Curiosity Seekers, Time Travelers, and Avant-Garde Artists: U.S. American Literary and Artistic Responses to the Occupation of Haiti (1915-1934)
Creators: name: Stevens, Shelley
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: U.S. American literary and creative artists perform the work of developing a discursive response to two critical moments in Haitian history: the Revolution (1791-1804) and the U.S. Marine Occupation (1915 to 1934), inspiring imaginations and imaginary concepts. Revolutionary images of Toussaint Louverture proliferated beyond the boundaries of Haiti illuminating the complicity of colonial powers in maintaining notions of a particularized racial discourse. Frank J. Webb, a free black Philadelphian, engages a scathing critique of Thomas Carlyle’s sage prose “On the Negro Question” (1849) through the fictional depiction of a painted image of Louverture in Webb’s novel The Garies and their Friends (1857). Travel writing and ethnographies of the Occupation provide platforms for new forms of artistic production involving Vodou. Following James Weldon Johnson’s critique of U.S. policy (1920), others members of the Harlem Renaissance provide a counter narrative that reengages particular U.S. readers with Haiti’s problematic Revolution through the visual and literary lens of the Occupation experience. The pseudo journalism of William Seabrook's The Magic Island (1929) serves as the poto mitan (center point) around which other creative works produced after the Occupation appear. Katherine Dunham, Zora Neale Hurston, and Maya Deren followed in Seabrook’s wake. Literature, performances, and film, as well as complementary ethnographic records for each follow from Dunham (Dances of Haiti, 1983), Hurston (Tell My Horse, 1938), and Deren (Divine Horsemen, 1953). The artistic production of these significant cultural producers may better represent their experience of fieldwork in Haiti following the Occupation. Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937), Dunham’s exposure of Haitian dances across the world stage, and Deren’s experimental films better capture the reciprocal effect of the ethnographic process on each in their continued presentation to contemporary audiences. Literature directly related to their production appears later in Ishmael Reed’s Mumbo Jumbo (1972), Arthur Flowers’s Another Good Loving Blues (1993), Edwidge Danticat’s Breath, Eyes, Memory (1994), and Nalo Hopkinson’s The Salt Roads (2005). These productive literatures and art forms actively engage in creating the transnational ideal of diaspora as we understand it today. All dance delicately with spirit.
Labor, Literacies, and Liberation: A Rhetorical Biography of Stetson Kennedy
Creators: name: Eidson, Diana
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: William Stetson Kennedy (1916-2011), an activist and muckraking journalist, focused on social and economic conditions in the South. In seven decades of activism, he fought for peace, workers’ rights, civil rights, and environmental protections. Kennedy collected oral histories as a folklorist with the Federal Writer’s Project, and he infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan and worked to get their state charters revoked. This project breaks new ground by bringing to light a neglected aspect of Stetson Kennedy’s work: his years (1943-1947) as the editorial director for the Political Action Committee of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO-PAC). In this role, Kennedy fought against voting restrictions and informed workers about candidates and voting issues.
This dissertation explores several research questions: How are alphabetic, civic, and critical literacies activated and enhanced through labor rhetoric? In what ways are these three literacies connected? What are the implications of interconnected literate praxis in academic spaces and beyond? The writer employs archival research, primary field research, and critical theory. Using critical theory enables the writer to stake new claims about key concepts: the subject, agency, ideology, discourse, rhetoric, and literacy. This project enriches existing scholarship in rhetoric and composition through focusing on literacy programs in labor movements. Although labor unions have long provided instruction in reading, writing, history, and political economy, little work outside of history and sociology has been done on worker education. Literacy building outside the classroom has received some attention in rhetoric and composition, but the role that unions play in this process has been neglected.
In addition, this rhetorical biography provides an historical account of a writer who helped educate workers largely through the use of dialect, folklore, and other forms of vernacular/working-class discourse. Vernacular discourse must be recovered in order to rectify the privileging of academic/elite discourse and to end the longstanding silence about socioeconomic class in US society. Furthermore, this project connects rhetorical theory to rhetorical practice, what Paulo Freire called praxis. Ultimately, this project provides a new view of literacy by theorizing how three different literacies interact, as well as the implications of these interactions in classrooms and communities.

description: In the pursuit of understanding the large-scale structure of the Universe, the synergy between complementary cosmological surveys has proven to be a powerful tool. Using multiple tracers of the large-scale structure can significantly improve the constraints on cosmological parameters. We explore the potential of combining the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) spectroscopic surveys to enhance precision on the growth rate of cosmic structures. We employ a multitracer Fisher analysis to estimate precision on the growth rate when using pairs of mock surveys that are based on SKAO and DESI specifications. The pairs are at both low and high redshifts. For SKA-MID, we use the HI galaxy and the HI intensity mapping samples. In order to avoid the complexities and uncertainties at small scales, we confine the analysis to scales where linear perturbations are reliable. The consequent loss of signal in each individual survey is mitigated by the gains from the multi-tracer. After marginalising over cosmological and nuisance parameters, we find a significant improvement in the precision on the growth rate.

Christ in Speaking Picture: Representational Anxiety in Early Modern English Poetry
Creators: name: Irvine, Judith
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation explores the influence of Reformation representational anxiety on early seventeenth-century poetic depictions of Christ. I study the poetic shift from physical to metaphorical portrayals of Christ that occurred after the English Reformation infused religious symbols and visual images with transgressive power. Contextualizing the juncture between visual and verbal representation, I examine the poetry alongside historical artifacts including paternosters, a painted glass window, an emblem, sermons, and the account of a state trial in order to trace signs of sensory “loss” in the verse of John Donne, George Herbert, Aemilia Lanyer, and John Milton.
The introduction provides a historical and poetic overview of sixteenth-century influences on religious verse. The first chapter contrasts Donne’s sermons—which vividly describe Christ—with his poems, in which Christ’s face is often obscured or avoided. In the chapter on George Herbert's The Temple, I show how Herbert’s initial, physical portraits of Christ increasingly give way to metaphorical images as the book progresses, paralleling the Reformation’s internalization of images. The third chapter shows that Aemilia Lanyer’s Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum makes use of pastoral conventions to fashion Christ as a shepherd-spouse, the divine object of desire. In the final chapter I argue that three poems from John Milton’s 1645 volume can be read as containing signs of Milton’s emerging Arianism.
Depictions of Christ in the poetry of Donne, Herbert, Lanyer, and Milton reveal the period’s contestation over images; the sensory strain of these metaphorical representations results in memorable, vivid verse.

"Rough Text: Women's Experiments in Undoing The Autobiographical Subject"
Creators: name: Finck, Shannon
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Studies of women’s experimental narrative in the twentieth century have often been fixed to political interests in the recovery of women’s artistic practices for inclusion in the canons of literary modernism and formal postmodernism. Concurrent trends in philosophy and critical theory, however, propose the interrogation of the limits of subjectivity itself, suggesting that the most provocative assertions about human experience eschew the very categorical delimitations, like gender, on which such recovery projects depend. This dissertation traces the literary investments of women, particularly queer women, whose experiments in life-writing reconfigure the boundaries of human subjects without relinquishing claims to the material or political conditions that shape their lives. “Rough Text” examines writing that queers or complicates autobiography by featuring self-referential protagonists whose lives illustrate the explosive consequences of both gender and genre manipulation. Writing themselves by unfastening themselves textually, temporally, and spatially, these authors do a liberating violence to their own coherence that shakes, and then rethinks, the grounds of their ontologies in ways that offer alternatives to the “psychological squalor” Fredric Jameson describes as the postmodern condition.
Black Voices: A Trilogy of Twenty-First Century Plays Addressing the Hidden Bruises and Inner Strength of a Generation of African Americans
Creators: name: Todd, Willie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Finding African American plays which are intellectually stimulating, yet relatable to the everyday African American is quite a challenge. This is in part because much of what is written and considered by mainstream America to be quality African American theater, is either not written by African Americans, not written in a manner which many of them will easily relate to it, or is not written about the “Black experience” which is the reality for an overwhelming majority of African Americans. Often the plays utilize language which appeals to mainstream America and educated African Americans; however, is somewhat foreign to the overwhelming majority of African Americans, many who are socially and economically deprived. For any writer, considering one’s audience is vitally important. For the African American playwright who gains popularity, there is always the scarlet letter worn of representing the entire race and knowing that whether good, bad, or indifferent, his/her works will be a badge that will be linked to all African Americans. For most educated African Americans, there exists this inner conflict of existing in two worlds, neither of which they truly feel at home. There is always the underlying challenge of whether the work should be simply entertaining or whether it must possess some didactic message which will change the world for the African American race. Having lived and survived the “Black experience,” which for many involved socially and economically disparaging environments, the African American writer feels like he/she is betraying the race if they do not write works with the primary goal of uplifting the race. This dissertation provides three plays addressing the African American experience. With the subtitle “Black Voices,” they address the three primary groups in the African American community – women, men, and children. To ensure that quality African American plays exist which chronicle the “Black experience” without regard to the perception from mainstream America is vitally important. This dissertation addresses some of the reasons why many African American playwrights have challenges with audience and provides plays by the author which bravely address some of the “hidden bruises” within the African American community.

description: Background: Previous studies have shown poor compliance rates regarding sun protection among organ transplant recipients. Objective: The main objective of the present study was to assess the awareness among renal transplant recipients (RTRs) of their risk of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) development and their sunscreen use. The influence of several potentially relevant variables was also assessed in order to identify possible weak points on which to concentrate efforts in this respect. Methods: A total of 132 RTRs (92 males and 40 females) were included. The following information was collected and elaborated: (a) demographics; (b) skin phototype; (c) educational level; (d) time elapsed since transplantation; (e) immunosuppressive treatments; (f) previous dermatological visits; (g) patients' awareness of their NMSC risk; (h) use of sunscreen; and (i) previous documented NMSCs or NMSCs found during the study visit. Results: Overall, 65 patients (49.2%) expressed awareness of their susceptibility to skin cancers. A high educational level was the main factor associated with patients' awareness. Thirty-six RTRs (27.3%) reported using sunscreen regularly. High educational level and awareness of personal susceptibility to NMSC development were the most relevant factors associated with sun protection habits. Conclusion: The present study showed the low level of sunscreen use among RTRs and their scanty awareness of personal skin cancer risk. Since educational level has been found to be highly related to both awareness of cancer risk and adequate use of sunscreen among RTRs, it is necessary to improve the way education is delivered by dermatologists and nephrologists, especially to subjects with a low educational level.

description: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles are used in some food products to alter their optical properties, such as whiteness or brightness. These additives typically contain a population of TiO2 nanoparticles (d < 100 nm), which has led to concern about their potential toxicity. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of TiO2 particles on the gastrointestinal fate of oil-in-water emulsions using a simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT) that includes mouth, stomach, and small intestine phases. Theoretical predictions suggested that TiO2 nanoparticles might inhibit lipid digestion through two physicochemical mechanisms: (i) a fraction of the lipase adsorbs to TiO2 particle surfaces, thereby reducing the amount available to hydrolyze lipid droplets; (ii) some TiO2 particles adsorb to the surfaces of lipid droplets, thereby reducing the lipid surface area exposed to lipase. The importance of these mechanisms was tested by passing protein-coated lipid droplets (2%, w/w) through the simulated GIT in the absence and presence of TiO2 (0.5%, w/w) nanoparticles (18 nm) and fine particles (167 nm). Changes in particle characteristics (size, organization, and charge) and lipid digestion were then measured. Both TiO2 nanoparticles and fine particles had little impact on the aggregation state and charge of the lipid droplets in the different GIT regions, as well as on the rate and extent of lipid digestion. This suggests that the theoretically predicted impact of particle size on lipid digestion was not seen in practice.
Contending with (Inter)Disciplinary Identity and Specialization: Rhetorical Pasts and Futures for Women's Studies, Composition Studies, and Writing Center Studies
Creators: name: Forsthoefel, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: Much of the existing research on how to make the intellectual contributions of writing centers more visible looks to models found in Rhetoric and Composition programs. By examining the parallel tensions surrounding the histories of naming practices, research agendas, and intellectual trajectories that can be found in scholarly accounts of Women’s Studies, Composition Studies, and Writing Center Studies, this dissertation illustrates how, contrary to received wisdom, Women’s Studies is a more appropriate model for Writing Center Studies because the interdisciplinary objectives and rebranding efforts that Women’s Studies has undertaken to confirm its scholarly significance provide a more apt interdisciplinary identity and institutional location for writing centers.

description: This article explores social network analysis (SNA) as a means to revise and expand the concept of adaptive capacity in household-level research on climate change adaptation. SNA has recently been integrated into research on adaptive capacity in the global change sciences, but often not at the household level. The methodology relies heavily on measuring food, money, wood and water, labour, and information about disease exchanges between households, all of which are referenced in previous work on adaptation in the developing world. The regional focus is the rural Eastern Cape of South Africa but results have wider geographic application. Results bring into question assumptions about adaptive capacity’s relationship to network centrality, one of the most common measures in SNA. This is particularly where exchanges of wood and water and the information about disease are concerned. In the case of the former, results controvert contemporary work on livelihoods and natural resource dependence, while the latter points to a need for further clarification on when households share information about their ill health. The use of network variables combined with other methods may allow for a more concrete understanding of household adaptive capacity in the rural developing world.
Rückfallprävention in der Arbeitsintegration: Eine qualitative Forschungsarbeit zur Stärkung der Suchtmittelstabilität von abhängigkeitserkrankten Personen

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Die Soziale Arbeit ist in fast jedem Arbeitsbereich mit der Suchtthematik konfrontiert, einer davon ist die Arbeitsintegration. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit Rückfallprävention in der Arbeitsintegration beschäftigt sich mit der Thematik der Rückfallprävention in der Arbeitsintegration. Die hohe Rückfallwahrscheinlichkeit bei suchterkrankten Menschen hat zur Folge, dass die langfristige Arbeitsintegration gefährdet ist. Daher stellte sich folgende zentrale Fragestellung: Wie können rückfallpräventive Massnahmen in die Arbeitsintegration einbezogen werden? Es gehört zu den Aufgaben der Sozialen Arbeit Menschen in ihrer Entwicklung zu fördern und zu stabilisieren (Susanne Beck, Anita Diethelm, Marijke Kerssies, Olivier Grand & Beat Schmocker, 2010, S. 6). Zur Aufrechterhaltung der Suchtmittelstabilität im ersten Arbeitsmarkt ist die Rückfallprävention von zentraler Bedeutung. Dazu sind Kenntnisse zur Abhängigkeitserkrankung und Strategien zur Rückfallvorbeugung von Belangen. Das Blaue Kreuz Bern – Solothurn – Freiburg bietet unter anderem im Treffpunkt Azzurro die Arbeitsintegration an. In dieser Arbeit wurden ehemalige Klienten und Klientinnen des alkoholfreien Treffpunkts Azzurro befragt, die nach ihrem Arbeitseinsatz eine Anstellung im ersten Arbeitsmarkt antraten. In der Untersuchung ging es um die rückfallpräventiven Aspekte, die das Azzurro anbietet und wie sich ihre Suchtmittelstabilität im ersten Arbeitsmarkt bewährte. Aus den Ergebnissen konnten Ergänzungen für die rückfallpräventive Arbeit in der Arbeitsintegration gezogen werden. Aufgrund der Komplexität und der individuellen Äusserung einer Suchterkrankung können keine allgemeingültigen Aussagen getroffen werden.

In Their Own Words: A Materialist and Archival Look at Contingency in Composition Studies
Creators: name: Howard, Laura
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Composition, like other disciplines, has seen an explosion in the number of faculty teaching on a contingent basis. Contingent faculty—also known as adjunct faculty— represents an understudied group working with no benefits or job security:  their employment is contingent upon enrollment, departmental budgets, and a host of other factors.
As a contingent instructor of composition both “on-ground” and online, I am interested in bringing awareness to the material reality of teaching writing contingently. I aim to share the stories of contingent faculty in their own words, while advocating for the importance and validity of anecdotal evidence and personal stories in composition scholarship about contingency. I also explore research methodologies that privilege the personal, such as autoethnographic and archival research, and apply archival research methodology to analyze a cataclysmic Twitter conversation about contingent faculty that serves as both an example of hashtag activisim and a public forum where individuals can share their stories of contingency.
Contingent faculty’s experiences are critical to the future of composition scholarship: we cannot ethically move forward with improving, innovating, or assessing writing instruction in a meaningful way until we examine the material conditions under which much of that instruction occurs. Rhetoric and composition scholarship has a moral obligation to examine the working conditions of contingent writing instructors; to make space for their stories within the scholarship; to consider how their experiences impact students, departments, programs, and our profession; and to advocate for their rights and fair treatment.

description: We introduce a logical symbol of Word in this dataset as shown in Figure attached with this dataset, created from a sinusoidal Lissajous pattern with a=1, b=2 for signals x=A sin (at+ delta), y= B sin (bt), where A=B=1 and delta=0. This symbol is giving an insight in to the working of words through which spirit is created along with its particles through which life created. It is observed that there is a singularity point in the symbol. Published papers give more insight in to this. The word is the basic constituent of spirit and life on which cybernetics works with. To generate the symbol of word we use two .xlsx files, which stores the input data (883 values) for the x-axis input (as mentioned in the figure as Input Voltage y1, with file name Voltage_y1_data.xlsx) and the input data (883 values) for the y-axis input (as mentioned in the figure as Input Voltage y2, with file name Voltage_y2_data.xlsx). The x-input values (Input Voltage y1) for sin (2*pi*100*t) ranges from t=0 to t=.02 and y-input values (Input Voltage y2) for sin (2*pi*200*t) ranges from t=0 to t=.02, for an interval of t 1/44100, for a total of 883 points, which plots the symbol of word. To generate the symbol of word with this dataset you need to run the attached MATLAB script file (.m file) with file name, matlabscript_using_dataset.m, after uploading the two data input excel files titled Voltage_y1_data.xlsx and Voltage_y2_data.xlsx in to the MATLAB folder and workspace.
Victimization and psychopathology among children in the aftermath of mass trauma in Sri Lanka
Creators: name: Rajan, Vathsalan
Publisher: name: Universität Bielefeld
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: 150

description: Research in post-war communities has repeatedly found high levels of violence against children leading to the assumption that children in the aftermath of mass trauma are more likely to experience interpersonal violence. Understanding this specific phenomenon is crucial in order to stop the continuation of child maltreatment. Catani (2010, 2018) has developed a model on the transmission of mass trauma to violence against children on which the present work is based on. The present thesis focused on investigating the predictors of violence against children in the aftermath of mass trauma. Furthermore, the effects of positive parenting on children’s mental health in such regions were investigated assuming that poor mental health of children may be a risk factor for the experience of violence. We conducted three studies within a Tamil population in northern Sri Lanka which tragically represent a prototypical example of a region that had been shattered by a long-lasting war as well as a major natural disaster. In order to understand the complex interplay of factors that contribute to violence against children in the aftermath of mass trauma, we first focused on the prevalence rate and risk factors of violence against children living in families. Here, we investigated dyadic and triadic interactions that may lead to the victimization of children and the parental perpetration of violence against children. Second, we focused on the risk factors of violence against children living outside their families in order to reveal child-related factors that may contribute to their victimization within the institution. Finally, we examined the potential positive effect of parental care on children’s mental health in the aftermath of mass trauma. These three main analyses constitute the manuscripts of the cumulative dissertation. The presented results not only corroborate previous findings, but also provide further information on the development and continuation of violence against children in the aftermath of mass trauma. The result of the first and second study strengthen both pathways suggested by Catani (2010, 2018): Firstly, parents living in the context of mass trauma may subsequently suffer from psychological impairment and dysfunctional coping strategies such as substance abuse which may increase the likelihood of perpetrating violence against their children. Secondly, children affected by mass trauma may suffer from psychological impairments which may make them more vulnerable to experience violence. The third study revealed parental care as a protective factor that moderates the relationship between mass trauma and children’s mental health. Findings of the studies are discussed and conclusions and implications for further research and clinical practice are derived.

description: Geography, cultural remoteness and the second nature of within-country economic development: do island regions lag behind? Regional Studies. Using a unique dataset that encompasses island regions worldwide (76 regions) and all the other regions of the countries (22 countries) to which they belong (474 regions in total), we document that the within-country gross domestic product (GDP) per capita delay of island regions(on average –21.7% of their national mean), while not explained by regional (neither geographical nor cultural) distance to the (neither global nor local) frontier of economic development, i.e., remoteness, is associated with ‘second-nature’ regional factors (human capital and institutional quality) not specific to island regions. However, the condition of being an island is strongly associated with worst second-nature characteristics.

description: While deep neural networks have shown impressive results in automatic speaker recognition and related tasks, it is dissatisfactory how little is understood about what exactly is responsible for these results. Part of the success has been attributed in prior work to their capability to model supra-segmental temporal information (SST), i.e., learn rhythmic-prosodic characteristics of speech in addition to spectral features. In this paper, we (i) present and apply a novel test to quantify to what extent the performance of state-of-the-art neural networks for speaker recognition can be explained by modeling SST; and (ii) present several means to force respective nets to focus more on SST and evaluate their merits. We find that a variety of CNN- and RNN-based neural network architectures for speaker recognition do not model SST to any sufficient degree, even when forced. The results provide a highly relevant basis for impactful future research into better exploitation of the full speech signal and give insights into the inner workings of such networks, enhancing explainability of deep learning for speech technologies.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

To understand the 2008 financial collapse's impact on Ireland, the nation's leading newspaper, the Irish Times, predictably employed tropes in service since the Great Depression, including human body and geological metaphors for the economic system, while rarely using metaphors such as the casino economy or the networked economy that more aptly described the level of speculation in an economic system structured by the realities of the information age. Ireland’s post-Celtic Tiger poets exemplify the reciprocity between journalistic discourse incorporating economic tropes and Irish and Northern Irish poets’ use of this discourse as a method of social critique invested in the political policy direction of their nation. Irish poetry, absorbed in a more intensive version of linguistic expression and experimentation than journalistic discourse and economic rhetoric, provides insight into the effect of economic metaphors on the socio-cultural circumstances of the nation.
The Logic of Labor in Nineteenth Century American Literature

description: This dissertation relates the lessons of historical materialism to literary production in nineteenth-century America. In an attempt to refocus discussion of social class in this time period, I argue an emphasis on labor is essential to assess the political and economic understanding of authors writing during the reorganization of laboring life of the Market Revolution. I examine American authors from Walt Whitman and Abraham Lincoln to Herman Melville, Mark Twain, and Frederick Douglass whose interests in the aesthetics and politics of labor underlie the foundations of our understanding of class in nineteenth-century American literature.

description: Objective: The present study investigated the effect of foam thickness on postural stability in patients with unilateral vestibular hypofunction (UVH) during foam posturography. Methods: Static and foam posturography were performed in 33 patients (UVH group) and 30 healthy subjects (control group) with eyes open (EO) and closed (EC) on firm surface and on 1–5 foam pad(s). Sway velocity (SV) of center of pressure, standing time before falling (STBF) and falls reaction were recorded and analyzed. Results: (1) SVs had an increasing tendency in both groups as the foam pads were added under EO and EC conditions. (2) STBFs, only in UVH group with EC, decreased with foam thickness increasing. (3) Significant differences in SV were found between the control and UVH group with EO (except for standing on firm surface, on 1 and 2 foam pad(s)) and with EC (all surface conditions). (4) Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the SV could better reflect the difference in postural stability between the two groups while standing on the 4 foam pads with EC. Conclusion: Our study showed that diagnostic value of foam posturography in detecting postural instability might be enhanced by using foam pad of right thickness.

description: Rapid development and deployment of engineered nanomaterials, such as amorphous silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) in various commercial and biomedical applications have raised concerns about their potential adverse health effects, especially their chronic effects which have not been well addressed. In this study, human lung epithelial cells, BEAS-2B were continuously exposed to amorphous SiNPs, 5 μg/mL for 40 passages. We demonstrated here that prolonged exposure of BEAS-2B cells to amorphous SiNPs induced malignant transformation as indicated by enhanced cellular proliferation, anchorage-independent cell growth, and increased cell migration. The transformed cells induced tumorigenesis in nude mice. Furthermore, a comprehensive understanding of genome-wide transcriptional analysis was performed to clarify the molecular mechanisms based on microarray and bioinformatics analysis. Microarray data analysis demonstrated that chronic exposure of SiNPs affected expression of 821 genes, including 5 up-regulated and 816 down-regulated genes. Gene ontology and pathway analysis showed that SiNPs caused significant changes in gene expression patterns related to many important functions and pathways, mainly including response to cellular processes, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and cancer. In addition, Signal-net analysis indicated the most prominent significant role of tumor protein p53 in amorphous SiNPs-induced transformation. Further, data confirmed the inactivated p53 and aberrant p53 signaling under chronic amorphous SiNPs exposure. In summary, our data firstly demonstrated chronically low-dose amorphous SiNPs exposure resulted in malignant transformation of human lung epithelial cell via p53 signaling, which provides new in vitro evidence for the carcinogenicity of amorphous SiNPs.
With Great Literacy Comes Great Responsibility: Rethinking Popular Culture and the Literacy Practices of Superheroes

description: This project uncovers representations of literacy in superhero media. Observing how diverse conceptions of literacy inform character development and narrative structure in multimodal narratives, this study examines a range of superhero media (film, TV, video games, novels, and graphic novels), arguing how superheroes narratives, in particular, reveal exaggerations of student’s cultural values and perceptions of literacy. Extending New Literacy Studies scholars’ theories of literacy, this study shows how autonomous conceptions of literacy not only appear in these narratives but play vital roles in shaping current portrayals of superheroes and their corresponding worlds. This dissertation employs superhero media as a context to understand emerging views of literacy as a complex, multidirectional, multimodal, culture-based phenomenon which has been defined, redefined, ignored, implemented, politicized, controlled, and expressed by different ideas. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that representations of literacy in superhero media offer tremendous pedagogical value for students, as the exaggerated worlds of superheroes allow students to develop deeper understandings of how Western values intersect with attitudes about literacy.

description: A spatiotemporal model was developed to investigate emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Daqing, a Chinese city with large petroleum industry plants. The model was based on land-use types determined on a 10′ × 10′ grid. A geographic information system and regression analyses were used to characterise spatial and temporal variations in PAH emissions into multiple environmental media. The simulated results were validated using previously published experimental data, and the model was found to function well. PAH emissions to the atmosphere, soil, and surface water between 1998 and 2013 were estimated. The results indicated that PAH emissions to the atmosphere increased but PAH emissions to the soil and surface water decreased over the study period. PAH emissions to the atmosphere were markedly higher in winter than in summer. PAH emissions were concentrated in urban areas and areas near petroleum production plants, indicating that PAH emissions were closely related to industrial activities. The results will support research into the migration and transformation of PAHs and human health and ecological risk assessments. The results may also be useful for developing policies for controlling PAH pollution and managing risks associated with PAHs.

description: Waving goodbye? The determinants of autonomism and secessionism in Western Europe. Regional Studies. This paper sheds light on the main aggregate-level determinants of electoral support for regionalist parties across 10 Western European countries. A region being relatively richer than the country to which it belongs is associated with higher electoral support for regionalist parties only to the extent that the region is culturally differentiated. This hypothesis is substantiated theoretically, tested empirically and found to hold in the form of a strong and significant interaction effect between cultural and economic variables. This result, omitted in previous studies, implies a profound change in the interpretation of the role of income and cultural differences in explaining support for regionalism, for both autonomist and separatist parties.
