The Hair Dilemma: Conform to Mainstream Expectations or Emphasize Racial Identity

Throughout American history, skin color, eye color, and hair texture have had the power to shape the quality of Black people\u27s lives, and that trend continues today for Black women in the workplace

A Comparison of IMPA2 & ISYNA1 Gene Expression and Intracelular Myo-Inositol Levels in Bipolar and Non-bipolar Disorder Derived Human Lymphoblasts

The thesis objective was to determine if myo-inositol concentration levels and the gene expression of IMPA2 & ISYNA1 differ among bipolar disorder types 1 and 2 compared to healthy controls (non-bipolar disorder). Previous studies have correlated different myo-inositol concentration levels with specific phases of bipolar and pharmaceutical treatments. Two genes, inositol monophosphatase 2 (IMPA2) and inositol-3-phosphate synthase 1 (ISYNA1), involved in de novo myo-inositol biosynthesis have been implicated in the pathophysiology of bipolar. In this study, differences in myo-inositol concentration and IMPA2 & ISYNA1 gene expression in lymphoblasts derived from subjects with bipolar types 1, 2, and healthy control were measured spectrophotometrically and by RT-qPCR respectively. Myo-inositol concentration assay results showed statistically significant differences in myo-inositol concentration in bipolar type 1 compared to type 2 and non-bipolar disorder. The relative gene expression of IMPA2 was twofold higher in both types of bipolar compared to healthy controls. The relative gene expression of ISYNA1 was 0.47-fold higher in bipolar 1; and 0.76-fold higher in bipolar 2 compared to healthy control. This study found both ISYNA1 and IMPA2 expressed relatively higher in bipolar compared to non-bipolar; and bipolar type 1 had significantly higher concentrations of myo-inositol compared to type 2 and non-bipolar disorder

EFFECT OF GLOBAL RECESSION ON INDIAN REALTY SECTOR AND ITS FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The recession around the globe from 2005 till present has been considered as the toughest phase compared to Great Depression in 1930’s. This had led the collapse of almost all large financial institutions, banks and stock markets around the globe. This indirectly affected the housing market that resulted in dispossessions, proceedings and extended vacancies. In India the effect on Reality sector was decrease in demand for Real estate in terms of Demand and supply as most of the working population had to undergo reduction in salaries and few layoffs. The Reduction in Rentals of commercials, Projects became stagnate, Deceleration in infrastructure projects, troubles to get fund, Unemployment and Shortage of skill workers forced the builders to reduce their prices. This paper attempts to analyze the impact of global recession on the reality sector of India, makes an effort to analyze the present overall Realty sector situation, and examines what policies are taken by Indian Government and business models that can be adapted to overcome the effect of recession
