In this review, we discuss how mutations in glioma are associated with prognosis and treatment efficacy. A fascinating characteristic of glioma and all cancers is that while common growth and developmental pathways are altered, the characteristic mutations are distinct depending on the specific type of tumor with concomitant prognoses. Next-generation sequencing, precision medicine, and artificial intelligence are boosting the employment of molecular biomarkers in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Understanding the biological underpinnings of distinct mutations on critical signaling pathways is crucial for developing novel therapies for glioma.

Relationship Between Length Of Stay And Unplanned Readmissions For Adolescent Medicaid Beneficiaries In Mental Health, Rhona Rebecca Waugh
Relationship Between Length Of Stay And Unplanned Readmissions For Adolescent Medicaid Beneficiaries In Mental Health, Rhona Rebecca Waugh
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Using national cross-sectional data sets and explanatory variables from CMS, the purpose of this study was to analyze identified adolescents on Medicaid from 2019 to 2021, to determine the interaction of length of stay (LOS) on the frequency of unplanned 30-day readmissions. Students with mental disorders are the most susceptible population during enrollment in healthcare facilities, which is why LOS and readmissions represent one of the most critical points in supporting these learners. This study established the association between LOS and the increased proportion of 30-day readmissions among consumers under Medicaid with mental health conditions in the adolescence stage. To …

Perspectives On Compassion Fatigue And Self-Regulation Among Social Workers In Patient Care During Covid-19, Roberta Johnson Wright
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, social workers in patient care have faced significant emotional and psychological challenges, including compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and burnout. This study explores the perceptions of social workers working in patient care during the pandemic, specifically examining how compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma contribute to burnout. By focusing on their experiences, the research emphasizes the vulnerabilities social workers encounter as they support populations during these challenging times. The study is grounded in job demands-resources theory to help explain how the demands of social work roles impact mental health and well-being. To gather in-depth data, …
Scaling Up Eco-Engineering: The Role Of Topographic Complexity And Spatial Variability In Shaping Biodiversity On Coastal Structures, Charlotte Clubley, Antony Knights, Jessica Allen, David T Bilton, Andy Foggo, Mick Hanley, James Murphy, Louisa E Wood, Louise Firth
Scaling Up Eco-Engineering: The Role Of Topographic Complexity And Spatial Variability In Shaping Biodiversity On Coastal Structures, Charlotte Clubley, Antony Knights, Jessica Allen, David T Bilton, Andy Foggo, Mick Hanley, James Murphy, Louisa E Wood, Louise Firth
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
In response to the depauperate biodiversity often associated with the largely homogenous surfaces of artificial structures, ecological (eco-) engineering has emerged as a tool to introduce topographic complexity to coastal development. Although relatively small-scale studies using topographically complex panels and artificial rockpools are commonplace, determining how the configuration of these interventions works over greater and more realistic spatial scales has received comparatively little attention. Given the importance of spatial variability in habitat complexity for shaping community composition and, therefore, regional diversity, filling this knowledge gap is key to enhancing the ‘design catalogue’ for future eco-engineering installations. Here, we manipulated topographic …
A Quantum Reservoir Computing Approach To Computer-Aided Music Composition, Eduardo Miranda, Hari Shaji
A Quantum Reservoir Computing Approach To Computer-Aided Music Composition, Eduardo Miranda, Hari Shaji
School of Art, Design and Architecture
This paper presents an approach to developing computer-aided music composition (CAMC) systems with quantum computing. CAMC systems are aimed at supporting musicians in creating music rather than generating complete pieces of music autonomously. For instance, they may generate ideas or prompts to be further developed during the creative process. We developed a CAMC system using a machine learning method called Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC) that learns to create tunes in the style of given examples. The system proved to run satisfactorily on the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) machines available today. It does not require large amounts of qubits to outperform …
Forecasting Turkish Lira Via Combination Of Ann And Econometrics Approaches -An Emerging Market Case Study, Muhammad Asadullah, Nayab Jumani
Forecasting Turkish Lira Via Combination Of Ann And Econometrics Approaches -An Emerging Market Case Study, Muhammad Asadullah, Nayab Jumani
Business Review
This study aims to forecast the Turkish Lira to US Dollar exchange rate from January 2011 to December 2024, withholding the 2024 data for forecasting. The study utilizes four econometric models (ARIMA, Naïve, exponential smoothing, and NARDL) along with one Artificial Neural Network model (ANN). It heeds the recommendation of Poon and Granger (2003) to combine these models and assess their predictive accuracy using two methods: equal-weights and variance-covariance. The study finds that the combined model outperforms individual models in predicting the exchange rate. The fusion of ANN and NARDL emerges as particularly effective in forecasting the Turkish Lira's performance. …
Forced Arbitration In The Fortune 500, David Horton
Forced Arbitration In The Fortune 500, David Horton
Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)
As the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) nears its centennial, its most controversial byproduct—forced arbitration—has entered uncharted territory. For years, companies exploited their power over fine print to produce ambitious dispute resolution regimes. This trend reached its apex in the 2010s, when the Supreme Court held that arbitration is incompatible with class actions and gave its blessing to delegation provisions, which allow the arbitrator to decide whether a case must be arbitrated. But around 2020, the dynamic changed. Plaintiffs’ lawyers discovered a tactic called “mass arbitration” that gains settlement leverage by bombarding defendants with scores of individual claims. In addition, Congress …

Building Bridges: Queer Rights In And Out Of The Courts, Kaz Lane
Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)
It is unclear whether the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits states from differentiating between people based solely on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. This note_comment analyzes the Supreme Court’s tiers of scrutiny—rational basis review, intermediate scrutiny, and strict scrutiny—to argue that a new suspect class is warranted for sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI), triggering strict scrutiny for SOGI classifications. This analysis shows that a united SOGI class meets all of the characteristics associated with suspect classes, including a history of anti-LGBTQIA+ discrimination and the irrelevance between SOGI and one’s ability to contribute to society. This …

Closing In On The Patent Troll: State Legislatures’ Role In Combatting Trolling Behavior, Will Roberts
Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)
In the United States, entities known as patent trolls purchase patents solely for the purpose of threatening and bringing litigation and present a significant threat to innovation and economic progress. The question is: Who will rise to the occasion and stop them? In the face of federal inaction, state legislatures have stepped in, enacting laws to combat bad faith assertions of patent infringement. This note_comment examines the efficacy and constitutionality of state anti-patent troll statutes, analyzing how they operate within the broader framework of federal patent law. State legislatures have taken various approaches to address patent trolling. Some statutes have …

Suspecting With Data, Mary D. Fan
Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)
Our pooled consumer big data, such as the pictures we post or the location history and keyword search trails we leave, are generating new ways to solve crimes. Much of the commentary on big data search strategies such as keyword, geofence, and facial recognition searches fixate on Fourth Amendment search and seizure issues rather than evidentiary safeguards. This Article breaks new ground by framing evidentiary guardrails for big data searches to reduce the harms of erroneous arrests, redress secrecy, and counteract the mystique of machine infallibility. Advancing beyond over-reliance on Fourth Amendment doctrine, this Article illuminates how evidence law and …

The Next Four Years: Geographical Reflections On The Second Trump Administration, Caroline R. Nagel, Peter Hopkins
Faculty Publications
In this introductory essay, we reflect on the significance of the re-election of Donald Trump to the presidency in the United States, and we provide some context for interpreting Trump's second term. Two of Trump's early policy moves—the release of billions of gallons of water from reservoirs in California and the granting of refugee status to Afrikaners—portend four years of politics based on alternative facts, conspiracy theories, and racial grievances. Trump's political agenda has received a significant boost from Silicon Valley billionaires, who are keen to eliminate regulatory bureaucracy. Paradoxically, while allied with high-tech futurists, Trump's policies hearken to an …

Racial Disparities In Crime-Based Removal Proceedings, Emily Ryo, Ian Peacock, Weston Ley, Christopher Levesque
Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)
Whether and to what extent racial minorities experience harsher treatment or face worse outcomes in court are questions of fundamental importance for any justice system. Questions of racial inequality are especially salient in the context of removal proceedings that are triggered by immigrants’ criminal history. Many individuals in crime-based removal proceedings are immigrants of color who face a host of legal disadvantages that are tantamount to double penalties for the same crime for which they have already been punished through the criminal justice system. This Article offers, for the first time, systematic empirical analyses of crime-based removal proceedings decided between …
Toward A Dynamic View Of Corporate Purpose, Dorothy Lund
Toward A Dynamic View Of Corporate Purpose, Dorothy Lund
Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)
Scholars debating the corporation’s role in society generally advance the view that there is only one desirable orientation for corporations and their management. Specifically, proponents of a stakeholder governance model contend that focusing management on a broad set of corporate constituents maximizes overall welfare, while advocates of a shareholder-centric directive counter that prioritizing shareholders creates social welfare by rendering the firm most profitable. This Article offers another view: It suggests that the welfare-maximizing purpose for corporations could change depending on external economic conditions, which both of these positions assume away. Specifically, shareholder primacy is likely to promote welfare in a …
Against Attorney General Self-Referral In Immigration Law, Stella Burch Elias, Paul Gowder
Against Attorney General Self-Referral In Immigration Law, Stella Burch Elias, Paul Gowder
Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)
This Article advances a rule-of-law-based critique of the Attorney General’s immigration self-referral power. We argue that the Attorney General’s self-referral and review power over pending immigration proceedings allows an appointed Executive Branch official to engage in unchecked and unilateral lawmaking and, therefore, should be abolished. Scholars have typically understood legal stability, prospectivity, and the separation of policymaking from adjudication as requirements of the Anglo-American rule of law regime which protect individual freedom and equality. It is traditionally believed that by limiting policy-driven legislation to prospective, general laws which are enacted through an explicitly legislative process, individuals may be secure against …

Inflammation is a central hallmark of cardiomyopathy, where misdirected immune responses contribute to chronic myocardial dysfunction. Among the emerging molecular mechanisms implicated in this process, the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway has garnered increasing attention. Acting as a key cytosolic DNA sensor, the cGAS/STING pathway orchestrates inflammatory responses triggered by microbial infections or endogenous cellular stressors such as autophagy and apoptosis. Despite its pivotal role, the precise molecular mechanisms regulating this pathway and its role in cardiomyopathy-associated inflammation remain poorly understood and subject to ongoing debate. To address this scientific gap, we first reviewed key …

Deep face recognition is a significant area of biometric authentication that addresses challenges such as low resolution, varying facial expressions, and inconsistent lighting. This paper presents a robust deep-learning approach to tackle these challenges. The study aims to employ multi-criteria decision-making techniques and verify the influence of individual and group expert opinions in decision-making. However, balancing criteria such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and recall remain challenging across different models. To fill this gap, the study utilized a decision-support framework that included the fuzzy analytical hierarchical process to set criteria weights based on expert input and the Technique for Order …

Exploring Bim Capabilities For Life Cycle Assessment In Structural Projects: A Valencian Barraca Case Study For Sustainable Material Choices, Oscar Selfa, Barry Mcauley, Kieran Lakhera O'Shea
Conference Papers
The construction sector significantly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, resource consumption, and waste generation, with structural materials accounting for up to 40% of embedded carbon. This study investigates the integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tools to promote sustainable structural design. Using a BIM model of a Valencian barraca, three scenarios were evaluated: traditional materials (adobe and wood), concrete with steel, and concrete with Cross- Laminated Timber (CLT). Results show that natural materials generate lower impacts, while steel and concrete exhibit higher emissions. This work proposes a workflow integrating BIM, …

This study is a qualitative interpretive phenomenological single case study of Black leaders in an urban, public school district in the southern region of the United States. In this school district, demographic disparities existed between the student population and the leadership. This study analyzed the work of Black leaders and better understand how their leadership experiences shape the school environment for faculty, administrators, students, and community stakeholders outside of traditionally numerical accountability measures. The study was guided by a tri-fold theoretical framework that included applied critical leadership, social justice leadership, and culturally responsive leadership. Twelve Black educational leaders were interviewed …
