Battle At The Bridge: Using Participatory Approaches To Develop Community Researchers In Ecological Management, Jonathan Long, Delbin Endfield, Candy Lupe, Mae Burnette Jan 2004

Battle At The Bridge: Using Participatory Approaches To Develop Community Researchers In Ecological Management, Jonathan Long, Delbin Endfield, Candy Lupe, Mae Burnette

Natural Resources and Environmental Issues

Land-based communities need problem solvers who can address ecological degradation by bridging gaps between community and outside knowledge systems. Through our experience working for the Watershed Program of the White Mountain Apache Tribe, we have wrestled with the challenge of making ecological research more useful to tribal communities, particularly those that have become highly skeptical of conventional research. Simply importing or exporting knowledge does little to solve long-term ecological problems, which instead require an active dialogue between community and outside knowledge systems to help local institutions evolve with environmental changes. To fulfill these roles, individual need skills in listening, speaking …

Ideologización Del Espacio En Doña Perfecta Y Aves Sin Nido: La Oposición Campo-Ciudad, Raúl Álvarez Jan 2004

Ideologización Del Espacio En Doña Perfecta Y Aves Sin Nido: La Oposición Campo-Ciudad, Raúl Álvarez

Decimonónica

La evolución de la ideología liberal burguesa durante el siglo XIX trajo como consecuencia la necesidad de superar la idea de nación del antiguo régimen, para construir un concepto nuevo de nacionalidad más afín con la incipiente economía capitalista. En esta dirección y dentro de una concepción transatlántica, creo que resultaría de especial interés ver cómo tiene lugar el proceso en dos obras, Doña Perfecta (1876) de Benito Pérez Galdós y Aves sin nido (1889) de Clorinda Matto de Turner, que con sus semejanzas, muestran las líneas directrices del fenómeno en un contexto hispánico y en ambas orillas del Atlántico. …

Decimonónica

En El Regenerador Nº 12, se encuentra el ensayo: “Colegio, cuartel y convento. La Nueva Granada a un colegio, Venezuela a un cuartel, el Ecuador a un convento” del notable polemista y pensador ecuatoriano Juan Montalvo, publicado en 1878. En él se observa a un avezado escritor, experto en el manejo de la escritura; arte a través del que modela la realidad de los tres países para mostrarse como defensor del Ecuador. No en vano, Montalvo era reconocido como autor de numerosos artículos, cartas y panfletos diseminados en periódicos o difundidos personalmente por él, bien en forma impresa o en …

Sexual Ethics Training In Seminary: Preparing Students To Manage Feelings Of Sexual Attraction, Katheryn Rhoads Meek, Mark R. Mcminn, Todd Burnett, Chris Mazzarella, Vitaliy L. Voytenko Jan 2004

Sexual Ethics Training In Seminary: Preparing Students To Manage Feelings Of Sexual Attraction, Katheryn Rhoads Meek, Mark R. Mcminn, Todd Burnett, Chris Mazzarella, Vitaliy L. Voytenko

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Sexual boundary violations by clergy have received heightened media attention in recent years with far reaching implications for the long-term well-being of the Church as an institution. While much has been written about the causes and implications of sexual misconduct by clergy, very little research has addressed preventative efforts. Prevention begins in graduate school or seminary. How do seminary alumni perceive the quality of their training in the areas of understanding and maintaining sexual health as well as in managing feelings of sexual attraction in professional contexts? In this survey, 585 alumni from 5 evangelical seminaries answered questions related to …

The Moo As An Arcade: Minimalism And Interpretive Literary Games, Steven E. Jones, Neil Fraistat Jan 2004

The Moo As An Arcade: Minimalism And Interpretive Literary Games, Steven E. Jones, Neil Fraistat

English Faculty Publications

Classic arcade videogames are engaging and immersive for counter-intuitive reasons, precisely because they are schematic and iconic, because they require a collaborative act of imagination on the part of the player, and because playing them is about being part of a shared arcade-based culture. As we have found in our own experiments in the Romantic Circles MOO, graphic minimalism forces us to maintain gameplay in a wider contextual setting. It’s not just retro fashion that gives these games their continued appeal; it’s that we are called on to make something of what is only sketchily suggested, and optimally we do …

Collateral Damage: The Endangered Center In American Politics, Samuel Issacharoff

Faculty Articles

Proves the assertion that the animating force behind the stunning electoral victory of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the election was the rebellion of the median voter, the center of American politics, against the perceived closing-off of the political process to competitive pressures. Troubling and complicated role of the plebiscite in a representative democracy; Assertion that the move toward plebicitary democracy is tied into the increased non-responsiveness of the political process; Role that constitutional law has played in furthering the decrease in competition in the political process and the consequence from this reduction in competitiveness.

Catastrophic Financial Failures: Enron And More, Geoffrey P. Miller Jan 2004

Catastrophic Financial Failures: Enron And More, Geoffrey P. Miller

Faculty Articles

One can only try to understand how the catastrophes happened in the hope of avoiding them in the future. This Article looks across these six cases-WorldCom, Enron, Lincoln Savings, HIH, EIEI, and BCCI-and attempts to identify common threads that might help prevent similar disasters in the future. Each of these six events was a complex phenomenon with its own etiology, development, and resolution. Discussing any one of them in detail, much less comparing all six, is beyond the scope of this Article, which hopes only to touch upon some of the apparent common features that, upon further inquiry, might yield …

Using Microscopy To Examine Mechanisms Of Cell Division, Lily Copenagle Jan 2004

Using Microscopy To Examine Mechanisms Of Cell Division, Lily Copenagle

Student Theses and Dissertations

The accurate segregation of chromosomes during cell division requires the assembly of a microtubule-based mitotic spindle. In the research presented here, I examined two aspects of mitotic spindle morphogenesis. First, I looked at how chromosomes attach to microtubules in mitosis. The capture of microtubule plus-ends by kinetochores (the site of chromosome-microtubule attachment) has been described previously. However, recent data suggests that another mechanism must also contribute to this essential process. Here, with the aid of real-time confocal microscopy, I present direct evidence for an additional chromosome-spindle attachment mechanism in which the minus-ends of microtubules attached to chromosomes are captured by …

Attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium Can Be Used To Transduce Human Dendritic Cells Towards Vaccination Against Hiv-1, Deborah Gurner Jan 2004

Attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium Can Be Used To Transduce Human Dendritic Cells Towards Vaccination Against Hiv-1, Deborah Gurner

Student Theses and Dissertations

The promise of DNA vaccination is limited in part by invasive, untargeted administration. We refined the strategy by incorporating attenuated bacteria to deliver plasmids directly to APCs. Initial studies involved human macrophages, which were infected with aroASalmonella typhimurium transformed with eukaryotic vectors encoding 8-galactosidase. Results of staining with x-gal demonstrated effective transfer of plasmids to the target cells, which expressed the reporter gene themselves. Similarly, immunocytochemical staining of macrophages infected with bacteria bearing a eukaryotic vector encoding HIV-1 env showed expression of the viral gene. Macrophages were also infected with bacteria harboring vectors encoding SIV env and HIV-1 tat, then …

A Novel Subfamily Of Three Star-Related Lipid Transfer Proteins That Are Differentially-Regulated And Function In Intracellular Cholesterol Metabolism, Raymond E. Soccio Jan 2004

A Novel Subfamily Of Three Star-Related Lipid Transfer Proteins That Are Differentially-Regulated And Function In Intracellular Cholesterol Metabolism, Raymond E. Soccio

Student Theses and Dissertations

This thesis describes the discovery, cloning, and initial characterization of StarD4, sterol-regulated gene encoding a StAR-related lipid transfer (START) protein, and its close homologues, StarD5 and StarD6. StarD4 was identified using cDNA microarrays, as liver StarD4 expression decreased three-fold in mice fed a high cholesterol diet. StarD4 also sterol-regulated in cultured cells, and a functional sterol regulatory element (SRE) identified in its promoter. StarD4 was preferentially activated in mouse liver by SREBP-rather than SREBP-1, supporting a role in cholesterol rather than fatty acid metabolism. X-ray crystal structure of StarD4 was solved, revealing a hydrophobic lipid binding cavity described for other …

Molecular Basis Of Vertebrate Embryonic Migration, Paris A. Skourides Jan 2004

Molecular Basis Of Vertebrate Embryonic Migration, Paris A. Skourides

Student Theses and Dissertations

Embryology aims at understanding how a single fertilized cell develops into a complex multicellular organism. Initially the embryo is no more than a ball of cells where the three primordial layers, the ectoderm, mesoderm and the endoderm are one on top of the other. The three germ layers will go on to form all the tissues and organs of the embryo. For example, the ectoderm will give rise to epidermis and the nervous system; the mesoderm to muscles, the skeletal system, the dermis or inner layer of the skin, the circulatory, excretory, and reproductive systems; and, finally, the endoderm will …
