The fateful history of Fannie Mae ::New Deal birth to mortgage crisis fall /
No full textCounter In 1938, the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt created a small agency called Fannie Mae. Intended to make home loans more accessible, the agency was born of the Great Depression and a government desperate to revive housing construction. It was a minor detail of the New Deal, barely recorded by the newspapers of the day. Over the next seventy years, Fannie Mae evolved into one of the largest financial companies in the world, owned by private shareholders but with its nearly $1 trillion of debt effectively guaranteed by the government. Almost from the beginning, critics repeatedly warned that Fannie was an accident waiting to happen. Then, in 2008, the housing market collapsed. Amid a wave of foreclosures, the company?s capital began to run out, and the U.S. Treasury seized control. From the New Deal to the administration of President Obama, author James R. Hagerty explains this fascinating but little-understood saga. Based on his reporting for the Wall Street Journal, personal research and interviews with executives, regulators and congressional leaders, Hagerty charts the course of Fannie Mae. With The Fateful History of Fannie Mae, he explains the politics, economics and human frailties behind seven decades of missed opportunities to prevent a financial disaster
Immigration and housing rents in American cities
Full text linkIs there a local economic impact of immigration? Immigration pushes up rents and housing values in destination cities. The positive association of rent growth and immigrant inflows is pervasive in time series for all metropolitan areas. The author uses instrumental variables based on a "shift-share" of national levels of immigration into metropolitan areas. Conditioning on other variables, an immigration inflow equal to 1 percent of the city population is associated with increases in rents and housing values of about 1 percent. The results suggest an economic impact that is an order of magnitude bigger than that found on labor markets.Emigration and immigration ; Housing - Prices

Letter from the women representatives of Jersey Homesteads' co-operative clothing factory to Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban, Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. Women representatives of Jersey Homestead's co-operative garment industry wrote a letter to Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt as the Jersey Homestead community was on the brink of failure. They explained that although the community was successful in attracting private industry to locate in the Jersey Homesteads factory, the Farm Security Administration's leasing conditions made the company unwilling to sign. The women ask her to intercede on their behalf to the Farm Security Administration, so that they might be able to earn a living
La compétence universelle au Canada: le droit chemin tracé par la Cour d’appel du Québec dans Munyaneza
No full textThis column analyzes the judgment of the Quebec Court of Appeal of 7 May 2014 in the case involving Désiré Munyaneza, a Rwandan prosecuted in Canada for participating in the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. It allows to scrutinize the interpretation of the Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes Act, applied for the first time by an appellate court in Canada, and to provide a critical look at the current state of the law applicable to prosecutions in Canada in the exercise of universal jurisdiction for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The author focuses on the main findings of the judgment by briefly assessing the evidence and issues relating to the fairness of the proceedings, and by focusing on the characteristics of the indictment in trials of this nature, on the temporal application of the law regarding war crimes in noninternational armed conflicts, as well as on the definitions of crimes adopted by the Court of Appeal. Finally, the analysis also leads the author to focus on Canada''s policy regarding the prosecution of individuals suspected of involvement in the commission of international crimes who are present on its territory.La présente chronique analyse l’arrêt rendu par la Cour d’appel du Québec le 7 mai 2014 dans l’affaire impliquant Désiré Munyaneza, un rwandais poursuivi au Canada pour sa participation au génocide perpétré au Rwanda en 1994. Elle permet de scruter l’interprétation donnée à la Loi sur les crimes contre l’humanité et les crimes de guerre, appliquée pour la première fois par un tribunal d’appel au Canada, et d’offrir un regard critique sur l’état du droit actuel applicable aux poursuites entreprises au Canada dans l’exercice de la compétence universelle pour génocide, crimes contre l’humanité et crimes de guerre. L’auteure s’intéresse aux principales conclusions du jugement, en traitant brièvement de l’évaluation de la preuve et de questions relatives à l’équité de la procédure, et en s’attardant aux caractéristiques de l’acte d’accusation dans un procès d’une telle nature, à l’application temporelle du droit en ce qui concerne les crimes de guerre dans les conflits armés non internationaux, ainsi qu’aux définitions des crimes adoptées par la Cour d’appel. Enfin, l’analyse amène également l’auteure à s’intéresser à la politique du Canada en matière de poursuites des individus soupçonnés d’être impliqués dans la commission de crimes internationaux se trouvant sur son territoire.Lafontaine Fannie.

Peran Mutasi KRAS dan TP53 sebagai Faktor Prognostik Kanker Paru
No full textBackground: Currently, the development of lung cancer therapy has entered the
era of targeted therapy based on its molecular profile, where smoking-associated
malignancies show a varied and interrelated genomic mutation profile. KRAS
mutations and TP53 mutations are mutations that occur in smoking-related lung
cancer and affect the low rate of therapeutic success and survival of lung cancer
patients. This study aims to assess the role of KRAS and TP53 mutations as
prognostic factors for lung cancer
Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study conducted in 2020-2021 and involved
107 subjects with certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. However, only 52 paraffin blocks
from bronchoscopy, Trans Thoracal Lung Biopsy (TTLB), and open surgery procedures
were successfully extracted using the FFPE Quick-DNA mini preparation. KRAS gene and
TP53 gene were amplified using PCR with specific primers for exon 2 (KRAS) and exon 5-
9 (TP53). Sequencing analysis was performed using Unipro Ugene software and compared
with reference sequences. Protein base changes were then analyzed by BLASTn
application. All clinical characteristics were obtained from medical records. The patient's
prognosis was assessed for overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) by
survival analysis with Kaplan Meier and Logrank analysis to assess the associations
between OS and PFS with TP53 and KRAS mutations.
Results: The majority of the subjects were men with the age of more than 60 years, heavy smokers,
with adenocarcinoma lung cancer. KRAS mutations were not detected in all study subjects. TP53
mutations were detected in 5 subjects at exons 5, 6, and 8. During the analysis, it was seen that the
median OS of patients with TP53 mutations was 7 months while those without mutations was 9 months.
Meanwhile, the median PFS of patients with TP53 mutations was 3 months while those without
mutations was 6 months. In statistical tests, there is no associations between TP53 mutations and OS
and PFS of lung cancer patients with p-value > 0.05
Conclusion: TP53 and KRAS mutations do not have a significant effect on the
prognosis of lung cancer patients.123 HalamanTesis Magiste
