The Clash Of Legal Cultures: The Treatment Of Indigenous Law In Colonial And Post-Colonial Africa, Justice Modibo Ocran Jul 2015

The Clash Of Legal Cultures: The Treatment Of Indigenous Law In Colonial And Post-Colonial Africa, Justice Modibo Ocran

Akron Law Review

The judiciary and legislature need to adapt African indigenous law to make it a tool of socio-economic development without sacrificing the core values of African society: the values of fellowship, of being each other’s keeper, and the notion that the free development of each is indeed a condition for the free development of all. The modern African judge will be the first to acknowledge that, in many senses, the problems faced by the British judges in colonial Africa have not vanished. Almost one hundred percent of the African judiciary is now African. But even though there is no longer the …


Mir-21 In Extracellular Vesicles Leads To Neurotoxicity Via Tlr7 Signaling In Siv Neurological Disease., Sowmya V. Yelamanchili, Benjamin G. Lamberty, Deborah A. Rennard, Brenda M. Morsey, Colleen G. Hochfelder, Brittney M. Meays, Efrat Levy, Howard S. Fox Jul 2015

Mir-21 In Extracellular Vesicles Leads To Neurotoxicity Via Tlr7 Signaling In Siv Neurological Disease., Sowmya V. Yelamanchili, Benjamin G. Lamberty, Deborah A. Rennard, Brenda M. Morsey, Colleen G. Hochfelder, Brittney M. Meays, Efrat Levy, Howard S. Fox

Journal Articles: Pharmacology & Experimental Neuroscience

Recent studies have found that extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in normal and disease processes. In the present study, we isolated and characterized EVs from the brains of rhesus macaques, both with and without simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) induced central nervous system (CNS) disease. Small RNA sequencing revealed increased miR-21 levels in EVs from SIV encephalitic (SIVE) brains. In situ hybridization revealed increased miR-21 expression in neurons and macrophage/microglial cells/nodules during SIV induced CNS disease. In vitro culture of macrophages revealed that miR-21 is released into EVs and is neurotoxic when compared to EVs derived from miR-21-/- knockout …

Sepsis remains one of the leading causes of death in burn patients who survive the initial insult of injury. Disruption of the intestinal epithelial barrier has been shown after burn injury; this can lead to the translocation of bacteria or their products (e.g., endotoxin) from the intestinal lumen to the circulation, thereby increasing the risk for sepsis in immunocompromised individuals. Since the maintenance of the epithelial barrier is largely dependent on the intestinal microbiota, we examined the diversity of the intestinal microbiome of severely burned patients and a controlled mouse model of burn injury. We show that burn injury induces …


Growing The Practice Of Vocal Sketching, S. Delle Monache, D. Rocchesso, S. Baldan, Davide Andrea Mauro Phd Jul 2015

Growing The Practice Of Vocal Sketching, S. Delle Monache, D. Rocchesso, S. Baldan, Davide Andrea Mauro Phd

Computer Sciences and Electrical Engineering Faculty Research

Sketch-thinking in the design domain is a complex representational activity, emerging from the reflective conversation with the sketch. A recent line of research on computational support for sound design has been focusing on the exploitation of voice, and especially vocal imitations, as effective representation strategy for the early stage of the design process. A set of introductory exercises on vocal sketching, to probe the communication effectiveness of vocal imitations for design purposes, are presented and discussed, in the scope of the research-through-design workshop activities of the EU project SkAT-VG.


Bats Swarm Where They Hibernate: Compositional Similarity Between Autumn Swarming And Winter Hibernation Assemblages At Five Underground Sites, Jaap Van Schaik, René Janssen, Thijs Bosch Jul 2015

Bats Swarm Where They Hibernate: Compositional Similarity Between Autumn Swarming And Winter Hibernation Assemblages At Five Underground Sites, Jaap Van Schaik, René Janssen, Thijs Bosch

KIP Articles

During autumn in the temperate zone of both the new and old world, bats of many species assemble at underground sites in a behaviour known as swarming. Autumn swarming behaviour is thought to primarily serve as a promiscuous mating system, but may also be related to the localization and assessment of hibernacula. Bats subsequently make use of the same underground sites during winter hibernation, however it is currently unknown if the assemblages that make use of a site are comparable across swarming and hibernation seasons. Our purpose was to characterize the bat assemblages found at five underground sites during both …


Selective Involvement Of The Checkpoint Regulator Vista In Suppression Of B-Cell, But Not T-Cell, Responsiveness By Monocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells From Mice Infected With An Immunodeficiency-Causing Retrovirus, Kathy A. Green, Li Wang, Randolph J. Noelle, William R. Green Jul 2015

Selective Involvement Of The Checkpoint Regulator Vista In Suppression Of B-Cell, But Not T-Cell, Responsiveness By Monocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells From Mice Infected With An Immunodeficiency-Causing Retrovirus, Kathy A. Green, Li Wang, Randolph J. Noelle, William R. Green

Dartmouth Scholarship

Inhibition of T-cell responses in tumor microenvironments by myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) is widely accepted. We demonstrated augmentation of monocytic MDSCs whose suppression of not only T-cell, but also B-cell, responsiveness paralleled the immunodeficiency during LP-BM5 retrovirus infection. MDSCs inhibited T cells by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)/nitric oxide (NO), but uniquely, inhibition of B cells was ~50% dependent each on iNOS/NO and the MDSC-expressed negative-checkpoint regulator VISTA. Blockade with a combination of iNOS/NO and VISTA caused additive or synergistic abrogation of MDSC-mediated suppression of B-cell responsiveness.


Sugar-Induced Cephalic-Phase Insulin Release Is Mediated By A T1r2+T1r3-Independent Taste Transduction Pathway In Mice, John I. Glendinning, Sarah Stano, Marlena Holter, Tali Azenkot, Olivia Goldman, Robert F. Margolskee, Joseph R. Vasselli, Anthony Sclafani Jul 2015

Sugar-Induced Cephalic-Phase Insulin Release Is Mediated By A T1r2+T1r3-Independent Taste Transduction Pathway In Mice, John I. Glendinning, Sarah Stano, Marlena Holter, Tali Azenkot, Olivia Goldman, Robert F. Margolskee, Joseph R. Vasselli, Anthony Sclafani

Publications and Research

Sensory stimulation from foods elicits cephalic phase responses, which facilitate digestion and nutrient assimilation. One such response, cephalic-phase insulin release (CPIR), enhances glucose tolerance. Little is known about the chemosensory mechanisms that activate CPIR. We studied the contribution of the sweet taste receptor (T1r2+T1r3) to sugar-induced CPIR in C57BL/6 (B6) and T1r3 knockout (KO) mice. First, we measured insulin release and glucose tolerance following oral (i.e., normal ingestion) or intragastric (IG) administration of 2.8 M glucose. Both groups of mice exhibited a CPIR following oral but not IG administration, and this CPIR improved glucose tolerance. Second, we examined the specificity …

Full-Range Public Health Leadership, Part 2: Qualitative Analysis And Synthesis, Erik L. Carlton, James W. Holsinger Jr., Martha C. Riddell, Heather Bush Jul 2015

Full-Range Public Health Leadership, Part 2: Qualitative Analysis And Synthesis, Erik L. Carlton, James W. Holsinger Jr., Martha C. Riddell, Heather Bush

Preventive Medicine and Environmental Health Faculty Publications

Public health leadership is an important topic in the era of U.S. health reform, population health innovation, and health system transformation. This study utilized the full-range leadership model in order to examine the public health leadership. We sought to understand local public health leadership from the perspective of local health department leaders and those who work with and for them. Public health leadership was explored through interviews and focus groups with directors (n = 4) and staff (n = 33) from local health departments. Qualitative analytic methods included reflexive journals, code-recode procedures, and member checking, with analysis facilitated …
