A Proposed Secure Video Using Lightweight Chacha20 Based On Chaotic Map, Hadeel Mohammed Taher, Ali Makki Sagheer

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

Multimedia content has become a necessary part of our daily lives in many domains, including medical imaging, surveillance, and entertainment. Among all multimedia categories, video is mainly critical because of its high content density and large size. For that, ensuring the security of video has become a necessity for transmission and storage. This paper proposed an enhancement to the Chacha algorithm integration with a hybrid chaotic map for generating keys to secure video. The main motivation for the selection ChaCha algorithm is that it is fast, simple, and appropriate for widespread applications, whereas the motivation for using chaos is to …

We also sought to characterize knowledge gaps among general pediatrics (GP) residents. Materials and Methods: A scenario-based survey to assess patterns of diagnosis and management of new-onset CDI that was distributed to PCCM, PE and GP clinicians who work in a quaternary care urban children’s hospital. Results: Of 275 PCCM, PE and GP clinicians …

This requires Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) physicians to have comprehensive training and experience with various modes. We sought to assess and describe the current landscape of MV practices and training from PCCM fellowship programs. Methods: To describe current MV practices and training in PCCM fellowship programs and assess the different modes of MV to which trainees are exposed, a piloted survey was sent to …

An Exception To Prove The Rule: Rebutting The Presumption Of A Consistent And Definitive Construction, Miles C. Skedsvold

Mercer Law Review

Because the State of Georgia has had ten constitutions since declaring independence from Great Britain, the history of those prior constitutions has a lot to do with understanding the Constitution in force today. In particular, when a provision is carried forward from one constitution to the next without material change, the Supreme Court of Georgia’s decisions interpreting that provision under an earlier constitution can be a key piece of evidence for understanding its meaning in the later one.

The Supreme Court of Georgia calls this piece of the historical inquiry the presumption of a consistent and definitive construction: the provision …

Georgia's Best Friend, Harold D. Melton

Mercer Law Review

“Chief Justice Michael Boggs is one of my very best friends in life,” say people all over the great State of Georgia, including me. Rare is the man who has such a clear sense of purpose and who derives so much joy in being a true friend to the people around him. And by that, I refer to his tight-knit inner circle and the broader community at large: his wife, his immediate family, his extended family, his local community, his legal community, and also the people who make Georgia their home.

The Right To Keep And Bear Arms In Georgia, John R. Monroe

Mercer Law Review

This Article provides a survey of the right to keep and bear arms in Georgia as it has developed from colonial times to the present. While this Article is not about the Second Amendment, references to that amendment cannot be avoided because the two are intertwined.

These periods include Colonial, Antebellum, Civil War years, Reconstruction and late nineteenth century, early twentieth century, and finally …

Torts, Kelly Cahill Timmons

Mercer Law Review

2024–2025 was a big year for tort law in Georgia, particularly on the legislative side. Governor Brian Kemp achieved his primary goal for the 2025 legislative session, working with the Georgia General Assembly to enact significant tort reform measures. These measures change Georgia law on the collateral source rule, the relevance of seatbelt evidence, and—most notably—in the area of negligent security. All of these changes benefit tort defendants. The Supreme Court of Georgia also made its mark on tort law during the Survey period, deciding several cases involving the liability of professionals and adopting rules that— more often than not—benefited …

Insurance, Jessica M. Phillips, Rebecca E. Strickland, Kori E. Wagner

Mercer Law Review

During this Survey period, the courts in Georgia issued several meaningful decisions in the area of insurance. In the first party context, the court reinforced its disfavor for litigants taking inconsistent legal positions to their benefit by reinforcing the robust application of the doctrine of judicial estoppel. In addition, Georgia courts revisited the propriety of the manner in which an insurance carrier evaluates actual cash value for the purposes of determining recovery for diminution in value in property claims involving damage to automobiles. Finally, courts expanded the ability of plaintiffs to recover damages for claims other than breach of contract …

A Return To Roots: Guy V. Housing Authority Of Augusta And The Revival Of Common Law Sovereign Immunity, Macyn L. Nasser

Mercer Law Review

In late 2021, a shooting at a housing complex reignited a centuries-old question: when may a municipality claim the sovereign’s shield? In Guy v. Housing Authority of the City of Augusta (“Guy II”), the Supreme Court of Georgia vacated a court of appeals decision that had analogized a housing authority to a state agency and thus found it immune from suit. In its decision, the supreme court explained that such questions must be resolved by examining whether the entity would have been immune under English common law as it existed in 1776. The case was remanded for the lower court …

I Can’T Even With This Thesis: A Syntactic And Pragmatic Analysis, Ester Luna

Yale Working Papers in Grammatical Diversity

This project focuses on the construction I can’t even, a sentence coined in the early 2000s that expresses a speaker’s strong emotion to the point where they are lost for words. The most typical emotion conveyed using I can’t even is exasperation, as in example (1), but it can also be an indication of extreme happiness, like in (2).

• (1) He tried to get my number AGAIN. I can’t even.
• (2) You came all the way from New York to watch me perform? I can’t even.

While the modal can and the adverb even normally require the …

How Design Law Is Taking Shape In The United States And European Union, Christine Haight Farley

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This Essay uses a comparative framework to show that sophisticated design rights holders in both the United States (U.S.) and the European Union (EU) increasingly sidestep specialized design regimes in favor of more expansive trademark and copyright doctrines. Although both jurisdictions now operate cumulative intellectual property (IP) systems for industrial design, they have taken sharply divergent paths in confronting the proliferation of “design dupes”—replicas that trade on the appeal of sought-after designs. In the United States, rights holders rely chiefly on trademark law, and especially trade dress, to convert cultural recognition into legally cognizable source indication, a move facilitated by …
