The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence On Employee Attrition And Organizational Profitability, Saeed Almehairi Dec 2025

The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence On Employee Attrition And Organizational Profitability, Saeed Almehairi

Theses

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a transformative force in the modern workplace, reshap- ing decision-making processes, enhancing operational efficiency, and influencing the dynamics of human resource management. One of the critical areas where AI demonstrates substantial potential is in predicting, managing, and mitigating employee attrition. Employee attrition remains a pressing organizational challenge, incurring substantial costs in recruitment, training, and lost productivity. This research investigates the dual impact of AI on employee attrition and organizational profitability, exploring both the opportunities and the challenges that arise from its integration into human resource and business operations. The study examines how AI-driven predictive analytics …


An Innovative Hdm Model For Assessing Renewable Heat Energy Resources In Utility Energy Systems, Mark Alan Ryan Dec 2025

An Innovative Hdm Model For Assessing Renewable Heat Energy Resources In Utility Energy Systems, Mark Alan Ryan

Dissertations and Theses

Renewable Heat Energy projects exhibit numerous unique, complex, and often conflicting characteristics, including varying project sizes, diverse energy resources, stakeholder demands, and significant challenges in energy conversion applications. Traditionally, cash flow analysis and return on investment are the most widely recognized metrics for evaluating remote energy projects. However, numerous quantitative and qualitative factors influence the overall performance and success of Renewable Heat Energy System (RHES) projects. A comprehensive approach using advanced tools is essential for assessing the factors and criteria that significantly impact these projects.

This research investigates the key quantitative and qualitative factors that contribute to the successful implementation …


Hellmuth Owners Corp. V. Kaplan Dec 2025

Hellmuth Owners Corp. V. Kaplan

All Decisions

In this nonpayment proceeding for a co-op, the landlord moved to dismiss tenant's counterclaims and affirmative defenses, and the tenant cross-moved for discovery. The court largely granted the landlord's motion, severing many counterclaims (including monetary damages, injunctive, and declaratory relief) without prejudice due to Housing Court's limited subject matter jurisdiction. Several affirmative defenses were also dismissed without prejudice for being insufficiently pleaded or devoid of merit. However, the tenant's constructive eviction counterclaim was allowed to proceed. The tenant's motion for discovery was denied as overly broad.

Enrolled Deeds As Records And Archives In Jamaica, Andrew Williams Dec 2025

Enrolled Deeds As Records And Archives In Jamaica, Andrew Williams

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

This paper examines the history of the enrolled deeds record series in Jamaica, from its creation in the mid-seventeenth century through to the present day. It is a critical examination of a single record series through colonialism and independence. It examines the purpose of deeds and the context in which deeds registries were created before examining the history of the series through the periods of slavery and emancipation. It examines in close detail the late nineteenth century, when the Island Record Office—which has custody of the enrolled deeds—was created and several other important changes happened. It situates the enrolled deeds …


Archival Notations Of The Norwegian Charter Material, Juliane Tiemann Dec 2025

Archival Notations Of The Norwegian Charter Material, Juliane Tiemann

Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies

This paper explores archival notations, primarily from the early modern and modern periods, found on the dorse of Norwegian charters dating from the 13th to the 17th century. By examining the notation practices of two prominent Norwegian archivists and collectors, the study further highlights individual efforts in documenting and preserving these materials across various collections. The archival efforts are contextualized historically, noting a transition to systematic archival management. The findings reveal the significance of this largely unexplored component of Norwegian charters as additional historical sources, emphasizing the role of dorsal annotations in provenance research. The textual and visual analysis of …

Variations In Politeness Strategies Among Native Speakers Of Najdi Arabic And American English In Social Communication: A Cross-Cultural Study, Aeshah Muqbil Saeed Almineeai, Asseel Ali Alshahrani

UB Journal for Humanities

Uncovering what constitutes polite language in each culture and how certain expressions deemed acceptable in one society might be inappropriate in the other is the focus of politeness. Therefore, this study investigates the variations in communication strategies among speakers of Najdi Arabic, as spoken in Bisha City, and speakers of American English. The study basically explores how individuals from these distinct linguistic backgrounds respond to five different social scenarios. The study used qualitative approach to detect the responses of 15 speakers—11 Saudi Arabian natives and 4 Americans on some situations. Findings show there are some similarities in what may be …


Temporary Delta Tattoos, Lindsay Ainsworth Dec 2025

Temporary Delta Tattoos, Lindsay Ainsworth

Arkansas Liberal Arts and Humanities Day

Creating tattoos inspired by the Arkansas Delta proved both fun and informative. I designed a series of 3" x 3" Neo Traditional tattoos that combine symbols unique to the region. Research became a huge part of this project—I started questioning what defines the Delta, what makes Arkansas special. It's a place of contrasts: rich farmland and a history steeped in slavery, Southern hospitality alongside overlooked landmarks. I leaned into that dichotomy and chose three sets of themes that really feel like the Delta. Many images I found were heavy in browns—earthy, grounded, complex. One design features the Northern Mockingbird and …


Two Rules Of Completeness, Peter Bouck Dec 2025

Two Rules Of Completeness, Peter Bouck

University of Memphis Law Review

The evidentiary rule of completeness is a common law and statutory rule of fairness that prevents one party from creating a distorted picture out of partial evidence at trial.1 If a prosecutor admits one part of a defendant’s confession, “The murder weapon was mine,” the rule of completeness permits the admission of the second, “but I had sold it months earlier.”2 The version of the rule of completeness codified in Federal Rule of Evidence (“FRE”) 106 states: If a party introduces all or part of a statement, an adverse party may require the introduction, at that time, of any other …


Economic Loss Rule - Commercial Painting Co. V. Weitz Co.: Tennessee's Abrogation Of The Economic Loss Doctrine As Applied To Service Contracts, Merry Ashlyn Gatewood Dec 2025

Economic Loss Rule - Commercial Painting Co. V. Weitz Co.: Tennessee's Abrogation Of The Economic Loss Doctrine As Applied To Service Contracts, Merry Ashlyn Gatewood

University of Memphis Law Review

In its broadest form, the “economic loss rule” stands for the proposition that contracting parties who suffer purely economic damages may not recover in tort.1 The doctrine reasons that, in cases where there are no personal injuries or property damage, contract law— and not the law of tort—provides the appropriate avenue for recovery. This rule originated in the context of products liability,3 and it exists to preserve the boundary line between contract and tort law when both theories could ostensibly apply.4 However, “the economic loss rule” is a bit of a misnomer because there is not one unified rule.5 Instead, …


The Public Duty Doctrine & State Governmental Tort Liability: A Brief History And A Solution For The Current Paradigm, Cooper Harrison Dec 2025

The Public Duty Doctrine & State Governmental Tort Liability: A Brief History And A Solution For The Current Paradigm, Cooper Harrison

University of Memphis Law Review

In the early morning hours of Friday, September 2, 2022, a young woman named Eliza Fletcher was jogging down Central Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee when a man violently abducted her.2 Shortly after the abduction, the Memphis Police Department issued a city-wide watch for Mrs. Fletcher, volunteers searched wooded areas around town, and news outlets broadcasted the few known details of her abduction.3 Mrs. Fletcher disappeared near the University of Memphis Campus just a few hundred feet from a local private school, providing police with a cache of surveillance footage that helped them quickly pinpoint a suspect.4 On September 3, just …


Exculsivity Of Choice Of Court Agreements: Party Autonomy In Forum Selection, Mo Zhang Dec 2025

Exculsivity Of Choice Of Court Agreements: Party Autonomy In Forum Selection, Mo Zhang

University of Memphis Law Review

Choice of court agreements are contractual agreements where parties exercise autonomy to agree on a forum to which the parties are voluntarily subject to should a dispute arise from their commercial transactions or other civil relationships. Exclusivity is an issue concerning how a choice of court agreement is to be enforced. Presumption of exclusivity is a doctrine aimed at ensuring an effective enforcement of the agreement as such. Acceptance of the doctrine has become a growing trend internationally, as illustrated by the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements. In American courts, choice of court agreements are generally presumed …


Sexual Orientation, Rank, And Status, Duane Rudolph Dec 2025

Sexual Orientation, Rank, And Status, Duane Rudolph

University of Memphis Law Review

Dignity retains its ancient focus on rank and status. This Article, therefore, rejects the idea that we now live in the age of equal dignity, meaning equal rank and status for everyone. Rank underscores numbering, placement, and position in a predetermined hierarchy, and status underscores the power and privileges associated with each rank. Rank permits human beings to identify their preassigned location in the hierarchy, and status justifies assertions of rank since status governs the ancestral privileges, powers, and responsibilities attached to each rank. The Article relies on two constitutional cases, one before “dignity” and the other after. In 1986, …

General Education Teachers’ Attitudes Toward Students With Emotional And Behavioral Disorders: The Predictive Value Of Idea Knowledge, Teaching Experience, And Classroom-Management Self-Efficacy, Kellie N. Allen Dec 2025

General Education Teachers’ Attitudes Toward Students With Emotional And Behavioral Disorders: The Predictive Value Of Idea Knowledge, Teaching Experience, And Classroom-Management Self-Efficacy, Kellie N. Allen

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

General-education teachers often feel unprepared to support students with Emotional and Behavior Disorders (EBD), which can foster negative attitudes toward inclusion. Identifying teacher factors that support successful inclusion in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) is needed. This quantitative predictive–correlational study tested whether general-education teachers’ Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) knowledge, classroom-management self-efficacy, and years of experience predict attitudes toward including students with EBD. Using Facebook and LinkedIn, 83 teachers volunteered and completed the General Educators’ Attitudes toward Emotional and Behavioral Disorders Questionnaire, the Efficacy for Classroom Management Scale, and the Knowledge of Special Education Law Survey. Multiple linear regression …


Examining The Influence Of Education On Job Satisfaction Among Georgia Police Officers: A Causal-Comparative Quantitative Analysis, Ebony J. Gammon Dec 2025

Examining The Influence Of Education On Job Satisfaction Among Georgia Police Officers: A Causal-Comparative Quantitative Analysis, Ebony J. Gammon

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The purpose of this quantitative causal-comparative study was to determine if a significant difference exists between job satisfaction scores among police officers with varying levels of education. This study is important because it addresses contemporary challenges in law enforcement, will provide valuable insight into informed decision making, has broad implications and applicability, and will contribute to scant policing knowledge that informs the understanding of education level on police actions. More specifically, how higher education or the absence thereof impacts job satisfaction. The sample was composed of 180 sworn Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certified, police officers in the state …


A Critical Comparative Analysis Of The Ecclesiologies Of Carl F. H. Henry And James H. Cone Through The Lens Of Social Consciousness: Towards A Liberative Ecclesiology, Phyllis D. Johnson Dec 2025

A Critical Comparative Analysis Of The Ecclesiologies Of Carl F. H. Henry And James H. Cone Through The Lens Of Social Consciousness: Towards A Liberative Ecclesiology, Phyllis D. Johnson

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The doctrine of the Church has remained a controversial and enigmatic topic for centuries. Since its inception, scholars have debated the doctrine of the Church, challenged its boundaries, and questioned its role in society. As contemporary society evolves, the Church encounters multifaceted challenges, compelling it to adapt while maintaining its spiritual mission. To address this concern, this study analyzes the ecclesiologies of Carl F. H. Henry and James H. Cone through the lens of social consciousness. A critical comparative analysis provides the most dynamic framework for examining these perspectives. By exploring probable theological points of convergence and divergence, this study …


A Phenomenological Study: The Self-Efficacious Experiences Of Mid-Level Black Female Administrators At Public Colleges And Universities In Virginia, Alexis Bacote Archer Alarcón Dec 2025

A Phenomenological Study: The Self-Efficacious Experiences Of Mid-Level Black Female Administrators At Public Colleges And Universities In Virginia, Alexis Bacote Archer Alarcón

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The purpose of this transcendental phenomenological study was to describe the self-efficacious experiences for mid-level Black female administrators at public colleges and universities in Virginia. Self-efficacious experiences were generally defined as a person’s belief in their ability to perform well in their role as a leader. The theory guiding this study was Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy. Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy served as the theoretical framework for answering the study's central question: What are the self-efficacious experiences of mid-level Black female administrators at public colleges and universities in Virginia? A transcendental phenomenological design using three core processes, epoche ́, transcendental-phenomenological reduction, …


What My Church Mother Taught Me: A Phenomenological Exploration Of The Maternal Messages Given To Black Christian Women On How To Cope With Trauma, Melanie Joyce Coates Dec 2025

What My Church Mother Taught Me: A Phenomenological Exploration Of The Maternal Messages Given To Black Christian Women On How To Cope With Trauma, Melanie Joyce Coates

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of Black women in Churches of Christ as they perceive and interpret maternal messages about coping with and managing the effects of traumatic experiences. For this study, maternal messages was defined as advice, support, mentorship, or guidance from older Black Christian women to younger Black Christian women. It was important to understand the ways in which older Black women teach younger Black women in navigating mental health challenges within the context of a complex trauma history among African Americans. The first theory that guided this study was …
