Ethical Dilemmas In Retrospective Studies On Genital Surgery In The Treatment Of Intersexual Infants, Sharon Sytsma

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

Intersexual infants and infants with other genital abnormalities often receive genital surgery for sex assignment or for normalizing purposes. The wisdom and beneficence of these practices have been questioned by intersexual individuals, support groups, some doctors, and the media. Because the practices have been developed without long-term studies to evaluate them, pediatric urologists and parents of such children must face decisions with very little guidance from empirical support. In the face of ignorance about what is really the best medical response to intersexuality or genital abnormalities, some have argued for a moratorium on infant genital surgery until empirical studies are …

Microstructure Studies In Surfacant Systems, Vivek Agarwal

Open Access Dissertations

Microstructures in two mixed surfactants systems that show novel transformations as a function of composition and temperature have been explored. Indirect imaging methods like Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) along with direct imaging methods like Cryogenic Transmission Electron Microscopy (Cryo-TEM) and recently developed Freeze Fracture Direct Imaging (FFDD have been used extensively to characterize and identify the changes in the microstructures in the mixed surfactant systems as a function of composition, temperature and external force fields.

As water is added to a solution of an anionic surfactant, AOT (2 ethylhexyl sodium sulfosuccinate) and a zwitterionic surfactant, lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) in isooctane, …

Réalisations D'Entreprise En Prévention : La Mise Sur Pied D'Un Répertoire, Denise Chicoine, Michèle Gervais, Élise Ledoux

États de la question, rapports d’expertise et revues de littérature

À la suite d'une consultation réalisée par l'IRSST auprès des différents intervenants de son secteur, l'ASP construction a résolu d'entreprendre avec le support de l'IRSST, la création d'un répertoire de réalisations en prévention. Ce répertoire s'inscrit dans la vague d'intérêt que suscitent les banques de solutions à travers le monde. En effet, les banques de solutions sont reconnues comme d'excellents véhicules pour la diffusion des moyens en prévention au travail développés et adoptés par les entreprises.

L'objectif de cette collaboration était d'amorcer la première phase de la mise sur pied d'un répertoire de réalisations dans le secteur construction. L'IRSST a …

Portée Et Limites Des Données De Surveillance De L'Exposition Des Travailleurs Oeuvrant Dans L'Industrie De L'Électrodéposition : Mise À Jour Des Connaissances, Ginette Truchon, Maliheh Vaziri, Pierre Larivière

États de la question, rapports d’expertise et revues de littérature

L’industrie de l’électrodéposition constitue un milieu de travail complexe par la nature des procédés et des produits chimiques utilisés. Dans ce contexte, la surveillance des travailleurs pose des défis aux médecins responsables, notamment en ce qui a trait à l’interprétation des résultats de surveillance biologique puisque aucun indice biologique d'exposition (IBE) n’est documenté présentement dans la littérature pour les principaux métaux retrouvés dans ce type d’industrie, soit le chrome, le nickel et le zinc. Cette activité a pour objectif d’effectuer une mise à jour des connaissances disponibles sur la surveillance de l’exposition à ces métaux (surveillance biologique et surveillance environnementale) …

Dins La Nostra Memòria, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

L'àmbit espacial de la cultura catalana configura un paisatge fluid i dinàmic, un espai simbòlic d'emoció, percepció i subjectivitat. De la mateixa manera, Barcelona ha sorgit i ressorgit al llarg d'aquest segle i del passat com un espai transcultural fluid de migracions. En una ciutat en què en l'actualitat almenys el 12% de la població prové de fora de les fronteres espanyoles, tot faria pensar que els dramaturgs catalans se senten ara especialmente inclinats a considerar l’espai del pluralisme cultural que és per a'ells «casa seva». Tanmateix, al teatre el procés d'autoreconeixement i el desig d'autoconscienciació es complex. Referintse al …

Proof Of Concept Design And Analysis Of Active Flow Control Of A Supersonic Micro-Nozzle, Christopher J. Szachta

Theses

Low Reynolds number supersonic nozzles have been studied for several years due to their significance in applications in micro-spacecraft. As satellite design reduces in mass and size, smaller more versatile propulsion systems will be required. In response to the need, a conical nozzle (expansion ratio of 25 and 20° half-angle of divergence) with throat dimensions of 600µm x 300µm has been designed and fabricated with capabilities in thrust magnitude control. The device utilizes the expansion of a silicone membrane, located on the upper surface of the supersonic micro-nozzle throat, as a mechanism to reduce the throat cross sectional area, and …

Protecting The Lady From Toledo: Post-Usa Patriot Act Electronic Surveillance At The Library, Susan Nevelow Mart

Publications

Library patrons are worried about the government looking over their shoulder while they read and surf the Internet. Because of the broad provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act, the lack of judicial and legislative oversight, the potential for content overcollection, and the ease with which applications for pen register, section 215 orders, or national security letters can be obtained, these fears cannot be dismissed.

Preemption Of Common Law Claims And The Prospects For Fifra: Justice Stevens Puts The Genie Back In The Bottle, Jennifer S. Hendricks

Publications

In the upcoming Term, the Supreme Court will consider a case raising the question whether the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act preempts state tort law, or only state positive law. FIFRA, under which the Environmental Protection Agency regulates pesticide labels, has an express preemption clause and clearly preempts state positive law on labeling. The question presented is whether and to what extent it also preempts state tort law, particularly claims for failure to warn. The Court's precedent on preemption of state tort law is erratic, but for some reason, the pro-preemption view has been much more popular with lower …

Women Choosing Diverse Workplaces: A Rational Preference With Disturbing Implications For Both Occupational Segregation And Economic Analysis Of Law, Scott A. Moss

Publications

Despite women's dramatic labor market gains, there remains a striking degree of occupational segregation by gender. Analysts typically blame discrimination or women's work/family priorities. This Article offers a different explanation.

It is hard for women choosing jobs or occupations to know where they will face discrimination, particularly since recent judicial decisions eliminated certain employer signals that once differentiated fair and discriminatory firms. One way women can effectuate a preference for nondiscriminatory workplaces is by choosing gender-diverse workplaces. Nondiverse workplaces often are not female-friendly, and discrimination may be the reason they are nondiverse. In economic terms, women rationally use level of …

Not For Attribution: Government's Interest In Protecting The Integrity Of Its Own Expression, Helen Norton

Publications

Public entities increasingly maintain that the First Amendment permits them to ensure that private speakers' views are not mistakenly attributed to the government. Consider, for example, Virginia's efforts to ban the Sons of Confederate Veterans' display of the Confederate flag logo on state-sponsored specialty license plates. Seeking to remain neutral in the ongoing debate over whether the Confederate flag is a symbol of "hate" or "heritage," Virginia argued that the state would be wrongly perceived as endorsing the flag if the logo appeared on a state-issued plate adorned by the identifier "VIRGINIA." The Fourth Circuit was unpersuaded, holding that the …
