Quakers, Peace And The League Of Nations: The Role Of Bertram Pickard, Maureen Waugh

Quaker Studies

Bertram Pickard belonged to a generation of Friends who helped to redefine the nature of Quaker international work between 1920 and 1940. In the aftermath of the First World War he played a major role in broadening the Quaker approach to peacemaking, encompassing not only conflict resolution through the peaceful settlement of disputes but also conflict prevention through institution-building at the international level. His support, however, for collective security and a peace enforcement role for the newly created League of Nations provoked strong opposition from those in London Yearly Meeting who viewed any support for the use of force as …

'On Behalf Of All Young Women Trying To Be Better Than They Are': Feminism And Quakerism In The Nineteenth Century: The Case Of Anna Deborah Richardson, Elizabeth A. O'Donnell

Quaker Studies

Historians of the early British women's movement have frequently drawn connections between the theology and practice of Quakerism and the involvement of female Friends in nineteenth-century 'women's rights' campaigns. These connections are usually expressed in terms of religious, organizational and environmental factors particular to Quakerism, and embody the assumption that the cultural milieu of Quaker women was peculiarly conducive to the development of 'feminist consciousness'. This article examines the complexity of these assumed links, through an exploration of the life and writings of Anna Deborah Richardson (1832-1872) of Newcastle Monthly Meeting. Through her close association with Emily Davies, who established …

Kynurenine Aminotransferase Iii And Glutamine Transaminase L Are Identical Enzymes That Have Cysteine S-Conjugate Β-Lyase Activity And Can Transaminate L-Selenomethionine, John T. Pinto, Boris F. Krasnikov, Steven Alcutt, Melanie E. Jones, Thambi Dorai, Maria T. Villar, Antonio Artigues, Jianyong Li, Arthur J. Cooper

NYMC Faculty Publications

Three of the four kynurenine aminotransferases (KAT I, II, and IV) that synthesize kynurenic acid, a neuromodulator, are identical to glutamine transaminase K (GTK), α-aminoadipate aminotransferase, and mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase, respectively. GTK/KAT I and aspartate aminotransferase/KAT IV possess cysteine S-conjugate β-lyase activity. The gene for the former enzyme, GTK/KAT I, is listed in mammalian genome data banks as CCBL1 (cysteine conjugate beta-lyase 1). Also listed, despite the fact that no β-lyase activity has been assigned to the encoded protein in the genome data bank, is a CCBL2 (synonym KAT III). We show that human KAT III/CCBL2 possesses cysteine S-conjugate β-lyase …

Results Of The October Survey Of Nebraska Business: November 7, 2014, Eric Thompson

Leading Economic Indicator Reports

Summary: Respondents to the October 2014 Survey of Nebraska Business regained an optimistic outlook for sales and employment. October respondents were much more likely to expect sales to rise (30%) than fall (18%) at their business over the next six months and more likely to plan to increase employment (11%) than to reduce it (7%). This outlook was much more optimistic than the mixed outlook reported in September. Within the state, respondents from the Omaha area were the most optimistic in their outlook for sales and employment over the next six months. Respondents from Southeast and Central Nebraska were only …

Extensive Recent Discoveries In The 2014 Update Of Global Andragogical Perspectives, John Henschke, Susan Isenberg

Adult Education Faculty Works

This 2014 updated paper on the History and Philosophy of Andragogy includes 35 new items related to andragogy, which have been discovered since the previous year iteration. It is mainly limited (with a few exceptions) to a chronological history and the accompanying philosophy of andragogy, in line with when the English language documents were published and personal descriptions of events were written down. Some of these documents, however, present aspects of the events and ideas, which recount the years and contexts in which they appeared in published form. This will not be an exact history of the events and philosophy …

Clinical Vignette: A Case Of Tb-Induced Hypersensitivity, Shira Amdur, Charles Pizanis

Hospital Medicine

Erythema induratum (EI), or nodular vasculitis, is a hypersensitivity reaction often, but not exclusively, associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. It presents clinically as painful, recurrent violaceous nodules and plaques on the lower extremities that then leave a scar hyperpigmentation. It can closely resemble erythema nodosum and is distinguished histopathologically. A 53-year-old man who immigrated to the United States from Vietnam approximately 1 year prior presented to his primary care physician with a rash on his lower legs. He described a 1-month history of painful, red bumps initially on his calves, which spread anteriorly. He rated the pain 9/10 and complained …

Clinical Vignette: Pyogenic Liver Abscess Vs. Hepatocellular Carcinoma, The Challenge Of Diagnosis Without A Biopsy, Alberto Aguayo-Rico, Jennifer Jernigan

Hospital Medicine

A liver mass in a cirrhotic liver should always raise the concern for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and expert guidelines state that diagnosis can be made with imaging alone in some settings. Our case illustrates that care must be taken to consider other etiologies before making that diagnosis. A 57 year old man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis came to the ED complaining of 1 month of severe, intermittent abdominal pain with associated subjective fever and chills. A CT abdomen on admission reported 2 ill-defined hypodense liver lesions concerning for HCC. In the setting of liver cirrhosis and a hepatic mass, work …

Psychology Faculty Books and Book Chapters

"In 1965, Hans Kornhuber and Luder Deecke made a discovery that greatly influenced the study of voluntary action. Using electroencephalography (EEG), they showed that when aligning some tens of trials to movement onset and averaging, a slowly decreasing electrical potential emerges over central regions of the brain. It starts 1 second ( s) or so before the onset of the voluntary action1 and continues until shortly after the action begins. They termed this the Bereitschaftspotential, or readiness potential (RP; Kornhuber & Deecke, 1965).2 This became the first well-established neural marker of voluntary action. In that, the RP allowed for more …

Functionalization Of 3,5,8-Trichlorinated Bodipy Dyes, Haijun Wang, Frank R. Fronczek, M. Graça H. Vicente, Kevin M. Smith

Faculty Publications

© 2014 American Chemical Society. Catalytic hydrogenation of dibenzyl 5-dipyrroketone-2,9-dicarboxylates followed by decarboxylative iodination affords a 2,9-diiododipyrroketone which gives a 2,5,9-trichlorodipyrromethene hydrochloride after nucleophilic addition/elimination, with adventitious chloride to replace the two iodide groups. Treatment with BF3·Et2O gives a 3,5,8-trichloro-BODIPY that readily undergoes regioselective Stille coupling at the 8-position, or homo/mixed couplings at the 3,8- or 3,5- and 8-positions. Stepwise and controlled replacement of the 3,5- and 8-chlorine atoms using Stille reagents results in formation of a completely unsymmetrical trisubstituted BODIPY. Several examples of unsymmetrical BODIPYs were synthesized and characterized using this methodology. Structure features of new BODIPYs are discussed …

Tributyltin Alters Secretion Of Interleukin 1 Beta From Human Immune Cells, Shyretha Brown, Margaret Whalen

Chemistry Faculty Research

Tributyltin (TBT) has been used as a biocide in industrial applications such as wood preservation, antifouling paint and antifungal agents. Owing to its many uses, it contaminates the environment and has been found in human blood samples. Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that promotes cell growth, tissue repair and immune response regulation. Produced predominately by both monocytes and macrophages, IL-1β appears to increase the invasiveness of certain tumors. This study shows that TBT modifies the secretion of IL-1β from increasingly reconstituted preparations of human immune cells. IL-1β secretion was examined after 24-, 48-h or 6-day exposures to TBT …

Clinical Vignette: Conned Out Of A Diagnosis: A Case Of An Ectopic Acth-Secreting Tumor, Taylor Goot, Justin Miller, Tasha Serna-Gallegos, Charles Pizanis

Hospital Medicine

Ectopic ACTH-secreting tumors represent a rare clinical entity which can cause a secondary Cushing's syndrome. These hormone-secreting tumors can result in a syndrome that shares many clinical features of primary hyperaldosteronism (Conn's syndrome), and typically require a high degree of clinical suspicion for diagnosis. A 72-year-old female with a past medical history significant for hypertension, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, and tobacco use was referred to the University of New Mexico Hospital from her rural primary care provider for severe refractory hypokalemia. The patient was asymptomatic other than mild lower extremity edema that had been present for the past week and …
