Feminine Validation As The Foundation Of Masculine Authority In Woolf’S To The Lighthouse, Arianna Walters Oct 2026

Feminine Validation As The Foundation Of Masculine Authority In Woolf’S To The Lighthouse, Arianna Walters

Locus: The Seton Hall Journal of Undergraduate Research

Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse follows Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay as they navigate the complexities of gender characteristics within their marriage and family. As the novel progresses, normal marital and familial disputes invoke a deeper question: what is the true authority behind masculinity? Though the instinct is to first answer with dominance, the novel challenges readers to see the fluidity of both feminine and masculine traits. This essay argues that masculine authority is not self-sustaining, but relies on feminine validation to transform relationships within the family. This dependence is clearly fulfilled through Mr. Ramsay’s transformation at the end of the …


A Neurological Perspective Of Phantom Limb Pain And Potential Treatment Through Bionic Prosthetics, Leo Chu, Falisha Johnson, Noorjhan Alam Oct 2026

A Neurological Perspective Of Phantom Limb Pain And Potential Treatment Through Bionic Prosthetics, Leo Chu, Falisha Johnson, Noorjhan Alam

Locus: The Seton Hall Journal of Undergraduate Research

Phantom limb pain (PLP) represents a major post-amputation complication, exerting substantial effects on neural processing, rehabilitation, and quality of life in amputees. This review explores the neurological mechanisms behind PLP and the clinical implications of neuro-prosthetics. Paper 1 provided a case study utilizing several questionnaires to draw a negative link between extreme perceptions of PLP and mental health. Paper 2 reported the correlation between PLP and cortical rewiring. Functional MRI (fMRI) data from 30 amputees showed post-amputation reorganization of neuronal signaling in several brain regions: the somatosensory cortex, caudate nucleus, bilateral insula, and anterior cingulate cortex. The brain’s adjustment to …

Sustainable Applications And Flame-Retardant Functionalization Of Mycelium Composites: A Review, Xiao-Mei Yang, Tongyao Zhang, Bitao Lu, Pedro Rincón Arévalo, Víctor Jesús Amores Medianero, Guang-Zhong Yin, Guangqian Lan

Artículos científicos

The growing demand for sustainable and fire-safe materials has driven increasing interest in mycelium-based composites derived from fungal mycelia and lignocellulosic residues. Owing to their lightweight structure, low thermal conductivity, sound insulation, biodegradability, and circular-economy potential, these materials are emerging as promising alternatives to petroleum-derived foams and polymers in construction, packaging, and energy-related applications. However, the baseline intrinsic fire-safety behaviour of native fungal cells remains limited, as untreated mycelium typically shows low limiting oxygen index values and rapid ignition under flame exposure. To address this challenge, it is critical to distinguish baseline intrinsic fire behaviour originating from native fungal cell-wall …

The occurrence of childhood neurodevelopmental disorders has been steadily increasing for decades, yet we have little understanding of modes of inheritance implicated in these diseases. Epidemiology studies have revealed an association between an elevated paternal Body Mass Index (BMI) and age as factors implicated in increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression by DNA methylation at cytosines is susceptible to environmental, diet, and lifestyle changes. Yet, whether a man's BMI and age influence the sperm methylome and potentially impact offspring development remains unresolved. Using MethylC capture sequencing, we identified over 38,000 differentially methylated CpGs in …

Grants Pass And Its New Defendants: Looking To Drug Courts To Improve Homeless Courts, Paige Kupas Oct 2026

Grants Pass And Its New Defendants: Looking To Drug Courts To Improve Homeless Courts, Paige Kupas

Duke Law Journal

The U.S. Supreme Court's 2024 decision in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson was consequential both for the judicial system and for homeless defendants. The Court's holding that ordinances punishing sleeping and camping outside were not cruel and unusual punishments under the Eighth Amendment opened the floodgates for municipalities to either pass or enhance enforcement of such ordinances. What followed was an increase in the number of homeless defendants in the court system. Not only does this Grants Pass result put more pressure on already overburdened court dockets, but it also exacerbates an already broken system in which the most …


“I’M A Biracial Person Who Looks White In A Black Man’S Rap Game”: Exploring Expressions Of Multiracialized Masculine Vulnerability In Logic’S “Everybody”, Matthew Oware Oct 2026

“I’M A Biracial Person Who Looks White In A Black Man’S Rap Game”: Exploring Expressions Of Multiracialized Masculine Vulnerability In Logic’S “Everybody”, Matthew Oware

Sociology and Anthropology Faculty Publications

The field of Black vulnerability studies includes analyses of Black men rap artists’ sexual debut, romantic relationships, mental stress, self-medication, and suicidal thoughts. I expand this analysis to Black-white mixed-race men who express emotional vulnerability regarding their racial identities. Using a case study of the song “Everybody” by Logic—a Black and white, mixed-race man—I find that Logic expresses joy and pride in his Black and biracial identity. Similarly, I observe that he expresses anger and frustration toward those who question, dismiss, or degrade his Black and biracial identities, a pattern paralleled in research on multiracial individuals. By analyzing his radio …

A Pick-The-Winner Design Framework For Two-Arm Randomized Clinical Trials, Wanni Lei, Vernon M. Chinchilli, Xi Kathy Zhou Oct 2026

A Pick-The-Winner Design Framework For Two-Arm Randomized Clinical Trials, Wanni Lei, Vernon M. Chinchilli, Xi Kathy Zhou

COBRA Preprint Series

We propose a general pick-the-winner design framework for two-arm randomized clinical trials with binary and continuous endpoints that meets prespecified type I error rate and power requirements for winner selection. Traditional two-group comparison tests often require sample sizes that are impractical in early phase trials. Existing pick-the-winner designs offer an efficient alternative but generally emphasize the probability of correct selection rather than explicit control of type I and II error rates for winner selection. Our framework comprises four components: pick-the-winner-based hypotheses, winner selection strategies, definitions of type I error rate and power for winner selection, and design calibration. It accommodates …
