Animal-Assisted Therapy With Children In Hospitals And Schools: A Systematized Review, Tantine Kendig

LSU Master's Theses

It has been demonstrated that animals can offer humans significant health benefits. Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is a growing form of therapy used in various settings to enhance the health of children, encompassing both physical and mental wellness. The challenges of hospitalization and the school environment have been shown to pose different challenges for children, such as an increase in anxiety, stress, depression, and others that have the potential to affect their mental, physical, emotional, and social well-being. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of animal-assisted therapy, specifically dog-assisted therapy, on children in hospital and school settings by conducting a …

Crashing The Party: How Textualism And Legislative History Can Work Together, John Cannan

Faculty Publications

Textualists must moderate their distaste for legislative history and acknowledge the role of congressional sources in statutory interpretation—even those they themselves approve of. Doing so would enhance their statutory analyses. Decisions arising from 2016 litigation by hospitals against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, culminating in Azar v. Allina Health Servs., 139 S. Ct. 1804, 204 L. Ed. 2d 139 (2019), demonstrate how textualist inflexibility can undermine their own principles. For example, notable advocates of that interpretive school—then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Justice Neil Gorsuch—overlooked statutory text, which they so highly prize, in reaching their determinations. Textualists often describe …

Leadership In The Age Of Ai: Review Of Quantitative Models And Visualization For Managerial Decision-Making, Satyadhar Joshi

Harrisburg University Other Works

This paper offers a comprehensive review of existing literature on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and leadership, drawing on both theoretical insights and practical implementations. By analyzing scholarly publications from the past two years (2023-2025), the review traces emerging patterns in how AI technologies are being integrated into leadership practices. Key themes include the growing relevance of learning-based systems for adaptive decision-making and the application of attention-based models to improve responsiveness in dynamic environments. The review also addresses ethical dimensions of AI-enabled leadership, emphasizing the need to balance algorithmic efficiency with human judgment and oversight. Concerns around transparency, psychological …

JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

The advancement of technology has given rise to the phenomenon of user-generated content (UGC), which presents an intriguing subject for investigation through various perspectives. This paper aims to conduct an analysis of journal articles focusing on UGC within the context of the Instagram social media platform. To achieve this, the paper employs a systematic literature review (SLR) research method, adhering to the PRISMA protocol, focusing specifically on journal articles discussing UGC on Instagram. The literature search was conducted in April 2023 using the keywords "UGC" and "Instagram" in the Scopus database. After a series of exclusions, the research examined 30 …

Parapneumonic Empyema Complicating Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Etiology In The Era Of Pneumococcal Vaccination And Role Of Molecular Diagnosis, Bradford D Gessner, Anne J Blaschke, Kristina G Hulten, Delma J Nieves, Ashley Miller, Cody Bender, Raul Isturiz, Ronika Alexander, Shannon M Nielsen, Linda B Lamberth, Alejandro Cane, Adriano Arguedas

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Background: Impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) on pneumococcal disease is well described; pneumococcus is infrequently identified by culture in pneumonia. Yield is higher when pleural fluid is cultured. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in pleural fluid samples improves pathogen identification, particularly in the case of S. pneumoniae.

Methods: Healthy children with empyema who underwent pleural fluid drainage were eligible. Demographics and PCV immunization status were collected. Blood/pleural fluid cultures were obtained. Pleural fluid samples were sent for PCR for pathogen. Serotyping was done by Neufeld-Quellung reaction on pneumococcus isolates, and PCR in culture negative cases.

Results: From December 2018 to …

Unmet Supportive Care Needs In Patients With Advanced Cancer And Its Impact On Distress

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Purpose: Patients with advanced cancer endure considerable physical and emotional distress without sufficient supportive care. This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between cancer-related symptoms, supportive care needs, and distress levels in patients with advanced lung, head and neck, or gastrointestinal cancers.

Methods: 158 patients were assessed for symptom burden and distress levels using the M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI) and unmet needs using the Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-34) within one month of treatment initiation. Pearson correlations and multiple regression analyses were used to explore associations between supportive care needs and distress.

Results: Distress levels were moderate across the study …

Decapit8: System And Method For Creating Ai-Optimized Website Representations With Structured Robot Entrances, Renee Gagnon

Defensive Publications Series

Decapit8 provides a system and method for reformatting website content into structured, semantically rich "information cartridges" optimized specifically for machine consumption. It creates a "Robot Entrance" offering tiered summaries, semantic embeddings, knowledge graphs, and explicit reasoning pathways, enabling AI/ML systems to interact efficiently with websites without full re-crawling. This reduces computational overhead, improves agentic reasoning, and establishes a new machine-native web interaction paradigm.
