Living By The Code: Authority In Gerard Stembridge's The Gay Detective, Kathleen A. Heininge

Faculty Publications - Department of English

Irish drama has few representations of police officers as anything but a trope for authority, tending to avoid any substantive character development. Likewise, it has few representations of homosexual characters, and when such representations do exist they are often caricatures. Reductive portrayals of police often arise from the complex relationship the Irish have with authority and with the legal system. But one of the few exceptions to this trend, and the only play to tackle the representation of a police officer and a homosexual at once, is Gerard Stembridge’s play The Gay Detective (1996). The play offers up the character …

A New Historicist Analysis Of Education And Female-Life Factors In The 1926 Indiana Prairie Farmer Magazine Column "John Turnipseed", Jessica Ellen Mills

Open Access Theses

This research used a literary-theoretical approach to guide investigation of the once-popular column titled “John Turnipseed,” which was published for more than 60 years in the Indiana Prairie Farmer magazine. As the fictional author, Turnipseed entertained thousands of rural readers through his humorous first-person narration of interactions and adventures on and about his Indiana farm in the early twentieth century. The research focused specifically on the 51 Turnipseed columns published in the year 1926, a pivotal era in U.S. agriculture as well as American society. The literary theory of New Historicism was used to analyze two historical factors — education …

Edwards Said, Orientalism, And The Identification Of A Neglected Source Behind The Reynolds V. United States Anti-Polygamy Decisions, Stephen Kent

Utah OnLaw: The Utah Law Review Online Supplement

Efforts to legalize or at least decriminalize polygamy have not been able to get around the 1878 Supreme Court decision in Reynolds v. United States, written by Chief Justice Morrison Remick Waite (1816-1888). Subsequent court decisions have deemphasized various aspects of his ruling, but his fundamental conclusion—that polygamy is sufficiently harmful to justify criminalization—remains. As legal scholar Marci Hamilton concluded, Waite’s decision in Reynolds “articulated what would eventually become the dominant doctrine for the free exercise of religion: religious belief is absolutely protected, but religious conduct is subject to the rule of law.” “[T]he core logic of Reynolds v. United …

Cultivating A Participatory Design Practice In Architecture: A Case Study Of Hong Kong Housing Authority, Tris Kee

Faculty of Design & Environment (THEi)

Community participation in urban design and planning is slowly emerging in Hong Kong as the Government increasingly adopts and recognizes the importance of bottom-up community values in the practice of informing, consulting and involving the community. This paper provides a framework that emphasizes the importance of collaboration and community-based initiatives to reconcile different interests and achieve a balanced vision for the design of the city. The fundamental objective is to ensure an increase sense of community belonging, responsibility and civic pride in improving the overall quality of life. The Lam Tin Estate case study not only demonstrates how the Government …

Non-Marital Families And (Or After?) Marriage Equality, Deborah A. Widniss

Florida State University Law Review

If, as is widely expected, the Supreme Court soon holds that bans on same-sex marriage are unconstitutional, it is almost certain that the decision will rely heavily on the Court’s reasoning in United States v. Windsor. I strongly support marriage equality. However, a decision that amplifies Windsor’s conception of the harm caused by exclusionary marriage rules could set back efforts to secure legal recognition of, and respect for, non-marital families. That is, Windsor rectified a deep inequality in the law—that same-sex marriages were categorically denied federal recognition—but in so doing it embraced a traditional understanding of marriage as superior to …

Permutation Invariant Lattices, Lenny Fukshansky, Stephan Ramon Garcia, Xun Sun

Pomona Faculty Publications and Research

We say that a Euclidean lattice in Rⁿ is permutation invariant if its automorphism group has non-trivial intersection with the symmetric group S_n, i.e., if the lattice is closed under the action of some non-identity elements of S_n. Given a fixed element T E S_n, we study properties of the set of all lattices closed under the action of T: we call such lattices T-invariant. These lattices naturally generalize cyclic lattices introduced by Micciancio in [7,8], which we previously studied in [1]. Continuing our investigation, we discuss some basic properties of …

Distributive Injustice And Organ Transplant Waitlists, Huma Zarif

UC Law Science and Technology Journal

Organ transplantation has been a life-saving treatment option for many who require this intervention due to organ failure. However, there are many legal and ethical considerations regarding allocation of this limited resource. Some of these issues were brought to the forefront in the highly publicized cases of Steve Jobs, Sarah Murnaghan, and Javier Acosta. These were instances where it appeared that in getting their transplants, these individuals obtained an unfair advantage over others on the waitlist. When a resource is as scarce as an organ for transplantation, equitable distribution policies are integral to a just allocation system.

Entire Labeling Of Plane Graphs, Martin Bača, Stanislav Jendroī, Kumarappan Kathiresan, Kadarkarai Muthugurupackiam

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

A face irregular entire k-labeling j : V ∪E ∪F →{1,2, . . . , k} of a 2-connected plane graph G = (V,E,F) is a labeling of vertices, edges and faces of G in such a way that for any two different faces f and g their weights wj ( f ) and wj (g) are distinct. The weight of a face f under a k-labeling j is the sum of labels carried by that face and all the edges and vertices incident with the face. The minimum k for which a plane graph G has a face irregular …

Environmental Justice As Civil Rights, Wyatt G. Sassman

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

Environmental justice litigation using the Equal Protection Clause and civil rights statutes has largely failed. This article explains that failure as a result of a general shift by federal courts to limit the scope of civil rights law rather than an improper characterization of environmental justice as a civil rights issue. This explanation is important to both encourage and caution environmental justice advocates and scholars as they approach claims under Title VIII. I suggest that Title VIII's ability to bridge property and dignity may still present a powerful and much-needed tool for bringing equality to environmental law, but that, based …

Prevalence Of Escherichia Coli O157:H7 And Salmonella In Camels, Cattle, Goats, And Sheep Harvested For Meat In Riyadh, Joseph M. Bosilevac, Mustafa A. Gassem, Ibraheem A. Al Sheddy, Salah A. Almaiman, Ibrahim S. Al-Mohizea, Abdullah Alowaimer, Mohammad Koohmaraie

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center: Reports

Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella are significant foodborne pathogens that can be found in the feces and on the hides of meat animals. When hides are removed during the harvest process, the carcass and subsequent meat products can become contaminated. Camels, cattle, sheep, and goats are harvested for meat in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella are unknown in these animals, and it is assumed that if the animals carry the pathogens in their feces or on their hides, meat products are likely to become contaminated. To this end, a minimum of 206 samples …

Research Round-Up: Manual Muscle Testing, Mary Insana Fisher, Shana Harrington

Physical Therapy Faculty Publications

Manual muscle testing was developed in response to the need to assess muscle strength losses during the polio outbreak in early part of the 20th century. The development of this original method is credited to Wilhelmine Wright and Robert W. Lovett, MD. Wright presented this method in 1912 in the Boston Medical Surgical Journal, and Lovett expanded the description of the testing method in 1916 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The development of quantifying muscle strength by rating force generated against external resistance was an important development in objectifying assessment methods of the time.

Today, manual muscle …

Liver X Receptor-Dependent Inhibition Of Microglial Nitric Oxide Synthase 2, Julie R Secor Mcvoy, Hanadi Ajam Oughli, Unsong Oh

Neurology Publications

Background

The nuclear receptor liver X receptor (LXR) exerts transcriptional control over lipid metabolism and inflammatory response in cells of the myeloid lineage, suggesting that LXR may be a potential target in a number of chronic neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases where persistent microglial activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis.

Methods

The effect of LXR activation on microglia and central nervous system (CNS) inflammation was studied using a synthetic LXR agonist in cultured microglia, a microglial cell line and experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of CNS inflammation.

Results

LXR activation inhibited nitric oxide synthase 2, inducible (Nos2 …
