All Prisoners Are Equal, But Some Prisoners Are More Equal Than Others: An Inmate’S Right To Sex Reassignment Surgery After Kosilek V. Spencer, 889 F. Supp. 2d 190 (D. Mass. 2012), Julia Kaye Wykoff May 2016

All Prisoners Are Equal, But Some Prisoners Are More Equal Than Others: An Inmate’S Right To Sex Reassignment Surgery After Kosilek V. Spencer, 889 F. Supp. 2d 190 (D. Mass. 2012), Julia Kaye Wykoff

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

In a system where all prisoners are equal, some prisoners are more equal than others. Despite the progression of the LGBT community, one very overlooked group is transgender prisoners. This Note explores a transgender prisoner’s rights to sex reassignment surgery. In 2012, a federal district judge held for the first time that a DOC prisoner must receive sex reassignment surgery. In a ten-year battle, Michelle Kosilek presented evidence that his Gender Identity Disorder was so severe that the only way to medically treat the condition was to have a sex reassignment surgery. This case presented new, unprecedented law regarding the …

Domestic Tranquility: The Goals Of Home Protection, Burke Bindbeutel May 2016

Domestic Tranquility: The Goals Of Home Protection, Burke Bindbeutel

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

This Article proposes an explanation for the special place of the home by surveying the development of privacy jurisprudence and grounding that development in our political tradition. Our earliest conception of rights began with a kind of home protection. But then there was a crucial shift into the abstract realm of privacy. Legal home protection has evolved beyond a ceasefire between state and citizen. Where before it was enough to stay the government’s intrusion into the home, there is today a recognition of the value of the intimate association of free individuals and the trust in government which arises from …

What Influences Do Age, Gender And Race/Ethnicity Have On The Overall Health Consequences Of Excess Lead In Children?, Jessica J. Smith May 2016

What Influences Do Age, Gender And Race/Ethnicity Have On The Overall Health Consequences Of Excess Lead In Children?, Jessica J. Smith

Research Papers

After Flint, Michigan governmental authorities introduced a more corrosive water source into an already aging water system without adequate corrosion control, the percentage of children with elevated blood lead levels increased, particularly in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods. The main objective of this research paper is to clarify influences of age, gender and race, ethnicity have on the overall health consequences of excess lead in children. There are studies that focus on the short and long term effects of neurological, hypertension, renal, and developmental on children. However, since specific demographic evidence is still limited, future research is still needed to implement a …

Pterotocrinus Wing Plate Morphology In The Hombergian, Julie Driebergen May 2016

Pterotocrinus Wing Plate Morphology In The Hombergian, Julie Driebergen

Honors Theses

This project is an extension of a Masters Degree thesis of a paleontology student, Tony Tobenski, who went to SIU (Tobenski, 2011). Tobenski (2011) examined the Menard Limestone of the Kinkaid Formation (Late Mississippian) to determine the function, morphology, evolution, and biostratigraphical usefulness of crinoid wing plates. I examined the Golconda and Glen Dean Formations of the Upper Mississippian Hombergian at the Golconda Marina (Type Section) in Illinois and in Western Kentucky near Cave-In-Rock, IL. Pterotocrinus is an extinct genus of crinoid (an echinoderm; related to starfish and sea urchins) and its wing plates are thought to be used for …

The Evolution Of Inequity Aversion: Nonhuman Primate Responses To Unequal Reward Distributions, Jessica Feller May 2016

The Evolution Of Inequity Aversion: Nonhuman Primate Responses To Unequal Reward Distributions, Jessica Feller

Theses

Inequity aversion, the negative response to receiving an unequal reward, has been intensely studied and is well established in humans. However, why humans developed a profound sense of equity is still enigmatic, and the evolutionary roots of this interesting phenomenon are still largely unknown. The little research that has been completed on nonhuman primates indicates that some species, like humans, are inequity averse, while others are not. Brosnan and de Waal (2003) suggested that an aversion to inequitable outcomes coevolved as a response to an increased emphasis on cooperative relationships, where individuals would respond negatively when their rewards differed from …

The Brontë Attachment Novels: An Examination Of The Development Of Proto-Attachment Narratives In The Nineteenth Century, James Mcnierney May 2016

The Brontë Attachment Novels: An Examination Of The Development Of Proto-Attachment Narratives In The Nineteenth Century, James Mcnierney

Theses

John Bowlby’s work on attachment theory in the 1960s altered the cultural understanding of parent-child relationships. Bowlby argued that the ability for an individual to form attachments later in life, be that familial, romantic, or friendship is affected by whether or not that individual formed a strong attachment to a primary caregiver in early childhood. My thesis uses Bowlby’s theory as a critical lens to examine three novels by the Brontës: Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë. I use this theory in order to demonstrate that these …

Variables That Influence Preference For Response Cost, Isaac M. Nzuki May 2016

Variables That Influence Preference For Response Cost, Isaac M. Nzuki

Theses

Few researchers have compared preference for reinforcement and response cost within a token economy, and the results have shown that preference varies among individuals (e.g., Donaldson et al., 2014; Iwata & Bailey, 1974; Jowett Hirst et al., 2016). Preference for response cost is an interesting phenomenon because response cost is a punishment procedure and is often considered aversive. Therefore, identifying the variables that influence preference for response cost is an important area of research. Some authors have suggested that the immediate delivery or presence of tokens might influence preference for response cost, but these variables have yet to be experimentally …

Biological Distance In Middle And Late Archaic Populations Of The Mid-South United States, Meadow Lea Campbell May 2016

Biological Distance In Middle And Late Archaic Populations Of The Mid-South United States, Meadow Lea Campbell

Dissertations

This dissertation used osteometrics to assess the level of congruence between biological distance and long-distance material exchange in three Middle and Late Archaic groups living in the mid-South United States. Dental and cranial data support greater biological affinity between groups in southern Illinois (represented by individuals from the Black Earth site) and central Tennessee (individuals from Eva and surrounding sites) while groups in the Green River region of western Kentucky (Shell Mound Archaic) were somewhat more removed or perhaps more isolated. Females were more biologically variable than males for the majority of metrics used. This finding is suggestive of a …

Naturally Striated Muscle: Examining The Ideographic Crystallization Of, Dustin L. Briggs May 2016

Naturally Striated Muscle: Examining The Ideographic Crystallization Of, Dustin L. Briggs

Dissertations

In U.S. America and much of the Western world, natural is a venerated symbolic placeholder for any number of assumed virtues and ideals. Present conflicts have brought forward questions about what natural (which I argue functions as an ideograph) should mean in contexts that seem to call for a formal, enforceable definition. In this study, I use the vocabulary of Deleuze and Guattari (1987) and the context of bodybuilding to work towards a theory of how ambiguous ideographs become "striated" or “crystallized.” Within this discussion I present instances where natural has been employed as a vehicle to cause harm, and …

Cracking The World System: Mediating Public Pedagogies From The “World Revolution” Of 1848, James Kepley Anderson May 2016

Cracking The World System: Mediating Public Pedagogies From The “World Revolution” Of 1848, James Kepley Anderson

Dissertations

This project adopts the framework of World Systems Analysis [WSA], formulated by global sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein, to take the entire world system as the unit of analysis. Drawing on the work of Paulo Freire, the seminal theorist of critical pedagogy, this project couples WSA with the analytic lens of public pedagogy to overcome the conceptual limitations of ideology and of various postmodern critiques. Primary media sources are used for purposes of critical political economy, to outline the contours of economic changes and class formations from the first world revolution. A detailed descriptive history of the revolutions that swept across Europe …

Human Mitochondrial Dna Replication Machinery And Disease., Matthew J Young, William C Copeland Apr 2016

Human Mitochondrial Dna Replication Machinery And Disease., Matthew J Young, William C Copeland

Articles

The human mitochondrial genome is replicated by DNA polymerase γ in concert with key components of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication machinery. Defects in mtDNA replication or nucleotide metabolism cause deletions, point mutations, or depletion of mtDNA. The resulting loss of cellular respiration ultimately induces mitochondrial genetic diseases, including mtDNA depletion syndromes (MDS) such as Alpers or early infantile hepatocerebral syndromes, and mtDNA deletion disorders such as progressive external ophthalmoplegia, ataxia-neuropathy, or mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy. Here we review the current literature regarding human mtDNA replication and heritable disorders caused by genetic changes of the POLG, POLG2, Twinkle, RNASEH1, DNA2, and …

Plenty Of Fish: Irony Of Animation, Brett J. Moron Apr 2016

Plenty Of Fish: Irony Of Animation, Brett J. Moron

Research Papers

Along with the trends in media, animation is rapidly changing. With these changes it becomes harder to identify what is truly a unique or original idea in this media art form. Parody, a common component found in animation can be the very foundation in regards to the creation of a cartoon or an animated art. But is it the animator’s or creator’s key goal to make a parody or are they trying to create a unique story that deviates from a traditional tale? Are the passions behind them to be comical, creative, or both? To find out, I decided to …

Variation In Metapopulation Dynamics Of A Wetland Mammal: The Effect Of Hydrology., Jorista Van Der Merwe, Eric C. Hellgren, Eric M. Schauber Mar 2016

Variation In Metapopulation Dynamics Of A Wetland Mammal: The Effect Of Hydrology., Jorista Van Der Merwe, Eric C. Hellgren, Eric M. Schauber

Publications

Key factors affecting metapopulation dynamics of animals include patch size, isolation, and patch quality. For wetland-associated species, hydrology can affect patch availability, connectivity, and potentially habitat quality; and therefore drive metapopulation dynamics. Wetlands occurring on natural river floodplains typically have more dynamic hydrology than anthropogenic wetlands. Our overall objective was to assess the multiyear spatial and temporal variation in occupancy and turnover rates of a semi-aquatic small mammal at two hydrologically distinct wetland complexes. We live-trapped marsh rice rats (Oryzomys palustris) for 3 yr and >50 000 trap nights at nine wetland patches on the Mississippi River floodplain …

Peer-reviewed Articles

Luteinized unruptured follicle (LUF) syndrome is a recurrent anovulatory dysfunction that affects up to 23% of women with normal menstrual cycles and up to 73% with endometriosis. Mechanisms underlying the development of LUF syndrome in mares were studied to provide a potential model for human anovulation. The effect of extended increase in circulating LH achieved by administration of recombinant equine LH (reLH) or a short surge of LH and decrease in progesterone induced by prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) on LUF formation (Experiment 1), identification of an optimal dose of COX-2 inhibitor (flunixin meglumine, FM; to block the effect of prostaglandins) for …

Fatty Acid Profiles Distinguish Channel Catfish From Three Reaches Of The Lower Kaskaskia River And Its Floodplain Lakes, Matthew Young, Gregory Whitledge, Jesse Trushenski

Publications

Despite the increasing use of fatty acids (FAs) as biomarkers in aquatic food web analysis, little information is available regarding differences in FA profiles of fish among habitat types in river-floodplain ecosystems. The objectives of this study were to 1) test whether the FA profiles of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) differed among three reaches of the lower Kaskaskia River and its floodplain lakes, and 2) to compare FA profiles among muscle, liver, and adipose fin tissues collected from these fish. Profiles differed significantly among sites, especially between upper and lower river sites, and between river channel and oxbow …

Inhale, Exile: Limiting Review Of Aggravated Felonies And Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude After Moncrieffe V. Holder, 133 S. Ct. 1678 (2013), Tania P. Linares Garcia

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

Although there is a general consensus that the immigration system in the United States is in dire need of reform, it is still unclear whether Congress will pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill in the near future. Under current immigration laws, noncitizens face serious consequences, even minor criminal convictions. The Immigration and Naturalization Act (“INA”) currently allows for a lawful permanent resident to be detained and placed in removal proceedings after a conviction for an “aggravated felony,” a conviction for a “crime involving moral turpitude” (“CIMT”) within five years of admission, or two convictions for “crimes involving moral turpitude.” Moreover, …

Homeostatic Signaling By Cell-Cell Junctions And Its Dysregulation During Cancer Progression., Yang Yu, Randolph C Elble Feb 2016

Homeostatic Signaling By Cell-Cell Junctions And Its Dysregulation During Cancer Progression., Yang Yu, Randolph C Elble

Articles

The transition of sessile epithelial cells to a migratory, mesenchymal phenotype is essential for metazoan development and tissue repair, but this program is exploited by tumor cells in order to escape the confines of the primary organ site, evade immunosurveillance, and resist chemo-radiation. In addition, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) confers stem-like properties that increase efficiency of colonization of distant organs. This review evaluates the role of cell-cell junctions in suppressing EMT and maintaining a quiescent epithelium. We discuss the conflicting data on junctional signaling in cancer and recent developments that resolve some of these conflicts. We focus on evidence from breast …

Age Related Decline In Female Lar Gibbon Great Call Performance Suggests That Call Features Correlate With Physical Condition, Thomas A. Terlepht, Suchinda Malaivijitnond, Ulrich H. Reichard Feb 2016

Age Related Decline In Female Lar Gibbon Great Call Performance Suggests That Call Features Correlate With Physical Condition, Thomas A. Terlepht, Suchinda Malaivijitnond, Ulrich H. Reichard

Publications

Background: White-handed gibbons (Hylobates lar) are small Asian apes known for living in stable territories and producing loud, elaborate vocalizations (songs), often in well-coordinated male/female duets. The female great call, the most conspicuous phrase of the repertoire, has been hypothesized to function in intra-sexual territorial defense. We therefore predicted that characteristics of the great call would correlate with a caller’s physical condition, and thus might honestly reflect resource holding potential (RHP). Because measurement of RHP is virtually impossible for wild animals, we used age as a proxy, hypothesizing that great call climaxes are difficult to produce and maintain over time, …

Endonuclease Activities Of Mutlα And Its Homologs In Dna Mismatch Repair., Lyudmila Y Kadyrova, Farid A Kadyrov

Articles

MutLα is a key component of the DNA mismatch repair system in eukaryotes. The DNA mismatch repair system has several genetic stabilization functions. Of these functions, DNA mismatch repair is the major one. The loss of MutLα abolishes DNA mismatch repair, thereby predisposing humans to cancer. MutLα has an endonuclease activity that is required for DNA mismatch repair. The endonuclease activity of MutLα depends on the DQHA(X)2E(X)4E motif which is a part of the active site of the nuclease. This motif is also present in many bacterial MutL and eukaryotic MutLγ proteins, DNA mismatch repair system factors that are homologous …

Sustainable food production for a rapidly growing global population is a major challenge of this century. In order to meet the demand for food production, an additional land area of 2.7 to 4.9 Mha year -1 will be required for agriculture. However, one third of arable lands are already contaminated, therefore the use of polluted lands will have to feature highly in modern agriculture. The use of such lands comes however with additional challenges and suitable agrotechnological interventions are essential for ensuring the safety and sustainability of relevant production system. There are also other issues to consider such as, cost …

Water Quality And Nutrient Management Extension Programs In Ohio, Andrew J. Londo, Greg Labarge, Harold Watters, Steve Culman, Mary Ann Rose, Peggy Hall, Glen Arnold, Sam Custer, Eric Richer, Sarah Noggle, Chris Penrose Jan 2016

Water Quality And Nutrient Management Extension Programs In Ohio, Andrew J. Londo, Greg Labarge, Harold Watters, Steve Culman, Mary Ann Rose, Peggy Hall, Glen Arnold, Sam Custer, Eric Richer, Sarah Noggle, Chris Penrose

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

Extension has a long history of conducting educational programs for agricultural producers on a wide array of issues, including water quality. In Ohio, the focus of these educational efforts has grown to include best management practices for nutrient management. The need for education in nutrient management began in earnest in the 1970s due to the presence of harmful algal blooms (HAB) in the Western Lake Erie Basin. International actions taken during that time all but eliminated the HABs from the lake until they made a resurgence in the 1990s. Twenty years later, the HAB threat in Lake Erie is still …

While global amphibian declines are associated with the spread of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), undetected concurrent co-infection by other pathogens may be little recognized threats to amphibians. Emerging viruses in the genus Ranavirus (Rv) also cause die-offs of amphibians and other ectotherms, but the extent of their distribution globally, or how co-infections with Bd impact amphibians are poorly understood. We provide the first report of Bd and Rv co-infection in South America, and the first report of Rv infections in the amphibian biodiversity hotspot of the Peruvian Andes, where Bd is associated with extinctions. Using these data, we tested the hypothesis …

Cognitive and affective processes in play have related to measures of creativity in school-aged children. In a previous examination of these play processes in preschool-aged children with the Affect in Play Scale-Preschool version, cognitive and affective play processes related to divergent thinking. One goal of the current study was to replicate this finding and examine the relationship between pretend play and storytelling creativity in preschoolers. A second goal was to test the effectiveness of a brief play intervention. Adult-led play interventions have effectively improved play skills and related developmental skills for children with documented play deficits. However, there is a …
