Practically Pooh In Every Way: A Look At Disney's Effect On Winnie-The-Pooh Pre- And Post- Public Domain, Peyton Poitras
Honors Program Theses
On Jan. 1, 2022, A.A. Milne’s willy, nilly, silly old bear entered the public domain, but this paper will argue why Disney's version will most likely retain its longevity despite additional competition. Disney's franchise-ation of Winnie the Pooh has left their iteration of the bear at the forefront of audience's minds. While Disney's version retains its iconic image of the bear, however, the release of the character into the public domain will allow others to utilize the bear in new ways. Such opens the door to a new question: How should characters be treated after entering the public domain? This …
Adjusting The Focus: Addressing Privacy Concerns Raised By Police Body-Camera Footage, Dalton Primeaux
Adjusting The Focus: Addressing Privacy Concerns Raised By Police Body-Camera Footage, Dalton Primeaux
City University of New York Law Review
Many public safety advocates have called for the use of police body cameras to document the interactions between officers and the public. In light of the documented incidents of police violence and misconduct, some advocates and policy experts have urged law enforcement to use body cameras to discourage future wrongdoing and create a record of when such incidents do happen. In some states, body camera footage is considered public record and can be obtained upon request. Most policies concerning requests for the release of body camera footage require the chief of police to grant permission for sharing the video with …
Freedom Of The Press In Hungary & The United States: A Comparative Review, Zane Mcneill, Riley Clare Valentine
Freedom Of The Press In Hungary & The United States: A Comparative Review, Zane Mcneill, Riley Clare Valentine
City University of New York Law Review
This paper compares both Hungary’s and the United States’ treatment of journalists’ freedom of expression and freedom of speech. Journalists in both Hungary and the United States face specific threats to these freedoms. Journalists face political pressure in Hungary and animosity and scrutiny in the United States under private consolidation. Additionally, coverage that is critical of the state and supports marginalized communities faces heightened scrutiny. Nonetheless, we contend that journalists within the United States have potential options in protecting their freedom of expression such as those indicated in Rodriguez-Cotto v. Pierluisi-Urrutia.

Biodistribution Analysis Of Peptide-Coated Magnetic Iron Nanoparticles: A Simple And Quantitative Method, Pavithra Natarajan, Katherine Horak, Jennifer Rowe, Sungmin Yoon, Joshua Lingo, John M. Tomich, Sherry D. Fleming
United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications
Biodistribution tracks compounds or molecules of interest in vivo to understand a compound’s anticipated efficacy and safety. Nanoparticles deliver nucleic acid and drug payloads and enhance tumor permeability due to multiple properties such as high surface area to volume ratio, surface functionalization, and modifications. Studying the in vivo biodistribution of nanoparticles documents the effectiveness and safety of nanoparticles and facilitates a more application-driven approach for nanoparticle development that allows for more successful translation into clinical use. In this study, we present a relatively simple method to determine the biodistribution of magnetic iron nanoparticles in mice. In vitro, cells take up …

Coattailing For Regime Continuity?: Unraveling Duterte's Legacy In Marcos Jr.'S 2022 Electoral Victory, Gabrielle Ann S. Mendoza, Imelda B. Deinla, Cristine Lian C. Domingo, Jurel K. Yap
Ateneo School of Government Publications
The electoral victory of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has been attributed to a range of factors such as misinformation, patronage, and populism. We argue that Marcos’ electoral victory should not be treated as an isolated instantaneous event, but rather a result of a shift in the country's political narrative due to the legacy of his predecessor. The shift to illiberal populism is tied to the public's continued support for Duterte's flagship policies as well as in the proliferation of populist rhetoric on social media. Using a non-probability survey of 1500 Filipinos, we find that support for President Duterte and his …

Palliative And End-Of-Life Care Initiatives For People Dying From Cancer In India: A Narrative Review, Naveen Salins, Krithika Rao, Anuja Damani, Sushma Bhatnagar
Open Access archive
India is facing a growing burden of cancer, resulting in high cancer-associated mortality. However, the rise in cancer incidence is disproportionately high compared to access and provision of palliative care. This review aims to identify gaps in Indian cancer palliative care and recognises initiatives instituted to mitigate them. The narrative review was conducted using the four-step method described by Demiris et al., synthesising both empirical and non-empirical literature. A lack of capacity to provide palliative care was identified as a significant barrier. Initiatives such as setting up palliative care services in cancer treatment centres, improving community palliative care access, structured …

While the bibliography is essentially contemporary in orientation, this article also emphasizes the foundational contributions of earlier scholars in the field.
Queer Tropical Gothic: Parody, Failure, Space In Nick Joaquin’S “Gotita De Dragon”, Raymon D. Ritumban
Queer Tropical Gothic: Parody, Failure, Space In Nick Joaquin’S “Gotita De Dragon”, Raymon D. Ritumban
English Faculty Publications
The stories for children by Filipino literary master Nick Joaquin (1917-2004), when compared to his famous works, have received scant attention even though they are as masterfully written and thematically sophisticated. Out of Joaquin’s fifteen children’s stories produced between 1972 and 1983, “Gotita de Dragon” stands out for its queer tropical gothic turn. The piece is a parody of a pious legend about Saint Martha, where the titular character is on a quest to become “as big as a gothic dragon,” which subsequently renders him “in search of a virgin.” The narrative is built upon the failures of its masculine …
Religious Right Countermovement Tactics: Taking Down Lgbtq+ Rights One Letter At A Time, Hannah J. O'Connor
Religious Right Countermovement Tactics: Taking Down Lgbtq+ Rights One Letter At A Time, Hannah J. O'Connor
Political Science Honors Projects
The group we know today as the “Religious Right” (“R.R.”) has been in contention with the LGBTQ+ movement since the early 1970s. Using a single case study method, I analyze how, if at all, Religious Right framing and LGBTQ+ counter-framing evolved at a point in time where the R.R. recognized it was losing its fight against same-sex marriage. Using Arizona’s 2013 Senate Bill 1045 (one of the nation’s first bathroom bills) as a case study, I find that the Religious Right translates protectionist framing from its anti-gay marriage crusade into its anti-trans rights offensive, and the LGBTQ+ movement also responds …

Teachers’ Perceptions Of Formative Assessment For Students With Disability: A Case Study From India, Anannya Chakraborty, Amit Kaushik
Assessment and Reporting
India has made significant progress in improving the enrolment of students with disability but still has a long way to go before schools can be called inclusive. Despite the widely acknowledged relevance of assessments in shaping teaching and learning practices, little research has been done in disability-inclusive assessment in the Indian setting. In this paper, we explore teachers’ perceptions of disability inclusion in formative assessments, including the use of various kinds of accommodations and adaptations, factors that affect the implementation of disability-inclusive formative assessments, and challenges. It is argued that teacher professional development and teacher–parent partnerships are essential for ensuring …

Digital Literacy And Veterans In Hud-Vash, Chapin Graham
Student Research Design & Innovation Symposium
People who experience homelessness (PEH) prioritize survival occupations over others. They also encounter systemic barriers to engagement, which leads to occupational deprivation. Veterans who experience homelessness (VEH) are disproportionately impacted: low-income veterans are twice as likely to become homeless than the general population. Digital technology serves as a way for people to engage with their community, participate in leisure, and use the internet to find work, a place to live, or where to eat. Many PEH have cell phones, but fewer than 50% use them for occupations outside of social participation. This literature review aimed to investigate the existing literature …
Is Smartphone Time Or Social Media Time The Real Mental Health Problem For Young Adults?, Samantha Strong, S R. Rosenthal, Kelsey Gately, Jonathan Noel
Is Smartphone Time Or Social Media Time The Real Mental Health Problem For Young Adults?, Samantha Strong, S R. Rosenthal, Kelsey Gately, Jonathan Noel
Student Research Design & Innovation Symposium
Background: While studies suggest smartphone screen time and social media time may increase the risk of poor mental health, most studies rely upon self-reports. Of the few that examine objectively measured time, they are all plagued by social desirability bias due to apps being installed on user’s phones prior to study initiation. This investigation avoids both of those methodological limitations to examine the role of smartphone and social media screen time in depression of college students. Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey of college students who own iPhones at a higher education institution in the northeast US was conducted in October …

Parent-To-Parent Support Groups, Breanna Mendell
Student Research Design & Innovation Symposium
Research suggests a lack of support for parents of children diagnosed with neurodivergent conditions. Receiving a neurodivergent diagnosis can impact both the child and their caregiver’s mental health and well-being. Implementation of parent-to-parent support groups for caregivers of children with neurodivergent conditions have been found to reduce stress and anxiety. The more educated a parent is regarding their child’s diagnosis, the better they can effectively support and advocate for their child. This can create a reduction in stress and anxiety. Groups also provide a space for caretakers to empathize, express their emotions, and share the skills and knowledge they have. …

Student Research Design & Innovation Symposium
Since the days of Shirly Temple, Hollywood has been tasked with the care of children thrust into the spotlight. Hollywood is usually filled with kids being forced into adult situations, missing out on a normal childhood, and developing severe trauma because of fame despite the many laws protecting them. However, these laws have not evolved to protect the modern-day child actors, kid influencers. Kid influencers are children who perform in videos that are posted on social media platforms for millions of people to see. They earn money through sponsored posts and views rather than being paid by a single corporation. …
