Gender And The Fate Of Julian’S Short Text, Rebecca June

Medieval Feminist Forum: A Journal of Gender and Sexuality

Gender and the Fate of Julian’s Short Text Most studies of Julian of Norwich’s Showings juxtapose her Short and Long texts, with a marked lack of enthusiasm for the Short Text in contrast to its longer, revised form thought to be textually and theologically superior. This essay asks what is at stake in the rigorous defense of Julian’s Long Text and argues that the issue of gender is central both to its revisions and to its favorable reception. The most noted revision related to gender in the Long Text is the addition of its maternal Jesus, characterized as redemptive of …

Permafrost Degradation Leaves Us On Thin Ice, Chas Jones, Knut Kielland, Larry Hinzman

Research Posters

The Tanana River flows through interior Alaska, a region characterized by discontinuous permafrost. Studies link degrading permafrost to increased winter river discharge due to increasing groundwater input. In winter, interior Alaskan rivers are exclusively fed by groundwater, which serves as an external source of heat. In fact, some portions of rivers fed by groundwater maintain thin ice throughout the winter, or remain altogether ice-free, despite very cold air temperatures. These ice conditions represent a significant danger to winter travellers who use rivers for wintertime travel, particularly in this largely roadless area. We developed a physically-based, numeric model to explore how …

A Molecular Mechanism Regulating The Timing Of Corticogeniculate Innervation, Justin Brooks

Theses and Dissertations

Visual system development requires the formation of precise circuitry in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus. Although much work has examined the molecular mechanisms by which retinal axons target and form synapses in dLGN, much less is known about the mechanisms that coordinate the formation of non-retinal inputs in dLGN. These non-retinal inputs represent ~90% of the terminals that form in dLGN. Interestingly, recently reports show that the targeting and formation of retinal and non-retinal inputs are temporally orchestrated. dLGN relay neurons are first innervated by retinal axons, and it is only after retinogeniculate synapses form that …

Degeneracy And Long-Range Correlations, D. Delignières, Vivien Marmelat

Journal Articles

Degeneracy is a ubiquitous property of complex adaptive systems, which refers to the ability of structurally different components to perform the same function in some conditions and different functions in other conditions. Here, we suppose a causal link between the level of degeneracy in the system and the strength of long-range correlations in its behavior. In a numerical experiment, we manipulated degeneracy through the number of networks available in a model composed of a chain of correlated networks over which a series of random jumps are performed. Results showed that correlations in the outcome series increased with the number of …

A Review Of Empirical Approaches To Maintenance Of Staff Implementation Of Function-Based Interventions In Nursing Home Settings, Kazu Takeguchi

Research Papers

The use of atypical anti-psychotic medications has been increasing in nursing homes, even though the adverse effects of such medications in patients with dementia have been widely reported. Additionally, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 mandates the use of behavioral interventions before any medications are used in order to reduce challenging behaviors in demented patients. It has been empirically demonstrated that function-based behavioral interventions are effective in reducing challenging behaviors in older adults with dementia. Behavioral interventions are safe, noninvasive, and usually positive alternatives for physical or medical restraints. However, local staff's intervention implementation is typically not maintained after …

Modern Reformation: An Overview Of New York’S Domestic Relations Law Overhaul, Meaghan E. Howard

Touro Law Review

With nearly half of all first time marriages ending in divorce, there is no wonder that legal reform in the area of domestic relations law has recently taken the State of New York by storm. New York held onto the relic of fault-based divorce for an unusually long period of time, in part due to notions of marital sanctity and reinforcement of the traditional nuclear family. On the other hand, the State, after succumbing to the battle over no-fault divorce, quickly adopted a progressive social and legislative policy by validating the desire of same-sex couples to marry.

"Where Angels Fear To Tread": Cemetery Preservation Efforts By The Massachusetts Historical Commission, Edward L. Bell

Northeast Historical Archaeology

Professional archaeologists assist in the preservation of historical cemeteries that may be impacted by private or public projects. While historical cememtery preservation efforts in Massachusetts are strong, current laws are not effective in compelling archaeological intervention in all cases. Despite the problematic legal situation, the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC) has successfully advocated for preservation standards. In the case of the Harwich United Methodist Church (HUMC) Expansion Project, however, the proponents were unable and unwilling to comply fully with MHC's recommendations to mitigate unavoidable impacts to graves through systematic archaeological data recovery. Archaeological survey identified both marked and unmarked graves in …

Chronic Injuries Due To Running And A Possible Cure With The Barefoot Style, Daniel M. Hoopes

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Repetitive stress injuries, which are common amongst runners result from an accumulation of microdamage from repeated application of stress. This leads to strain, or deformation. At first, this falls within the physiologic range of elastic deformation. With excessive running, bones can be subjected to supraphysiologic plastic deformation and soft tissues can be subjected to supraphysiologic viscous deformation. High strain and high rates of application of that strain can lead to fatigue damage In bone, this manifests as microcracks, and as failures of collagen cross-links in soft tissue. These small-scale failures allow elastic hysteresis, which is the difference between the energy …

The Evolution Of The Femoral Stem Design In Total Hip Arthroplasty, Dustin Briggs

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Since the introduction of Dr. John Charnley’s “low-friction arthroplasty” in 1962, the general concepts of total hip arthroplasty have remained greatly unchanged. He laid the foundation for a predictably successful surgical intervention for an ailment previously difficult to treat. The low-friction arthroplasty featured a monoblock stainless steel femoral stem, high density polyethelene, self-curing polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA), and aseptic technique. Although the general principles of arthroplasty have remained remarkably similar implant design has evolved over the past 50 years.The following is a review of the evolution of the femoral stem.

Management Of Pediatric Femur Shaft Fractures, Aaron Dickens

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Management of pediatric diaphyseal femur fractures has evolved significantly over the last 50 years. Nonoperative treatment with traction and immobilization was previously the mainstay of treatment. Due to the morbidity associated with prolonged immobilization and the development of fixation devices geared toward treatment of pediatric fractures, operative treatment is now more prevalent but is still age-ependent. Skeletal maturity and the potential for bony remodeling is a significant factor in guiding treatment.

The Effects Of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections On Patellar Tendinopathy, Shyla Mesch

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Physical therapy is often a very successful tool in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy and should be followed and implemented for at least 3 to 6 months as a first line of treatment. For those individuals suffering from recalcitrant patellar tendinopathy that have failed more conservative treatments, it may be worthwhile to include PRP injection therapy as a recommendation. Studies have shown decreases in tendon irregularities and results of pain reduction and/or increased function after PRP injection. Although current research is of lower quality and confers no clear benefit that can be stated with certainty, we can say PRP injection …
