Diet: Another Piece Of The Crime Puzzle?, Jerrod Brown, Jeremiah Schimp, Leanne Skehan, Amanda Fenrich, Janina Cich

Nutritional Neurocriminology Today

An expanding body of research suggests that diet and nutrition may play an influential yet underrecognized role in problematic and criminal behaviors. This article synthesizes research linking excessive consumption of sugar and ultra-processed foods to adverse neurobehavioral outcomes, impaired impulse control, aggression, mood dysregulation, and sleep problems. Integrating research suggests that metabolic disruption, neuroinflammation, and gut–brain axis dysfunction may influence cognitive and emotional regulation. While criminal behavior is complex and multifactorial, this article emphasizes nutrition as a modifiable factor to inform forensic mental health practice, correctional policy, and rehabilitative strategies.

Long-Haul Vehicle With Railcar-Based Range Extender, Mordechai Teicher

Defensive Publications Series

A vehicle-on-railcar system is disclosed for long-haul railway transport, in which a railcar is equipped with a range-extending onboard battery. While an electric vehicle is mounted on the railcar, the railcar battery selectively supplies direct current power to the vehicle inverter, which converts the power to regulated alternating current for driving a railcar traction motor. By supplementing or replacing energy drawn from the vehicle battery, the railcar-based battery enables extended or non-stop long-haul operation without requiring intermediate vehicle charging stops or oversized vehicle batteries. Charging and energy replenishment are shifted to railcar-only operations within railway yards or sidings, improving vehicle …

Brief For Amici Curiae Immigration Law Scholars In Support Of Petitioner-Appellee, Supporting Affirmance, Lindsay Nash

Amicus Briefs

Amicus curiae brief filed by immigration law scholars, including Cardozo School of Law Professor Lindsay Nash, in Herrera Avila v. Bondi. The brief examines the scope of mandatory immigration detention under the Immigration and Nationality Act and argues that 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) applies to noncitizens seeking admission at the border rather than individuals apprehended within the interior of the United States.

Scholarly Articles

For decades, constitutional doctrine has recognized that children possess enforceable constitutional rights and that their developmental, physical, and social differences from adults are important considerations in constitutional analysis. Courts may not impute adult capacities, privileges, or political agency to children when determining whether their rights may be vindicated, leaving them no democratic mechanism to alleviate their injuries.

The district court’s dismissal of the youth plaintiffs’ claims rests on precisely that error. Although the court recognized that the children alleged concrete, severe, and escalating harms caused by the challenged executive actions, it concluded that relief must come from the political branches …

Fire Service Leadership Cost-Effective Strategies To Reduce Sudden Cardiac Death, Kathryn Marie Bernardo-Preston

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Abstract A high incidence of on-duty firefighter sudden cardiac death (SCD) results in increased costs and decreased organizational performance. Fire department leaders are concerned about the financial burden of SCDs as they put strain on departmental budgets and subsequently limit operational readiness. Grounded in transformational leadership theory, the purpose of this qualitative pragmatic inquiry project was to explore how fire department leaders used cost-effective strategies to reduce SCD episodes among on-duty firefighters. Participants comprised six fire department leaders located on the East Coast of the United States who had successfully implemented strategies to minimize firefighter SCD. Data were collected using …

Our Bodies Are Wild And Shimmering, Marcus O’Donnell Prof

Staff Scholarship - Australia & Dubai

The installation plays with the covering and uncovering of the saint’s body and the collision of the erotic and ecstatic in Christian iconography. Saints have always been active images –used to vividly imagine sacred narratives, to awaken emotions of love and devotion. However, the role of beauty, the body and the sensuous in this process is complex. In the history of art, we witness a desire to tread what Maya Corry calls the “line between licit and illicit loveliness,” which she acknowledges “was often so thin as to be indistinguishable”. Corry also shows that the will to embrace and navigate …

Defining And Evaluating Performative Activism: A Mixed Methods Approach, Caitlyn Renee Upton Massaro

Theses and Dissertations

Activism, specifically Performative Activism (PA), has been difficult to study due to its wide variation and individual complexity. Study 1, a qualitative exploration of PA, involved interviews with 9 individuals, who were highly variable on the ADDRESSING Framework, regarding their experiences with and opinions on PA. Study 1 used Reflexive Thematic Analysis to identify 6 behavioral markers of PA which were used to create a definition of Performative Activism based on the voices and opinions of diverse people in activist spaces. Study 2 was an ABA (test-retest) design using fictional scenarios to train participants to identify PA. Participants were 54 …

Resistance Is Not Futile: Rethinking Ethnicity, Tactics, And Outcomes In Civil Conflicts, Robert Bivens, Ches Thurber

All Faculty Scholarship

Recent studies have questioned whether nonviolent tactics can be effective for ethnic minorities. However, they often overlook multiethnic coalitions, shifts in campaign composition, and ethnicity’s parallel role in armed tactics. This paper reevaluates the relationship between ethnicity, tactics, and outcomesin civil conflicts. To do so,we introducenewdata on ethnic groups in contention that offer time-variant measures of the ethnic attributes of campaigns. We find that the effectiveness of nonviolent tactics for ethnic minorities depends on the point of comparison. Campaigns composed solely of excluded groups succeed less often than those made up entirely of privileged groups. However, minorities have still fared …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

BACKGROUND: In the assessment of coronary physiology, non-hyperemic pressure ratios (NHPRs) provide an alternative to fractional flow reserve (FFR) without the need for hyperemic agents, reducing procedural time, side effects, and costs. However, it remains unclear whether NHPRs have similar diagnostic performance in the different coronary arteries. This study evaluates the diagnostic performance of NHPRs compared with FFR, stratified by coronary artery, in stable patients with coronary artery disease.

METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and individual patient-level data meta-analysis from prospective studies involving patients with intermediate to severe coronary stenosis who underwent physiological assessment with NHPRs and FFR. NHPRs …

Wonderlands, The Reece Museum, East Tennessee State University

The Reece Museum Exhibition Publications

Wonderlands explores the intersection of tourism, religion, and folklore with natural beauty, preservation, and decay in southern Appalachia. The title of the series draws inspiration from novelist Charles Baxter’s collection of essays about fiction writing, Wonderlands: Essays on the Life of Literature, in which he describes settings that reflect a heightened psychological atmosphere in specific literary works. “Wonderlands are caused by, or are expressive of, emotional instability, estrangement, fantasy, and solitude,” Baxter writes.

The exhibition focuses on settings that evoke characteristics of wonderlands in counties of western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and southeastern Virginia. Roadside attractions, religious iconography, relics, …

Unraveling The Impact Of Heat Stress On Gut Microbiota In Broiler Chickens: A Bibliometric And Literature Review, Mohammed A. Almatary, Jamal Sabir, Sherif Edris, Ahmed Bahiedin

The Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Science

As climate change intensifies, heat stress poses a significant challenge to sustainable poultry production, threatening global food security and animal welfare. Broiler chickens, genetically selected for rapid growth and efficient feed conversion, are particularly susceptible to heat stress, which disrupts their physiological balance and impairs intestinal health. Although the role of gut microbiota in food metabolism and immune function is well-established, the impact of heat stress on microbial dynamics in broilers remains inadequately understood. This review synthesizes bibliometric and literature analyses to explore the current state of research on heat stress and gut microbiota in poultry. Data were systematically gathered …
