Analysis Of Crocetins And Safranal Variations In Saffron (Crocus Sativus) Stigma Samples And Dietary Supplements Using Hplc/Uhplc-Pda-Ms: Chemical Profiling And Chemometric Analysis Using Lc-Qtof, Kumar Katragunta, Bharathi Avula, Ya-Hong Wang, Roy Upton, Ikhlas A. Khan

Annual Poster Session 2023-2024

Saffron, the most expensive spice in the world, is comprised of dried and dark red stigma of Crocus sativus L. flowers of the Iridaceae family. It is mainly used as a spice for imparting color, fragrance, and flavor to food, but its medicinal and dyeing properties are also well known. In the United States, saffron products are used as dietary supplements for mood elevation, relaxation, weight loss, and to increase metabolism. This paper describes two analytical methods for the determination of crocetin esters, picrocrocin, and safranal in saffron samples and dietary supplements for inclusion in a monograph under development by …

More Than Ethics: Changing Approaches To Research In Human Biology, Agustín Fuentes

Human Biology Open Access Pre-Prints

Work in biological anthropology and human biology that engages with, extracts, manipulates, analyzes and disseminates biological data from and associated with people requires serious ethical investment as central to method, theory, and practice. However, ethics is not enough. Moving beyond a call for better (or more) ethics there is a core need for anthropological, historical, anti-racist/anti-colonialist method and theory in dealing with human data (existing, newly collected, and future collections). But there are structures in the academy, historical, financial, hierarchical, discriminatory, that impede sincere and effective actions to make such changes. Encouragingly, calls for structural change, and some actions entailing …

Teaching Excellence Through Mindful Reflection, Shawn R. Simonson, Megan Frary, Brittnee Earl

Kinesiology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Reflective teaching is examining one’s beliefs about teaching and learning and determining the alignment of those beliefs with what happens within your courses (Reflective Teaching, 2021). The goal is to think critically about one’s teaching to find evidence of effective teaching as well as identifying potential areas for improvement (Palmer, 2017). The tool described here is based on the Framework for Assessing Teaching Effectiveness (FATE) and is intended to help teachers develop self-reflection around teaching and objectively describe their strengths and weaknesses in a manner consistent with the evidence of their teaching practices (Simonson, Earl, and Frary, 2021; Simonson, Frary, …

The Possibility Of Cognitive Kindness, Karen Yu

Measures of Success Series

Empowering everyone’s very best thinking has perhaps never mattered more. And yet for all the value that colleges and universities place on learning and thinking, we often work in ways that are forcefully counter to this goal. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can be more cognitively kind. Across various levels and aspects of higher education, we’ll explore some ways to intentionally apply what science tells us about how our minds work to design interactions, processes, and spaces that better empower and liberate each person’s full cognitive potential. Along the way, we’ll also see how cognitive kindness can …

A Case For Hope In A Warming World, Noreen L. Herzfeld

Reuter Professorship of Science and Religion Publications

It is difficult to feel hopeful in a rapidly warming world. But hope is not just a feeling. It is an active verb, one that calls for courage, solidarity, a clear vision, and hard work. First, knowing that each fraction of a degree counts, humanity is called not to despair but to use every technology and means, technologies we already have. Second, we can be encouraged by a vision of a new world and society that works for everyone. Third, we can be heartened by nature’s resilience and an evolutionary theology that looks toward the future.

Rethinking Rights In A Disappearing Penumbra: How To Expand Upon Reproductive Rights In Court After Dobbs, Joshua J. Schroeder

New Mexico Law Review

In 2022, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org. overruled Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The Dobbs Court suggested that future cases should similarly overrule other judicially protected rights including the right to marry interracially, to access contraceptives, and to have sex the way you like. The novel grounds Dobbs used to overrule Roe and Casey that might spread to other pro-rights case law was an ad hoc Janus v. AFSCME cost-benefit balancing test. Prior to Dobbs, the liberal wing of the U.S. Supreme Court believed that the Court could use cost-benefit balancing tests to safeguard certain judicially …

A Return To Rationality: Restoring The Rule Of Law After Daubert's Disastrous U-Turn, Andrew Jurs, Scott Devito

New Mexico Law Review

Consistency and rationality are central to the legitimacy of the modern court system. Considerable recent attention has been focused on the Court’s overturning of established precedent on abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Yet, as we empirically demonstrate, the courts, through the decisions of individual judges over thirty years, have reversed the meaning of the Daubert standard for admission of scientific evidence, thereby threatening the legitimacy of the very heart of the civil justice system. In the initial years after the Daubert decision, litigants saw its reliability standard as a stricter standard than the previously used Frye “general …

The Historical Development Of The Concept Of Forced Labor And The Open Boundaries Of Its Definition Today, Christopher M. Roberts

New Mexico Law Review

This article considers the steps taken on the international level in the 1920s and 30s to define the terms through which freedom and unfreedom in the context of labor might be understood, the manner in which understandings of forced labor have subsequently evolved, and the parameters and potentials of the concept today. The first section explores the history of the 1926 Slavery Convention; the nature of coercive labor in colonized states in the inter-war period; the drafting processes and coverage of the 1930 Forced Labour Convention; the Convention’s accompanying recommendations; and subsequent developments in the legal definition of forced labor. …

Don't Swab Me!: Limitations Of The Genetic Information Privacy Act In The Modern Genetic Testing Landscape, Ibrahim Al-Gahmi

New Mexico Law Review

In an age where consumers can easily obtain genetic tests by simply sending a saliva or cheek swab sample through the mail and learn more than ever about their DNA and its genetic makeup, it is imperative that measures are established to provide consumers with both control and protection to the privacy of their submitted biological sample and analyzed genetic data. Currently, the landscape of genetic testing, and the resulting genetic information, is regulated by one law in New Mexico. The Genetic Information Privacy Act (NM-GIPA or Act), enacted in 1998, provides general prohibitions on the collection of genetic information …

Arizona V. Navajo Nation, Sarah K. Yarlott

Public Land & Resources Law Review

Arizona v. Navajo Nation clarified the United States’ trust duties to protect tribal water rights under the Winters doctrine and the 1868 Treaty with the Navajo. Under the Winters doctrine, Indian reservations are permanent homes that include an implicit reservation of water rights. However, Winters did not elaborate on the United States’ role in securing those rights. In Navajo Nation, the Court settled whether the United States has an implied duty under its trust obligations to take affirmative steps in securing water rights for tribes; the Court held no such implied duty exists.

Sackett V. Environmental Protection Agency, Meridian Wappett

Public Land & Resources Law Review

In 2007, the Sacketts began developing a property a few hundred feet from Priest Lake in Northern Idaho by filling their lot with gravel. The EPA determined the lot constituted a federally protected wetland under the WOTUS definition because the lot was near a ditch that fed into a creek flowing into Priest Lake, a navigable intrastate lake. The EPA halted the construction. The Sacketts sued the EPA, arguing the CWA did not apply to their property. The Supreme Court held that the CWA did not apply to the Sacketts property because the CWA only covers wetlands and streams that …

The Lived Experience Of Transformation In Cam Providers Trained In Trauma-Informed Care, Alane Lucht

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Public and professional awareness of the nature and consequences of psychological trauma has resulted in a greater interest in becoming trauma informed. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) providers have begun to incorporate trauma-informed care in their practices. However, there is a lack of research exploring how training in trauma-informed care (TIC) personally and professionally transforms CAM providers. This descriptive phenomenological study explored the lived experience of transformation in CAM providers who participated in TIC training. Transformative learning theory (TLT) was used as the conceptual framework. Nine participants were interviewed, and their experiences of personal and professional transformation were analyzed using …

A Thematic Analysis Of The Experiences Of Black Female Coaches’ Evolution In Women’S College Basketball, Jessica E. Jones

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

According to the NCAA Demographics database, among the Division I, Division II, and Division III teams' women's basketball rosters for the 2020-2021 season, Black women only held 12% of head coaching positions, while White women held 45% of head coaching positions. The statistics should raise concern as Black and other female athletes of color make up 50% of NCAA's basketball rosters across all three divisions but they do not transition into coaching or leadership positions.

The current study explored the lived experiences of Black female coaches in NCAA women's basketball, including their career advancement, experiences as coaches, and their perception …

The Unwelcoming Bench: Understanding Hostile Architecture’S Potential Legal Issues, Jenna Rosenstein

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice (ERSJ) Blog

On January 12, 2024, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson to resolve the issue of whether an Oregon city’s regulation on public camping constitutes “cruel and unusual” punishment under the Eighth Amendment. The City of Grants Pass enacted three different ordinances that “prohibit sleeping on public sidewalks or streets and camping on streets, parks, or other publicly owned property.” If violated, the offender is “subject to civil citations and can be barred from entering a city park for 30 days. The challengers, three unhoused city residents, sought to block the …

Bioethics As A Dynamic Issue: Holistic Approaches To Understanding And Applying Ethics To Study Design, Taiye Winful

Human Biology Open Access Pre-Prints

Anthropologists have challenged bioethicists to incorporate more holistic approaches to applying ethics in ‘real world’ situations. Where bioethicists tend to use systematic philosophical approaches to moral dilemmas, anthropologists apply malleable approaches designed to be responsive to variable cultural contexts. For example, anthropologists emphasize the importance of community and the effects of social issues, political economy, and cultural tradition in decision-making. This difference in approach contributes to the contentious relationship between anthropologists and bioethicists. Despite nuanced perspectives, anthropologists have not enjoyed a durable role in shaping contemporary bioethics.

The lack of nuance becomes problematic when researchers attempt to reconcile ethical issues …
