Bagay: A Structural-Phenomenological Discussion Of A Movement, Niccolo Rocamora; Vitug

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle discusses the Bagay movement using critical discourse analysis, a structural approach, and the concept of loob or inner life through a phenomenological approach in the context of the Ateneo de Manila in the 1960s, when the university underwent Filipinization. While literature on social movements is useful in understanding Bagay, concepts from the humanities may further enrich it. Starting as a literary movement that forwarded a poetic style characterized by its novel use of imagery and language, Bagay grew into a social movement that influenced changes within the academic landscape of the Ateneo and various aspects of Philippine culture.

Effects Of Sensory Cues On Product Acceptability And Consumer Perceptions, Emotions, And Behavior, Cristhiam Gurdian Curran

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Visual and cognitive cues can affect overall liking (OL) and consumer perceptions, emotions, and behavior. The first study explored the effect of product color difference on the liking, perception, and purchase intent (PI) of cheese-flavored-tortilla chips (CFTC) formulations (A and B) on serving plates (plastic, foam, and paper). Color differences between formulations influenced crunchiness and saltiness liking and perception, which together with overall flavor liking and formulation, mainly determined CFTC OL. Although having similar fracturability (N) and sodium content, formulation A had higher crunchiness and saltiness likings. PI was influenced by crunchiness, saltiness, and OF liking with 37, 49, and …

The Emergence Of Psychoanalytical Electrochemistry: The Translation Of Mdd Biomarker Discovery To Diagnosis With Electrochemical Sensing, Priyanka M. Nadar, Mckenna A. Merrill, Katherine Austin, Stephen M. Strakowski, Jeffrey M. Halpern

Faculty Publications

The disease burden and healthcare costs of psychiatric diseases along with the pursuit to understand their underlying biochemical mechanisms have led to psychiatric biomarker investigations. Current advances in evaluating candidate biomarkers for psychiatric diseases, such as major depressive disorder (MDD), focus on determining a specific biomarker signature or profile. The origins of candidate biomarkers are heterogenous, ranging from genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, while incorporating associations with clinical characterization. Prior to clinical use, candidate biomarkers must be validated by large multi-site clinical studies, which can be used to determine the ideal MDD biomarker signature. Therefore, identifying valid biomarkers has been challenging, …

Caloric Restriction Prevents Obesity- And Intermittent Hypoxia-Induced Cardiac Remodeling In Leptin-Deficient Ob/Ob Mice, Aaron A. Jones, Sarah N. Framnes-Deboer, Arianne Shipp, Deanna M. Arble

Biological Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Background:

Intermittent hypoxia (IH), a key characteristic of obstructive sleep apnea, is independently associated with cardiometabolic impairment. While endogenous leptin levels may provide cardioprotective effects against hypoxia, leptin resistance is common among obese individuals presenting with obstructive sleep apnea.

Methods:

Here, we assessed left ventricle (LV) function using M-mode echocardiography in lean wild-type, calorically-restricted ob/ob, and obese ob/ob mice before and after 6 days of IH to determine how obesity and intermittent hypoxia interact to affect cardiac function independent of leptin signaling.

Results:

Calorically-restricting ob/ob mice for 4 weeks prior to IH exposure prevented weight gain (−2.1 ± 1.4 …

Burned-Out With Burnout? Insights From Historical Analysis, Renzo Bianchi, Katarzyna Wac, James Francis Sowden, Irvin Sam Schonfeld

Publications and Research

Fierce debates surround the conceptualization and measurement of job-related distress in occupational health science. The use of burnout as an index of job-related distress, though commonplace, has increasingly been called into question. In this paper, we first highlight foundational problems that undermine the burnout construct and its legacy measure, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Next, we report on advances in research on job-related distress that depart from the use of the burnout construct. Tracing the genesis of the burnout construct, we observe that (a) burnout’s definition was preestablished rather than derived from a rigorous research process and (b) the MBI …

The Laguna Copperplate Inscription: Tenth-Century Luzon, Java, And The Malay World, Elsa; University Clavé, Arlo Griffiths

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

The Laguna Copperplate Inscription is one of very few Philippine historical documents dating from the precolonial period and the only one bearing information on the social life of the Manila region before the arrival of the Spanish. Building on previous studies which discussed the significance of the inscription in the context of Luzon and the Philippines, thisarticle proposes a reading of the inscription in the larger context of maritime Southeast Asia. We focus on how this document complicates the current understanding of the historical roles of the Malay language. On this basis, we call for a revision of the notion …

Student Publications

ntroduction: Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) is currently the most popular method for identifying benign and malignant thyroid nodules. However, its diagnostic sensitivity is sometimes limited, which makes it necessary to apply genetic testing and other modalities as a secondary diagnostic method. The diagnostic accuracy of thyroid nodule can be improved by combining mutations in the B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) with FNA. Thus, this study was conducted to create a nomogram diagnostic model based on the clinical and ultrasonic characteristics of patients with BRAF mutations to aid in the identification of benign and malignant thyroid nodules using FNA.

Role Of Hla-I Structural Variants And The Polyreactive Antibodies They Generate In Immune Homeostasis, Mepur H Ravindranath, Fatiha El Hilali, Carly J Amato-Menker, Hajar El Hilali, Senthamil R Selvan, Edward J Filippone

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

Cell-surface HLA-I molecules consisting of β2-microglobulin (β2m) associated heavy chains (HCs), referred to as Face-1, primarily present peptides to CD8+ T-cells. HCs consist of three α-domains, with selected amino acid sequences shared by all alleles of all six isoforms. The cell-surface HLA undergoes changes upon activation by pathological conditions with the expression of β2m-free HCs (Face-2) resulting in exposure of β2m-masked sequences shared by almost all alleles and the generation of HLA-polyreactive antibodies (Abs) against them. Face-2 may homodimerize or heterodimerize with the same (Face-3) or different alleles (Face-4) preventing exposure of shared epitopes. Non-allo immunized males naturally carry HLA-polyreactive …

Influence Of Abutment Design On Biomechanical Behavior To Support A Screw-Retained 3-Unit Fixed Partial Denture

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of Morse taper implants using different abutments (CMN abutment [(CMN Group] and miniconical abutments [MC Group]), indicated to support a screw-retained 3-unit fixed partial denture. For the in vitro test, polyurethane blocks were fabricated for both groups (n = 10) and received three implants in the “offset” configuration and their respective abutments (CMN or MC) with a 3-unit fixed partial denture. Four strain gauges were bonded to the surface of each block. For the finite element analysis, 3D models of both groups were created and exported to the analysis software to …

Label-Free Electrochemical Immunosensor For Picomolar Detection Of The Cervical Cancer Biomarker Mcm5, Ahmed Barhoum, Robert J. Forster

Research Outputs: 2025-Present

An immunosensor for label-free electrochemical detection of MiniChromosome Maintenance Protein 5, MCM5, a protein overexpressed in cervical cancer, based on a gold electrode is reported. The electrode was first modified with a submonolayer (capture layer) of 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (11-MUA) and then activated with N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) to immobilize the capture antibody. The change in electrode surface properties (wettability) during the formation of the 11-MUA layers was determined using the static water contact angle (WCA). The binding of MCM5 antigens to the capture antibody was monitored by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using 5 mM …

Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of Non-Visual Sensory Stimuli In The Design Of Public Parks: A Case Study Of Al-Azhar Park, Cairo, Egypt, Mohamed Al-Sherbiny, Mohammed Saleh

Mansoura Engineering Journal

This paper discusses the non-visual design features of public parks which are received by non-visual senses, i.e., hearing, touch, smell and taste. Giving the priority to the sense of sight and neglecting the other senses in the design of such places prevents the users from the full perception and enjoyment of them. This issue becomes more problematic in the case of visually impaired users. The aim of research is to formulate a methodology to detect and evaluate non-visual sensory stimuli in public parks. This methodology includes four evaluation criteria: The first assesses the degree of diversity of non-visual sensory stimuli …
