The Relationship Between Industry Regulation And The Quality Of Micro-Dramas, Shuoyu Yao Mar 2025

The Relationship Between Industry Regulation And The Quality Of Micro-Dramas, Shuoyu Yao

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

This paper is a study on the micro-drama industry, exploring the reasons for a large number of low-quality micro-dramas. Specifically, there are two potential problems: (1) the industry value allocation model is unreasonable, so producing high-quality micro-dramas does not receive sufficient returns; (2) regulatory oversight of the industry is insufficient. To investigate this recent phenomenon and the underlying problems, we collected a dataset of 165 micro-dramas and use the newly introduced regulation on the micro-drama industry in June 2024 as a policy shock. The findings show that, before the new regulations were introduced, micro-dramas with higher quality in expression received …

Family Succession And Corporate Investment Policy, Weiting Lin Mar 2025

Family Succession And Corporate Investment Policy, Weiting Lin

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

Family firms play a significant role in economic and social development, making substantial contributions to wealth creation, employment generation, and the enhancement of social welfare. However, the development of family firms faces numerous challenges, among which intergenerational succession stands out as one of the most critical. The intergenerational succession of family firms is crucial for their long-term sustainable development. In China, since the reform and opening up, private enterprises have experienced rapid growth, with most family firms still under the control of their first-generation founders. These firms are now entering a critical period of succession. The unique political, business, and …

Gravel Road Performance Enhancement, Bora Cetin, Kristin Cetin, Charan Sai Vangaveeti, Mehdi Bulduk, Md Mahir Asif Mar 2025

Gravel Road Performance Enhancement, Bora Cetin, Kristin Cetin, Charan Sai Vangaveeti, Mehdi Bulduk, Md Mahir Asif

Nebraska Department of Transportation: Research Reports

Nearly 30% of roads in the U.S. are unpaved, significantly impacting rural connectivity with Nebraska alone having approximately 75% unpaved roads. This study systematically evaluates local materials to improve gravel road performance, reduce maintenance frequency, and decrease financial burdens on counties. Survey responses revealed that nearly 70% of counties follow NDOT specifications for gravel road design, while more than 90% lack knowledge of local material quality. The most common distresses identified were raveling, loss of crown, dust, and improper drainage. These findings indicate that construction practices rely heavily on experience, rather than systematic design, highlighting the need for a performance-based …

Objectives And Principles For An Instrument On Limitations And Exceptions: Relevant Excerpts And Proposals, Sean Flynn, Luca Schirru Mar 2025

Objectives And Principles For An Instrument On Limitations And Exceptions: Relevant Excerpts And Proposals, Sean Flynn, Luca Schirru

Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series

The Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR) has been mandated by the 2012 General Assembly to work toward “an appropriate international legal instrument or instruments (whether through model law, joint recommendation, treaty, and/or other forms)”. In SCCR 43, the Committee adopted a Work Program (SCCR/43/8) to draft “objectives, principles, and options” for potential instruments. With the goal of facilitating the discussion within the Committee and the design of principles and objectives, our research team systematically gathered and organized relevant excerpts from a variety of sources including existing treaties, laws, SCCR documents, academic contributions, and civil society proposals.

Cracking The Façade: Analyzing Ohio's "Don't Say Gay" Legislation As Disguised Discrimination Under The First And Fourteenth Amendments, Sydni L. Porter Mar 2025

Cracking The Façade: Analyzing Ohio's "Don't Say Gay" Legislation As Disguised Discrimination Under The First And Fourteenth Amendments, Sydni L. Porter

Journal of Law and Health

The Ohio State Legislature is among the growing nationwide trend in attacking LGBTQ+ rights. Chief among these is Ohio House Bill 8, which claims to limit the types of content children encounter in schools. While the drafters cite this noble intent, the bill's actual impact further harms queer students and teachers, who already bear heavier mental health burdens due to such legislation and its societal implications. This type of legislation recently originated in Florida, where it was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2022 and garnered national media attention. As Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a near-identical bill …

Ethical Ai In Teacher Preparation: Exploring Mindsets To Transform Practice, Joseph Rene Corbeil, Leticia De Leon, Maria Elena Corbeil

Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications

This paper describes a survey study on the AI perspectives of pre-service teachers. The study included 115 participants who completed a survey to gather quantitative and qualitative data on their use and perceptions AI, as well as on ethical concerns surrounding its use. The conceptual framework guiding this work is the “Human – AI – Human” developed by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (2024). This framework offered a lens that grounded ethical behavior through a human-guided perspective. This study found that pre-service teachers did not generally prefer to use AI and were concerned with its ethical implications. …

The History Matters: Fighting For Equal Education In Lowell, Massachusetts, 1970-1990, Robert Forrant, Chandaranee Khoeun, Chrisna Khuon Mar 2025

The History Matters: Fighting For Equal Education In Lowell, Massachusetts, 1970-1990, Robert Forrant, Chandaranee Khoeun, Chrisna Khuon

Institute for Asian American Studies Publications

This is a story about Southeast Asian and Latino parents in Lowell, MA who confronted the Lowell School Committee in the late 1970s and 1980s, demanding that schools be desegregated and that their children have equal educational opportunities. While the school struggle unfolded, acts of anti-Asian and anti-Latino violence were perpetrated in Greater Boston and around the country, including the tragic death of Vandy Phorng, a 13-year-old Cambodian American in 1987. Following his death, the federal lawsuit that Southeast Asian and Latino parents had filed moved through the federal court for two years before the city settled. However, further racism …

Minimal Justiciability, Riley T. Keenan Mar 2025

Minimal Justiciability, Riley T. Keenan

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

Federal courts adjudicate only justiciable disputes. But justiciable as to whom? The Supreme Court has hinted at an answer, holding that at least one plaintiff must show standing for each remedy sought in a federal case. But it has never explained this “one-plaintiff rule,” and recently some scholars have criticized it, arguing that Article III instead requires each plaintiff to show standing in every federal case. This Article offers the missing explanation. Justiciability limits judicial power, it contends, and judicial relief is the constitutionally relevant expression of that power. Thus, Article III requires only one plaintiff with standing and a …

Judging Demeanor, Kiel Brennan-Marquez, Julia Simon-Kerr Mar 2025

Judging Demeanor, Kiel Brennan-Marquez, Julia Simon-Kerr

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

This Article challenges the conventional wisdom that defendant demeanor—affect, body language, and physical appearance—helps juries assess guilt. On the contrary, we show that demeanor evidence poses an inherent risk of propensity-based reasoning. It invites jurors to convict defendants based on whether they “look like criminals,” rather than on the actual facts of the case. In doing so, demeanor evidence facilitates cultural and racial subordination. It enables members of dominant groups—consciously or not—to penalize members of less-dominant groups for failing to appear innocent or credible. We argue that existing law has things backwards. It treats defendant demeanor as presumptively useful and …

A Democratic Participation Model For Corporate Goverance, Grant M. Hayden, Matthew T. Bodie Mar 2025

A Democratic Participation Model For Corporate Goverance, Grant M. Hayden, Matthew T. Bodie

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

Corporate law is in the grip of a fundamental conundrum: whether corporations should seek only to serve shareholders or instead attend to the interests of all stakeholders. The doctrine of shareholder primacy, which focuses the corporation’s attention on the goal of maximizing shareholder wealth, has been startingly successful, capturing the theory and practice of corporate governance for roughly fifty years. But recently the costs of this monomaniacal focus on the financial interests of one set of corporate participants have become clearer. At a time when the original reasons for restricting the corporate franchise to shareholders have been shown to rest …

Legal Academia's White Gaze, Renee Nicole Allen Mar 2025

Legal Academia's White Gaze, Renee Nicole Allen

Minnesota Law Review Vols. 106:2 onward (2021-present)

For Black law faculty, Blackness, the Black experience, and Black legal and social identity are not trends. Yet, there are inflection points where legal scholarship about race, particularly Blackness, is in vogue. The most recent rise in such legal scholarship came in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder and the worldwide Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. When antiracist sentiment is high, the regard for scholarship central to the personhood of Black legal scholars is high. Even then, there is an expectation that Black authors write in ways that conform to the White norms of legal scholarship. Though central to …

Impact Of Polysaccharides On Advancing Plant-Based Meat Alternatives, Prashant Dahal, Clifford Hall, Srinivas Janaswamy Mar 2025

Impact Of Polysaccharides On Advancing Plant-Based Meat Alternatives, Prashant Dahal, Clifford Hall, Srinivas Janaswamy

Dairy Science and Food Science Faculty Publications: 2022 to Present

Plant-based meat products are a valued choice for vegetarians and others. Their production has been perceived as an innovation promoting animal welfare and sustainability. However, there are challenges in simulating desirable appearance, texture, and flavor using only plant-based protein sources. Polysaccharide addition during the formulation and texturization of plant proteins can improve the physi- cochemical and sensory properties of texturized protein products. In this regard, a clear understanding of the fundamental properties of polysaccharides is essential for transforming plant proteins into fibers or nonfilamentous protein aggregates. Enhancing water-holding capacity, gelation, and binding functionality is crucial for overcoming structural and textural …

Voter F̶R̶A̶U̶D̶ Mistake, Benjamin Plener Cover Mar 2025

Voter F̶R̶A̶U̶D̶ Mistake, Benjamin Plener Cover

William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

False narratives challenging electoral integrity often cite ineligible voting as a prime example of so-called widespread voter fraud. This Article demonstrates that ineligible voting often consists of mistakes that are problematically treated like fraud. Some jurisdictions criminalize ineligible voting on a strict liability basis, imposing punishment even when the ineligible voter is unaware of her ineligibility. When jurisdictions impose this strict criminal liability, mistakes are often misunderstood or misrepresented as fraud. This harsh and confused treatment of voter mistake undermines the criminal justice system by severing criminality from culpability, punishing good faith democratic participation, targeting marginalized populations, and amplifying systemic …

Meals On Duty: The Case For Excluding Meal Reimbursements For Law Enforcement, Daniel De Izaguirre Mar 2025

Meals On Duty: The Case For Excluding Meal Reimbursements For Law Enforcement, Daniel De Izaguirre

The Business, Entrepreneurship & Tax Law Review

This article advocates for the extension of the Internal Revenue Code (I.R.C.) § 119 exclusion to cover cash reimbursements for meals provided to law enforcement officers. Currently, § 119 excludes meals furnished by an employer from gross income, but not cash reimbursements. The unique demand placed on law enforcement officers, including the requirement to remain on-call during meals, justify the inclusion of these reimbursements within the scope of § 119. Through a comprehensive analysis of legislative intent, case law, and the “substance over form” doctrine, this article argues that cash reimbursements serve the same substantial business purpose as meals-in-kind and …

The Screen Is Going To Ask You A Couple Questions: Analyzing No Tax On Tips And How It Will Change The Hospitality And Service Industries, Nicholas Prindiville Mar 2025

The Screen Is Going To Ask You A Couple Questions: Analyzing No Tax On Tips And How It Will Change The Hospitality And Service Industries, Nicholas Prindiville

The Business, Entrepreneurship & Tax Law Review

The Coronavirus Pandemic, point-of-sale technology, and financial instability has pushed demand for tips to all-time highs as tipped workers struggle to make ends meet. In response, Democrats and Republicans have proposed the “No Tax On Tips” bill, which would create a limitless deduction for tip income, to provide tipped workers with financial relief. With the bill targeting such a unique type of income, the potential results of this bill are just as polarizing. This paper looks at the origin of America’s tipping culture, how tips impacted labor and tax legislation, how the bill’s tip deduction would expose holes in labor …

A Snitch In Time Can Help Deport Nine: Proposing A Private Enforcement Scheme To Spur Self-Deportations, Ajay Gupta Mar 2025

A Snitch In Time Can Help Deport Nine: Proposing A Private Enforcement Scheme To Spur Self-Deportations, Ajay Gupta

The Business, Entrepreneurship & Tax Law Review

Any forcible deportation drive that the incoming Trump administration may undertake to remove some of the many millions of aliens illegally present in the country would be limited in scope, underscoring the importance of goading self-deportations for perceptibly reducing these aliens’ numbers by curtailing their employment opportunities. Based in part on Britain’s experience with eradicating child labor in the nineteenth century, the article proposes a scheme of private enforcement for rendering unemployable a large proportion of unauthorized aliens in the United States labor market today. The proposal comprises enacting a punitive tax on all compensation paid for the personal services …

Assignments For The Benefit Of Creditors As An Alternative To Bankruptcy Proceedings, Jessica G. Mckinlay Mar 2025

Assignments For The Benefit Of Creditors As An Alternative To Bankruptcy Proceedings, Jessica G. Mckinlay

The Business, Entrepreneurship & Tax Law Review

Many companies intending to close benefit from going through a formal dissolution procedure. The simplest method is to dissolve under state law, which can be done internally by the officers and directors or other responsible people in charge of the business. Dissolution under state law is a preferred method for companies without complicated debt structures or significant remaining assets. Instead of going through a dissolution handled internally by the company decision makers, companies may also consider retaining a third-party fiduciary who can notify creditors that the company has ceased doing business, sell any remaining assets, and distribute the proceeds to …

Hijacking Frederick Douglass: How Conservatives Exploit His Legacy For Political And Ideological Gain, Kenneth B. Morris Jr Mar 2025

Hijacking Frederick Douglass: How Conservatives Exploit His Legacy For Political And Ideological Gain, Kenneth B. Morris Jr

Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence

Conservatives distort Frederick Douglass’s legacy to advance political and ideological narratives that contradict his advocacy for racial justice and civil rights. Among them, Black conservatives invoke Douglass to justify their opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts while appealing to reactionary audiences. By stripping his writings of historical context, they reshape his message in ways that obscure his calls for systemic change. Some exploit his name and image for financial gain. As Douglass’s great-great-great-grandson, the author directly confronts these distortions with historical evidence and personal insight. This work calls for an honest engagement with Douglass’s full legacy and challenges those …

In Government We Trust: Judicial Deference To Government Evidence In Removal Proceedings, Marie S. Celentino Mar 2025

In Government We Trust: Judicial Deference To Government Evidence In Removal Proceedings, Marie S. Celentino

Vanderbilt Law Review

On its face, the Form I-213 appears to be a humble bureaucratic form unremarkable to the untrained eye. In reality, this document alone can singularly sustain the federal government’s case for the deportation of a noncitizen in removal proceedings. The Form I-213 sits at the cradle of interlocking judicial and procedural norms within immigration practice that largely diminish the due process rights of noncitizens facing deportation. This Article sheds light on two important but relatively underexamined phenomena that undergird this system: how a disregard for evidentiary rules largely eliminates the government’s burden of proof in removal proceedings and how judicial …

Brain-Dead Surrogacy And Testamentary Disposition: Legal Rights Over One’S Body For Reproductive Purposes, Cassandra L. Nelson Mar 2025

Brain-Dead Surrogacy And Testamentary Disposition: Legal Rights Over One’S Body For Reproductive Purposes, Cassandra L. Nelson

Vanderbilt Law Review

Through the advancement of modern medical technology, including life-support machines and in vitro fertilization, it may soon become possible to carry out brain-dead surrogacy—that is, gestational surrogacy in brain-dead carriers. When a person experiences brain death, life-support machines can nevertheless artificially maintain the body’s homeostatic functions, including the ability to gestate a fetus, for several years thereafter. There have already been several reported instances of brain-dead pregnant people on ventilation successfully carrying and delivering children. In light of the United States’ historical interest in promoting familymaking, this emerging avenue for surrogacy could increase the availability of surrogates and expand opportunities …

Alfred Russel Wallace Notes 35. Natural Selection By Evolution., Charles H. Smith

Faculty/Staff Personal Papers

Alfred Russel Wallace (1823?1913) is remembered, with Charles Darwin, as the co-originator of the concept of evolution by natural selection. But Wallace’s framing of the idea increasingly became one in which natural selection itself was regarded as a law of nature, not a theory per se.

Syrian Regime Resilience And State Power Through Contracting Stateness: The Cases Of Al-Hasakeh And Aleppo, Reinoud Leenders, Steven Heydemann Mar 2025

Syrian Regime Resilience And State Power Through Contracting Stateness: The Cases Of Al-Hasakeh And Aleppo, Reinoud Leenders, Steven Heydemann

Middle East Studies: Faculty Books

This chapter challenges the concepts of state weakness and state fragility that treat territorial control and control over the means of violence as key indicators of state strength in the context of civil war. We demonstrate that during the years of civil war in Syria, including periods when its survival was most precarious, the Assad regime’s
capacity to manage processes of state contraction and state reassertion played a critical role in its endurance.
