Boys Will Be Boys: Peer Sexual Harassment In Schools And The Implications Of Davis V. Monroe County Board Of Education, Tianna Mcclure Jan 2001

Boys Will Be Boys: Peer Sexual Harassment In Schools And The Implications Of Davis V. Monroe County Board Of Education, Tianna Mcclure

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

The recent Supreme Court decision finding that the failure of schools to address and remedy peer sexual harassment in Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education, appears to be a victory for students and feminists alike. However, the Davis decision does not go far enough to insure the emotional and physical well-being of America's school children. While as a result of this decision schools must begin to recognize the true nature and severity of peer sexual harassment or face the possibility of monetary damages, Davis is, nevertheless, flawed. The Supreme Court operates under the assumption that actual knowledge is the …

In The Best Interests Of The Child: An Analysis Of Wisconsin Supreme Court Rulings Involving Same-Sex Couples With Children, Amy Persin Linnert Jan 2001

In The Best Interests Of The Child: An Analysis Of Wisconsin Supreme Court Rulings Involving Same-Sex Couples With Children, Amy Persin Linnert

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

The children of same-sex couples are often the unintended victims of legal discrimination against homosexuals. This note examines the Wisconsin Supreme Court's approach to the issues of adoption, custody and visitation involving the children of same-sex couples. Wisconsin was chosen as the focus of this note because it is widely recognized as a legally progressive state and is one of the few states that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. This note urges the Wisconsin courts and legislature to reexamine the issue of same-sex marriage as a means of protecting the best interests of the children of same-sex …

A Cultural Rite Of Passage Or A Form Of Torture: Female Genital Mutilation From An International Law Perspective, Alexi Nicole Wood Jan 2001

A Cultural Rite Of Passage Or A Form Of Torture: Female Genital Mutilation From An International Law Perspective, Alexi Nicole Wood

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

Female genital mutilation (FGM) has been performed on approximately 135 million girls and women worldwide. It is estimated that two million girls and women undergo FGM each year approximately 6,000 a day. Often the procedure is performed clandestinely by local, unskilled practitioners in unsafe conditions. As many as fifteen to thirty percent of all girls and women who undergo FGM die as a result of bleeding or infection. In addition to short-term complications such as extreme pain, shock and hemorrhaging, FGM can cause severe long-term complications that can include sterility due to infection, complications during childbirth, as well as extreme …

Family Development Deductions - An Alternative To Repealing The Estate Tax, Richard J. Kovach Jan 2001

Family Development Deductions - An Alternative To Repealing The Estate Tax, Richard J. Kovach

University of Richmond Law Review

Opposing political and social interests have long conducted a vigorous debate on whether gratuitous transfers of wealth should invoke federal excise taxes. Attempts to eliminate wealth transfer taxes reached a peak in the summer of 2000, when the Senate passed repeal legislation overwhelmingly approved by the House of Representatives. Those supporting repeal point out that wealth transfer taxation discourages work and savings while encouraging consumption. They further assert that transfer taxation revenue does not constitute a very significant portion of total federal revenue. The supporters of repeal also emphasize how the complexity of these taxes has created a parasitic service …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Revised Article 9: A Primer For The General Practitioner, David Frisch Jan 2001

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Revised Article 9: A Primer For The General Practitioner, David Frisch

University of Richmond Law Review

These are exciting times for commercial lawyers. Over the past fifteen years, the sponsoring organizations of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC or the Code), the American Law Institute (ALI) and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL), have been hard at work to keep the UCC responsive to contemporary needs. Aside from periodic adjustments to existing UCC articles that reflect societal changes, two new articles have been added to cover commercial activity previously governed by the common law of contract. In 1998, the ALI and NCCUSL gave their approval to the final text of the newest version …

Microvillar Disruption And F -Actin Sequestration In Anoxic Proximal Tubular Cells, Peter A. White Jan 2001

Microvillar Disruption And F -Actin Sequestration In Anoxic Proximal Tubular Cells, Peter A. White

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Ischemic or anoxic ATP depletion is the primary cause of acute renal failure (ARF) and is estimated to occur in 5% of all hospitalized patients. ATP depletion results in the rapid disruption of the actin cytoskeleton in renal proximal tubule (PT) cells. The disruption of the actin cytoskeleton initiates a cascade of structural and functional alterations in anoxic PT, including microvilli retraction, loss of membrane polarity, membrane bleb formation, and the detachment of PT cells into the urinary lumen. These alterations progress in a duration-dependent manner and are reversible during the recovery phase. Understanding of the cellular mechanisms that mediate …

Comparison Of Genomic And Predicted Amino Acid Sequences Of Respiratory And Enteric Bovine Coronaviruses Isolated From The Same Animal With Fatal Shipping Pneumonia, V. N. Chouljenko, X. Q. Lin, J. Storz, K. G. Kousoulas, A. E. Gorbalenya Jan 2001

Comparison Of Genomic And Predicted Amino Acid Sequences Of Respiratory And Enteric Bovine Coronaviruses Isolated From The Same Animal With Fatal Shipping Pneumonia, V. N. Chouljenko, X. Q. Lin, J. Storz, K. G. Kousoulas, A. E. Gorbalenya

Faculty Publications

The complete genome sequences are reported here of two field isolates of bovine coronavirus (BCoV), which were isolated from respiratory and intestinal samples of the same animal experiencing fatal pneumonia during a bovine shipping fever epizootic. Both genomes contained 31028 nucleotides and included 13 open reading frames (ORFs) flanked by 5′- and 3′-untranslated regions (UTRs). ORF1a and ORF1b encode replicative polyproteins pp1a and pp1ab, respectively, that contain all of the putative functional domains documented previously for the closest relative, mouse hepatitis virus. The genomes of the BCoV isolates differed in 107 positions, scattered throughout the genome except the 5′-UTR. Differences …

Faculty Publications

We have analyzed 35 widely distributed, polymorphic Alu loci in 715 individuals from 31 world populations. The average frequency of Alu insertions (the derived state) is lowest in Africa (.42) but is higher and similar in India (.55), Europe (.56), and Asia (.57). A comparison with 30 restriction-site polymorphisms (RSPs) for which the ancestral state has been determined shows that the frequency of derived RSP alleles is also lower in Africa (.35) than it is in Asia (.45) and in Europe (.46). Neighbor-joining networks based on Alu insertions or RSPs are rooted in Africa and show African populations as separate …

Rickettsia Felis: Molecular Characterization Of A New Member Of The Spotted Fever Group, D. H. Bouyer, J. Stenos, P. Crocquet-Valdes, C. G. Moron, V. L. Popov, J. E. Zavala-Velazquez, L. D. Foil, D. R. Stothard, A. F. Azad, D. H. Walker

Faculty Publications

In this report, placement of Rickettsia felis in the spotted fever group (SFG) rather than the typhus group (TG) of Rickettsia is proposed. The organism, which was first observed in cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) by electron microscopy, has not yet been reported to have been cultivated reproducibly, thereby limiting the standard rickettsial typing by serological means. To overcome this challenge, several genes were selected as targets to be utilized for the classification of R. felis. DNA from cat fleas naturally infected with R. felis was amplified by PCR utilizing primer sets specific for the 190 kDa surface antigen (rOmpA) and …

Identity Crisis: "Intersectionality," "Multidimensionality," And The Development Of An Adequate Theory Of Subordination, Darren Lenard Hutchinson Jan 2001

Identity Crisis: "Intersectionality," "Multidimensionality," And The Development Of An Adequate Theory Of Subordination, Darren Lenard Hutchinson

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

This Article arises out of the intersectionality and post-intersectionality literature and makes a case against the essentialist considerations that informed the Human Rights Campaign's endorsement of United States Senator Alfonse D'Amato. Part I discusses the pitfalls that occur when scholars and activists engage in essentialist politics and treat identities and forms of subordination as conflicting forces. Part II examines how essentialism negatively affects legal theory in the equality context. Part III considers the historical motivation for and the efficacy of the "intersectionality" response to the problem of essentialism. Part III also extensively analyzes the "multidimensional" critiques of essentialism offered by …

The Tension Between The Need And Exploitation Of Migrant Workers: Using Msawpa's Legislative Intent To Find A Balanced Remedy, Mark J. Russo Jan 2001

The Tension Between The Need And Exploitation Of Migrant Workers: Using Msawpa's Legislative Intent To Find A Balanced Remedy, Mark J. Russo

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

This Comment concludes that the recent Maine federal district cases represent an irreconcilable spike in a national and international trend to afford more protection to a vulnerable class whose resources are the object of urgent demand. However, the search for a proper remedial weight in the balance between migrant worker protection and the provision of competitive farm labor is not a new problem.

Racial Profiling In Health Care: An Institutional Analysis Of Medical Treatment Disparities, René Bowser Jan 2001

Racial Profiling In Health Care: An Institutional Analysis Of Medical Treatment Disparities, René Bowser

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

This Article links unscientific, race-based medical research to a broader, institutionalized pattern of racial profiling of Blacks in clinical decision-making. Far from providing a solution to the problem of racial health disparities, this Article shows that race-based health research fuels a collection of dubious background assumptions, creates a negative profile of Black patients, and reinforces taken-for-granted knowledge that leads to inferior medical treatment. This form of racial profiling is unjust, and also causes countless unnecessary deaths in the Black population.
