Issues Presented:

Title IX prohibits schools from responding with deliberate indifference to student-on-student sexual harassment that interferes with, or threatens to interfere with, a victim’s education. It also prohibits schools from retaliating against students who engage in Title IX protected activity, such as reporting an assault. Here, another Marshall student sexually assaulted Roe at an offcampus residence near Marshall’s campus. Roe reported the assault and other instances of student-on-student relationship abuse. In the assault’s aftermath, Roe missed classes and limited her time on campus because she was afraid of encountering her assailant. Her grades suffered. Marshall did not address the …

BACKGROUND: Invasive candidiasis/candidemia (IC/C) is associated with a substantial health economic burden driven primarily by prolonged hospital stay. The once-weekly IV echinocandin, rezafungin acetate, has demonstrated non-inferiority to caspofungin in the treatment of IC/C. This paper reports a post hoc pooled exploratory analysis of length of stay (LoS) for hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stays in two previously published clinical trials (ReSTORE [NCT03667690] and STRIVE [NCT02734862], that compared rezafungin with daily IV caspofungin (stable patients in the caspofungin group who met relevant criteria could step down to fluconazole after 3 days or more).

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Medication overuse headache (MOH) is the most common secondary headache disorder, resulting from chronic and excessive use of medication to treat headaches, for example, sumatriptan. In a recent study, we have shown that the peripheral C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2), C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) and calcitonin-gene-related peptide (CGRP) signaling pathways interact with each other and play critical roles in the development of chronic migraine-related behavioral and cellular sensitization. In the present study, we investigated whether CCL2-CCR2 and CGRP signaling pathways play a role in the development of sumatriptan overuse-induced sensitization, and whether they are involved in its …

Estimating Companion Camera Distance Using Sound Source Localization In A Multi-Camera Scenario, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

In a two-camera system, a highly accurate distance estimation between the cameras is critical to customer experience. Here, we describe a solution that estimates the direct distance between a table camera and a video bar with their existing hardware and a simple algorithm. When there are two loudspeakers on a video bar and microphone arrays on a table camera that can localize sound sources, the distance between the table camera and the projection of table camera on video bar can be determined by the difference of the sound source localization (SSL) angles of the two loudspeakers.

Three Years Of Misinformation: A Case Study Of Information Literacy Methods, Elizabeth Zak

Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy

Misinformation is an ever-evolving digital issue. As the internet evolves, so too does misinformation and the ways in which it is propagated. Information literacy methods, such as the CRAAP test, the RADAR framework and the SIFT method, can help information users discern between real and fake information, and prevent the spread of misinformation. Unfortunately, the speed with which misinformation evolves often makes information literacy methods obsolete when they are designed and implemented. Furthermore, when people trust misinformation, they struggle with identifying correct information. Visual misinformation presents another concern: people trust what they see, and new misinformative developments such as deepfakes …

Biomechanical Insights Of Head Trauma Based On Computational Simulation, Ghaidaa Abdulrahman Khalid

AUIQ Technical Engineering Science

Head injuries from falls are a major cause of illness and death in children due to trauma. Despite their prevalence and impact, there is limited understanding of how children's heads react during impact events. Infant Post-Mortem-Human-Surrogate (PMHS) testing, a reasonable method for studying impact biomechanics, faces significant restrictions due to emotional, moral, and ethical issues. Computer modeling, though holding significant promise for creating alternative pediatric head surrogates, encounters numerous challenges because of the intricacies of child growth and development. A finite-element (FE) model of an infant head was created from high-resolution CT scans, utilizing published data on tissue material properties. …
