The Effect of Puberty on the Circadian Rhythm of Physical Activity in Mongolian Gerbils
No full textChanges in elements in circadian rhythmicity have been observed during puberty in humans and other animals but has not yet been investigated in Mongolian gerbils, a laboratory rodent more diurnal than commonly used mice and rats. The present experiment investigated the effect of puberty on the circadian rhythmicity of daily motor activity as determined by activity on a running wheel. Neither of the two cohorts of gerbils experienced changes in the timing of the acrophase (the daily peak of activity) nor mean activity, but one cohort became significantly less diurnal following the completion of puberty. The findings here indicate that Mongolian gerbils experience a change in diurnality following the completion of puberty, without a shifting of the timing of the circadian rhythm of activity nor a change in the amount of daily motor activity
Oral History Interview with Tanya Harris-Glasow (Part 1)
No full textTanya Harris-Glasow is a community organizer who was a resident of the Lower Ninth Ward and a member of ACORN prior to Hurricane Katrina. The storm transformed her role, and she became a central figure in ACORN\u27s post-disaster organizing efforts in New Orleans. She was a founding member of the Katrina Survivors Association and, after ACORN\u27s dissolution, A Community Voice. Her work involved direct action coordination, policy advocacy, leadership training, and coalition-building. Her firsthand experience as a displaced resident gave her a unique and powerful perspective on the fight for housing rights, community self-determination, and racial justice in the rebuilding of New Orleans.https://scholarworks.uno.edu/ejrloh/1027/thumbnail.jp
A Forgotten Incident in a Forgotten War: The Military, Political, and Social Effects of the No Gun Ri Incident of the Korean War
Full text linkIn late July 1950, a company from the 2nd Battalion 7th Cavalry Regiment fired on a refugee caravan near the village of No Gun Ri, resulting in the deaths of many Korean civilians. The story of No Gun Ri was published by Associated Press reporters on September 30, 1999, prompting Army investigators within the Clinton Administration to spend nearly two years verifying the AP’s claims. While the Inspector General’s No Gun Ri Review confirmed that U.S. troops had killed Korean civilians, it was not a conclusive report. This thesis analyzes the No Gun Ri Incident and the Clinton Administration’s efforts to present the No Gun Ri Review’s findings and reconcile Korean-American relations. By examining the discourse involving military historians, journalists, and veterans, it argues that the No Gun Ri Review revealed the challenges of coping with the legacy of the Korean War and its ongoing influence on US-ROK relations
