description: The current research study examined the way one’s relationship with self affects their relational intimacy with others, while accounting for the role of social media has in influencing this effect. This study uses self-compassion to examine one’s relationship with self and expands on the current knowledge that self-compassion influences one’s relationships. It was hypothesized that self-compassion would be positively associated with relational intimacy and negatively associated with social media use. A total of 173 participants contributed to this study. No significant relationship was found between self-compassion and social media use, as measured by social media use integration in to social routines and emotional connection, and integration into social routines. There was a significant positive relationship between self-compassion and relational intimacy but no support for social media use was a significant mediating variable.

description: We collaborated to integrate three concepts from the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education into a course on Dante's Inferno: 1) Authority is Constructed and Contextual, 2) Information Creation as a Process, 3) Scholarship as Conversation.

We wanted students to focus on elements of knowledge production in Dante's time and our own. This was primarily accomplished via two library visits in which we asked students to examine analog and digital information sources for evidence of who was involved in their creation. In the first session students worked with medieval and early modern manuscript leaves and considered the manual and intellectual labor involved in their production. In the second session they looked at modern books, journals, and encyclopedias, reflecting on how they came to exist. Several further in-class and homework assignments reinforced key concepts from these sessions.

The Moderating Role of Emotional Cushioning Between the Grief Intensity of Perinatal Loss and Relationship Satisfaction Among Women
Creators: name: DiTullio, Mollie C
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Mental health services

description: The present study explored how emotional cushioning (EC) buffered the relationship between grief intensity of perinatal loss and relationship satisfaction among women who have experienced pregnancy after loss. It was hypothesized that higher levels of grief intensity would be negatively associated with relationship satisfaction among women. Additionally, it was hypothesized that higher levels of EC would lessen the negative relationship between grief intensity of perinatal loss and relationship satisfaction among women. Through the use of a hierarchical linear regression, it was determined that grief intensity was not significantly associated with relationship satisfaction and that EC did not serve as a buffer between grief intensity and relationship satisfaction. However, a significant correlation was found between EC and relationship satisfaction. The results of this study can help contribute to the literature by providing more discussion about utilizing systemic approaches for clients who have experienced perinatal loss and pregnancy-related anxiety.

Occult poetics and the production of English verse, 1558-1603

description: This thesis examines how the occult tradition is an inherent part of the
      production of vernacular literature during the Elizabethan period. I argue
      that occult discourses about language are drawn upon by writers of the
      period who seek to establish an English literature to rival that of the
      classical tradition. The quotidian nature of occult philosophies which
      vacillate between the scientific and the magical in the early modern
      period has been recognised in recent criticism. Taking into consideration
      the etymological root of the word occult as secret or hidden, this thesis
      departs from the traditional demarcations of occult studies.

      By removing the occult from the realm of the magus and dramatic
      sensationalism, this thesis begins with the premise that occult discourses
      are present within Elizabethan culture and are absorbed into textual
      practice. It adopts the term occult poetics to describe the processes of
      writing that rely upon occult discourses to imbue efficacious qualities
      and communicate esoteric knowledge within Elizabethan vernacular poetry.

      I examine John Dee, traditionally viewed as a magus-figure, and resituate
      him within discourses about language. I show that Dee believed the divine
      origins of language lay in geometry and number, and that his semiotics
      informs his hopes for Elizabethan imperialism. Contemporaneous to Dee’s
      depiction of Elizabeth as imperial queen is Edmund Spenser’s cry to
      establish English as a kingdom of language, which leads to experimentation
      with English verse that is based on the occult qualities of number and
      quantity. I consider how occult and emergent scientific discourses are
      engaged with in the new poetry in terms of cosmology with Fulke Greville
      and Giordano Bruno, and optics in George Chapman’s poetry. Finally, I
      approach the figure of Elizabeth as an occult body analogous to the
      lodestone who sits at the centre of language production through analysing
      Spenser’s The Faerie Queene.

description: Safety, immunogenicity, and effectiveness of an mRNA-1273 50-μg booster were evaluated in adolescents (12–17 years), with and without pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants who had received the 2-dose mRNA-1273 100-µg primary series in the TeenCOVE trial (NCT04649151) were offered the mRNA-1273 50-μg booster. Primary objectives included safety and inference of effectiveness by establishing noninferiority of neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses after the booster compared with the nAb post-primary series of mRNA-1273 among young adults in COVE (NCT04470427). Binding antibody (bAb) responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants of interest and COVID-19 incidence after vaccination were also evaluated. Median boosting interval was 315 days. The mRNA-1273 booster was well-tolerated, with an acceptable safety profile. Relative to pre-booster, nAb geometric mean levels increased after the booster by 17.8-fold and 4.7-fold among pre-booster SARS-CoV-2–negative and –positive participants, respectively. Effectiveness was successfully inferred based on noninferiority of nAb levels from mRNA-1273 booster dose (Day 29) compared with nAb levels after mRNA-1273 primary series (Day 57) among young adults in COVE. Further, the booster increased bAb levels relative to pre-booster baseline against SARS-CoV-2 variants (alpha [B.1.1.7], beta [B.1.351], gamma [P.1], and delta [B.1.617.2]), regardless of pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 status. COVID-19 incidence (cases per 1000 person-months) was lower among boosted (0 cases) than non-boosted (95.766 cases) participants in January 2022, a peak period during the early omicron transmission. In summary, the mRNA-1273 50-μg booster induced robust nAb responses in previously vaccinated adolescents, regardless of SARS-CoV-2 serostatus. Effectiveness was successfully inferred and the booster was well-tolerated, with no new safety concerns identified.

Coplanar Waveguide-based Low Pass Filter Design with Non-uniform Signal Trace and Ground Planes Using Different Optimization Algorithms
Creators: name: Li, Qizhen
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Electrical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: In this study, a novel and systematic methodology for the design and optimization of conductor-backed coplanar waveguide (CB-CPW) based low pass filter (LPF) is proposed. The width of the signal trace is continuously varied using a truncated Fourier series, and the adjacent gaps are designed in several types established on a specific optimization setup to obtain predefined electrical characteristics with maximum compactness taking into account physical constraints. Trust-region-reflective algorithm (TRRA), genetic algorithm (GA), and particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) are taken into account to minimize the developed bound-constrained non-linear objective function respectively.
All types are programmed and analytically verified in MATLAB. Solutions include design parameters such as the physical length and width of the structure, which will be drawn in AutoCAD later on. Also, the optimized layouts are exported to Ansys High Frequency Structure Simulation (HFSS) software for simulation and validation. Non-uniform CB-CPW LPFs are optimized and simulated over a frequency range of 0-6 GHz with a cutoff frequency of 2 GHz. Simulation results show a good agreement with the analytical ones.

description: Background: Legionella pneumophila is an important causative agent of severe pneumonia in humans. Human alveolar epithelium and macrophages are effective barriers for inhaled microorganisms and actively participate in the initiation of innate host defense. The beta defensin-3 (hBD-3), an antimicrobial peptide is an important component of the innate immune response of the human lung. Therefore we hypothesize that hBD-3 might be important for immune defense towards L. pneumophila. Methods: We investigated the effects of L. pneumophila and different TLR agonists on pulmonary cells in regard to hBD-3 expression by ELISA. Furthermore, siRNA-mediated inhibition of TLRs as well as chemical inhibition of potential downstream signaling molecules was used for functional analysis. Results: L. pneumophila induced release of hBD-3 in pulmonary epithelium and alveolar macrophages. A similar response was observed when epithelial cells were treated with different TLR agonists. Inhibition of TLR2, TLR5, and TLR9 expression led to a decreased hBD-3 expression. Furthermore expression of hBD-3 was mediated through a JNK dependent activation of AP-1 (c-Jun) but appeared to be independent of NF-κB. Additionally, we demonstrate that hBD-3 elicited a strong antimicrobial effect on L. pneumophila replication. Conclusions: Taken together, human pulmonary cells produce hBD-3 upon L. pneumophila infection via a TLR-JNK-AP- 1-dependent pathway which may contribute to an efficient innate immune defense.

description: Die meisten westlichen Länder Europas haben seit der Zulassung von Impfstoffen gegen humane Papillomaviren (HPV) Impfempfehlungen gegen HPV eingeführt. Das Impfziel ist die Reduktion der Krankheitslast HPV-assoziierter Erkrankungen, in erster Linie des Zervixkarzinoms und dessen Vorstufen. Die Krankheitslast des Zervixkarzinoms ist weltweit hoch, allerdings mit deutlichen regionalen Unterschieden in der Inzidenz und Mortalität. Die Präventionsstrategien zur Reduktion der Krankheitslast in den einzelnen europäischen Ländern variieren entsprechend der nationalen Datenlage und den Vorgaben im Gesundheitssystem. Es besteht Einigkeit, dass ein Monitoring der HPV-Impfung zur Überwachung möglicher Auswirkungen auf Bevölkerungsebene erforderlich ist. Trotz unterschiedlicher Präventionsstrategien und Impfempfehlungen in den einzelnen europäischen Ländern sollten Überlegungen zu einer ergänzenden und koordinierten europaweiten Surveillance der HPV-Impfung befürwortet werden.
description: Most countries in Western Europe have recommended human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination for the prevention of cervical cancer. The burden of cervical cancer remains high worldwide with regional differences in incidence rates and mortality. Due to varying conditions in health care systems and nationwide data in the individual European countries, there are slightly different cervical cancer prevention strategies. There is an overall consensus to monitor the public health impact of HPV vaccines. Despite having different prevention strategies and vaccination recommendations in the individual European countries, consideration of how to evaluate and coordinate pan-European surveillance measures should be taken into account.

description: Manufacturing today is increasingly competitive and every organization around the world is looking to decrease costs. Maintenance costs generated an average of 28 percent of total manufacturing cost at the Fiat Chrysler Indiana Transmission Plant One in 2018, states Rex White, Head Maintenance Planner at Fiat Chrysler (2018). Maintenance is a supportive expense that does not generate a profit, which makes maintenance an attractive expense to decrease. The cost for components and skilled labor are expensive; however, the downtime is exponentially a larger threat to production cost. One most feared scenarios within a manufacturing facility is that one machine takes down several as it backs up the entire production process.The three major types of maintenance are reactive, preventive, and predictive. The research project focused on applying the principles of predictive maintenance to the Fiat Chrysler facilities in Indiana. The report explains the techniques and principles of applying the technology currently available to reduce downtime and maintenance cost. The predictive maintenance procedures and saving are compared with reactive and preventive methods to determine a value of return. The report will examine the benefits of using the Internet of Things technology to create autonomous self-diagnosing smart machines. The predictive maintenance plan in this research illustration will introduce health check equipment used to implement longer lasting machine components. In conclusion, the project developed out an entire predictive maintenance plan to reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

description: Gian Paolo Callegari’s prize-winning 1948 play, Cristo ha ucciso, marks an overlooked milestone in Italy’s response to the Holocaust. Among the earliest Italian creative works to confront the genocide of the European Jews, Callegari’s play challenged the legacies of anti-Semitism in European culture. Yet it also concealed the troubling history of its author’s own Fascist anti-Semitism. Exploring this apparent paradox, the present essay situates both play and playwright in the post-war Italian context. I argue that Cristo ha ucciso makes possible a substantial reconsideration of the public reckoning that attended news of the liberation of the death camps. This is because, with its provocative claim that Christian forgiveness had to be abandoned as an impediment to justice, Callegari’s play offered a radical alternative to the Christian humanist framework predominant in Italian narratives of the Second World War.

description: Dual-broadband and dual-pump nanosecond CARS experiments were performed to investigate the pure rotational transitions of the nitric oxide molecule. The former experiment was initially utilized to determine the pure rotational structure while the latter focused on polarization suppression of the pure rotational transitions of nitric oxide. A polarization calculation and analysis were conducted on the rotational and vibrational transitions of nitrogen, and the pure rotational transitions of nitric oxide were subjected to a similar polarization scheme. The electronic transitions that arise due to the spin-split nature of nitric oxide ground electronic energy levels were suppressed by the polarization scheme in a similar manner to the rotational S branch transitions. Results have been compared with a spectral simulation developed by Dr. Lucht, and the theory is partially presented. Comparison between simulation and experimental data yielded favorable agreement for the pure rotational transitions of nitric oxide.

description: Previous studies have suggested that gut dysbacteriosis may promote the onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the relationship between consumption of live microorganisms and CKD remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between dietary consumption of live microorganisms and risk of CKD. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2001 to 2018. Dietary intake was assessed through self-reported questionnaires, while CKD diagnosis was based on glomerular filtration rate and albumin-creatinine ratio measurements. After adjusting for potential confounders, participants with high live microbial intake had a significantly lower risk of CKD compared to those with low intake [odds ratio (OR): 0.79, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.68–0.91, p = 0.001]. Similarly, those with moderate/high live microbial intake exhibited a reduced CKD risk compared to the low intake group (OR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.78–0.97, p = 0.009). Subgroup analyses revealed a significant interaction between live microbial intake and CKD risk among participants with less than a high school education, as well as among Mexican Americans and other racial groups (including multiracial) (all P values for interaction < 0.05). A U-shaped dose-response relationship was identified between microbial intake and CKD risk, with significant non-linear associations observed for high consumption levels (P for non-linearity = 0.013). High dietary intake of live microorganisms is associated with a lower risk of CKD, highlighting the potential role of gut microbiota modulation in CKD prevention.

description: Information on retroviruses infections in great apes is scarce, especially for apes kept in sanctuaries throughout Africa. To investigate the prevalence of retroviruses and possible transmission of different retroviruses originating from chimpanzees of different origin (Uganda, Congo and Rwanda), 38 wild-born captive orphan chimpanzees residing in a sanctuary on Ngamba Island were analyzed for retroviral infections. Samples from sanctuary chimpanzees were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunoassays and polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Viruses were characterized by phylogenetic analysis. All chimpanzees were negative for antibodies against Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) and Simian T-cell Leukemia Virus (STLV). However, 28/38 (73%) chimpanzees were positive to Simian Foamy Virus (SFV) by analysis of a 425-bp DNA segment obtained by PCR using generic integrase primers homologous to highly conserved portions of the polymerase gene. Phylogenetic analysis of SFV sequences obtained in this study formed four sub clusters within the specific SFV P. t. schweinfurthii clade with significant variability among the new SFVs strains. We provide evidence of on-going cross-transmission of SFV among chimpanzees within the sanctuary mostly likely through horizontal routes. We propose to test all chimpanzees introduced into sanctuaries for retroviral and other infections. This will help avoid the spread also of pathogenic viruses in captive populations.

description: The aim of this Report is to define the legal and regulatory data protection framework to be taken into account to ensure the lawful and most efficient implementation of My Health My Data project (hereinafter “MHMD” or the “Project”).1

The complexity and the uniqueness of the processes and data flows underpinning the Project make indeed necessary to carry out an in-depth assessment as to which legal requirements must be complied with to prevent, or at least reduce, any risk for data subjects’ rights and fundamental freedoms and to ensure high security standard and reliability. But not only.

MHMD idea itself was conceived to become a new point of reference for the EU digital market and to set new benchmarks and rules for data security in the healthcare and medical sector.

For this reason, each stage of the Project will be the object of a specific privacy impact assessment, as required by the applicable legislation, so to address all the key vulnerabilities of data-driven services through ground-breaking solutions for anonymization, encryption and secure data sharing, by so validating the new technologies upon which MHMD is based before relevant implementation.

The needed evaluations will be conducted step-by-step, starting from the pivotal milestones provided for by the laws and regulations in force to date and then moving to the peculiarities of the Project, so to raise the overall awareness regarding what is permitted and what is still likely to be regarded as a breach of fundamental rights both in the European Union and in the Member States.

description: Bu çalışma, çok katmanlı metinlerin yabancı dil olarak Türkçe dil bilgisi öğretiminde etkili bir araç olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Öğretmen görüşlerine dayalı olarak yapılan analizler, bu tür metinlerin bağlam, görseller, aşamalı öğrenme ve öğrenci katılımı gibi stratejilerle desteklendiğinde öğretim sürecini daha etkili hale getirdiğini göstermektedir. Bağlam içinde sunulan dil bilgisi yapılarının, öğrencilerin bu kuralları anlamlandırmasını kolaylaştırdığı ve öğrenmeyi doğal bir süreç haline getirdiği belirlenmiştir. Görsel desteklerin, özellikle soyut dil bilgisi kurallarını somutlaştırarak öğrencilerin öğrenme sürecine katkı sağladığı, aşamalı zorluk seviyesinin ise öğrencilerin yapılandırılmış bir şekilde ilerlemelerini mümkün kıldığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca, etkileşimli öğrenme etkinliklerinin öğrenci motivasyonunu artırdığı ve dil bilgisi yapılarını daha anlamlı hale getirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Çok katmanlı metinlerin etkili kullanımı için öğretim materyallerinin seviyeye uygun düzenlenmesi, görsel ve bağlamsal desteklerin artırılması ve öğrencilerin aktif katılımını teşvik eden pedagojik stratejilerin uygulanması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, çok katmanlı metinlerin dil bilgisi öğretiminde daha geniş kapsamda ele alınmasını ve farklı öğrenci gruplarında uygulanmasını önermektedir.

description: Graduate student-parents face numerous challenges, such as balancing their parent, student, and worker roles, and often having to “prove” themselves as serious students and parents. Although these challenges are potentially life-changing and can lead to high graduate student attrition rates, research on the social, academic, and work-related experiences of graduate student-parents is scarce. Through this dissertation, I aimed to shed light on an often overlooked population. This dissertation is presented in the form of two distinct articles conceptually related in nature. The first article integrates literature from various fields relevant to graduate student-parents. Through a critique of the existing literature, I noted three significant issues: (a) a lack of focus on the experiences of graduate student fathers, (b) a lack of focus on intersectionality, and (c) a virtual nonexistence of how psychologists can bridge the gap between research findings and policy change. The article ends with suggestions for practitioners in university counseling center settings. The purpose of the second article is to examine whether advisor support buffers the relations between parent-based discrimination and emotional, work-, and family-related outcomes. I hypothesized that the indirect effect between perceived discrimination and SFC/WFC via burnout will be significant and positive at low levels of academic advisor support. I also hypothesized that the simple indirect effect of perceived discrimination on SFC/WFC will be moderated by gender such that the indirect pathway will be stronger and more positive for women than for men. Data were collected on a sample of 261 graduate student-parents using an online survey. Results indicated that burnout mediated the relationship between perceived discrimination and school- and work-family conflict. Neither advisor support or gender moderated the mediated relationship between perceived discrimination and school-and work-family conflict. Practical and clinical implications are discussed, in addition to suggestions for future research.

description: Rotavirus, a leading cause of severe acute gastroenteritis in children, is largely preventable through immunization with two internationally licensed oral rotavirus vaccines (RVVs) included in national programs across over 100 countries. These RVVs are administered in either two (Rotarix™; 2D-RV) or three (RotaTeq®; 3D-RV) doses. We aimed to assess the global coverage, completion, and compliance of 2D-RV and 3D-RV in various settings, and to identify factors influencing vaccine coverage. We conducted a systematic review of PubMed and Embase for articles published between 2006 and 2021. We included 74 publications across 31 countries. RVV coverage rates and the factors associated with coverage varied widely among countries based on income level, RVV used, and the year of vaccination. Due to market bias and insufficient studies, valid RVVs coverage comparisons couldn’t be made. However, 2D-RV had better completion/compliance rates than 3D-RV in Italy, Mexico, and the US.
Exorcising Intersex and Cripping Compulsory Dyadism

description: Using hauntology as a linchpin, this dissertation explores the undertheorized connection between intersex and disability. Building on important feminist research in the fields of intersex, queer, disability, crip, and hauntology studies, I ask, how do we understand and reconcile the contested meanings, responses to, and effects of intersex? Intersex is “a perpetually shifting phantasm” (Holmes 2002: 175), yet intersex is typically represented and treated as innate disorder, disability, or disease by medical professionals. That said, many intersex people appear to distance from disability. By engaging intersex studies with feminist disability and crip theories, however, I demonstrate that an intersex politic and intersex studies must be rooted in a disability politic and disability studies. Through a feminist disability and crip lens, I conduct a textual and critical discourse analysis of three case studies of interphobic violence or, what I term, “compulsory dyadism,” meaning the instituted cultural mandate that people cannot have intersex traits or house the “spectre of intersex” (Sparrow 2013: 29); such a spectre must be exorcised. The three case studies include nonconsensual medical interventions, sport sex testing, and employing reproductive technologies to select against intersex variations. My analyses of these case studies produce three important observations. First, intersex is presently and effectively being integrated into conventional notions of disability; second, ableist logics underpin interphobic violence; and third, compulsory dyadism is intertwined with, or is an iteration of, compulsory able-bodiedness. In recognizing this interconnection, theorizing intersex and disability together is not merely beneficial, doing so is necessary. Ultimately, my dissertation interrogates and extends questions of the ever-shifting categorization of body-minds, culturally mandated ways of being, and (the haunting effects of) pathologization. I apply pressure to the academic field of intersex studies as well as intersex activist and advocate communities to center disability in discussions concerning intersex human rights and interphobia.

description: Calcium (Ca) intakes may affect cardiovascular disease risk by altering body weight/fat and serum lipid profile, but results have been inconsistent and the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Thus, the effects of dietary Ca on body composition and lipid metabolism were examined in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were fed high-fat, high-energy diets containing (g/kg) low (0.75Ca, 0.86 ± 0.05; 2Ca, 2.26 ± 0.02), normal (5Ca, 5.55 ± 0.08) or high (10Ca,11.03 ± 0.17; 20Ca, 21.79 ± 0.15) Ca for 10 weeks. At the end of the study the 0.75Ca group had lower (p < 0.05) body weight and fat mass compared to other groups. Rats fed the high Ca diets had lower serum total and LDL cholesterol compared to rats fed normal or low Ca. Liver total cholesterol was lower in rats fed high compared to low Ca. In general, liver mRNA expression of the LDLR and genes involved in cholesterol synthesis (HMGCR and HMGCS1), fatty acid oxidation (CPT2) and cholesterol esterification (ACAT2) were higher in rats fed higher Ca. Apparent digestibility of total trans, saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids was lower in rats fed the high compared to the low Ca diets, but the differences were greatest for trans and saturated fatty acids. Fecal excretion of cholesterol and total bile acids was highest in rats fed the 20Ca diet. The results suggest little effect of dietary Ca on body composition unless Ca intakes are very low. Decreased bile acid reabsorption and reduced absorption of neutral sterols and trans and saturated fatty acids may contribute to the improved serum lipid profile in rats fed higher Ca.

description: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), transmitted through Aedes mosquitoes, is a significant global health concern. Various vaccine platforms have been explored to combat CHIKV, including formalin inactivation, live-attenuated strains, virus-like particles (VLPs), viral vectors, and mRNA technologies. This umbrella review synthesizes evidence on the safety profiles of vaccine platforms used in Chikungunya vaccines that have been applied in other vaccines, focusing on adverse events of special interest (AESI) in pregnant persons, children, and adolescents. A comprehensive overview of systematic reviews (SRs) was conducted. Results: Seven systematic reviews were included and complemented with primary studies. Vaccines like influenza, human papillomavirus (HPV), and COVID-19, which share platforms with Chikungunya vaccines, showed no significant increase in AESI. Moderate-to high-quality SRs supported favorable safety profiles. Vaccines sharing platforms with Chikungunya vaccines generally exhibit acceptable safety profiles in pregnant persons, children, and adolescents.
From Acadian to Africadian, Translation and Analysis of Georgette LeBlanc’s Amédé: A Case Study in Translating Sociolect

description: This thesis will serve as a case study on the translation of sociolectal literature, using my translation into English of Acadian author Georgette LeBlanc’s second collection of poetry, Amédé, as a paradigm. Written in the Baie Sainte-Marie Acadian French sociolect, this work represents an interesting example of the difficulties that can arise while translating minority language literature, from both a linguistic and discursive perspective. Broadly speaking, the objective of my analysis will be to explore the relationship between the literary representation of sociolect and the creation of underlying networks of meaning, focusing on both the linguistic and discursive aspects of LeBlanc’s choices in portraying Baie Sainte-Marie Acadian French in order to justify my translation of her work into African Nova Scotian English, also referred to as Africadian English.
