“Am I halo-halo?” Finding the Filipino-American Restorying Framework Through Consent
Get PDFThe Filipino-American Restorying Framework seeks to provide clarity amidst the unclarity that is the Filipino-American experience through consent. This article presents a brief history between the Philippines and the US, and how reclamation of the Filipino story leads to a cultural shift towards acceptance for Filipino-Americans. The information presented should be utilized to help understand the Filipino-American experience and to help other "Americanized Pinoys" understand their story, which begins with a resonant yes to yourself as a storyteller. We seek to build a narrative and framework that is encompassing of our ancestral activists, educators, and policymakers that were rooted in collective liberation, community, and kapwa
The Scope of Practice in India Today:: An Interview with Aastha Khanna about Intimacy Coordination
Get PDFIn 2021, Aastha Khanna founded The Intimacy Collective, a non-profit organization based in India with an international scope. Alongside co-founders Sara Arrhusius and Neha Vyas, as well as their growing network of members and specialists, Khanna works to educate media and performance industries from within. Through online discourse on Instagram and Clubhouse, the Collective is jumpstarting important and accessible conversations about consent in film and media production in India, while building valuable connections between practitioners and supporters of the work. This interview with Khanna touches upon this work, as well as discussing international standards for performed industry, censorship, the male gaze, and more
Optimal Tilings of Bipartite Graphs Using Self-Assembling DNA
Get PDFMotivated by the recent advancements in nanotechnology and the discovery of new laboratory techniques using the Watson-Crick complementary properties of DNA strands, formal graph theory has recently become useful in the study of self-assembling DNA complexes. Construction methods based on graph theory have resulted in significantly increased efficiency. We present the results of applying graph theoretical and linear algebra techniques for constructing crossed-prism graphs, crown graphs, book graphs, stacked book graphs, and helm graphs, along with kite, cricket, and moth graphs. In particular, we explore various design strategies for these graph families in two sets of laboratory constraints
A Dissection of Grey’s Anatomy
Get PDFThis paper, qualitative study, used field observation to acquire data and published data to assert findings. The author watched a ubiquitously popular television show in the United States and compared results from a 2003 book entitled “Women, Men and Society,” in which authors found a disproportionate amount of female television roles to be sexualized and only cast by good looks, to find a linkage between statistical facts of the turn of the century and current findings based on past data. This paper observed four episodes and analyzed all major stereotypical roles ascribed to each actor and later the author compared data in a 2003 book
Religion and Stress in Daily Life
Get PDFIt is debated among researchers whether there is an existing relationship between religion and well-being. Some researchers have found that religion diminishes stress. However, some claim that this can be influenced by age, as older people have been found to be more religious than younger people. Therefore, age, gender, ethnicity, and education are controlled for by using multivariate regression techniques. Religiosity is predicted to diminish stress in daily life. In a sample of 101 surveys, result of the regression analysis showed significant support for the hypothesis that the more faithful people are the less stress they have; age, gender, ethnicity, and education showed to have no statistically significant effect on stress
Divorce Caused by Domestic Abuse: How it Affects the Children
Get PDFThis paper explores the dynamics of domestic violence to comprehend why it occurs, to examine whether or not mediation works in a divorce involving domestic abuse, to see what effects divorce has on the children, and how to help children cope with divorce caused by domestic abuse. In retrospect, by changing the erroneous social perceptions of domestic abuse, people can learn how to analyze, understand, and see domestic violence for what it really is. Since the effects can be lifelong and very damaging, especially to children, it is imperative for society, as a whole, to put an end to it immediately

On Prime Labelings of Uniform Cycle Snake Graphs
Get PDFA prime labeling of a graph of order n is an assignment of the integers 1, 2, ... , n to the vertices such that each pair of adjacent vertices has coprime labels. For positive integers m, k, q with k ≥ 3 and 1 ≤ q ≤ ⌊k/2⌋ , the uniform cycle snake graph Cmk,q is constructed by taking a path with m edges and replacing each edge by a k-cycle by identifying two vertices at distance q in the cycle with the vertices of the original path edge. We construct prime labelings for Cmk,q for many pairs (k,q) and, in each case, all m. These include: all cases with k ≤ 9 or k = 11; all cases with q = 2 when k ≡ 3 (mod 4); all cases with q = 3 when k has the form 2a − 1, 3a + 1 or 3b + 3 for all a and all odd b; all cases with q = 4 when k is even; and all cases with q = k/2 when q is a prime congruent to 1 (mod 3)
Politics and Culture in French Revolutionary Church Reform: The Institutional Opposition to Liberte,’ Egalite,’ Fraternite’
Get PDFReform aimed towards the Catholic Church at the dawn of the French Revolution began with political motivation but quickly took on a deeper cultural significance. Records focused between 1789 and 1791 show that the best way to create change was through the Third Estate and by reducing the status and resources of the Church. The National Assembly exposed the Church as an institutional opposition to the people and their newfound civil liberties. The Third Estate was placed in a position where they had to choose between following the newly emerging spirit of revolution or their long-standing religious devotion, the Revolution won out. What began as a mixed reaction from both devout Catholics and inspired revolutionaries, quickly turned into a more radical anti-clerical movement by the end of 1791. This research turns away from the perspective of the clergy and instead brings to light the reaction of the Third Estate
