Hypoxia-Regulated Carbonic Anhydrase Ix Expression Is Associated With Poor Survival In Patients With Invasive Breast Cancer, Sa Hussain, R Ganesan, G Reynolds, L Gross, Et Al Jan 2007

Hypoxia-Regulated Carbonic Anhydrase Ix Expression Is Associated With Poor Survival In Patients With Invasive Breast Cancer, Sa Hussain, R Ganesan, G Reynolds, L Gross, Et Al

Peninsula Medical School

Tumour hypoxia is a microenvironmental factor related to poor response to radiation, chemotherapy, genetic instability, selection for resistance to apoptosis, and increased risk of invasion and metastasis. Hypoxia-regulated carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) has been studied in various tumour sites and its expression has been correlated with the clinical outcome. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of CA IX expression with outcome in patients with invasive breast cancer. We conducted a retrospective study examining the effects of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) on survival in patients with breast cancer. To facilitate the screening of multiple tissue …

Leadership In Knowledge Sharing: Creating Value Through Collaboration, Thomas Menkhoff, Yue Wah Chay, Hans-Dieter Evers, Benjamin Loh

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This study aims to understand the antecedents of knowledge sharing behavior amongst tenant firms in Science and Technology Parks (STPs) which has been highlighted as a key factor for the development of an epistemic culture of innovation in STPs. Components of a model of knowledge management leadership with a focus on knowledge sharing and innovative value creation in STPs are developed inspired by the work of Nonaka, Nahapiet and Ghoshal, Guns and others. Collection of data on various relevant measures is ongoing, covering technology firms and STPs in Singapore and other Asian countries. Besides outlining model components and hypotheses, tentative …

Nietzsche’S Conception Of Friendship, Ryan C. Kinsella Jan 2007

Nietzsche’S Conception Of Friendship, Ryan C. Kinsella

Theses

Interpreting Friedrich Nietzsche’s unorthodox conception of friendship is the focus of the following dissertation. In couching his conception of friendship within his naturalistic philosophy of the human person and his morality, I aim to establish the central importance of friendship in Nietzsche’s philosophy. An equally important second aim is to demonstrate how Nietzsche’s philosophy of friendship is distinctly constructive in contrast to other aspects of his philosophy. These aims are addressed in three chapters: in the first chapter I examine how Nietzsche discusses friendship in his works, in what tone he discusses friendship, and I will briefly discuss how his …

Nurturing Faith Within The Catholic Home: A Perspective From Catholic Parents Who Do Not Access Catholic Schools, Carmela G. Suart Jan 2007

Nurturing Faith Within The Catholic Home: A Perspective From Catholic Parents Who Do Not Access Catholic Schools, Carmela G. Suart

Theses

Throughout its history, the Catholic Church has regarded the family as the most influential factor in shaping and nurturing the faith of each generation. Within the family, parents are considered to be the first and primary educators of the faith of their children. Irrespective of years of genuine effort by the Catholic Church in Australia to support parents in their task of nurturing the faith of their children, the area of family catechesis still remains inadequately addressed, hence the significance of the study. The aim of this research was to investigate how Catholic parents, who do not send their children …

Existential Counselling Condensed In Fenelon's Spiritual Letters, Megan Levy Jan 2007

Existential Counselling Condensed In Fenelon's Spiritual Letters, Megan Levy

Theses

The findings of this research suggest a compatibility between Fenelon’s Spiritual Letters and Existential theories of personal growth. The Psychotherapy and Counselling Codes of Ethics in Australia, America, and England emphasize the importance of personal growth as an essential tool to ensure responsibility and quality in professional practice. Self-knowledge and self-development are consistent with the ethical principles of Fidelity, Autonomy, Beneficence, Non-maleficence, Justice, and Self-respect. Enriching self to deliver better quality and high ethical service in mental health should be seriously considered for both the trainee and the experienced psychotherapist. The similarities between Fenelon Spiritual Letters and Existential Psychotherapy may …

The Lethal Injection Quandary: How Medicine Has Dismantled The Death Penalty, Deborah W. Denno Jan 2007

The Lethal Injection Quandary: How Medicine Has Dismantled The Death Penalty, Deborah W. Denno

Fordham Law Review

On February 20, 2006, Michael Morales was hours away from execution in California when two anesthesiologists declined to participate in his lethal injection procedure, thereby halting all state executions. The events brought to the surface the long-running schism between law and medicine, raising the question of whether any beneficial connection between the professions ever existed in the execution context. History shows it seldom did. Decades of botched executions prove it. This Article examines how states ended up with such constitutionally vulnerable lethal injection procedures, suggesting that physician participation in executions, though looked upon with disdain, is more prevalent--and perhaps more …

Operation "Drive Out The Trash": The Case For Imposing Targeted United Nations Sanctions Against Zimbabwean Officials, Katherine Hughes Jan 2007

Operation "Drive Out The Trash": The Case For Imposing Targeted United Nations Sanctions Against Zimbabwean Officials, Katherine Hughes

Fordham Law Review

In May 2005, representatives of President Robert Mugabe's government initiated a slum-clearance campaign entitled Operation Murambatsvina, which displaced nearly one million Zimbabweans. Using Operation Murambatsvina as a case study, this Note examines how the United Nations (U.N.) should respond to governments that violate the human rights of those living within their borders. Exploring arguments for and against the various responses available to the U.N., this Note argues that targeted sanctions are the most appropriate response to the abuses perpetrated by the Mugabe regime and offers suggestions for crafting a “smart” sanctions program.

To Attach Or Not To Attach: The Continued Confusion Regarding Search Warrants And The Incorporation Of Supporting Documents, Michael Longyear Jan 2007

To Attach Or Not To Attach: The Continued Confusion Regarding Search Warrants And The Incorporation Of Supporting Documents, Michael Longyear

Fordham Law Review

The Fourth Amendment mandates that a search warrant particularly describe what is to be searched or seized. Courts have allowed officers to use supporting documentation, such as affidavits and other attachments, to define, but not expand, the limits of a search. However, the use of these supporting documents creates a problem when the document is referenced in the warrant but is not physically attached to the warrant. This Note argues that the protection of the Fourth Amendment is not the warrant itself, but the guarantee that a warrant, fully detailing the search to be undertaken, has been approved by a …

Circuit Split Or A Matter Of Semantics? The Supreme Court's Upcoming Decision On Rule 10b-5 "Scheme Liability" And Its Implications For Tax Shelter Fraud Litigation, Mark S. Pincus Jan 2007

Circuit Split Or A Matter Of Semantics? The Supreme Court's Upcoming Decision On Rule 10b-5 "Scheme Liability" And Its Implications For Tax Shelter Fraud Litigation, Mark S. Pincus

Fordham Law Review

After Internal Revenue Service investigations exposed widespread fraud among tax shelter promoters, angry investors sued for securities fraud under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, which provides a cause of action against “primary violators” of the Rule but not against mere “aiders and abettors.” This controversial distinction is further complicated by the recent introduction of “scheme liability” lawsuits under two previously obscure provisions of Rule 10b-5. This Note examines the circuit split over the “primary violator”/“aider and abettor” distinction in scheme liability claims, arguing that the circuits' conflicting concepts of scheme liability actually cover similar conduct, and that tax shelter …

Is The Death Of The Death Penalty Near? The Impact Of Atkins And Roper On The Future Of Capital Punishment For Mentally Ill Defendants, Helen Shin Jan 2007

Is The Death Of The Death Penalty Near? The Impact Of Atkins And Roper On The Future Of Capital Punishment For Mentally Ill Defendants, Helen Shin

Fordham Law Review

In recent years, the U.S. Supreme Court has created two categorical exemptions to the death penalty. In Atkins v. Virginia, the Court exempted mentally retarded offenders. Three years later, in Roper v. Simmons, the Court extended the protection to juveniles. Based on these cases, the practices of foreign countries, and the opinions of professional organizations with relevant expertise, legal scholars speculate that the Court may, in the future, categorically exclude severely mentally ill offenders from the death penalty. This Note examines the feasibility of such an exemption for the mentally ill and considers its possible repercussions.

Fighting Discrimination While Fighting Litigation: A Tale Of Two Supreme Courts, Scott A. Moss Jan 2007

Fighting Discrimination While Fighting Litigation: A Tale Of Two Supreme Courts, Scott A. Moss

Fordham Law Review

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued an odd mix of pro-plaintiff and pro-defendant employment law rulings. It has disallowed harassment lawsuits against employers even with failed antiharassment efforts, construed statutes of limitations narrowly to bar suits about ongoing promotion and pay discrimination, and denied protection to public employee internal complaints. Yet the same Court has issued significant unanimous rulings easing discrimination plaintiffs' burdens of proof. This jurisprudence is often miscast in simple pro-plaintiff or pro-defendant terms. The Court's duality traces to its inconsistent and unaware adoption of competing policy arguments: Policy 1: Employees must try internal dispute resolution before suing--or …

Protecting Newly Discovered Antiquities: Thinking Outside The "Fee Simple" Box, Peter T. Wendel Jan 2007

Protecting Newly Discovered Antiquities: Thinking Outside The "Fee Simple" Box, Peter T. Wendel

Fordham Law Review

Newly discovered antiquities are “mixed goods.” They have a physical component (the object itself) and an intangible component (the archeological and historical information associated with the discovery). This dual nature justifies government intervention into the market, not to capture the positive externalities associated with the antiquity, but to minimize the negative externalities associated with the law of finders. When the typical finder excavates an antiquity, its historical and archeological information is severely damaged, if not destroyed. In response to this problem, source countries have enacted state ownership/retention statutes. These laws, however, have their own negative externalities. They create incentives for …
