional topical dosage forms. Various types of eye infections, such as bacterial keratitis (BK) and fungal keratitis (FK), can become critical and lead to serious visual disabilities. Therefore, this research study aims to enhance the solubility and corneal permeation of two drugs, Ciprofloxacin (CIP) for BK and the antifungal agent Natamycin (NT) for FK, using nanoemulsion (NE) and cyclodextrin (CD) based technologies.
