Regarding The Centrality Of The Covenant Motif In Heinrich Bullinger’S Theological Thought, Isaias D'Oleo Ochoa

CTS Student Publications and Creative Works

This article offers some statistics from Heinrich Bullinger’s The Decades with a brief analysis as evidence that Bullinger must be understood as the forerunner, not the father, of federal theology, since his discussion of the covenant doctrine is limited, inconsistent, exploratory, and slightly integrated with the rest of his theological thought.

Comparing L2 Learning Outcomes In Traditional And English As Alingua Franca Study Abroad Contexts, Judith Borrás Andrés

Artículos científicos

The number of students embarking on a study abroad experiencecontinues to grow steadily. A new setting for study abroad in Englishhas developed recently where students may be studying in anenvironment where English is used as a lingua franca but is not anofficial language of the country. This setting is referred to as English asa lingua franca study abroad or ELFSA (Köylü 2016). The present studyexplores the outcomes that may arise from participating in an ELFSAprogramme and it compares the merits of this type of context to thosearising from traditional, anglophone settings. Using a written task and aproficiency test, the L2 …

Revision As Protecting What Is Important, Cruz Medina

English

This is a story about drafting and revising an article manuscript for an ill-fitting “top-tier” journal while trying to protect the important student writing at the heart of the piece. In 2015, I began researching the translingual practices of multilingual students in a first-year composition (FYC) course at my Bay Area university. When I submitted the manuscript to an National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) journal, I revised the format of the manuscript for a more empirical model in line with the journal’s guidelines, and the manuscript was ultimately rejected after revision and resubmission. Even though I had envisioned …

The "State Of Art": Evolutionary Ethics In Thomas Hardy's Tess Of The D' Urbervilles, Brooks Lampe

Faculty Publications - Department of English

What was literary naturalism? One might be tempted to say it was an experiment in fiction (at least in Europe), eventually absorbed into its more successful sibling, Realism. Or one might argue it was a seminal movement which has been misunderstood and read reductively as depicting humans as passive pawns in an indifferent world. Beyond this obstacle of perceived one-dimensionality, there is the less obvious but equally challenging charge that naturalism was, at bottom, a propagandistic genre, appropriating, as Keith Newlin suggests, melodrama for the purpose of persuading readers to "redress social imbalance" ( 4). Finally, there is the muddiness …

Gender Pay Gap In Kyrgyz Republic, Maryam Yari

Theses - Graduate Programs in Economic Theory and Policy

The reasons behind the gender wage disparity in the Kyrgyz Republic are investigated in this paper using information from the 2019 Life in Kyrgyzstan (LiK) survey. Given its transitioning economy and post-Soviet socioeconomic environment, Kyrgyzstan offers a special case within the larger framework of gender wage gaps worldwide. The pay disparity is broken down in this research into explainable variations based on observable characteristics and an unexplained component that might be discriminatory using the Heckman and Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition approach. The results indicate the existence of gender discrimination in wage determination since a large amount of the gender wage gap is …

Association Between Fine Particulate Matter And Eczema: A Cross-Sectional Study Of The All Of Us Research Program And The Center For Air, Climate, And Energy Solutions, Gloria Chen

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

A chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by disruption of the epidermal barrier, eczema has increased in prevalence in tandem with industrialization. Ambient air pollution is a ubiquitous exposure resulting from industrial processes that includes fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter measuring less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5). Studies on the potential association between PM2.5 and eczema have produced conflicting results. The objective of this study was to determine the risk of eczema with exposure to PM2.5 in a diverse national cohort of American adults.

In this cross-sectional study, eczema cases were identified via electronic health records (EHR) in the All of …

Implications Of Acute Brain Injury Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement, Daniel Grubman

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Stroke is a feared complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), affecting 2–8% of patients at 30 days. Beyond clinically evident stroke, covert brain injury (CBI) defined as clinically silent evidence of brain injury on imaging is strikingly prevalent: 70–100% of patients have evidence of new infarcts on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI). The clinical significance of these lesions is unknown. Recent guidance has highlighted the importance of imaging in the assessment of cerebral embolic protection (CEP) devices that aim to counter the debris generated during TAVR. This work aims to a) determine the clinical significance of new ischemic lesions, …

Latent Health Status Trajectory Modelling In Patients With Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease, Scott Grubman

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

For patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and symptoms of intermittent claudication, treatment is geared towards maximizing health status and minimizing disease progression. We aimed to phenotype health status trajectories over the first 12 months of specialty care and examine factors associated with nonresponsiveness to treatment. Adults with new or worsening exertional leg symptoms presenting to vascular clinics in the United States, Australia, and Netherlands 2011-2015 were included. Patients with non-compressible ankle-brachial index, critical limb ischemia, barriers to consent, or lacking at least one follow-up interview were excluded. The Peripheral Artery Questionnaire (PAQ; range 0-100, higher = better) was used …

Cerebral Arachnoid Cysts Are Radiographic Harbingers Of Epigenetics Defects In Neurodevelopment, Kedous Mekbib

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Cerebral arachnoid cysts (ACs) are the most common space-occupying lesion of thehuman brain but we know very little about its pathogenesis and association with other neurological phenotypes complicating clinical management.

To better understand AC pathogenesis and clinical presentation, we conducted wholeexomesequencing of 617 patient-parent trios, analysis of human brain and mouse meningeal single-cell RNA sequencing and natural language processing of patient medical records, the largest and only integrative genomic study of ACs to date.

We found seven genes: ADNP, ARID1B, KDM5C, PURA, FOXP1, MAP2K1 andSCN2A, had an exome-wide statistically significant burden of de novo variants. Our AC candidate genes were …

Current procedural terminology (CPT) codes were used to identify 260 patients 18 …

Illness Perception And The Impact Of A Definitive Diagnosis On Women With Ischemia And No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: A Qualitative Study, Leslie Yingzhijie Tseng

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Background: Ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) disproportionately impacts women, yet the underlying pathologies are often not distinguished, contributing to adverse health care experiences and poor quality of life. Coronary function testing at the time of invasive coronary angiography allows for improved diagnostic accuracy. Despite increased recognition of INOCA and expanding access to testing, data lack on first-person perspectives and the impact of receiving a diagnosis in women with INOCA.Methods: From 2020 to 2021, we conducted structured telephone interviews with 2 groups of women with INOCA who underwent invasive coronary angiography (n=29) at Yale New Haven Hospital, New …

Survival Outcomes In T3 Laryngeal Cancer Based On Staging Features At Diagnosis, Vickie Jiaying Wang

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Stage T3 laryngeal cancer is defined by the presence of vocal cord fixation and/or invasion into any of the following: pre-epiglottic space, paraglottic fat, post-cricoid space, or inner cortex of the thyroid cartilage. These cancers are usually treated with chemoradiation rather than upfront total laryngectomy. To our knowledge, no studies have directly compared differences in survival among the varied features within the T3 staging category. This study aims to determine how the presence of each of these staging features impacts overall and laryngectomy-free survival.Patients with clinically-diagnosed T3 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma seen at our institution between 2010-2021 were retrospectively identified. …

Measuring And Modelling Functional Moat Area In Perennially Ice-Covered Lake Fryxell, Antarctica, Michael S. Stone, Mark R. Salvatore, Hilary A. Dugan, Madeline E. Myers, Peter T. Doran

Faculty Publications

The perennially ice-covered lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs), Antarctica, are an important reservoir of liquid water in an arid and largely frozen environment. During the austral summer, the margins of these ice covers melt, forming a “moat” of liquid water and thin ice, allowing exchange between lake waters and the atmosphere to occur and serving as an interface between lake, soil, and stream ecosystems. The size of these moats varies from year to year. Here, we have established the first published record of moat area changes at MDVs’ Lake Fryxell through time using manual traces of the moat …

Contribution Of Campaign Gnss Toward Parsing Subsidence Rates By Time And Depth In Coastal Bangladesh, Michael S. Steckler, Md Hasnat Jaman, Céline Jo Grall, Steven L. Goodbred, Carol A. Wilson, Bar Oryan

Faculty Publications

Coastal regions are vulnerable to rising seas, increasing storm magnitude, and decimation of ecologically-fragile areas. Deltas are particularly sensitive to the balance between sea-level rise, land subsidence and sedimentation that determine relative elevation. Bangladesh has been highlighted as being at risk from sea-level rise. Integrating measurements from different methods can approach a more complete understanding of factors controlling areally and temporally varying subsidence rates. To augment our compilation of rates from stratigraphic wells, historic buildings, vertical strainmeters, RSET-MH, and continuous Global Navigation Satellite System, we resurveyed 48 geodetic monuments in coastal Bangladesh ∼18 years after the monuments were installed. A …

The Innocence Standard: Supreme Court Nominees And Sexual Misconduct, Lisa Avalos

Journal Articles

Should the United States Senate allow judicial nominees who have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct to be seated on the Supreme Court? How should we handle these allegations when they arise during the vetting process? Despite the importance of these questions, lawmakers have failed to address them.

The contentious Clarence Thomas hearings in 1991 featured testimony from Professor Anita Hill and did much to raise Americans' awareness about the prevalence of sexual misconduct in the workplace. Although ProfessorHill subsequently calledfor the Senate to implement aprocess for addressing future sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominees, her calls have gone …

The Struggle For Eudaemonia: The Eugenics Movement In Psychology And Community Resistance In Connecticut, Eve Galanis

Academic Articles

Throughout the twentieth century, the eugenics movement dominated medical discourses in the state of Connecticut. From deportations, coerced institutionalizations and sterilizations, to proposed executions of people with mental illness, eugenic policies were deployed in an attempt to control and direct populations. The state collaborated with academic institutions like Yale University, and agencies like The Eugenics Record Office at Cold Spring Harbor, to endorse pseudo-scientific techniques of surveilling and administering bodies across intersecting lines of race, ability, gender, sexuality, class, and citizenship status. This research examines the biopolitics of eugenics and the contest for economic, geographic, social, and ideological space. Using …

Outsourcing Self-Regulation, Marsha Griggs

Washington and Lee Law Review

Answerable only to the courts that have the sole authority to grant or withhold the right to practice law, lawyers operate under a system of self-regulation. The self-regulated legal profession staunchly resists external interference from the legislative and administrative branches of government. Yet, with the same fervor that the legal profession defies non-judicial oversight, it has subordinated itself to the controlling influence of a private interest. By outsourcing the mechanisms that dictate admission to the bar, the legal profession has all but surrendered control of the most crucial component of its gatekeeping function to an unregulated industry that profits at …

Defense Against The Dark Arts: The Diversity Rationale And The Failed Affirmative Defense Of Affirmative Action, Sheldon Bernard Lyke

Washington and Lee Law Review

Over the past forty years, affirmative action advocates have participated in a defensive campaign where they have admitted that affirmative action is a form of justified discrimination. This Article finds this a dangerous strategy because it allows for the practice of misguided beliefs about race and remedies for racism. When schools fail to fight the pernicious perception that affirmative action is a racial preference, they allow the bulk of society to participate in the belief that there are no other remedial justifications for affirmative action—like remedying an institution’s history of discrimination, or curing a school’s present and ongoing discrimination by …

Comment: Protecting Childhood Independence And The Families Who Embrace It, David Pimentel

Washington and Lee Law Review

The legal problem of how to give parents flexibility and how to give children independence cuts to the core of some of our most sacred values: (1) how we raise our kids in this society, (2) the degree to which parents are free to raise their children as they see fit, and (3) the extent to which the state gets to substitute its own judgment for that of parents. Incursions into the family, and disruptions of family security and integrity, should be the exception rather than the rule. Schick-Malone joins a small group of legal scholars who are not content …

Assessing State Invasive Species Schemes Through The Lens Of The Spotted Lanternfly, Susanna Clark

William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review

Invasive species have long presented an issue across the United States, and continue to do so. They have become more prevalent as the world has become more interconnected. Nonnative species are not always invasive, but many of them are. A somewhat recently introduced invasive species, the spotted lanternfly, has proven to be especially destructive and will put current invasive species laws to the test. The federal government does have some laws on the books regarding invasive species, but much of the legislation and subsequent regulations can be found at the state level. No two states have the same legal and …
