Europeanization Of Georgian Competition Law, Zurab Gvelesiani

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

This case comment examines a landmark decision by the Georgian Competition and Consumer Agency (hereinafter, “GCCA”; “the Agency”) concerning coordinated pricing among major pharmaceutical distributors in Georgia’s state-funded oncology medication program. The GCCA found that four leading companies – Aversi Pharma, PSP, Gepha, and Mermisi – repeatedly submitted identical price offers in a closed procurement portal, in violation of Article 7 of the Georgian Law on Competition, which prohibits restrictive agreements. The agency’s findings were based on indirect economic evidence, including the statistical improbability of such pricing alignment across 88 instances, ultimately leading to fines exceeding 53 million GEL. The …

Jammed Disks Of Two Sizes In A Channel: Segregation Driven By Steric Forces, Dan Liu, Michael Karbach, Gerhard Müller

Physics Faculty Publications

Disks of two sizes are confined to a long and narrow channel. The axis and the plane of the channel are horizontal. The channel is closed off by pistons that freeze jammed microstates out of loose disk configurations, agitated randomly at calibrated intensity and subject to moderate pressure. Disk sizes and channel width are such that under jamming no disks remain loose and all disks touch one wall. The protocol permits disks to move past each other prior to jamming, which facilitates randomness in the sequence of large and small disks. We present exact results for the characterization of jammed …

Structural Impacts Of Canonical And Non-Canonical Oligonucleotide Modifications, Deepak Shrestha

Wayne State University Dissertations

Nucleic acids, including DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acids), are the fundamental building blocks of living organisms. The events that cause modification of DNA/RNA are of interest because they impact the nucleic acid function. Targeting DNA is important for treating diseases such as cancer. Cisplatin (cisPt) is a well-studied drug that targets DNA and blocks replication, but its use is limited by adverse side effects and cellular resistance. Prevoius research addressed some of these challenges through development of platinum analogues such as carboplatin and oxaliplatin. Amino acid-linked platinum analogues (AAPt) are the focus of this thesis work. AAPt complexes …

Mass Spectrometry Combined With Chemical Biology To Study Human Ailments, Eric Thomas Jacquerio Davis

Wayne State University Dissertations

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are essential as chemical changes that regulate protein function, activity, stability, interactions, and localization after protein synthesis. PTMs, such as phosphorylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination, can activate or deactivate proteins, influence their interactions with other molecules, and determine their cellular location. This regulation is vital for numerous biological processes, such as cell cycle control, signal transduction, and gene expression. Abnormal PTMs are linked to various diseases in humans, including parasitic infection, blood disorders, cancers, and neurodegenerative diseases, making their study crucial for understanding disease mechanisms and developing targeted therapies. In the Pflum lab, we are interested in the …

An Auto-Historia-Teoria Of Kismet Encounters: Building Bridges Between Multiple-Marginalized Identites - Queer, Latine, And Disabled - In A Colonial Education System, Rachel Torres

Wayne State University Dissertations

Existing education research has identified a series of factors that impact student identity formation, belonging, and academic performance in secondary and post-secondary education. Such research usually focuses on one to two identity groups - like ethnicity and gender or sexuality and disability. However, very few center on the experiences of queer, disabled, students of color. Using a decolonial methodological approach to qualitative research. This dissertation uses Chicana/Indigenous epistemologies as research methodologies to identify challenges students of multiple marginalized identities encounter in schooling and how they might find strength in their elders and cultural stories. The findings encourage educators to normalize …

Antimicrobial-Resistant Enterococcus In Urban Communities: Insights Into Human Infection Risks, Sumit Kumar Paudel

Wayne State University Dissertations

The complexity of community risk factors and transmission routes has been a major challenge to the containment of community-acquired antibiotic resistance. Possible factors range from environmental contamination, antibiotic misuse, and human exposure via animals, food, the environment, and human-to-human transmission. What has been missing from previous research is the integration of findings in animal and environmental sectors with bacteria implicated in community infections. To gain a better understanding of antibiotic resistance acquired in the community, a one health approach is clearly needed. Specifically, we aim to investigate the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Enterococcus in wildlife, their gene profiles in comparison with …

Reducing Acute Care Visits In Oncology: A Pilot Quality Improvement Project, Judy Metropulos

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Abstract

Background: Patients receiving high-toxicity chemotherapy are at risk for post-infusion complications, which can result in unplanned hospital visits or admissions. Structured post-infusion follow-up may improve symptom management and reduce these events.

Local Problem: At North Region hospital, the 30-day post-infusion revisit rate was 31%, substantially exceeding the national average of 14.7%. A pilot program launched in 2021 reduced hospital visits by 7%; however, following its discontinuation due to staffing shortages and inadequate data collection, the rate subsequently increased, underscoring the need for sustainable interventions.

Methods: A quality improvement project was conducted in two, ten weeks phases. Phase 1 included …

Revisiting The Anti White-Slavery Novel In The Age Of Amber Alerts: Elizabeth Robins' "My Little Sister", Joanne E. Gates

Presentations, Proceedings & Performances

The opportunity to teach the Elizabeth Robins novel of 1913, My Little Sister, provided an opportunity to examine advocacy fiction in a more thorough way than I outlined in my 1994 biography of Robins. I detail the genesis of the novel and credit the associations Robins had with William T. Stead and John Masefield. Equally important is the way Robins' network of suffrage advocates elevated the topic of White Slavery and child abduction. I note the afterlife of the novel in attempts by Robins to get a stage version produced. Although this paper is dated to cultural references of …

The Bad And The Beautiful: Is It Moral To Patronize Immoral Artists’ Works?, Earl W. Spurgin

2025 Faculty Bibliography

Artists’ moral wrongs raise interesting questions about whether, and how, we should engage the artists and their works. Public discourse is replete with opposition to honoring immoral artists for their achievements and calls for boycotts of their works. I examine a specific moral question that artists’ moral wrongs raise: Is it morally permissible to patronize immoral artists’ works? After explaining some preliminary matters, such as the meanings of some of important terms, I argue that it is morally permissible to patronize immoral artists’ works. Then, I examine two possible objections that pose significant challenges to my argument.

The Role Of Radiation Therapy In Managing Brain Metastases, Kaylie Skovira

Medical Imaging Senior Posters

This project explores brain metastases and the critical role of radiation therapy in managing this condition. It provides an overview of general statistics, radiation therapy types, treatment options, expected outcome and prognosis. Brain metastases rank as the tenth major leading cause of death among men and women, and occur in 20-40% of patients diagnosed with cancer. Radiation therapy for brain metastases primarily involves external radiotherapy, which delivers ionizing radiation from outside of the body to targeted brain regions. Internal radiotherapy is less commonly used due to anatomical constraints.Common treatment options include: CyberKnife stereotactic radiation therapy, whole-brain radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, …

Cardiac Catheterization: Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Vs Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, Ethan Sparrow

Medical Imaging Senior Posters

Abstract

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are the two primary revascularization options for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Although advances in PCI technology have led to improved outcomes and increased survival rates, CABG continues to be the preferred option for many patients due to its favorable long-term outcomes. This project examines the key differences between CABG and PCI, including their indications, contraindications, and clinical applications. Quality of life data indicate early benefits with PCI but more sustained improvement with CABG, especially beyond the first year. Findings from the SYNTAX study highlight that PCI is …

Embolization Of Splenic Artery, Xiahna Pm Davis

Medical Imaging Senior Posters

This project reviews the diagnostic process and intervention leading to the splenic artery embolization (SAE) procedure. SAE is primarily indicated for patients with blunt or traumatic splenic injuries that result in active bleeding or vascular compromise. The procedure is performed by interventional radiologists in an interventional radiology (IR) suite using minimally invasive techniques guided by imaging, most commonly contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and angiography, to accurately identify the site and severity of injury. Causes of splenic injury, including blunt abdominal trauma, iatrogenic injury, and rare spontaneous ruptures, are discussed to provide context for clinical decision-making. The abstract also summarizes embolization …

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Safety And Considerations, Lauren Mosier

Medical Imaging Senior Posters

Abstract

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is considered to be a safe, non-invasive diagnostic modality. However, the presence of a strong magnetic field creates inherent risks when safety protocols are not followed. This project examines MRI safety, with particular focus on the recent fatality in New York, where a person was killed by a projectile accident in the scanner room. Such events highlight the catastrophic consequences that can result from lapses in screening procedures, inadequate staff training, or poor enforcement of zone protocols. By reviewing this incident in the context of MRI safety protocols, this project emphasizes the ongoing need for …
