Experiencing Gospel: Luther, Men, Women, And Children Around The Table In Reformation And Contemporary Eras; A Tribute To Gordon Jensen, Karen Kuhnert

Consensus

Building primarily on Gordon A. Jensen’s text Experiencing Gospel: The History and Creativity of Martin Luther’s 1534 Bible Project (2023) and the work of Kirsi I. Stjerna et. al in Women Reformers of Early Modern Europe: Profiles, Texts, and Contexts (2022), this essay demonstrates that the theological legacies of knowable Reformation era men, women, and children (in their own cultural, geographic, and linguistic contexts) can be recognized as having crossed the Atlantic with explorers, settlers, and pioneers and that these theological legacies continue to shape North American religious-cultural contexts today. The combined depth and quality of the cited research from …

An Expert System On Flimsy Foundations: Teaching Expertise And The Early Career Framework, Jim Hordern, Katherine Evans, Pete Kelly, Nick Pratt

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

The paper seeks to identify how teacher expertise is implicitly and explicitly conceptualised in current English education policy in respect of the professional development of teachers. We focus specifically on conceptualisations of expertise in the Early Career Framework (ECF), both in terms of the policy documentation produced by the Department for Education and in terms of a selection of publicly available materials produced by the lead providers of the ECF. We aim to locate these conceptualisations in terms of broader sociological and philosophical debates about the nature of expertise and its relationship to professional work, in addition to recent research …

The Arbitrariness Of Symmetry In Mathematical Proofs, Melisa Vivanco

Philosophy Faculty Publications

Symmetry is not an inherent characteristic of mathematical proofs; instead, it is a property that arbitrarily manifests in different modes of presentation. This arbitrariness leads to the conclusion that symmetry cannot be part of the defining or essential properties that characterize proofs. Consequently, contrary to some authors’ claims, symmetry does not significantly contribute to the validity, accuracy, or soundness of mathematical proofs. What is more, it does not even play any critical role in heuristic aspects such as explanatory power. The examples developed in this paper constitute compelling evidence supporting these claims.

Latinos' Intimate Partner Violence, Abuse, And Interventions: Developing A Latcrit Analysis And Critique, Adrian Luis Manriquez, Eric S. Mankowski

Psychology Faculty Publications and Presentations

The paper utilizes LatCrit and critical psychology perspectives in order to review and critique the literature on Latinos' intimate partner violence and abuse and intervention programs. LatCrit theories are described and reviewed, and then applied to the literature on IPV predictors among Latinos. The review demonstrates that the research literature on the predictors, correlates, and antecedents of Latino males' IPV behaviors focuses largely on the individual level of analysis, and consequently suffers from three main limitations: use of deficit models in research; decontextualized assessment and evaluations of IPV; neglect of higher levels of analysis influencing IPV in Latinx communities. Implications …

Cross-Modality Synthesis Of T1c Mri From Non-Contrast Images Using Gans: Implications For Brain Tumor Research, Mehnaz Tabassum, Priyanka Rana, Eric Suero Molina, Antonio Di Ieva, Sidong Liu

Staff Scholarship - Australia & Dubai

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has revolutionized medical diagnostics by providing a multifaceted view of the human body’s intricate structures and pathologies. With its different sequences, MRI offers comprehensive information about the structure and function of the brain, providing valuable clues in neuro-oncology. However, post-contrast (gadolinium) T1 sequences (T1c) MRI, which offers unparalleled detail in blood-brain barrier disruption, is sometimes inaccessible due to logistical and clinical constraints (e.g., costs, pregnancy, allergic reaction to the agent, etc.). Our study aims to address this issue by synthesizing T1c MRI images using generative AI methodologies. We have expanded on existing Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) …

Vaccine Value Profile For Hookworm, Martin Grobusch, Rick Maizels, James Mccarthy, Bruce Lee, Erika Gaspari, David Diemert, Peter Hotez

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Hookworm, a parasitic infection, retains a considerable burden of disease, affecting the most underprivileged segments of the general population in endemic countries and remains one of the leading causes of mild to severe anemia in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), particularly in pregnancy and children under 5. Despite repeated large scale Preventive Chemotherapy (PC) interventions since more than 3 decades, there is broad consensus among scholars that elimination targets set in the newly launched NTD roadmap will require additional tools and interventions. Development of a vaccine could constitute a promising expansion of the existing arsenal against hookworm. Therefore, we …

Workplace Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion In The Retention Of Faculty Women Of Color In Science, Technology, Engineering, And Mathematics, Sherri Reese

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Gender discrimination and the underrepresentation of women of color in faculty positions in higher education institutions, especially in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) departments, is a research and policy problem. Despite efforts to improve diversity and inclusion in higher education workplaces, women of color remain largely underrepresented among STEM faculty. Informed by Adams’s equity theory, Tajfel’s social identity theory of organizational commitment, and Bell’s critical race theory, the purpose of this quantitative cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between diversity and organizational commitment and inclusion and organizational commitment among faculty women of color. Survey data were collected …

The Potential Influence Of Immune Modulatory Molecules (Tgf-Βiii And Ctla-4) In Pathogenicity Of Pcos, Mustafa Riyadh Abdullah, Hazima Mossa Alabassi

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterised by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovaries, and immunological dysregulation. Immune homeostasis and inflammation management require immune functions. T-regulatory cells (Tregs) regulate PCOS's immune system, inflammation, insulin resistance, ovarian function, and homeostasis. Transforming growth factor βIII (TGF-βIII) and Cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte-associated-protein-4 (CTLA-4) receptors on the surfaces of Treg cells are important for controlling the immune system. The study included 68 PCOS patients and 22 non-PCOS women controls aged 20–45. The waist-hip ratio (WHR) determines obesity. We evaluated serum levels and gene expression of TGF-βIII and CTLA-4 via ELISA and real-time PCR. Women with PCOS had significantly higher …

Sorry, Not Sorry: Activating Moments Of Slippage Through Transpedagogical Practice, Lynn Sanders-Bustle

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

While innovative approaches to teacher preparation are implemented in teacher preparation curricula, most curricula and practicums continue to be built around expected and normative standards of teacher practice. Intended to prepare future teachers to be successful in K-12 settings burdened by the impact of a stifling audit culture, policy overreach, continued efforts are needed to prepare preservice teachers for contemporary unknowns of pedagogy through contemporary art practices.

In this article, the author/inquirer examines preservice teachers’participation in transpedagogical practice (social practice) aimed at guiding high schoolers in a 2019 social practice project designed to make change in their schools. In this …

Evaluating Mountain Lion Diet Before And After A Removal Of Feral Horses In A Semiarid Environment, Peter C. Iacono, Kathryn A. Schoenecker, Kezia R. Manlove, Pat J. Jackson, David C. Stoner

Wildland Resources Faculty Publications

Non-native species can affect ecosystems by influencing native predator-prey dynamics. Therefore, management interventions designed to remove non-natives may inadvertently lead to increased predation on native species. Feral horses are widely distributed throughout the arid parts of western North America. A growing body of research indicates that horses can be an important prey species to mountain lions in ecosystems where they overlap. In December 2020, the Bureau of Land Management removed 455 horses from the Delamar Mountains, Nevada, USA. We leveraged this management intervention to implement a before–after–control–impact study to test hypotheses about predation on horses and native ungulates. We predicted …

Rahman V. Lewis

All Decisions

The case involved a landlord seeking to evict a tenant receiving a Section 8 housing subsidy. The landlord's failure to serve a required Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) notice and certification form with the termination notice was deemed a fatal procedural defect. The court also found that the tenant did not waive this defense by failing to raise it in their answer. The court dismissed the case without prejudice, as the landlord did not meet statutory requirements, leading to a substantial win for the tenant.

Nocturnal Paroxysmal Dystonia To Sleep-Related Hypermotor Epilepsy: A Critical Review, Neel Fotedar, Hans O. Lüders

Faculty Scholarship

Sleep-related paroxysmal motor episodes (SPMEs) have been described by various names, including nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia, nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE), and sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy. The underlying pathophysiology has been debated over the years, with these episodes assumed to be a form of paroxysmal dystonia or parasomnia versus a form of epilepsy. In most studies published on SPMEs and their variants (paroxysmal arousals, nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia, and episodic nocturnal wanderings) in the early 1990s, the authors speculated on the pathophysiology but did not commit to one idea. It was not until the mid-1990s that epilepsy became the leading prospect. We performed …
