Exercise Improves Endothelial Function Associated With Alleviated Inflammation And Oxidative Stress Of Perivascular Adipose Tissue In Type 2 Diabetic Mice, Jinju Wang, Venkata Polaki, Shuzhen Chen, Ji Chen Bihl, Pasquale Pagliaro

Pharmacology and Toxicology Faculty Publications

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), a type of adipose tissue that surrounds the blood vessels, has been considered an active component of the blood vessel walls and involved in vascular homeostasis. Recent evidence shows that increased inflammation and oxidative stress in PVAT contribute to endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Exercise is an important nonpharmacological approach for vascular diseases. However, there is limited information regarding whether the beneficial effects of exercise on vascular function is related to the PVAT status. In this study, we investigated whether exercise can decrease oxidative stress and inflammation of PVAT and promote the improvement of …

Legal Complications Of Repatriation At The British Museum, Hannah R. Godwin Dec 2020

Legal Complications Of Repatriation At The British Museum, Hannah R. Godwin

Washington International Law Journal

The British Museum has been the target of criticism around the world for its failure to repatriate controversial cultural property to their respective countries of origin. In 1753, a private collector left his collection to Great Britain if it agreed to build a public museum and designate a Board of Trustees whose duty was to protect the collection for the public. Statutorily incorporating the collector’s intent, Parliament passed legislation binding the Board of Trustees to abide by certain principles, including preserving the collection and prohibiting disposal of objects, except in very few circumstances. As such, the Museum is administrated through …

Mental Health In U.S. Schools: Problems, Interventions, And Future Directions, Emma Rumpf-Snavely

Journal of Critical Issues in Educational Practice

The psychological well-being of American children has been a concern due to the rise in mental health issues. Efforts have been made to tackle some of the issues that are most prevalent among youth such as stress, depression, bullying, substance abuse, suicide and self-harm.

A Distant Reading Of Khamphun Bunthawi’S Luk Isan (A Child Of The Northeast) As World Literature, Ram Prasansak Dec 2020

A Distant Reading Of Khamphun Bunthawi’S Luk Isan (A Child Of The Northeast) As World Literature, Ram Prasansak

Journal of Letters

This article offers a distant reading of Khamphun Bunthawi’s Luk Isan (A Child of the Northeast) as world literature. By attending to its production, circulation, translation, and reception in an interlocking literary system, it shows that the novel borrows the bildungsroman form from an American children’s novel. This borrowing underlines the role of translated literature and editors in establishing a profoundly unequal relationship between the Western core and peripheral literatures. This article also examines the English translation of Luk Isan. It argues that while the translation creates an intertext that aids Anglophone audiences in comprehending the novel’s foreignness, it …

Friendship Across Ethnic Boundaries In John Boyne’S The Boy In The Striped Pajamas And Daniella Carmi’S Samir And Yonatan, Siriporn Sriwarakan

From The Hague To Jakarta: Changes In Thai Foreign Policy Towards The Netherlands In 1949, Thanat Preeyanont

Journal of Letters

In 1945, a few days after the Japanese Imperial Army had surrendered, the indigenous people on the Indonesian archipelago established the Republic of Indonesia and declared independence from their colonizers, the Dutch. The events led to a 4-year conflict including physical war and negotiations, before the Dutch government finally transferred its sovereignty over the archipelago to the indigenous government in 1949. Through historical diplomatic correspondence from both Thai and Dutch archives, this article examines changes in Thai foreign policy towards the Netherlands in the last year of the conflict. Between 1945-1949 the Thai government almost always recognized Dutch sovereignty over …

Incorporating Pacific Ocean Climate Information To Enhance The Tree-Ring Based Streamflow Reconstruction Skill, Saria Bukhary, Ajay Kalra, Sajjad Ahmad

Civil and Environmental Engineering and Construction Faculty Research

The Sacramento River Basin (SRB) and the San Joaquin River Basin (JRB) have a history of recurring droughts. Both are important for California, being the crucial source of water supply. The available instrumental records may not depict the long-term hydrologic variability encompassing the duration and frequency of the historic low flow events. Thus, streamflow reconstruction becomes important in the current scenario of climatic alteration, escalating population and growing water needs. Studies have shown that Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) influence the precipitation and streamflow volumes of southwestern United States, particularly …

Modeling By Disruption And A Selected-For Partner For The Nude Locus, Jian Li, Yun-Kyoung Lee, Wenyu Fu, Anne M. Whalen, Mario C. Estable, Laurel A. Raftery, Kristin White, Lorin Weiner, Janice L. Brissette

Life Sciences Faculty Research

A long‐standing problem in biology is how to dissect traits for which no tractable model exists. Here, we screen for genes like the nude locus (Foxn1)—genes central to mammalian hair and thymus development—using animals that never evolved hair, thymi, or Foxn1. Fruit flies are morphologically disrupted by the FOXN1 transcription factor and rescued by weak reductions in fly gene function, revealing molecules that potently synergize with FOXN1 to effect dramatic, chaotic change. Strong synergy/effectivity in flies is expected to reflect strong selection/functionality (purpose) in mammals; the more disruptive a molecular interaction is in alien contexts (flies), the more beneficial it …
