Revisiting A Flag Salute Case: The Law Of The State As Opposed To The Right Of Minority, Rosabella O. Nealega, Ailene C. Rosialda, Gerlie Caspe-Ogatis, Ana Marie J. Bautista

Social Sciences and Development Review

The state as an agent responsible to secure social order is oftentimes given high regard by its citizens based on the premise that it can also guarantee protection of rights through the formulation of laws that set legal boundaries in safeguarding the interests of the people. The state is the actual reality of an ethical idea according to some philosophers, like Hegel, because it is created with a noble purpose of upholding the common good of its subjects, the essence of which is to secure happiness and safety for all. Conflicts may, however, arise in occasions where individual rights run …

Digital Contact Tracing During The Sars-Cov-2 Pandemic, Erin Katherine Moran

Dissertations

Problem

Manual contact tracing (MCT) is considered an essential public health intervention for infectious disease control. During the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, there was insufficient funding or personnel to reduce transmission effectively. Throughout the pandemic, Missouri remained below the recommended contact tracing response rate (CRR) of 50%. One method used globally to aid in pandemic control was digital contact tracing (DCT); however, Missouri was unable to implement digital contact tracing due to barriers faced, which were not unique.

Methods

DCT was selected as subject of a strategic plan (SP) to augment MCT efforts. Other locales’ successes …

Studying Complex Aquifer Systems From Large-Scale Stratigraphy Development To Local Aquifer Storage And Recovery, Hamid Vahdat Aboueshagh

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Hydrostratigraphy model is an essential component of building valid groundwater models. Many challenges are associated with constructing hydrostratigraphy models which include geological complexities such as faults, domes, and angular unconformities. Developing a method with an emphasis on capturing big data to thoroughly inform large-scale models is one of the challenges addressed in the first part of this study. The method is predicated upon discretization of the study domain into tiles based on the geological dip direction and faults. The application of the method in the state of Louisiana with the utilization of more than 114000 well logs demonstrates promising results …

Probability Of Woody Debris Passage At Rock Weirs, Kathryn A. Margetts, B. M. Crookston

International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures

Often, large woody debris (LWD) at hydraulic structures is considered hazardous from a performance and public safety perspective. However, the sustainable management of rivers requires the consideration of ecological impacts of LWD such as cover for aquatics and the natural movement of LWD through a catchment. Therefore, this study explores the interaction of natural (nonuniform) LWD with rock weirs through field observations in the Blacksmith Fork River in Utah, USA and laboratory testing at the Utah Water Research Laboratory. The passage probability of individual LWD at rock weirs is observed and tested in an effort to describe the balance between …

Development Of Grass-Roots Data Collection Methods In Rural, Isolated, And Tribal Communities, Kevin Chang, Cody Hodgson

CSET Project Reports

While extensive procedures have been developed for the collection and dissemination of motor vehicle volumes and speeds, these same procedures cannot always be used to collect pedestrian data, given the comparably unpredictable behavior of pedestrians and their smaller physical size. There is significant value to developing lower cost, lower intrusion methods of collecting pedestrian travel data, and these collection efforts are needed at the local or “grass-roots” level. While previous studies have documented many different data collection methods, one newer option considers the use of drones. This study examined its feasibility to collect pedestrian data and used this technology as …

Bottleneck: The Place Of County Jails In California’S Covid-19 Correctional Crisis, Hadar Aviram

Hastings Journal of Crime and Punishment

This Article examines a lesser-known site of the COVID-19 pandemic: county jails. Revisiting assumptions that preceded and followed criminal justice reform in California, particularly Brown v. Plata and the Realignment, the Article situates jails within two competing/complementary perspectives: a mechanistic, jurisdictional perspective, which focuses on county administration and budgeting, and a geographic perspective, which views jails in the context of their neighboring communities. The prevalence of the former perspective over the latter among both correctional administrators and criminal justice reformers has generated unique challenges in fighting the spread of COVID-19 in jails: paucity of, and reliability problems with, data; weak …

Cyber Security For Microreactors In Advanced Energy Systems, Piyush Sabharwall, James Gibb, Christopher Ritter, Kathleen Araújo, Abhinav Gupta, Ian Ferguson, Bri Rolston, Ron Fisher, Jess Gehin, Youssef Ballout

CAES Energy Policy Institute Faculty Publications and Presentations

Demand for clean and resilient energy has led to new and advancing frontiers of energy development in nuclear technology, specifically in the development of microreactors. These miniaturised modular reactors are generally < 20 megawatts thermal (MWt) or 10 megawatts electric (MWe) and offer new opportunities to meet energy needs in remote locations and mobile operations. As with the slightly larger small modular reactors (< 300 MWe), microreactor development must demonstrate security and safety, as well as economic competitiveness, to be seen as potential opportunities for new applications. Current research focuses on passive safety features, capital costs, reliability, semi-autonomous or autonomous control, cyber informed design, digital twins and non-proliferation. This paper focuses specifically on microreactor cyber informed design and cyber risk. An overview of microreactor technology provides a basis for examining the cyber nuclear playing field, with an emphasis on the USA. Frameworks for evaluating cyber security threats, and thereby designing for them, are reviewed. Recommendations follow with ideas for future research.

Charting The Skies: Where Does Facial Recognition Technology "Fit" In The Data Privacy Cosmos?, Steven D. Zansberg

Notre Dame Journal on Emerging Technologies

What I offer below is a theoretical framework for evaluating competing societal interests: the value our society assigns to the free-flow of information to the public, including highly sophisticated computergenerated analyses of gargantuan data sets—information that helps inform better individual and collective decision-making; and on the other hand, the value we place on privacy even in the context of technological advances. One’s most personal actions and thoughts—what we type into search engines, which videos we watch, for how long or how often, which books or articles we read, with whom we communicate and the contents of those communications—should not be …

Cops In Scrubs, Ji Seon Song

Florida State University Law Review

An encounter with police often involves more than just the police officer and the individual person. This Article highlights one particular actor integral to police investigations: the medical professional. Medical professionals, whether they be physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, or other healthcare providers, become part of investigations in many ways. They notify police of crimes. They facilitate police questioning. They provide information gleaned from patient conversations, patient belongings, and their bodies. _The intertwined relationship between medical professionals and law enforcement is embedded in the legal and regulatory framework. A constellation of laws directs medical professionals to cooperate with law enforcement with …

The Impact Of Socioeconomic Status (Ses) On Cognitive Outcomes Following Radiotherapy For Pediatric Brain Tumors: A Prospective, Longitudinal Trial, Victoria A. Torres, Jason M. Ashford, Evelyn Wright, Jiahui Xu, Hui Zhang, Thomas E. Merchant, Heather M. Conklin

Faculty and Student Publications

Background: Socioeconomic status (SES) is a determinant of cognitive and academic functioning among healthy and ill children; however, few pediatric oncology studies examine SES and long-Term cognitive functioning. The current study systematically investigated SES as a predictor of cognitive outcomes among children treated for localized brain tumors (BT) with photon radiation therapy (RT). Methods: 248 children treated on a prospective, longitudinal, phase II trial of conformal RT (54-59.4 Gy) for ependymoma, low-grade glioma, or craniopharyngioma were monitored serially with cognitive assessments (intelligence quotient [IQ], reading, math, attention, adaptive function) for 10 years (2209 observations, median age at RT = 6.6 …
