The Covid-19 Pandemic and the resulting government-imposed shutdowns have caused financial difficulty for many businesses in the United States. In particular, the shutdowns have strained landlord and tenant relations, as the failure of the latter to pay monthly rent has resulted in both parties taking their disputes to court. The contractual, legal doctrines of force majeure, frustration of purpose, and impossibility are being brought up in court by tenants who are hoping to have their nonperformance of contractual duties excused. For this study, fourteen pandemic-era court cases from around the country were analyzed in order to determine how the legal concepts of force majeure, frustration of purpose, and impossibility are being interpreted and whether the results were more in favor of the tenant or the landlord. The study found that courts interpreted the arguments in a very narrow manner, which resulted in very little victory for tenants. However, the author suggests that the practice of off-court resolutions in the face of strict legal jurisprudence could be an effective route for the disputing parties.

The restoration of natural ecosystems relies on the feedback received from monitoring programs which take long-term data on the health of an ecosystem. In this study, the monitoring program of a longleaf pine ecosystem in north central Florida is reviewed and revised. This revision was based on contact with park managers and the analysis of existing data with the goal of improving the restoration program’s effectiveness. Analysis of existing data revealed the present limited ability to draw conclusions due to the temporal limitations of the data set. To address this shortcoming, photo point data from prior years was converted into a data set that is complementary to the monitoring protocol. As part of the protocol revision, the photo point data collection was also added to the monitoring protocol. The findings illustrate the importance of maintaining and continuing monitoring programs due to the value of long-term data for assessing changes in an ecosystem over time. In addition, future data collections will yield more useful feedback as a result of improvements made to the protocol. The design of a monitoring program must be closely linked to the specifics of the restoration program intended to be studied. This study provides an account of this process to be referenced during the revision of similar monitoring programs.

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) Hermetia illucens have shown some promising signs in their ability to rapidly process organic waste into a usable organic frass input. However, little is known about the effectiveness of the frass, when compared to biofertilizers produced by other organic waste consumers, such as, red wiggler worms (RW) Eisenia fetida. This study compared the waste consumption rate, compost nutrient concentration, and compost application by BSFL and RW on jalapeno seedlings. The BSFL was shown to consume organic waste at a clearly higher rate than RW, while producing compost with higher N, P, K nutrient concentrations. Furthermore, an application test showed BSFL compost generating more seedling growth than a control with no biofertilizer. However, with no additional maturing processes the BSFL compost was not as effective for seedling growth, when compared to its RW biofertilizer counterpart.

The Victorian Era (1837-1901) is stereotypically characterized by propriety and sexual repression. Yet, during this time conduct literature for girls containing information on sex education as well as care for one’s body was widely circulated and read in response to fears over the spread of promiscuity, STDs, and prostitution. The authors of this literature exhibit acknowledgement of the need for women’s education on sexual hygiene rather than previously-enforced ignorance, and they also defined aspects of femininity and motherhood in tandem with sexuality in an effort to guide girls on “proper” womanhood. These books reinforced and shaped thought on gender roles which appear to have had persisting influence on the movements for female suffrage and labor rights that continued into the twentieth century. I investigate this issue using two conduct books as well as material from the collection of labor activist Margaret Dreier Robins (1868-1945). This investigation exposed many common values between the former medium and Robins’s reform efforts as head of the National Women’s Trade Union League, such as the importance of a gender-defined society, the centrality of collectivism and motherhood to the definition of femininity, as well as the harmful endorsement of eugenics in the production of healthy and democratic future generations. By comparing this literature, this paper begins to gather evidence on how the messaging of this conduct literature internalized in childhood could have shaped the direction of the progressive women’s movement.

Given the constitutional protection of free speech under the First Amendment, to what extent does the American public support that hate speech can be banned while still protecting free speech? The First Amendment states that “congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” This project analyzes published data from the Cato Institute Free Speech and Tolerance Survey (2017) to determine the role that Americans' generation plays in their support of a hate speech ban. Individuals of various generations differ in their experiences with world events, politics and social norms. These differences can impact views on free speech. Preliminary analysis by the Cato Institute shows that younger generations are more likely to support that hate speech can be banned while still protecting free speech than older generations. Current scholarship lacks a depth of research in this area. As such, this project establishes relationships concerning views on hate speech that are a novel contribution to this field of study.

Individuals who were born prematurely undergo many difficulties from the time they are born to their adult lives. Obstructive lung diseases are a common occurrence in patients who were born prematurely. Unfortunately, the development of lungs in premature infants is an area in the science world that has not been fully studied. Therefore, this study’s objective is to determine trends in lung vessel growth as a patient advances in age, and discover quantitative measures that provide clinical insight regarding improving the quality of life of premature infants. This is a retrospective study where x-ray computed tomography (CT) scans were analyzed by using in-house software built upon the NIH ImageJ platform. For each scan, the lung volume was automatically identified and the pulmonary vessel trees extracted and characterized to quantify the total number of vessels in the left hemi-lung. The radius and length of each vessel tree were also recorded. CT scans of 16 pediatric patients were analyzed (7 prematurely born and 9 full-term). The vessel growth of full-term patients trended to increase as a patient aged, while vessel growth for premature patients decreased with age. The data also indicated a significantly larger difference in the number of vessel branches over time between female preterm and full term subjects. Limitations such as variations in image quality, children’s age, and changes in CT technology over time are being addressed to improve confidence in the results. Future works will include analysis on a larger data set and novel approaches to automatic vessel extraction from chest CTs.

Did European gender values undermine the autonomy of Indigenous women in colonial Mexico? This article will answer the aforementioned question by examining women’s lives in Mexico during the colonial period from approximately 1500 to 1800. Close analysis of last wills and testaments left behind by women in Culhuacan during the sixteenth century demonstrate that they enjoyed greater avenues of social mobility than did women in Toluca during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This analysis will inform readers of the evidence drawn from these cultures and the significant conclusions it generates. An examination of two separate corpuses of last wills and testaments left behind by Indigenous Mexican women exposes variances in women’s avenues of social mobility under Nahua and Spanish influence in Culhuacan and Toluca during the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, respectively. Prior to Spanish invasion, Nahua culture gave the women of Culhuacan economic and social autonomy. Certain pre-Hispanic privileges, such as holding public offices, were still conserved at the end of the 16th century. However, a gradual replacement with Spanish values and structures that was nearly complete by the 18th century diminished women’s autonomy. But no matter how much their independence decreased, women still did all they could with what they had.

Background: Parkinsonism is an umbrella term encompassing several disease pathologies that share common motor symptoms. The most prevalent diagnosis is Parkinson’s disease, followed by multiple system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy. Early detection and differentiation between types of Parkinsonism remain an issue in clinical practice.Objective: MRI has the potential to aid the diagnosis of Parkinsonisms. A major hurdle is combining and harmonizing the data across different MRI vendors. The objective of this study was to determine if a full width half maximum gaussian spatial filter helps harmonize data sets collected from different scanners.Methods: Using 17 different MRI scanners, data was collected from 1,002 subjects. First, the data were spatially filtered using different sizes (no filter, 2mm, 4mm, 6mm). Data were then preprocessed and transformed into Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space. Next, support vector machine learning tested the training and validation accuracy of predicting diagnosis at each spatial filter setting.Results: The training and validation data for weighted sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were similar for all filter conditions. Differences between the weighted sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the training groups for all filter sizes were less than 0.1 and less than 0.2 for validation groups.Conclusions: Training and validation predictions did not differ across spatial filters, suggesting the accuracy of the algorithm is robust at different spatial filter sizes. In conclusion, the size of the spatial filter applied to diffusion MRI data does not result in a change in the outcome of the machine learning approach.

Pragmatist modern architecture tends to dissociate mind and body and has been unable to dialogue with the human soul, but architectural educator John Hejduk challenged such an understanding of buildings as autonomous objects and strove for the soul of architecture, which had a direct connection to good humanity. This paper analyzes how Hejduk explored the design concept of “narrative space” to reflect on the predicament of meaninglessness in the built environment, implementing it through design to re-bridge human perceptual and emotional connection to the lost spiritual and cosmic world. The analysis focuses on his poems, experimental drawings, and the symbolism of angels to interpret the hermeneutic depth of historical meaning in his architecture and to define humanity as a poetical dwelling between heaven and earth. The paper discloses how Hejduk used the dialogue between poetical narrative and architectural geometrical form, the symbol of angels as divine messengers, the act of sketching as narrative composition, and the legacy of his architectural pedagogy to reinvent architecture as a more thoughtful design process toward the beauty of humanity. This paper demonstrates that Hejduk’s architectural approach generated a poetical resistance against Cartesian principles of modern architecture and established an expressive and critical design language, interweaving the multiple theoretical threads of memory, history, trauma, and poetical emotion into the production of marvelous space that can tell stories and inspire our passion for spiritual architecture.
