When Acting Becomes Reality: Determining Liability When A Death Occurs On Set, Pearl Hertz

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

During the filming of the movie Rust in October 2021, actor Alec Baldwin “was holding an antique Colt .45 . . . when the prop gun discharged a live bullet.” The bullet struck cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and director Joel Souza, resulting in the death of Hutchins. While many individuals postulated that other crew members were at fault, on February 15, 2022, the Hutchins family named Baldwin in a wrongful death lawsuit alleging “fail[ure] to perform industry standard safety checks and follow basic gun safety rules while using real guns.” The complaint also argues that but for Baldwin’s reckless behavior, “Hutchins …

Hush Money Is Not The Answer, Courtney Leon

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

Patriarchal social structures, bastions of male privilege, and misogynistic values have been embedded in American culture since the time “the butcher Christopher Columbus and his ilk arrived in the Americas” centuries ago. Not only have women been scrutinized as less equal than cisgender men when it relates to economic and political equality, but also in the sports arena on every spectrum. As March is Women’s History Month, it is important to recognize that despite decades of progress closing the equality gap between men and women, much still needs to be done to address de facto and de jure discrimination against …

Methylation Quantitative Trait Loci Are Largely Consistent Across Disease States In Crohn’S Disease, Seyma Katrinli, Jarod Prince, David T Okou, Jeffrey S Hyams, Lee A Denson, Richard Kellermayer, Greg Gibson, David J Cutler, Alicia K Smith, Subra Kugathasan, Karen N Conneely

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Recently, we identified 1,189 CpG sites whose DNA methylation level in blood associated with Crohn's disease. Here, we examined associations between DNA methylation and genetic variants to identify methylation quantitative trait loci across disease states in (1) 402 blood samples from 164 newly diagnosed pediatric Crohn's disease patients taken at 2 time points (diagnosis and follow-up), and 74 non-inflammatory bowel disease controls, (2) 780 blood samples from a non-Crohn's disease adult population, and (3) 40 ileal biopsies (17 Crohn's disease cases and 23 non-inflammatory bowel disease controls) from group (1).

Teacher Moonlighting: A Perceptional Study From Louisiana, Jessica Renae Greggs

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Moonlighting is a common practice for many teachers due to the need for supplemental income. This study was designed to narrate the effects moonlighting had on teachers in Northwest Louisiana. Through a series of online interviews, teachers shared their narrative regarding the effects moonlighting had on their personal and professional lives. The study took a constructivist phenomenological approach using primary data along with descriptive, non-experimental research to collect information about the participants’ lived experiences with teacher moonlighting. A narrative analysis was utilized to generate codes then organize them into themes, and to construct and compare the narrative findings. The results …

A Man Not A Monster : Reimagining Disability In Hollow Crown's Richard Iii, Taylor E. Uphus

Honors Theses

Traditional portrayals of William Shakespeare’s Richard III (1592) in film interpret Richard’s physical disability as an outward reflection of his evil. In recent years, disabilities studies scholars have reconsidered the historic association of Richard’s physical deformity with immorality. Unlike previous Richard III films, the BBC’s Hollow Crown: Richard III (Dominic Cooke, 2016) highlights Richard’s mental abuse and trauma. While the film does not shy away from Richard’s villainy, its more empathic depiction of Richard contests the one-dimensional stage and film representation of him as a conniving monster. Ultimately, this film presents Richard III to critique society’s treatment of disabled individuals.

The Unrecognized Importance Of Carbon Stocks And Fluxes From Swamps In Canada And The Usa, Scott J. Davidson, E Daze, Eunji Byun, Dean Hiler, Markus Kangur, Julie Talbot, Sarah A. Finkelstein, Maria Strack

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Abstract Swamps are a highly significant wetland type in North America both in terms of areal extent and their role in terrestrial carbon cycling. These wetlands, characterized by woody vegetation cover, encompass a diverse suite of ecosystems, including broad-leaved, needle-leaved, mixedwood or shrub/thicket swamps. Uncertainties in the role of swamps in carbon uptake and release continue to be substantial due to insufficient data on variabilities in carbon densities across diverse swamp types and relatively few flux measurements from swamp sites. Robust measurements of rates of vertical accretion of swamp soils and the associated long-term rates of carbon accumulation, alongside measurements …

School-Based Acceptance And Commitment Therapy For Adolescents With Anxiety: A Pilot Trial, Julie M. Petersen, Carter H. Davis, Tyler L. Renshaw, Michael E. Levin, Michael P. Twohig

Psychology Student Research

Anxiety disorders are one of the most prevalent diagnoses in youth, often resulting in impaired social and school functioning. Research on treatments for youth anxiety is primarily based in traditional clinical settings. However, integrating youth psychotherapies into the school environment improves access to evidence-based care. The present study is a pilot, randomized waitlist-controlled trial of a school-based, group acceptance and commitment therapy-based (ACT) intervention for adolescents with anxiety. Students at two separate schools (N = 26) with elevated anxiety were randomized to a 12-week waitlist or to immediate treatment. Participants in the immediate treatment condition reported statistically significant decreases …

Sykes, Craig Dietz, Marcus Alt, Megha Ramaswamy, Paul Rotert

Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

OBJECTIVES: Men who have sex with men who use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have not traditionally been targets for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine programmes, despite their high risk for HPV-related cancers and HPV vaccine being approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for people up to age 45. The objective of this study was to assess attitudes and barriers towards HPV vaccine for adult PrEP users in the primary care context.

METHODS: Semistructured phone interviews of 16 primary care patients taking PrEP in the Kansas City metropolitan area were conducted, with interviews assessing HPV vaccination status, and attitudes, beliefs …

First Record Of Jaguar (Panthera Onca) And Potential Prey Species In Sierra De Quila, Jalisco, Mexico, Efrén Moreno-Arzate, Luis Ignacio Iñiguez-Dávalos, Jorge Servín, María Magdalena Ramírez-Martínez, Milton Cezar Ribeiro, Rafael Sevilla

Western North American Naturalist

The jaguar (Panthera onca) is considered a keystone species for neotropical ecosystems. Jaguar records in natural protected areas (NPAs) are important to manage and maintain the long-term occupancy of the species in a region. The objectives of this study are to report the first jaguar records in the Sierra de Quila, Jalisco, Mexico, and to report observations of potential prey items. Between February 2018 and January 2019, 24 camera traps were placed for 180 days during 3 seasons, with a total capture effort of 3216 trap nights. Four hundred and two independent records were obtained from 17 species …

The North American Beaver (Castor Canadensis) Is Recolonizing The Llano Estacado, Garret D. Langlois, Robert D. Cox, Philip S. Gipson, Richard D. Stevens

Western North American Naturalist

Five millennia ago, the North American beaver (Castor canadensis) was extirpated from the Southern High Plains by droughts. Beaver were found to be largely absent from the Llano Estacado, despite exhaustive search efforts. Here we report the first definitive evidence of an extant C. canadensis population recolonizing the Llano Estacado. We further provide some spatiotemporal background information about beaver colonization along the North Fork of the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River.

Behind The Timeline: The Gendered Dynamics Among Civilian Volunteer Search And Rescue Organizations, Kyle Breen

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

In the aftermath of disaster, it is often neighbors and other civilians nearby who respond first. Civilian disaster response, then, is not new. However, a new phenomenon emerged following Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and again after the 2016 Louisiana Floods and Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Civilians convoyed to New Orleans with their boats to rescue others after Katrina, and again in 2016 and 2017. The difference in these more recent events has been the official formation of these volunteers into organizations that conduct search and rescue (SAR) as well as other relief activities. These civilian volunteer SAR organizations have gained …

Neutralizing Antibodies Protect Mice Against Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Aerosol Challenge, Natasha M Kafai, Soila Sukupolvi-Petty, Jaclyn Liu, Samantha Mackin, Arthur S Kim, Ana Jung, Lindsay Droit, Scott A Handley, Michael S Diamond, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) remains a risk for epidemic emergence or use as an aerosolized bioweapon. To develop possible countermeasures, we isolated VEEV-specific neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from mice and a human immunized with attenuated VEEV strains. Functional assays and epitope mapping established that potently inhibitory anti-VEEV mAbs bind distinct antigenic sites in the A or B domains of the E2 glycoprotein and block multiple steps in the viral replication cycle including attachment, fusion, and egress. A 3.2-Å cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of VEEV virus-like particles bound by a human Fab suggests that antibody engagement of the B domain may …

Start Making Plans For The Next Total Eclipses, Erik Johnson

Natural Science Faculty

A lunar eclipse occurs when Earth gets between the Sun and the Moon. Normally, you would see a full Moon but Earth's shadow is capable of covering the Moon entirely, making it much dimmer. A total lunar eclipse looks red due to sunlight refracted through Earth's atmosphere.

This event is visible to anyone who can see the Moon, which could be anywhere on the nighttime side of Earth. Next month on May 15, it will be visible through most of North America if it isn't cloudy.
