Modeling maternal and neonatal pertussis immunization
Creators: name: Hall, Jonah Brooks
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: I used mechanistic ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to model the maternal and neonatal immune responses to pertussis (Tdap) immunization. I recapitulated the dynamics of IgG, long and short-lived plasma cells (PCs), memory B cells, and immune complexes and used their results as a metric of short and long-term protection against pertussis. I developed a metric of the risk of severe infection in neonates that incorporated the protection of maternal origin IgG and used it to optimize the timing of the maternal vaccination as well as the first and second shots of the neonatal vaccination series. I found that vaccinating in the 32nd week of pregnancy (𝑡ᵥₘ = −76 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠) resulted in the lowest short-term risk posed to neonates in the first year of life. I found that vaccinating neonates as late as possible (10 months) and with a significant gap in between immunizations had a potential benefit to short-term immunity. When using this thesis’ metric of risk I found that neonates from unvaccinated mothers benefit from an initial vaccination date of 109 days after birth (compared to 120 in North America). I modeled the significant effect that maternal antibody interference has on neonatal immune dynamics and contrasted its hindering effect with its short-term protection of neonates. The model suggests a clear increase in the overall risk of a severe pertussis infection in the first year of life in a neonate born to an unvaccinated mother compared to that of a vaccinated mother. I found that despite a lack of quantifiable calculation of necessary parameters in the model, one can still recapitulate the dynamics of pertussis to a relative degree of accuracy and give effective insights into the optimization of the pertussis vaccination strategy. Future clinical work into the estimation of the rates of IgG production by plasma cells, the composition of the B cell population, and the clearance of immune cells and complexes would have a significant impact on increasing the accuracy of the model and of similar equations representing complex immune processes.

description: I must, at the outset, disclose my “multiple partiality”.. . I have been an unconditional admirer of Justice Ginsburg and her jurisprudence since she was appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States. Since older, afortiori our respective backgrounds as early career women in law offer a lot of similarity, and I was myself the second woman to sit on the Supreme Court of Canada. Further disclosure: Justice Ginsburg and I share a passion: opera and a fate (or is it a curse?)-dissents. Her vision of equality and, in particular, gender justice has inspired many. I am one of those. Gender justice is part and parcel of the much larger issue: that of equality. A discussion about equality must start with the question: why is equality so important both for the law and the people? The answer for me is simple: inequality is injustice, it is the negation of human dignity. My own definition of gender equality is the “extraordinary” notion that women are human beings entitled to the same respect, consideration and opportunities as other members of society. That definition applies, mutalis mutandis, to all those subject to discrimination by reason of their ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, social status, etc. Justice Brennan said it this way: “Human relations are extremely complex” and “the law is there to serve . .. the realization of man’s ends, the ultimate and the ‘immediate . . . the realization of human dignity through full opportunity and the eradication of bias.” Full opportunity for women is a theme that resonates more than once in Justice Ginsburg’s jurisprudence.

description: We consider spherical gravitational perturbations of AdS4 space-time satisfying general boundary conditions at spatial infinity. Using the holographic renormalization method, we compute the energy-momentum tensor and show that it can always be cast in the form of Cotton tensor for a dual boundary metric. In particular, axial and polar perturbations obeying the same boundary conditions for the effective Schrodinger wave-functions exhibit an energy-momentum/Cotton tensor duality at conformal infinity. We demonstrate explicitly that this is holographic manifestation of the electric/magnetic duality of linearized gravity in the bulk, which simply exchanges axial with polar perturbations of AdS4 space-time. We note on the side that this particular realization of gravitational duality is also valid for perturbations near flat and dS4 space-time, depending on the value of cosmological constant.

Opening the Door: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Law’s Boundaries, and the Gender of Opportunities
Creators: name: Resnik, Judith
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2013

description: A pervasive assumption is that nation-states have bounded legal regimes. Yet the burdens imposed on women in the name of gender and sexuality have not been circumscribed by jurisdictional lines. Rather, gender hierarchies have traveled-by way of Roman law, civil law, the common law, and religious systems-to impose constraints on women living under autocracies, republican democracies, and other political forms. The many laws supporting gender inequalities make plain that legal rules internal to a nation-state are often not indigenous to a particular polity but, instead, are regularly shaped by cross-border influences. Similarly, efforts to interrupt inequalities know no jurisdictional bounds. In tension with the classical model of state-to-state international law production, human rights movements of this and of other eras result from diverse exchanges across jurisdictional hierarchies. Illustrative are the equality projects of earlier centuries-emancipation for slaves and equality for women of all colors-that spanned oceans through networks of local religious and secular societies communicating (before the internet) via the post, pamphleteering, and the press to demand legal reforms. Indeed, one can understand women’s groups as the original “NGOs”-organizations that were nongovernmental not by choice but by exclusion and yet remarkably generative.

description: The rapid loss of reef-building corals due to ocean warming is driving the development of interventions such as coral propagation and restoration, selective breeding and assisted gene flow. Many of these interventions target naturally heat-tolerant individuals to boost climate resilience, but the challenges of quickly and reliably quantifying heat tolerance and identifying thermotolerant individuals have hampered implementation. Here, we used coral bleaching automated stress systems to perform rapid, standardized heat tolerance assays on 229 colonies of Acropora cervicornis across six coral nurseries spanning Florida's Coral Reef Tract, USA. Analysis of heat stress dose–response curves for each colony revealed a broad range in thermal tolerance among individuals (approx. 2.5°C range in Fv/Fm ED50), with highly reproducible rankings across independent tests (r = 0.76). Most phenotypic variation occurred within nurseries rather than between them, pointing to a potentially dominant role of fixed genetic effects in setting thermal tolerance and widespread distribution of tolerant individuals throughout the population. The identification of tolerant individuals provides immediately actionable information to optimize nursery and restoration programmes for Florida's threatened staghorn corals. This work further provides a blueprint for future efforts to identify and source thermally tolerant corals for conservation interventions worldwide.

Equality and Choice: Sex Equality Perspectives on Reproduction Rights in the Work of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Creators: name: Siegel, Reva B.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2013

description: This brief essay explores the sex-equality perspective on reproductive rights that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has articulated over four decades as lawyer, law professor, judge, and Justice. Throughout her career, Ginsburg has viewed laws that deprive women of control over whether and when they bear children as raising questions of equality, as well as liberty and privacy. Ginsburg and other feminists of the 1970s argued that, given the social organization of caregiving work, the state may not deprive women of control over the decision to become mothers without depriving them of equal citizenship.

description: Subclonal reconstruction algorithms use bulk DNA sequencing data to quantify parameters of tumor evolution, allowing an assessment of how cancers initiate, progress and respond to selective pressures. We launched the ICGC-TCGA (International Cancer Genome Consortium-The Cancer Genome Atlas) DREAM Somatic Mutation Calling Tumor Heterogeneity and Evolution Challenge to benchmark existing subclonal reconstruction algorithms. This 7-year community effort used cloud computing to benchmark 31 subclonal reconstruction algorithms on 51 simulated tumors. Algorithms were scored on seven independent tasks, leading to 12,061 total runs. Algorithm choice influenced performance substantially more than tumor features but purity-adjusted read depth, copy-number state and read mappability were associated with the performance of most algorithms on most tasks. No single algorithm was a top performer for all seven tasks and existing ensemble strategies were unable to outperform the best individual methods, highlighting a key research need. All containerized methods, evaluation code and datasets are available to support further assessment of the determinants of subclonal reconstruction accuracy and development of improved methods to understand tumor evolution.

PERSONALITY PATHOLOGY, AFFECTIVE EXPRESSION, AND DYADIC INTERACTIONS
Creators: name: Ingram, Samantha
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: Personality pathology has been consistently linked with negative relationship outcomes, though little work has focused on interpersonal dynamics that might explain the association between the two. In the current study, we used Actor Partner Interdependence Modeling (APIM) with self-reported personality features from the Personality Inventory for the DSM-4+ for individuals in committed romantic relationships. Scores on the personality disorder scales were used to predict self-reported change in positive and negative affect across a conflict resolution task as well as variability in affective valance and arousal during the conflict resolution task as coded by third-party raters. In general, both positive and negative affect increased after the conflict resolution task as compared to before. Variability in emotional arousal appeared largely unrelated to PD features. The most consistent finding across models was that change in internal affect and variability in expressed affect was most related to men’s PD features but not women’s, with some exceptions. Taken together, results suggest that couples are likely to exhibit greater variability in affect during conflict in couples in which a male partner is high in PD features.

description: This paper concerns a modified approach of compressing Short Bengali Text Message for small devices. The prime objective of this research technique is to establish a low complexity compression scheme suitable for small devices having small memory and relatively lower processing speed. The basic aim is not to compress text of any size up to its maximum level without having any constraint on space and time, rather than the main target is to compress short messages up to an optimal level which needs minimum space, consume less time and the processor requirement is lower. We have implemented Character Masking, Dictionary Matching, Associative rule of data mining and Hyphenation algorithm for syllable based compression in hierarchical steps to achieve low complexity lossless compression of text message for any mobile devices. The scheme to choose the diagrams are performed on the basis of extensive statistical model and the static Huffman coding is done through the same context.

description: We present a uniform mid-infrared imaging and photometric survey of 36 young, nearby, star-forming clusters and groups using {\it Spitzer} IRAC and MIPS. We have confidently identified and classified 2548 young stellar objects using recently established mid-infrared color-based methods. We have devised and applied a new algorithm for the isolation of local surface density enhancements from point source distributions, enabling us to extract the overdense cores of the observed star forming regions for further analysis. We have compiled several basic structural measurements of these cluster cores from the data, such as mean surface densities of sources, cluster core radii, and aspect ratios, in order to characterize the ranges for these quantities. We find that a typical cluster core is 0.39 pc in radius, has 26 members with infrared excess in a ratio of Class II to Class I sources of 3.7, is embedded in a $A_K$=0.8 mag cloud clump, and has a surface density of 60 pc$^{-2}$. We examine the nearest neighbor distances among the YSOs in several ways, demonstrating similarity in the spacings between Class II and Class I sources but large member clusters appear more dense than smaller clusters. We demonstrate that near-uniform source spacings in cluster cores are common, suggesting that simple Jeans fragmentation of parsec-scale cloud clumps may be the dominant process governing star formation in nearby clusters and groups. Finally, we compare our results to other similar surveys in the literature and discuss potential biases in the data to guide further interpretation.

Litigating Sex Discrimination Cases in the 1970s

description: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 made it unlawful for an employer to hire or fire an employee or to discriminate by classifying, compensating, or denying opportunity to an employee on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Sex as a protected category was an afterthought. The bill was opposed by many in Congress, among them a Virginia representative who caused the bill to be amended to add sex- perhaps expecting that the protection of women-workers would result in killing the bill. Another Congressman proposed that a woman should not be permitted to claim sex discrimination unless she filed a sworn statement that her spouse was unemployed. Those maneuvers failed, and the Act passed. It went into effect on July 1, 1965. Though Title VII promised women equality of employment opportunity, even many supporters of women’s rights were committed to protecting women as workers while preserving their traditional roles as wives and mothers. I recommend to you the scholarship of Cary Franklin for a wonderful and illuminating look back at these times.

City planning for extinction : eugenics, anti-Indigeneity, and the haunted city-organism in North Vancouver, 1903-1940
Creators: name: Facknitz, Hannah Sullivan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This thesis argues that settler-colonial governments in early twentieth-century North Vancouver used public health measures and urban planning policies in conjunction as a means of not only dispossessing Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh people of their land and their lives, but also of seeing such dispossession and death as inevitable. Through the careful study of archival materials, other primary sources, and secondary literature, I examine the intersecting effects of the Royal Commission on Indian Affairs for the Province of British Columbia (colloquially known as the McKenna-McBride Commission, or MMC) and the City of Vancouver and North Vancouver's health policies regarding the highly infectious disease tuberculosis, which, like today, remains deadly for underserved populations. The MMC sought to contest Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh title to reserve land on the North Shore, and as part of doing so, actively neglected healthcare provisions for Indigenous people living on reserve, and as an integral part of healthcare messaging, positioned Indigenous people as inherently vulnerable to disease. With an analysis rooted in critical disability studies, I argue that by letting an active planning for Indigenous extinction become a fundamental part of public health, education, urban, cultural, political, social, and economic planning in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Canada more broadly, we (settlers and our ancestors) allow(ed) assumptions of inevitable death pervade our individualistic, neoliberal society, which we continue to see reflected in our current crises around housing, land use and Indigenous sovereignty, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

description: The largest galaxies acquire their mass early on, when the Universe is still youthful. Cold streams violently feed these young galaxies a vast amount of fresh gas, resulting in very efficient star formation. Using a well resolved hydrodynamical simulation of galaxy formation, we demonstrate that these mammoth galaxies are already in place a couple of billion years after the Big Bang. Contrary to local starforming galaxies, where dust re-emits a large part of the stellar ultraviolet (UV) light at infrared and sub-millimetre wavelengths, our self-consistent modelling of dust extinction predicts that a substantial fraction of UV photons should escape from primordial galaxies. Such a model allows us to compute reliably the number of high redshift objects as a function of luminosity, and yields galaxies whose UV luminosities closely match those measured in the deepest observational surveys available. This agreement is remarkably good considering our admittedly still simple modelling of the interstellar medium (ISM) physics. The luminosity functions (LF) of virtual UV luminous galaxies coincide with the existing data over the whole redshift range from 4 to 7, provided cosmological parameters are set to their currently favoured values. Despite their considerable emission at short wavelengths, we anticipate that the counterparts of the brightest UV galaxies will be detected by future sub-millimetre facilities like ALMA

Initial results demonstrate clear UV excesses in most, but not all, brightest cluster galaxies in our sample. This UV excess is a direct indication of the presence of young massive stars and, therefore, recent star formation. We report on the physical extent of UV emission in these objects as well as their FUV-NUV colors, and compare GALEX inferred star formation rates to central cooling times, H-alpha and IR luminosities for our sample.

description: Autophagy is a highly regulated catabolic pathway that is potently induced by stressors including starvation and infection. An essential component of the autophagy pathway is an ATG16L1-containing E3-like enzyme, which is responsible for lipidating LC3B and driving autophagosome formation. ATG16L1 polymorphisms have been linked to the development of Crohn’s disease (CD) and phosphorylation of CD-associated ATG16L1 (caATG16L1) has been hypothesized to contribute to cleavage and autophagy dysfunction. Here we show that ULK1 kinase directly phosphorylates ATG16L1 in response to infection and starvation. Moreover, we show that ULK1-mediated phosphorylation drives the destabilization of caATG16L1 in response to stress. Additionally, we found that phosphorylated ATG16L1 was specifically localized to the site of internalized bacteria indicating a role for ATG16L1 in the promotion of anti-bacterial autophagy. Lastly, we show that stable cell lines harbouring a phospho-dead mutant of ATG16L1 have impaired xenophagy. In summary, our results show that ATG16L1 is a novel target of ULK1 kinase and that ULK1-signalling to ATG16L1 is a double-edged sword, enhancing function of the wildtype ATG16L1, but promoting degradation of caATG16L1.

description: Although Vancouver Island water supply has considerable reliance on surface water, catchments remain predominately ungauged and hydrologically data poor. The objective of this study is to enhance the understanding of hydrological model processes and advance regionalization of a distributed water balance model for potential application to runoff prediction in ungauged catchments. Ultimately, the current study contributes a regionalized distributed climate water balance that can be reliably employed for monthly runoff prediction in Pluvial and Hybrid catchments on Vancouver Island from 1981-2010. However, the study could not find sufficiently acceptable performance for Nival catchments through calibration. Precipitation and runoff spatiotemporal trends with implications on model performance are analyzed and discussed. Lastly, further research suggestions targeting model improvement and regionalization are provided.
Stochastic Line-Motion and Stochastic Conservation Laws for Non-Ideal Hydromagnetic Models. I. Incompressible Fluids and Isotropic Transport Coefficients

description: We prove that smooth solutions of non-ideal (viscous and resistive) incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations satisfy a stochastic law of flux conservation. This property involves an ensemble of surfaces obtained from a given, fixed surface by advecting it backward in time under the plasma velocity perturbed with a random white-noise. It is shown that the magnetic flux through the fixed surface is equal to the average of the magnetic fluxes through the ensemble of surfaces at earlier times. This result is an analogue of the well-known Alfven theorem of ideal MHD and is valid for any value of the magnetic Prandtl number. A second stochastic conservation law is shown to hold at unit Prandtl number, a random version of the generalized Kelvin theorem derived by Bekenstein-Oron for ideal MHD. These stochastic conservation laws are not only shown to be consequences of the non-ideal MHD equations, but are proved in fact to be equivalent to those equations. We derive similar results for two more refined hydromagnetic models, Hall magnetohydrodynamics and the two-fluid plasma model, still assuming incompressible velocities and isotropic transport coefficients. Finally, we use these results to discuss briefly the infinite-Reynolds-number limit of hydromagnetic turbulence and to support the conjecture that flux-conservation remains stochastic in that limit.

Rhetoric of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Brief Comparison of the Language of the Advocate with the Language of the Justice

Year: 2013

description: I worked with and for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the 1970s at the ACLU. I have been in private practice since then, mostly practicing employment law. As I was considering what to speak to you about today, I decided to look back at the briefs that Justice Ginsburg wrote in the 1970s. And as I read them, it occurred to me that there’s a very interesting difference between the way she framed her arguments those thirty-five years ago, the language she used, the results she sought then as an advocate, and the way she does those things now as a judge.

description: Thank you, Katherine Franke, for your kind introduction and to the Columbia Law School Center for Gender and Sexuality Law for hosting this event. I am privileged to moderate this conversation among distinguished scholars and activists, each of whom will offer a unique perspective on the women’s rights litigation of the 1970s. Justice Ginsburg spearheaded this litigation campaign, in collaboration with a number of our panelists. And I am tremendously honored to be part of this event celebrating Justice Ginsburg. As attorneys at the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project, my colleagues and I, under the leadership of our director Lenora Lapidus, try to carry forward the work of these litigators and scholars. I’m grateful for this opportunity to reflect on all that women’s rights litigators achieved during that era, and to think about how we can most effectively build on those accomplishments to advance the cause of gender equality. When I reflect on the groundbreaking litigation that our panelists undertook in the 1970s, I confront a paradox. On one hand, I am acutely aware of their revolutionary accomplishments in exposing and ultimately overturning a web of laws and practices that limited women’s equality. Yet, as a litigator and advocate, I spend most of my energy focusing on the remaining, entrenched inequality and devising ways to combat it. When I come to work in the morning, I focus on the part of the glass that is half empty.

description: Professor Gillian Metzger: Katherine, thank you for that wonderful overview of all that the Justice has achieved and the history of Columbia Law School. And I want to apologize for those to whom I am showing my back, but this will allow us to have more of a conversation with the Justice. Justice, thank you so much for being with us today. It is a real privilege for us to get to talk to you this way, and we know for the entire audience. You have had-as you have now heard (LAUGHS)-an amazing and just tremendously varied career, spanning so many different roles of academic, public interest advocate, judge, now Justice. We can’t possibly cover all of this in the time we have this morning, but what we are hoping to do is talk a little bit about each of these roles, how each step you took influenced the rest, and then we will be throwing it open after our conversation for questions from the audience.

description: The interdiction problem arises in a variety of areas including military logistics, infectious disease control, and counter-terrorism. In the typical formulation of network interdiction, the task of the interdictor is to find a set of edges in a weighted network such that the removal of those edges would maximally increase the cost to an evader of traveling on a path through the network. Our work is motivated by cases in which the evader has incomplete information about the network or lacks planning time or computational power, e.g. when authorities set up roadblocks to catch bank robbers, the criminals do not know all the roadblock locations or the best path to use for their escape. We introduce a model of network interdiction in which the motion of one or more evaders is described by Markov processes and the evaders are assumed not to react to interdiction decisions. The interdiction objective is to find an edge set of size B, that maximizes the probability of capturing the evaders. We prove that similar to the standard least-cost formulation for deterministic motion this interdiction problem is also NP-hard. But unlike that problem our interdiction problem is submodular and the optimal solution can be approximated within 1-1/e using a greedy algorithm. Additionally, we exploit submodularity through a priority evaluation strategy that eliminates the linear complexity scaling in the number of network edges and speeds up the solution by orders of magnitude. Taken together the results bring closer the goal of finding realistic solutions to the interdiction problem on global-scale networks.

Robust sparse covariance-regularized regression for high-dimensional data with Casewise and Cellwise outliers
Creators: name: Liu, Yitong (Maggie)

Year: 2023

description: Modern biomedical datasets, such as those found in genomic and proteomic studies, often involve a large number of predictor variables relative to the number of observations, pointing to the need for statistical methods specifically designed to handle high-dimensional data. In particular, for a regression task, regularized methods are needed to select a sparse model, that is, one that uses only a subset of the large number of features available to predict a response. The presence of outliers in the data further complicates this task. Many existing robust and sparse regression methods are computationally expensive when the dimensionality of the data is high. Furthermore, most of these previously developed methods were developed under the assumption that outliers occur casewise, which is not always a realistic assumption in high-dimensional settings. We propose a sparse and robust regression method for high-dimensional data that is based on regularized precision matrix estimation. Our method can handle both casewise and cellwise outliers in low- and high-dimensional settings. Through simulation studies, we also compare our method to existing sparse and robust methods by evaluating computational efficiency, prediction performance, and variable selection capabilities.

Introduction: Symposium Honoring the Advocacy, Scholarship and Jurisprudence of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Creators: name: Franke, Katherine
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law

description: I want to welcome back Justice Ginsburg to Columbia Law School. She has been a frequent visitor since her time here as a student in the late 1950s and again as a member of our faculty in the 1970s. I know she knows, but it is worth reiterating that she always has a home here at Columbia. Forty years and two weeks ago, on January 24, 1972, the Columbia Law School student newspaper reported an exciting development in the history of the law school- Dean Michael Sovern had announced the hiring of the first woman with full tenure to our law faculty. Under the headline “Law Faculty Selects First Woman Member,” the students wrote that “Ruth Ginsberg”-spelling her name wrong-“currently a professor at Harvard will be the first woman to hold a tenured professorship here. It is expected that she will teach courses in procedure, which is her specialty, as well as one course and one clinical seminar on Sex Discrimination.” The article here, and later on, framed Ruth Ginsburg’s expertise as procedure, not sex discrimination-and in fact she had been working with Hans Smit, whose passing we memorialized yesterday, on the Columbia Project on International Procedure. Mike Sovern told me yesterday that when he made her the offer to join the faculty, she insisted that she would come only if she could teach Civil Procedure-something the law school did not need as we already had a deep bench in that area. But she was adamant and he relented.

description: A partir de 2003 as compras governamentais da agricultura familiar inauguram um novo momento para as políticas públicas para a agricultura familiar e segurança alimentar brasileira, possibilitando novos arranjos e concertações entre o campo e a cidade com a perspectiva de ampliar a produção e o consumo de alimentos, respeitando a cultura alimentar e valorizando o desenvolvimento local. Neste artigo será apresentado como o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) impactou em processos de recampesinização, permitindo que a agricultura familiar diminuísse sua relação com tipos de produção e comercialização que reduzem ou anulam a sua autonomia e seu projeto de vida. A partir do PAA, percebe-se que há condições para reverter de certo modo esta depedência por formas de produção e mercado, com vistas a organizar a propriedade a partir do que permite dar maior liberdade e viabilizar um projeto de vida para a agricultura familiar.
Taking the Next Step in the Legal Response to Domestic Violence
Creators: name: Wellman, Kathryn Gillespie
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law

description: S.S. and R.T.’s story involved many of the elements common to domestic violence cases: multiple instances of physical, verbal, and psychological abuse of S.S. by her ex- boyfriend R.T.; initial reluctance on S.S.’s part to report the incident to the authorities out of hope that the violence would simply cease; and the eventual arrest of and entry of an order of protection against R.T. that he repeatedly violated, resulting in the filing of additional charges against him. As these charges moved into court, S.S. assisted the prosecution by providing “detailed written depositions outlining the history and circumstances of the altercations” between her and R.T. Soon afterwards, the case, People v. Tancredi-like many others involving multiple, interconnected matters related to domestic violence in New York-ended up in one of the state’s Integrated Domestic Violence (“IDV”) courts.
