Fixing The Dent: How Nfl Owners Closed The Door To Civil Common Law Liability, Zachary Okun

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

With a new, eleven-year Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) upon us, this paper will discuss in Section II what a CBA is, the purpose CBAs serve, and the function and historical treatment of the NFL’s CBA by the courts. Section II will also explain the NFL arbitration process, the reason the NFL fights so hard to enforce arbitration, and why the players should have been more cognizant of the provisions within the CBA which act to insulate the NFL and its Clubs from common law tort liability. Section III will discuss the NFL’s historical reliance of the LMRA §301 preemption defense; …

Designing Responsive Legal Systems: A Comparative Study, Nofit Amir, Michal Alberstein Jun 2022

Designing Responsive Legal Systems: A Comparative Study, Nofit Amir, Michal Alberstein

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

The drive for efficiency has caused many legal systems to redesign themselves, creating multiple paths for dispute resolution and incorporating settlement-promoting tools into the judicial role. However, as this study shows, legal systems have taken divergent approaches as they redesign themselves to accommodate settlement practices, leading to widely disparate results. This study probes the paths taken by three countries’ legal systems—England and Wales (common law), Israel (mixed), and Italy (continental law)—drawing on court docket analyses, courtroom observations, and interviews with judges in the three legal systems. It uncovers central points of divergence—emphasized stage of dispute resolution, separation vs. combination of …

External Factors And Economic Growth In Tunisia: Ardl Approach With Structural Change Analysis, Saif Eddine Ayouni, Ramzi Farhani, Mekki Hamdaoui

Arab Economic and Business Journal

This paper examined the effect of external factors on economic growth in Tunisia. The economic analysis was carried out using recent quantitative technique of annual time series data from 1976 to 2017. Based on co-integration test with unknown structural breaks and ARDL bound testing we investigated importance of each factor in stimulating economic growth. Our results show that in the long-run FDI does not affect economic growth. Remittances and imports negatively affect economic growth. Exports promote economic growth such that a 1% increase stimulates economic activity by 0.702%. In the short term, our estimates emphasize a structural break in 1988 …

The Effects Of Religious Freedom Laws On Employment , Small-Minority-Owned Businesses And Minority Populations, Carl Enomoto, Jazmine Brantley, Sajid A. Noor

Southern University College of Business E-Journal

Twenty states have now passed religious freedom laws to protect religious practices and beliefs. While many individuals and groups believe these laws are necessary to protect them from government intervention that may take away their rights, there are others who fear that these laws can be used by businesses to discriminate against the LGBT community in the name of religion. In a recent case in Indiana, several large corporations voiced their dissent over the state’s impending religious freedom law, causing the Governor to sign a new version of the bill. The purpose of this paper is to determine how these …

Doctors And Disability: Improving Inclusion In Medical Education, Mary Alice Keller Jun 2022

Doctors And Disability: Improving Inclusion In Medical Education, Mary Alice Keller

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Disability is extremely common in the United States with 26% of adults identifying as having some type of disability. Oftentimes, people with disabilities need to access health care services frequently in order to receive adequate care and support. However, despite this need, medical students receive limited, if any, education about people with disabilities and how to appropriately provide medical care and interact with them. This lack of education exacerbates health care disparities experienced by people with disabilities. This article highlights these disparities as well as the history of disability and health care. Current advancements in medical education regarding people with …

The Impact Of Covid-19 In The Latinx Community, Laura Pedraza, Ricardo Villela, Vikki Kamatgi, Kaitlyn Cocuzzo, Ricardo Correa, Miriam Zylberglait Lisigurski

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the existing health and social disparities that affect minority groups in the United States (US), including the Latinx community. This situation has been reflected in many aspects of health, including increased morbi-mortality and reduced adherence to medical and scientific recommendations. Limited access to health care, financial challenges, migrant status, and health literacy, or lack thereof, have all hampered the Latinx community's ability to seek aid quickly and to be tested or treated effectively for this disease. This pandemic has shown that the Latinx community's socioeconomic status correlates with greater mortality rates when compared to other …

E Pluribus, Quaedam. Gross Domestic Product Out Of A Dashboard Of Indicators, Mattia Guerini, Fabio Vanni, Mauro Napoletano Jun 2022

E Pluribus, Quaedam. Gross Domestic Product Out Of A Dashboard Of Indicators, Mattia Guerini, Fabio Vanni, Mauro Napoletano

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

Is aggregate income enough to summarize the well-being of a society? We address this longstanding question by exploiting a novel approach to study the relationship between gross domestic product (GDP) and a set of economic, social and environmental indicators for nine developed economies. By employing dimensionality reduction techniques, we quantify the share of variability stemming from a large set of different indicators that can be compressed into a univariate index. We also evaluate how well this variability can be explained if the univariate index is GDP. Our results indicate that univariate measures, and GDP among them, are doomed to fail …

Journal of Economics, Management and Agricultural Development

A co-operative is a member-centered association of individuals with the goal of advancing their economic and social interests.

The Role Of Microglia In Neuroinflammation Of The Spinal Cord After Peripheral Nerve Injury, Tana S. Pottorf, Travis M. Rotterman, William M. Mccallum, Zoë A. Haley-Johnson, Francisco J. Alvarez Jun 2022

The Role Of Microglia In Neuroinflammation Of The Spinal Cord After Peripheral Nerve Injury, Tana S. Pottorf, Travis M. Rotterman, William M. Mccallum, Zoë A. Haley-Johnson, Francisco J. Alvarez

Neuroscience, Cell Biology & Physiology Faculty Publications

Peripheral nerve injuries induce a pronounced immune reaction within the spinal cord, largely governed by microglia activation in both the dorsal and ventral horns. The mechanisms of activation and response of microglia are diverse depending on the location within the spinal cord, type, severity, and proximity of injury, as well as the age and species of the organism. Thanks to recent advancements in neuro-immune research techniques, such as single-cell transcriptomics, novel genetic mouse models, and live imaging, a vast amount of literature has come to light regarding the mechanisms of microglial activation and alluding to the function …

Indonesian Notary

This research is an analysis of the procedure of making a marriage agreement based on the applicable laws and regulations. Since the enactment of the Constitutional Court Decision No. 69/PUU-XIII/2015, in order for a marriage agreement to be valid between the parties and related third parties, it must be made in the form of a notarial deed followed by a registration to the marriage registrar. However, the judge in Decision No. 59/Pdt.G/2018/PN Bgr acknowledges the existence of a marriage agreement which is a privately made deed and states that there is no joint property between the couple. This study is …

Is Public Corruption Still A Crime? The Effect Of Mcdonnell Narrowing Test, Kristine Artello Jun 2022

Is Public Corruption Still A Crime? The Effect Of Mcdonnell Narrowing Test, Kristine Artello

Journal of Criminal Justice and Law

The Supreme Court has been limiting the types of public corruption crimes since the 1990s. In 2016, the Supreme Court found that the jury instructions defined official acts too broadly and narrowed its definition significantly in McDonnell v. U.S. The Court created a two-part test to differentiate acts to help one’s constituency versus acts to help oneself because the Court was concerned with the criminalization of politics. From the ruling to March 2019, the federal courts have cited the McDonnell ruling in 151 decisions. These cases were collected and examined using context analysis to understand (in)actions of public officials that …

Journal of Economics and Administrative Sciences

The general trend in Iraqi banks is focused towards the application of international financial reporting standards, especially the international financial reporting standard IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, in addition to the directives issued on the Central Bank of Iraq’s instructions for the year 2018 regarding the development of expected credit losses models, and not to adhere to a specific method for calculating these losses and authorizing the banks’ departments to adopt the method of calculating losses that suits the nature of the bank’s activity and to be consistent in its use from time to time.

The Immorality Of Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude: Evaluating The Eighth Circuit’S Split In Bakor V. Barr, Emma Franklin Jun 2022

The Immorality Of Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude: Evaluating The Eighth Circuit’S Split In Bakor V. Barr, Emma Franklin

Nebraska Law Review

Alex failed to register his car, Pilar failed to renew his broker license, Juan failed to register as a sex offender, and all three noncitizens have been convicted of one previous crime. Each of these registration failures flow from dramatically different legal requirements and serve different purposes, but they share a common characteristic. All three legal missteps are based on administrative registration obligations promulgated by a governmental entity. Indeed, the failure to register as a sex offender may accompany more ethical and moral intimations, but the act of failing to register as a sex offender is not itself clearly evil …

“Gahum, Kahimtangan, Kag Bugal”: Isang Alternatibong Pagbasa Sa Maagang Kasaysayan Ng Misyong Baptist Sa Pilipinas, 1898–1922, Kristoffer R. Esquejo

Malay Journal

Layunin ng papel na ito na maghain ng isang bagong pagpapakahulugan hinggil sa pananaw ng mga Pilipinong Bisaya kung bakit nila tinanggap, niyakap, at itinaguyod ang pananampalatayang Baptist noong unang dalawang dekada ng ika-20 dantaon. Gamit ang “kaloobang-bayan” bilang alternatibong lente sa kasaysayan, makikitang umakma ang mga layunin ng itinaguyod na “Social Gospel” ng Misyong Baptist mula sa Estados Unidos sa tatlong halagahin ng lipunang Bisaya. Dahil sa mga ipinatayong iglesya, paaralan, at ospital sa Kanlurang Bisaya, partikular sa Iloilo at Capiz, unti-unting nakamtan ng mga katutubo ang “gahum” (kapangyarihan) na maaari pang mauri sa tatlong magkakaugnay na mga larangan: …

Ang Espasyo Ng Espasyo Sa Araling Pilipino Batay Sa Debateng “North–South” Sa Metro Manila, Michael D. Pante

Malay Journal

Ano ba ang gitna ng Metro Manila? Taga-North o taga-South ka ba? Sa mga nakalipas na taon, isang hindi-mamatay-matay na debate sa social media ang pagsagot sa mga tila simpleng tanong na ito. Bagama’t masasabing walang maayos na kalutasan ang balitaktakang ito, dalawang mahalagang punto ang mapupulot. Una, malinaw na mayrong mayabong at taal na diskursong pang-espasyo ang mga Pilipino para unawain ang kanilang posisyon—sa parehong literal at di-literal na kahulugan—sa lipunan. Ikalawa, at mas mahalaga, tila hindi nakasasabay ang akademikong diskurso sa bilis ng pagbabago sa aktuwal na danas ng mga tao sa iba’t ibang nosyon ng lapit, layo, …

Judged By The (Digital) Company You Keep: Maintaining Judicial Ethics In An Age Of Likes, Shares, And Follows, John Browning Jun 2022

Judged By The (Digital) Company You Keep: Maintaining Judicial Ethics In An Age Of Likes, Shares, And Follows, John Browning

St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics

Just like lawyers, judicial use of social media can present ethical pitfalls. And while most scholarly attention has focused on either active social media conduct by judges (such as posting or tweeting) or on social media “friendships” between judges and others, this Article analyses the ethical dimensions of seemingly benign judicial conduct on social media platforms, such as following a third party or “liking,” sharing, or retweeting the online posts of others. Using real-world examples, this Article analyses how even such ostensibly benign conduct can create the appearance of impropriety and undermine public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of …

Antitrust Legislative Action Against Big Tech: Lessons From Arlen Specter’S Antitrust Campaign Against American Sports Leagues, Raju Parakkal Jun 2022

Antitrust Legislative Action Against Big Tech: Lessons From Arlen Specter’S Antitrust Campaign Against American Sports Leagues, Raju Parakkal

Arlen Specter Center Research Fellowship

A growing concern in U.S. antitrust circles has been the set of challenges posed by Big Tech—large technology and internet firms such as Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon (GAFA)—to market competition, consumer choice, and consumer welfare. In recent years, U.S. lawmakers proposed new legislation to address the threats posed by the quickly and vastly increasing dominance of GAFA. The ensuing stand-off between Congress and Big Tech draws a parallel with the historic antitrust tussles that Congress, and especially the late Senator Arlen Specter, had with organized baseball because of a unique exemption from antitrust challenges that baseball received from the …
