Who Cares For The Forgotten Parent? The Overlooked Grief Of Non-Birthing Parents In The Nicu, Ron Ryan Bautista

Biennial Convention (CONV)

This research presentation examines the experiences of loss and emotionality of the non-birthing parents in NICUs, where most of the conventional support structures address themselves to birthing parents. Using a phenomenological research method of semi-structured interviews and applying thematic analysis, this research gathers the motivational and granular experiences of the non-birthing parents, who are often left emotionally drained and encouraged to suppress their emotions for the birthing partner. Best practices are called for that emphasize emotionally supportive programs and services that recognize all parents as individuals who may need help coping with the demands of parenting. According to the study, …

Bias-Based Bullying Among Middle Eastern & North African Students: Potential Protective Factors, Nadeen Alshakhshir, Barbara Mcmorris, Hana-May Eadeh

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Bullying victimization among school students is associated with negative psychosocial experiences such as anxiety, depression, and sometimes suicidality.^1,2 Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) students experience bias-based bullying in schools at high rates compared to other non-minority groups.^1,3 Although much research focuses on this phenomenon, few studies explore the possible protective factors that buffer the effects of bias-based bullying among this specific group of students, such as religious participation and certain developmental assets. Religious participation is associated with less depression and anxiety symptoms among Asian American students.⁴ Developmental assets of empowerment, social competence, and positive identity enable …

Integrating Complete Bond Dissociation In Class Ii Force Fields, Joshua Kemppainen, Hendrik Heinz, Gregory M. Odegard

Michigan Tech Publications

Predicting the physical and mechanical properties of organic materials from purely chemical understandings remains a significant challenge due to the limitations of conventional force fields in molecular dynamics (MD). In this work, we present a novel reformulation of Class II force fields that integrates Morse bond potentials with newly derived cross-term interactions, explicitly capturing complete bond dissociation while maintaining computational efficiency. This reformulated functional form combines the stability of fixed-bond models with the reactive capabilities of bond-breaking force fields, achieving accurate and robust MD predictions across crystalline, semi-crystalline, and amorphous organic systems. Extensive benchmarking confirms its predictive accuracy and speed, …

The Fearless Decision And The Future Of Race-Conscious Charities, Chenglin Liu

Cleveland State Law Review

Historically, courts tended to differentiate between invidious discrimination against racial minorities and benign discrimination against whites in the context of affirmative action movements. With the social movements galvanized by the conservatives and the change of composition of the Supreme Courts and lower courts, the feasibility of race-conscious measures aimed at helping minorities is substantially reduced. The conservatives’ win in Fearless, coupled with the Trump Administration’s attacks on DEI, have produced a self-censoring effect on charitable organizations. Because of these threats, race-conscious charities will have to modify their practices to become more “inclusive” or face legal challenges from conservatives.

Unfollowing Censorship: A Policy-Oriented Analysis Of Government Pressure On Social Media Content Management, William C. Morgan

Cleveland State Law Review

The introduction of social media has facilitated communications and connectivity globally. However, in recent years, social media companies have started to adopt content moderation practices that are directly influenced by government pressure to comply with their requests to arrange information. Typically, these newly adopted practices often aim to censor or diminish the exposure of certain views, comments, and/or posts that the U.S. government, through its actors, dislike or find threatening to national security. This paper examines how informal government outreach to indirectly monitor, and control social media companies’ content moderation practices undermine the platforms’ constitutionally protected editorial autonomy. Consequently, this …

It Takes A Village: Why Developing Community And Implementing Collaborative Teaching Methods In The Legal Classroom Fosters True Inclusivity, Activates Active Learning, And Promotes The Attainment Of True Knowledge-Creating Students Who Are Better Prepared For The Practice Of Law, Erica L. Kravchenko

Cleveland State Law Review

Legal education has long relied on traditional teaching methods, such as the Socratic, case-dialogue and lecture methods, which prioritize individualism and competition over collaboration. While these methods have historically shaped legal pedagogy, they no longer adequately prepare students for the evolving demands of legal practice. This Article examines the impact of traditional teaching methods on the changing demographic of law students and offers collaborative learning as a potential solution. Specifically, this Article argues that incorporating collaborative learning and fostering a sense of community in legal education are essential for developing well-rounded, practice-ready attorneys. Through an analysis of the legal education’s …

A Rendezvous With Destiny: The President's Ftc Removals And The Rule Of Law, George Sakkopoulos

Cleveland State Law Review

In March 2025, the President removed two commissioners of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”). The removed commissioners called the removals unlawful and challenged them in court, citing the FTC Act’s for-cause removal protection and the Supreme Court’s decision in Humphrey’s. After President Roosevelt removed an FTC commissioner, the Supreme Court in Humphrey’s in 1935 upheld the constitutionality of the FTC Act’s removal limitation based on the FTC being expert, nonpartisan/independent, quasi-judicial, and quasi-legislative. The Court in Seila in 2020 held that the President has “unrestricted removal power” as to the executive branch unless the Humphrey’s exception for “multimember expert …

Introduction Patients who survive admission to intensive care unit (ICU) for critical illness are at high risk of developing muscle atrophy and weakness, commonly diagnosed as ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW). The development of ICUAW is closely linked to long-term symptoms and impairments known as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). Despite heightened recognition of impairments, there is limited research supporting effective interventions to improve muscle and physical outcomes after hospital discharge. Prior to developing and testing interventions for ICU survivors, it is imperative to understand the trajectory of muscle and physical function recovery following an ICU stay. The purpose of this study is …

Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse

People buy brands, not products. That is the age-old, established fact supported by extensive research that every marketer worth his or her salt would always stand by. The interesting thing is that these days, development and pursuance of a successful brand strategy is no longer the sole domain of corporate entities alone, but has seen a cross-over to politics and Governments also. Indeed, many Government now endeavor to transform themselves and operate as corporate entities. Malaysia Inc. is one example. So branding is the key to success. Having said that, the marketers in this audience will vouch that branding is …

An Exploration Of Image Segmentation Techniques For Real-Time Product Detection, Andrew C. Dunton

Master's Theses

Recent progress in LLMs enables advanced multimodal understanding, but their high computational cost necessitates monetization strategies like interactive advertising. While bounding boxes show promise for this concept, they can lack precision and visual appeal. Image segmentation offers a superior solution but faces a dual problem: traditional models demand scarce, costly training data, and open-vocabulary segmentation models like SAM are class-agnostic, unable to semantically identify a "consumer product" object class. In this research, we address these limitations by: 1) developing the Prompt-Guided Inpainting Framework (PGIF), which injects negative prompts to generate robustly annotated synthetic segmented product images; 2) investigating the Class-Agnostic …

Video Engagement To Prepare Future Nursing Faculty For Navigating Difficult Student Conversations, Megan Stuffle, Elizabeth Holtel, Tiffanie Nabinger, Megan Soult, Meg Moorman

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Incivility among students and faculty in nursing education is well-documented^1,7. Incivility can occur during high-stress interactions between students and faculty and can negatively impact emotional well-being and learning¹. To prevent this, faculty must be prepared to navigate these interactions. However, master’s level nursing education students may not independently manage difficult student discussions during practicums. Online modules and simulations could be beneficial for preparing nurse faculty to manage these high-risk, infrequent conversations¹. PlayPosit is a video engagement platform used to create interactive scenarios, allowing for student and faculty collaboration and feedback⁴. The purpose …

Building Confidence And Clinical Judgment In Nursing Students Through Bcma Simulation, Arielle St. Romain, Sharonda Johnson

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Medication errors are a persistent problem in healthcare, with the Institute of Medicine (2007) highlighting their prevalence, estimated at one error per patient per day in hospitals. Healthcare organizations have increasingly implemented Barcode Medication Administration (BCMA) systems to improve medication delivery accuracy. However, many nursing students receive limited exposure to BCMA, which may impede their readiness for practice (Ledlow et al., 2022); (Strudwick et al., 2018). Simulation-based education offers a solution, allowing students to practice essential clinical skills, such as medication administration, in a controlled, risk-free environment (Alexander et al., 2015). High-fidelity simulations improve clinical decision-making, exposing students to realistic …
