Part III of this Note will analyze the positions of those who support a ban on the use of restraints on pregnant inmates and detainees. …

Implementing 501(R): Has 501(R) Lived Up To Its Intended Purpose?, Brandon Huber

Belmont Health Law Journal

This Note proceeds in four parts. Part I steps back and takes a brief look at the history and background of federal tax law; specifically, as it relates to the hospital-specific requirements the IRS has placed on hospitals seeking to qualify or maintain taxexempt status over the years. Additionally, Part I discusses the incorporation and implementation of Section 501(r) into the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Part II then explores the IRS’ enforcement of Section 501(r), including the IRS’ 2017 decision to revoke a “dual status” hospital’s tax-exempt status for non-compliance. Then, Part II will conclude by explaining how tax-exempt hospitals …

Making Herstory: Cherokee Women's Stickball, Natalie M. Welch, Jessica Siegele, Zachary T. Smith, Robin Hardin

Faculty Publications

Cherokee stickball amongst the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is a sporting tradition that precedes written records. Historical and academic texts have focused on men’s participation in the sport. However, Cherokee women participated in their own stickball games as recent as a decade ago, and stories exist of women playing stickball in the late nineteenth century. Many in the community believe stickball should not be played by women and doubt evidence of women playing historically. Researchers sought to understand the intersectionality of gender and ethnic identity for female stickball players who took the field to play stickball at the turn …

Alopecia is a clinical condition caused by excessive hair loss which may result in baldness, the causes of which still remain elusive. Conditioned media (CM) from stem cells shows promise in regenerative medicine. Our aim was to evaluate the potential CM of dental pulp stem cells obtained from human deciduous teeth (SHED-CM) to stimulate hair growth under in vitro and in vivo conditions. SHED and hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) (n = 3) were cultured in media combinations; i) STK2, ii) DMEM-KO+10% FBS, iii) STK2+2% FBS and profiled for the presence of positive hair growth-regulatory paracrine factors; SDF-1, HGF, VEGF-A, …

Microwave-Assisted Conversion Of Agro-Industrial Copra Residue Oil To Diesel Engine Compatible Fatty Acid Methyl Esters, Zul Ilham, M.I. Hakimi, M.R.A. Mansor, F. Goembira

Research Publications (2016 to 2020)

Due to the increasing concern towards fossil fuel reserve and its fluctuating price, many countries shifted towards producing biodiesel as an alternative green fuel. In this study, the main objective is to synthesis biodiesel from coconut copra, an agro-industrial residue, as potential feedstock using different transesterification techniques, namely stirring mechanical-assisted technique (SAT), ultrasonic-assisted technique (UAT), and microwave-assisted technique (MAT). The current study will show comparison between the biodiesel yields, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) compositions and fuel properties of the transesterification techniques used. The result showed that the copra residue biodiesel (CRB) using SAT produced the highest yield of biodiesel …

The 4717c > G Polymorphism In Periplakin Modulates Sensitivity To Egfr Inhibitors, Hui Mei Lee, Gregory Michael Kelly, Nur Syafinaz Zainal, Pei San Yee, Muhammad Zaki Hidayatullah Fadlullah, Bernard Kok Bang Lee, Chai Phei Gan, Vyomesh Patel, Sok Ching Cheong

Research Publications (2016 to 2020)

The use of EGFR inhibitors on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) as monotherapy yielded modest clinical outcomes and therefore would benefit from biomarkers that could predict which patient subsets are likely to respond. Here, we determined the efficacy of erlotinib in OSCC cell lines, and by comparing sensitive and resistant lines to identify potential biomarkers. We focused on the 4717C > G polymorphism in periplakin (PPL) where the CC genotype was associated with erlotinib resistance. To validate this, erlotinib-resistant cell lines harbouring CC genotype were engineered to overexpress the GG genotype and vice versa. Isogenic cell lines were then studied for …

An Integrative Systems Approach Identifies Novel Candidates In Marfan Syndrome-Related Pathophysiology., Raghu Bhushan, Lukas Altinbas, Marten Jäger, Marcin Zaradzki, Daniel Lehmann, Bernd Timmermann, Nicholas P Clayton, Yunxiang Zhu, Klaus Kallenbach, Georgios Kararigas, Peter N Robinson

Faculty Research 2019

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene. Although many peripheral tissues are affected, aortic complications, such as dilation, dissection and rupture, are the leading causes of MFS-related mortality. Aberrant TGF-beta signalling plays a major role in the pathophysiology of MFS. However, the contributing mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here, we aimed at identifying novel aorta-specific pathways involved in the pathophysiology of MFS. For this purpose, we employed the Fbn1 under-expressing mgR/mgR mouse model of MFS. We performed RNA-sequencing of aortic tissues of 9-week-old mgR/mgR mice compared with wild-type (WT) mice. With …

Representing Glycophenotypes: Semantic Unification Of Glycobiology Resources For Disease Discovery., Jean-Philippe F Gourdine, Matthew H Brush, Nicole A Vasilevsky, Kent Shefchek, Sebastian Köhler, Nicolas Matentzoglu, Monica C Munoz-Torres, Julie A Mcmurry, Xingmin Aaron Zhang, Peter N Robinson, Melissa A Haendel

Faculty Research 2019

While abnormalities related to carbohydrates (glycans) are frequent for patients with rare and undiagnosed diseases as well as in many common diseases, these glycan-related phenotypes (glycophenotypes) are not well represented in knowledge bases (KBs). If glycan-related diseases were more robustly represented and curated with glycophenotypes, these could be used for molecular phenotyping to help to realize the goals of precision medicine. Diagnosis of rare diseases by computational cross-species comparison of genotype-phenotype data has been facilitated by leveraging ontological representations of clinical phenotypes, using Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO), and model organism ontologies such as Mammalian Phenotype Ontology (MP) in the context …

Electronic Field Trips For Science Engagement: The Streaming Science Model, Jamie Loizzo, Mary J. Harner, Deborah J. Weitzenkamp, Kevin Kent

Southeast Research and Extension Center: Reports and Administration

While institutions of higher education work to engage PK-12 youth in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) concepts and careers via in-person programming, PK-12 teachers and students face many logistical and access constraints for physically traveling to sites off of school grounds during the school day. Throughout the years, electronic field trips (EFTs) have offered a digital way for schools to engage in meaningful ways with museums, parks, laboratories, and field research sites. In order for EFTs to be effective, they should be cost effective and created collaboratively with teachers, students, subject matter experts, and instructional design and communication professionals. …

Forelimbs Of The Theropod Dinosaur Dilophosaurus Wetherilli: Range Of Motion, Influence Of Paleopathology And Soft Tissues, And Description Of A Distal Carpal Bone, Philip J. Senter, Corwin Sullivan

College of Health, Science, and Technology

Forelimb bones of the Early Jurassic theropod Dilophosaurus wetherilli were manually manipulated to determine the range of motion (ROM) of each forelimb joint and to test functional hypotheses of forelimb use. Using bony articular surface margins to delimit ROM, the humerus can be retracted to a position subparallel to the scapular blade, protracted no further than a subvertical position, and elevated only 65°. The elbow cannot be flexed beyond a right angle to the humerus. Supination and pronation are prevented by lack of rolling radio-ulnar joints, and the palms face medially. The distal carpal block of Dilophosaurus, described here for …

Nebraska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit: Staff Publications

Recreational fisheries (RF) are complex social-ecological systems that play an important role in aquatic environments while generating significant social and economic benefits around the world. The nature of RF is diverse and rapidly evolving, including the participants, their priorities and behaviors, and the related ecological impacts and social and economic benefits. RF can lead to negative ecological impacts, particularly through overexploitation of fish populations and spread of non-native species and genotypes through stocking. Hence, careful management and monitoring of RF is essential to sustain these ecologically and socioeconomically important resources. This special issue on recreational fisheries contains diverse research, syntheses, …

Nebraska Statewide Arboretum: Publications

The three main reasons for dividing perennials are to control the size of the plants, to help rejuvenate them, and to increase their number. Dividing and replanting keeps rapidly spreading perennials under control. Dividing will rejuvenate old plants, keeping them vigorous and blooming freely. Dividing perennials is an easy and inexpensive way to gain additional plants for your garden or to share.

Making Corporations More Human Through Artificial Intelligence, Michael R. Siebecker

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Can existing corporate fiduciary principles adequately guide officers and directors regarding the proper development and utilization of artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies? What role should AI play in corporate boardrooms? These questions seem especially pressing considering the increasing prevalence of AI throughout a variety of industries in a host of key functions. It should come as little surprise, however, that with the advent of a powerful new technology, important concerns arise regarding the limits on its use and the ends to which it should be directed. Ethicists warn about AI 's lack of moral sensitivity, empathy, and appreciation for human rights. …

Labeling Food Safety Attributes: To Inform Or Not To Inform?, Kofi Britwum, Amalia Yiannaka

Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications

We examine the impact of food labels that make unsupported claims of food safety and labels that provide information to support such claims on consumer choices and examine consumers’ willingness to pay for beef products with these different food safety labeling cues. Empirical results from a survey of grocery shoppers in a Midwestern city in the USA show that more than two thirds of respondents who received a label with unsubstantiated food safety claims chose this option and were willing to pay the highest price premium for it, compared to the less preferred labeling options that provided information to support …

The Isolation Of Presumptive Pathogens From The Pellets Of Seven North American Owl Species, Quoc Nguyen

Merge

Most birds, especially raptors such as owls (Strigiformes), egest pellets, which are regurgitated masses of the owl’s prey. The contents of the pellets may contain hair, teeth, and bones which are usually indigestible since an owl’s stomach lacks the necessary ability to break down the ingested material. Furthermore, the formed pellets cannot pass through the digestive tract and are regurgitated since it would either be too dangerous to pass through the digestive system or would block additional ingestion of new food, hence the reason to egest the pellets. Research on the pathogenic bacteria in owl pellets are scant but understanding …

Developmental And Reproductive Characteristics Of Beef Heifers Classified By Number Of Estrous Cycles Experienced By Start Of First Breeding, Andy Roberts, Jaclyn N. Ketchum, Richard N. Funston

West Central Research and Extension Center, North Platte

A retrospective analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of number of estrous cycles exhibited before breeding on growth and reproductive performance of replacement beef heifers fed ad-libitum or restricted by 20% less than ad-libitum during postweaning development over a 9-yr period. Progesterone concentration in blood samples collected at 9- to 11-d intervals were used to assign heifers into groups by number of estrous cycles exhibited before the start of breeding: 0 (nonpubertal; n = 395), 1 (n = 205), 2 (n = 211), 3 (n = 116), or >3 (n = 249). Heifers (P …

Justice And Public Health, Govind Persad

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

This chapter discusses how justice applies to public health. It begins by outlining three different metrics employed in discussions of justice: resources, capabilities, and welfare. It then discusses different accounts of justice in distribution, reviewing utilitarianism, egalitarianism, prioritarianism, and sufficientarianism, as well as desert-based theories, and applies these distributive approaches to public health examples. Next, it examines the interplay between distributive justice and individual rights, such as religious rights, property rights, and rights against discrimination, by discussing examples such as mandatory treatment and screening. The chapter also examines the nexus between public health and debates concerning whose interests matter to …

Reintegrating Biology Through The Nexus Of Information And Energy, Kim L. Hoke, Sara L. Zimmer, Mary Jo Ondrechen, Amedee Des Georges, Adam B. Roddy, Nicole R. Buan, Craig E. Williamson

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Recent rapid advances in biology have led to diversification and sub-specialization of many fields, as well as a corresponding explosion of new findings. Advances in tools ranging from genomic techniques and high-resolution imaging to automated ecosystem- and biosphere-level sensors, along with correspondingly advanced analytics, have led to critical new insights that are transforming our understanding of biological systems. One of the consequences of these rapid advances has been accelerated splintering of biology into sub-disciplines with highly focused questions, vocabulary, and techniques. This splintering creates barriers to synergy across fields of biology and hinders the insights that could be gained at …
