Acetaminophen confers neuroprotection during early cerebral ischemia-reperfusion
No full textStroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. It usually occurs from a clot blocking a cerebral artery, resulting in cerebral ischemia and infarction. Few stroke therapeutics are available that definitively improve patient outcome. Acetaminophen is a readily available, inexpensive drug with a good safety profile - properties desirable of a neuroprotectant. We have previously shown acetaminophen to be effective following myocardial infarction. Since similar cell-destructive events occur during cerebral ischemia as in myocardial infarction, we sought to determine whether acetaminophen would protect neuronal cells in a similar fashion. Biochemical and molecular assays were employed to assess cell death and mitochondrial function. Acetaminophen significantly reduced cerebral infarct size, mitochondrial swelling and rupture as well as apoptosis. Acetaminophen also preserved mitochondrial membrane potential. Furthermore, acetaminophen prevented cerebral edema, as seen histopathologically. Taken together, these data suggest that acetaminophen is effective in preventing neuronal stroke damage.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 95-114)by Sunanda S. Balig
Arun and Sunanda Gandhi being Interviewed
No full textArun and Sunanda Gandhi are pictured at the M. K. Gandhi Institute for the Study of Nonviolence with Leon Griffith from FOX 13.
In the early 1990s, Memphis State University declined Arun Gandhi’s proposal to start a nonviolence center; however, the Christian Brothers University president, Brother Theodore Drahmann, was interested in listening to the proposal. The M. K. Gandhi Institute for the Study of Nonviolence was created as a research and educational resource center based on the nonviolence principles of Mohandas Gandhi, Arun Gandhi’s grandfather. The Institute was founded and staffed by Arun Gandhi and his wife, Sunanda Gandhi, the Institute was in their home owned by CBU, and the classroom space and seminar facilities were at CBU. The Institute also housed a collection of Mohandas Gandhi’s writings, which were temporarily held at the Plough Library. Arun Gandhi frequently spoke at CBU about nonviolence, a message he would also share with the wider community and internationally. After the passing of his wife in 2007, the Arun Gandhi moved to be closer to his daughter, moving the Institute as well.
Before founding the Institute, Arun Gandhi was a journalist in India and Sunanda Gandhi was a nurse helping abused women and abandoned children. The two of them were also involved in projects to assist India’s lowest caste and impoverished populations

Gender differences of young drivers on injury severity outcome of highway crashes
Get PDFProblem: Gender differences of young drivers involved in crashes and the associated differences in risk factors have not been fully explored in the United States (U.S.). Accordingly, this study investigated the topic, where the Odds Ratios (OR) were used to identify differences in crash involvements between male and female young drivers.
Method: Logistic regression models for injury severity of young male drivers and young female drivers were also developed. Different driver, environmental, vehicle, and road related factors that have affected young female drivers’ and young male drivers’ crash involvement were identified using the models.
Results: Results indicated that some variables are significantly related to female drivers’ injury risk but not male drivers’ injury risk and vice versa.Variables such as driving with valid licenses, driving on weekends, avoidance or slow maneuvers at time of crash, non-collision and overturn crashes and collision with a pedestrian were significant variables in female driver injury severity model but not in young male driver severity model. Travel on unleveled roadways, travel on concrete surfaces, travel on wet road surfaces, collision with another vehicle, rear-end collisions were variables that were significant in male driver severity model but not in female driver severity model.
Summary: Factors which increase young female drivers’ injury severity and young male drivers’ injury severity were identified. Some factors are significantly related to female drivers’ injury risk but not male drivers’ injury risk and vice versa. This study adds detailed information about gender differences and similarities in injury severity risk of young drivers
"International Trade Theory and Policy: A Review of the Literature"
Get PDFThis paper provides a survey of the literature on trade theory, from the classical example of comparative advantage to the New Trade theories currently used by many advanced countries to direct industrial policy and trade. An account is provided of the neo-classical brand of reciprocal demand and resource endowment theories, along with their usual empirical verifications and logical critiques. A useful supplement is provided in terms of Staffan Linder’s theory of "overlapping demand," which provides an explanation of trade structure in terms of aggregate demand. Attention is drawn to new developments in trade theory, with strategic trade providing inputs to industrial policy. Issues relating to trade, growth, and development are dealt with separately, supplemented by an account of the neo-Marxist versions of trade and underdevelopment.Comparative Costs; Resource Endowment Pattern and Trade; Overlapping Demand; Strategic Trade; New Theories of Trade; Trade and Development

Sunanda Madduma Bandara: Sri Lanka's real growth
No full textThis submission includes English, Sinhala, and Tamil versions of the fact check.FALSE: Sri Lanka’s per capita GDP was USD 140 in 1959. Following the economic crisis, in 2020, it stood at USD 3,474. This also shows that there has been a massive change in the income level of the country as well as the income level of the people. […] Sri Lanka has been able to achieve a level of economic growth and development that surpasses all the countries in South Asia.
