State V. Riker, Battered Women Under Duress: The Concept The Washington Supreme Court Could Not Grasp, Ann-Marie Montgomery

Seattle University Law Review

Although some people have the option of going to the police after receiving threats on their lives, this was not the case for Deborah Riker: Deborah is a battered woman. Since age nine, Deborah suffered repeated torture and abuse at the hands of men who were in her life. In 1987, Deborah met Rupert Burke, a man who abused both women and drugs. When Burke threatened both Deborah and her sister, Deborah did what he told her to do: she soldhim cocaine. As a result, Deborah was charged with delivery and possession of cocaine. Deborah's case presented the classic defense …

Regenerative Failure: A Potential Mechanism For Neuritic Dystrophy In Alzheimer’S Disease, David A. Dewitt, Jerry Silver

Faculty Publications and Presentations

Although neuronal pathology and synaptic loss are salient features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the underlying mechanisms involved are unknown. Using double-immunolabeled preparations, we found that both the density and the total lengths of axons are decreased within the AB-containing area of senile plaques (SP) in comparison with the adjacent neuropil. These observations suggest that axotomy is occurring in the vicinity of the SP which could account for the synaptic loss. Since AB in solution has been shown to be neurotoxic in vitro, we tested whether intact SP cores isolated from AD brain were equally detrimental when presented to retinal ganglion …

Living On A Fault Line: Political Violence Against Women In Algeria, Leila Hessini

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

This study raises three questions to better comprehend the crisis women face in Algeria today: how are the state and the opposition groups addressing and defining women’s contemporary status, what is the link between women’s status and violence against them, and what are the tactics both of resistance and accommodation that Algerian women are using to survive in such a context? Throughout this study, the term “Islamic Fundamentalists” refers to movements and people in Algeria who use the “recovery” of early principles of the Ideal Muslim Community to develop their idea of a future Islamic “social order,” with the ultimate …

Assisted Reproductive Technology And The Threat To The Traditional Family, Radhika Rao

UC Law Journal

In Professor Rao's article, she responds to Professor Roberts' and Professor Robertson's seemingly divergent views on new reproductive technologies. Specifically, she contrasts Professor Robertson's advocacy of Constitutional protection for all procreative opportunities with Professor Robert's more skeptical view of new reproductive technologies and the racial hierarchy she suggests they create. Finally, Professor Rao warns that if left unchecked, the new reproductive technologies may broadly undermine the traditional family paradigm.

The In/Fertile, The Too Fertile, And The Dysfertile, Lisa C. Ikemoto

UC Law Journal

This article takes the ongoing debate about whether and how procreative technologies should be regulated, and goes beneath it. Starting with the characterization of procreative technology as infertility treatment, this article explores three primary sets of norms constituting that characterization-fertility, technology, and family. The analysis is an attempt to map the interconnecting discourses of fertility, technology, and family, and so, proceeds in a non-linear manner.

Professor Ikemoto begins by exploring the edges of public discussion about acceptable procreative technology uses. That is, she first questions public responses to uses that have provoked controversy, from the first 'test-tube baby' to the …

Daddy Plants A Seed: Personhood Under Patriarchy, Barbara Katz Rothman

UC Law Journal

In her essay, Professor Rothman challenges the ability of the legal structure to address adequately the problems created by the new reproductive technologies. She argues that conceiving of such issues in terms of rights or individual liberties denies our interconnectedness.

Rothman fears the new technologies promote patriarchy by emphasizing the genetic tie over the nurturance, the connection people experience during gestation. Patriarchal social theories operate on the premise that people spring forth out of nowhere, self-interested and ready to form social contracts. Such theories deemphasize the connection with which humans enter the world-after nine months cradled in their mothers' wombs-and …

Approaches To Understanding Oriental Carpets, Carol Bier

Textile Research Works

ORIENTAL CARPETS reached a peak in production in the late nineteenth century, when a boom in market demand in Europe and America encouraged increased *24 production in Turkey, Iran and the Caucasus.* Areas east of the Mediterranean Sea at that time were referred to as. the Orient (in contrast to the Occident, which referred to Europe). To study the origins of these carpets and their ancestral heritage is to embark on a journey to Central Asia and the Middle East, to regions of low rainfall and many sheep, to inhospitable lands where animal husbandry and the seeking of good pastures …

Seasonal Influences On Freshwater Fisheries Sampling Data, Kevin L. Pope, David W. Willis

Nebraska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit: Staff Publications

Fisheries managers often assess fish populations using catch per unit effort (CPUE), size and age structure, growth, and condition. For many freshwater fishes and common sampling gears, CPUE, size and age structure, and condition are highest in the spring and fall, while growth commonly is fastest during the summer growing season. However, there are exceptions to these general trends, especially in populations with erratic recruitment, growth, or mortality. At the least, CPUE, size and age structure, growth, and condition of fish should be expected to change with season, given the effects of variable recruitment, growth, and mortality. However, if recruitment, …

Through essays, articles, and creative works, it reflects on how communities negotiate modernization while striving to protect place-based traditions, small-town character, and regional memory.

Mitochondrial D-Ioop Pcr-Rflp's Detect High Variability In A Paddlefish (Polyodon Spathula) Population, Ronald L. Bromley

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Staff Research Publications

The paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) is an evolutionarily ancient, long-lived, highly migratory, cartilaginous fish native to the Missouri, Mississippi and several Gulf Coast drainages (Gengerke, 1986; Russell, 1986). Paddlefish populations have declined along with a concomitant reduction in their range partly due to impoundments, channel alterations and overharvesting. To address some of the problems that arise when restoration of a species such as paddlefish is undertaken, genetic analysis becomes necessary. To ensure that stocking programs are maximized, inbred and conversely, genetically unique fish populations must be identified. Previous genetic analysis was either biochemically performed or at the DNA-level. Livers were removed …

A New Species Of The Genus Rhogeessa, With Comments On Geographic Distribution And Speciation In The Genus, Hugh H. Genoways, Robert J. Baker

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

A new species of Rhogeessa is described from southern Suriname. The new species is characterized by a karyotype that possesses a diploid number of 52 and a fundamental number of 52 and by its relatively large overall size compared to other South American Rhogeessa. Tenspecies are now recognized within the genus. Seven of these species, including the one described herein, are members of R. tumida complex. Two of these species--R. io and R. minutilla--also occur in South America and the remaining four species are confined to Mexico and Central America.

Re-Evaluation Of Mazamastrongylus Dagestanica (Trichostrongylidae) With Descriptions Of The Synlophe, Genital Cone, And Other Structural Characters, Eric P. Hoberg, A. V. Khrustalev

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

The synlophe of specimens of Mazamastrongylus dagestanica was characterized laterally and ventrally by a strongly tapering system of ridges in the cervical zone. This pattern, including the prominent system of "hood" ridges adjacent to the excretory pore and the absence of continuous subdorsal and subventral ridges is considered typical for the genus Mazamastrongylus. The synlophe of males and females was largely identical, with 37-41 ridges at the midbody. The lateral synlophe, where 2 pairs of ridges converge and terminate on the lateralmost ridge anterior to the cervical papillae appears unique for M. dagestanica and indicates that species-specific patterns may be …

Syncretic Cloth, Yh:Gins And Colonization In The Peruvian Andes, Karen Michelsen

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

The current cult of the Andean Virgin of Snow, patron of seamstresses in Cuzco, is a paradigm for the syncretic processes that Andean religious rituals have undergone. The exploration of how this Virgin became associated with textile production mirrors a parallel process whereby an Andean understanding of cloth intermingles with Catholic religious practice.

The Virgin of Snow appears in western history in the fifth century a.D., when in 435 Sixtus III consecrated the church of St. Mary Major under the title of the Virgin Mary. This church was named St. Mary ad Nives, or at the Snow, after a purportedly …

White Robes For Worship: The Umnazaretha Of The Nazareth Baptist Church In South Africa, Karen H. Brown

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

South-eastern Africa was a major locus of Christian missionary activity during the 19th and early 20th century and some dozen or more denominations took to the mission field among the Zulus.¹ A Zulu man, Isaiah Shembe (c. 1879-1935) was one of many attracted to the Christian faith. His independent and questioning nature, however, did not allow him to fit into the structure of the white-led missions. Shembe founded his own church, the Nazareth Baptist Church (lbandla lamaNazaretha), around 1910. Its beliefs and practices are based on a unique synthesis of Christian, largely Old Testament, dogma and Zulu …

Development Of House Flies (Diptera: Muscidae) In Sand Containing Varying Amounts Of Manure Solids And Moisture, Jerome Hogsette

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

House flies, Musca domestica L., developed in 200 cm³ of coarse sand containing just 1 ml (0.47%) of dairy manure solids and 10 ml (4.74%) of moisture. At these levels, development was slow (21.5 d from 1st instar to adult), adult survival was low (7.5%), but successful development did occur. At higher manure and moisture levels, rates of development and survival were similar to those reported previously. All soil samples collected from a feedlot dairy contained higher levels of manure solids than the highest level tested in the laboratory. The implications for fly control in soil/manure mixtures and the …

An Ecological Risk Assessment Of Lead Shot Exposure In Non-Waterfowl Avian Species: Upland Game Birds And Raptors, Ronald J. Kendall, Thomas E. Lacher Jr., Christine Bunck, Bernard Daniel, Crystal Driver, Christian E. Grue, Frederick Leighton, William Stansley, Philip G. Watanabe, Molly Whitworth

United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications

There is increasing concern that birds in terrestrial ecosystems may be exposed to spent lead shot. Evidence exists that upland birds, particularly mourning doves (Zenaida macroura), ingest spent lead shot and that raptors ingest lead shot by consuming wounded game. Mortality, neurological dysfunction, immune suppression, and reproductive impairment are documented effects of exposure to lead in birds. An ecological risk assessment on the impact of lead shot exposure in upland birds was conducted and is presented in the context of the new United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Ecological Risk Assessment Paradigm. A considerable amount of spent lead shot …
