From Terrorist Attack to Presidential Rhetoric to Hate Crimes: Is Stochastic Violence the Change That Links Them All?

This paper aims to answer the question of what took place, in regard to presidential responses and hate crimes, following the September 11th attacks that had not occurred following previous terrorist attacks. This is done in order to find a deeper explanation for the wave of hate crimes that took place in the aftermath of 9/11. By examining the presidential responses to the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, the Olympic Park bombing in 1996, and the US embassy bombings in 1998, and comparing them to the response of the September 11th attacks on New York and Washington in 2001, it is found that the difference between the pre-9/11 and post-9/11 responses was the use of stochastic violence. The volume of attention that was paid to the attacks and the issue of terrorism by the US government, as well as the amount of exposure that the American public had to the event and the issues surrounding it, resulted in an unprecedented amount of hate crimes committed towards Muslims and individuals of Middle Eastern descent. This paper utilizes the idea of stochastic violence to link presidential rhetoric to the committing of hate crimes in order to highlight the power and importance of presidential rhetoric. By doing so, it attempts to shine a light on the issue of hate crimes towards Muslims and Middle Eastern individuals in order to demonstrate that it is a highly prevalent issue which remains today and one that continues to define post-9/11 America

The Difficulties of Filming Syrian Refugee Populations Living in Jordan: Obstacles to Objectivity and Accuracy in Reporting

This project seeks to explain and address the challenges inherent in filming and documenting Syrian refugee populations in Jordan. This project will take the form of a narrative research paper in conjunction with a video component comprised of the first-hand accounts of several refugees who consented to sharing their stories on camera. I went, along with my brother Louis (a filmmaker), to Jordan to document firsthand the stories of Syrian refugees in their own words. We were invited to film for the Women ASPIRE project of an organization called ASPIRE (Advancing Solutions in Policy, Implementation, Research, and Engagement for Refugees), a Columbia University based organization with which I have formerly worked, interned, volunteered, and traveled. I draw upon contemporary literature on the topic of the refugee crisis with a focus on the impact it has had on women. I make reference to personally taken footage of several Syrian refugee men and women interviewees living in various living arrangements in Jordan. I elucidate the many challenges and obstacles to accurate, objective reporting of the current plight of Syrian refugees living in Jordan

Production of codon optimized Polyomavirus small t antigen in Escherichia coli.

Background: Hauzen et al., went against the dogma that cancer only develops by genetic factors and postulated oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) as the etiological agent of cervical cancer (2008). The eleven new human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) identified have been shown to infect humans subclinically from an early age. The small t-antigen (tAg) proteins of polyomaviruses control cellular phosphorylation mechanisms leading to uncontrolled replication cycles and cancer. Mechanisms of transformation and progression to tumor cells, and cellular tropism of the new HPyVs, remain unknown. Availability of recombinant tAg (rtAg) can contribute to understanding them. Methods: tAg coding sequences derived from Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) genome were codon-optimized, synthesized, cloned in an expression vector (pGEX), and transformed into E. coli. Clones were fermented, induced for expression of the tAG cassette, and purified by IMAC (Immobilized metal affinity chromatography). Results: rtAg produced in bacteria from different expression strains demonstrated distinct expression levels. The rtAg of ~20KDa was produced at the level of 11.3 mg L-1 and folded correctly since antibody 5 anti-MCPyV recognized rtAg. Conclusions: MCPyV tAg was efficiently expressed in E. coli. The availability of rtAg from MCPyV will be useful in immunity diagnostics, structure studies, and investigation of metabolic pathways interference and cell tropism features of HPyVs infections. This especially until cell culture systems for new HPyVs are developed.

Dukungan Moral Keluarga Terhadap Narapidana Hukuman Mati

Ketika seorang narapidana dijatuhi hukuman mati tentunya dukungan dari keluarganya (family support) sangat dibutuhkan, familly support yang dibutuhkan yaitu selalu mendukung memberikan pertolongan jika diperlukan karena akan ada pergejolakan di hati dan pikiran para narapidana ketika mereka dijatuhi vonis hukuman mati sehingga perang dukungan moral dari keluarga dianggap sangat penting. Ketika seseorang dijatuhi vonis hukuman mati, tentunya tingkat kejahatan yang sudah dilakukan olehnya merupakan tingkat kejahatan tinggi yang sangat merugikan orang lain dan lingkungan sekitarnya sehingga sanksi yang diberikan juga harus setimpal dengan apa yang sudah diperbuat olehnya. Jurnal ini dibuat untuk mengetahui bentuk pola dukungan moral keluarga terhadap narapidana hukuman mati. Jurnal ini dibuat berdasarkan penelitian-penelitian yang menyangkut dukungan moral bagi para narapidana yang sudah dilakukan oleh pihak ke-3. Aspek dukungan moral keluarga yang akan diamati adalah aspek concrete support (dukungan konkrit), emotional support (dukungan emosi), advice support (dukungan nasehat) dan esteem support (dukungan harga diri). Aspek-aspek tersebut merupakan dukungan moral yang bisa diberikan oleh keluarga narapidana yang divonis hukuman mati sebagai bentuk dukungan mereka terhadap salah satu anggota keluarganya
