Peer Support For Medical Interpreters: Is Confidentiality A Barrier?, Josie Carballido, Amy Olen, Paulina Lim, W. Hobart Davies, Kristin Nordness Sep 2024

Peer Support For Medical Interpreters: Is Confidentiality A Barrier?, Josie Carballido, Amy Olen, Paulina Lim, W. Hobart Davies, Kristin Nordness

International Journal of Interpreter Education

In this commentary, the authors explore medical interpreters’ views on confidentiality and sharing feelings with other interpreters about emotionally difficult interpreting encounters. Confidentiality is presented as a potential barrier for interpreters seeking peer support for coping with distress related to their work in a hospital. Interpreter insights were gathered in a mixed methods research project. We present a confidentiality training tool that the authors developed in response to interpreter perspectives. The aim of this training tool is to provide a decision-making mechanism for interpreters when they want to access peer support while also respecting legal stipulations and interpreter ethics on …

Neutral Business Assistance And The Limits Of Complicity Under International Criminal Law, Nikola R. Hajdin Sep 2024

Neutral Business Assistance And The Limits Of Complicity Under International Criminal Law, Nikola R. Hajdin

Michigan Journal of International Law

Business transactions between corporations and actors involved in grave human rights violations present significant challenges for the assessment of corporate criminal liability. This is particularly evident in cases of “neutral business assistance,” which refer to business conduct that appears legitimate on the surface and falls within day-to-day business operations but nonetheless contributes to the crime. An example of neutral business assistance is selling generic goods (for example, computer technology) legally at market rates, without the explicit intent to aid criminal activity, that increases the perpetrator’s capacity to carry out human rights violations. In such cases, discerning the point at which …


Aggressor State, Aggressor Individual, And What International Law Does/Should Protect, Nurbanu Hayır Sep 2024

Aggressor State, Aggressor Individual, And What International Law Does/Should Protect, Nurbanu Hayır

Michigan Journal of International Law

This note examines the measures taken against Russian citizens in the context of the Russo-Ukrainian War in positive international law and analyzes the rationale for sanctioning individual citizens of an aggressor state. It questions whether the gravity of state aggression by Russia enables measures targeting individuals based solely on their Russian citizenship by investigating whether the blanket denial of asylum and imposition of travel bans for Russian citizens constitutes a breach of norms of international law. It further tests this citizenship link by turning to the legality of denationalization of pro-Russian Ukrainian citizens under international law. Building on this foundation, …

Maximizing Productivity Through Digital Panopticism: Combatting Invasive Employee Surveillance Systems In The Workplace, Amber Wooten Sep 2024

Maximizing Productivity Through Digital Panopticism: Combatting Invasive Employee Surveillance Systems In The Workplace, Amber Wooten

West Virginia Law Review

The United States has experienced rapid advancements in surveillance technology and data collection in the past three decades. Conversely, since the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work opportunities have increased, with many remote workers being subjected to surveillance within their homes. Given the lack of significant statutory measures to safeguard remote employees against incessant surveillance, employers can monitor employees, collect data, and enforce unattainable productivity quotas with little repercussions. Despite these harms, the influx of remote jobs presents significant benefits, especially for states like West Virginia, which faces immense population decline and lacks consistent physical job opportunities. Remote work promotes flexibility and …

Mental Health Screening In Lawyer Licensing, Grahm Ambrose, Brianne Holland-Sergar, Nora Freeman Engstrom Sep 2024

Mental Health Screening In Lawyer Licensing, Grahm Ambrose, Brianne Holland-Sergar, Nora Freeman Engstrom

Faculty Journal Articles & Other Writings

This report examines the role of mental health screening in lawyer licensing, focusing on its evolution, current practices, and criticisms. It highlights concerns that such screening may discourage treatment, perpetuate stigma, and lack empirical support for improving public protection. While many states have shifted from broad inquiries into diagnoses and treatment history toward narrower questions about conduct or impairment, most still retain some form of screening. The report also reviews legal, ethical, and practical challenges, including potential conflicts with disability law. Overall, it concludes that although reforms have reduced intrusiveness, significant debate remains about the necessity and effectiveness of mental …


The Last Frontier: Fair Procedure In Informal Administrative Adjudication, Michael Asimow Sep 2024

The Last Frontier: Fair Procedure In Informal Administrative Adjudication, Michael Asimow

Michigan Journal of Environmental & Administrative Law

The federal government engages in massive amounts of informal adjudication - a process that resolves a dispute between the government and a private party by making an individualized and legally binding decision without being required to conduct an evidentiary hearing if the dispute is not settled. This article sketches the highly diverse world of federal informal adjudication and surveys the procedural requirements imposed on it by due process and federal statutes. It proposes a set of best practices for conducting and improving informal adjudication that are rooted in those legal requirements. Agencies should adapt these practices to their individual circumstances …


Solving The Stranded Asset Problem Of Retiring Coal Plants: An Evaluation Of Regulatory Approaches, Matthew Appel Sep 2024

Solving The Stranded Asset Problem Of Retiring Coal Plants: An Evaluation Of Regulatory Approaches, Matthew Appel

Michigan Journal of Environmental & Administrative Law

Meeting the Biden administration's goal of cutting greenhouse gases by at least 50 percent from 2005 levels by 2030 will necessarily require transitioning the U.S. energy system away from carbon-intensive fossil fuels like coal. However, coal plants that are retiring early in states with regulated electricity markets usually still have undepreciated book value that has not yet been recovered from ratepayers. If not handled correctly, these "stranded assets" could have financial consequences for utility companies and cause them to actively oppose the energy transition. This Note aims to evaluate possible solutions to this problem. Through the prism of ratemaking legal …


Far From Their Origins: A Transcriptomic Investigation On How 2,4-Di-Tert-Butyl-6-(5-Chloro-2h-Benzotriazol-2-Yl) Phenol Affects Rainbow Trout Alevins, Andreas N.M. Eriksson, Justin Dubiel, Alper James Alcaraz, Jon A. Doering, Steve Wiseman Sep 2024

Far From Their Origins: A Transcriptomic Investigation On How 2,4-Di-Tert-Butyl-6-(5-Chloro-2h-Benzotriazol-2-Yl) Phenol Affects Rainbow Trout Alevins, Andreas N.M. Eriksson, Justin Dubiel, Alper James Alcaraz, Jon A. Doering, Steve Wiseman

Faculty Publications

Benzotriazole ultraviolet stabilizers (BUVSs) are a group of widely used chemicals added to a variety of consumer (e.g., plastics) and industrial (e.g., metal coating) goods. Although detected globally as an environmentally persistent pollutant, BUVSs have received relatively little toxicological attention and only recently have been acknowledged to affect development and the endocrine system in vivo. In our previous study, altered behavior, indicative of potential neurotoxicity, was observed among rainbow trout alevins (day 14 posthatching) that were microinjected as embryos with a single environmentally relevant dose of 2,4-di-tert-butyl–6-(5-chloro-2H-benzotriazol-2-yl) phenol (UV-327). In the present follow-up study, we performed whole-transcriptome profiling (RNA sequencing) …


Discarded Vehicle Tires And Their Association With Mosquito Vector Abundance Across Socioenvironmental Gradients In New Orleans, La, Rebeca De Jesús Crespo, Alexandros Pavlakis, Jennifer Breaux, Claudia Riegel Sep 2024

Discarded Vehicle Tires And Their Association With Mosquito Vector Abundance Across Socioenvironmental Gradients In New Orleans, La, Rebeca De Jesús Crespo, Alexandros Pavlakis, Jennifer Breaux, Claudia Riegel

Faculty Publications

Discarded vehicle tires serve as habitat for mosquito vectors. In New Orleans, Louisiana, discarded tires are an increasingly important public concern, especially considering that the city is home to many medically important mosquito species. Discarded tires are known to be associated with mosquito abundance, but how their presence interacts with other socioenvironmental gradients to influence mosquito ecology is poorly understood. Here, we ask whether discarded tire distribution could be explained by social factors, particularly median income, home vacancy and human population density, and whether these factors interact with urban heat islands (UHI) to drive mosquito vector assemblages. We surveyed tire …


On The Injectivity Of The Shifted Funk–Radon Transform And Related Harmonic Analysis, Boris Rubin Sep 2024

On The Injectivity Of The Shifted Funk–Radon Transform And Related Harmonic Analysis, Boris Rubin

Faculty Publications

Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for injectivity of the shifted Funk–Radon transform associated with k-dimensional totally geodesic submanifolds of the unit sphere Sn in ℝn+1. This result generalizes the well known statement for the spherical means on Sn and is formulated in terms of zeros of Jacobi polynomials. The relevant harmonic analysis is developed, including a new concept of induced Stiefel (or Grassmannian) harmonics, the Funk–Hecke type theorems, addition formula, and multipliers. Some perspectives and conjectures are discussed.


Toward A Comparative Framework For Studies Of Altitudinal Migration, David Vander Pluym, Nicholas A. Mason Sep 2024

Toward A Comparative Framework For Studies Of Altitudinal Migration, David Vander Pluym, Nicholas A. Mason

Faculty Publications

The study and importance of altitudinal migration has attracted increasing interest among zoologists. Altitudinal migrants are taxonomically widespread and move across altitudinal gradients as partial or complete migrants, subjecting them to a wide array of environments and ecological interactions. Here, we present a brief synthesis of recent developments in the field and suggest future directions toward a more taxonomically inclusive comparative framework for the study of altitudinal migration. Our framework centers on a working definition of altitudinal migration that hinges on its biological relevance, which is scale-dependent and related to fitness outcomes. We discuss linguistic nuances of altitudinal movements and …


Ritual Child Homicides In Ghana And Kenya: A Criminological Analysis, Emmanuel Sarpong Owusu Sep 2024

Ritual Child Homicides In Ghana And Kenya: A Criminological Analysis, Emmanuel Sarpong Owusu

Dignity: A Journal of Analysis of Exploitation and Violence

Child homicide is a frequent occurrence in many African communities, and juju beliefs trigger a sizable proportion of this crime. Yet a systematic and critical analysis of juju’s impact on pedicides is lacking in the literature. The sparse extant studies on juju-driven homicide or ritual murder mainly offer historical perspectives rather than criminological analysis of the phenomenon. The present study explores the magnitude, characteristics, and motivations, as well as the socio-cultural and economic contexts of ritual child homicide or juju-driven pedicide (i.e., the killing of children for ritual or occult purposes) in Ghana and Kenya. This aim is achieved by …


Epilogue, Noe Alexander Aguado Sep 2024

Epilogue, Noe Alexander Aguado

Politics, Justice, Law, and Philosophy

This collection intended to update Thomson’s (2002) work in time for the 125th anniversary of the 1901 Constitution. The essays in A Century of Controversy continue to be enlightening. Alabama’s tumultuous history is fascinating and troubling. The book highlights that the framers of the 1901 Constitution sought to create a form of government that institutionalized white supremacy, undermining democracy in the process. Throughout Alabama’s history, when opportunities arose to right the wrongs of the 1901 Constitutional Convention – to adequately fund education and infrastructure and allow for local-level democracy – Alabama’s lawmakers have consistently chosen not to do so …

Balancing Interests: Ai, Business & Human Rights, And The Legal Landscape In An Era Of Disruption, Jena Martin, Ritu Narula Sep 2024

Balancing Interests: Ai, Business & Human Rights, And The Legal Landscape In An Era Of Disruption, Jena Martin, Ritu Narula

West Virginia Law Review

On October 30, 2023, the Biden Administration issued a sweeping executive order espousing a policy to advance the development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) while also establishing safeguards across the federal government. The Executive Order marked the U.S. government’s largest move forward related to the regulation of AI. The Order also represents the government’s latest effort to advance equity, privacy, and national security in the use of AI systems. Moreover, the Order comes at a time when governments around the world are wrestling with the impact of AI and its disruptive effect, not just on markets, but on society …


Ownership And Development Of Rare Earth Elements And Critical Minerals In Mine Drainage In West Virginia, Robert E. Akers Sep 2024

Ownership And Development Of Rare Earth Elements And Critical Minerals In Mine Drainage In West Virginia, Robert E. Akers

West Virginia Law Review

This Article argues in support of recent legislation which clarifies legal title to potentially valuable substances derived from the treatment of mine drainage in West Virginia’s waters. West Virginia University has been researching the commercial viability of extracting rare earth elements and other critical minerals from coal mine drainage and coal mine waste. If successful, the research may foster a new industry and provide citizens and wildlife with cleaner water flowing in West Virginia’s rivers and streams. The West Virginia Legislature was concerned that ownership disputes and litigation might harm the development of this potential resource and enacted statutory provisions …


Growth-Promoting Bacteria And Salicylic Acid Improve Essential Oil, Flower Yield, And Compatible Osmolyte Content Of Common Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium L.) Under Drought Stress, Mohsen Zarepour, Mohammad Mehdi Rahimi, Abdul Samad Kelidari, Moslem Abdipour Sep 2024

Growth-Promoting Bacteria And Salicylic Acid Improve Essential Oil, Flower Yield, And Compatible Osmolyte Content Of Common Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium L.) Under Drought Stress, Mohsen Zarepour, Mohammad Mehdi Rahimi, Abdul Samad Kelidari, Moslem Abdipour

The Philippine Agricultural Scientist

Drought is one of the major constraints on agricultural productivity in arid and semiarid regions. Coping with drought stress involves several adaptations and mitigation strategies such as the use of plant-growth promoting bacteria and salicylic acid, which was examined in this study under two levels of water regimes (well-watered as control and drought stress) in southwest Iran in 2018 and 2020 on common yarrow (Achillea millefolium). Catalase levels significantly increased in response to drought stress and salicylic acid application. Salicylic acid and combined application treatment of both bacteria also resulted in a significant increase in proline compared with …


Carbon Cycling Driven By Disturbance In A Tropical Freshwater Ecosystem, Alicia Dixon Sep 2024

Carbon Cycling Driven By Disturbance In A Tropical Freshwater Ecosystem, Alicia Dixon

Master's Theses and Capstones

Streams are hotspots for biogeochemical cycling in freshwater ecosystems and act as transformers for elements moving throughout their watersheds. Small watersheds in particular are the ideal natural laboratory for exploring how freshwater systems react to inputs and outputs of carbon, nitrogen, and other trace elements. Carbon cycling occurs throughout watersheds at different scales and through different pathways. Organic matter enters a stream from surrounding terrestrial environments, and is subsequently consumed by microbes, macroinvertebrates, and other freshwater organisms. The fate of organic matter in a stream is diverse, but some common pathways include emission as carbon dioxide through metabolic processes, movement …


The Takings Blunderbuss: From Pennsylvania Coal To Dobbs, Michael Allan Wolf Sep 2024

The Takings Blunderbuss: From Pennsylvania Coal To Dobbs, Michael Allan Wolf

UF Law Faculty Publications

This Article explores three problems with the excess use of the Takings Clause (the "takings blunderbuss") that should cause concern not to left-wing judges and scholars who endorse seemingly unfettered activism from the bench and champion an organic view of the Constitution, but instead, and somewhat surprisingly, to conservatives who claim to eschew those practices. The first problem is that the text and original understanding, as far as we can discern, indicate that the Takings Clause was designed to ensure that owners receive payment when they are forced to sacrifice ownership of their tangible property for public use, most commonly …


The System Works As Intended: Alabama’S 1901 Constitution And Financing Public Education, Brucie Porter Sep 2024

The System Works As Intended: Alabama’S 1901 Constitution And Financing Public Education, Brucie Porter

Politics, Justice, Law, and Philosophy

From 1990-2014, Alabama fought against improving the property tax system for the benefit of public schools in Knight v. Alabama (2007) and Lynch v. Alabama (2014). Knight and Lynch charged the State with upholding a racially discriminatory property tax system that served to keep public school systems, particularly in rural, predominately Black counties, severely underfunded. Brown v. Board compelled Alabama to desegregate its school systems with “all deliberate speed,” but school systems remained unequal due to funding disparities from the state’s overly complicated tax system. Despite over 700 amendments by 2014, Alabama’s constitution left the property tax system created in …


Political Indifference And The Withering Of Democracy In Alabama, Noe Alexander Aguado Sep 2024

Political Indifference And The Withering Of Democracy In Alabama, Noe Alexander Aguado

Politics, Justice, Law, and Philosophy

Alabama’s 1901 Constitution was drafted to codify white supremacy by removing African Americans from the voter rolls. Alabama did not invent voter suppression, nor does it have a monopoly on policies that deny African Americans, minorities, and poor people the right to vote. This chapter provides examples of how and to what effect disenfranchisement has been used in Alabama and other communities throughout the United States. This chapter also chronicles Alabama’s unique constitutional feature that centralizes policymaking in the capitol – further suppressing democracy at the local level to the advantage of affluent interest groups entrenched in Montgomery. Consolidating policymaking …


A New Way Forward For Alabama Prisons, Brandon L. Blankenship Sep 2024

A New Way Forward For Alabama Prisons, Brandon L. Blankenship

Politics, Justice, Law, and Philosophy

Blankenship delves into the harrowing realities and historical evolution of Alabama’s prison system, offering a critical lens on Alabama’s prisons from their inception to the present day. The narrative begins with a vivid description of the dire conditions within the prisons, where systemic violence, neglect, and deprivation prevail, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive reform. It traces the roots of the current crisis back to the state’s early reluctance to establish a penitentiary system, coupled with a persistent failure to address the underlying issues of overcrowding, inadequate healthcare, and violence. The chapter highlights the historical role of federal interventions in …
