Forensic Scholars Today

This article explores the challenges associated with identifying and diagnosing fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) in detoxification centers throughout the United States.

River City Blues: The Quest For Municipal Home Rule & Economic Security In St. Louis, Josef Wibbenmeyer

Undergraduate Research Symposium

The Great Divorce in St. Louis, the separation of the City and County of St. Louis in 1876 is one of the most impactful events in the region’s history. Most people will think of the Great Divorce in simple terms like "The County didn't like the City." or "The City didn't want to pay tax money that went to the County alone." Few, however, go further and ask why. Why didn't the City want to pay taxes to the County? The answer is economics. I found in my research compelling evidence that the City leadership believed that the municipal relationship …

(En)Countering White Noise: A Narrative Study Of How Students Of Color Experience And Navigate Rural, Predominantly White High Schools, Nichole Theresa Ivey

Doctor of Education Program Dissertations

The omission of students’ of Color experiences from education research reconstitutes political and social narratives that determine who belongs in literal and symbolic spatial contexts in the United States. Meanwhile, racial opportunity gaps emerge in the schoolhouse and endure over the course of the lifespan because educational attainment is a catalyst for economic mobility and other positive life outcomes. The problem addressed in this study was the dearth of research exploring the experiences of students of Color who attend rural, predominantly White high schools. Using narrative inquiry, the aim of this study was to disrupt normative White perspectives (individual and …

Regulating Algorithmic Harms, Sylvia Lu

Law & Economics Working Papers

In recent years, the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) innovations has led to a rise in algorithmic harms—harms emerging from AI operations that pose significant threats to civil rights and democratic values in today’s technological landscape. A facial recognition system for improving criminal detection wrongly collected sensitive personal data and flagged racial minorities as shoplifters. A risk-prediction algorithm adopted to identify patients denied medical treatment to Black individuals with poor health conditions. A social media algorithm intended to boost social engagement exacerbated addictive behavior and mental illness in teenagers. These harms are becoming increasingly ubiquitous yet often manifest in …

Mechanisms Underlying Age-Associated Exacerbation Of Pulmonary Veno-Occlusive Disease, Amit Prabhakar, Meetu Wadhwa, Rahul Kumar, Prajakta Ghatpande, Aneta Gandjeva, Rubin M. Tuder, Brian B. Graham, Giorgio Lagna, Akiko Hata

Biology

Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is a rare but severe form of pulmonary hypertension characterized by the obstruction of pulmonary arteries and veins, causing increased pulmonary artery pressure and leading to right ventricular (RV) heart failure. PVOD is often resistant to conventional pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) treatments and has a poor prognosis, with a median survival time of 2–3 years after diagnosis. We previously showed that the administration of a chemotherapy agent mitomycin C (MMC) in rats mediates PVOD through the activation of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2) kinase protein kinase R (PKR) and the integrated stress response (ISR), resulting …

Racializing Digital Campus Spaces: A Critical Phenomenological Approach To Understanding (Re)Production Of Whiteness In Digital Campus Ecology, Victoria Elizabeth Callais

Dissertations

The landscape of higher education campus environments continues to change as student populations diversify (Parsons, 2023; Renn & Reason, 2013) and campus spaces extend into the digital realm. This critical phenomenological study examined organizational features that racialize digital campus ecology by examining the phenomena of interest, racialized digital campus spaces (RDCS). Through semi-structured interviews and focus groups with undergraduate students that focused on their experiences with RDCS and semi-structured interviews with administrators that focused on the organizational infrastructure and campus digital culture, findings revealed a complex understanding of campus ecology when reflecting on issues around race. I introduce Augmented Reality …

Successful Economic Crisis Management Strategies Used By Small- And Medium-Size Enterprise Food Service Business Managers In The British West Indies, Lancelott Barnes

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Poor crisis management strategies caused small and medium-sized food service enterprise leaders to permanently close business operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. These closures resulted in significant economic losses and reduced employment opportunities in the industry. Grounded in the relational crisis management model, this qualitative pragmatic inquiry aimed to understand the economic crisis management strategies used by business managers in the food services industries to prevent business closures in the British West Indies. Data were collected from semistructured interviews with six business managers in the food services industry who successfully navigated their businesses through the COVID-19 pandemic. Four themes that emerged …

Parental Perceptions Of Child Neglect And Triggering Factors, Magaly Jeanty Arthus

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Child neglect is the most widely reported and substantiated form of maltreatment in the United States. Although the federal government establishes the minimal definition, acts, and behaviors that comprise child neglect, there are discrepancies at the national, state, local, and organizational levels in how child neglect is defined. The purpose of this study was to increase the understanding of how parents perceive the definition of child neglect and the factors they believe trigger it. Using the social cognitive theory as the theoretical foundation, the generic qualitative research design was used to explore the perceptions of child neglect and beliefs of …

Wynn V. Associated Press, 140 Nev. Adv. Op. 56 (Sept. 5, 2024), Elisabeth Holmgren

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

Nevada law recognizes the importance of First Amendment rights and the chilling effect that defamation suits can have on free speech and the right to petition. To mitigate this, Nevada’s anti-SLAPP statutes allow defendants to file a special motion to dismiss, enabling early resolution of meritless claims. Courts follow a two-pronged framework to resolve these motions. Under prong one, defendants must show, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the claim is based on a good faith communication on an issue of public concern. If this burden is met, then the burden shifts to the plaintiff under the second prong …

Request Strategies Used In Instant Messaging In Whatsapp Groups (Wags): Portraying The Pragmatic Competence Of Efl Students, Nawras Rahim Abourahim, Nunung Suryati, Yazid Basthomi

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

This study aims to investigate the request strategies used by students and their lecturers through Instant Messaging (IM) in WhatsApp groups (WAGs). This study used a qualitative research design to analyze the language used by students and their lecturers in WAGs. The data was collected through the analysis of WAGs conversations between students and their lecturers. Previous studies have extensively argued that students are less polite language users when sending texts to their lecturers, and the current study sought to examine the politeness strategies used by the students. The data analysis was carried out in the light the theory of …
