Myrtillin As A Promising Immunomodulator: Molecular Modeling And Pharmacokinetic Evaluation, Adolat Manakbayeva, Timur Kerimov, I D. Ershov, E. I. Anarkulova, Pavel Alexyuk, Y Moldakhanov, Ahdrey P. Bogoyavlenskiy, Vyacheslav Dushenkov

Publications and Research

Myrtillin, an anthocyanin found in blueberry fruits, is known for its antioxidant and potentially immunomodulatory properties. In this study, molecular docking was used to evaluate its interactions with a wide panel of immune-related proteins, including pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-17), antiinflammatory mediators (IL-4, IL-10), and signaling pathway proteins (1NFK, p52/RelB). The in silico results were supported by interaction analysis, and an ADMET analysis was conducted to assess the pharmacokinetic and toxicological profile. The findings confirm the promise of Myrtillin as a natural modulator of inflammatory responses.

Disposability And Survival: The Legal And Social Marginalization Of Black Transwomen, Rachel Still

Public Interest Law Reporter

The criminalization of Black transwomen emerges not as an incidental consequence of law but as a deliberate, structural process intertwined with a long history of racial, gendered, and class-based oppression. From the horrors of slavery to contemporary policing, the state has consistently defined and regulated Black trans bodies through a lens of disposability. This article explores the historical and contemporary forces that contribute to the marginalization and criminalization of Black transwomen, emphasizing how race, gender, and socio-economic status intersect to create a landscape of legal violence that continues to shape their lives and deaths.

The experiences of Black transwomen reveal …

The Unfulfilled Promise Of Obergefell For Children Of Lgbtq+ Parents: Advancing Non-Discrimination Laws For Familial Association, Jeffrey Dodge

Faculty Scholarship

Since the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, same-sex marriages have increased significantly in the United States. The American Community Survey data collected in 2022 shows that there are around 1.3 million same-sex couple households in the country, up from 565,000 in 2028. Just over half of these couples are legally married, up nearly 400% from prior to Obergefell. This data not only shows the significance of Obergefell for the LGBTQ+ community, but it also frames a generational shift in attitudes on marriage and family.

With the rise in same-sex couples accessing marriage has come greater visibility, representation, and acknowledgement. …

Effect Of Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy On Oxidative Stress Biomarkers And Glycemic Control In Type 2 Diabetic Patients, Eman Taha, Eman Shawki, Fady Kyrillos, Mohamed A. Al-Shahat

Mansoura Journal of Dentistry

Objective Reactive oxygen species are increasingly being linked to the pathophysiology of periodontal tissue damage. The one of the sensitive significant markers used for assessing oxidative damage in several conditions is 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8- OHdG). The current study aims to estimate the effects of non-surgical treatment for periodontal disease on the concentrations of 8-OHdG in plasma and saliva as oxidative stress biomarker, as well as its impact on glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and periodontitis. Subjects and Methods The study involved 50 nonsmoking patients. 20 T2D patients with periodontitis. 20 nondiabetic with periodontitis. 10 healthy non-diabetic without …

More Than Miscommunication: Rethinking Interpretation At The Asylum Office, Pooja R. Dadhania, Hillary Mellinger

Faculty Scholarship

The United States requires asylum applicants to provide their own interpreters for their interviews at the Asylum Office, barring exceptional circumstances. Applicants can face significant hurdles in finding suitable interpreters, who play a critical role in giving them a voice in the asylum process. Inaccurate interpretation can have serious ramifications such as denial of an applicant’s asylum claim. Despite the critical need for meaningful language access in the asylum process, interpretation at the Asylum Office remains understudied. This article represents a first attempt at bringing the scholarly and practitioner communities together to rethink interpretation at the Asylum Office, with the …

An Economic Comparison Of Succession Law Systems: Prioritizing Spouses Vs. Forced Shares For Children And Proposal For A Standards Based Approach To Child Disinheritance

Florida A & M University Law Review

In the United States (“U.S.”), the foundation of succession law is the freedom of disposition. Priority is placed on the testator’s freedom to choose what happens with their property after they die. Thus, laws governing the distribution of property in both testate and intestate situations are aimed at honoring the testator’s intent. In the U.S., spouses are given preferential treatment under succession laws and intestacy laws. However, children are not given as great a level of protection as spouses and a testator can legally disinherit a child. This approach is unique because several other countries, along with one U.S. state, …

A Quantitative Study Comparing The Effects Of Physical And Digital Mandala Coloring On Anxiety In High School Students, Amy Bainton

Art Therapy | Master's Theses

Through the frameworks of Solution-Focused School Counseling (SFSC) and art therapy, this quantitative research paper compared the potential effects of using a physical versus a digital mandala coloring page with high school students experiencing test anxiety before a final exam. Participants took part in one of two experimental tasks before taking their exam, where they either used colored pencils to color a preset mandala or used a cellphone-based website to color in a mandala digitally. Participants completed a brief pretest-posttest State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and answered an independent questionnaire to further understand their experience after artmaking. Data results were analyzed …

Mixed Methods Study On The Impact Of Coloring Mandalas On Emotional Regulation, Mindfulness, And Attachment Style In Adults, Rachel N. Faas

Art Therapy | Master's Theses

Abstract
This mixed methods study investigates the impact of coloring pre-drawn mandalas on adult emotional regulation, mindfulness, and state attachment style. Drawing from Attachment Theory and Art Therapy frameworks, the research evaluates whether adult coloring interventions—specifically structured mandala designs—can serve as accessible tools for improving psychological well-being. A sample of adult participants engaged in a mandala coloring intervention and completed pre- and post-assessments measuring emotional regulation, mindfulness, and attachment style, including qualitative interviews to capture subjective experiences. Results suggest that mandala coloring may promote increased mindfulness and adaptive emotional regulation strategies, with preliminary evidence indicating shifts toward more secure attachment …
