The aim of this study is to illuminate potentially powerful forms of inspiration for teachers during typical challenges, as well as crises. We use the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic that exacerbated existing teacher burnout as an opportunity to learn how we can build capacities for critical hope to support teacher agency.

Throughout the twentieth century, women in the United States experienced varying degrees of reproductive freedom due to several different factors. Those factors included traditional gender roles, access to contraception, and eugenics, all of which impacted a woman's ability to find and receive healthcare. Many of the laws and standards upheld during this time allowed male politicians and physicians to regulate the field of medicine and therefore, ethics within medicine. The effects of these policies and politics' role in medicine have had a lasting impact on what qualifies as medical ethics in this country as well as more current issues, such as the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

This thesis presents the design and simulation of an energy efficient controller for a system of three drones transporting a payload in a net. The object ensnared in the net is represented as a mass connected by massless stiff springs to each drone. Both a pole-placement approach and an optimal control approach are used to design a trajectory controller for the system. Results are simulated for a single drone and the three drone system both without and with payload.

As China is using its Belt and Road Initiative to solidify strategic partnerships, which China is consciously forming with the intention of engineering shifts in the regional balance of power, it strengthens its hegemony and therefore raises the significance of the BRI and CPEC as an instrument to position itself as an emerging global power. I will explore this thesis statement by using the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor as a case study.

Religion and gender are two contemporary, heavily influential social identity markers that the media engages with. In India, Bollywood simultaneously interacts with religious and gender identity by producing many movies on Hindu-Muslim inter-religious romantic relationships in the twenty-first century. Bollywood’s Hindu-Muslim romance movies are stories with a central focus on a romantic relationship in which one lover is Hindu and the second is Muslim. The masculinity and femininity of the Hindu and Muslim characters are not accidental; it is meticulously articulated in every movie. This thesis explores two sets of patterns in the movies: themes in love stories and gender identity across the protagonists. It is important to note that representation of religious identity in Bollywood is highly debated with a special emphasis on Muslim identity since they are a religious minority and the political "Other". This thesis acknowledges that the presence of Muslims in Bollywood is complicated and not black and white, but it focuses on the representation of Muslims that is connected romantically with Hindus.

How much do we know about Cinderella? How much does Cinderella know about it? Cinderella is a woman who had bully by her stepmother for a long time and met a prince and fell in love with him and got married. This story of Cinderella was charmingly introducing to the world. We can watch many movies, novels, and dramas about Cinderella worldwide for many years. As a result, Cinderella created a social phenomenon called the 'Cinderella phenomenon.' We call it the modern version of Cinderella when a pretty, but poor woman meets a rich man and marries him. In other words, Cinderella in the present Cinderella is describing as a gorgeous but unhappy woman who eventually escapes reality through the prince. However, what if all these things we misunderstand about Cinderella? If everything was done under Cinderella's plan, and the prince's choice of Cinderella as a princess was not all about love, can we still call it Cinderella when a beautiful but poor woman marries a rich man?

Obesity increases the risk for colorectal cancer. In mice, a pro-obesity high-fat-diet (HFD) leads to an intestinal phenotype characterized by enhanced proliferation, numbers, function and tumor-initiating capacity of stem cells, the cell-of-origin for many intestinal cancers. This phenotype is driven by a lipid metabolism program facilitated by an intrinsic Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor/Fatty Acid Oxidation (PPAR/FAO) axis that senses and utilizes cellular lipids. However, the microbiome is a known regulator of lipid metabolism in the gut, but little is understood about how the gut commensals affect access to the lipids and alter stem cell function. Here, we use the long term HFD-fed mouse model to analyze the phenotypic changes in the intestinal stem cells (ISCs) after depletion of the gut microbiota. We find that the loss of the gut microbiome after four weeks of antibiotic treatment imposes significant changes in ISC function leading to reduced HFD ISC regenerative potential. These results indicate that the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in the lipid metabolic process which regulates and maintains the HFD ISC phenotype, and further suggests that the gut microbiome may augment the diet-induced tumor initiating capacity by altering the stem cell function.

A successful asylum case is extremely rare in the United States legal system, particularly for Black migrants entering from Haiti who are subject to multiple layers of racism throughout each step of the process. Recent policies, such as Title 42 and Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), have further restricted migrants from initiating this process by blocking their entry and expediting their removals. Title 42, a public health code issued to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, has accelerated the deportation of Haitian migrants, while MPP has forced many migrants to stay in Mexico during their asylum proceedings. Both of these policies have had a punitive effect on migrants attempting to enter the country through “legal manners,” yet they are ineffective ways of stopping migration. Instead, migrants are now crossing through a weaponized southern border due to Border Patrol’s strategy of Prevention through Deterrence. Though there is extensive research on the racism that non-Black migrants face when interacting with enforcement agencies in the Borderlands, there is no research centering the experiences of Black migrants. In this paper, I argue that in spite of this dangerous route, migrants find ways to survive through community-based strategies, including transnational networks. Additionally, I examine local efforts in Mexicali, B.C. to provide support to migrants. This case-study is critical for the understanding of the borderlands as it highlights the detrimental consequences of colonial occupation, racism, and late-stage capitalism. Key words: Black migration, immigration, border enforcement, asylum process

Following the Russian Federation’s illegal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the world has once again found itself in a time of crisis. President Vladimir Putin has chosen to rewind the clock and restore the Cold War-era divide between Russia and the United States. The European Union, while still divided internally on numerous issues, has seemingly chosen to rise to the occasion in the wake of Russia’s invasion and assert itself as an equal party to both Cold War-era rivals. All the while China, the pacing, ever vigilant threat, continues to keep its cards close to its chest, and it remains to be seen whether a new Sino-Soviet split will emerge just as before or if the adage “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” still rings true. However, 2022 is not 1962, at least not yet. The global nuclear non-proliferation regime, the culmination of sixty years of constant effort between adversary and ally alike, exists to save the United States and Russia from themselves. Despite the breadth and authority of the regime there are threats abound to its existence, particularly in this time of deep uncertainty. It is incumbent upon the nuclear powers of the world, and Russia especially, to ensure that it does not become a casualty of this age. The world must therefore look back to the early days of the Cold War when crises were abundant, and the United States and the Soviet Union repeatedly brought humanity to the edge of the nuclear abyss. What we learn from doing so is that, while difficult, the global nuclear non-proliferation regime can be supported through unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral actions such as novel weaponry moratoriums, a return to adversarial arms control, and achieving the universality of export control regimes, respectively.

This project examines both the left and right's strategies to remedy the American civic crisis. However, both sides have diverging views on American history, society, and ideals. Ultimately, the project determines that the Educating for American Democracy initiative offers the most feasible approach in addressing this national crisis.
