By analyzing the treatment of seized and forfeited property by the Internal Revenue Code and related I.R.S. regulations and publications, this study exposes critical gaps in the current system that prevent taxpayers from recognizing losses from civil forfeiture. The article further explores the interaction of tax law and civil forfeiture proceedings, demonstrating how innocent property …

Merchants In Shakespeare’S The Merchant Of Venice: A Transactional Analysis, Raj Bhala

The Business, Entrepreneurship & Tax Law Review

Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice is a play with multiple merchants engaged in multiple transactions with multiple motives. The key characters – Shylock, Antonio, Bassanio, Portia, Jessica, Lorenzo, Nerissa, Graziano, and the Duke – are involved in one sort of business dealing or another. Indeed, there are 10 specific transactions: one finance transaction; one international trade transaction; one gastronomic transaction; two inheritance transactions; three marriage transactions; and two legal entrepreneurship transactions. In these deals, commerce and love are almost indistinguishable, and justice and mercy clash. Thus, lawyers can analyze the drama from a transactional perspective, and spot issues they encounter, …

Microrna-532-3p Modulates Colorectal Cancer Cell Proliferation And Invasion Via Suppression Of Foxm1, Ketakee Mahajan, Ani V. Das, Suresh K. Alahari, Ramesh Pothuraju, S. Asha Nair

School of Graduate Studies Faculty Publications

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease and classified into various subtypes, among which transcriptional alterations result in CRC progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. Forkhead-box M1 (FOXM1) is a proliferation-associated transcription factor which is overexpressed in CRC and the mechanisms of FOXM1 regulation have been under investigation. Previously, we showed that FOXM1 binds to promoters of certain microRNAs. Database mining led to several microRNAs that might interact with FOXM1 3’UTR. The interactions between shortlisted microRNAs and FOXM1 3’UTR were quantitated by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. MicroRNA-532-3p interacted with the 3’UTR of the FOXM1 mRNA transcript most efficiently. MicroRNA-532-3p was ectopically …

Geographical Distribution Of Osteopathic Neurosurgery Residents, Ogechukwu Ariwodo, Andrew Greek, Ryan Wong, Vincent S. Alexander, Andrew D. Vogel, Bracken Burns, Kristen Conrad-Schnetz

Student Publications

Introduction: The neurosurgery residency match has grown increasingly competitive, especially for osteopathic (DO) medical students, amidst the transition to a single accreditation system in 2020. This shift required former American Osteopathic Association (AOA) programs to apply for Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accreditation, leading to a notable reduction in programs with a history of accepting DO applicants. This study aims to explore both potential geographical trends in residency match among recent DO neurosurgical residents and in the number of DO neurosurgical residents pre- and post-ACGME merger.

Methods: Neurosurgery residency programs during the 2023-2024 academic year were identified, and …

Fetal Mavs And Type I Ifn Signaling Pathways Control Zikv Infection In The Placenta And Maternal Decidua, Yael Alippe, Leran Wang, Reyan Coskun, Stéfanie P Muraro, Fang R Zhao, Michelle Elam-Noll, J Michael White, Daiana M Vota, Vanesa C Hauk, Jeffrey I Gordon, Scott A Handley, Michael S Diamond

2020-Current year OA Pubs

The contribution of placental immune responses to congenital Zika virus (ZIKV) syndrome remains poorly understood. Here, we leveraged a mouse model of ZIKV infection to identify mechanisms of innate immune restriction exclusively in the fetal compartment of the placenta. ZIKV principally infected mononuclear trophoblasts in the junctional zone, which was limited by mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) and type I interferon (IFN) signaling mechanisms. Single nuclear RNA sequencing revealed MAVS-dependent expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) in spongiotrophoblasts but not in other placental cells that use alternate pathways to induce ISGs. ZIKV infection of Ifnar1-/- or Mavs-/- placentas was associated with greater …

The Role Of Kenneth Kaunda’S Humanism In Fostering Higher Education For Social Responsibility In Post-Colonial Zambia (1964-1991), Edward Mboyonga

Zambia Social Science Journal

Kenneth Kaunda, Zambia’s first president from 1964 to 1991, advanced a Pan-African social-political ideology of humanism as a moral code to guide all human activities in the nation’s political, economic, and social spheres. Within education, humanism envisaged producing socially responsible and public good-oriented graduates equipped with humane values and capable of driving the national development agenda. This paper critically examines the nexus between Kaunda’s humanism and education by focussing on its role in fostering higher education for social responsibility in post-colonial Zambia. In addressing this, it focusses on the University of Zambia as a case study by drawing on secondary …

Violence Against Muslims In India, Janai Wright

Ballard Brief

Violence against Muslims in India is an issue rooted in historical tensions and political ideologies. This violence encompasses various forms, including communal riots, targeted attacks, and spontaneous assaults. Historical factors dating back to the Partition of British India in 1947 with unresolved territorial disputes, have contributed to ongoing hostilities. Hindu nationalism, propagated by groups like the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has exacerbated religious divisions, with policies and rhetoric marginalizing Muslims and promoting a Hindu majoritarian agenda. The failure of law enforcement and justice systems to address violence against Muslims further creates social insecurity. Consequently, Muslims in India face economic and …

Home Ownership Inaccessibility For Upcoming Generations In The United States, Kendall A. Isom

Ballard Brief

Affording adequate shelter is an important human need, but it is also a significant aspect of the American Dream to be able to own a home. Housing inaccessibility poses a significant challenge for younger generations in America, including Millennials and Generation Z, compared to their parent and grandparent generations such as Baby Boomers and Generation X. This challenge is primarily driven by contributing factors such as wage stagnation, an increased cost of living, and a housing shortage. These factors collectively contribute to consequences including younger individuals being unable to afford homes, exacerbating wealth inequality, and hindering one’s ability to retire …

The relative importance of genetic drift and local adaptation in facilitating speciation remains unclear. This is particularly true for seabirds, which can disperse over large geographic distances, providing opportunities for intermittent gene flow among distant colonies that span the temperature and salinity gradients of the oceans. Here, we delve into the genomic basis of adaptation and speciation of banded penguins, Galápagos (Spheniscus mendiculus), Humboldt (Spheniscus humboldti), Magellanic (Spheniscus magellanicus), and African penguins (Spheniscus demersus), by analyzing 114 genomes from the main 16 breeding colonies. We aim to identify the molecular mechanism and genomic adaptive traits that have facilitated their diversifications. …

'The President Requests The Pleasure': Irish State Dining, 1922-1940, Elaine Mahon

Exploring The Multifunctional Landscapes Model In Areas Dominated By Non-Native Tree Plantations, Andrea Monica D. Ortiz, Eugenia M. Gayó, Noelia Carrasco Henríquez, Bárbara Jerez Henríquez, Aníbal Pauchard

SOSE Affiliate: Manila Observatory

Multifunctional landscapes offer an integrated approach to production, conservation, and human well-being. However, the challenges of implementing them in territories where plantations dominate are yet not well understood. This is the case in Chile, where plantations of non-native pines and eucalypts are extensively planted in its South-Central regions for timber and pulp. The resulting landscape homogenization, environmental degradation, and increased wildfire risk have caused and exacerbated conflicts, impacting biodiversity and the well-being of local communities and the Indigenous Mapuche Peoples. After the mega-wildfires in the region in 2023, science-policy discourse promoted the multifunctional landscapes model as a way to increase …
