Critical Edition: A Commentary Upon The Prophecie Of Isaiah, Grace Weaver Dec 2023

Critical Edition: A Commentary Upon The Prophecie Of Isaiah, Grace Weaver

University Honors Papers

A Commentary Upon the Prophecie of Isaiah, written by John Calvin, was first published in French in 1551. John Calvin (b. 7.10.1509 in France; d. 5.27.1564 in Geneva) was a prominent protestant reformer in Europe. Throughout his life, he published apologies and commentaries on many biblical books and religious texts, and became a notorious figurehead of the time. As a significantly controversial figure, Calvin and his work faced censorship and ridicule by Catholics outraged at the growing Christian Reformation of the 16th Century. A little over seven years after its initial publication, a second edition of A Commentary Upon the …

Tikaram And Chandrakala Dhananjaya: A Collaborative Couple In Mathematics From Nepal, Deepak Basyal, Brigitte Stenhouse Dec 2023

Tikaram And Chandrakala Dhananjaya: A Collaborative Couple In Mathematics From Nepal, Deepak Basyal, Brigitte Stenhouse

Mathematics and Statistics

Within the history of mathematics and mathematics education in Nepal, Tikaram and Chandrakala Dhananjaya are relatively well-known figures for their two books Śiśubodha Taraṅgiṇī and Līlāvatī. This is despite there being almost no archival or manuscript materials offering a window into their lives: we have no letters, notebooks, diaries, or school records. Rather than focusing on either individual in isolation, in this article we present an argument for considering the Dhananjayas as an analytically indivisible collaborative couple in mathematics. Of the two aforementioned books, one is attributed to Chandrakala and the other to Tikaram; but in fact, both are translations …

A Pilot Study In Healthcare: Salivary Cortisol Levels And Burnout, Hannah Oggerino Dec 2023

A Pilot Study In Healthcare: Salivary Cortisol Levels And Burnout, Hannah Oggerino

Graduate Theses & Non-Theses

This pilot study investigated levels of burnout in non-clinical workers in a healthcare setting and compared them to salivary cortisol concentrations. Mashlach’s Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS(MP)) was used to evaluate self-perceived levels of burnout and saliva samples were collected to determine cortisol concentrations at four times during participants’ shift. The study was comprised of subjects exposed to multiple high-stress factors, including working in a healthcare setting, post-COVID ramifications, and demographic effects of Montana. The data revealed a statistically significant correlation (P-value < 0.05) between morning salivary cortisol secretion concentrations and mean survey scores. Significance (P-value < 0.05) was also found between the three dimensions measured by the MBI-HSS(MP): burnout, depersonalization, and personal achievement. The study discusses several limitations that should be considered when interpreting results. Findings do suggest that future investigation among this group is needed. Results may help guide interventions that support the mental health and wellbeing of medical support personnel, reduce stress, and avoid burnout.

Haiti: Confronting An Immense Challenge, Irwin Stotzky

University of Miami Inter-American Law Review

This article analyzes the history of Haiti, from its origins as a slave colony of France, which was the richest colony in the Americas, to its war of independence leading to the first Black independent nation in the Americas, to its economic re-enslavement under the power of France and then the United States. The article discusses the great harm the French caused the Haitian people by imposing through force a ransom of billions of dollars that has led Haiti to its present position of being on the brink of becoming a failed state, with all of the disastrous consequences for …

Unleashing The Beast: Confronting Animal Trafficking As Organized Crime In The Americas, Erick J. Wilson Dec 2023

Unleashing The Beast: Confronting Animal Trafficking As Organized Crime In The Americas, Erick J. Wilson

University of Miami Inter-American Law Review

Wildlife trafficking is a serious yet often overlooked issue across the Americas. This Note examines wildlife trafficking across the Americas, analyzing the legal frameworks and challenges facing countries like the United States, Guatemala, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, and Brazil. Three key obstacles emerge: the lack of recognition of trafficking as organized crime, limited resources for enforcement, and deficient penalties. Though the United States has laws like the Lacey Act to address importation of illegally traded wildlife, weak foreign laws constrain efficacy. Many Latin American nations do not categorize wildlife trafficking as organized crime, despite its intricate parallels with activities like drug …

Single-Nuclei Resolution Kidney Profiling In Physiological And Disease Settings, Ruiyang Liu Dec 2023

Single-Nuclei Resolution Kidney Profiling In Physiological And Disease Settings, Ruiyang Liu

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

The kidney is a critical organ responsible for the maintenance of fluid, electrolyte and metabolites in the body. Recent advancements in kidney research, including the use of single-nuclei RNA Sequencing (snRNA-Seq), have uncovered a complex landscape that encompasses both physiological and pathological conditions. The scope of my thesis covers two important aspects: (1) the exploration of kidney sexual dimorphism, (2) a detailed investigation of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the molecular regulation of kidney sexual dimorphism, we integrated single nucleus RNA and ATAC sequencing (snRNA-Seq and snATAC-Seq) and Visium spatial transcriptomics (ST) data to build …

Restating The Civil Law Of Quasi-Contract: Negotiorum Gestio And Unjust Enrichment, Nikolaos A. Davrados Dec 2023

Restating The Civil Law Of Quasi-Contract: Negotiorum Gestio And Unjust Enrichment, Nikolaos A. Davrados

Journal of Civil Law Studies

This Article restates the Louisiana civil law of negotiorum gestio and unjust enrichment, one decade after the common-law Third Restatement of Restitution and Unjust Enrichment. The Article first redefines and re-designates the term "quasi-contract" from a false source of obligations to a valid practical term describing the two separate institutions of negotiorum gestio and unjust enrichment. Based on this renewed understanding of quasi-contract, the Article proceeds to a detailed commentary on the revised Louisiana law of negotiorum gestio and unjust enrichment (which includes the special action for payment of a thing not due and the general action for enrichment without …

No Trespassing: The Legal Origins Of Louisiana’S Water Access Dispute, Karly Kyzar Dorr Dec 2023

No Trespassing: The Legal Origins Of Louisiana’S Water Access Dispute, Karly Kyzar Dorr

Journal of Civil Law Studies

Since the birth of the civil law tradition, the public’s right to access and use running waters has been recognized and protected through written legal sources, statutes, and codes. However, although the State of Louisiana is often lauded as the “Sportsman’s Paradise,” the current judicial interpretation of water access rights has restricted the public’s ability to use waterways, in particular running waters, for recreational pursuits such as fishing and hunting. The purpose of this essay is first to highlight the trajectory of the development of the law relative to the public’s right to access and use running waters. The analysis …

The 2020 Revision Of The Puerto Rican Civil Code: A Brief Explanation Of Major Changes, Luis Muñiz-Argüelles

Journal of Civil Law Studies

Puerto Rico is with Louisiana one of the two United States jurisdictions having kept the civil law tradition as the bedrock of its private law. One of the last Spanish colonies, Puerto Rico became a US Territory in 1899. The Spanish Civil Code was replaced by a Puerto Rican Civil Code in 1930. A revision process spanned over a period of 23 years, ending with the adoption of a new Civil Code in 2020. After a presentation of the revision process, this report presents and discusses the changes and innovations in family law, property, contractual obligations, torts, and successions, also …

Whose Library Is It? A Youth Participatory Action Research Study Examining School Libraries As Culturally Sustaining Environments From The Students' Perspectives, Salamah Adjoua-Mullen Dec 2023

Whose Library Is It? A Youth Participatory Action Research Study Examining School Libraries As Culturally Sustaining Environments From The Students' Perspectives, Salamah Adjoua-Mullen

Theses & Dissertations

Traditionally, school libraries are assumed to be spaces of positivity and inclusion free from bias and discrimination. However, school libraries have not remained untouched by harmful school policies and state educational laws. Recently, new policies and laws have begun to restrict the role of librarians and library spaces are continuously being eliminated from school districts across the United Sates. One issue is the library profession has examined the library as a room but not the concept of what a library space is or can be. One approach to addressing this gap is by examining school libraries through the lens of …

Self-Discrepancies In Mind Perception For Actual, Ideal, And Ought Selves And Partners, Oliver L. Jacobs, Farid Pazhoohi, Alan Kingstone Dec 2023

Self-Discrepancies In Mind Perception For Actual, Ideal, And Ought Selves And Partners, Oliver L. Jacobs, Farid Pazhoohi, Alan Kingstone

School of Psychology

Defining and measuring self-discrepancies in mind perception between how an individual sees their actual self in comparison to their ideal or ought self has a long but challenging history in psychology. Here we present a new approach for measuring and operationalizing discrepancies of mind by employing the mind perception framework that has been applied successfully to a variety of other psychological constructs. Across two studies (N = 265, N = 205), participants were recruited online to fill in a modified version of the mind perception survey with questions pertaining to three domains (actual, ideal, ought) and two agents (self versus …

School of Graduate Studies Faculty Publications

The thioredoxin (TXN) system is an NADPH + H+/FAD redox-triggered effector that sustains homeostasis, bioenergetics, detoxifying drug networks, and cell survival in oxidative stress-related diseases. Elovanoid (ELV)-N34 is an endogenously formed lipid mediator in neural cells from omega-3 fatty acid precursors that modulate neuroinflammation and senescence gene programming when reduction-oxidation (redox) homeostasis is disrupted, enhancing cell survival. Limited proteolysis (LiP) screening of human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells identified TXNRD1 isoforms 2, 3, or 5, the reductase of the TXN system, as an intracellular target of ELV-N34. TXNRD1 silencing confirmed that the ELV-N34 target was isoform 2 or 3. This …

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of nitrogen gas into ammonia. Nitrogenase is tightly inhibited by the environmental gas carbon monoxide (CO). Many nitrogen fixing bacteria protect nitrogenase from CO inhibition using the protective protein CowN. This work demonstrates that a conserved glutamic acid residue near the C-terminus of Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus CowN is necessary for its function. Mutation of the glutamic acid residue abolishes both CowN’s protection against CO inhibition and the ability of CowN to bind to nitrogenase. In contrast, a conserved C-terminal cysteine residue is not important for CO protection by CowN. Overall, this work …
