A Reformulated Contextual Model Of Psychotherapy For Treating Anxiety And Depression, Michael E. Hyland

School of Psychology

This paper describes a reformulated contextual model that uses cognitive theory (dual process theory), motivation theory (personality) and behavioral adaptation (self-correcting control systems) to show how anxiety and depression are caused, treated and prevented by an interaction between people and contexts. Depression and anxiety are the result of implicit beliefs (not cognitions) that all experience is unrewarding and threatening, these being components of the implicit belief that life is bad. Implicit beliefs are formed automatically from contextual cues and in healthy individuals are consistent with rational appraisal. They become more negative than reality through a process of adaptation when behaviors, …

Universal Norm Psychology Leads To Societal Diversity In Prosocial Behaviour And Development, Bailey R. House, Patricia Kanngiesser, H. Clark Barrett, Tanya Broesch, Senay Cebioglu, Alyssa N. Crittenden, Alejandro Erut, Sheina Lew-Levy, Carla Sebastian-Enesco, Andrew Marcus Smith, Süheyla Yilmaz, Joan B. Silk

School of Psychology

Recent studies have proposed that social norms play a key role in motivating human cooperation and in explaining the unique scale and cultural diversity of our prosociality. However, there have been few studies that directly link social norms to the form, development and variation in prosocial behaviour across societies. In a cross-cultural study of eight diverse societies, we provide evidence that (1) the prosocial behaviour of adults is predicted by what other members of their society judge to be the correct social norm, (2) the responsiveness of children to novel social norms develops similarly across societies and (3) societally variable …

Gone With The Wind: Seasonal Distribution And Habitat Use By The Reef Manta Ray ( Mobula Alfredi ) In The Maldives, Implications For Conservation, Joanna L. Harris, Peter K. Mcgregor, Yvonne Oates, Guy M.W. Stevens

School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) are one of the ocean's largest and most charismatic species. Pressure from targeted and bycatch fisheries coupled with their conservative life-history traits including slow growth, late maturity, and low fecundity has led to catastrophic declines of the global population. The species is now listed as Vulnerable to Extinction on IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The global M. alfredi population is widely distributed in highly fragmented subpopulations. The Maldives supports the world's largest known subpopulation that undergoes seasonal migrations which are thought to be linked to peaks in ocean productivity induced by the South Asian …

Tort Law And Practice, Carol M. Suzuki, Lawrence C. Levine, Ibrahim J. Gassama, Joan E. Vogel, Dominick Vetri

Faculty Book Display Case

The sixth edition continues to provide a rich context for the study of tort law fundamentals and policies. This innovative, student-friendly casebook thoroughly develops the core torts principles, and enhances student learning through the use of cases, notes, questions, and problems, as well as element summaries and flow charts.

The materials provide frequent opportunities to consider the application of tort law in the context of social justice issues related to race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. For example, the book treats important but often overlooked issues of fairness in tort damages based on minority status and gender, especially in cases involving …

Overlapping Roles Of Nadph Oxidase 4 (Nox4) For Diabetic And Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agent-Induced Systemic Fibrosis-Animal Equivalent Dosing Of Gadolinium-Based Contrast Agents Supplementary Figure 1, Francesca Bruno, Joshua Deaguero, Catherine Do, Doug Yoon Lee, Chunyan Tan, G Patricia Escobar, Brent Wagner

The Kidney Institute of New Mexico

This is supplementary material for the forthcoming publication entitled “Overlapping roles of NADPH Oxidase 4 (Nox4) for diabetic and gadolinium-based contrast agent-induced systemic fibrosis”. This supplementary material utilizes a model for gadolinium retention and renal elimination of pharmaceuticals, interspecies allometric scaling to determine animal equivalent dosing, label dosing and published studies of varying and repetitive dosing of gadolinium-based contrast agents used to determine dosing of gadolinium-based contrast agents in our preclinical model. Supplementary Figure 1 demonstrates modeling plasma gadolinium-based contrast agent concentrations based on the Hirano Suzuki equation.

Glycogen Storage Diseases-Time To Flip The Outdated Diagnostic Approach Centered On Liver Biopsy With The Molecular Testing, Sibtain Ahmed, Bushra Afroze

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

The glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are a group of inherited metabolic disorders that result from a defect in any one of several enzymes required for either glycogen synthesis or glycogen degradation. The traditional diagnostic approach is based on the invasive hepatic or muscle biopsies, which are neither cost effective nor convenient. Molecular (gene testing) has emerged over the course of past few years as a robust alternative diagnostic tool, which not only confirms the diagnosis of GSDs but also clearly differentiates the types of GSDs allowing the initiation of the type-specific appropriate treatment for the particular type of GSDs. The …

Civil Rights In Living Color, Vinay Harpalani

Faculty Scholarship

This Article will examine how American civil rights law has treated “color” discrimination and differentiated it from “race” discrimination. It is a comprehensive analysis of the changing legal meaning of “color” discrimination throughout American history. The Article will cover views of “color” in the antebellum era, Reconstruction laws, early equal protection cases, the U.S. Census, modern civil rights statutes, and in People v. Bridgeforth—a landmark 2016 ruling by the New York Court of Appeals. First, the Article will lay out the complex relationship between race and color and discuss the phenomenon of colorism—oppression based on skin color—as differentiated from …

Bringing Relevance Back To Consumer Bankruptcy, Nathalie Martin

Faculty Scholarship

The Seventeenth Annual Emory Bankruptcy Developments Journal Symposium

This Paper presumes that readers want to make bankruptcy more useful for consumers and for society as a whole. If this is true, we need to ask two questions: first, what do individual consumers hope to get out of the system, and second, what does society hope to get out of the system?

Part I of this Paper discusses the increase in debt over the last two decades, the growing wage and income gap, growing debt inequality and race, and the fall of the CFPB, all justifications for using the bankruptcy system …

Hierarchies Of Elitism And Gender: The Bluebook And The Alwd Guide, Steven K. Homer

Faculty Scholarship

Hierarchies persist in legal academia. Some of these, while in plain view, are not so obvious because they manifest in seemingly small, mundane choices. Synecdoche is a rhetorical device used to show how one detail in a story tells the story of the whole. This Article examines hierarchies of elitism and gender through a lens of synecdoche. The focus is on the choice of citation guide. Even something as seemingly benign and neutral as choosing a citation guide can reveal hierarchies of elitism and gender bias in legal education and the legal profession. Put another way, the choice of citation …

Crystal Gazing: Foretelling The Next Decade In Oil And Gas Law, Joseph A. Schremmer

Faculty Scholarship

This chapter attempts to predict the major issues oil and gas law will encounter in the 2020s. Yet even before the first draft could be completed, the industry landscape changed unexpectedly. As this chapter goes to press, the global and domestic economies are just starting to emerge from a sharp downturn brought on by the outbreak of COVID-19. Oil and natural gas prices collapsed to levels not seen in decades. Against this unforeseen backdrop, the legal changes facing oil and gas development in the United States look somewhat different. But one element of our new reality is consistent with this …

Each day it seems we must respond to some new aff ront to humanity—some of us by demonstrating and protesting, some by donating blood or money o r time, others by reaching out to loved …

Holy Body, Holy Place: The Veneration Of St. Swithun From The Old Minster To Winchester Cathedral, Abigail G. Robertson

English Language and Literature ETDs

By considering the way that medieval people would have responded to the hagiography, relics, and shrine of St. Swithun based on their experience as readers and pilgrims, this project will survey the rationale behind the veneration of a saint whose life was largely unknown yet who was ardently beloved and honored in death. That there is not any book-length scholarship dedicated to St. Swithun or his cult aside from Lapidge’s edition, The Cult of St. Swithun, further demonstrates the way that this project will fill a gap in scholarship about the history and sociocultural relevance of this still-famous saint. …
