Impact Of Gut Microbiota On Drug Metabolism And Absorption, Kieran Burke, Yanyan Li Sep 2025

Impact Of Gut Microbiota On Drug Metabolism And Absorption, Kieran Burke, Yanyan Li

Pharmacy Faculty Scholarship

Purpose of Review: Complex interactions between gut microbiota and various drugs can significantly influence drug phar-macokinetics. We examined recent in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies to understand how microbiota directly influences drug metabolism and absorption in order to inform future research and clinical practice. Recent Findings: Considerable progress has been made for multiple drug classes using in vitro anaerobic culturing assays and ex vivo systems with human fecal communities, as well as animal models that have provided insights into both direct microbial metabolism of drugs and indirect host-microbiota interactions via regulation of host enzymes or transporters. However, how …


"Elements Don’T Mix!": Unearthing Racial Scripts And A Rhetorical Economy Of Whiteness In Disney And Pixar's Elemental, Linsay M. Cramer, Gabriel A. Cruz Sep 2025

"Elements Don’T Mix!": Unearthing Racial Scripts And A Rhetorical Economy Of Whiteness In Disney And Pixar's Elemental, Linsay M. Cramer, Gabriel A. Cruz

Communication, Media, and Culture

Using a narrative rhetorical approach, we map how Disney and Pixar’s 2023 film, Elemental, sustains a rhetorical economy of whiteness, as theorized by Asen and Kelly, which emphasizes the degree to which rhetorical constructions of racial difference are foundational to whiteness and economic systems. We identify and critique how Elemental discursively contributes to a system of exclusivity for those within the bounds of whiteness concerning economic mobility via racial scripts. Created and produced during Joe Biden’s United States (U.S.) presidential term (2021–2025), Elemental offers a metaphorical tale that engages the fractious, politically conservative anxieties concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) …


Report Of The National Expert For The United States In Mapping Third Party Litigation Funding In The European Union, Maya Steinitz Sep 2025

Report Of The National Expert For The United States In Mapping Third Party Litigation Funding In The European Union, Maya Steinitz

Faculty Scholarship

Commercial third-party litigation funding (“TPLF”) is not centrally regulated in the United States.  It is subject to the overlapping jurisdiction of state and federal courts, state and federal legislatures, regulatory agencies, and bar associations. Legislation, regulation, and oversight of TPLF is being undertaken at each of those levels – much of it centered around the questions of when and whether TPLF should be disclosed; how to mitigate conflicts of interest created by TPLF (including the potential for claimants to lose control over their case to funders); and the identification of any foreign individuals, entities, or countries that may be providing …

Of Photographs, Souvenirs, And Ticket Stubs: When Do Consumers Desire Mementos During An Experience?, Charlene Chu, Suzanne B. Shu Sep 2025

Of Photographs, Souvenirs, And Ticket Stubs: When Do Consumers Desire Mementos During An Experience?, Charlene Chu, Suzanne B. Shu

Business Faculty Articles and Research

Consumers often desire mementos of their experiential consumption, as reflected in common behaviors such as taking photos during a special event, purchasing souvenirs while on vacation, or keeping ticket stubs from a concert, but when do consumers desire mementos during an experience? This research examines the timing of the desire for mementos during an experience, and the conditions and motivations that prompt those memento timing decisions. We propose that the approaching end of an experience increases feelings of sadness and thus the desire for mementos at that time. However, for experiences that are easily repeatable, the approaching end of an …

8 E. 102nd St. Llc V. Chapman

All Decisions

In a nonpayment case, the court denied the tenant's motion to compel discovery, finding it moot because the landlord had produced the requested water tests in its opposition papers. The court also denied the tenant's separate request for further discovery, citing a prior stipulation between the parties. That stipulation mandated that the tenant withdraw her discovery motion if the landlord made a specific representation about the lack of other water quality complaints, which the landlord did. The court held that the parties are bound by the plain language of their stipulation.


Long Development Corp. V. Perez Sep 2025

Long Development Corp. V. Perez

All Decisions

In a nonpayment case, a tenant successfully moved to hold the landlord in civil contempt for violating court-ordered stipulations. The stipulations required the landlord to correct a severe cockroach infestation by implementing **integrated pest management (IPM)** as required by NYC Housing Maintenance Code § 27-2017.8. The court found that the landlord's limited pest control methods—spraying and using traps—were insufficient and constituted disobedience of a clear and unequivocal court mandate. The judge ordered a hearing to determine the tenant's compensatory damages and directed the landlord to immediately begin proper IPM practices.

Targeting Kinin B1r Attenuates Hypertension Through At1r-Dependent Mechanisms, Drew Theobald, Riley N. Bessetti, Yumei Feng Earley, Eric Lazartigues, Karen Litwa, Srinivas Sriramula Sep 2025

Targeting Kinin B1r Attenuates Hypertension Through At1r-Dependent Mechanisms, Drew Theobald, Riley N. Bessetti, Yumei Feng Earley, Eric Lazartigues, Karen Litwa, Srinivas Sriramula

School of Medicine Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Neurogenic hypertension is chronically high blood pressure that is initiated and maintained through excessive sympathetic nervous system activity and has been associated with increased B1R (kinin B1 receptor) activation. We previously reported a central role for B1R in mediating inflammatory pathways in the development of deoxycorticosterone acetate salt hypertension. Additionally, we identified a causal relationship between B1R expression after Ang II (angiotensin II) stimulation, and that B1R can mediate the bidirectional interaction between neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. However, whether there are any interactions between AT1R (Ang II-type I receptor) and B1R, and if B1R can mediate the effects of …

Observations On Predation Of The Flatback Turtle Natator Depressus By The Saltwater Crocodile Crocodylus Porosus At A Major Rookery In Northern Australia, Casper Avenant, James Gee

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Context: We examined predation by the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) on the flatback turtle (Natator depressus), an Australian endemic, at Cape Domett, a significant nesting site in Cambridge Gulf, northern Australia, where crocodile populations have recovered since legislative protection was implemented in the 1970s. Aims: The investigation aimed to document crocodile predation on flatback turtles across hatchling and adult life stages, assess predation strategies, and evaluate ecological impacts on this genetically distinct turtle stock. Methods: Conducted over three Austral winters (2021–2023), the study utilised infrared videography, unmanned aerial vehicles, and beach patrols to observe predation events in a population of …


Strategies Broadband Industry Leaders Use To Retain Customers, Anthony Lester Carter Sep 2025

Strategies Broadband Industry Leaders Use To Retain Customers, Anthony Lester Carter

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Disparities in broadband access and the reliability of services are still a major issue for communities throughout the United States. Broadband information technology (IT) managers often lack effective customer retention strategies, which can seriously impact their organization's growth and profitability. This pragmatic qualitative project, grounded in Morgan and Hunt’s commitment-trust theory of relationship marketing, was to explore strategies employed by IT managers at broadband companies to retain customers and ensure financial viability and sustainability. The study included semistructured interviews with 10 IT managers from broadband providers in the Philadelphia region of the United States who possessed relevant expertise involving customer …

Time And Atmosphere, Mǎdǎlina Diaconu Sep 2025

Time And Atmosphere, Mǎdǎlina Diaconu

Contemporary Aesthetics (Journal Archive)

Phenomenological investigation into atmospheres as spatial feelings has paid little attention thus far to their multifaceted temporality. Ambiances are not only situated but situational; they have an intermittent existence and modify time perception. Certain moods need time to evolve, and prolonged exposure to them may change their character. The passing of time itself generates atmospheres—ages are stereotypically associated with dominant moods, and seasonal rhythms influence well-being. Moreover, ambiances shape epochs and are socially contagious. While the idea that generations can be assigned a prevailing mood is not new, the terms Zeitgeist and Zeitzeichen have been framed by an idealist philosophy …
