Which Repair Technique, Bone Tunneling Or Suture Anchors, Is Superior When Performing Lesser Tuberosity Osteotomy At The Time Of Stemless Total Shoulder Arthroplasty?, Jared M. Mahylis, Stephaine J. Muh, Mahdi Mazeh, Emil Espinal Nunez, Daniel Oravec, Johnny Kasto, Chimdindu Obinero, Kai Zhu, Yener N. Yeni, Shariff K. Bishai

Conference Presentation Abstracts

INTRODUCTION: Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has evolved as a treatment for advanced shoulder osteoarthrosis, with stemless implants gaining popularity due to reduced risks of stress shielding and complications associated with stemmed designs. However, the optimal technique for repairing the subscapularis during TSA remains under investigation. This study evaluates the biomechanical performance of two repair techniques—bone tunneling and suture anchors—used for Lesser Tuberosity Osteotomy (LTO) in the context of stemless TSA.  
METHODS: Ten shoulders from six cadaveric specimens (3 male, 3 female; aged 58–93) were prepared and allocated to bone tunneling or suture anchor repair groups. Cyclic loading tests were performed, …

The U Visa At 25: Legislative Missteps, Bureaucratic Neglect, And Geographic Roulette, Jason A. Cade

Scholarly Works

A quarter century ago, Congress created the U visa with dual goals: protecting immigrant crime victims and facilitating law enforcement cooperation by removing deportation barriers to crime reporting. Yet the program as implemented has fallen dramatically short of these aims. This Essay provides the first comprehensive analysis of the U visa's structural failures at its twenty-fifth anniversary. Two fundamental design flaws plague the program. First, Congress capped U visas at 10,000 annually-far below actual need-while the immigration agency has consistently failed to implement congressionally-authorized interim protections. The result is that, as of 2025, applicants wait five years for work authorization …

Leveraging Csr To Buffer Brand Challenges During Crises: A Saudi Arabian Perspective, Nouf Alrayes, Abdullah Alhidari

Journal of Marketing and Consumer Behaviour in Emerging Markets

Crises, such as economic downturns or global health pandemics, pose significant business challenges. Engaging in CSR initiatives that contribute to societal well-being can help mitigate the negative consequences of crises, reinforce customer gratitude, and minimize corporate hypocrisy. CSR is critical in shaping a company’s accountability and ethical responsibilities. Consequently, there is an opportunity for the firm to see the role of CSR and how it affects customers’ responses and attitudes during any difficult situation. Drawing upon attribution theory and the customer gratitude reciprocity cycle, a conceptual framework was developed to test the impact of CSR on the variables: corporate hypocrisy, …

Does Demographic Aging And Financial Globalization Moderate Crowding Out? Federal Deficits And U.S. Long-Term Real Interest Rates., Tyson C. Test

Honors Thesis

This thesis examines how U.S. federal budget deficits and demographic aging relate to long-term U.S. real interest rates, and how global financial conditions shape that relationship over time. Using annual data from 1960 to 2023, I construct real 10-year Treasury rates by subtracting CPI inflation from 10-year Treasury yields, measure fiscal deficits as a share of GDP, and measure demographic aging with the old-age dependency ratio. I estimate OLS regressions with an interaction term between deficits and aging to test whether the association between deficits and real rates varies with demographic structure. To account for structural differences in the U.S. …

Influence Of Pulse Width On Energy Deposition And Temperature In Nanosecond-Pulsed Discharges, Christopher B. Reuter, Joshua B. Sinrud, Tanvir I. Farouk, Nicholas S. Dewey, Dmitri Kaganovich

Faculty Publications

Nanosecond-pulsed discharges are a promising method to enhance combustion but can generate significant levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Modifying the discharge pulse width is an unexplored option to reduce EMI, but few studies have examined how changing the pulse width affects discharge parameters such as energy and temperature. This study addresses this issue by systematically investigating how the pulse width affects the energy per pulse, breakdown time, rotational temperature, and vibrational temperature in air across different frequencies, flow velocities, and gap distances in a plasma-assisted flow tube. It is observed that the pulse width has a substantial impact on the …

If We Build It, Will They Use It? Aligning Resource Recovery Design With Place-Based Social Systems, Jayce Sudweeks, Helen Rosko, Matthew R. Landsman, Francisco Cubas-Suazo, Lewis Stetson Rowles

Public & Nonprofit Studies: Faculty Publications

Recovering water, nutrients, energy, and critical materials from waste streams is essential for building resilient and circular water systems. Yet many recovery technologies fail to achieve adoption or persistence beyond pilot scales because they overlook the social and institutional contexts that shape implementation. This Perspective reframes resource recovery as an adaptive challenge, i.e., one that depends as much on governance capacity, trust, and collective learning as on technical optimization. We propose a watershed- and place-based framework that situates recovery systems within the ecological and institutional boundaries where communities, infrastructure, and governance intersect. Within this discussion, the Community Capitals Framework offers …

The Trump Administration’S Theory Of Constitutional War Powers: “The President Could Decide”, Rebecca Ingber

Online Publications

President Donald Trump has launched another unlawful war, this time in the service of regime change in Iran. The administration has been threatening the use of force for weeks, but provided very little public justification, description of what the president hoped to accomplish, or explanation for how the use of force would effectuate such goals. It has also to date presented no legal justification whatsoever. Much of what we know at this moment about how the administration views, and how it lawyers, questions of war powers can be derived from the one legal memorandum the administration has released on the …

How To Design A State Child And Dependent Care Tax Credit That Works, Gabrielle Pepin

Reports

High care costs for children and older adults put an increasing strain on American families, often pushing caregivers out of the workforce. While investments in affordable care deliver lasting benefits for families, employers, and the economy, the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) falls short—leaving states well positioned to make a difference. This Policy Blueprint highlights three ways the CDCTC fails families, and three solutions for designing a state tax credit that can help.

Isde Guidelines On The Management Of Ct2n0 Esophageal Cancer, Sarbajit Mukherjee

All Publications

Esophageal cancer incidence is rising globally, with at least 500,000 new cases diagnosed annually. Management options for non-metastatic disease include primary resection, neoadjuvant or perioperative therapies, or definitive non-surgical treatment, with the choice being guided by tumor staging, histology, patient fitness, and available resources. However, even with the use of advanced diagnostic modalities, preoperative clinical staging is challenging with respect to accuracy of both tumor and nodal assessment. Early-stage esophageal cancer may be managed with local therapies, such as endoscopic mucosal resection or submucosal dissection, while for more advanced tumors managed with curative intent neoadjuvant oncologic therapy is commonly recommended. …

Nursing Practice In Cancer Treatment Decision Making Among Older Adults: A Scoping Review On Behalf Of The International Society Of Geriatric Oncology Nursing, Allied Health, And Scientists Interest Group, Fay J.

Haase, Michelle Hannan, Cindy Kenis, Juan Li, Nikita Nikita, Sophie Pilleron, Tracy Ruegg, Heike Schmidt, Anke Steckelberg, Cassandra Vonnes, Martine Puts

Department of Medical Oncology Faculty Papers

INTRODUCTION: Cancer treatment decision making (CTDM) presents important challenges among older adults due to variation in health and functional status, presence of comorbidities, differing goals/values, quality and quantity of life considerations, and limited inclusion in clinical trials. Nursing standards and guidelines call for competence in supporting CTDM and nurses advocate for greater involvement. However, clear understanding of the existing evidence to inform nursing practice is lacking. We aimed to map and synthesize evidence that provides insight into nursing practice in CTDM among older adults, with attention to nursing roles, required skills and competencies, potential barriers and facilitators, and outcomes studied. …

Department of Medical Oncology Faculty Papers

PURPOSE: To dissect the clinical and immunologic features of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; PLWH) diagnosed with melanoma, who have consistently shown worse outcomes than HIV-negative individuals (PLw/oH) with the same cancer.

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We analyzed electronic health records from 1,087 PLWH and 394,437 PLw/oH with melanoma. Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared. Spatial immune transcriptomics (72 immune-related genes) was performed on melanoma tumor samples (n = 11), with downstream validation using multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF; n = 15 PLWH, n = 14 PLw/oH).

RESULTS: PLWH were diagnosed at a younger age, had a greater representation of Hispanic and …

Benevolence And Brutality: Evangelical Christianity & Child Welfare Social Work In Historical Perspective, Grace Pappas

School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Presentations

Evangelical Christians in the U.S. are a unique population with tremendous socio-political influence. While evangelicals have a unique interest in foster care and adoption, little social work scholarship explores intersections between evangelicalism and child welfare. Through an integrative literature review of 11 historical articles discussing evangelical Christianity and child welfare social work, I found the scholarship as a whole tended to emphasize evangelical Christians’ good intentions and deeds, while only limitedly discussing white supremacy, xenophobia, and settler colonialism. In light of these findings, I discuss potential implications and offer three invitations for further exploring this line of inquiry.

Cultivation Of Arthrospira Platensis (Spirulina) In Food-Based Industrial Wastewater For High-Yield Phycocyanin Extraction, Pavithira Sathinathan

Student Works (2020-2029)

Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) is a filamentous cyanobacterium valued for its nutritional profile, particularly the pigment–protein phycocyanin, with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Despite its industrial significance, large-scale commercialization remains constrained by high cultivation costs and inefficient extraction methods. This study investigated the use of food-based industrial wastewater as an alternative nutrient medium for Spirulina cultivation, aiming to reduce production costs, enhance phycocyanin yield, and support sustainable wastewater remediation. Three types of food-based wastewater with different nutrient composition (WW1, WW2, WW3) was diluted with Kosaric medium (1:1) and used for Spirulina cultivation. The highest biomass concentration was achieved in WW2 (1.93 …
