Groff V. Dejoy And Title Vii's "Undue Hardship" Standard, Natalie C. Rhoads

Liberty University Law Review

In June 2023, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Groff v. DeJoy, where it clarified the standard governing an employer’s obligation to make a religious accommodation under Title VII. For over 50 years, lower courts had been using the Court’s language in Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Hardison, that a religious accommodation constitutes an “undue hardship” under Title VII if it would cause the employer to incur “more than a de minimis cost.” This Article explains the flawed Hardison standard and analyzes the Court’s decision in Groff, including the Court’s statement that an “undue hardship” under …

Reassessing Tyler V. Hennepin County: A Critical Examination Of The Supreme Court’S Federalist Overreach In Discovering A Constitutionally Protected Property Right In A Takings Case Involving A Sovereign State’S Real Property Tax-Foreclosure Sale, Tory L. Lucas

Liberty University Law Review

This Article features the case of a real property owner who disclaimed all her burdens under state law for over six years yet later claimed substantial benefits under federal law. Because this distorts any rational burden-benefit analysis, this Article scrutinizes the U.S. Supreme Court’s groundbreaking decision in Tyler v. Hennepin County that radically reinterpreted the Takings Clause of the U.S. Constitution. In Tyler, a unanimous Supreme Court departed from the consensus among the lower federal courts and discovered a novel property right—the constitutional entitlement to surplus proceeds from a sovereign State’s real property tax-foreclosure sale. Despite Minnesota’s clear and …

Analyzing Land Suitability For Industrial Areas In Pekanbaru City Using The Smce Method And Geographical Information Systems, Siti Aisyah, Muhammad Dimyati

Jurnal Geografi Lingkungan Tropik (Journal of Geography of Tropical Environments)

Domestic industrial growth continues to increase in line with population growth and the development of new areas, both in the city center and on the outskirts of the city. The location of Riau Province, which is close to Malaysia and Singapore, makes it an attractive investment destination, supported by Riau's abundant natural resources. Pekanbaru City, as the capital of Riau Province, consisting of 12 regencies/cities, serves as the center of government and economy. Among the 27 integrated industrial estates, there are two locations in Riau Province determined by the central government in the 2020-2024 RPJMN, namely Tanjung Buton in Siak …

303 Creative And The Question Of Governmental Authority To Dictate Commercial Transactions, Rena M. Lindevaldsen

Liberty University Law Review

In June 2023, the nation awaited a decision from the United States Supreme Court in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. At its core, the case presented the question of whether free speech rights outweighed a state’s interest in prohibiting discrimination through its public accommodation laws. If the Supreme Court had ruled against 303 Creative and compelled its owner, Lorie Smith, to design a website for same-sex weddings despite Ms. Smith’s sincerely-held religious beliefs that such marriages are not biblical, free speech rights in America would have been at the mercy of what the majority deemed acceptable speech.

Biden V. Nebraska: Student Loan Debt Forgiveness And The Dangers Of The Administrative State, Rodney D. Chrisman

Liberty University Law Review

In April of 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden promised that, if he were elected to the Presidency, he would “[i]mmediately cancel a minimum of $10,000 of student debt per person, as proposed by Senator Warren in the midst of the coronavirus crisis.” Once in office, the Biden administration found that Congress would not pass the type of extensive student loan debt forgiveness that the President wanted. Accordingly, President Biden did what has become all too common in recent presidential administrations— he acted by executive fiat through an administrative agency to accomplish a policy goal that he could not get passed through …

Evaluating Introductory Computer Science Labs In The Presence Of Ai Tools, Nicholas Snow, Devin Chaimberlain, Abigail Pitcairn, Benjamin Sweeney

Thinking Matters Student Research Symposium

This study explores the resistance of introductory computer science lab assignments to “shortcutting” by generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT. By analyzing the work of three distinct student personas on these assignments, we identified key characteristics of language and structure that influence an assignment's vulnerability to AI abuse. Based on these insights, we propose strategies for educators to adapt labs to both counteract AI shortcutting and encourage productive uses of AI.

Integrated Visualization Of Alternate Network Paths With Tomographic Device Performance Overlay, Peter Clayton-Luce, Steve Holl, Jay Kuhne

Defensive Publications Series

Conventional digital experience monitoring and synthetic testing methods can only monitor and test one active network path, which limits their effectiveness in generating a robust network solution. For example, conventional methods do not leverage information about potential alternate paths formed by standby devices, thus leading to lost opportunities to proactively prevent and/or respond to device degradation. In order to address such issues, proposed herein are techniques that generate an integrated visualization that dynamically overlays device status and performance data on network paths involving redundant devices. The integrated visualization provides a tomographic view of device performance for all potential paths in …

System For Geometric Modifications, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Three-dimensional print systems are designed to physically reproduce user defined 3D geometries. For additive systems these part geometries are often accumulated in a progressive fashion, such as layer by layer. For many materials, such as plastic polyamides, great care is taken to define part geometries and the printer likewise is engineered to achieve a specific geometric fidelity. Printing or re-printing is generally the focal process to achieve a desired geometry. For aesthetic purposes, 3D printed plastic parts may be dyed to achieve a desired visual appearance. The effectiveness of these liquid dye baths may benefit from heat. We propose that …

Euler And A Proof Of The Functional Equation For The Riemann Zeta-Function He Could Have Given, Alexander Aycock

Euleriana

We explain how Euler could have proved a functional equation, which is equivalent to the one for the Riemann zeta-function, that he conjectured in his paper {\it ``Remarques sur un beau rapport entre les series des puissances tant directes que reciproques"} \cite{E352} (E352: ``Remarks on the beautiful relation between the series of the direct and reciprocal powers").

Euler And The Gaussian Summation Formula For The Hypergeometric Series, Alexander Aycock

Euleriana

We show that in his paper {\it ``Plenior expositio serierum illarum memorabilium, quae ex unciis potestatum binomii formantur"} \cite{E663} (E663: ``A more thorough exposition of those memorable series that are formed from the binomial coefficients") Euler could have found the Gaussian summation formula for the hypergeometric series from his own formulas in that same paper, if he actually set the task for himself.

Euler And Homogeneous Difference Equations With Linear Coefficients, Alexander Aycock

Euleriana

We present a method outlined by Euler in his paper{\it ``De fractionibus continuis observationes"} \cite{E123} (E123: ``Observations on continued fractions") that can be used to solve homogeneous difference equations with linear coefficients. We will illustrate his ideas by applying it to two familiar examples and explain how it can be understood from a more modern point of view.

On The Cases In Which The Formula X^4+Kxxyy+Y^4 Can Be Reduced To A Square, Georg Ehlers

Euleriana

Euler’s key idea for equating the Quartic in the title to a square is to set k=P+surd(Q). From this he derives P=f·x^2 and Q=4f·y^2+4 and solves the Pell equation for y. He then discusses various extensions to rational numbers that leave k an integer. Euler provides incomplete tables for integers k with |k|square.

Research On Arithmetic, Erik R. Tou

Euleriana

In this English translation, some of Joseph-Louis Lagrange's early number theory is presented. Here, he laid out a theory of binary quadratic forms with special attention to the representation problem: determining those integers which may be represented by a given form, and cataloguing the possible forms of their divisors.

Participant Preferences Of Identified Maintaining Contingencies, Aubrey Ashby

Thesis Projects

This study sought to evaluate the relationship between preference for reinforcement and behavioral function of one participant. In Study 1, functional analysis (FA) methodologies were employed to determine the function of disruptive behaviors. Study 2 consisted of a concurrent chains analysis where the participant was asked to select the FA condition, they preferred the most. Study 3 evaluated preferences for contingent reinforcement or non-contingent reinforcement of the preferred reinforcer identified in study 2. Results demonstrated that although the participants’ behavior was maintained by escape and attention, the participant preferred the attention condition. Study 3 was inconclusive due to the participant …

The Intersection Of Grief And Religion: How Religious Beliefs Impact The Experience Of Complicated Grief In College Students, Brenna Snively

Psychology Honors Papers

This study evaluates how religious beliefs affect the experience of complicated grief. Students at Ursinus College were asked to complete a survey with questions relating to religious beliefs as well as symptoms of complicated grief and questions regarding the loss of a loved one. This information was utilized to evaluate the relationship between strength of religious beliefs and complicated grief. The research was unable to support the hypothesis that religion affected complicated grief however there was evidence that aspects of religion, such as believing in the afterlife, may affect experiences of complicated grief.
