P53 And Pcna Expression In Benign, Atypical And Malignant Meningiomas, R Ahmed, I N. Soomro, S A. Aziz, S H. Hasan

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

Objective: Alterations: p53 genes are turning out to be the most common genetic alterations in human cancers. Due to long half-life of mutated p53, its detection is possible by immunohistochemistry. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is expressed by dividing cells, hence has been shown to correlate with prognosis. We have used monoclonal antibodies protein DO-7 (p53) and PC10 (PCNA) to see whether their expression correlates with histological grading in meningethelial tumour.
Material and Methods: a Twenty nine meningiomas (20 benign, 7 atypical and 2 malignant) were selected from the records of our laboratory. p53 and PCNA expression was sought by …

Community Service Programs In High Schools, Sally A. Raskoff, Richard A. Sundeen

Law and Contemporary Problems

Raskoff and Sundeen examine youth socialization and civic participation through community service among high school students, with special focus on California. The look at high school community service programs --their practices, their collaborative relations with community organizations for which the students volunteer, and the perspectives of students regarding their participation in these school-sponsored programs.

The Constitutionality Of Mandatory Public School Community Service Programs, Rodney A. Smolla

Law and Contemporary Problems

Constitutional challenges to community service programs may be divided into two generic types--those raised by students or parents who object to the requirement of community service, and those raised by students, parents, organizations, or agencies who object to the selection criteria used to include or exclude organizations or agencies eligible to participate in community service programs.

The Effects Of Volunteering On The Volunteer, John Wilson, Marc Musick

Law and Contemporary Problems

Wilson and Musick review some of the research on the supposed benefits of volunteering and describe briefly some of the results of their own work in this area. There is little doubt that there are individual benefits to be derived from doing volunteer work that reach far beyond the volunteer act itself and may linger long after the volunteer role is relinquished.

Citizen Soldiers: The North Carolina Volunteers And The War On Poverty, Robert R. Korstad, James L. Leloudis

Law and Contemporary Problems

During the summers of 1964 and 1965, more than 300 college students fanned out across the state of North Carolina in a bold campaign to defeat poverty and, as they saw it, to uplift the poor. Korstad and Leloudis trace the history of the North Carolina Fund's Volunteers program, provide an analysis of the contribution that those students made to fighting poverty in the state, and evaluate the impact of that experience on the lives of the Volunteers themselves.

Lymphotropic Virions Affect Chemokine Receptor-Mediated Neural Signaling And Apoptosis: Implications For Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1-Associated Dementia, Jialin Zheng, Anuja Ghorpade, Douglas Niemann, Robin L. Cotter, Michael R. Thylin, Leon Epstein, Jennifer Swartz, Robin B. Shepard, Xiaojuan Liu, Adeline Nukuna, Howard E. Gendelman

Nebraska Center for Virology: Faculty Publications

Chemokine receptors pivotal for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in lymphocytes and macrophages (CCR3, CCR5, and CXCR4) are expressed on neural cells (microglia, astrocytes, and/or neurons). It is these cells which are damaged during progressive HIV-1 infection of the central nervous system. We theorize that viral coreceptors could effect neural cell damage during HIV-1-associated dementia (HAD) without simultaneously affecting viral replication. To these ends, we studied the ability of diverse viral strains to affect intracellular signaling and apoptosis of neurons, astrocytes, and monocyte-derived macrophages. Inhibition of cyclic AMP, activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, and apoptosis were induced by diverse …

When Different Means The Same: Applying A Different Standard Of Proof To White Plaintiffs Under The Mcdonnell Douglas Prima Facie Case Test, Angela Onwuachi-Willig

Faculty Scholarship

The idea that Whites, in particular white males, are the new victims of discrimination is steadily gaining acceptance among white Americans. While only 16 percent of white individuals claim to know someone who has been the victim of reverse discrimination, more than 70 percent of Whites are convinced that reverse discrimination is a rampant problem. Additionally, although reverse discrimination cases generally constitute a small percentage of filed discrimination cases, usually about 1 to 3 percent, that number is beginning to grow. In particular, the percentage of reverse discrimination claims brought by federal workers, the very workers for whom affirmative action …

Understanding Hearts—Elizabeth Seton And Louise De Marillac, Betty Ann Mcneil D.C.

Vincentian Studies

The similarities in the lives, spirituality, and mission of Elizabeth Seton and Louise de Marillac are examined. Both lost their mothers early in life, and both were wives, mothers, and widows. They had nursed terminally ill husbands and were single parents before they founded their communities. These life experiences had a significant impact on their service. Similar experiences led to their personal conversion. Elizabeth’s knowledge of Louise and the influence of the Rules and vows of the Daughters of Charity on the Sisters of Charity are described. The mission of both communities and the virtues that the foundresses instilled in …

The Best And The Brightest?: Canadian Law School Admissions, Dawna Tong, W. Wesley Pue

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

This article assesses the admissions policies commonly employed by law faculties in common law Canada. These faculties rely heavily on admissions criteria and policies developed in the United States and, like their American counterparts, typically admit students on the basis of "index scores" produced by combining Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) performance with Undergraduate Grade Point Average (UGPA). The appropriateness of this American model to the Canadian context has never been rigorously assessed. This raises serious questions as to whether Canadian law school admissions policies serve either of their stated goals of finding the "best" students or of advancing social …

Class War: Ontario Teachers And The Courts, Harry J. Glasbeek

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

In 1997, the government of Ontario met with unexpected opposition to its changes to the education system with the introduction of Bill 160, the Education Quality Improvement Act, culminating in a province-wide strike by teachers. In reaction, the government sought to divert the conflict into the courts. Although the teachers were initially successful in court, the strike was not, and many of the strikers' objectives were not met. The author argues that the law of injunctions and collective bargaining shifted and narrowed the scope of the conflict, and reduced the political power of the teachers. The litigation surrounding Bill 160 …

Genetic Privacy: There Ought To Be A Law, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

If you don't believe in privacy, you probably don't believe in genetic privacy. I believe in privacy, including the constitutional right of privacy. But my interest is not to persuade you to believe in privacy, but rather to expose the major issues involved in genetic privacy. What makes genetic information different from other sensitive medical information? Are we getting carried away? Are we just treating DNA-based information differently because it is new?

Pierre Coste And Catherine Labouré: The Conflict Of Historical Criticism And Popular Devotion, Stafford Poole C.M.

Vincentian Studies

Pierre Coste’s analysis of Catherine Labouré and her visions serves as a case study in “the tension that can exist between the demands of a dispassionate historical criticism and those of popular devotion.” He did not believe in the visions and tried to prevent Catherine’s beatification. Publication of his research would not have been permitted, so he held one view publicly and another privately. Stafford Poole’s study uses two versions of Coste’s treatise, giving the publications and testimonies of the visions in chronological order and following each with Coste’s criticism. Among other things, he was troubled by the fact that …

Lincoln Avenue Neighborhood Business District Parking Study, Benjamin Corrales

Master's Projects

Parking studies are used to evaluate the current supply of parking or to plan for future parking needs. Some parking studies deal with the adequacy of parking for a particular need; others are designed to evaluate parking conditions in a specific area; and some others studies are designed to evaluate residential parking impacted by encroachment from outside parkers.

Independently of the reason may be to originate a parking study, it is necessary to define the area that will be affected by the analysis.

In this particular case the parking study is concentrated on Lincoln Avenue Neighborhood Business District, formerly known …

Gathering Food And Nutrition Information From Migrant Farmworker Children Through In-Depth Interviews, Amy Fishman, Karl Pearson, Marla Reicks

Journal of Extension

As educators target the growing population of children of migrant farmworkers with nutrition education programs, information about educational needs related to nutrition and food safety knowledge and food purchasing and preparation responsibilities is needed. Individual interviews were conducted with 22 children (9-12 years old) in migrant work camps. Most children were significantly involved in food preparation activities, but to a limited extent in food purchasing activities. Most had learned food preparation skills at home, but did not verbalize preparing or planning meals based on knowledge of nutrition or food safety.
