The Clinical Profile Of Psychopathy, Patrick Carabell, Patrick J. Carabell

Undergraduate Research and Engagement Symposium

People with psychopathy are characterized as callous, non- empathic, manipulative, impulsive, and crime prone. The definition of psychopathy is imprecise, and the condition is not recognized as a mental disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5-TR). This project examines research on the spectrum of traits and behaviors that constitute psychopathy. We compare psychopathy with antisocial personality disorder and other similar clinical profiles in terms of how such anomalies are assessed, managed, and treated in different settings. We posit that the further codification of psychopathy as a diagnosable disorder could help in identifying interventions and treatments for this condition.

Older Adult Aerobic Capacity, Muscular Strength, Fitness And Body Composition After 20+ Years Of Exercise Training: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis, Eric Leslie, Vincent Luna, Ann L. Gibson

International Journal of Exercise Science

International Journal of Exercise Science 16(3): 620-637, 2023. Older adults (³ 65 years) are recommended to participate in regular exercise to maintain health in late adulthood. The impact of long-term (20+ years) exercise training that align with the American College of Sports Medicine’s (ACSM) recommended guidelines has not been evaluated for older adults. To address this, a systematic review and meta-analyses were performed regarding the effects of long-term exercise training on older adult aerobic capacity, muscular fitness, and body composition that meet the ACSM’s recommendation for weekly training volume. Ten studies with individuals that performed cardiorespiratory or resistance exercise met …

Eula, Or Eulogy? Reckoning End User License Agreements And Near-Future Cyborgs, Owen Carpenter

Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine

Integrated biotechnology is a quickly-approaching future legal issue that will blur the line between technology and person. The technology will likely run through some kind of software, and users of the technology will likely need to agree to some type of licensing agreement to use the software. End User License Agreements (“EULAs”) as they exist today have terms and clauses that will be problematic when applied to an implanted artificial heart, a replacement for the human eye that enhances vision, or other types of integrated technology. Current FDA regulation and EULAs are insufficient to deal with the problems that technology …

From Roe V. Wade To Dobbs V. Jackson – Between Women’S Rights Discourse And Obligations Discourse, Pnina Lifshitz-Aviram, Yehezkel Margalit

Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine

Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court published its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturning the landmark abortion case, Roe v. Wade. In 1973, two groundbreaking abortion decisions were handed down by the same Court – Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton – recognizing a woman’s fundamental constitutional right to obtain an abortion until fetal viability. The ensuring nationwide judiciary recognition of women’s basic rights was abruptly shaken by the Dobbs v. Jackson’s ruling that “the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion.” Dobbs’ reversal of these prior cases has created a legal, political, and public upheaval. …

Opioid Lawsuits: Is There Any End In Sight?, Richard C. Ausness

Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine

The opioid epidemic has led to a surge in litigation against opioid manufacturers, distributors, and retail pharmacy chains. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the legal landscape surrounding opioid lawsuits. It discusses the chemical nature of opioids, marketing practices of Purdue Pharma and others, and the largely unsuccessful personal injury cases brought against Purdue by private individuals prior to 2014. The article also examines the public nuisance doctrine—the most popular liability theory invoked by government plaintiffs—and analyzes three of the most important litigation pathways: (1) suits by individual government entities, usually states; (2) multidistrict litigation (MDL); and (3) bankruptcy …

Disclosing Privacy And Discrimination Protections In Informed Consent, Anya E.R. Prince

Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine

Recent empirical work shows that providing greater detail about limitations of genetic anti-discrimination protections in informed consent documents is likely to lower individuals’ willingness to participate in research studies. This article presents these empirical findings and analyzes the implications of the findings for clinical care and for privacy and discrimination risks beyond genetic discrimination. While the paper argues that further research is needed to fully understand the potential implications of disclosure of legal protections in the clinical setting, there are clear implications in the research setting. Since individuals are likely to alter their decision to participate in research based on …

Stable Isotopic Investigation Of The Hydrological Cycle Of West-Central Florida, Toedsit Netratanawong

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Stable isotopic compositions of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen were used to identify the sources of water and of organic matter, pathway reactions, evaporation processes, and transfer mechanisms among various water types as well as the extent of water-rock reactions. An attempt to understand the isotopic compositions of the hydrological cycle of west-central Florida, their variations, baseline levels and controlling mechanisms constitutes parts of this dissertation.

A comparison of δ¹⁸O in rainwater (weighted mean = -4.4 o/oo) and surficial ground water (mean = -4.1 o/oo) indicates that rainwater recharges the surficial aquifer with only a minor isotopic change. δ …

Diagnosing Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy In Athletes, Chalisa Srisukajorn, Tamonwan Megan Jirakulaporn, Helen C Huang, Erik Fung, Polakit Teekakirikul

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a young asymptomatic individual is a devastating, unpredictable event, with a widespread impact on the public health system. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common form of genetic heart disease, and considered one of the leading causes of SCD affecting young and frequently asymptomatic patients. A diagnosis of HCM is challenging particularly in young athletes due to overlapping clinical phenotypesbetween pathological left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and exercise-induced physiological LVH. Severalinvestigational tools have been used to differentiate these two distinct entities. This review article focuses upon the diagnosis of HCM in young athletes, SCD risk assessment, …

Breast Tissue Tumor Detection Using Microstrip Patch Antenna With Defected Ground Structure, Nihal F. F. Areed, Hamdi Ahmed El Mikati, Laila T. Rakha

Mansoura Engineering Journal

This work proposes a slotted microstrip patch antenna with an inset feed and defective ground structure (DGS). The proposed antenna is built with Roger-RT/5880 (Ԑr=2.2) as the substrate material for X-band application with a resonant frequency of 10 GHz. The proposed design has been simulated using Finite Element Method (FEM) and the results of bandwidth and gain read about 700MHz and 8dB; respectively. The suggested design is compared with previously published equivalent designs in light of the most recent research. The comparison reveal that that the suggested design with tuned dimensions offers higher gain and wider bandwidth than what has …

Assessing The Possibility And Properties Of Types I And Ii Chalcogen Bonds, Steve Scheiner

Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Publications

Type I and II halogen bonds are well-recognized motifs that commonly occur within crystals. Quantum calculations are applied to examine whether such geometries might occur in their closely related chalcogen bond cousins. Homodimers are constructed of the R1R2C=Y and R1R2Y monomers, wherein Y represents a chalcogen atom, S, Se, or Te; R1 and R2 refer to either H or F. A Type II (T2) geometry wherein the lone pair of one Y is closely aligned with a σ-hole of its partner represents a stable arrangement for all except YH2, although not all such structures are true minima. The symmetric T1 …

Gender And Ethnic Disparities In Students' Perceptions Of How Different Groups Of Persons Suspected Of Possessing And/Or Selling Illegal Drugs Are Treated In The Criminal Justice System., Manuel J. Carvajal, Assma Twahir, Ioana Popovici

HPD Articles

Ethnic minorities and individuals of low socioeconomics status are disproportionately more likely to be detained, arrested, and convicted and receive longer sentences for drug offenses. This article explores gender and ethnic differentials among college students' perceptions on the criminal justice treatment of different gender, ethnic, and income groups applied to alleged drug offenders. It uses survey data provided by students at a large public university in South Florida. A two-way classification model examines the nature of disparities in perceptions. Students perceive widespread ethnic inequalities and female and Black students perceive greater disparities in the criminal justice system for all disadvantaged …

Blessed, Broken, And Shared, Joseph Penny

Obsculta

This paper seeks to boldly confront the evils of racism while simultaneously pointing to a renewed baptismal ecclesiology and a praxis of radical communion as a way forward. Venturing into the unknown, we will persevere onward to the road less traveled by briefly charting the Catholic Church's historical cooperation with White Supremacy. We will also celebrate the wisdom gleaned from Black and Latin American communities and their seemingly mundane yet deeply sacred rituals.

Markets, Regulation, And Inevitability: The Case For Property Rights In Outer Space, Eliot T. Tracz

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

In 1967, a number of countries—including the United States— entered into the Outer Space Treaty. This treaty established the fundamental rules by which countries are to conduct themselves in outer space. At the time, there was more concern about the possibility of the Cold War, and thus nuclear weaponry, extending into space and very little consideration of commercial activity, which was largely the province of Science Fiction. Today, commercialization of space includes satellites, private companies contracting for government work, space tourism, and the early stages of testing materials for resource extraction. Interestingly, no international system for the recognition of property …

Widening The Lens From Genesis 19:5 To Genesis 18 And 19: A Remedy For Transmitted Blindness, Kelly Olson

Obsculta

This article is the product of an exercise in scriptural interpretation. The text of Genesis 18 and 19 were chosen due to an awareness of a common theme propagated by culture and the desire to better understand the content of the text using tools of interpretation that connect ancient text with contemporary human experience in hopes to open access to a diverse population that nurtures and elevates creation rather than divide and harm marginalized populations.
