Ang Mga Hanggahan Sa Pagitan Ng Bakla At Ng Gay, Martin F. Manalansan

Katipunan

Ang Global Divas ay isang etnograpikong pag-aaral sa mga Filipinong bakla na imigrante o naglipat-bansa na naninirahan sa kapookan ng New York City. Binibigyang-hugis at sinusuri ng aklat ang mga paghihinagpis, paghahanapbuhay, at paglalakbay ng mga identidad, mga ugali at kilos, at mga kultura sa pamamagitan ng pakikipagharap sa mga di-mapanghahawakang pagpihit ng lahi, kasarian, seksuwalidad, at modernidad. Itinatanghal ng Global Divas ang maigting at masalimuot na pakikipagkasundo at pakikipagtalo ng mga nasabing bakla ukol sa wika, pagnanasa, karamdaman, at pangangarap. Binibiyak at binubulabog ng akdang ito ang gahum ng mapansaklaw-sa-lahat na namamayaning gay identity at tumutungo sa kritika ukol …

Imperyo Bilang Paghahari Ng Digma At Pasismo, Nerissa S. Balce

Katipunan

Binabalikan ng kasalukuyang artikulo ang gawa ng mga iskolar na nag-aaral tungkol sa Pilipinas at diasporang Pilipino. Nililinaw ang dalawang lapit sa pag-aaral sa imperyo ng Estados Unidos o sa marahas na kolonyalismo ng mga Americano sa Pilipinas matapos ang Digmaang Pilipino-Americano (1899-1902). Una, nariyan ang nosyon ng imperyo bilang politikal na idea. Pangalawa, nariyan ang nosyon ng imperyo bilang kultura o mga kabilang buhay ng imperyo na mababakas sa mga kultural na anyo na inakda o nilikha ng mga “suheto ng imperyal na pananakop.” Higit na binibigyang-tuon ng artikulo ang kaso ng araling Filipinx, kung saan tinutukoy ng …

Mga Nagsisilbing Kuwentuhan, Ivan Emil A. Labayne

Katipunan

Sumipi ang Mga Nagsisilbing Kuwentuhan sa apat na akda—nina Conchitina Cruz, Allan Derain, Jhumpa Lahiri, at Timothy Bewes— kung saan may bahaging tungkol sa isang tagasilbi, isang kasambahay, o isang eskribyente. Madalas nang banggitin ang ugnayan at tunggalian ng master at slave at maraming permutasyon at salin nito: naghahari at pinaghaharian, amo at alipin, taga-utos at utusan. Bahagi ng kritikal na pihit sa diskursong pangkaalaman, at politikal na praktika ang pagbibigay-pribilehiyo, kundi man pati kapangyarihan, sa mga naaapi, sa mga alipin, sa mga pinaghaharian. Tangka ang Mga Nagsisilbing Kuwentuhan na bigyan sila ng pansin habang pinagagana ang metodo ng pangongopya, …

Heswitik, Khavn .

Katipunan

Mula sa “Poetika”: Sa totoo lang, hindi ko na maalala ang mga obrang ito. Parang isinulat ng ibang tao. Past life, wika nga. Bagamat parang sa panaginip, may ilang bahagi akong bahagyang naaalala. Ngunit sa pangkalahatan, buradong pisara. Maihahalintulad din ito sa gabing lasing na lasing ka at wala kang maalala kinabukasan maliban sa ilang piraso ng sandali at best. Isa sa mga paborito kong dasal—na nilapatan ko rin ng musika—ay ang Dasal ng Katahimikan ni San Francisco ng Assisi. “Daanan ako ng pag-ibig mo.” Totoo na isa sa mga nuno ng akda (tula/kwento/kunganoman) kong “Ako” (dalawampu’t dalawang pahina) ay …

Teorya Ng Mga Puno, Christian Jil R. Benitez

Katipunan

Inaari ng “Teorya ng mga Puno” ang proposisyong inihahain ng makatang Americano na si Joyce Kilmer sa kaniyang kilalang tulang “Trees”: “Poems are made by fools like me / But only God can make a tree.” Sa gayon, ang mahabang tulang ito ay pagtatangka ng isang makata na makalikha ng isang puno, sa pamamagitan na rin ng panunuliranin at pagsasakasangkapan sa wika, at ng malay na pagiwas sa tukso ng mga pastoral na baling. Sa huli, tinatangka ng tula ang pagpapalabas ng isang arboreal na materyalidad, na umaasang makabubulabog sa kung papaano karaniwang isinasapraktika ang wikang Filipino sa lawas ng …

Patse-Patse, Jehu Laniog

Katipunan

Ang kuwentong ito ay lumalawak na gunitang nagsisilbing pinto ng awtor sa isang bahagi ng kaniyang nakaraan. Sa paggalugad sa nagdaan, tinatangka ng kuwentong maghabi ng naratibo mula sa pira-pirasong alaala. Ginamit ang salitang “lumalawak” dahil hindi matatapos ang kuwento, patuloy itong hahaba sa bawat pagtatangka ng pagsusulat. Ang balangkas ng kuwento ay sumusunod sa sinabi ni Craik at Jacoby (2023) na ang pagbubuo ng alaala ay nakadepende sa kalagayan ng isip ng nagbabalik-tanaw. May mga bahagi ng kuwentong isinulat ng awtor noong nasa ibang bansa pa siya at may ilang bahagi na naisulat ilang linggo matapos siyang makauwi sa …

Tanga Ka Na Lang Kung Naniniwala Kapa Sa Kapangyarihan Ng Kuwento, Benjo Gutierrez

Katipunan

Ang pagsusulat ay palaging paghahalughog ng sarili. Hindi matigil, hindi masagad. May natayang tradisyonal na henerikong anyo ng pagaakda na inaaral sa mga pamantasan ng malikhaing pagsulat. Hindi ba ito puwedeng basagin? Dapat bang idikit sa ganitong pormula ang pasusulat ng maikling kuwento? Paano kung hindi akma ang materyal sa mismong proyektong inaakda sa pagsunod na tradisyonal nitong anyo? Dapat bang banggitin ang wakas sa dulo? O hindi dapat banggitin hanggang dulo? Ang kuwentong ito ay pagsubok ng manunulat na basagin ang kaniyang sariling paraan ng pagkukuwento at pag-aangkop ng materyal sa napiling estilo.

Hnf4Α Isoforms Regulate The Circadian Balance Between Carbohydrate And Lipid Metabolism In The Liver, Jonathan R Deans, Poonamjot Deol, Nina Titova, Sarah H Radi, Linh M Vuong, Jane R Evans, Songqin Pan, Johannes Fahrmann, Jun Yang, Bruce D Hammock, Oliver Fiehn, Baharan Fekry, Kristin Eckel-Mahan, Frances M Sladek

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4α (HNF4α), a master regulator of hepatocyte differentiation, is regulated by two promoters (P1 and P2) which drive the expression of different isoforms. P1-HNF4α is the major isoform in the adult liver while P2-HNF4α is thought to be expressed only in fetal liver and liver cancer. Here, we show that P2-HNF4α is indeed expressed in the normal adult liver at Zeitgeber time (ZT)9 and ZT21. Using exon swap mice that express only P2-HNF4α we show that this isoform orchestrates a distinct transcriptome and metabolome via unique chromatin and protein-protein interactions, including with different clock proteins at different …

“A Joyous And Frightening Shock”, David W. Jardine

Journal of Contemplative and Holistic Education

This paper uses several photographs to focus on a hermeneutic exploration of several terms that have become used in contemplative or holistic education circles: mystery, elusiveness, miracles, energy, and aliveness. It ends with brief thoughts on the presence of my 22-month-old grandson on various ventures -- gardening, seeing and hearing birds nearby, feeling captivated by the Earth -- that his grandfather knows well.

Diaryl Oxazoles As Cleavable Linkers For Drug Discovery Platforms, Elizabeth Taggart

Honors Theses

Within the field of medicine and pharmacology, discovering small molecule or biologic based molecules with therapeutic potential is a difficult task. Current methods involve individually screening hundreds of compounds on a potential target biomolecule, and recent technologies have explored peptide encoded libraries (PELs) as a means of making this screening process more high-throughput. These libraries produce a large number of small molecule drug candidates each conjugated to a unique peptide fragment, functioning as a barcode. Analysis of PELs requires the capture of hit small molecules and the subsequent release of their peptide tags; however, current approaches are limited in their …

Illustrating Philosophy: Comments On Thomas Wartenberg's Thoughtful Images, Elisabeth Schellekens

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

This short paper focuses on Thomas Wartenberg’s Thoughtful Images (OUP 2022) and offers a critical discussion of some of the book’s main claims. Of particular interest is the notion described by Wartenberg as “concept-based illustration” and the prospects of this kind of illustration to successfully represent a philosophical concept or theory. Among the questions raised, we find “What is required for an artwork to represent a philosophical claim?”, “Which norms should govern successful illustrations?”, and “How detailed can the content of a concept-based illustration be?”.

Plasma Exchange Reduces Aβ Levels In Plasma And Decreases Amyloid Plaques In The Brain In A Mouse Model Of Alzheimer's Disease, Santiago Ramirez, Suelyn Koerich, Natalia Astudillo, Nicole De Gregorio, Rabab Al-Lahham, Tyler Allison, Natalia Pessoa Rocha, Fei Wang, Claudio Soto

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia, characterized by the abnormal accumulation of protein aggregates in the brain, known as neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques. It is believed that an imbalance between cerebral and peripheral pools of Aβ may play a relevant role in the deposition of Aβ aggregates. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of the removal of Aβ from blood plasma on the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain. We performed monthly plasma exchange with a 5% mouse albumin solution in the APP/PS1 mouse model from 3 to 7 …

Examining The Potential Of Vitamin C Supplementation In Tissue-Engineered Equine Superficial Digital Flexor Tendon Constructs, Michael J Mienaltowski, Mitchell Callahan, Nicole L Gonzales, Angelique Wong

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Because equine tendinopathies are slow to heal and often recur, therapeutic strategies are being considered that aid tendon repair. Given the success of utilizing vitamin C to promote tenogenesis in other species, we hypothesized that vitamin C supplementation would produce dose-dependent improvements in the tenogenic properties of tendon proper (TP) and peritenon (PERI) cells of the equine superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT). Equine TP- and PERI-progenitor-cell-seeded fibrin three-dimensional constructs were supplemented with four concentrations of vitamin C. The gene expression profiles of the constructs were assessed with 3'-Tag-Seq and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR); collagen content and fibril ultrastructure …

Manifestly Unlawful: Why Russian Military Commanders Must Disobey A Nuclear Launch Order Against Ukraine, Christopher J. Hart

International Law Studies

Applying the international legal framework governing the use of nuclear weapons to the facts of the war in Ukraine leads to a clear answer to the question of whether the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine by Russia would be legal. While the 1996 International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons did not conclusively decide whether the use of nuclear weapons was per se illegal, by applying the legal framework articulated by the International Court of Justice to the facts of Russia’s war against Ukraine it is clear that any conceivable use of …

University Business Students As Charity Trustees: A Win-Win For All?, Carl Evans, Nigel Jackson

Plymouth Business School

Charities are facing a crisis in recruiting board trustees. Additionally, boards have been criticised for lacking diversity and being unrepresentative of society. The purpose of this paper is to propose a solution to the problem of trustee recruitment, by considering university business students as trustees. Through an analysis of advertised trustee jobs, the proposal is evaluated against degree subject benchmark statements. The findings identify some key person characteristics specified by charities when recruiting trustees. The generic criteria could be met by most students and many of the personal skills are developed by students while at university. However, to address some …

Suction Circuit Flushing With Chlorhexidine Decreases Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia: A Quasi-Experimental Study, Mohamed H. Eid, Monica –.Marilena Ţânţu, Jos M. Latour, Mohammed Ahmed Sultan, Nahed Attia Kandeel

School of Nursing and Midwifery

Background: Endotracheal suctioning of mechanically ventilated patients differs across the world. In many low and middle-income countries, endotracheal suctioning is often performed with a sterile suctioning catheter that is used for 12 h or during the length of one nursing shift. The effect of flushing multiple used endotracheal suction system with chlorhexidine after suctioning to reduce ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) remains unclear. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of flushing multiple-used open endotracheal suction catheters and suctioning system with chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% to reduce VAP in mechanically ventilated patients in a resource-limited Intensive Care Unit …

An Efficient Optimal Solution Method For Neutrosophic Transport Models: Analysis, Improvements, And Examples, Maissam Jdid, Florentin Smarandache

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Transport issues aim to determine the number of units that will be transferred from the production centers to consumption areas so that the cost of transportation is as low as possible, taking into account the conditions of supply and demand. Due to the great importance of these issues and to obtain more accurate results that take into account all circumstances, we conducted two research studies. In the first research, we presented a formulation of neutrosophic transport issues, and in the second research, we presented some ways to find a preliminary solution to these issues, but we do not know whether …

Prevalence, Faunal Composition, And Vertical Distribution Of Bioluminescence In The Pelagic Gulf Of Mexico: Fishes, Crustaceans, Cephalopods And Gelatinous Megaplankton, Devynne M. Brown

All HCAS Student Capstones, Theses, and Dissertations

Bioluminescence is the phenomenon of light emission by living organisms. It occurs through a chemical reaction within an organism and serves various purposes. The diversity of bioluminescent capabilities and occurrence in unrelated taxa suggest that bioluminescence has evolved independently numerous times amongst taxa thriving in certain environments. One such environment is the deep ocean, where little to no sunlight penetrates the water column, specifically in the mesopelagic (200-1000 m depth) and bathypelagic (> 1000 m) zones. The mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones have been extensively sampled and well documented in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), one of the few places globally …
