"From An Activist Spirit And History": An Examination Of Midwest Professors Who Teach Gender Studies In The Current Political Climate, Mena Faber Oct 2026

"From An Activist Spirit And History": An Examination Of Midwest Professors Who Teach Gender Studies In The Current Political Climate, Mena Faber

Communication and Theater Association of Minnesota Journal

Gender studies is an interdisciplinary field spanning higher education institutions globally. Yet the experiences of scholars within specific regional contexts remain understudied. This study examines the lived personal and pedagogical experiences of gender studies and gender communication scholars in the Midwest. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore participants’ experiences, perceived pressures, and responses to the current political and academic climate. Interview questions focused on the challenges scholars face as well as the communicative practices they adopt in response to shifting attitudes toward gender studies. This research seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of how scholars …

Debating Without Format: A Portrait, A Proposal, A Possibility, Stephen M. Llano Oct 2026

Debating Without Format: A Portrait, A Proposal, A Possibility, Stephen M. Llano

Communication and Theater Association of Minnesota Journal

This essay distinguishes "Debate" — competitive, tournament-driven, and governed by fixed procedural rules — from "debate," rhetoric's older practice of persuading an audience. Drawing on the dual etymology of "format" (to shape, and to arrange data for machine processing) and on Goodhart's law, the essay argues that competitive format has displaced audience assent as debate's real aim, training students to satisfy a judge's rules rather than move real listeners. As an alternative, it proposes a co-curricular model rooted in the university rather than the tournament circuit, treating rules as adaptable paradigms rather than algorithms to execute. Drawing on Perelman and …

From Pickering To Participation: Rebalancing Speech And Equality In Government Employment, Madeline Pendleton, David Schultz Oct 2026

From Pickering To Participation: Rebalancing Speech And Equality In Government Employment, Madeline Pendleton, David Schultz

University of Cincinnati Law Review

Public employees occupy a uniquely precarious position in American constitutional law. They retain First Amendment rights as citizens while simultaneously operating within institutional hierarchies that may legitimately regulate their expression. Title VII and the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause protect them from discrimination, yet the doctrinal frameworks designed to safeguard them often pull in opposite directions. This Article examines the resulting doctrinal confusion, arguing that the intersection of the Pickering/Garcetti framework governing public employee speech with Title VII’s hostile work environment doctrine and the Equal Protection Clause’s intent requirement has generated genuine uncertainty about the scope of constitutional protection—uncertainty that …

Modular Securities Regulation, Anita K. Krug Oct 2026

Modular Securities Regulation, Anita K. Krug

University of Cincinnati Law Review

Securities regulation is not supposed to look like corporate law, yet in the market for interval and tender-offer funds, it increasingly does. The SEC’s modern exemptive practice for these registered investment vehicles—funds that offer periodic liquidity while investing in less-liquid strategies—is doing more than granting individualized relief. In effect, it is transforming the Investment Company Act’s closed-end structural constraints from mandatory architecture into conditional defaults that permit product modularity (particularly in terms of multiple share classes and distribution and servicing fees) when paired with governance and disclosure safeguards. The result is a distinctly corporate-governance-like move in federal securities regulation: The …

Prompt-Bound Credential Mediation With Drift-Aware Boundary Amendment For Ai Agents, Chad Patterson, Rajarshee Dhar, David Hanes, Ram Mohan Ravindranath Oct 2026

Prompt-Bound Credential Mediation With Drift-Aware Boundary Amendment For Ai Agents, Chad Patterson, Rajarshee Dhar, David Hanes, Ram Mohan Ravindranath

Defensive Publications Series

A system is proposed herein for bidirectional drift-aware amendment of a signed, versioned task boundary governing an artificial intelligence (AI) agent’s interactions with protected tools. A mediation plane checks an agent-proposed request against the active boundary before tool execution and checks actual returned records and fields against the same boundary before delivery to the agent. When either check detects a deviation, the request or returned data is held and a dimension-specific delta is generated. A verified human may deny, approve, or approve with conditions. Approved conditions are compiled into an enforceable boundary version before the held interaction proceeds. A temporary …

The Secure Element-Based Offline Payments Using Acoustically Transmitted Signed Tokens, Sree Sitamahalakshmi Moguluru Oct 2026

The Secure Element-Based Offline Payments Using Acoustically Transmitted Signed Tokens, Sree Sitamahalakshmi Moguluru

Defensive Publications Series

Digital payment systems may face challenges in environments with limited or no network connectivity, for example, with computing devices (e.g., a smartphone, feature phone, wearable device) that may have limited hardware capabilities. A system is disclosed for offline transactions that can use a device's secure element, such as a subscriber identity module. During a transaction, an applet on the secure element can debit a designated offline balance and generate a cryptographically signed token containing transaction details. This signed token can then be transmitted between devices using, for example, acoustic signals. A receiving device can locally verify the token's authenticity without …

How Older Adults And Adults With Health Conditions Define Wellbeing And Quality Of Life: A Narrative Review, Rachel Cox, Alison Warren, Oliver Beer Oct 2026

How Older Adults And Adults With Health Conditions Define Wellbeing And Quality Of Life: A Narrative Review, Rachel Cox, Alison Warren, Oliver Beer

School of Health Professions

Wellbeing and quality of life (QoL) are widely used concepts within health and social care research, practice and policy internationally. Despite their universal use, the definition of these concepts and subsequent application are subject to continued debate. The terms continue to be used, often interchangeably, and may not align with personal definitions for service users. This narrative review explored definitions of wellbeing and QoL of life from older adults and adults with health conditions as major users of health and social care services. Informed by systematic reviewing principles, a comprehensive search of CINAHL, SocINDEX and PsychInfo was conducted on 30 …

Character-Value Internalization Through Tembe Nggoli Motifs And Weaving Practices In The Mbojo Weaving Community Of Wawo District, Indonesia, Imamatul Islamyah, Meisar Ashari, Irsan Kadir Oct 2026

Character-Value Internalization Through Tembe Nggoli Motifs And Weaving Practices In The Mbojo Weaving Community Of Wawo District, Indonesia, Imamatul Islamyah, Meisar Ashari, Irsan Kadir

Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya

Traditional weaving constitutes an important part of Indonesia's cultural heritage, yet its role in character-value learning remains underexplored. This study examines how character values are interpreted, experienced, and reinforced through Tembe Nggoli motifs and weaving practices within the Mbojo weaving community of Wawo District, Indonesia. Using a qualitative mini-ethnographic design, data were collected from four participants through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation and analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six-phase thematic analysis. The findings indicate that character-related values are encountered through three interrelated dimensions: visual symbolism, embodied weaving practices, and community participation. Within the observed setting, participants associated these dimensions …

From External Relational Resources To Sustainable Entrepreneurship Practices In Emerging Markets: The Ethical Role Of Dynamic Capabilities, Duysal Warsi Askun, Nihal Yazici, Erhan Alam Aydin, Maria Giuseppina Akm Bruna Oct 2026

From External Relational Resources To Sustainable Entrepreneurship Practices In Emerging Markets: The Ethical Role Of Dynamic Capabilities, Duysal Warsi Askun, Nihal Yazici, Erhan Alam Aydin, Maria Giuseppina Akm Bruna

Publications and Research

This paper investigates how external relational resources, namely business and political ties, drive sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) practices in Turkish SMEs operating under institutional fragility. The study applies PLS-SEM to survey data from 257 employees of sustainability-engaged firms, based on their evaluations. Results show that both business and political ties significantly strengthen dynamic capabilities, which in turn predict four dimensions of sustainable entrepreneurship: employee-friendly, social-solidarity, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly practices. Inclusive leadership, however, does not moderate these relationships, revealing a boundary condition for leadership theory in network-dependent contexts. The study contributes to SE research by showing how dynamic capabilities connect external …

Citizenship At Sea: A Comparative Perspective On Blue Justice In The Andaman Sea And The Mediterranean In The Context Of Climate Change, Emilio Cocco Oct 2026

Citizenship At Sea: A Comparative Perspective On Blue Justice In The Andaman Sea And The Mediterranean In The Context Of Climate Change, Emilio Cocco

Pace Environmental Law Review

Discourses of the ocean in the sociological and socio-legal world have, until recently, been approached from majoritarian, terrestrial, profane and nation-centric perspectives. These perspectives are embedded in legal and regulatory regimes to the detriment of Indigenous and marginalized maritime communities. Drawing on the blue turn in sociology and socio-legal scholarship, this Article, in comparing the experiences of the Moken people of the Andaman Sea with those of migrants, fishers, and island communities in the Mediterranean, exposes the violence of such narratives. Through a comparative analysis of maritime borders, marine protected areas, tourism, and fisheries regulation, the Article explores how governance …

Mass Resettlement Politics And The Future Of Hyper-Local Climate Migration Strategies, Sarah Rogerson Oct 2026

Mass Resettlement Politics And The Future Of Hyper-Local Climate Migration Strategies, Sarah Rogerson

Pace Environmental Law Review

Climate change is requiring state and local governments to engage in short- and long-term strategic thinking and municipal planning. Critically, the movement of people from communities that have become uninhabitable due to climate change to other communities in more resilient areas (sometimes called “climate havens”) is a reality that most municipalities in the United States are not currently well-equipped to address. Experts predict as many as 1.2 billion climate-related migrants worldwide by 2050, with at least 93 million Americans expected to relocate to more habitable places by 2070. To put this into perspective, 93 million people is just under the …

Climate Migration And Reparations: Reflections On The Icj Advisory Opinion On Climate Change, Carmen G. Gonzalez Oct 2026

Climate Migration And Reparations: Reflections On The Icj Advisory Opinion On Climate Change, Carmen G. Gonzalez

Pace Environmental Law Review

Climate mobility governance is at an inflection point. Major developments, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion on climate change, are opening legal pathways to climate reparations and reshaping global policy debates on climate-induced migration. Climate-vulnerable states and peoples are calling for reparations for the intertwined injustices of slavery, colonialism and climate change and for legal frameworks that recognize the right to stay and the right to migrate based on the right to self-determination. This article examines the legal and ethical basis for reparative approaches to climate-induced migration. The article discusses the link between climate change and …

Buddy, Can You Spare A Claim?: Sparing Debtors' Claims From Dismissal Under The Doctrine Of Judicial Estoppel, Post-Keathley V. Buddy Ayers Construction, Inc., Abigail Bright Willie Oct 2026

Buddy, Can You Spare A Claim?: Sparing Debtors' Claims From Dismissal Under The Doctrine Of Judicial Estoppel, Post-Keathley V. Buddy Ayers Construction, Inc., Abigail Bright Willie

ConLawNOW

In Keathley v. Buddy Ayers Construction, Inc., the Supreme Court considered the (decidedly) unglamorous issue of the proper standard for determining when judicial estoppel may be applied. While the case did not attract front page news, those in the bankruptcy law world knew the stakes, as evidenced by the amicus briefs filed by retired bankruptcy judges, bankruptcy scholars, and national bankruptcy organizations. They recognized that, if a merely inadvertent omission by a debtor in required disclosure documents could result in dismissal on judicial estoppel grounds of an otherwise prosecutable claim, there would be profound implications for the estate and …

Infrastructure-Neutral Dispute Processing With Synchronized State Views, Soumendra Kumar Mishra Oct 2026

Infrastructure-Neutral Dispute Processing With Synchronized State Views, Soumendra Kumar Mishra

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to an infrastructure-neutral dispute processing method and system that maintains a synchronized, real-time transaction state across geographically distributed and independently managed data centers. Upon receiving a dispute request, a transaction summary is obtained from the originating data center, and only the required transaction state elements are synchronously and atomically written to targeted regional nodes of an independently hosted cloud data store, outside the ETL ingestion path. Once all nodes confirm the write, a point-in-time state view is created, capturing transaction identifiers and state elements from the originating data center and serving as the sole authoritative source …

Mapping The Association Of College And Research Libraries Framework To Baylor’S Four Cs Of General Education, Ellen Hampton Filgo Oct 2026

Mapping The Association Of College And Research Libraries Framework To Baylor’S Four Cs Of General Education, Ellen Hampton Filgo

The Christian Librarian

As institutions increasingly seek to articulate the value of information literacy within broader educational missions, academic libraries are challenged to align instructional practice with institutional learning goals. This article explores that alignment by placing the Association of College and Research Libraries Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education in conversation with Baylor University’s general education outcomes, known as the Four Cs. Through an interpretive mapping of the Framework’s threshold concepts to the Four Cs, the study reveals how information literacy supports multiple dimensions of undergraduate learning, including communication, critical thinking, civic engagement, and Christian perspective. The analysis demonstrates that Baylor’s …
