Supervising The Omnipresent Casino: Evaluating The Role Of State And Local Regulation In Stemming Youth Addiction To Sports Gambling, Matthew Connor Flink

Duke Law Journal

Since 2018, state legalization of sports betting and the industry’s corresponding proliferation has driven an epidemic of youth addiction. Current state legislation and regulations do little to combat youth addiction. Many legal scholars emphasize the value that a federal regulatory regime would provide to reign in youth sports betting. This Note explores the value that state and local government can have in the sports gambling space. To illustrate the unique importance of state and local legislation and regulation of sports betting, this Note analogizes to another addictive product with a history of youth addiction: nicotine.

Nicotine has been a regulatory …

The Second Amendment Right To Bear Arms, Or Lack Thereof: Assessing The Prohibition Of Unlawful Immigrants From Possessing Firearms, Anna Egensperger

Et Cetera

This Note looks at the hot button issue of whether unlawful immigrants should have the constitutional right to bear arms. Thus far, the Circuit Courts have come to different conclusions which require the input of the United States Supreme Court. Although intertwined with political views, this Note attempts to take a non-partisan stance which prioritizes the application of case law and a consistent reading of the Constitution. To provide the full context of this issue, this Note begins by describing the facts and holding of Columbia v. Heller which creates the first test for establishing a right protected under the …

Shimmer: Introducing And Workshopping A New Methodology For Practice-Led Research, Lola Montgomery

Staff Scholarship - Australia & Dubai

This presentation examines a new methodological approach by introducing shimmer as an embodied epistemological state that frequently appears within creative-practice research but is rarely named, scaffolded, or assessed. Emerging at the intersection of feminist philosophy, phenomenology, affect theory, reflective practice, and practice-led research, shimmer describes the moment when insight coheres somatically before it can be articulated conceptually. Rather than positioning intuition as unrigorous or accidental, shimmer reframes embodied emergence as a legitimate site of knowledge production. The paper situates shimmer in relation to existing frameworks such as flow, reflective practice, and action research, identifying a persistent gap in the literature …

Evaluating The Residential Lead Remediation Program In The City Of Lancaster, Kaitlin Mcgowan, Divine Oludi, Harriet Okatch

Phase 1

Introduction: Residential lead remediation is an effective primary prevention approach for addressing lead exposure. Current guidelines require residents of a home get relocated during the remediation. Relocation is often for a period of ten days; however, no study has explored the effect of relocation on families. This study aims to understand the experiences of relocated families with a goal to develop a framework for relocation informed by the experiences of previously relocated families.

Methods. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals from the city of Lancaster whose homes had been remediated during the last two years. Participants described their …

Mycobacteria Infection Induced Cascade Of Epigenetic Alterations Promote Training In Bystander Macrophages, Shah E. Jahan Gulzar Mr

Theses and Dissertations

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remodels host cell functions to support its intracellular persistence. While the effects of Mtb infection on infected macrophages are well characterized, responses of uninfected bystander cells in the same microenvironment remain poorly understood. Here, we show that Mtb infection triggers widespread epigenetic reprogramming not only in infected macrophages but also in neighbouring bystander cells. These bystander macrophages acquire active chromatin marks, exhibit distinct transcriptional changes, and display enhanced immune responsiveness, thereby increasing resistance to both homologous and heterologous infections. We identify interleukin-1 beta secreted by infected cells as a key mediator of this process. Functionally, trained bystander …

Dynamic Soliton Solutions And Stability Analysis Of The (2+1)-Dimensional Wazwaz Kaur Boussinesq Equation Using An Efficient Method, Nivan Mohamed Elsonbaty, Hamdy Mohamed Ahmed, Niveen Mohamed Badra, Wafaa B. Rabie

Basic Science Engineering

This paper presents the first application of the Modified Extended Direct Algebraic (MEDA) method to the (2+1)-dimensional Wazwaz-Kaur-Boussinesq equation, a model governing wave dynamics in shallow waters. The approach successfully uncovers previously unreported classes of exact solutions, including combo dark–singular solitons and Jacobi elliptic function solutions. The spectrum of obtained solutions–which also encompasses bright, dark, and singular solitons, as well as hyperbolic, periodic, exponential, and rational functions–reveals rich and complex soliton dynamics. A comprehensive stability analysis confirms the robustness of these solutions under perturbation. These results significantly advance the understanding of wave propagation in nonlinear systems, providing valuable insights for …

Authentication Of Art, Herbert I. Lazerow

Cleveland State Law Review

The authentication of items permeates our law and our markets. While it is important for many consumer goods, authentication is crucial for artworks and artifacts where the value difference between the authentic and the inauthentic is huge. The question is raised most frequently in conflicts between buyer and seller of art where it is claimed that a warranty was breached, or between the owner of artwork and an authenticator where the claim sounds in tort. It also arises in any situation where the value of the art is important, such as tax or antitrust. Authentication of artwork can be difficult …

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

The widespread adoption of electric vehicles and distributed power sources poses new challenges to power systems, as increased volatility and uncertainty in both load demand and power supply place greater pressure on distribution network operation. To address these challenges, an electric vehicle charging control strategy considering photovoltaic power accommodation is proposed. First, the Monte Carlo method is employed to simulate and analyze the electricity consumption characteristics and charging behaviors of electric vehicle users. Second, a photovoltaic power generation forecasting model is developed based on gated recurrent unit networks. Finally, an orderly charging control strategy for electric vehicles is proposed, with …

Multiformer-Tsa-Based Photovoltaic Power Forecasting Method, Ziwen Cai, Zhukui Tan, Yun Zhao, Yuelang Zhang, Xipeng Liu, Houyi Zhang

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

To address the limitations of current photo voltaic power forecasting methods, which rely heavily on meteorological monitoring and classification techniques and are unable to achieve accurate all-weather forecasting under large-scale complex data, a Multiformer-TSA method based on a two-stage attention (TSA) mechanism is proposed for photovoltaic power forecasting. First, a cross-scale embedding layer is constructed to generate staged sampling tokens and collect photovoltaic sequences at different scales, thus extracting cross-scale features. Then, point-based segments of different dimensions in multivariate time series are embedded to form new feature vectors, capturing cross-dimensional dependencies. Finally, cross-scale and cross-dimensional dependency information is fused through …

Grounding Device With Induced Arc Suppression Function Based On Series Resonant Circuit, Yunhao Shu, Zhenghua Su, Shubin Hou, Yuhan Qian, Zhenjia Shen, Zheng Gong

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

In a strong electromagnetic induction environment, the outage line in the double-circuit line on the same tower will produce induced voltage and induced current. The arc generated when the ground wire is manually installed will seriously affect the safe operation of the equipment. Therefore, this paper proposes a grounding device with induced arc suppression function, which improves the ordinary grounding device by utilizing a series resonant circuit. Firstly, the calculation formula of induced electricity of the double-circuit line on the same tower is deduced theoretically. The working principle of the series resonant grounding device with arc suppression function is analyzed, …

Evaluating Partisan Registrations Amid The Electronic Registration Information Center Controversy, Jared Mcdonald, Alauna Safarpour, Michael Hanmer, Lisa Bryant

Political Science Faculty Publications

Election integrity is paramount to democratic health. The Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) is a multistate collaboration that facilitates essential election administration functions, whereby members share administrative data to ensure clean voter registration lists and to encourage individuals who are eligible but unregistered (EBUs) to register to vote. Despite ERIC’s primary focus on maintaining the accuracy of voter rolls, in 2022, some conservatives accused it of being a tool for partisan electioneering, prompting nine Republican-led states to leave ERIC. To assess the validity of a central criticism made against ERIC, the authors leverage field experiments conducted by member states during …

Implementing Mandatory Minimum Nurse-To-Patient-Ratios In British Columbia, Canada, Mycal Barrowclough, Tarya Morel

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Researchers and nursing advocates have been advocating for safe staffing for many years; unions and health employers have implemented many different approaches with little success. The nursing shortage was already reaching a critical level when the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically highlighted and worsened the impacts of understaffing, leaving nurses consistently working short in an overstretched system. Shift after shift, nurses find themselves risking their licenses and their own mental and physical health as they do their best to meet their patients’ care needs.

In light of the rapidly worsening nursing shortage, it became clear that a different approach was needed. We …
