Claiming The City: Co-Operation And Making The Deal In Urban Comprehensive Land Claims Negotiations In Canada, Christopher Alcantara, Jen Nelles Sep 2009

Claiming The City: Co-Operation And Making The Deal In Urban Comprehensive Land Claims Negotiations In Canada, Christopher Alcantara, Jen Nelles

Political Science Faculty Publications

Since their introduction in 1973, comprehensive land claims (CLC) agreements have become important mechanisms for Aboriginal peoples to achieve their political, social, cultural, and economic goals. Although the literature on CLC negotiations is a rich and varied one, it has tended to ignore the role that municipal governments have on influencing negotiation outcomes. This lacuna is surprising since a number of treaty negotiations in the Yukon Territory and BC involve lands located in major municipalities. This paper develops a theoretical framework for understanding the influence that municipal governments can have on treaty negotiation outcomes. Using a case study of the …

Mapping Race: Historicizing The History Of The Color-Line, Ryan Irwin Sep 2009

Mapping Race: Historicizing The History Of The Color-Line, Ryan Irwin

History Faculty Scholarship

This study examines scholarship about the global color-line. It unfolds in two sections. The first traces how understandings of race and racism were encoded within university environments in the mid-twentieth century. The second shows how this epistemology influenced early academic comparisons of the United States and South Africa in the 1980s and why the literature diversified in the post-apartheid era.

Highlighted are recent developments and advances in research and policy issues on animal abuse. The reader is directed to existing reviews of research and areas of focus on the expanding horizon of empirical analyses and programmatic innovations addressing animal abuse.

An Examination Of Chimpanzee Use In Human Cancer Research, Jarrod Bailey Sep 2009

An Examination Of Chimpanzee Use In Human Cancer Research, Jarrod Bailey

Laboratory Experiments Collection

Advocates of chimpanzee research claim the genetic similarity of humans and chimpanzees make them an indispensable research tool to combat human diseases. Given that cancer is a leading cause of human death worldwide, one might expect that if chimpanzees were needed for, or were productive in, cancer research, then they would have been widely used. This comprehensive literature analysis reveals that chimpanzees have scarcely been used in any form of cancer research, and that chimpanzee tumours are extremely rare and biologically different from human cancers. Often, chimpanzee citations described peripheral use of chimpanzee cells and genetic material in predominantly human …

How The Malaysian Chinese View Their Malay Counterparts: A Version Of Accepting Others, K.C. Hei, J. Mohd Ali Sep 2009

How The Malaysian Chinese View Their Malay Counterparts: A Version Of Accepting Others, K.C. Hei, J. Mohd Ali

Research Publications (2006 to 2010)

A change in the political landscape of Malaysia has been emerging in a gradual manner, for the past few months, since the new premiership in March, 2009. After more than 51 years of independence, it became apparent that the ruling Malaysian government, Barisan Nasional, is not taking things in this country for granted. A number of things can be attributed to this change. First, it was the taking over of five (since 2009) Malaysian states by the opposition party, Pakatan Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) after the March 8, 2009 election. The states of Selangor, Kedah, Pulau Pinang, Kelantan, and until recently, …

Small In Scale, Big In Possibilities: Wayne State Researcher Develops Nano- And Micro-Scale Devices For Improved Medical Practices, Amy Oprean Sep 2009

Small In Scale, Big In Possibilities: Wayne State Researcher Develops Nano- And Micro-Scale Devices For Improved Medical Practices, Amy Oprean

New Science

The stethoscope is a longstanding symbol of the medical profession, having been used by doctors for more than two centuries to obtain basic vital signs through listening to the heart and respiratory noises. Although it is a fundamental part of almost every medical exam and surgical procedure, stethoscopes have several major disadvantages. Among these is the inability to give continuous readings and a bulky size that prevents their use in some situations. Yong Xu, Ph.D., associate professor of electrical and computer engineering in the College of Engineering, received a National Science Foundation CAREER award, a prestigious award given to promising …

'Roots Run Deep Here': The Construction Of Black New Orleans In Post-Katrina Tourism Narratives, Lynnell L. Thomas Sep 2009

'Roots Run Deep Here': The Construction Of Black New Orleans In Post-Katrina Tourism Narratives, Lynnell L. Thomas

American Studies Faculty Publication Series

This article explores the emergent post-Katrina tourism narrative and its ambivalent racialization of the city. Tourism officials are compelled to acknowledge a New Orleans outside the traditional tourist boundaries – primarily black, often poor, and still largely neglected by the city and national governments. On the other hand, tourism promoters do not relinquish (and do not allow tourists to relinquish) the myths of racial exoticism and white supremacist desire for a construction of blacks as artistically talented but socially inferior.

Economic Stress And Domestic Violence, Claire M. Renzetti Sep 2009

Economic Stress And Domestic Violence, Claire M. Renzetti

CRVAW Faculty Research Reports and Papers

The severe economic recession that began in December 2007 has renewed interest in the relationship between economic stress and domestic violence (DV). Although analyses of current financial statistics in relation to reported DV incidents have yet to be completed, a sizable body of research that examines various economic indicators provides a framework for understanding how economic stress may contribute to DV. At the same time, available research indicates that DV may also produce financial hardship for DV victims. This paper reviews the research on the reciprocal economic stressóDV relationship, focusing in particular on employment issues; social support networks; physical and …

Alfonso X, St. James, And The Virgin, Anthony Cárdenas-Rotunno Sep 2009

Alfonso X, St. James, And The Virgin, Anthony Cárdenas-Rotunno

Research Papers

This study explores how pilgrimage connects to the political Weltanschuung of Alfonso X, born in 1221-1284, especially as concerns the perceived rivalry between the shrine of Mary at Villa-Sirga and of Santiago at Compostela. By reviewing Alfonsos pragmatism behind all of the works he sponsored, by viewing the relationship between the Mother of God and St. James, by focusing on miracles in the Cantigas de Santa Maria, and especially viewing Alfonso's creation of a military order dedicated to the Virgin, it concludes that perceived rivalry between the two shrines was exclusively popular and not regal as proposed by some.'

Department of Earth, Environment and Sustainability Faculty Publications

Understanding the evolution of humans and our close relatives is one of the enduring scientific issues of modern times. Since the time of Charles Darwin, scientists have speculated on how and when we evolved and what conditions drove this evolutionary story. The detective work required to address these questions is necessarily interdisciplinary, involving research in anthropology, archaeology, human genetics and genomics, and the earth sciences. In addition to the difficult tasks of finding, describing, and interpreting hominin fossils (the taxonomic tribe which includes Homo sapiens and our close fossil relatives from the last 6 Ma), much of modern geological research …

Blue Cohosh: History, Science, Safety, And Midwife Prescribing Of A Potentially Fetotoxic Herb, Aviva Romm

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Abstract: Blue Cohosh: Science, Safety, And Patterns of Midwife Prescribing Of A Potentially Fetotoxic Herb Aviva Jill Romm (Sponsored by Errol Norwitz) Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Yale University School of Medicine Background: Blue cohosh (Caulopyhyllum thalictroides) has been used traditionally and historically as an obstetric aid for labor induction, to assure a prompt delivery, to relieve childbirth pain, and to induce abortion. Officially listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia from 1882-1905 and in the National Formulary from 1916-1950 for labor induction, its use remains popular. Maternal ingestion has been implicated in acute nicotinic toxicity, neonatal heart failure, perinatal stroke, …
