Evaluation Of The Posterior Segment Of The Dromedary Camel’S Eye Using Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (Sd-Oct), Amine Berghiche, Djallal Eddine Rahmoun, Nassiba Reghaissia, Allaoua Chaouki Bentazir, Mohamed Kamal Merai Abdel Maksoud

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The dromedary camel possesses unique ocular adaptations enabling survival in harsh desert environments. This study aimed to characterize the posterior segment of the dromedary camel’s eye using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and fundus photography. Fourteen healthy adult camels were sedated and imaged. High-resolution OCT images enabled clear visualization and measurement of the retina, choroid, and sclera. The retina exhibited well-defined layers, including the retinal pigment epithelium, photoreceptor layer, plexiform layers, and nerve fiber layer. Mean thicknesses of the retina, choroid, and sclera were 267 ± 2.54 μm, 299 ± 3.15 μm, and 155 ± 2.74 μm in the right …

Cold War Origins: The Iron Curtain Descends, I. B. Landry

Bound Away: The Liberty Journal of History

The West’s policy of containment would come to define the early years of the Cold War. Rooted in the communist takeover of Russia following the First World War, Soviet aggression was fostered under the leadership of Stalin, who envisioned global domination under communism. Thus, while tensions came to a head following World War II, evidence for an eventual clash of ideologies can be seen in its preceding years.

Implementing Handwritten Notetaking : An Action Research Study Of Efl University Students’ Practices, Engagement, And Grammar Retention, Haifa Al-Amri

University of Bisha Journal for Educational Sciences

This paper reports on an action research study designed to enhance EFL university students’ grammar retention and increase their engagement through handwritten notetaking, while also examining their current notetaking practices. The study used a mixed-methods approach: The effect on grammar retention was assessed using a pre and post-test, while notetaking practices were assessed through analysis of students’ notes, and engagement was assessed through classroom observation and an open-ended questionnaire. The findings revealed that the intervention resulted in no statistically significant difference in the students’ grammar pre- and post-test scores. Furthermore, an examination of students’ notes revealed a deficiency in critical …

Students, Ai, And Scholarly Integrity: A Hermeneutic Phenomenology Of Postgraduate Research Practices In Saudi Higher Education, Maryam Jamal Alharthi

University of Bisha Journal for Educational Sciences

Background: This qualitative study explores how Master’s students in educational psychology at a Saudi university negotiate artificial intelligence AI use in research and coursework. Methods: The study adopted a hermeneutic phenomenological design, drawing on semi-structured interviews with seven eligible students in Medina, and analysed them thematically. The interpretive lens was informed by the Technology Acceptance Model/Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (perceived usefulness, ease of use, social influence), Bourdieu’s cultural capital (1977), and a sociocultural perspective (e.g., Vygotsky, 1978) on institutional norms. Findings: Five interconnected themes captured student engagement with AI: (1) patterns of use and functional perceptions, …

Mansion Markets: Re-Evaluating The Treatment Of Customs Unions In Antidumping Cases, Devin Humphreys

Mercer Law Review

Some customs unions look like glorified trade deals, while other customs unions look like nation‑states in the making. Since 1979, U.S. trade law has treated both kinds of customs unions the same, but this state of affairs ignores the variety of ways in which some (though not all) modern customs unions are remarkably economically integrated. Presidents from both parties have treated the European Union as a singular entity in regulating foreign trade with their Section 232 authority, and more recently, the current presidential administration has issued ad valorem tariffs against the European Union as a bloc. But due to a …

Marked For Prosecution: The Use Of Tattoo Recognition Technology In Criminal Trials And The Case For Evidentiary Limits, Marc Consalo

Mercer Law Review

In recent years, tattoos have taken on a new and largely overlooked role in our criminal trial system. Once viewed primarily as personal or cultural expression, tattoos are now treated by law enforcement as biometric data which can be analyzed, codified, and then searched by artificial intelligence (“AI”). Police departments and prosecutorial offices have begun using tattoo recognition software to identify suspects, assume gang membership, and establish guilt based on imagery or symbols. Yet, despite the rapid growth of this technology, its use in the courtroom has received almost no scholarly attention and even less judicial scrutiny.

Soil And Sovereignty: An Analysis Of Federal And State Laws Affecting Foreign Investment In U.S. Agricultural Land, Brantley Swindell

Mercer Law Review

Foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land has risen significantly in recent years. From 2014 to 2023, the share of agricultural acres owned by foreign interests increased by 67%. Although the share of agricultural acres owned by foreign countries and interests only amounts to just over 3% of the total U.S. private farmland, the U.S. federal government and many states have passed laws to prohibit, restrict, limit, regulate or create requirements for foreign ownership of agricultural land and real property. As of 2025, twenty nine states have passed laws to regulate such foreign ownership.

This Comment outlines the regulations on foreign …

Client Feedback Effects On Enjoyment, Motivation And Self-Efficacy In A Project-Based Learning Course, Krista Stacey, David M. Bourrie

University Faculty and Staff Publications

This paper reports a mixed-methods evaluation of how feedback/project source (faculty-led versus client-led) shapes student outcomes in a two-course undergraduate game and simulation development sequence (N = 29 across two academic years). Quantitative measures (enjoyment, intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy) were collected with a six-point Likert survey and analyzed, but due to small sample sizes were not used to empirically evaluate the constructs. Instead, qualitative data comprised of de-identified focus-group transcripts and open-ended survey responses were analyzed with a keyword-assisted codebook and manual validation. Year 1 (faculty feedback) exhibited more consistent post-course gains, especially in self-efficacy, while Year 2 (client feedback) produced …

Hold Your Horses: The Eleventh Circuit Recognizes A Direct Cause Of Action Under The Takings Clause In Fulton V. Fulton County Board Of Commissioners, Brock Gumbel

Mercer Law Review

“[No person shall be] deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” In just twelve words, the drafters of the Bill of Rights guaranteed property owners a significant protection. The Fifth Amendment Takings Clause is not an express ban on government takings. Rather, it guarantees that when the government takes property from private citizens, it must provide just compensation. Although this guarantee is generally well established, its enforcement in federal court introduces unique and significant challenges.

Plaintiffs must have a cause of action to invoke …

Engineering Human Microphysiological Models To Investigate Bacterial Extracellular Vesicle–Driven Endothelial And Blood–Brain Barrier Dysfunction, Louis P. Widom

Theses

Pathogenic bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are nanoscale particles derived from bacteria that contain pro-inflammatory cargo. During bacterial infections, BEVs provoke the host inflammatory response and may cause widespread damage. Furthermore, antibiotic treatment can boost BEV production and thereby increase the number of toxic signals traveling through the circulatory system. This is especially dangerous in brain blood vessels since evidence suggests that BEVs may destabilize the protective blood–brain barrier (BBB), resulting in neuroinflammation associated with cognitive decline and development of neurological disorders. Our understanding of BEV interactions with the host remains limited, necessitating the development of in vitro models to better …

Catching Up With The Constitution? Georgia Fixes Its Fatal Burden Of Proof For Findings Of Intellectual Disability In Capital Cases, Meagan R. Hurley

Mercer Law Review

In 1988, Georgia became the first state to prohibit the execution of individuals with intellectual disability—a landmark reform spurred by the execution of Jerome Bowden, a Black man with an IQ of 59. Yet, due to a drafting error, the statute imposed an insurmountable burden: requiring defendants to prove their intellectual disability beyond a reasonable doubt. For nearly four decades, that fatal flaw rendered Georgia’s protection illusory. Not a single capital defendant facing intentional murder charges prevailed. While nearly every other jurisdiction adopted the far more workable “preponderance of the evidence” standard, Georgia stood alone, out of step with both …

Stuck In The Waiting Room: Medina V. Planned Parenthood’S Restriction On The Enforcement Of Spending Statutes Through 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Rebekah Rooks

Mercer Law Review

42 U.S.C. § 1983 was originally enacted in response to Ku Klux Klan violence during the Reconstruction era that had gone largely unpunished in state courts. The statute granted individuals an alternative means to enforce their “rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws” in federal courts. What began as a lifeline for civil rights violations soon expanded to allow enforcement of all rights secured by federal and constitutional law. This broad interpretation of § 1983 language expanded the statute’s reach to include private enforcement of federal spending statutes against the states. The expansion ignited extensive debate over …
