BACKGROUND: In 2021, the United States experienced a 14% rise in fatal drug overdoses totaling 106,699 deaths, driven by harmful opioid use, particularly among individuals in the perinatal period who face increased risks associated with opioid use disorders (OUDs). Increased concerns about the impacts of escalating harmful opioid use among pregnant and postpartum persons are rising. Most of the current limited perinatal OUD studies were conducted using traditional methods, such as interviews and randomized controlled trials to understand OUD treatment, risk factors, and associated adverse effects. However, little is known about how social media data, such as X, formerly known …

Challenging The Johnson Amendment: What Safe Space Gets Right - And Wrong, Benjamin Leff

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

There has long been a scholarly debate about the so-called Johnson Amendment, which is the statutory provision that prohibits charities from “intervening” in campaigns for public office. Some scholars argue that the Johnson Amendment, or at least the IRS’s interpretation of it, unconstitutionally prevents charities from exercising their fundamental rights to speech or religious liberty. Activists have tried to provoke IRS enforcement of the prohibition so they could argue their interpretation of the Constitution in court, but the IRS appeared to be avoiding litigation on the issue. On March 18, Students and Academics for Free Expression, Speech, and Political Action …

Ash Ave Llc V. Wilder

All Decisions

In this licensee holdover proceeding, the court denied the tenant's motion to dismiss, upholding the landlord's subject matter jurisdiction over the case. The tenant's claims of improper service and lack of personal jurisdiction were rejected due to insufficient detail in the denial of service. Additionally, the court found unresolved factual issues regarding the tenant's status as a tenant or licensee, necessitating a trial. The landlord's cross-motion for discovery and use and occupancy was also denied due to procedural shortcomings.

Park View Bay Llc. V. Morales

All Decisions

In this non-payment proceeding, the court corrected a prior error by granting Tenant's motion to reargue Judge Hahn's previous denial of the respondent's motion to dismiss. Upon reargument, this court dismissed the case based on the undisputed fact that no lease was in effect when the non-payment proceeding began, referencing Fairfield Beach 9th, LLC v. Shepard-Neely. Tenant Respondent argued that the petitioner sought rent for a period after the rent-stabilized lease had expired. While some First Department courts have indicated that a non-payment case could be maintained despite the absence of a lease at the time of commencement, Judge Tovar …

957 Park Avenue Llc V. Ordonez

All Decisions

The landlord commenced a holdover proceeding against the tenant, alleging that the tenant was not the primary resident of a rent-controlled apartment and was improperly occupying it based on a non-primary residence claim. The tenant sought to succeed to the tenancy but failed to prove sufficient familial interdependence. The court awarded possession to the landlord, staying the eviction until November 7, 2024, with eviction to occur thereafter.

Stability Of Optimal Spherical Codes, Károly J. Böröczky, Alexey Glazyrin

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

For many extremal configurations of points on a sphere, the linear programming approach can be used to show their optimality. In this paper we establish the general framework for showing stability of such configurations and use this framework to prove the stability of the two spherical codes formed by minimal vectors of the lattice E8 and of the Leech lattice.

Journal of Geriatric Emergency Medicine

Introduction: Non-pharmacologic prevention measures reduce incident delirium by up to 30-40%% in inpatient and ED settings, but consistent application is often difficult. A mobile health application, titled iPREPARED (Improve Prevention and Recovery by Engaging Patients and FAmily-Caregivers to End Delirium) was co-developed with patients and their care partners to prepare them for delirium and empower them to use non-pharmacological prevention measures. This study assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of iPREPARED in the emergency department (ED).

Methods: An IRB-approved prospective study enrolled a convenience sample of ED patients over age 60 and/or their care partners. Participants were provided a tablet …

From Sample To Population Generalization In Qualitative Research, Florentina Scârneci-Domnișoru

The Qualitative Report

The split of methodology into qualitative and quantitative had all sorts of negative consequences, including the neglecting of some important scientific goals, such as generalizing research results in qualitative studies. Even if they don’t talk about generalizations, many qualitative researchers illegitimately extend their research results to populations much wider than those investigated. The article shows that the generalization of research results (from sample to population) is possible in qualitative research but that it can only be achieved through a sampling procedure that complies with specific rules. The article describes this procedure of internal generalization of results through a logical or …

The Effect Of Small Class Size From Kindergarten Through Third Grade On Eighth-Grade Gender Reading Achievement, Christopher Harry

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

This study examined the effect of small class size intervention on student outcomes using reading achievement scores as measured by the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills (CTBS), a standardized, norm-referenced test, while controlling for independent variables inclusive of students' gender, race, socioeconomic status (SES), and environment. This study included students who participated in a randomized, long-term study, the Tennessee Student Teacher Achievement Ratio (STAR) experiment from 1985 through 1989. The STAR study took place in the Tennessee public school system, encompassing two groups of students: those who received treatment, small class intervention, 657 students, and students who did not, 5,689. …

Understanding Students` Attitude And Intention Towards Vocational Education And Training (Vet) In The Sultanate Of Oman, Shweta Belwal, Fatma Rashid Al Moqbali, Rakesh Belwal

Plymouth Business School

The current study investigates the influence of attitudes, subjective norms (SN), and perceived behavioural control (PBC) in understanding the intentions of Grade 11 and Grade 12 (N = 376) students in Oman to join vocational education and training (VET) institutions. The study’s objectives were twofold: to assess secondary-school students’ attitudes toward vocational education and to investigate their intentions to join VET. A quantitative approach following the partial least square-based structural equation modelling was used. According to the findings, attitudes, PBC, and SNs, exhibit a significant favourable influence on students’ intention to join VET. However, some partial invariance to the relationship …

Dna Methylation Near Mad1l1, Kdm2b, And Socs3 Mediates The Effect Of Socioeconomic Status On Elevated Body Mass Index In African American Adults, Brooke S Staley, Kendra Ferrier, Jan Bressler, Laura Loehr, Laura M Raffield, Mario Sims, Kari E North, Lindsay Fernández-Rhodes

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Obesity and poverty disproportionally affect African American persons. Epigenetic mechanisms could partially explain the association between socioeconomic disadvantage and body mass index (BMI). We examined the extent to which epigenetic mechanisms mediate the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on BMI. Using data from African American adults from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study (n = 2664, mean age = 57 years), education, income, and occupation were used to create a composite SES score at visit 1 (1987-1989). We conducted two methylation-wide association analyses to identify associations between SES (visit 1), BMI and cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites measured at a subsequent …

Tanzania Journal of Science

A combined Single-Ended Primary-Inductor Converter (SEPIC) and Cuk DC-DC converter that provides a bipolar outputs voltage at the DC bus is widely used in applications especially solar photovoltaic (SPV) system. Maintaining constant output voltages at the DC bus under variable loads and input voltage from SPV is of great interest to many researchers. This paper presents a 400 W mathematical model of a combined SEPIC and Cuk DC-DC converter through state space averaging (SSA) in a continuous conduction mode (CCM). A nested voltage and current control loops are used to regulate voltage and increase the performance of the converter. These …

Efficient Data-Driven Machine Vision: A Co-Design Of Circuit, Algorithm, And Architecture For Edge Vision Sensors, Tianrui Ma

McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations

CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) are the most widely used visual devices in the modern sensing industry, playing a crucial role in converting light signals to digital images. In practical applications, CIS serve as the front end of a vision system, which also includes Image Signal Processors (ISPs) and vision algorithms before delivering the final output to end consumers. The quality of a vision system depends on the metrics used by the end consumer to evaluate the received images. In conventional vision systems, the end consumer is human, and the evaluation metric is image quality, which is based on visual fidelity …

Conserved Signaling Modules Regulate Filamentous Growth In Fungi: A Model For Eukaryotic Cell Differentiation, Matthew D Vandermeulen, Michael C Lorenz, Paul J Cullen

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Eukaryotic organisms are composed of different cell types with defined shapes and functions. Specific cell types are produced by the process of cell differentiation, which is regulated by signal transduction pathways. Signaling pathways regulate cell differentiation by sensing cues and controlling the expression of target genes whose products generate cell types with specific attributes. In studying how cells differentiate, fungi have proved valuable models because of their ease of genetic manipulation and striking cell morphologies. Many fungal species undergo filamentous growth-a specialized growth pattern where cells produce elongated tube-like projections. Filamentous growth promotes expansion into new environments, including invasion into …

Tqr16: What It Is And What It Can Be, James A. Bernauer

The Qualitative Report

This article was written in response to the Call for the TQR16 Conference in 2025. I was compelled to write this article because of the poignancy of the theme. The questions posed were first whether we care whether our work makes an impact outside of academia and second whether this work would have a greater impact if we involved participants as true co-researchers from the very beginning of our inquiries. I explored these two questions by sharing my thoughts about the citations, the qualitative/quantitative divide, our natural need to discover, barriers to achieving the satisfactory answers to the two questions, …

Association Between Particulate Matter And Copd Among Adults In Alaska, Adeyemi Samuel Alimi

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Exposure to high levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is emerging as a crucial risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a deadly lung disease with a significant public health burden. The Fairbanks North Star Borough (FNSB) in Alaska has one of the worst PM2.5 issues in the United States. The PM2.5 issues in the area are associated with increased wood-burning and temperature inversions in the winter and wildfires in the summer. Given these prevailing PM2.5 issues, this quantitative study was conducted using Alaska BRFSS datasets and a chi-square test to compare the COPD prevalence in the FNSB with …

Competitive Strategies For Payday Loan Companies, Millicent Bakitey Ahin
