Retention Strategies For Trained Criminal Investigators In The Jamaica Constabulary Force, Jacqueline Edwards-Blackwood

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) has been faced with the challenge of having their trained criminal investigators voluntarily leave. This study explored factors that could make these detectives leave the JCF and strategies to retain them. The job embeddedness theory was used to better understand the factors that would make these specialists stay in the JCF. A qualitative single case study design was employed using a purposive sample of 15 participants responding to an anonymous online qualitative survey using Google Forms and 15 redacted exit interview forms completed by former detectives. The survey utilized three closed-ended and 14 open-ended questions …

This study was conducted to focus on how they internalize their stressors. This generic qualitative study aimed to determine the perceptions of stressors experienced by rural volunteer emergency personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Distributed Secure System For Threads Detection In Crowded Environments Based On Biometric Facial Expression, Nourhan Zayed, Hassan I. Sayed, Ghada F. El-Kabbany

Mechanical Engineering

Ensuring security in crowded areas poses a significant problem due to the dense population and the intricate task of monitoring their behaviors. This research presents a real-time security system that utilizes facial expression analysis to identify potential threats. The technology utilizes sophisticated facial recognition and emotion detection techniques to accurately recognize emotions such as wrath, fear, and anxiety. These feelings can serve as indicators of suspicious activities or potential security risks. The system utilizes a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify facial expressions and recognize objects. In addition, it integrates an SVM classifier trained on features derived from the combined …

The purpose of this qualitative ethnographic study was to explore how reentry programs addressed the employment, education, and housing needs of ex-offenders transiting back into society. The …

Examining Wildfire Dynamics Using Ecostress Data With Machine Learning Approaches: The Case Of South-Eastern Australia's Black Summer, Yuanhui Zhu, Shakthi B. Murugesan, Ivone K. Masara, Soe W. Myint, Joshua B. Fisher

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Wildfires are increasing in risk and prevalence. The most destructive wildfires in decades in Australia occurred in 2019–2020. However, there is still a challenge in developing effective models to understand the likelihood of wildfire spread (susceptibility) and pre-fire vegetation conditions. The recent launch of NASA's ECOSTRESS presents an opportunity to monitor fire dynamics with a high resolution of 70 m by measuring ecosystem stress and drought conditions preceding wildfires. We incorporated ECOSTRESS data, vegetation indices, rainfall, and topographic data as independent variables and fire events as dependent variables into machine learning algorithms applied to the historic Australian wildfires of 2019–2020. …

Know Before You Go: How Did The Rise Of Wastewater-Based Surveillance During The Covid-19 Pandemic Change The Privacy Of Today's Public In The United States, And Is Government Action Ethically Necessary?, Elizabeth St. Hilaire

Saint John’s Preparatory School Student Work

The Covid-19 pandemic changed the world in a number of ways. One of the most drastic changes took place in government handling of public health. Because of the extremely short timeframe in which policy makers needed to make decisions, wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) became imperative to understanding the spread of Covid-19. As the world recovers from the pandemic, WBS is still being utilized, although for different purposes. Substance use, the spread of other diseases, and even specific genetic information can all be tracked through wastewater, leaving a series of moral questions up for debate. Although WBS is still a relevant asset …

Guns And The Right To Exclude: Saving Gunsat-Work Laws From Cedar Point’S Per Se Takings Rule, Tom Malaga Kadie

University of Chicago Law Review

The Supreme Court’s decision in Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid has left considerable uncertainty in the realm of takings law. In Cedar Point, the Court announced a new rule that government-authorized physical occupations of property, even temporary ones, constitute per se takings. But the Cedar Point decision left significant questions unresolved regarding the scope of its per se takings rule and its various exceptions.

To resolve these questions, this Comment looks to the example of guns-at-work laws. Enacted by about half of the states, guns-at-work laws protect the right of a business’s employees, customers, and invitees to store firearms in …

Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky Faculty Publications

Lithium-ion batteries are a critically important technology for maintaining grid reliability with the integration of variable intermittent renewable energy resources. However, lithium-ion batteries also pose significant human safety and infrastructure hazards due to the inherent risk of thermal runaway, fire, and explosion, which should be understood, mitigated, and managed. While battery manufacturers have primary responsibility for the design, manufacturing, and software which are necessary to keep battery storage systems safe, electric utilities also have an important role in understanding these risks and adopting best practices to mitigate them. This paper provides background on utility-scale battery deployment, an overview of a …

Is Sunlight The Best Disinfectant? The Role Of Regulation In Addressing Cybersecurity Concerns, Reagan Leverett

Vanderbilt Law Review

The technological landscape in the United States is changing rapidly, and this transformation carries with it unprecedented challenges for administrators, companies, and investors alike. In particular, cybersecurity concerns are growing in light of the new opportunities for cyber malfeasance in this landscape—opportunities to pillage corporate databases and exploit the sensitive consumer information housed therein. For administrators, these new threats challenge prevailing regulatory frameworks and demand novel solutions. For companies, this landscape brings financial and reputational threats. For stakeholders, the cyber era presents the risk of investment losses and, in some cases, loss of personal data.
