Differential Expression Of Wnt5a Long And Short Isoforms In Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma., Amy M Strope, Cody Phillips, Sabin Khadgi, Scott A Jenkinson, Karen T Coschigano, Ramiro Malgor

Oncology Articles

Wnt ligands belong to a family of secreted glycoproteins in which binding to a range of receptors/co-receptors activates several intracellular pathways. WNT5A, a member of the Wnt family, is classified as a non-canonical Wnt whose activation triggers planar cell polarity (PCP) and Ca+2 downstream pathways. Aberrant expression of WNT5A has been shown to play both protective and harmful roles in an array of conditions, such as inflammatory disease and cancer. In the present study, using histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular methods, we investigated the expression of two isoforms of WNT5A, WNT5A-Short (WNT5A-S) and WNT5A-Long (WNT5A-L) in bladder urothelial carcinoma (UC). Three …

Caste Inequality In Occupational Exposure To Heat Waves In India, Arpit Shah, Sneha Thapliyal, Anish Sugathan, Vimal Mishra, Deepak Malghan

Working Papers

India is a leading global hotspot for extreme heat waves induced by climate change. The social demography of India is centered on its caste hierarchy rooted in endogamous occu pational groups. We investigate the association between caste and climate inequality bystudying occupational exposure during the 2019 and 2022 heat waves. We combine high spatio-temporal resolution heat stress information from satellite imagery with a large na tionally and regionally representative labor force survey with rich socio-economic and demo graphic information (n > 100,000 individuals). The slope of the heat stress dose – workhours curve corresponding to the marginalized caste groups is between …

International Ownership And Smes In Middle Eastern And African Economies, Mina Baliamoune-Lutz, Mohamed A.K. Basuony, Stefan H.H. Lutz, Ehab K.A. Mohamed

Faculty Journal Articles

Empirical evidence on the benefits of international ownership for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) financial performance is either not available for most African and Middle Eastern countries or presents mixed results. In this paper, we investigate this further by examining the effects of ownership structure on firm performance, using financial data covering SMEs in 60 African and Middle Eastern countries, for the years 2006–2015. Results from pooled ordinary least squares and random-effects estimations indicate that international ownership is significantly positively correlated with firm performance for (most of) Africa and the Middle East. Examining the interaction of international ownership with capital …

The Tiny Village In The American Appalachians That Is More Swiss Than Switzerland, David Signer, Jonas Kakó

Swiss American Historical Society Review

About 150 years ago, Swiss immigrants founded the hamlet of Helvetia in West Virginia. Villagers still organize themselves democratically and celebrate Swiss festivals. The background of a popular video game is even modeled after the idyllic town. But can Helvetia survive?

Praising The Industrial Achievements Of Switzerland In The Early Twentieth Century: A Mural Painting Cycle For The Federal Polytechnic In Zurich, Alex Winiger

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The dome of the Swiss parliament’s building, the central part of the so-called “Bundeshaus” in Bern, is framed by four stained glass windows. They represent four pillars of the Swiss economy of around 1900: commerce to the north, textile industries to the east, agriculture to the south, and metal industries to the west. Other important sources of the growing wealth of the country are absent: finance (the banks), science (especially chemistry and its respective productions), and tourism. The latter found abundant representation in the railway stations of the time, relics of them still to be seen in the entrance hall …

Book Review: Iron And Blood: A Military History Of The German-Speaking Peoples Since 1500, John E. Fahey

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Modern Germany has a reputation for militarism and expansion. This reputation is often distilled into a simple view of German states as aggressive, regimented, and militaristic. Peter Wilson’s Iron and Bloodexplores how conflict has shaped German history since the 1500s. An accomplished historian of the Thirty Years War, Wilson is the right author for this work, and is able to draw out important themes and subtleties of German military history. He argues that although militarism is “integral” to German history and state structure, it was “neither an end destination nor a single trajectory of development” (xliii). He shows that …

Common Data Models To Streamline Metabolomics Processing And Annotation, And Implementation In A Python Pipeline., Joshua M Mitchell, Yuanye Chi, Maheshwor Thapa, Zhiqiang Pang, Jianguo Xia, Shuzhao Li

Faculty Research 2024

To standardize metabolomics data analysis and facilitate future computational developments, it is essential to have a set of well-defined templates for common data structures. Here we describe a collection of data structures involved in metabolomics data processing and illustrate how they are utilized in a full-featured Python-centric pipeline. We demonstrate the performance of the pipeline, and the details in annotation and quality control using large-scale LC-MS metabolomics and lipidomics data and LC-MS/MS data. Multiple previously published datasets are also reanalyzed to showcase its utility in biological data analysis. This pipeline allows users to streamline data processing, quality control, annotation, and …

Old Wine In A New Bottle? – An Empirical Evaluation Of The Judicial Reforms In China In The 2010s, Peter C.H. Chan

UC Law SF International Law Review

This article provides an empirical evaluation of the effectiveness of the judicial reform measures implemented in China in the 2010s. Among other objectives, the reforms aimed to strengthen the independence of judges, the financial autonomy of courts and the professionalism of adjudicators. Critics have questioned the success of the reforms, citing continued government intervention with adjudication and unchanged structural problems with courts. To date, there has been limited empirical literature focusing specifically on the judicial reform measures in the 2010s in China. This article provides a glimpse into what really was happening on the ground since the reforms through the …

Disparately Disabled: Advocating For All Federal Courts Of Appeals To Make Disparate Impact Claims Cognizable Under Federal Disability Rights Law, Dustine Bowker

Washington Law Review

People with disabilities have the same rights and deserve to enjoy the same privileges as everyone else. However, people with disabilities face societal inequities that hinder their full participation in society. As a result of persistent advocacy and civil protest, federal laws have been enacted to prohibit discrimination based on a person’s disability. Yet, policies that discriminate against people with disabilities have continued. One cause of this troubling situation is that federal circuit courts still disagree on whether federal disability rights laws, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), allow plaintiffs …

The Rule Of Law, The Lawyer’S Role As A Public Citizen, And Professional Identity: How Fostering The Development Of Professional Identity Can Help Law Schools Address The Crisis Facing American Democracy, Kendall Kerew

Mercer Law Review

American democracy is in crisis. The January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol must serve as a renewed wake-up call for the legal profession. We can no longer keep our heads down, focused solely or even primarily on serving our clients, without being mindful that what we do every day as lawyers starts and ends with our duty to uphold the rule of law and our system of justice. We must acknowledge that lawyers are the ones who have put democracy at risk. Lawyers are the ones who, in their role as zealous advocates, attempted to overturn the 2020 …

Major Reform With Minor Risk: Implementation Of Change Initiatives As A Learning Challenge, Sara J. Berman, Chance Meyer

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

The call for change in legal education has been loud and clear for more than a century. Despite some resistance among powerholders who benefit from status quo, faculty and administrators across the country work earnestly to solve problems, improve learning, and promote equity. Yet time and again, initiatives are logjammed, shot down as unworkable, misimplemented, or abandoned prematurely when they do not meet unrealistically high expectations for immediate, dramatic results. This article builds on the premises that (1) change is needed, (2) a wide range of sound change ideas for reform and progress are available, and (3) effective implementation of …

Language Models, Plagiarism, And Legal Writing, Michael L. Smith

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

Language models like ChatGPT are the talk of the town in legal circles. Despite some high-profile stories of fake ChatGPT-generated citations, many practitioners argue that language models are the way of the future. These models, they argue, promise an efficient source of first drafts and stock language. Others make similar claims about legal writing education, with a number of professors urging the acknowledgment of language models. Others go further and argue that students ought to learn to use these models to improve their writing and prepare for practice. I argue that those urging the incorporation of language models into legal …
