'Nephrogenic' Systemic Fibrosis Is Mediated By Myeloid C-C Chemokine Receptor 2 Dataset, Catherine Do, Viktor Drel, Chunyan Tan, Duck-Yoon Lee, Brent Wagner

The Kidney Institute of New Mexico

This dataset presents results of an in vivo model of gadolinium-based contrast agent-induced systemic fibrosis. Figure 1 demonstrates that gadolinium-based contrast agent treatment induces dermal fibrosis and hypercellularity of the same magnitude in patients afflicted with ‘nephrogenic’ systemic fibrosis. Electron microscopy demonstrated that systemic gadolinium treatment induced the formation of multinucleated giant cells in the dermis laden with electron-dense, mesh-like nanostructures. Scanning transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy revealed that the electron-dense nanoparticles were gadolinium rich. Figure 2 represents the first chimeric model of mice and gadolinium-induced systemic fibrosis (to our knowledge). Lethally-irradiated mice with 5/6 nephrectomy (to model renal …

A Pilot Study On Adolescent Mobile Phone Use, Indirect Mental Health Costs And Cultural Context Considerations – Report, Siobhan K. Yilmaz, Alok Bohara

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Adolescents are being recognized as a generation, worldwide, that require different policy approaches to improve their health and wellbeing, including the adoption of mobile based health interventions (e.g. mHealth). While mHealth interventions are growing in popularity, many researchers/policy-makers have neglected assessing potential (indirect) costs/negative consequences from their use. Evidence from the developed world shows strong associations between cell phone use and negative mental health outcomes, but such findings are minimal in developing world contexts. Using primary data from a large-scale, school-based survey of 17-19-year-old adolescents in southwestern Nepal, this report provides background information to motivate additional work investigating the presence …

Conference Summary Report, International Conference Role Of Nepali Diaspora In Higher Education In Nepal, Ambika P. Adhikari, Govinda P. Dahal, Basu Sharma, Dinesh Gajurel

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

The ongoing international migration from developing countries to developed ones has led to a large presence of Diaspora population in developed countries. Many of those well-educated and established professionals and businessmen have felt a need to give back to their home countries. The impact of Diaspora in their home country has been realized mainly in four different areas: economic development through remittance, investment and trade; intellectual development via knowledge transfer and knowledge application; social development through philanthropy and volunteerism; and political development via diplomacy, lobbying, awareness raising and political participation.

Diaspora giving back mechanisms have deployed various programs. Such programs …

Second Generation Property Rights Issues, Katrina M. Wyman

Natural Resources Journal

For decades, scholarship, inspired by Ronald Coase and advocating greater use of property rights and markets, has focused on important “first generation” issues related to establishing property rights. This article makes two main points. First, it highlights the potential for things to go awry after property rights have been established in environmental resources. In emphasizing that property rights may become misallocated, this article draws on the theoretical arguments recently advanced by Eric Posner, Glen Weyl, and Lee Fennell that private property can lead to allocative inefficiency. Second, this article highlights three categories of explanations for why environmental property rights are …

The Ore Tailings Dam Rupture Disaster In Mariana, Brazil 2015: What We Have To Learn From Anthropogenic Disasters, Délton Winter De Carvalho

Natural Resources Journal

This article presents a description of the largest environmental disaster in Brazil to date, the rupture of the ore tailings dam which occurred in the municipality of Mariana, Brazil. This event of environmentally, economically and socially catastrophic proportions was caused by a tsunami of mud from tailings resulting from ore exploitation. This article preliminarily describes the magnitude of the event focusing on regulatory failures that can yield lessons in order for future similar events to be avoided. The ultimate goal of this article is to reflect on the low capacity for evaluation and management of catastrophic risks, not only in …

The Legal Principle Of Reciprocity In The Peaceful Management Of Transboundary Watercourses: The Duty To Cooperate, Rules Of Procedure And Self-Help Measures, David J. Devlaeminck

Natural Resources Journal

As a legal principle, reciprocity influences the distribution of rights and duties providing a sense of fairness. This article explores the role that reciprocity plays in the law governing the use of transboundary waters shared by nation states (international water law). Three areas of the international law in this field – the duty to cooperate, the rules of procedure, and dispute settlement – are analysed through the lens of reciprocity. Although prevalent in general international law, the application of self-help measures finds scant consideration and practice in the field of international water law. Although such measures may be appropriate in …

Governing The Nile Under Climatic Uncertainty: The Need For A Climate-Proof Basin-Wide Treaty, Mahemud Eshtu Tekuya

Natural Resources Journal

This article examines treaty flexibility and climate change adaptation in the context of the Nile Basin. The Nile Basin is the focus of a voluminous body of academic literature, but there are gaps in the literature regarding the legal regimes of the Nile. Political scientists have extensively studied the role of power dynamics and hydro-hegemony in their effort to determine “who gets how much [of the Nile] water, when, where and why?” Peace and Security scholars have also addressed the issue of whether the Nile River will be a source of conflict or a catalyst for cooperation. Legal scholars, on …

Vertical And Horizontal Modes Of Injustice In Air Pollution: A Comparison Of Law And Society In China And The Us, Mingjie Hoemmen

Natural Resources Journal

This article will compare legal remedies to both pollution and environmental injustice available in the United States and China. In 2015, China adopted a law that shares many features with the U.S. Clean Air Act that have proven successful in the United States. The law is still new, but China’s regional cultural differences, less experience with civil lawsuits, and uncertainty about the rule of law may risk its effectiveness. Furthermore, the evolving political situation in both China and the United States may change availability of remedies for class discrimination due to anti-pollution policies. Finally, this article will use the case …

New Materialism: An Ontology For The Anthropocene, Melinda Harm Benson

Natural Resources Journal

This article argues that the Anthropocene is not simply a new geologic epoch; it is an opportunity to embrace a new ontology. In it, we can reconfigure our orientation to the material world. The current, dominant ontology casts humans as villains responsible for mass extinctions, polluted oceans, and climate change. This ontology reinforces a familiar binary—one in which humans are separate from and doing things to nature. Humans are ruining the planet, causing it to fundamentally change in ways that are not “natural” precisely because humans are the agent of change. This view is perhaps best described by environmentalist Bill …

New Mexico Composers Archive, Unm Digital Initiatives & Scholarly Communication

Love in the Archives 2019

Merging the digital with the physical, the New Mexico Composers' Archive (MSS 904 BC) was featured on screen and in print during Love in the Archives. Begun in 1973 by then-Dean of Libraries Dr. John Harvey, the collection has been partially digitized. Exhibit-goers were able to interact with the digital and physical objects and draw their own conclusions about the pros and cons of each format. A few pieces were newly digitized for the exhibit and they are included here.

Multi-Institutional Multidisciplinary Injury Mortality Investigation In The Civilian Pre-Hospital Environment (Mimic): A Methodology For Reliably Measuring Prehospital Time And Distance To Definitive Care, Nicolas W. Medrano, Cynthia Lizette Villarreal, Michelle A. Price, Ellen Mackenzie, Kurt B. Nolte, Monica J. Phillips, Ronald M. Stewart, Brian J. Eastridge

Pathology Research and Scholarship

The detailed study of prehospital injury death is critical to advancing trauma and emergency care, as circumstance and causality have significant implications for the development of mitigation strategies. Though there is no true 'Golden Hour,' the time from injury to care is a critical element in the analysis matrix, particularly in patients with severe injury. Currently, there is no standard method for the assessment of time to definitive care after injury among prehospital deaths. This article describes a methodology to estimate total prehospital time and distance for trauma patients transported via ground emergency medical services and helicopter emergency medical services …

The Emergence Of Modern Higher Education: The German University And Its Influence, Charles E. Mcclelland

History Faculty Publications

Explores the main significance of the German university in its pioneering emphasis on the search for new knowledge rather than the transmission, from older to younger generations, of relatively static professional canons. Teaching staff came increasingly to be recruited from scholars and scientists who had researched, discovered and made public new interpretations and were expected to continue to do so as a part of their official duties.
