Culturally Responsive Family Counseling for Intimate Partner Violence in Black Communities: A Systemic, Intersectional, and Advocacy-Oriented Review

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a relational and public health concern with consequences that extend across couple, family, community, and service systems. Black women who experience IPV may encounter overlapping barriers related to racialized gender stereotypes, economic cons...

Fusing Spectral Signatures and Activation Clustering for Backdoor Detection in Healthcare Imaging Models: Method, Implementation, and Evaluation

Machine learning models are increasingly deployed in healthcare imaging pipelines for diagnostic support, and training-time attacks against them are a named sector-level concern: healthcare-sector guidance identifies model poisoning and adversarial attacks as threats requiring de...

AnExplainable AI Engineering Framework for Claims-Only First-Stage Provider Audit Triage Using SHAP-Guided Hybrid Retrieval-Augmented Generation

This study proposes an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) engineering workflow for provider-level healthcare claim audit prioritization using SHAP-guided hybrid retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). The framework integrates provider-level claim aggregation, tree-based risk...

Toward a Developmentally Informed Framework for Childhood Suicidality: Integrating Systems, Attachment, and Prevention

Suicidality among children aged 10 and younger is an increasingly recognized public health concern, yet the counseling field lacks a comprehensive, developmentally informed framework to guide practice with this population. Research confirms that suicidal ideation and behavior occ...

Toward Automated Detection of Data Poisoning and Backdoor Attacks in Healthcare Imaging AI: A Proposed Detection Methodology and Evaluation Framework

Machine learning models are increasingly deployed in healthcare imaging pipelines for diagnosticsupport, yet the security of these models against training-time attacks — particularlydata poisoning and backdoor insertion — remains substantially under-tested relative to theirgrowin...

Strategic Management of Autonomous Drone Systems: Value Creation, Organizational Capabilities, and Ecosystem Readiness

Autonomous systems are now transitioning from R&D into business assets. When autonomous systems-intelligent machines are combined with sensors, AI, networking and autonomous logic, the machines can execute physical tasks with a degree of autonomy from direct human control. The pa...
