Unconsitutional Conditions And Bargaining Breakdown, Richard A. Epstein

San Diego Law Review

In this Article, Professor Epstein takes a theoretical and practical approach in a discussion of the doctrine of unconstitutional conditions. He first shows how the doctrine of unconstitutional conditions can operate as an effective barrier against the dissipation of the social gains that are otherwise obtainable by collective social action. He next shows how the doctrine of unconstitutional conditions continues to play an important intellectual role in modern constitutional theory. In conclusion, the doctrine will be a necessary part of constitutional law so long as there are two spheres of government action - one in which there is a presumption …

Understanding Constitutional Rights In A World Of Optional Baselines, Larry Alexander

San Diego Law Review

In this Introduction to a symposium on Unconstitutional Conditions, Professor Alexander provides an overview of the constitutional doctrine that there are certain governmental programs that are constitutionally permissible but not constitutionally required. From this doctrine arises the principle that there are alternative states of affairs in which no one has any valid complaint of unconstitutional treatment. The author dubs this state of affairs "constitutionally optional baselines." The question is then posed of whether it is possible construct a model of constitutionally guaranteed rights married coherently to the notion of constitutionally optional baselines. Six approaches are put forth to deal with …

Human Vs. Non-Human Bone: A Non-Destructive Histological Method, Haley N. O'Brien

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Purpose: Within biological, anatomical systems, bone is a connective tissue that acts as the main supporting internal structure of the body. It directly reflects the soft tissues (e.g. muscles) that surround it in what osteologists call “bone morphologies” and is the primary focus of studies in forensic anthropology and zooarchaeology. Within these disciplines, species identification is one of the first steps in the analysis of bone fragments in both forensic and archaeological contexts. This thesis project focuses on the identification of human vs. non-human bone using a novel, non-destructive histological method assuming a qualitative distinction can be found between species …

Historic Costume In Science Fiction And Fantasy Film, Jennifer Jones

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Science Fiction and Fantasy are two genres which have captured the imagination of a generation of audiences. Frequently authors of such works base descriptions of clothing, jewelry, and hair on historical costume, giving readers and viewers a sense of connection to the events in the story. The design of these worn articles often furthers the observer’s perceptions of the characters, telling an unspoken story of who they are as people. Additionally, the choice of garments used in a performance informs the observer of the character’s personality, social status and place in society. This poster will investigate the use of historically …

The Impact Of Salient Naming Targets During Aphasia Therapy, Kathy Kay Molesh

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Two to four million Americans are affected by aphasia, an acquired communication disorder caused by brain damage (Simmons-Mackie, 2018). Speech, writing, reading and comprehension may all be affected by aphasia. Aphasia is commonly caused by stroke but brain injuries, cancer and neurologic disorders may also cause aphasia (NIH, 2017). Speech-language pathologists provide aphasia therapy particularly for aphasia-induced word finding difficulties known as anomia. Because communication is required for many daily activities, aphasia often has a devastating affect on an individual’s quality of life. Therapies that increase independence, and social participation in daily life are needed to increase the quality of …

Math Anxiety Among Teachers And Its Impact On Students’ Math Ability, Elina Bergund F

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Fear and anxiety about math can impede an individual’s math achievement, and math anxious people tend to perform worse than their abilities would indicate. When self-doubt and distress occurs, thinking and reasoning can be compromised. In fact, the fears that individuals with math-anxiety experience when they are forced to do math often prevent them from using their knowledge (Ashcraft & Kirk, 2001; Beilock, Gunderson, Ramirez, & Levince, 2010; Chipman, Krantz, & Silver, 1992). Math anxiety is more common among women than men and tends to manifest itself as an unpleasant emotional response to math or the prospect of doing math …

Patient Perspectives Of An Intensive Comprehensive Aphasia Program For Stroke Survivors, Anya Leyhe

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

Individuals with aphasia who participate in intensive post-stroke language rehabilitation programs make a variety of significant investments. Investments involve commitment across many domains including: time, finance, family participation, temporary relocation, as well as cognitive, physical, and emotional exertion. While intensive aphasia programs and intensive comprehensive aphasia programs (ICAPs) are becoming increasingly prevalent across health care settings (Rodriguez et al., 2017; Rose, et al 2013), and language-based and psychosocial outcomes are beginning to be reported in the literature (e.g., Babbitt, Worrall, & Cherney, 2015; Hoover, Caplan, Waters, & Carney, 2017), patient perspectives have yet to be explored. As health care moves …

Gained In Translation: Storytelling Through Theatrical Innovation, Shane Lutz

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

As an artist, I am a challenger, a revolutionary, and an explorer - in no particular order. Swedish playwright August Strindberg believed that “society is so horribly regimented” in its obtuse ideas of art, resulting in a drastic stagnation of theatrical innovation. This remains as real today as it did when Strindberg flipped the theatrical tradition on its head in the late 19th Century. I believe that by deconstructing the ideals that have been ingrained into us in terms of what theatre can and cannot be, we can redefine an outdated and inaccessible art form to reach audiences across time …

The Musical Collaboration Of Tennessee Williams, Elia Kazan, Alex North In A Street Car Named Desire, Peter Philips

UM Graduate Student Research Conference (GradCon)

In his Notebook Tennessee Williams wrote:

The experimental dramatist must find a method of presenting his passion in an articulate manner… my form is poetic [therefore]…a nonrealistic form must be chosen…[what] I call sculptural drama.

Sculptural drama, Williams’s hypothesis of “plastic theater,” implied the use of all stage resources, to generate a theatrical experience greater than realism. Only by using “other” transformative shapes could poetic imagination define truth, life, or reality.

My work aims to demonstrate music as a universal source of poetic truth. Williams, from his earliest writings, recognized the poetic expressionistic purity of music. Similar expressions are found …

Avocado And Flaxseed Oleogels: The Prospect Of A Healthy Saturated Fat Substitute, Breonna Johnson, Crystal Johnson, Juliana R. Ract, Aline Foguel, Heather L. Colleran Dr., Salam Ibrahim, Roberta Silva

The World of Food: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on What We Eat and Grow

Oleogelation is a novel technique that represents the forming of liquid oils into a gel-like structure by entrapping the liquid phase into a thermo-reversible and three-dimensional gel network. There has been a great interest in Oleogelation in many areas like pharmaceutics, food, and cosmetics. Oleogels are used to reduce the saturated and trans fatty acids in foods, making them healthier. The consumption of saturated and trans fatty acids increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (Pehlivanoglu, Demirci, Toker, 2017). Avocado oil is high in oleic monounsaturated fatty acids and substantial amounts of health beneficial phytochemicals, such as vitamins and phytosterols. Avocado …

Boatwright’S Dining Hall: Southern Food And The Authentication Of Fantasy, Evan Nooe

The World of Food: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on What We Eat and Grow

The paper examines the utilization of regionally southern food to construct a "hyperreal" immersive environment at a major tourist destination in Central Florida. In this instance, southern food is re-constituted to authenticate an experiential fantasy space for vacationers. As a result, traditionally southern food served in the South is no longer regionally southern.
