Workplace Dignity, Joseph A. Seiner

William & Mary Law Review

There is a fundamental lack of respect for workers and work. The evisceration of the dignity of work has infected all industries. Anecdotally, workers have been forced to urinate in bottles. Employees have been killed while working through a tornado. A well-known employer allegedly subjected women to jokes of “sex, defecation, masturbation, rape, and torture.” Empirically, studies demonstrate the persistence of gender harassment in employment, the mistreatment of workers with long COVID, and a wide range of child labor and safety violations. No group is immune from the abuse that has been devastating to minority workers and vulnerable populations.

This Is An Intervention: The Role Of Federal Courts In Suppressing Non-Compete Agreements, Anya Y. Karaman

William & Mary Law Review

Part I of this Note will provide background information on noncompete agreements, focusing primarily on those executed in conjunction with employment. Part I will also provide background on the FTC’s rule and the preliminary injunction analysis. Part II will explore how different jurisdictions treat the public interest factor when analyzing whether to enforce a non-compete. Part III will examine how the FTC’s rule has already impacted the public interest analysis in court. Finally, Part IV will address potential challenges to this proposal and argue why federal courts—as opposed to state legislatures, for example—are in the best position to protect workers …

Ai As Your Ally: The Effects Of Ai-Assisted Venting On Negative Affect And Perceived Social Support, Meilan Hu, Xavier Cheng Wee Chua, Shu Fen Diong, K. T. A. Sandeeshwara Kasturiratna, Nadyanna M. Majeed, Andree Hartanto

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have made significant strides in generating human-like conversations. With AI's expanding capabilities in mimicking human interactions, its affordability and accessibility underscore the potential of AI chatbots to facilitate negative emotional disclosure or venting. The study's primary objective is to highlight the potential benefits of AI-assisted venting by comparing its effectiveness to venting through a traditional journaling platform in reducing negative affect and increasing perceived social support. We conducted a pre-registered within-subject experiment involving 150 participants who completed both traditional venting and AI-assisted venting conditions with counterbalancing and a wash-out period of 1-week between …

Social Influence In Close Relationships, Kenneth Tan, Ya Hui Michelle See

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

Romantic partners frequently spend substantial amounts of time with each other (Gerstel & Sarkisian, 2006), forming profound connections, creating meaningful memories (Philippe et al., 2013), and having an indelible impact on one's self-views and identity (e.g., Aron & Aron, 1997). Indeed, extant research showcases that the relationship between romantic partners plays a pivotal role in addressing a multitude of life's challenges together. Besides addressing goals that are specifically related to surviving and reproducing, romantic partners also serve as vital sources for assistance, advice, companionship, and emotional support (see Feeney & Collins, 2014; Finkel et al., 2014; Fitzsimons et al., 2015). …

Single-Nuclei Sequencing Reveals A Robust Corticospinal Response To Nearby Axotomy But Overall Insensitivity To Spinal Injury, Zimei Wang, Manojkumar Kumaran, Elizabeth Bastel, Sofia Testor-Cabrera, Zac Beine, Alicia Alvarez Ribelles, Pantelis Tsoulfas, Ishwariya Venkatesh, Murray G. Blackmore

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

The ability of neurons to sense and respond to damage is crucial for maintaining homeostasis and facilitating nervous system repair. For some cell types, notably dorsal root ganglia and retinal ganglion cells, extensive profiling has uncovered a significant transcriptional response to axon injury, which influences survival and regenerative outcomes. In contrast, the injury responses of most supraspinal cell types, which display limited regeneration after spinal damage, remain mostly unknown. In this study, we used single-nuclei sequencing in adult male and female mice to profile the transcriptional responses of diverse supraspinal cell types to spinal injury. Surprisingly, thoracic spinal injury induced …

BACKGROUND: Historically, surgical biopsy (SB) for diagnosis of pediatric solid tumors was considered necessary to provide adequate tissue for histologic and molecular analysis. Less invasive biopsy techniques such as image-guided core needle biopsy (CNB), have shown comparable accuracy with decreased morbidity in some adult studies. However, data regarding the safety and efficacy of CNB in pediatric tumors is limited. This study's aim was to assess the overall rate of successful diagnosis and safety of CNB compared to SB in children with malignancies.

METHODS: A PRISMA compliant systematic review was performed in MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase and CINAHL Plus database searches …

Background: Donor lung procurement and preservation is critical for lung transplantation success. Unfortunately, the large variability in techniques impacts organ utilization rates and transplantation outcomes. Compounding this variation, recent developments in cold static preservation and new technological advances with machine perfusion have increased the complexity of the procedure. The objective of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) Clinical Practice Standards Committee (CPSC) expert panel was to make evidence-based recommendations for best practices in donor lung procurement and preservation based on review of the existing literature. Methods: The AATS CPSC assembled an expert panel of 16 lung transplantation surgeons from …

A Switch Protein Adapter For Anti-Lilrb4 Car-T Cells, Ryan Huang, Heyu Chen, Jingjing Xie, Qi Lou, Lingxiao Tan, Ningyan Zhang, Zhiqiang An, Samuel John, Cheng Cheng Zhang

The Brown Foundation: Institute of Molecular Medicine

Chimeric antigen receptor-T cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy has shown remarkable results for the treatment of certain hematologic malignancies. A redirection strategy that utilizes clinically relevant CAR-T cells in combination with adapter proteins may be an effective strategy to target other hematologic and solid cancers. We established a fusion antibody-based strategy with flexibility to target multiple tumor types in combination with a novel anti-leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor-B 4 (LILRB4) CAR-T cell. Specifically, we engineered switch protein (SwP) adapters containing the LILRB4 extracellular domain fused to either an anti-CD19 or anti-CD20 single-chain variable fragment (scFv). These SwPs were sufficient to stimulate anti-LILRB4 CAR-T cells …

Coccidia Vaccine Challenge And Exogenous Enzyme Supplementation In Broiler Chicken 2—Effect On Apparent Ileal Nutrient And Energy Digestibility And Intestinal Morphology 7 And 14 Days Post-Challenge, Sunday A. Adedokun, Andrew Dunaway, Richard Adefioye

Animal and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

The efficiency with which the nutrients and energy in any diet are digested, absorbed, and utilized depends on several factors, with the health status of the bird’s gastrointestinal tract playing an important role. The protozoan parasite Eimeria has been reported to significantly reduce the performance of birds because of poor absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. In this study, the effect of Eimeria sp. challenge and exogenous enzyme supplementation on performance and nutrient digestibility in broilers fed corn-soybean meal- or wheat-corn–SBM-based diets was examined. During the first 7 days post-challenge (days 14–21), in birds fed the corn–soybean-meal-based diets, the …

Improving The Measurement Of Gender In Surveys: Effects Of Categorical Versus Open-Ended Response Formats On Measurement And Data Quality Among College Students, Dana Garbarski, Jennifer Dykema, James A. Yonker, Rosie Eungyuhl Bae, Rachel A. Rosenfeld

Sociology: Faculty Publications and Other Works

While researchers have some recommendations for measuring gender identity in surveys based on research and other sources that are summarized in a series of working group and panel reports, we continue to refine our understanding and practices. Gender identity is usually measured in surveys using a categorical selection response format with a small number of response options (e.g., "female,""male,""nonbinary") and an open text response field to capture additional responses ("not listed, please tell us"). There is limited research guiding researchers on the use of other response formats. This study reports results from a between-subjects experiment embedded in a campus climate …

All Rsif Scholars' Publications

The study sampled wild Sesame from open field in South Africa. The samples were pretreated while the extracts were screened for phytochemical compositions and applied for water purification using standard procedures. The physicochemical properties of sampled raw and purified water (pH, total dissolved solids, salinity turbidity and conductivity) were analyzed in situ before and after treatment in the lab, respectively. The plant’s phytochemical extract from the leaves and stem was prepared using selected solvents (methanol, cold water and warm water). The results revealed the presence of phytochemicals including tannins, phenols, flavonoids, steroids, anthraquinone, terpenoids, saponins, and phlobatannins in both the …

Fostering Value Cocreation Using An Agency-Style Client Project In Marketing Education, Chiharu Ishida, Peter Kaufman, Mark Gibson, Gary Hunter

Faculty Publications – Marketing

Experiential learning is key to any discipline, and in marketing it is of particular interest to foster mastery and a sense of professionalism through a client project in the classroom. In the marketing education literature, the value of client projects is well documented. Building on the value cocreation (VCC) stream of research and project-based learning, we propose that a multicourse, full-service “agency-style” structure allows classes to realize VCC beyond the traditional client-based project. We define agency-style projects as those in which teams from different courses are assigned unique, interrelated tasks and ultimately offer a comprehensive recommendation for the client’s multidimensional …
