Bargaining In The Shadow Of The Efaa, Samuel R. Cole

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Labor unions are having something of a moment. In the past few years, high profile unionization efforts like those at Starbucks and successful strikes like SAGAFTRA have generated headlines. Even as labor activists celebrate these wins, American unions face ongoing obstacles. Union membership continues to decrease, and union participation remains at an all-time low. And now courts, perhaps unwittingly, are adding to their woes. In one example, particularly relevant here, courts have overlooked the distinction between arbitration agreements contained in collective bargaining agreements and arbitration agreements contained in contracts between employers and at-will employees. The result has been to entwine …

Bayesian Population Pharmacokinetic Modeling Of Ondansetron For Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome, Kevin Lam, John Mondick, Gary Peltz, Manhong Wu, Walter Kraft

Department of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Cancer Biology Faculty Papers

Ondansetron is an anti-emetic 5-HT3 receptor antagonist being investigated for treating neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS). Sparse PK data were analyzed from a multicenter, double-blind clinical trial with 98 mother/neonate dyads. Pregnant women with opioid use disorder were randomized to receive either placebo or ondansetron 8 mg intravenously within 4 h of delivery. Neonates born to mothers who were randomized to ondansetron received 0.07 mg/kg orally once every 24 h for up to five doses. Using current PK data, model parameters from a two-compartmental structural model from the literature (i.e., a priori model) were updated with the Metropolis-Hastings Markov-chain Monte …

Pumped Storage Hydropower In The United States: Emerging Importance, Environmental And Social Impacts, And Critical Considerations, Surabhi Karambelkar, Alida Cantor, Thien-Kim Bui, Bethani Turley, Maryalice Fischer, Shannon Ames

Geography Faculty Publications and Presentations

Pumped storage hydropower is a widely used, long-duration energy storage system that sits squarely at the water-energy nexus. Bold decarbonization goals have propelled a rapid resurgence of interest in pumped storage hydropower in the US, given its ability to provide bulk energy storage, manage grid reliability, and support increasing integration of variable renewable energy sources. Drawing on published research from both technical and social science perspectives, this paper provides an overview of pumped storage hydropower technology, the project development pipeline, potential social and environmental impacts, including a comparison of open-loop and closed-loop design configurations, and critical considerations for project development. …

Reversing Perverse Incentives And Aligning Interests: A Statutory Approach To Combatting Sex Trafficking In The Hospitality Industry, Sara Seymour

Vanderbilt Law Review

The hospitality industry has a sex trafficking problem: Seventy-five percent of sex trafficking victims report coming into contact with a hotel at some point during their trafficking. Though hotel franchisors publicly tout their efforts to combat sex trafficking, they are not properly or adequately incentivized to intervene in a meaningful way. The majority of hotels in the United States are franchised, and for every franchised room that is rented out—whether for sex trafficking or otherwise—hotel franchisors receive royalties. Further, franchisors are motivated to dictate material consistency, like what brand of soap to use, but not safety measures, because it allows …

School of Business Faculty Research

Research, coverage, and understanding in sport officiating related scholarly activity have increased markedly in the last decade. Sport officials (referees, judges, umpires) have been historically underrepresented in the sport management, psychology, and physiology literature, but this collection of experts provides avenues for collaboration and exploration that can contribute to understanding systems, individuals, and initiate real-world changes for sporting organisations, policy makers, and officials themselves. Focused and organised around the key research areas and priorities of physiology, decision making, psychology, mental health, management, and training and development, this statement offers detail on the development of the research and associated literature and …

Leveraging Collective Impact To Characterize And Identify Solutions To Cultural Challenges Within Scientific Societies, Taylor Lightner, Simone B. Soso, Candice M. Etson, Robin Mc C. Greenler, Mercy Mugo, Verónica A. Segarra

Physics: Faculty Publications

A consortium of scientific societies recently identified challenges to inclusivity within the biology communities they represent. Specifically, societies encounter difficulties collecting member demographic data effectively, integrating scientists at transitional career stages, and diversifying their leadership. In response, the Leveraging, Enhancing, and Developing Biology (LED-BIO) research coordination network (NSF 2134725) organized two meetings at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA to gather stakeholders and employ top-down and bottom-up organizational approaches to address these challenges. These meetings included Town Hall and Think Tank events to facilitate open dialogue and gather feedback on policies and programs from national organizations in attendance. …

Peacebuilding At The San Diego-Tijuana Border: A Ground Level View, Rebeca Cazares-Adame Md, Mph, Andrew Blum Phd

Kroc IPJ Research and Resources

This brief complements the work of researchers like Kleinfeld and Blattman by seeking to understand in a more inductive way the work of peacebuilders on the ground in Tijuana, a city experiencing systemic, chronic violence. Based on survey research and interviews conducted with those peacebuilders, the brief identifies insights that can help inform a peacebuilding field that includes and integrates work in conflict zones and non-conflict zones experiencing widespread violence. Developing this more integrated approach is particularly important at the moment as we move into President Trump’s second term and begin to see the impacts of his administration in the …

Public Patent Powers, Laura E. Dolbow

Michigan Law Review

Congress has created multiple structures for agencies to control how patents are used, but that institutional design choice has received little academic attention. This Article provides the first comprehensive survey of existing laws that expressly authorize agencies to control patents. I locate 113 express conditions across 68 laws that expressly authorize executive actors to make some form of decision about patents. These powers, which I refer to as “public patent powers,” allow the government to use patented inventions, to obtain patents, to authorize third parties to use patented inventions, and to regulate how patents are used. Agencies have used many …

Retrenchment By Diversion: The New Politics Of Parental Rights, Mary Ziegler, Maxine Eichner, Naomi Cahn

Michigan Law Review

For the past century, the Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed the importance of parents’ rights to direct their children’s upbringing and education. Yet suddenly the rhetoric of parental rights is being used to ground a broad range of claims on issues such as what can be taught in public schools, when minors can access gender-affirming care, or who will be punished for helping minors travel for abortion care. Why have parental-rights claims surged so visibly in contemporary law and politics? And are all the new arguments made under the banner of parental rights equally rooted in constitutional precedent?

Integrating The Workforce: A Proposed Expansion Of The Lane V. Kitzhaber Rule, Dean Farmer

Michigan Law Review

Sheltered workshops are workplaces that employ, and may legally pay subminimum wages to, individuals with disabilities. Though these workshops have historically been a large part of disability employment services in the United States, many policymakers have advocated for a shift from sheltered workshops to integrated disability employment services, in which individuals with disabilities work alongside other workers for an equal wage that meets or exceeds the minimum wage. In Lane v. Kitzhaber, the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon applied Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to sheltered workshop programs, holding that states must …

Toward An Economic Fair Housing Act, Nat Jordan

Michigan Law Review

This Note evaluates the prospect of an “Economic Fair Housing Act” through the framework of antidiscrimination law. The proposed bill—a brainchild of housing expert Richard Kahlenberg—would amend the Fair Housing Act to make economic status a protected class alongside race, national origin, religion, sex, and disability. Currently, fair housing lawsuits against local governments rarely succeed. Plaintiffs must present resounding statistical evidence of blatant racial disparities directly caused by exclusionary policies. Simultaneously, many local governments deter homebuilding through restrictive zoning ordinances that prevent lower-income people from moving in.

An Economic Fair Housing Act (EFHA) could help address these twin shortcomings of …

The End(S) Of Bankruptcy Exceptionalism: Purdue Pharma And The Problem Of Social Debt, Jonathan C. Lipson, Pamela Foohey

Cardozo Law Review

The Supreme Court’s recent 5-4 decision in the controversial chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization of opioid-maker Purdue Pharma ends the use of nonconsensual third-party “releases,” which discharge (eliminate) liabilities of nondebtors who may share liability with a corporate debtor. Although the majority opinion is correct that the Bankruptcy Code does not permit this, it failed to recognize the problematic exceptionalism of the lower courts which approved those releases or the “social” qualities of Purdue Pharma’s mass tort liability.

Bankruptcy exceptionalism has been a contested concept since it emerged over fifteen years ago and reflects a willingness to bend the rule of …

A Meta-Analysis Of Accent Bias In Employee Interviews: The Effects Of Gender And Accent Stereotypes, Interview Modality, And Other Moderating Features, Henri T. Maindidze, Jason G. Randall, Michelle P. Martin‐Raugh, Katrisha M. Smith

Psychology Faculty Publications and Presentations

To address concerns of subtle discrimination against stigmatized groups, we meta‐analyze the magnitude and moderators of bias against non‐standard accents in employment interview evaluations. Results from a multi‐level random‐effects meta‐analysis (unique effects: k = 41, N = 7,596; multi‐level effects accounting for dependencies: k = 120, N = 20,873) demonstrate that standard‐accented (SA) interviewees are consistently favored over non‐standard‐accented (NSA) interviewees (d = 0.46). Accent bias is stronger against women compared to men, particularly when evaluator samples are predominantly female, and was strongly predicted by interviewers' stereotypes of NSA interviewees as less competent and, to a lesser extent, as less …

Predicting The High Temperature Deformation Behavior Of Haynes282 By A Dislocation-Density Based Crystal Plasticity Model, Tianju Chen, Huadong Fu, Shujing Dong, Yue Zhou, Yijia Gu, Caizhi Zhou, Ridwan Sakidja

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Mechanical behavior of Haynes282 is heavily dependent upon the microstructure state, calling for mesoscale model to study the relationship between the underlying microstructure and macroscopic performance. In this work, we employ crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) to explore the deformation mechanisms of Hanyes282 subjected to tensile (short-term) and creep (long-term) tests. Haynes282 is a newly developed Ni-based superalloy, containing relatively low volume fraction (≤20%) of spherical γ′ precipitate phase. A dislocation-density based model is developed to describe the tensile and the creep behavior, where a dimension reduction algorithm is proposed to obtain more accurate inter-particle spacing. Furthermore, dislocation-particle interaction …

Required Over-Conformity: Emerging Adulthood And Disability In Tight Korean Culture, Eunyoung Jung, Ji-Ryun Kim

KAUPA Letters

This research examines what Korean young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) perceive as important parts of their lives, and the impact Korean culture has on their adulthood. The researcher interviewed nineteen participants with IDD in South Korea, ranging in age from nineteen to thirty-four years. A semi-structured qualitative interview was conducted to collect data. An inductive thematic data analysis identified three key themes: family-oriented lives with “constraints,” conformity to behavioral norms, and living for others. This article discusses how Korean culture impacts the emerging adulthood of young adults with IDD.

The Poetics Of Literary Haiku, John J. Han

KAUPA Letters

Haiku, a nature-based Japanese lyric form, encapsulates vivid imagery to evoke emotional resonance in readers. This poetic form avoids direct exposition or philosophizing, focusing instead on momentary “aha” experiences through the juxtaposition of natural and human elements. Traditional haiku often adhere to a seasonal theme, employing kigo (seasonal words) to reflect the connection between nature and human emotions. Contemporary English haiku have evolved beyond the rigid 5-7-5 syllabic structure, favoring brevity and an emphasis on imagery over didacticism or sentimentality. Effective haiku employ simple language, present tense, and a juxtaposition of interconnected images, often ending with a surprising or thought-provoking …
