Working To Educate Global Citizens And Create Neighborly Communities Locally And Globally: Penn’S Partnerships In West Philadelphia As A Democratic Experiment In Progress, Ira Harkavy, Matt Hartley, Joann Weeks, Rita Hodges

Higher Learning Research Communications

In the rapidly accelerating global era in which we now live, human beings must solve a vast array of unprecedently complex problems. Perhaps the most complex and significant problems facing society today are persistent, widening, and increasingly destructive social, economic, and political inequality; globally destructive, man-made climate change; and increasingly frequent and savage terrorist acts. Given their proclaimed dedication to critical intelligence, and their unique constellation of formidable resources to develop it, institutions of higher education, we submit, have a unique responsibility to help solve these problems—indeed all the problems intensified by globalization.

Elusive Empowerment: Compensating The Sex Trafficked Person Under The Trafficking Victims Protection Act, Theodore R. Sangalis

Fordham Law Review

Globally, hundreds of thousands-perhaps millions-are being forced or coerced into commercial sex acts. In the United States, this sex trafficking problem has become a lucrative illegal industry, and it is quickly growing. In response, Congress passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA) to eradicate the industry by prosecuting the perpetrators, protecting the victims, and preventing the practice. Through several reauthorizations, one federal strategy that has emerged is compensating the victims through mandatory criminal restitution and civil remedies. Collection of restitution damages has been lacking, however, and no civil suit filed for sex trafficking survivors has reached the merits. …

Weaving Functional Brain Imaging Into The Tapestry Of Evidence: A Case For Functional Neuroimaging In Federal Criminal Courts, Adam Teitcher

Fordham Law Review

Recent advances in brain imaging technologies allow researchers to "peer inside" a defendant's brain. Although functional neuroimaging evidence is frequently used in civil litigation, federal courts have been hesitant to admit it into evidence in criminal trials. Scholars and commentators alike continue to debate the merits, detriments, and general admissibility of functional neuroimaging evidence in the criminal context. Meanwhile, federal judges repeatedly admit various forms of forensic science into evidence without evaluating them under the appropriate admissibility standards. This Note argues that this has created a double standard for evidence admissibility. Functional neuroimaging evidence may, in fact, be more scientifically …

Étude Exploratoire Du Rôle Des Systèmes Immunitaire Et Endocrinien Dans L’Incapacité De Longue Durée À La Suite D’Une Lombalgie, Manon Truchon, Marc Pouliot, Marie-Ève Schmouth

Rapports de recherche scientifique

L’incapacité prolongée associée aux désordres musculo-squelettiques d’origine professionnelle, dont les douleurs lombaires non spécifiques, pose un problème majeur et coûteux aux personnes atteintes ainsi qu’à l’ensemble de la société. L’apparition de désordres musculo-squelettiques et le développement de l’incapacité prolongée pourraient être liés à la présence de stresseurs qui engendreraient l’activation de mécanismes physiologiques et le maintien d’un cycle d’inflammation. La réponse émotionnelle face à ces stresseurs pourrait être le pont entre les stresseurs et l’activation des mécanismes physiologiques. Jusqu’à maintenant, peu d’études ont été menées explorant les liens possibles entre les variables psychologiques et les mécanismes physiologiques dans le développement …

Prospects For Political Reform In China, Jody Lee Tomlin

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study is intended to analyze levels of institutional confidence in China. The purpose is to measure the relationship between changing political and cultural values with modernization and levels of institutional criticism. To analyze institutional criticism modernization and political culture theories are used. Using these theories together offers explanatory power as to what political and cultural values may change and why changes in confidence in governance may occur. These theories include socioeconomic, traditional, and political values to measure institutional confidence in 1990 and 2007. The examination of traditional versus modernization values imply that individuals possessing these opposing values display different …

Buklet Sebagai Media Pencegahan Terhadap Kekerasan Seksual Pada Anak-Anak, Ira Paramastri, J. E. Prawitasari, Yayi Suryo Prabandari, Endang Ekowarni

Kesmas

Kekerasan seksual pada anak (KSA) merupakan aktivitas seksual yang melibatkan anak-anak oleh orang yang lebih dewasa. Perbuatan ini mengakibatkan trauma, baik fisik, psikis, sosial, maupun perilaku. Fenomena ini tidak selalu terlaporkan mengingat keadaan, kesediaan atau keberanian korban untuk melaporkan, dukungan keluarga untuk mempertahankan laporan ke polisi, dan kepedulian berbagai pihak pada perlindungan anak. Demi melindungi anak maka diperlukan suatu strategi preventif untuk mengantisipasi meluasnya kasus tersebut. Media buklet diharapkan dapat menjadi salah satu bentuk media pendukung pencegahan terhadap KSA. Suatu studi dilakukan untuk menguji apakah media buklet dapat dipakai sebagai alat pencegahan KSA, khususnya bagi siswa sekolah dasar (SD). Metode …

The Relationship Of Peer Norms, Connectedness With Glb Community, Minority Stress, And Condom Use Self-Efficacy With Safer Sex Behaviors In Men Who Have Sex With Men, Rebecca Adele Aycock

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Even though there have been multiple initiatives orchestrated to educate MSM (Men Who Have Sex with Men) about engaging in safer sex practices, many still engage in unsafe sexual practices(Hospers, Molenaar, and Kok, 1994; Seal et al., 2000). There is a substantial amount of research supporting the role perceived peer norms and self-efficacy play in facilitating and individual's sexual behaviors (Hamilton & Mahalik, 2009; Kelly et al., 1995; Miner, Peterson Welles, Jacoby, & Roser, 2010; Peterson & Bakeman, 2006; Peterson, Rothenberg, Kraft, Beeker, & Trotter, 2009). Furthermore, Hamilton and Mahalik (2009) found that minority stress signifcantly interacted with perceived social …

In Vitro Assessment Of Biomaterial-Induced Remodeling Of Subchondral And Cancellous Bone For The Early Intervention Of Joint Degeneration With Focus On The Spinal Disc, Jonathan Dempsey Mccanless

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Osteoarthritis-associated pain of the spinal disc, knee, and hip derives from degeneration of cartilagenous tissues in these joints. Traditional therapies have focused on these cartilage (and disc specific nucleus pulposus) changes as a means of treatment through tissue grafting, regenerative synthetic implants, non-regenerative space filling implants, arthroplasty, and arthrodesis. Although such approaches may seem apparent upon initial consideration of joint degeneration, tissue pathology has shown changes in the underlying bone and vascular bed precede the onset of cartilaginous changes. It is hypothesized that these changes precedent joint degeneration and as such may provide a route for early prevention. The current …

Coos Teens’ View Of Family Economic Stress Is Tied To Quality Of Relationships At Home, Corinna J. Tucker, Genevieve R. Cox

Carsey Publications

Family economic hardship during adolescence affects family relationships and the social, emotional, and behavioral development of a substantial number of American youth. The authors of this brief use data from the Coos County Youth Study, conducted by the Carsey Institute, to explore adolescents’ perceptions of family economic pressure in 2008 and determine whether these views are linked to their family relationship experiences one year later. They report that one-third of adolescents in Coos County, New Hampshire, perceive that their family is experiencing significant economic pressure and that significant economic pressure is linked to negative parent-child and sibling relationships one year …
