A study of the relationship of the hip hop culture on marriage, education, and family among African-American young adults in Atlanta, Georgia, 2014
Get PDFThis study examined the relationship of the Hip Hop culture on the attitudes of African-American young adults toward marriage, education, and family. The linkages between Hip Hop culture on African-American young adults' attitudes have only recently been studied; much more work remains to improve our understanding of this relationship. The target population for the research was composed of young adults' ages 18-24. One hundred and eleven respondents were selected, utilizing nonprobability convenience sampling from among the participants of the selected Atlanta site for the study. In sum, there was no statistically significant relationship established between Hip Hop culture on the attitudes of African-American young adults toward marriage, education, and family
The effect that African American fathers have on their sons: Nonresidential fathers and a present father in the school
No full textThis study explores the effects that African American fathers have on their son. The type of African American fathers that were examined were those that were nonresidential and those that were active in their son's education. These areas were both individually analyzed to completely understand them. The similarities and differences were discussed to determine if there is or is not a commonality and correlation between them. The information that was retrieved does help establish an argument that these factors have an impact on the son's lives individually and combined, The findings of this research propose that fathers are a determining factor in how their sons succeed in life and there is a need for social workers to be sensitive to that idea

The implications of international capital mobility on U.S. monetary policy during the 1990 recession., 1995
No full textThis study examines the impact of international capital mobility on the effectiveness of U.S. monetary policy. While its primary purpose is to examine the effects of capital movements in the 1990-1992 recessionary period, the general framework and estimation covers the period from the mid 1970s when international capital movements into the U.S. started increasing significantly. This study argues that when there was little capital movements into the U.S., (closed economy), monetary policy was very effective. In fact, the Fed projections were essentially met. But when international capital mobility increased due to a highly integrated world economy (globalization), a combination of factors began to influence the effectiveness of monetary policy, constraining its pursuance of domestic objectives. The 1990 recession was an example where the dividing line between domestic macro management and international monetary economics has become more blurred. Where capital mobility affects the workings of the Feds actions. The analysis presented here identifies that even where policy actions are capable of altering the level of economic activity domestically, the ability to do so may be severely constraining and as such takes a longer time in an interdependent world

Get PDFBackground: GLI pathogenesis-related 1 (GLIPR1) was originally identified in glioblastomas and its expression was also found to be down-regulated in prostate cancer. Functional studies revealed both growth suppression and proapoptotic activities for GLIPR1 in multiple cancer cell lines. GLIPR1s role in lung cancer has not been investigated. Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is a protein arginine methyltransferase and forms a stoichiometric complex with the WD repeat domain 77 (WDR77) protein. Both PRMT5 and WDR77 are essential for growth of lung epithelial and cancer cells. But additional gene products that interact genetically or biochemichally with PRMT5 and WDR77 in the control of lung cancer cell growth are not characterized. Methods: DNA microarray and immunostaining were used to detect GLIPR1 expression during lung development and lung tumorigenesis. GLIPR1 expression was also analyzed in the TCGA lung cancer cohort. The consequence of GLIPR1 on growth of lung cancer cells in the tissue culture and lung tumor xenografts in the nude mice was observed. Results: We found that GLIPR1 expression is negatively associated with PRMT5/WDR77. GLIPR1 is absent in growing epithelial cells at the early stages of mouse lung development and highly expressed in the adult lung. Expression of GLIPR1 was down-regulated during lung tumorigenesis and its expression suppressed growth of lung cancer cells in the tissue culture and lung tumor xenografts in mice. GLIPR1 regulates lung cancer growth through the V-Erb-B avian erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 3 (ErbB3) Conclusions: This study reveals a novel pathway that PRMT5/WDR77 regulates GLIPR1 expression to control lung cancer cell growth and GLIPR1 as a potential therapeutic agent for lung cance
