description: Arti Gupta graduated from the National Law School of India University, Bangalore in 2022, with a degree in B.A. LL.B. (Hons.). At law school, she explored her research interests in queer theory, postcolonial theory, female sexual abuse, and critique of the human rights discourse. This paper was written over a duration of 18 months as three essays for three separate courses. This paper is a combined, expanded and edited version of all three essays. Currently, Arti is practicing as an Advocate at the Supreme Court of India.
description: In September 2018, the Supreme Court of India in Navtej Johar v. Union of India, decriminalised consensual same-sex sexual activities by reading down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code. A significant aspect of the Court’s reasoning was that Section 377 was an embodiment of ‘Judeo-Christian’ morality and a colonial imposition. In providing that reasoning, the judgment does not stand alone. For a long time, various revisionist accounts of religious texts and scriptures have been presented to argue that ancient ‘Indian culture’ had been tolerant towards non-normative sex and gender, and ‘homophobia’ was simply a British imposition. Such revisionist arguments had initially been put forth by Indian queer rights groups to nullify the orthodox homophobic attitudes, which rested on the claim that homosexuality is alien to ‘our culture’. However, this article argues that there has been an increasing cooptation of such accounts by dominant Hindu Right groups for their political ends. This article also shows that such reliance on the past (through scriptures or otherwise) to confer legitimacy on the present can have the effect of constraining the radical potentialities of that past. At the end, this article argues for a turn towards the future, which, creating new solidarities, can become a horizon of possibilities.

description: The goal of this project is to study the structure and pace of cognitive development in a range of different domains longitudinally. We ask how different cognitive domains are related at different ages and how developmental change is timed in the different domains. In addition, we will ask how performance at a given age as well as the pace of developmental change are related to aspects of children’s everyday experience (assessed through questionnaires). Such a project requires reliable tasks to measure individual differences in different cognitive domains. In this study, we, therefore, assess the re-test reliability of five cognitive tasks (see below) for children between 2 and 4 years of age. Future studies will do the same for a different set of tasks and eventually, a selection of (highly reliable) tasks will be used in a longitudinal study.

description: Timothy Lundy is an editor, teacher, and researcher whose interests include literary theory, early modern history, and political thought, especially in relation to gender and education. He received his PhD in English and Comparative Literature from Columbia University in 2021. This paper draws on research from his PhD dissertation, which studies sixteenth- and seventeenth-century fiction writers who wanted their books to transform readers into better participants in intellectual community and political life.
description: The influence of democratic ideas on the political thought of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe is often considered in relationship to history, theology, and law, but less often in relationship to poetry. For this reason, poetry offers unexplored resources for thinking through the value of public deliberation and judgment, even under decidedly non-democratic constitutions. In this paper, I examine the political thought of the Scottish humanist George Buchanan (1506–82) in the context of his philosophical dialogue De iure regni and his Biblical tragedy Baptistes. Buchanan’s political thought was recognized as radical in its own day for the strong limits it placed on monarchical power and prerogative and the authority it vested in the people to restrain kings and depose tyrants. I argue, however, that what is most interesting for the history of democracy—as well as for political thought today—is Buchanan’s development of arguments for the judgment of the common people as a privileged site of political insight and, by extension, for the practical value of public deliberation and transparent government.

description: Fabiola Gretzinger graduated from the University of Minnesota Law School in May 2022, with concentrations in International Law and Human Rights. Throughout her professional and academic career, Fabiola has focused on international women’s rights, with an emphasis on reproductive health and gender-based violence. Currently, Fabiola is a legal fellow with the Legal Strategies, Innovation and Research team at the Center for Reproductive Rights.
description: This paper details the history and successes of the #NiUnaMenos movement, and subsequently the Marea Verde (Green Wave) movement, throughout Latin America. After the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a massive increase in domestic violence and gender-based violence rates throughout the region. Similarly, the United States just stripped women of their constitutional right to an abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. This evidences how important this movement is throughout Latin America, and for the rest of the world, to understand how social, political, and legal movements can continue to protect women’s rights. Comparing successes and setbacks both before and after COVID-19, this paper establishes how governments and movements alike should proceed to ensure women’s rights are strengthened and protected.
Design and methods of the NiCK study: neurocognitive assessment and magnetic resonance imaging analysis of children and young adults with chronic kidney disease
Creators: name: Hooper, Stephen R.
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2015

description: Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease is strongly linked to neurocognitive deficits in adults and children, but the pathophysiologic processes leading to these deficits remain poorly understood. The NiCK study (Neurocognitive Assessment and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis of Children and Young Adults with Chronic Kidney Disease) seeks to address critical gaps in our understanding of the biological basis for neurologic abnormalities in chronic kidney disease. In this report, we describe the objectives, design, and methods of the NiCK study. Design/methods The NiCK Study is a cross-sectional cohort study in which neurocognitive and neuroimaging phenotyping is performed in children and young adults, aged 8 to 25 years, with chronic kidney disease compared to healthy controls. Assessments include (1) comprehensive neurocognitive testing (using traditional and computerized methods); (2) detailed clinical phenotyping; and (3) multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess brain structure (using T1-weighted MRI, T2-weighted MRI, and diffusion tensor imaging), functional connectivity (using functional MRI), and blood flow (using arterial spin labeled MRI). Primary analyses will examine group differences in neurocognitive testing and neuroimaging between subjects with chronic kidney disease and healthy controls. Mechanisms responsible for neurocognitive dysfunction resulting from kidney disease will be explored by examining associations between neurocognitive testing and regional changes in brain structure, functional connectivity, or blood flow. In addition, the neurologic impact of kidney disease comorbidities such as anemia and hypertension will be explored. We highlight aspects of our analytical approach that illustrate the challenges and opportunities posed by data of this scope. Discussion The NiCK study provides a unique opportunity to address key questions about the biological basis of neurocognitive deficits in chronic kidney disease. Understanding these mechanisms could have great public health impact by guiding screening strategies, delivery of health information, and targeted treatment strategies for chronic kidney disease and its related comorbidities.

description: We perform an optical spectroscopy study to investigate the properties of different artificial MoS$_2$ bi- and trilayer stacks created from individual monolayers by a deterministic transfer process. These twisted bi- and trilayers differ from the common 2H stacking in mineral MoS$_2$ in the relative stacking angle of adjacent layers and the interlayer distance. The combination of Raman spectroscopy, second-harmonic-generation microscopy and photoluminescence measurements allows us to determine the degree of interlayer coupling in our samples. We find that even for electronically decoupled artificial structures, which show the same valley polarization degree as the constituent MoS$_2$ monolayers at low temperatures, there is a resonant energy transfer between individual layers which acts as an effective luminescence quenching mechanism.

description: Abstract Introduction Tumor-initiating cells (TIC) are being extensively studied for their role in tumor etiology, maintenance and resistance to treatment. The isolation of TICs has been limited by the scarcity of this population in the tissue of origin and because the molecular signatures that characterize these cells are not well understood. Herein, we describe the generation of TIC-like cell lines by ectopic expression of the OCT4 transcription factor (TF) in primary breast cell preparations. Methods OCT4 cDNA was over-expressed in four different primary human mammary epithelial (HMEC) breast cell preparations from reduction mammoplasty donors. OCT4-transduced breast cells (OTBCs) generated colonies (frequency ~0.01%) in self-renewal conditions (feeder cultures in human embryonic stem cell media). Differentiation assays, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry were performed to investigate the cell of origin of OTBCs. Serial dilutions of OTBCs were injected in nude mice to address their tumorigenic capabilities. Gene expression microarrays were performed in OTBCs, and the role of downstream targets of OCT4 in maintaining self-renewal was investigated by knock-down experiments. Results OTBCs overcame senescence, overexpressed telomerase, and down-regulated p16INK4A . In differentiation conditions, OTBCs generated populations of both myoepithelial and luminal cells at low frequency, suggesting that the cell of origin of some OTBCs was a bi-potent stem cell. Injection of OTBCs in nude mice generated poorly differentiated breast carcinomas with colonization capabilities. Gene expression microarrays of OTBC lines revealed a gene signature that was over-represented in the claudin-low molecular subtype of breast cancer. Lastly, siRNA-mediated knockdown of OCT4 or downstream embryonic targets of OCT4, such as NANOG and ZIC1, suppressed the ability of OTBCs to self-renew. Conclusions Transduction of OCT4 in normal breast preparations led to the generation of cell lines possessing tumor-initiating and colonization capabilities. These cells developed high-grade, poorly differentiated breast carcinomas in nude mice. Genome-wide analysis of OTBCs outlined an embryonic TF circuitry that could be operative in TICs, resulting in up-regulation of oncogenes and loss of tumor suppressive functions. These OTBCs represent a patient-specific model system for the discovery of novel oncogenic targets in claudin-low tumors.

description: The accumulation of microbial necromass carbon has drawn mounting attention due to the slow decomposition. However, it remains unclear what determines the microbial necromass carbon accumulation via reiterated community turnover on large spatial scales. This study aimed to explore the characteristics of soil necromass carbon accumulation in terrestrial ecosystems. A dataset was compiled with 993 observations on the coefficient of microbial carbon accumulation in the equilibrium from 82 peer-reviewed papers. The linear mixed-effect models and structural equation models were used to ascertain the controlling factors of NAC on a global scale. The average NAC was higher in croplands (28.2) and forests (26.8) than that in grasslands (21.1). Although the edaphic factors seemingly affect the NAC whereby the NAC lowered in soils with high levels of pH and clay content on a global scale, the biotic factors, particularly for the living microorganism abundance and microbial biomass nitrogen content, were the pivotal drivers of NAC that accounted for approximately 42.5% of the geographic variances in NAC. More organic carbon was likely to be preserved in soil with a higher NAC regardless of ecosystem types. Novel findings on the overriding controls from the living microorganism abundance and microbial biomass nitrogen in driving NAC raise an urgent need for viable strategies in manipulating microbial characteristics for carbon sequestrations.

description: Nano-materials, such as metal-organic frameworks, have been considered to capture CO$_2$. However, their application has been limited largely because they exhibit poor selectivity for flue gases and low capture capacity under low pressures. We perform a high-throughput screening for selective CO$_2$ capture from flue gases by using first principles thermodynamics. We find that elements with empty d orbitals selectively attract CO$_2$ from gaseous mixtures under low CO$_2$ pressures at 300 K and release it at ~450 K. CO$_2$ binding to elements involves hybridization of the metal d orbitals with the CO$_2$ $π$ orbitals and CO$_2$-transition metal complexes were observed in experiments. This result allows us to perform high-throughput screening to discover novel promising CO$_2$ capture materials with empty d orbitals and predict their capture performance under various conditions. Moreover, these findings provide physical insights into selective CO$_2$ capture and open a new path to explore CO$_2$ capture materials.

description: During the 1999 CIP Conference in Montreal, I presented two initiatives. The first of these was the Sustainable Cities Initiative of the National Roundtable on the Environment and Economy, an initiative which I chaired from 1997 to early 1999. The second was the Georgia-Puget Basin project, which involves a number of activities focused on a "smart growth" strategy and action plan for the immensely challenging geographic area encompassing Vancouver, Victoria, and Seattle. In this article, I will give brief descriptions of these two exciting strategic activities involving urban sustainability. I will then show how they are linked, and conclude with a challenge to Canadian planners to help create a practitioner-friendly approach to urban sustainability both at home and abroad. As we approach the twenty-first century -the first truly urban century, when more people will live in cities than in the countryside- there are huge opportunities for Canadian planners and business people to do good and do well.

description: This article summarizes a keynote address that was delivered to the 1999 CIP Conference. It looks at how the global information society is reshaping urban systems, cities, towns and communities, and what planners could be doing to anticipate and respond to these radical transformations in work living business and urban environments. Seven "key drivers" of change are presented, thus providing a framework to help planners analyze change in their own communities. Some urban outcomes associated with these trends are described. Finally, suggestions are put forward regarding the ways in which planners should respond to the changes, in order to take advantage of the many opportunities presented by the global information society, and to mitigate potential problems.
description: Cet article résume un discours-programme prononcé au Congrès de l'ICU en iuin 1999.

Les sept principaux «fadeurs de changement dans la la société d'information globale» qui y sont décrits servent de base de travail permettant aux urbanistes d'analyser l'evolution de leur propre communauté. L'auteur énumère ensuite les effets les plus marquants de ces tendances sur le milieu urbain. Enfin, il avance quelques suggestions sur les stratégies que devraient adopter les urbanistes face à ces changements afin de mettre à profit les nombreuses possibilités offertes par la la société d'information globale et d'amoindrir les pièges éventuels.

description: Abstract Background The United States National Physical Activity Plan (NPAP; 2010), the country’s first national plan for physical activity, provides strategies to increase population-level physical activity to complement the 2008 physical activity guidelines. This study examined state public health practitioner awareness, dissemination, use, challenges, and recommendations for the NPAP. Methods In 2011–2012, we interviewed 27 state practitioners from 25 states. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were coded using a standard protocol, verified and reconciled by an independent coder, and input into qualitative software to facilitate development of common themes. Results NPAP awareness was high among state practitioners; dissemination to local constituents varied. Development of state-level strategies and goals was the most frequently reported use of the NPAP. Some respondents noted the usefulness of the NPAP for coalitions and local practitioners. Challenges to the plan included implementation cost, complexity, and consistency with other policies. The most frequent recommendation made was to directly link examples of implementation activities to the plan. Conclusions These results provide early evidence of NPAP dissemination and use, along with challenges encountered and suggestions for future iterations. Public health is one of eight sectors in the NPAP. Further efforts are needed to understand uptake and use by other sectors, as well as to monitor long-term relevance, progress, and collaboration across sectors.

description: Abstract Background Surveillance for drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum should be a component of malaria control programmes. Real-time PCR methods for the detection of parasite single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and gene amplification could be useful survellance tools. Methods A real-time PCR assay has been developed that identifies single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at amino acids 86, 184, 1034 and 1042 in the P. falciparum multi-drug resistant (pfmdr 1) gene that may be associated with anti-malarial drug resistance. Results This assay has a sensitivity and specificity of 94% and 100% when compared to traditional PCR methods for genotyping. Only 54 of 68 (79%) paired pre- and post-culture DNA samples were concordant at all four loci. Conclusion Real-time PCR is a sensitive and specific method to detect SNP's in pfmdr 1. Genotypes of parasites after in vitro culture may not reflect that seen in vivo.

description: We present a complete set of local unitary invariants for generic multi-qubit systems which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for two states being local unitary equivalent. These invariants are canonical polynomial functions in terms of the generalized Bloch representation of the quantum states. In particular, we prove that there are at most 12 polynomial local unitary invariants for two-qubit states and at most 90 polynomials for three-qubit states. Comparison with Makhlin's 18 local unitary invariants is given for two-quibit systems.

Entwicklung einer Multiskalenmethode für die Simulation von Schmierprozessen

description: Reibung und Schmierung sind Multiskalenprobleme, d.h. Prozesse auf unterschiedlichen Zeit- und Längenskalen beeinflussen einander und bestimmen die makroskopische Antwort eines Systems. Für Schmierungsprozesse trifft dies insbesondere im Grenzreibungsbereich zu, in dem die Dicke des Schmierspalts in der Größenordnung molekularer Interaktionslängen liegt. Makroskopische Schmierungsmodellierung basiert fast ausschließlich auf der Anwendung der Reynoldsgleichung, während auf atomarer Skala vermehrt Molekulardynamik-Simulationen in den Vordergrund treten. Multiskalenmethoden für Schmierungsphänomene, die über sequentielle Ansätze hinausgehen, sind bisher noch nicht etabliert. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird ein Multiskalenansatz vorgestellt, welcher die Lösung der makroskopischen Bilanzgleichungen in ein Mikro- und Makroproblem aufteilt. Das Makroproblem entsteht durch Mittelung der Bilanzgleichungen über der Spalthöhe, ähnlich zur konventionellen Reynoldsgleichung, und wird mittels expliziter Finite-Volumen-Diskretisierung gelöst, während das Mikroproblem das konstitutive Verhalten des Schmierfilms enthält. Die numerische Implementierung des Makroproblems wird mithilfe gewöhnlicher Konstitutivgesetze validiert und anhand konkreter Beispiele wird gezeigt, dass diese in Zukunft durch Molekulardynamik-Simulationen ersetzt werden können. Außerdem lassen sich analytische Lösungen der linearisierten Grundgleichungen des Makroproblems herleiten, die mit Autokorrelationsfunktionen fluktuierender Zustandsvariablen aus Molekulardynamik-Simulationen verglichen werden. Daraus ergibt sich eine Methode zur simultanen Bestimmung von Viskosität und Schlupflänge aus Gleichgewichts-Simulationen, sowie die Beschreibung des überkritischen Schalltransports in Fluidspalten. Für eine effiziente Umsetzung des vorgestellten Multiskalenansatzes wird eine Ersatzmodellierung benötigt, die zwischen einzelnen Mikrosimulationen interpoliert. Anhand von einfachen Beispielen wird das Anwendungspotential der Gaußprozess-Regression als mögliches Ersatzmodell evaluiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit liefert somit die theoretischen Grundlagen einer simultanen Multiskalensimulation von Schmierungsprozessen, welche in Zukunft zu einem besseren Verständnis der Dissipationsmechanismen im Grenzreibungsbereich beitragen kann.

description: Abstract With increased globalization and interdependence among countries, sustained health worker migration and the complex threats of rapidly spreading infectious diseases, as well as changing lifestyles, a strong health workforce is essential. Building the human resources for health should not only include healthcare professionals like physicians and nurses, but must take into consideration community health workers, mid-level workers and strengthened primary healthcare systems to increase coverage and address the basic health needs of societies. This is especially true in low and middle-income countries where healthcare access is a critical challenge. There is a global crisis in the health workforce, expressed in acute shortages and maldistribution of health workers, geographically and professionally. This massive global shortage, though imprecise quantitatively, is estimated at more than 4 million workers. To respond to this crisis, policies and actions are needed to address the dynamics of the health labour market and the production and management of the health workforce, and to strengthen the performance of existing health systems. Schools of public health need to develop the range of capacity and leadership in addition to the traditional training of healthcare managers and researchers. Countries should first identify their health problems in order to properly address their health worker needs, retention, recruitment and training, if they are to come close to reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for health.
