Politics, Catharsis, And Football: The Brazilian National Team As A Symbolic Device Of Nationhood, Marco Bettine

Journal of Global South Sport Studies

This article examines the growing entanglement between football, political conflict, and national identity in contemporary Brazil, focusing on the Brazilian National Football Team as a highly charged national symbol. Rather than assuming a direct causal link between sporting success and political outcomes, the paper explores how football has become a space where political meanings and public emotions are constantly reinterpreted and disputed. The discussion revisits the changing political meanings attached to the national team over the last decade. Particular attention is given to the perceived relationship between football performance and electoral cycles, the politicization of the yellow jersey, the use …

Between Peaks And Traditions: Indigenous Andean Women Mountaineers, Hybrid Identities, And Decolonial Resistance Through Sport, Ilina Arsova, Lars Dzikus

Journal of Global South Sport Studies

This paper explores the hybrid identities of Indigenous Bolivian women mountaineers, focusing on how they embrace and resist elements of both Indigenous and Western traditions through sports. Challenging dominant Western narratives of mountaineering (Rak, 2021), these women engage in climbing as an act of cultural preservation (Haynes, 2013; Rak, 2021) and gender advocacy (U.N. Women, 2021). Informed by Indigenous feminism (Caravajal, 2019; Green, 2020) and social identity theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979), the study explores the intersections of gender, culture, and mountain sports in the South American Andes. Through an interpretivist lens, this study uses narrative inquiry (Clandinin & Connelly, …

The Phoenix Trauma Response Model (Ptrm): An Integrative And Innovative Approach To Trauma Recovery And Growth, Latesha S. Holloman, Lauren B. Robins, Tammie Willis, Courtney V. Morris

Journal of Human Services Scholarship and Interprofessional Collaboration

Trauma is increasingly understood as a developmentally consequential experience that shapes identity, regulation, and relational functioning across the lifespan. Although trauma-informed care, resilience theory, posttraumatic growth, and narrative approaches have expanded understanding of recovery, few frameworks articulate a structured developmental progression that integrates prevention, intervention, and intergenerational transformation within a unified model. The Phoenix Trauma Response Model (PTRM) addresses this gap by introducing a cyclical, phase-based framework organized around four interrelated processes: Recognition, Reframing, Reclamation, and Replication of Strength. Central to the model is the construct of conversion potential, defined as the structured capacity to translate distress into purposeful …

Hybrid Vortex-Resonant Seismic Isolation Module, Michael Victor Caldwell Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

By Michael Victor Caldwell, Mr., GCI ([email protected])

Abstract Hybrid Vortex-Resonant Seismic Isolation Module is a structural isolation device that integrates non-linear fluid viscous damping (FVD, F=Cv^α with α≈0.3–0.5), inerter-based tuned mass damping (TMDI), and gyroscopic stabilization within a single module. Arachne-patterned micro-channels (proprietary flow geometry) stabilize high-viscosity MR fluid into controlled vortex paths, converting lateral seismic shear into rotational momentum while preventing cavitation.

Key features: - Dual counter-rotating masses (CRM) provide 10–50x inertia amplification and broadband tuning (0.5–5 Hz). - Self-centering via gravity and viscous overflow; optional low-power piezo reset. - Housing uses high-strength alloys suitable for 121°C autoclaving.

Performance Evaluation Of Self-Compacting Geopolymer Concrete With Recycled Brick Aggregate Under Varied Curing And Temperature Conditions, Thavasumony Dhasan, Raid S. Alrashidi, Muhammad Saleem, Joonaith C. Veedu, Shahnawaz Alam

Yanbu Journal of Engineering and Science

In recent days, Self-Compacting Geopolymer Concrete (SCGC) has the potential to revolutionize concrete technology by combining the benefits of both Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) and Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). The production of SCGC requires proper selection of materials and proportions to achieve a composite concrete with a refined pore structure and low permeability. Additionally, chemical and mineral admixtures play a crucial role in enhancing and refining the pore structure of SCGC, as mineral admixtures reduce the absorbency of the cement matrix further and improve the porosity of the aggregates. In this investigation, the impact of high temperatures on the properties of SCGC …

Additionally, Spline, Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Kriging, Natural Neighbor, and Radial Basis Functions are used to assess the precision and efficacy of several interpolation techniques. The investigation's conclusions showed that the ``natural neighbor'' strategy was …

Primary Small Vessel Central Nervous System Vasculitis Presenting As A Parietotemporal Mass: A Case Report, William Jaffee, Anastasia Tsomides, Emily Cathey

Journal of Maine Medical Center

Introduction: Primary central nervous system vasculitis (PCNSV) of small vessels is an exceedingly rare presentation of vasculitis. Diagnosis typically takes many months, requires multiple diagnostic modalities, and includes a positive biopsy in less than 50% of cases. We present a unique case of PCNSV that will help clinicians identify this rare disease. Clinical Findings: A man in his 60s presented with confusion and aphasia and was found to have a parietotemporal brain mass. The mass was heterogenous, with inflammatory, cystic, necrotic, and hemorrhagic components. Two separate brain biopsies underwent review at 3 institutions before the diagnosis was made. Clinical Course: …

Civil Liability In Airbnb Transactions And The Legal Gaps In Consumer Protection In Vietnam, Tuan Ngoc Tran

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

The rapid growth of the collaborative or sharing economy has posed numerous challenges to traditional legal systems, particularly in relation to short-term accommodation. As a decentralized, intermediary platform, Airbnb raises complex legal issues concerning the allocation of civil liability, enforceability of contracts, and mechanisms for consumer protection. In the context of Vietnamese law, where there is a lack of clear regulatory frameworks to govern digital platforms, consumers risk having their rights infringed without effective legal remedies. The article focuses on three core issues: the legal classification of hosts on Airbnb, the enforceability of clickwrap contracts, and the cross-border enforceability of …

Bot-Theology: Inviting, Prosperous, And (In)Authentic Community, Daniel Jesse

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

The paper analyzes the theology, emotions, and community formation of the bots who post on YouTube and the people who respond to them. The paper finds that the bots’ theology is evangelical, charismatic, and prosperity-oriented. The paper also finds that the people who respond to the bots are sincere, supportive, and expressive, and that they create a virtual community of faith that is joyful, hopeful, and trusting. The paper suggests that virtual gatherings of Christians need more scholarly attention and that more research is needed on the emotional formation and theological implications of these online interactions.

Spectroscopy And Photochemistry Of The Astrochemical Molecules Sicp And Alcp, Vincent J. Esposito, Tarek Trabelsi, Rebecca Firth, Ryan C. Fortenberry, Joseph S. Francisco

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Through characterization of the electronic excited-state topology, linear-SiCP is predicted to be photostable in the UV region, whereas linear-AlCP is predicted to undergo photodissociation to form Al+CP products after absorption of light in the 200–250 nm range, representing a catalytic process for freeing aluminum molecules from a solid dust grain. Both SiCP and AlCP are predicted to have electronic transitions with large absorption cross sections (∼10^–17 cm²) and to undergo fluorescence from bound excited states. The total electronic absorption spectrum is provided to inform electronic spectroscopy experiments. Silicon (SiC) and aluminum (Al₂O₃) dust …

Unapologetically Her: Leadership Lessons From Mom, Seth D. Kastle Ed.D., Courtney Imhoff

Leadership Faculty Publications

The narrative of this article is a culmination of two lived experiences of the children of Melanie Elliott: Seth Kastle and Courtney Imhoff. Our mother has been the foundational influence on who we are and has been the catalyst in our development of a bias for action, a willingness to lead and a drive to take care of others. Through the process of writing, it became evident that, rather than conflating the overall narrative of this article into one voice, the stories were better told when preserved in their individual narratives. The reader will note that above each paragraph is …

Pursuing Social Progress: The Question Of Orientation, Keith Hankins, Ryan Muldoon, David Wiens

Philosophy Faculty Articles and Research

We examine the “problem of social change”, focusing on whether efforts should be oriented toward long-term ideals or piecemeal improvements. We analyse the trade-off between these approaches: pursuing ideals may require short-term sacrifices, while incremental changes may hinder realizing an ideal. We introduce an analytical framework for structuring thought experiments that can provide traction on these issues, and present two implementations that provide baseline insights and motivate further research. We conclude with suggestions for extending our framework in ways that can yield insights that can guide our choice of orientation.

Ifn Signaling Is Associated With Radiotherapy Response In Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors., Iowis Zhu, Julian Chien, Gabriel E Rech, Kanish Mirchia, Sixuan Pan, Kaeli Miller, Joanna Pak, Rosanna Wustrack, Varun Monga, Steve E Braunstein, Mark D Adams, Line Jacques, Melike Pekmezci, S John Liu, Harish N Vasudevan

Faculty Research 2026

Patients with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) have poor outcomes despite multimodal treatment with surgery, radiation, and systemic therapy. The responses to radiotherapy (RT) are mixed, and the biologic mechanisms underlying this heterogeneity in the radiation response of MPNSTs are not understood. Here, we combined bulk and single-cell transcriptomics, genome-wide CRISPR interference screens, and multiplatform molecular analysis across MPNST cells, mouse allograft models, and patients' samples to understand the mediators of the radiation response. Our data revealed that MPNSTs, but not benign plexiform neurofibromas, induced a type I IFN signature that functionally mediated the radiation response. Moreover, irradiation of …
