Sultan Qaboos University Legal Studies Journal

The research aims to examine Cyberbullying within Omani law, focusing on the key issue of whether acts of Cyberbullying are considered criminal offenses under current Omani penal laws, or if new legislation is needed to address this issue. The study uses a descriptive approach to define Cyberbullying and its characteristics, and an analytical approach to determine whether the existing Omani Penal Code and cybercrime law cover all forms of Cyberbullying . The research findings indicate that Cyberbullying encompasses multiple types, and any definition should consider its nature, means of commission, and purpose. The current laws do not encompass all forms …

The Legal Protection For Refugees In The Sultanate Of Oman., Abdelnaser Aljahani, Saif Al Rawahi

Sultan Qaboos University Legal Studies Journal

The Sultanate of Oman is not a State party to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (the 1951 Refugee Convention) and its 1967 Protocol, which establish refugee rights and obligations. In addition, there are no specific national laws or administrative regulations governing the right to asylum. However, the Basic Statute of the Sultanate of Oman and the Foreign Residency Law in Oman explicitly grant the right to asylum to a specific category of individuals, who are political refugees. The Basic Statute of Oman refers to political asylum briefly, while the Foreign Residency Law in Oman includes several …

"They Just Looked At Me Like I Didn't Matter"- The Experiences Of Assaulted Lgbtq+ Women With The Police, Katherine Poehlmann

LLM Theses

Research reveals that LGBTQ+ women are subjected to high rates of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). It is widely known that most victim-survivors of SGBV do not report it to the police and when they do, they usually have negative experiences, often due to the influence of myths and stereotypes on police officers’ attitudes and conduct. LGBTQ+ communities are known to be subjected to a multitude of myths and stereotypes that perpetuate violence against them, particularly in the case of highly marginalized subgroups (e.g., trans women, bisexual women). Little attention has been paid, particularly in the Canadian context, to the …

Leveraging Propagation Delay For Wormhole Detection In Wireless Networks, Harry May, Travis Atkison

Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice

Detecting and mitigating wormhole attacks in wireless networks remains a critical challenge due to their deceptive nature and potential to compromise network integrity. This paper proposes a novel approach to wormhole detection by leveraging propagation delay analysis between network nodes. Unlike traditional methods that rely on signature-based detection or specialized hardware, our method focuses on analyzing propagation delay timings to identify anomalous behavior indicative of wormhole attacks. The proposed methodology involves collecting propagation delay data in both normal network scenarios and scenarios with inserted malicious wormhole nodes. By comparing these delay timings, our approach aims to differentiate between legitimate network …

Liu, Jakob L. Fischer, Jeremiah A. Alt, Todd E. Bodner, Naweed I. Chowdhury, Anne E. Getz, Peter H. Hwang, Adam J. Kimple, Timothy L. Smith, Multiple Additional Authors

Psychology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Introduction Cystic fibrosis (CF) is commonly complicated by chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Despite highly effective management options, CRS in people with CF (PwCF+CRS) may be refractory to medical therapy, eventually requiring endoscopic sinus surgery. The impact of sinus surgery on pulmonary, quality of life (QOL), and other outcomes in PwCF+CRS in the expanding era of highly effective modulator therapy has not been fully elucidated. This study aims to determine if endoscopic sinus surgery can offer superior outcomes for PwCF+CRS when compared to continued medical treatment of CRS. Methods and analysis This multi-institutional, observational, prospective cohort study will enroll 150 adults with …

Examining Officer, Agency, And Victim Characteristics In On-Duty Fatal Shootings, Molly A. Whetstone, Eric M. Cooke, Philip M. Stinson

Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

This study examines the characteristics of officers, agencies, and victims involved in an on-duty fatal shooting. Previous research has identified that officer gender, experience level, and victim race influence incidents but has often overlooked agency characteristics. This study uses data from the Henry A. Wallace Police Crime Database to examine the relationship between officer, agency, and victim characteristics of officers charged with murder or manslaughter resulting from an on-duty fatal shooting. This analysis aims to inform discussions that could lead to new policies and implications for police agencies.
