Valorizing Racial Boundaries: Hegemony And Conflict In The Racialization Of Filipino Migrant Labour In The United States, Richard Baldoz

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

This article examines the role of the “racial state” in delimiting the socio-economic mobility of Filipino immigrants in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. I illustrate how racial statecraft was deployed to restrict the access of Filipino immigrants to citizenship, family formation and land ownership through exclusionary racial criteria. I argue that the state instituted ascribed racial categories as the principal means of differentiating the civic status and social resources available to racialized collectivities. Filipino immigrants in the United States offer an interesting case study because of their status as colonial subjects of the United …

Defamation Law And Free Speech: Reynolds V. Times Newspapers And The English Media, Andrew T. Kenyon, David F. Partlett, Clive P. Walker, Russell L. Weaver

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The common law of defamation cut the balance between speech and reputation decisively in favor of reputation and allowed for the imposition of significant damages against media outlets that defamed. For the last four decades, U.S. media outlets have been insulated against the common law rules by the United States Supreme Court's landmark decision in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. Following Sullivan, Commonwealth countries clung steadfastly to common law rules and are only now beginning to modify the common law rules to provide speech and media protections. Rather than following Sullivan by adopting constitutional protections, however, Commonwealth courts have …

Re-Reifying Data, James Gibson

Law Faculty Publications

There's a war on between those who view digital technology as a reason to expand intellectual property law and those who oppose this expansion. One front in the war is technological: the pro-expansionists enclose their products in restrictive code, which the anti-expansionists circumvent and hack. A second is legislative: the pro-expansionists seek extended copyright duration, favorable changes to contract law, and other new legal entitlements, while the anti-expansionists lobby for the opposite. And a third front is a combination of the first two: it is technological. On this battlefield, the pro-expansionists use the law to fortify their technological protections. But …

A Review Of Antennas And Propagation For Mimo Wireless Communications, Michael A. Jensen, Jon W. Wallace

Faculty Publications

Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems use multiple antenna elements at transmit and receive to offer improved capacity over single antenna topologies in multipath channels. In such systems, the antenna properties as well as the multipath channel characteristics play a key role in determining communication performance. This paper reviews recent research findings concerning antennas and propagation in MIMO systems. Issues considered include channel capacity computation, channel measurement and modeling approaches, and the impact of antenna element properties and array configuration on system performance. Throughout the discussion, outstanding research questions in these areas are highlighted.

Role Of Tuberculosis Laboratories In Saudi Arabia. A Call To Implement Standardized Procedures, Sahal A. Al-Hajoj, Fahad A. Alrabiah

Saudi Medical Journal

There is no doubt that the laboratory is the backbone for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). Only through testing in the laboratory can the physician confirm suspicion of TB despite any previous clinical and x-ray findings. Recent visits to several laboratories in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia showed that some need considerable improvement. Unless there are standardized procedures to diagnose TB, and safety measures are implemented in all laboratories, it will be impossible to diagnose accurately and control TB. The laboratories should be redesigned to conform to international TB Diagnostic Centers, with well trained staff and proper safety procedures.

Free Will's A Gamble, Seow Hon Tan

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The debate over whether Singapore should have a casino has turned from the contest between moral values and social repercussions, on the one hand, and economic values on the other, to whether Singaporeans can be trusted to act responsibly. Put another way, the issue now seems to be whether the approach should be paternalistic, with all its connotations of the nanny state protecting the individual from himself.

Sensory Hypoinnervation In Club Foot, M Ahmed, N Ahmed, K. M. Khan, Masood Umer, H. Rashid,, Pervaiz Hashmi

Department of Surgery Docs

Abstract

We have compared the density of nerve fibres in the synovium in club foot with that of specimens obtained from the synovium of the hip at operations for developmental dysplasia. The study focused on the sensory neuropeptides substance P; calcitonin gene-related peptide; protein gene product 9.5, a general marker for mature peripheral nerve fibres; and growth associated protein 43, a neuronal marker for new or regenerating nerve fibres. In order to establish whether there might be any inherent difference we analysed the density of calcitonin gene-related peptide-positive nerve fibres in the hip and ankle joints in young rats. Semi-quantitative …

Memahami "Cultural Studies" Dan Multikulturalisme Dari Perspektif Pascamodern, Akhyar Yusuf Lubis

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Cultural studies is a study of culture, the paradigm of which is quite different from that of the conventional (i.e. modern) studies. If we accept this view, it means that the whole problem of cultural reality, epistemology, and methodology cannot be used to understand and investigate cultural studies and multiculturalism. The infeasibility of using conventional study of culture to apprehend cultural studies and multiculturalism is related with the principle of incommensurability between those two fields, so there are different worldviews and rules (language games) between the two. This difference is vividly showed in character and model of study that conceives …

show that Indonesian and Malaysian literatures grew and developed out of the same old tradition, namely Malay tradition. Indonesian and Malaysian languages are also rooted in the same language, namely, the Malay language. It only makes sense that there a number of similarities This paper discusses the nationalist ideas found in the poems of M. Yamin published in Indonesia Tumpah Darahku and a number of poems produced by 10 Malaysian poets. These Malaysians' poems are found in a poetry anthology titled Puisi-puisi Kebangsaan 1913-1957 (nationalist poems 1913-1957) compiled by Abdul Latif Abu Bakar and published in 1987. Based on a …

In the Decision, the Commission concluded that Microsoft Corporation broke EC competition law by leveraging its near monopoly on the market of PC operating systems onto the markets of work group server operating systems and of media players. The Commission ordered Microsoft to disclose to competitors the interfaces required for their products to be interoperable with Windows. Microsoft is also required to offer to PC manufacturers a version of its Windows without Windows Media Player. Microsoft was fined € 497 million.

Czy Możliwa Jest Demokratyczna Debata O Regulacji Rynku Mediów?, Przemysław Hensel

European Management Studies

The starting point for this text is the assumption that regulation of the mass media sector is a political problem and, therefore, a democratic debate is an indispensable prerequisite for settling it. The analysis of stakeholders' interests in this sector is conducted in order to answer the question formulated in the text's title. Next, two theories (the agenda-setting theory, the framing effect theory) are presented with the intention of explaining how the media outlets influence public debate on mass media sector regulation. Then, strategies of influence most often used on the Polish media market are described. Finally, the consequences of …

Kontrola Koncentracji Mediów W Dobie Digitalizacji. Pomiędzy Regulacją A Konkurencją, Marcin Kolasiński

European Management Studies

The article concerns the problem of the control of media concentration. Due to the specific nature of this form of economic activity, there are various concepts of appropriate law mechanisms to regulate market structure. The main doubts are connected with the fact that the element protected by law in this case is not market competition in the pure economic sense, but, above all, media pluralism. A guarantee of the existence of this value, according to the supporters of detailed sector regulation, requires a definition of the admissible forms of administrative interference into the ownership structures of media entrepreneurs. Opponents of …

The Yeast Rrna Biosynthesis Factor Ebp2p Is Also Required For Efficient Nuclear Division, Costin N. Ionescu, Sofia Origanti, Michael A. Mcalear

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Molecular genetic analysis of the yeast Ebp2 protein has revealed that it is an essential, nucleolar protein that functions in the rRNA biosynthesis pathway. Temperature-sensitive ebp2-1 mutants are defective in the processing of the 27 SA precursor rRNA, and the point substitutions that disrupt this activity cluster towards the central, more highly conserved region of the Ebp2 protein. We report here that other ebp2 mutants exhibit deficiencies associated with defects in chromosome segregation. Yeast cells bearing a 50 amino acid C-terminal truncation allele (ebp2ΔC50) display a slow-growth phenotype and exhibit an increased percentage of cells with …

Gel Shift Analysis Of The Empa Promoter Region In Vibrio Anguillarum, Steven M. Denkin, Pedja Sekaric, David R. Nelson

Cell and Molecular Biology Faculty Publications

Background:

The induction of metalloprotease encoded by empA in Vibrio anguillarum occurs at high cell density in salmon intestinal mucus. Previously we have shown that there are significant differences in empA expression in two strains of V. anguillarum, M93Sm and NB10. It is hypothesized that differences in empA regulation are due to differences in binding of regulatory elements.

Results:

Two strains of V. anguillarum, M93Sm and NB10, were examined and compared for the presence of DNA regulatory proteins that bind to and control the empA promoter region. Gel mobility shift assays, using a digoxigenin (DIG)-labeled oligomer containing a …
