562 West 174th Equities Llc V. Mednik

All Decisions

In this holdover based on alleged lease expiration, the key issue was whether the unit was rent-stabilized. The landlord initially claimed deregulation based on high-rent vacancy but had previously filed contradictory claims asserting rent-stabilization in other proceedings, including a newer, concurrent case. The tenant argued rent-stabilization based on regulatory filings. The court found the multiple filings and reversals in position by the landlord created a confusing and prejudicial scenario. Because the newer case raised the same issue, the court dismissed the current proceeding without prejudice. Practice Note: Landlords should avoid simultaneously prosecuting parallel cases involving contradictory regulatory claims, as it …

Anisakid Nematodes In Black Sea Harbour Porpoise (Phocoena Phocoena Ssp. Relicta) From The Turkish Western Black Sea: With Notes About Association With Body Length And Stomach Content, Erdem Danyer, Işil Aytemi̇z Danyer, Arda Mehmet Tonay, Ayhan Dede, Hayretti̇n Akkaya

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Parasites are naturally present in the natural gastrointestinal fauna of marine mammals without necessarily causing any pathology. However, under various stress conditions, parasites can cause pathological disorders in the gastrointestinal system. There is insufficient information on parasite fauna of mammals living in the Black Sea waters off the Turkish coast. This study examined the stomach contents of bycaught and stranded harbour porpoises collected between 2002 and 2003 along the Turkish coast of the western Black Sea for parasitic presence. In a previous stomach content study, 450 nematode fragments (including 232 intact specimens) were occasionally collected from 33 harbour porpoises (27 …

Crashing The Party: How Textualism And Legislative History Can Work Together, John Cannan

Faculty Publications

Textualists must moderate their distaste for legislative history and acknowledge the role of congressional sources in statutory interpretation—even those they themselves approve of. Doing so would enhance their statutory analyses. Decisions arising from 2016 litigation by hospitals against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, culminating in Azar v. Allina Health Servs., 139 S. Ct. 1804, 204 L. Ed. 2d 139 (2019), demonstrate how textualist inflexibility can undermine their own principles. For example, notable advocates of that interpretive school—then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Justice Neil Gorsuch—overlooked statutory text, which they so highly prize, in reaching their determinations. Textualists often describe …

After The Catastrophe: Rwanda's Transformation, Zhijun He

International Studies Honors Projects

Standard development theory holds that recovery requires institutions first: courts, fiscal systems, the rule of law. Rwanda in 1994 had none—and rebuilt a state. The state must extract to build capacity, deliver to build legitimacy; when both collapse simultaneously, no entry point remains. Somalia's three-decade failure confirms the trap. Rwanda broke it.

This thesis argues that Rwanda's trajectory is not an exception to the good governance consensus but a refutation of it. Through analytical synthesis of the existing scholarship on four post-genocide institutional mechanisms— gacaca community courts, umuganda collective labor, imihigo performance contracts, and ingando political education camps—the thesis develops …

Território Brincapé: The First Adventure Playground Experience In Portugal, Rita Frade, Ana Rita Fonseca, Frederico Lopes, Sandra Nascimento

International Journal of Playwork Practice

Território Brincapé (TB) - Community Space for Free Play was a seminal project in Lisbon designed to deliver weekly play sessions to 112 children between 6 and 10 years old, for 1.5 hours during school time, at a private sandpit just outside a school. TB was developed under the ethos of playwork practice and was conceptualised as an adventure playground. This is a report of how we navigated this endeavour, focusing mainly on the perspective of the playwork practitioners. Specifically, it documents the questions that we dwelled upon through reflection and which aspects of this process we focused on. We …

Perception Of Climate In North Carolina, Jeffrey T. Lutz

The Geographical Bulletin

Geographers strive for a better understanding of how man perceives the world in which he lives. Environmental perception is a strategic concern within geography; and climate is an integral factor influencing man's responses to the complex environment. This study focuses on climatic perception, which constitutes an integral aspect of environmental awareness. Much work has been done in the field of environmental perception. Studies have dealt with the environmental in general, the perception of weather terminology and forecasting effectiveness, and specific climatic extremes or hazards such as flood and drought. However, research concerning the perception of general climatic conditions is lacking. …

Socially Responsible Investing: The Role Of Investors' Demographics And Educational Background Towards Investments, Amy Maalouf

Honors Projects in Finance

Socially responsible investing is a crucial strategy to adopt as it fosters positive outcomes for the environment and society. Sustainability is gaining traction in society because investors are creating a beneficial impact in the community. They accomplish this by focusing on factors that involve environmental sustainability, diversity, and human rights. This study employs a survey approach to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data about the educational background and demographics of investors in the stock market. The empirical analysis will incorporate a multivariate regression that attempts to measure the impact of various demographics on one's "socially responsible investing score." A regression …

Dress Codes And High School, Robert Johnson

Graduate Teacher Education

This paper examined the impact of dress codes and uniforms within high schools. Dress codes affect many high school students. Proponents of dress codes argue that they establish safety within a school, and this safety allows students to focus on learning. Research shows, however, that dress code enforcement disproportionately affects girls and minorities within a school. In looking at this research, the following research question emerged: In light of what is known about pedagogy in the contemporary educational setting, what is the relationship between the use of dress codes in high schools and student relationships with school? In attempting to …

Skepticism Beyond Knowledge: External World Moral Skepticism And The Crisis Of Political Rhetoric, Aanya Ghosh

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

This paper examines the application of external world moral skepticism to contemporary political discourse and decision-making processes. Drawing from epistemological traditions that question our ability to access moral truths about the external world, I argue that a pervasive form of moral skepticism has infiltrated modern political rhetoric, creating a crisis of justification for political action. Through discursive analysis of political communication across partisan divides, I demonstrate how skeptical attitudes toward external moral facts have transformed from philosophical positions to rhetorical strategies that undermine democratic deliberation. This transformation has significant implications for how political actors justify policies, how citizens evaluate political …

One Step Back, Two Steps Forward: How Ballistic Missile Defenses Put Us On The Path To War, Karan Kuppa-Apte

Bates College Journal of Political Studies

This article argues that the use of credible homeland ballistic missile defense (BMD) systems counterintuitively encourages offense dominance by undermining the deterrence by punishment behind mutually assured destruction (MAD). It contends that while BMD is a defensive technology, under conditions of MAD that defensive capability, if credible, is perceived by adversaries to signal an intention to circumvent deterrence. Fearing an attack with impunity, adversaries increase their supply of offensive weapons, pressuring defenders to improve their BMD capabilities, and an arms race thus emerges. Using detailed case studies of Israel’s missile defense against the Axis of Resistance and Chinese reactions to …
