  • Ethics Questions Raised by the Neuropsychiatric
    REGULAR ARTICLE Ethics Questions Raised by the Neuropsychiatric, Neuropsychological, Educational, Developmental, and Family Characteristics of 18 Juveniles Awaiting Execution in Texas Dorothy Otnow Lewis, MD, Catherine A. Yeager, MA, Pamela Blake, MD, Barbara Bard, PhD, and Maren Strenziok, MS Eighteen males condemned to death in Texas for homicides committed prior to the defendants’ 18th birthdays received systematic psychiatric, neurologic, neuropsychological, and educational assessments, and all available medical, psychological, educational, social, and family data were reviewed. Six subjects began life with potentially compromised central nervous system (CNS) function (e.g., prematurity, respiratory distress syndrome). All but one experienced serious head traumas in childhood and adolescence. All subjects evaluated neurologically and neuropsychologically had signs of prefrontal cortical dysfunction. Neuropsychological testing was more sensitive to executive dysfunction than neurologic examination. Fifteen (83%) had signs, symptoms, and histories consistent with bipolar spectrum, schizoaffective spectrum, or hypomanic disorders. Two subjects were intellectually limited, and one suffered from parasomnias and dissociation. All but one came from extremely violent and/or abusive families in which mental illness was prevalent in multiple generations. Implications regarding the ethics involved in matters of culpability and mitigation are considered.

  • Strategic Performances of Race in African American and Chicana/O Literatures
    Border Crossings: Passing and Other[ed] Strategic Performances of Race in African American and Chicana/o Literatures Melanie A. Hernandez A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Sonnet Retman, Chair Michelle Habell-Pallán Habiba Ibrahim Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English Hernandez 2 ©Copyright 2013 Melanie A. Hernandez Hernandez 3 University of Washington Abstract Border Crossings: Passing and Other(ed) Strategic Performances of Race in African American and Chicana/o Literatures Melanie A. Hernandez Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sonnet Retman, Associate Professor Department of American Ethnic Studies This project begins with an analysis of racial passing narratives, and considers the ways that the genre provides a useful deconstructive tool to better understand essence-based productions of race and racial authenticity within Chicana/o assimilation narratives. Through their critical exploration of the performative aspects of race, passing novels expose the fissures within these essentialist logics and in so doing they lodge their protest against the conditions under which passing could occur. I explore the ways that writers and artists have strategically used genre, knowing that readers will approach the text with a set of expectations, only to complicate the narrative while still operating within its formal conventions. This project maps strategic manipulations of genre as the primary tool to produce racial identities or exploit preexisting notions of race and gender with the aim to Hernandez 4 resist marginalization. I focus on the political discursive practices within both genres that judge passing and assimilation at the level of the individual.

    UNT College of ENGINEERING Senior Design Day 2018 Department of BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING Senior Design Day 2018 Handheld Endoscope For Delivering Nebulized Lidocaine Team Members: • James Mayo • Vincenzo Kennedy • Namrath Dasyam • Filiberto Aguilar External Sponsors/Mentors: Internal Sponsors/Mentors: • DUALAMS Inc. • John S Houston Abstract: A tracheoscopy is one procedure in which the trachea is examinedusing an endoscope. Typically, a tracheoscopy requires the endoscope to go through the nasal cavity and then the larynx to reach the trachea, where it can be used to administer a local anesthetic. For a typical tracheoscopy, a physician will use a liquid solution of lidocaine as the anesthetic. When this liquid solution is applied to the patient’s larynx, it causes gaging and discomfort resulting in a lengthy procedure time. A method has been developed to circumvent this time and discomfort by using vaporized anesthetic. The vapor lidocaine causes little to no gagging for the patient during theprocedure and results in a shorter procedure time. This method of delivery currently relies on doctors to not only own an endoscope already, but to have an endoscope which includes the necessary adaptor to allow the passage of the nebulized lidocaine. Furthermore, vaporizing lidocaine and delivering it through an endoscope are both very expensive procedures that are performedseparately. By developing an internally powered, portable endoscope that can vaporize and deliver lidocaine, Eagle BioTech hopes to simplify and eliminate the discomfort for trans-nasal and/or per oral vocal anatomy examination procedures. The device will shorten time of procedures while relieving patients from gagging and discomfort. Ideally the device will be sold for under $1000, making it more affordable for local and international markets.

  • Serial Murder As Allegory: a Subconscious Echo Of
    SERIAL MURDER AS ALLEGORY: A SUBCONSCIOUS ECHO OF UNRESOLVED CHILDHOOD TRAUMA Robert Lyle Robertson BA (Beh. Sc.), Dip. Soc. Pl. School of Justice Studies, Faculty of Law Queensland University of Technology A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Justice (Research) 2004 KEYWORDS Serial murder Hermeneutics Life History Life Narrative Poisonous Pedagogy Allegory ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the notion that we may be able to more fully understand the etiology of serial murder. Specifically, it concludes that the behaviours of serial murderers can be allegorical of unresolved childhood trauma – that in the murderous actions of the adult there can be a depth of subconscious allegorical connection to the repressed (forgotten) and unresolved trauma of the murderer’s own childhood. The focus for this hermeneutic inquiry is the intersection that can be constructed between the phenomenon of serial murder and the assertion of the psychoanalyst Alice Miller that every perpetrator of violence was once a child who was (himself or herself) a victim. Alice Miller’s concept of Poisonous Pedagogy is explained and critiqued. Her belief that our childhoods tell the stories of our adult behaviours is questioned in light of the similar theoretical ground of Life History, Life Narrative, Psychobiography, and Psychoanalytic Narrative. Miller’s contention that there are directly allegorical connections between childhood abuse and adult murderous behaviours is illustrated by her analysis of the life of Jurgen Bartsch. A hermeneutic examination of the biographic records of two other serial murderers (Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy) is then undertaken to question the available support for Miller’s contentions.

The rB ain-Disordered Defendant: Neuroscience and Legal Insanity in the Twenty-First Century Abstract Brain-damaged defendants are seen everyday in American courtrooms, and in many cases, their criminal behavior appears to be the product of extremely poor judgment and self-control. Some have a disorder in the frontal lobes, the area of the brain responsible for judgment and impulse control. Yet because defendants suffering from frontal lobe dysfunction usually understand the difference between right and wrong, they are unable to avail themselves of the only insanity defense available in many states, a defense based on the narrow McNaghten test. "Irresistible impulse" (or "control") tests, on the other hand, provide an insanity defense to those who committed a crime due to their inability to exercise behavioral control.

SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW MENTAL ILLNESS AND THE DEATH PENALTY EILEEN P. RYAN* AND SARAH B. BERSON** This article explores the issue of mental illness and the death penalty, a timely topic given two recent Supreme Court death penalty decisions: Atkins v. Virginia1 and Roper v. Simmons.2 We discuss some of the pitfalls inherent in attempts to exempt the mentally ill from the death penalty, and explain why we think that narrowing any exemption to the psychotic mentally ill makes the most sense from a practical, as well as medical/psychiatric perspective. Despite huge strides in our understanding of and ability to treat mental disorders in the past thirty years, the general public remains ambivalent and uninformed about many aspects of mental illness and the mentally ill.3 Perhaps nowhere is this more evident and worrisome than in society’s beliefs and attitudes toward mentally ill criminals, particularly those who commit crimes of violence against others.

DANIELS PLAINTIFF v. Civil No. 06-5121 CPL. REAMS; and OFFICER HERNANDEZ DEFENDANTS O R D E R Now on this 17th day of July, 2008, come on for consideration the Report And Recommendation Of The Magistrate Judge ("R&R")(document #57); plaintiff's Motion For A Retrial (document #62); and plaintiff's Objections To R&R (document #63), and the Court, being well and sufficiently advised, finds and orders as follows: 1. In this pro se case brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1983, plaintiff David L. Daniels ("Daniels"), then a pre-trial detainee in the Benton County Detention Center ("BCDC"), alleges that defendants Cpl. Reams ("Reams") and Officer Hernandez ("Hernandez") used excessive force against him in an incident (the "Incident") that occurred on June 1, 2006. 2.
