Brain and Mind Institute

Commentwww.thelancet.com/psychiatry Vol 11 September 2024 671 The Lancet Psychiatry Commission on Youth Mental Health heralds a new field of research and practice with a focus on people aged 12–25 years.1 Patrick D McGorry and colleagues assert the global relevance of the field while acknowledging that much of its underpinning evidence comes from high-income countries (HICs). This distribution is problematic because 90% of children and adolescents live in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), which are under- represented academically and yet have the highest burden of mental ill health. Extrapolating findings from HICs to LMICs ignores crucial diversity in young people’s socioeconomic …

Reducing Attack Opportunities Through Decentralized Event-Triggered Control, Paul Griffioen, Raffaele Romagnoli, Bruce H. Krogh, Bruno Sinopoli

Faculty Work Comprehensive List

Cyber-physical systems are prevalent in many critical infrastructures and are vulnerable to a variety of attacks from the network. Decentralized control systems are particularly vulnerable since they rely heavily on network communication to achieve their goals. To address network vulnerabilities, we present an event-triggered network connection and communication protocol that minimizes the amount of time agents are connected to the network, reducing the window of opportunity for attacks. This mechanism is a function of only local information and ensures stability for the overall system in attack-free scenarios. Our approach distinguishes itself from current decentralized event-triggered control strategies by considering an …

"Boycott" -- A Proposed Legal Definition Put To Test, Sharona Aharoni-Goldenberg, Gerry Leisman

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

The definition of "boycott" attracts controversy in legislation, case law, and dictionaries. This paper questions what the worthy legal definition of "boycott" is. It examines and analyzes various sources on "boycott." We conclude that the most distinctive characteristic of a "boycott" is omissions, such as refusal to provide services. The antithesis of omission is commission. Omissions signify allowing something to happen, whereas commissions signify causing it to happen. Since boycotts concern omissions, they entail less legislative interference with the boycotter's right of autonomy. Yet, the autonomy of the boycotters should be restrained when they coerce the boycott's targets, coerce others …

A Market Solution To The Pay Gap, Stephen A. Plass

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

The pay gap between men and women is typically defined as the ratio of median annual earnings of men and women working full time. The gap is attributable to many pre- and post-labor market factors such as family background, work aspirations, education, experience, ability, hours worked, unionization rates, workplace practices or conditions, technological developments, and even public health developments. Because a large variety of personal and labor market factors contribute to the pay gap, it is highly improbable that the median pay of men and women will ever be the same, any more than pay for younger and older workers. …

Gender Conscious Labor Environmentalism, Chaumtoli Huq

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Drawing primarily from the internationally recognized human right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, ("right to a healthy environment") as well as related international environmental and economic human rights laws, this Article makes three critical moves towards theorizing a gender conscious approach to labor environmentalism. First, this Article demonstrates through four cases studies from Bangladesh, that global and national labor movements can effectively address the root causes of labor rights violations, specifically around health and safety by deploying and mobilizing around the recently passed international right to a healthy environment. Second, the right to a healthy environment offers a …

Burnout, Amanda Almeida

be Still

I loved writing since I was 12. I learned putting words on paper solidifies the human experience, whether it be through poetry, music, stories, or simply free-writing one's thoughts. Attending medical school has broadened my experience with other realities to an unexpected degree. I realize that wanting to save lives through healthcare comes at a great cost to the person pursuing a career in medicine. Writing about the intensity of medical school helped me cope and I hope that my future patients will come to understand, sometimes, the only way out is through, and coping by using the things we …

From Didactic To Healing Hands, Jashkumar Choudhari

be Still

As the creator of the poem "From Didactic to Healing Hands," I am delighted to share my perspective on the inspiration and intent behind this piece.

The poem serves as a heartfelt exploration of the evolution that occurs as we transition from the theoretical world of classrooms and lectures to the practical, human-centered realm of healthcare. It's a journey that demands not only the accumulation of knowledge but the nurturing of empathy, compassion, and the courage to step into the role of healing with confidence.

I wanted to convey the interconnectedness of science and the art of medicine, emphasizing that …

Reclaimation Of Self, Sophia Hernandez

My inspiration for this piece comes from contemplation about the expression of self and the ways in which traditional institutions can limit complete creative control. The allusions to Earth's creations are used to create a comparison to the divine right to imagine spontaneously. When I create art, it is my goal to inspire others to do the same.

To Which We Return, Marianne Koleng

be Still

This work is an attempt to reconcile the vibrance of life as evidenced by the colorful collage and bismuth crystal with death, which is portrayed by a somber skull emerging from an aorta and ventricles of a human heart. Understanding the temporal nature of our existence is key to subtle references to beauty and imperfection latent in the background of this image to cue the idea of beauty in life and death to the viewer.

Going Under, Marianne Koleng

This paper is a meditation on a journey through the humanities and the pages of the works of the German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, and the eventual conclusion to a pursuit of a medical career. It identifies that while not all paths to a similar endpoint are identical, but each has its own rich merits, twists, and turns.
