ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

The collapse of the Soviet Union has resulted in far-reaching changes in the global environment. One of the immediate effects of the demise of what Ronald Reagan dubbed the Evil Empire was the need to find useful work for the army of FBI agents who formerly were assigned to counter-intelligence.

The Right To Die With Dignity With The Assistance Of A Physician: An Anglo, American And Australian International Perspective, Elizabeth Woods

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Individuals should have the right to end their life with dignity at the time of their own choosing, but this right must be carefully balanced with the idea of a right to life. Thus, seeking a balance between the two rights is the crux of the problem and the corresponding solution.

The European Monetary Union And Its Impact On Medium And Long-Term Trade Agreements, Mel Marquis

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

When business parties enter into binding agreements, it is in their interest not merely to consider the immediate dynamics of the exchange, but to anticipate the ways in which a changing world might affect their obligations.

With Law In Their Minds: Some Reflections On The Nature Of Public International Law At The Light Of Current Political Science Theory, Carlos Fernando Diaz

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

The conclusion I came to during my time in the Foreign Office was that the old international order was neither a natural phenomenon to which humanity had simply adjusted its behaviour nor a fortuitous aggregation of countless past events of human interaction.

The Archaic Period In East Texas And Surrounding Areas, Timothy K. Perttula

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

It is a tradition of the East Texas Archeological Conference to focus the afternoon portion of the meeting on a particular archeological theme or topic, and ask archaeologists active in the field to come talk at the Conference on these specific themes or topics and then participate in a panel discussion. We have done that with panels on site protection efforts in 1993, the origins of mound-building in the Caddoan area in 1994, the Paleoindian archaeological record in 1995, and the Caddoan people and missions in 1996.

Archaeological Monitoring Of The Heb-Gsa Parking Lot: Impacts To The San Pedro Acequia, I. Waynne Cox, Brett A. Houk

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

In October, 1997, the Center for Archaeological Research of The Univeristy of Texas at San Antonio monitored parking lot construction activities at the Federal Center (4IBX622), part of the old United States Arsenal, in downtown San Antonio, Texas. The new parking lot, being constructed by H. E. Butt Grocery Company on land leased from the General Services Adminstration, will impact a section of the San Pedro Acequia which runs beneath an existing parking lot in the same location. The monitoring of these activities documented two sections of the acequia and corrected previous projections of the acequia's route. It is CAR's …

Unwelcome Heroines : Mao Dun And Yu Dafu's Creations Of A New Chinese Woman, Li Chun, Sylvia Lin

Journal of Modern Literature in Chinese 現代中文文學學報

In this essay, I examine fictional works by two of the most influential and progressive male writers of the period—Mao Dun and Yu Dafu - to explore issues concerning the emergence of the new Chinese woman. My study will focus on Mao Dun’s story, “Chuangzao” [Creation], published in 1928, and Yu Dafu’s short novel, Ta shi yi ge ruo nuzi [She is a weak woman], written in 1932. I look at these writers’ depictions of two different types of woman and contemporary Chinese men’s reactions to a new gender relation. Male intellectuals, while heralding the advance of a new Chinese …

Perjury is the most hotly debated topic in America today.

Process-Specific Cues For Recruitment In Sedimentary Environments: Geochemical Signals?, Sarah A. Woodin, Roberta L. Marinelli, Sara M. Lindsay

Journal of Marine Research

The most biologically and geochemically active marine sediments are characterized by steep chemical gradients within the top centimeters of sediment (Berner, 1980). A common feature of these environments is disruptions of surface sediments by both physical and biotic forces. Growth and mortality rates for new recruits are affected by many of these surface perturbations. At the same time, these disturbances also impose a discontinuity in concentration across the sediment-water interface, and accordingly, a change in surface chemistry. In this paper we present evidence that the cue used by juveniles to distinguish between recently disturbed and undisturbed surfaces may be disruption …

Medical Records On-Line: What Happened To Privacy? A Legal Analysis, Marcia Weiss

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

The computerization of health information and medical records, including sensitive personal information that potentially reveals intimate details of one's life, habits, or genetic predisposition, is a mixed blessing. While offering a means of streamlining and improving the health care delivery system through speed and immense storage capacity, computerized medical information also presents new challenges as it impacts our right of privacy and expectation of confidentiality, creating serious ethical and legal issues. Non-uniform, patchwork statutory guidelines among the states have led to uncertainty and confusion surrounding disclosure, accessibility, and storage of medical data. This paper examines the legal ramifications surrounding issues …

Rethinking Clientelism: Demands, Discourses And Practices In Contemporary Brazil, Robert Gay

Sociology Faculty Publications

It has been more than a decade since the Brazilian military relinquished its hold on the electoral process. Effective democratic governance has yet to be established, however. Traditional elites still dominate the scene, political parties remain weak, fragmented and unstable, and public administrations continue to pay lip-service to demands for citizens' rights. The source of these various problems of democratic governance is, by all accounts, the widespread practice of exchanging votes for favours, otherwise known as clientelism. In this essay, I argue that clientelism is an essential and endearing feature of the Brazilian political landscape. I also argue, however, that …

Urine Specimens From Pregnant And Nonpregnant Women Inhibitory To Amplification Of Chlamydia Trachomatis Nucleic Acid By Pcr, Ligase Chain Reaction, And Transcription-Mediated Amplification: Identification Of Urinary Substances Associated With Inhibition And Removal Of Inhibitory Activity, James Mahoney, Sylvia Chong, Dan Jang, Kathy Luinstra, M. Faught, Dawn M. Guthrie, John W. Sellors, Max A. Chernesky

Health Sciences Faculty Publications

The presence of endogenous amplification inhibitors in urine may produce false-negative results for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis nucleic acids by tests such as PCR, ligase chain reaction (LCR), and transcription-mediated amplification (TMA). Consecutive urine specimens from 101 pregnant women and 287 nonpregnant women submitted for urinalysis were processed for C. trachomatis detection. Aliquots were spiked with the equivalent of one C. trachomatis elementary body and were tested by three commercial assays: AMPLICOR CT/NG, Chlamydia LCX, and Chlamydia TMA. The prevalence of inhibitors resulting in complete inhibition of amplification was 4.9% for PCR, 2.6% for LCR, and 7.5% for TMA. …
