When The Second Amendment Meets The Third Dimension: Bruen In The Age Of 3d-Printed Firearms, Andrew Touma

Duke Journal of Constitutional Law & Public Policy Sidebar

3D-printed firearms pose a serious threat to the public by allowing individuals to circumvent traditional regulatory safeguards. Although the first shot from a 3D-printed firearm was over a decade ago, these weapons continue to exploit gaps in the federal regulatory scheme. In the meantime, state governments have adopted a variety of approaches to regulating 3D-printed firearms. As 3D printing pushes firearms technology into the future, the Supreme Court's decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass'n v. Bruen directs Second Amendment doctrine to look to history, leaving questions over whether a decidedly historical methodology could effectively adapt to technological …

No Cuts: How Hayao Miyazaki Highlights The United States’ Inadequacy In Protecting Foreign Authors’ Integrity, Bridget Johns

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

Although the United States joined the Berne Convention in 1989, U.S. copyright law reflects a restricted approach to moral rights protection. Unlike many Berne signatories, the U.S. largely frames copyright as an economic right rather than as a way to protect artistic integrity. Japanese law, by contrast, treats moral rights as central to creative work protections, emphasizing the importance of the work’s dignity and author’s intent. This incongruity has significant consequences in the globalized era, particularly when foreign works are distributed within the U.S. Weak statutory moral rights protections leave authors vulnerable to misattribution and distortion without meaningful recourse. This …

What The Court Tells Reporters: A Discourse Analysis Of Press Interviews With The Justices Since 2000, Brown James

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

The Supreme Court of the United States is among the most influential institutions in American life, yet it is also well known to be one of the most secluded and inaccessible. By and large, the justices only pass their thoughts and decision-making processes to the public via their official written opinions, and seldom grant interviews to reporters. General press coverage of the Court has been given considerable scholarly attention, but the limited interviews the justices grant to the press receive comparatively little attention. This article examines those interviews by analyzing 82 press interviews with active and retired justices from 2000 …

Exploring Black, Indigenous, And Other People Of Color’S Opinions, Experiences, And Breadth Of Knowledge On Indigenous Psychedelic Healing Methods For Mental Health In The United States, Daiyah Lanae Williams

ETD Collection

Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) is gaining increased attention for its potential to address mental health concerns; however, little is known about how Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) perceive psychedelic medicine within the sociocultural realities that shape their mental healthcare experiences. The current study examined attitudes toward and willingness to use psychedelic medicine for mental health among BIPOC adults in the U.S., including investigating how attunement to spirituality/transcendence, meaningful exposure to prior psychedelic experiences, medical mistrust, and importance of identity concordance with providers contribute to these attitudes and willingness. Fifty participants were recruited to complete an online survey with …

The Relationship Between Parental Intrinsic Emotion Regulation And Extrinsic Child-Focused Emotion Regulation On Parent Stress, Leigh M. Richards

ETD Collection

Parenting stress is a significant public health concern, which research indicates is closely tied to parents’ emotional regulation capacities. Parents must manage their emotions (intrinsic regulation) while guiding their children’s emotional development (extrinsic child-focused emotion regulation). Research has examined these components independently but there is little empirical work exploring how a parent’s intrinsic emotion regulation capabilities and extrinsic child-focused emotion regulation capabilities jointly relate to their stress. The purpose of this present study was to examine how parents’ ability to regulate their own emotions and respond to their child’s emotions relates to their parenting and general stress. Specifically, this study …

Dying To Be Heard: The Power Of Words In The Lived Experience Of “Severe And Enduring Anorexia Nervosa”, Limor Weinstein

ETD Collection

Anorexia nervosa, especially when it lasts for several years, is one of the most challenging illnesses to treat and has a high mortality rate. Despite advancements in treatment and care, over 25% of individuals with severe and enduring anorexia nervosa do not fully recover, with many continuing to live with the illness for many years, often facing serious consequences such as disability, early death, or suicide. This Heideggerian phenomenological study explores the lived experiences of individuals who have been diagnosed with anorexia nervosa for over seven years, with a specific focus on communication and messages received, related to the illness …

Dilemma Of Food Safety Information Release In The Protection Of Consumer Rights And Interests, Kong Fei

Food and Machinery

From the perspective of consumer rights protection, and in light of the existing institutional mechanisms and practical conditions in the field of food safety, this study finds that the current release of food safety information faces several dilemmas, including insufficient transparency in government food safety information disclosure systems, relatively single channels for information dissemination, and a relatively lagging public opinion monitoring system. In response to these dilemmas, solutions can be proposed from three distinct dimensions. First, enhancing the transparency of the government food safety information release system, namely by clearly defining the responsibilities of various departments and enriching the types …

[Objective] To explore the effect of different addition amounts of salted egg white on the quality and sensory characteristics of noodles, thereby utilizing the rich protein resource in salted egg white. [Methods] Noodles are prepared by incorporating salted egg white at levels of 0, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% (w/w, based on flour weight). Then, the noodles are evaluated by protein content, color, rheological properties, texture properties, broken rate, and sensory characteristics. [Results] Salted egg white addition significantly increases the system's protein content. At 20% addition, noodles exhibit optimal comprehensive quality: lowest cooking broken rate (6.7%), best textural properties (hardness, …

Research Progress On Detoxification And Degradation Technologies For Mycotoxins In Grains, Liang Xuexue, Zhang Yani, Luo Shan, Li Yongjun, Sun Jianyun

Food and Machinery

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi during their growth. Widely observed in grains and feeds, these toxins pose a significant threat to both human and animal health, resulting in substantial economic losses. Therefore, this paper systematically reviews the principles, application effects, advantages, and disadvantages of mainstream detoxification and degradation technologies, including physical detoxification methods (heat treatment, radiation, adsorption, low-temperature plasma, and photocatalysis), chemical detoxification methods (ammonia treatment, fumigation, and ozonation), as well as biodegradation methods (microbial adsorption, microbial degradation, and enzymatic degradation). It specifically introduces the breakthroughs of new technologies such as low-temperature plasma, novel nano-adsorbent materials, and high-temperature …

Development Paths Of Holistic Regional Public Brand For Agricultural Products Based On Four-Tier Collaborative Mechanism, He Jie, Huang Weisu, Tang Guizhen, Wan Jin, Peng Jinyan, He Guoqing, Lu Baiyi

Food and Machinery

Considerable progress has been made in the research and construction of regional public brands for agricultural products. After experiencing several models such as the three-tier structure of "city, county, and enterprise", a brand structure based on the four tiers of "city, county, town, and enterprise" has emerged, and it has further evolved into a holistic regional public brand model that encompasses multiple industrial elements such as agriculture, light industry, cultural tourism, health care, and cultural creativity. However, during the development process, there are still problems such as inter-level and intra-level resource incoordination among brands at all levels, as well as …

In this thesis, I will explore a wide range of young adult fiction novels that feature themes surrounding activism. My goal will be to use a number of novels to illustrate the importance of analyzing literature that features young people as activists within social justice movements. My main overarching question is: How are young people represented as activists in young adult literature, and how can young people use such literature as a catalyst for social change? I also plan to explore questions relating to how young people are represented as activists, why their voices are so integral when promoting social …

Re-Imagining The Rimac River: Designing With Mythology, Ecology, And Community, Rodrigo Carbajal

Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year

The Rímac River sustains Lima, yet the city has treated it more like an edge condition than a living system. Its water moves through the metropolis as a source of life, but its presence is buried behind concrete walls, traffic corridors, pollution, and fragmented access. Over time, the river has been reduced to a controlled channel, stripped of the cultural and spatial relationships that once connected it to everyday life. This thesis begins with that contradiction: the Rímac remains vital to Lima’s survival, but has been pushed out of the city’s public imagination. This project argues that the river’s current …

Between Tents And Concrete: Rethinking Displacement Space In Haiti, Korine Dorval

Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year

Haiti is not an anomaly; it is a case study. Since the 2010 earthquake, displacement has not resolved but compounded, layered beneath successive crises of political instability, gang violence, and natural disaster. As of 2025, 1.4 million people remain without homes, many of them inheriting a life between tents and concrete that was never meant to last this long. Yet responses remain trapped in the logic of emergency. To live between tents and concrete is to exist in suspended uncertainty where children grow up without an address and community forms despite the design, not because of it. These camps were …

Architecture Of Sobriety: Redesigning Rehabilitation Centers Beyond The Institutional Framework, Coraima Perez-Portillo

Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year

What if alcohol relapse is not only a weakness of will, but a failure of the environment? Addiction recovery is often understood as a clinical process, yet sustained sobriety depends equally on the reorganization of daily habits. Research on alcohol use disorders demonstrates that addictive behaviors are reinforced through spatial triggers and embodied routine. Post-detox recovery is particularly fragile: the body is sober, but the triggers that sustained addiction remain. The question is not only how to treat addiction, but how to design the spaces in which people learn to live without it.

Anti-Gang Architecture: Youth, Labor, And Spatial Agency In Mexico, Arturo Resendiz

Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year

Anti-Gang Architecture: Youth Labor, & Spatial Agency in Mexico

In many parts of the world, teenagers face environments shaped by violence, drug abuse, and limited opportunity. The absence of inclusive communities deepens youth disconnection, leaving them vulnerable to harmful influences. This research explores how architectural qualities can create spaces that protect, inspire, and connect with Mexican youth, specifically in cities like Matamoros, Tamaulipas, where public space has lost its capacity to support safe youth development.

The central question guiding this research is: How can architecture create environments that inspire youth identity, develop creativity, and offer alternatives to violence and drug …

Addressing The Abandoned Typology Of Mills, Terra M. Castresana

Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year

As anthropologists have shown, rivers are foundational to the creation of human settlement, and many cities design their urban fabric to interact with their respective rivers. Despite the scale of the Chattahoochee River, however, a typical visitor of Atlanta might not see the river as it is covered with highways and other infrastructures. Since the inception of colonial Atlanta as a railroad town in the nineteenth century, the urban design deviated from having the rivers be central to the city’s evolution as scholarship shows. Despite this structural arrangement, there was still an existing relationship with its rivers when waterways, most …

Synthergy: Social Deduction And Deception In Llm-Powered Agents, Lauren Campbell, Andrew Forney

Honors Thesis

Synthergy is an online social deduction game designed to enable comparative analysis of how large language model-powered agents engage in social deduction and deception under conditions of asymmetric information. Inspired by social deduction games such as Town of Salem, Throne of Lies, and Mafia, the game consists of two factions, Harmony and Discord, to which agents are secretly assigned. Agents must infer others’ affiliations through dialogue, in-game abilities, and voting behavior. To evaluate agent behavior, we conducted 100 simulated games across six agent types: a random baseline agent (RandomSynth), an LLM-based agent (Synth), a chain-of-thought agent (CoT Synth), a Bayesian …

Adaptive Two-Derivative Runge–Kutta–Nyström Method With Trigonometric Fitting Approach, Nur Nabila Huda, Khai Chien Lee, Nurul Huda Abdul Aziz

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A fifth-order trigonometrically-fitted explicit two-derivative Runge–Kutta–Nyström method with an adaptive step size strategy, denoted as ATFRKN5, is proposed for efficiently solving second-order ordinary differential equations of the form u^″(x) = f(x, u(x)) that exhibit oscillatory behavior. The order conditions of the method are derived using Taylor series expansion, enabling the construction of two-derivative Runge–Kutta–Nyström schemes up to orders four and five. Trigonometric fitting is applied by incorporating the basis functions e^iλx and e^−iλx, λ ∈ ℝ, allowing the method to adapt naturally to problems with dominant frequencies. …

On Sequences Arising From The Action Of Modular Group, Tuncay Köroğlu, Bahadir Özgür Güler

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper examines the sequences produced by the natural action of specific elements of the modular group on extended rational numbers. The polynomial sequences Pr(c) and Qr(c) are derived from the orbit of the point at infinity under a specific modular transformation. These sequences satisfy linear recurrence relations, which are analyzed using generating functions. The polynomials encode k-Fibonacci numbers, and studying their behavior modulo a fixed integer m reveals notable arithmetic and combinatorial properties. We also explore the connection between these modular actions and Farey graphs, illustrating the hyperbolic transformations as nested geodesic paths in the upper half-plane.

A Module Theoretic Approach To (B,C)-Invertibility, Tuğba Pakel, Burcu Üngör, Handan Köse, Sai̇t Halicioğlu, Abdullah Harmanci

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we introduce and investigate the concept of an (r, f)-inverse in the context of modules, drawing inspiration from the (b, c)-inverse, which is the analogous notion in ring theory. We demonstrate the uniqueness of (r, f)-inverses in modules whenever they exist. We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of (r, f)-inverses in modules.

Existence Results And Uniqueness For Some Caputo-Hadamard Fractional Differential Equations Via The Measures Of Noncompactness, Manochehr Kazemi, Mohammad Esmael Samei, Hamid Reza Sahebi, Osman Tunç

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, the existence of solutions to Caputo–Hadamard fractional differential equations is investigated using measures of noncompactness and the Petryshyn fixed point theorem. Several new results are established, recovering certain earlier results under weaker conditions. Finally, two illustrative examples are presented.
