The Residual Income Method: A New Lens On Housing Affordability And Market Behaviour, Michael E. Stone, Terry Burke, Liss Ralston

Community Studies Faculty Publication Series

This study was designed to explore the viability of an alternative method of measuring affordability (the residual income method) to that of the ubiquitous 30 per cent benchmark method and to use this alternative method for enriching understanding around a range of affordability and housing market issues. The work has been exploratory but it does reveal both the potential and the limitations of the method. Put simply, the residual income method calculates how much is left over for housing rents or mortgage after relevant expenditure items for different household types have been taken into account. If there is insufficient left …

Pharmacokinetic Pilot Study Of The Antiangiogenic Activity Of Standardized Platycodi Radix, Emma M. Twiner, Zhijun Liu, Jeffrey Gimble, Ying Yu, Frank Greenway

Faculty Publications

Introduction: Platycodi radix is a radish used in food, such as Korean kimchi, and has been shown to cause weight loss in rodents. Platycodin D is considered its active ingredient and has been shown to inhibit lipases. The authors hypothesized that platycodi radix and the platycodin D it contains inhibit angiogenesis; another mechanism for weight loss. Methods: This study tested platycodi radix extract, platycodin D, and an extract of platycodi radix standardized to platycodin D for their ability to inhibit angiogenesis in a human adipose tissue assay. This study treated five healthy volunteers, orally, with platycodi radix extract standardized to …

Pparγ-Independent Increase In Glucose Uptake And Adiponectin Abundance In Fat Cells, Olga Dubuisson, Emily J. Dhurandhar, Rashmi Krishnapuram, Heather Kirk-Ballard, Alok K. Gupta, Vijay Hegde, Elizabeth Floyd, Jeffrey M. Gimble, Nikhil V. Dhurandhar

Faculty Publications

Although thiazolidinediones (TZD) effectively improve hyperglycemia and increase adiponectin, a proinsulin-sensitizing adipokine, they also increase adipogenesis via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ induction, which may be undesirable. Recent safety concerns about some TZD have prompted the search for next generation agents that can enhance glycemic control and adiponectin independent of PPARγ or adipogenesis. Reminiscent of TZD action, a human adenovirus, adenovirus 36 (Ad36), up-regulates PPARγ, induces adipogenesis, and improves systemic glycemic control in vivo. We determined whether this effect of Ad36 requires PPARγ and/or adipogenesis. Glucose uptake and relevant cell signaling were determined in mock-infected or human adenoviruses Ad36 or Ad2-infected …

Making A Difference On Pressing Economic And Social Issues: Learning About And Living The Collaborative Leadership Model, Lisa Deangelis

Emerging Leaders Program Team Projects

The forty Fellows in the 2011 Emerging Leaders Program worked in collaboration with the Center for Social Policy at UMass Boston on their “reshaping poverty policy” initiative. The Fellows used their professional skills to analyze data and create awareness campaigns, in turn getting a deeper view of how their civic engagement can make a difference in addressing social issues that affect both businesses and communities. The Fellows examined factors that affect housing and family homelessness, working closely with three organizations: Boston Tenant Coalition, The Fair Housing Center of Greater Boston, and GoKids Boston.

Incendiary Speech And Social Media, Lyrissa Barnett Lidsky

UF Law Faculty Publications

Incidents illustrating the incendiary capacity of social media have rekindled concerns about the "mismatch" between existing doctrinal categories and new types of dangerous speech. This Essay examines two such incidents, one in which an offensive tweet and YouTube video led a hostile audience to riot and murder, and the other in which a blogger urged his nameless, faceless audience to murder federal judges. One incident resulted in liability for the speaker, even though no violence occurred; the other did not lead to liability for the speaker even though at least thirty people died as a result of his words. An …

Bauer Power: 24 And The Making Of An American, Mike Dillon

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

This essay explores how 24 represents torture as an encounter between the imagined nation of “America” and the stateless and nebulous characteristic of “terrorism.” Torturing of terror suspects became public knowledge following the Abu Ghraib scandal and reports of detainee abuse at Guantanamo Bay Prison. This and other scandals of the Bush administration have interacted with the work of 24’s fictional Counter Terrorist Unit in complex ways. The show’s protagonist, Jack Bauer, can be seen as a source of a new model of discipline and national identity.
