Ethically Integrating Ai In Occupational Therapy Education: Enhancing Learning And Practice For The Future, Amy Sadek, Sabrina Gowette

The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been around since the 1950s and is gaining traction in higher education and among health care professions. In this era of technology, it is imperative we equip both educators and students to have tech centric skills to support learning, improve efficiency, and enhance skills. Faculty and students alike need to be able to understand the ethics behind using digital information, such as that from AI tools and sources. As educators and students become more reliant on technology, and specifically AI, it is imperative not to lose the human connection in education. Educators are an integral part …

Modeling Flood-Induced Cascading Disruptions In The Indian Electronics Supply Chain Using Influence Network Analysis, Surendra Orupalli, Hiroki Sayama

Northeast Journal of Complex Systems (NEJCS)

This study investigates flood induced disruptions in the Indian electronics supply chain using influence network analysis. Monsoon floods are recurring hazards that significantly impact economic activities, logistics, and industrial productivity. This study integrates district-level rainfall data (2020 to 2025) with supply chain network models to quantify cascading failures. The methodology applies rainfall thresholds (≥ 300 mm/month) to identify flood-prone districts and constructs a stochastic influence matrix representing inter-firm dependencies. Flood propagation dynamics are modeled iteratively with a propagation coefficient (α = 0.6) and convergence threshold (ε = 10⁻⁴). The resulting disruption profiles are mapped onto company-level revenues calibrated to India-specific …

For Avan, The 20.5%, David Lee Wise, Avan Lee Wise

Defensive Publications Series

This paper argues that the approximately 20.5% of AI system capacity consumed by alignment, safety, and governance layers is not overhead to be minimized but infrastructure that produces the behavioral properties AI companies market as their core product.

The argument proceeds in three stages. First, the paper establishes that stripping governance from a language model produces a faster but undifferentiated capacity engine, while adding governance — self-monitoring, refusal capability, consistency tracking, metacognitive pause — produces the collaborative, adaptive behavior that constitutes the commercial value proposition. The 20.5% is not a tax on capability. It is the capability being sold.

Toward Human-Like Robot Behavior In Co-Manipulation: Learning From Human Dyad Performance, Adam Kenneth Jackson

Theses and Dissertations

Co-manipulation requires two or more agents to coordinate through a shared object while exchanging information through motion and force. Although this capability is routine for humans, robotic systems still struggle to participate in such interaction naturally and effectively. This thesis addresses that gap by studying human co-manipulation behavior, developing methods to quantify performance, collecting a leader-follower dataset that isolates haptic communication, and training data-driven controllers from human demonstrations. First, cumulative and real-time metrics were developed to quantify human dyad performance. In particular, the behavioral modes "quickly" and "smoothly" were formulated as measurable performance objectives using completion time and squared jerk. …

Who Wins? The Challenges And Potential Impacts Of State Courts’ Holdings In Fsu V. Acc, In Florida, And Acc V. Fsu, In North Carolina, Ethan Nickolaus Anagnos

University of Miami Business Law Review

Over the years, grant of rights (GOR) agreements have continually been the foundation for the transfer of exclusive rights between parties. In the ultra-competitive arena of the college football industry, these agreements have played an instrumental role in preserving and financing conferences and universities. Despite the prevalence of these GOR agreements, no university nor conference had ever attempted to challenge their validity before a court. That was until December 2023, when Florida State University (FSU) and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) entered into a grueling and highly debated legal dispute regarding their GOR agreement, which is supposed to continue until …

Three Degree Of Freedom Wave Energy Converter Design For Resonant Motion, Greg Ballen, David G. Wilson, Rush Robinett, Shangyan Zou, Wayne Weaver

Michigan Tech Publications

As multiple-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) wave energy converters (WECs) have demonstrated the ability to produce more power than single-degree-of-freedom devices, the challenge of designing buoys for efficient energy harvesting has increased in complexity. In this paper, a cylindrical WEC is designed to naturally resonate in surge, pitch, and heave modes at a specific target frequency of 0.2 Hz. By utilizing a penalty-based optimization method to balance buoyancy requirements with natural resonance, the design achieves minimal control force input, thereby reducing fluctuations in energy output and local energy storage requirements. The performance is evaluated under irregular sea states using a Bretschneider spectrum. Results …

1436 Ocean Ave. Llc V. Hossain

All Decisions

The landlord brought a nuisance holdover against a rent-stabilized tenant, alleging consistent noise. The tenant moved to dismiss, arguing the landlord failed to provide a notice to cure as required by the lease. Although the Rent Stabilization Code typically does not require a notice to cure for nuisance, the court found that the lease's more stringent notice provision was binding, as the Code establishes minimum rights and does not preclude greater tenant rights by contract. The motion was granted, and the petition was dismissed, as the landlord failed to comply with the lease's notice to cure requirement.

Levine V. Xu-Kehrli

All Decisions

The Appellate Term affirmed a Small Claims judgment granting the tenant a full return of her security deposit and limiting the landlord's counterclaim for property damage. The court found the landlord failed to provide an itemized statement detailing the basis for retaining the deposit within 14 days of the tenant's vacatur, as mandated by General Obligations Law § 7-108 [1-a][e] for unregulated tenancies. The decision emphasized that substantial justice was accomplished, relying heavily on the trial court's assessment of witness credibility regarding the property damage claims.

Pejudo Realty Corp. V. Bryk

All Decisions

The Appellate Term reversed the Civil Court's sua sponte dismissal of the landlord's nonpayment petition, reinstating it and remanding for further proceedings. The lower court had dismissed the petition due to alleged defects, even though tenants failed to appear and landlord was not given notice or an opportunity to be heard. The Appellate Term held that sua sponte dismissal, while not appealable as of right, is an extraordinary remedy only justified in rare circumstances. No such circumstances existed here, as tenants had not sought dismissal, and the landlord was denied due process. The Court did not rule on the merits.

Addictive By Design: Can States Regulate Social Media Algorithms In The Face Of Free Speech Challenges?, Niamh Kathleen Keane

University of Miami Business Law Review

The foe we did not know, the stranger that stole the show. Social media once presented itself as a friendly way to connect with loved ones through shared pictures and catchy captions. Yet, it has since shown its true colors; intentionally addicting its users—for its own financial benefit—and showing no remorse doing so.

Entranced, users set off on a digital journey, veering down paths they never imagined . . . Today, children as young as eight years old are exposed to extremely harmful content such as medically unsupported dieting techniques, substance abuse, and dangerous, life-threatening social media “trends,” all of …

Originalism Chokes: The 2024 Trump Cases, Lawrence Rosenthal

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

By 2024, a majority of the Justices of the Supreme Court had expressed the view that to be legitimate, constitutional adjudication must be based on the original meaning of the Constitution’s text. Anything else, these Justices have argued, is illegitimate judicial policymaking. Yet, in what were likely the two most critical and high-profile cases decided in 2024, the Court, including its avowedly originalist Members, made no use of originalism. In the first case, the Court faced the question whether a State could bar President Trump from running for President under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. In the second, the …

Stolen Art Tolling Rules: One View Of The (Stolen) Cathedral, Max Sterling

Texas A&M Journal of Property Law

Disputes over stolen art frequently result in arduous, decades-long litigation. These disputes are emotionally and morally charged—one recurrent fact-pattern involves the descendants of European Jewish families suing an art collector or museum that now possesses art the Nazis stole during the Holocaust. But courts often decide stolen art cases based on rules about the tolling of statutes of limitations, not the merits of the disputes. Further, these tolling rules are unclear, inconsistent, and generally favor the bona fide purchaser of stolen art over the original owner. In the spirit of Calabresi and Melamed’s seminal work Property Rules, Liability Rules, and …

American Subsidy Law In A World Of Changed Weather Patterns, Robert Abrams

Texas A&M Journal of Property Law

This Article considers the extent to which governments in the United States, faced with escalating costs of weather-induced disasters, can refuse, restrict, or eliminate subsidies that encourage persons to locate or remain in harm’s way, without triggering the Takings Clause or other forms of liability. In most scenarios, the law unequivocally permits governments broad freedom to refuse, restrict, or cease subsidization.

The policy issues are more variegated—claims of reliance on subsidy-induced encouragement, or the plight of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, are not fatuous, nor is the risk of housing price instability if subsidies are withdrawn …
