title: Die Unhintergehbarkeit des Einzelnen und die Bedeutung des Anderen
Creators: name: Ohrfandl, Cornelia
Year: 2017

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Kernelemente der Kantischen Moralphilosophie und zeichnet nach, wie Kant ausgehend von seinen erkenntnistheoretischen Bestimmungen auch innerhalb der praktischen Philosophie zu einer Neubegründung der Philosophie gelangt, insofern er die Bestimmung der Moral in der Formulierung eines allgemeinen Sittengesetzes, dem kategorischen Imperativ, festmacht, der als synthetisches Urteil a priori im Menschen verankert ist. In diesem Sinne stellt der Einzelne in der Moralphilosophie Kants eine Unhintergehbarkeit dar. Als Vernunftwesen ist er per se mit einem moralischen Sollen konfrontiert, das ihn dazu anhält, unter Rücksichtnahme der Achtung der Würde sowohl seiner selbst als auch der Würde seiner Mitmenschen moralisch gut zu handeln. Die beiden Leitsätze des Strebens nach eigener moralischer Vollkommenheit und der Beförderung fremder Glückseligkeit, die Kant in seiner Tugendlehre ausarbeitet, werden dem Einzelnen, er ist nach Kant als autonomer Selbst-Zwecke-Setzender bestimmt, dazu an die Hand gegeben. Der Einzelne kann dem unbedingten moralischen Sollensanspruch in sich dabei nur dann gerecht werden, wenn er sich das Glück der Anderen zu seinem eigenen Zweck macht, wie es die Liebespflichten fordern. Die Auseinandersetzung mit Kants Tugendlehre zeigt somit – anders als der kritische Einwand, die Kantische Moralphilosophie hätte es lediglich mit dem allgemeinen Anderen zu tun –, dass dem Eingehen auf den konkreten Anderen eine wesentliche Bedeutung zukommt und dass der Vorwurf des leeren Formalismus einer umfassenden Kantlektüre nicht standhält. Vielmehr zeigt sich, dass die Kantische Moralphilosophie Differenzierungen aufweist, hinter welche postmetaphysische Moralkonzeptionen, wie etwa die Diskursethik, zurückfallen, die den Aspekt der „inneren Freiheit“ des Menschen als Selbstgesetzgeber aussparen und unter Ausblendung der inneren Dimension von Moral der Gefahr einer moralischen Entleerung des Subjekts unterliegen. Als Forschungsausblick wird die Frage aufgeworfen, inwiefern Kants Moralphilosophie mit Emmanuel Levinas´ Alteritätstheorie in einen fruchtbringenden Dialog zu bringen ist.

description: In meiner Diplomarbeit „Mathematik mit Flüchtlingskindern“ will ich herausfinden, wie der Mathematikunterricht mit Flüchtlingskindern in der Schule und der Nachhilfe gestaltet werden kann und auf welche Aspekte man achten muss. Im ersten Kapitel wird die allgemeine Situation der Flüchtlinge in Österreich beschrieben. Neben Begriffserklärungen, statistischen Daten und weiteren Informationen zum Thema Flucht und Asyl wird auch auf eine Studie eingegangen, die zeigt, inwiefern sich Merkmale der Herkunftsländer auf die Schulleistung auswirken. Auch mit dem Thema Trauma beschäftige ich mich in einem Unterkapitel. Im zweiten Kapitel meiner Arbeit setze ich mich theoretisch mit Themen auseinander, die mir für den Mathematikunterricht mit Flüchtlingen wichtig erscheinen, der Sprache und den Textaufgaben. Die Theorie wird mit Empfehlungen für den Unterricht ergänzt. Im dritten Kapitel stelle ich meine praktische Arbeit vor. Neben zwei Interviews mit LehrerInnen von Flüchtlingskindern (in einer Neuen Mittelschule und einer Übergangsklasse), befragte ich neun NachhilfelehrerInnen durch eine Online-Befragung nach ihren Erfahrungen mit Flüchtlingen. Die Unterlagen werden ergänzt durch die Beschreibung meiner beiden Nachhilfeschüler, und schließlich zusammengefasst.
description: In my diploma thesis „Mathematics with refugee children“, I would like to research how the teaching of mathematics with refugee children in school and tuition can be designed and which aspects have to be considered. The first chapter describes the general situation of refugees in Austria. In addition to a definition, statistical data and further information of refugees and asylum, I also elaborate on a study, which shows how the characteristics of the countries of origin affect the school performance. In a subchapter I also deal with the issue of trauma. In the second chapter of my thesis, I studied the theoretical aspects, which seem important for mathematic lessons with refugees, the language and word problems. The theory is supplemented with recommendations for the lessons. In the third chapter, I present my practical work. In addition to two interviews with teachers of refugee children, I analyzed the experiences with refugees of nine private tutors by an online survey. The documents are supplemented by the description of my two private pupils, and finally summarized.

Ecological Controls on Coastal Blue Carbon: A Meta-Analysis of Microbial Health in Salt Marsh Soils
Creators: name: Erb, Hailey
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: Soil organic carbon (SOC) is concentrated in coastal wetlands, and its permanence maintains a livable climate, yet dynamics that govern microbial activity and SOC persistence are not fully characterized in coastal wetlands. Though microbial activity is conventionally thought to facilitate SOC loss, soil microbes simultaneously direct SOC formation. In fact, microbially-processed materials constitute up to half of the terrestrial soil organic carbon pool. Environmental conditions can affect whether microbes yield a net gain or loss of SOC, yet there is little consensus on microbial drivers of soil carbon longevity in coastal ecosystems. I sought to identify which drivers of microbial activity have the greatest impact on SOC in salt marsh soils. To address this question, I conducted a meta-analysis using the PRISMA method. Based on an initial survey of 2,835 studies, numeric data on soil and ecosystem characteristics were collected across 50 studies on over 60 salt marshes located around the world. Integrative data analyses, including structural equation modeling (SEM), were applied to synthesized data to identify environmental drivers of SOC in salt marsh ecosystems. Across a wide range of study sites, analysis of over 20 variables shows that soil characteristics are tightly linked. Salinity, pH, nitrogen, and phosphorus are associated with increased microbial biomass and soil organic carbon. Correlations between microbial biomass carbon and SOC are strengthened by soil salinity and nitrogen, and they are weakened by moisture. Correlations were dependent on the means by which variables were measured, yet findings were consistent across study sites. These results suggest that soil carbon content is affected by drivers of microbial activity. Observational findings set the stage for experimental strategies that parcel causal effects of microbial activity on SOC from confounding effects of covariant environmental conditions. I identified that nitrogen, phosphorus, salinity, pH, and moisture influence microbial contributions to SOC. These environmental drivers, as well as microbial biomass and greenhouse gas flux, should be considered key indicators of soil health when assessing the sustainability of coastal SOC. Identification of environmental drivers of microbial function enables design of land management strategies that promote conditions conducive to coastal soil carbon longevity.

Beneficial Invasive: A Rhizomatic Approach to Utilizing Local Bamboo for COVID Responsive Educational Spaces
Creators: name: Futscher, Megan
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: The United States has an abundant stock of naturalized wild growing bamboo species that are generally considered invasive. This project explores the use of locally harvested, so called “invasive” bamboo as a potential building material incorporated into a modular, kit-of-parts style construction system. These structures are uniquely suited to address the need for expanded spaces and extensions that bridge between the strictly indoor vs. outdoor distinction of existing buildings, as revealed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The rhizomatic mechanism of spread that is characteristic of bamboo species is used as the framework to propose a tectonic system that is decentralized, adaptable, and deployable. Drawing on a series of formal explorations, this system is further developed through a case study proof of concept design for Morningside Elementary School in Atlanta, GA, by supplementing, expanding, and adapting the existing facilities for eating, gathering, recreation, and learning to address the requirements of a Covid-19 safe school environment and to propose an ongoing outdoor learning program.
title: Der Zusammenhang zwischen allgemeiner Sprachkompetenz und dem Lösen mathematischer Textaufgaben

description: Existiert ein Grund für den bestehenden Dualismus von Sprache und Mathematik? Sind diese zwei Register tatsächlich als voneinander unabhängig zu betrachten, sodass dieser Dualismus als Begründungsbasis für Leistungen in der Schule herangezogen werden kann oder können nicht doch Zusammenhänge zwischen allgemeiner Sprachkompetenz und der Mathematik ausgemacht werden? Diese Diplomarbeit soll, ausgehend von einer integrativen Definition allgemeiner Sprachkompetenz, diese als mögliche Vorbedingung zur Bearbeitung mathematischer Textaufgaben beleuchten. Für Wissenschaftler der Psychologie oder Linguistik ist seit Jahrzenten der Zusammenhang von Sprache und Denken unbestreitbar. Durch eine Darlegung der vielfältigen Anwendungen von Sprache im Mathematikunterricht soll einerseits die Bedeutung der kognitiven Funktion von Sprache für mathematisches Handeln herausgearbeitet werden, um Sprache als Hilfsmittel zur Gedankenstrukturierung zu erkennen. Andererseits muss Sprache im Mathematikunterricht auch als Kommunikationsmittel aufgefasst werden, um diese geordneten und abstrahierten Gedanken zum Ausdruck bringen zu können. Sprache als Hilfsmittel zur Gedankenstrukturierung findet auch beim Leseprozess Anwendung und ist daher auch für die Bearbeitung mathematischer Textaufgaben von großer Bedeutung. Durch SchülerInnentestungen soll im Zuge dieser Diplomarbeit festgestellt werden, ob die allgemeine Sprachkompetenz tatsächlich mit der Fähigkeit mathematische Textaufgaben lösen zu können, korreliert.

description: One of the choice bits of scandal hovering over the Peace Conference at Versailles in 1919, was the mystery shrouding the Bullitt Mission. This was a secret delegation of three men sent to Russia in order to negotiate peace with the Bolsheviks. It was an incident directly connected with the Russian policy pursued at that time by the Allied powers. The League of Nations, the attitude of Secretary of State Lansing toward the League, the political assault of the Republican party, upon the Wilson foreign policy, also occupy part of the story.This thesis is to be a study of the Bullitt Mission in its relationship to American policy toward the Soviet government. It will, therefore, necessarily be intimately concerned with the entire Russian policy of the Allies, the various international questions that this policy brought forward, the personnel and methods employed by the delegates to the Parisian international conclave of 1919.The sources used herein are documents, hearings, printed reports of legislative debates, newspapers, periodicals, and carefully selected modern secondary works. The bibliography has been condensed to a bare minimum, emphasizing quality rather than quantity. The conclusion is that the Bullitt Mission was a failure for two reasons:1. It was foredoomed to failure by the compromise policy of the Peace Conference,2, It was a political mission whereas the situation demanded an economic or humanitarian mission.The reports submitted by members of the Mission, touched incidentally in this thesis, are valuable as source material for economic and social conditions in Russia in 1919.

Addressing Trauma Through Architecture: Cultivating Well-being For Youth Who Have Experienced Trauma
Creators: name: Itzkowitz, Megan
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: The aim of this thesis is to create an architectural design for youth that is informed by and in response to current trauma informed healthcare guidelines and research about wellness, with a focus on safety, trustworthiness, and empowerment.
70% of adults in the U.S. have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives, which stems into a larger risk factor public health group for substance abuse disorders and behavioral health issues (SAHMSA, 2014). “Individual trauma results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or life threatening and that has lasting adverse effects on the individual’s functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being” (National Council for Behavioral Health, 2013).
Understanding how trauma can affect humans and applying this information from a human centered approach helps architectural designers create spaces that cultivate wellbeing. These spaces acknowledge the needs of the user by integrating the knowledge of trauma into its design phase, from beginning to end. As a result, re-traumatization is avoided, and a user-focused space can be created.
This paper will evaluate and combine research about how to care for traumatized patients in the healthcare setting with research about how spaces make us feel, to create a community center with a focus in mental health outreach in Easthampton, MA. This project addresses the idea that design and space do have an influence on healing in various settings.

Buildings Integrated into Landscape & Making People Care for Them: Exploring Integrated Land-Building Ecosystems and the Lifestyles Needed to Support It
Creators: name: Mallio, Sara
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: As climate change worsens, it is imperative that we make drastic changes to how our
buildings are designed. We need to create building systems that work with and enhance the surrounding ecosystem. Many of these types of systems were developed and tested during the back to land and environmentalist movements of the 1970’s. What is needed now is to synthesize these systems into packages that can be more easily adopted by the mainstream culture. By paying special attention to what people are willing to invest into their home’s system maintenance and adapting the sustainable systems to meet those needs, we can craft truly sustainable and environmentally regenerative buildings and building systems to meet the needs of all people. Design strategies will be developed to engage the inhabitants with the building and its systems, prompting them to maintain those building systems with care instead of as drudgery. A 10-unit co-housing project will be designed with real clients to demonstrate the applicability of researched systems and design strategies. This thesis restricts its focus to systems applicable to residential building types, single family through multifamily, and to the New England climate.

Songs of Limitless Love: A Translation and Critical Exploration of Suzukake Shin’s Ai wo utae
Creators: name: Terranova, Venezio K
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: This thesis is a translation and analysis of select tanka from the tanka anthology, Ai wo utae (Sing Love), by Suzukake Shin, an openly gay Japanese contemporary tanka poet. Published by Seidosha in 2019, the anthology contains twenty-eight rensaku (sequences) with a total of 295 individual tanka. In this thesis, I have translated six of the twenty-eight rensaku for a total of sixty-three individual tanka. Tanka are a thirty-one syllable Japanese poem that has its roots in the Heian Period (794-1185). Before presenting my English translations of Suzukake’s tanka, I give a critical introduction that consists of three main sections: Background, Analysis by Theme, and Translation Commentary. In the background section I discuss Suzukake's biography and give a brief history of tanka to lay out the genre and place Suzukake in it. Next, in the analysis section I identify and discuss three major themes representative of Suzukake’s essence as a poet through detailed analysis of select tanka which exemplify the themes. The three major themes are: The Natural: Nature & the Body, The Everyday: Objects & Experiences, and The Technological: Technology & a Modern World. Finally, in the last section I discuss my overall approach to tanka translation in addition to major theories drawn from the translation studies field which have informed my translation process. I have also included an afterword which discusses why I believe gayness does not take on a theme of itself in Suzukake’s tanka.
The Federalist Party, 1789-1823

description: The Federalist Party, in America, was that group of men which organized the national government of the United States under the Constitution of 1787. The name Federalists was first given to those who stood for the adoption of the Constitution. They brought to the support of the instrument men of wealth, property-holders, the greater planters, the army officers, and creditors generally.The Federalists controlled the government until 1801, and organized it in all its branches, giving it an administrative machinery that in the main endures today. After 1801 they never regained power, losing strength by internal dissension and factious opposition to Democratic measures on grounds of ultra-strict construction. The party was dangerous in its sectionalism in 180.8, and in 1814, when the Hartford Convention was called. By 1817 it was practically dead as a national party, although it lived on in Massachusetts until 1823.It is said that Federalism died because the work for which the party came into being was finished, and because the Republicans usurped its principles of nationality. Others say that it died because its great leaders, Alexander Hamilton and John Adams, became bitter enemies, and because Jefferson was far their superior as a party leader. Perhaps the real reason was that Republicanism was thoroughly Democratic add modern, while Federalism had become obsolete in its social and economic ideas.
The Different Waves of "Chineseness": Analysis of Culture References and Lyrics in Zhongguofeng Music
Creators: name: Ye, Austin S

description: Zhongguofeng music 中国风流行曲 has had an impact on the Chinese pop music industry. Although the style of music uses familiar overtones that have been in wide usage within Western pop music, Zhongguofeng aims to emphasize more of a connection to a unified sense of Chinese culture, ethnicity, and identity. Specifically, I will argue that “Chineseness” is constructed through lyrics, which contain cultural references to the imperial era of China, and accompanying music videos, which provide visual imagery that further draws the viewer into an idealized “China”. In addition, the song’s instrumentals blend Western pop stylings with traditional Chinese instruments and vocal techniques. In this thesis I will use semiotics, or the study of signs and their meanings, to illustrate the listener’s perception of “China” in modern pop music. I will first introduce expressions of “Chineseness” in previous genres of Chinese pop music and then examine well-known Zhongguofeng songs. My goal is to question the nature of “Chineseness” itself and explore the process of “semantic snowballing”, in which terms change over time, depending on the individual performer and/or historical circumstances. I will analyze three different songs by artists from different regions, all released between 2006 and 2007 at the height of Zhongguofeng’s popularity : S.H.E.’s “Chinese Language” 中国话, Vincy Chan’s “Daiyu Laughs” 黛玉笑了, and Wang Lee Hom’s “Mistake in the Flower Fields” 花田错.

description: We study the loss, recovery, and preservation of differentiability of time-dependent large deviation rate functions. This study is motivated by mean-field  Gibbs-non-Gibbs transitions.  The gradient of the rate-function evolves according to a Hamiltonian flow. This Hamiltonian flow is used to analyze the regularity of the  time dependent  rate function, both for Glauber dynamics for the Curie-Weiss model and Brownian  dynamics in a potential.  We hereby create a unifying framework for the treatment of mean-field Gibbs-non-Gibbs transitions, based on Hamiltonian dynamics and viscosity solutions of  Hamilton-Jacobi equations.
Impact of Enterprise Resource Planning Implementation on Supply Chain Management Performance during COVID-19 Pandemic: A Study on Steel Re-Rolling Industries in Bangladesh

subject: Supply chains

description: The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship of enterprise resource planning (ERP) application (i.e. integration, material management, production planning, and workflow management) on supply chain management (SCM) performance of the steel-re rolling industries in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic. A questionnaire survey was used to obtain data and determine the relationship between ERP application and SCM performance during the covid-19 pandemic. The respondents of this study were executives who required an understanding of ERP applications. Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted using SPSS version 22. The findings of this study showed a positive and significant relationship between ERP applications (i.e. ERP integration with other applications, ERP application for material management, and ERP application for workflow management) and SCM performance during the covid-19 pandemic. The ERP application for production planning, however, did not demonstrate a positive and significant relationship with SCM performance during covid-19 pandemic. The findings imply that ERP application contributed to enhanced SCM performance during the most unfavorable covid-19 pandemic.

description: Seit dem Neolithikum bis ins 20. Jahrhundert wurden Lebensmittel in Speichergruben gelagert. Da diese Art der Bevorratung heute fast aus dem Gedächtnis verschwunden ist, soll im ersten Teil dieser Arbeit geklärt werden soll, wie Speichergruben funktionieren, wie und warum sie angelegt wurden und weshalb in unterschiedlicher Größe und Form. Neben Erfahrungen aus Experimenten und ethnographischen Vergleichen werden vor allem historische Berichte als Grundlage herangezogen. Im zweiten Teil wird ein Augenmerk auf die Verteilung spätbronzezeitlicher Vorratsgruben im Bezug zu den Häusern und Siedlungen gelegt. Damit soll analysiert werden, weshalb Speichergruben in unterschiedlicher Anzahl einzeln bei Häusern, gruppiert an ein oder mehreren Stellen oder gar als riesige Speicherareale bei oder entfernt von Siedlungen auftreten. Als Hypothese steht dabei im Raum, dass dadurch verschiedene Formen der individuellen und kollektiven Vorratshaltung von Lebensmittel sichtbar werden.
TALKING TO AI TUTORS: SPEAKING PRACTICE USING A JAPANESE LANGUAGE LEARNING APP TO IMPROVE L2 LEARNERS’ FLUENCY
Creators: name: Nakayama, Ryo
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: This study examines (1) whether L2 learners’ oral fluency and accuracy improve through conversation practice with AI tutors in a Japanese language learning app, (2) when fluency increases, and (3) which learning cycle is most effective. Ten participants joined the study and practiced conversations with Kaizen Languages’ AI tutors for three weeks. Learners selected their preferred learning cycle: a group with fewer lessons to complete per day but more practice days per week or a group with more lessons to complete per day but less frequent practice days per week. After three weeks of self-study, participants took an oral test to show how much they improved their fluency and accuracy in new contexts. The results of this study show that not only did learners’ oral fluency improve with the use of the Kaizen app, but their oral accuracy also increased. In addition, learners who improved their fluency practiced repeatedly, and their fluency improved until three or four repetitive practices. Although this study did not find an effective learning cycle, it implies that the ideal learning cycle requires at least three times of practice to improve fluency, while five to six times of practice produces higher accuracy.
title: Geomorphologische Naturgefahren im alpinen Raum im Zeitraum 1895 bis 2016 am Beispiel Johnsbachtal (Steiermark)
Creators: name: Dienesch, Robert
Year: 2017

description: Die Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit geomorphologischen Naturgefahren im alpinen Raum. Als Beispiel dient das Johnsbachtal in der Steiermark, welches schon lange bewohnt ist und auch heute noch ein beliebtes Gebiet für alpine Touristen darstellt. Nach einer Einführung über die verschiedenen relevanten Naturgefahren und einer kurzen Diskussion über den Begriff „Naturkatastrophe“ folgt eine Datenauswertung aufgezeichneter Ereignisse im Johnsbachtal. Dazu dient hauptsächlich der Wildbach- und Lawinenkataster des Bundesministeriums für Land- und Forstwirtschaft, Umwelt- und Wasserwirtschaft. Neben einer Verortung der Ereignisse mit Hilfe von ArcGIS, werden diese hinsichtlich Frequenz und Magnitude ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse werden statistisch analysiert und auf verschiedene Arten grafisch dargestellt. Da zur Entstehung von geomorphologischen Naturereignissen gewisse Wetterverhältnisse eine wichtige Rolle spielen, werden die Niederschlagsdaten und Abflussdaten der Region ausgewertet und hinsichtlich einer Veränderung untersucht. Zum Abschluss werden Luftbilder aus verschiedenen Zeiträumen untersucht und mit dem Ereigniskataster abgeglichen. Dabei wird evaluiert, ob die Meldungen des Ereigniskatasters vollständig sind oder, ob die Gefahr für die Region größer ist, als rein durch den Kataster dargestellt.
description: The thesis is about geomorphological natural hazards in alpine areas. As an example serves the Johnsbachtal in Styria, which has been inhabited for a long time and is still today a popular area for alpine tourists. After an introduction about the different relevant natural hazards and a discussion about the term “natural disaster”, follows an evaluation of recorded events in the Johnsbachtal. Here, the Wildbach- und Lawinenkataster (a register about torrents and avalanches) provided by the Bundesministerium für Land- und Forstwirtschaft, Umwelt- und Wasserwirtschaft (Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment- and Water Management) serves as primary source. The thesis includes not only the localization of the events using ArcGIS, but also the evaluation of their frequency and magnitude. The obtained results are subject to statistical analysis and presented graphically in a variety of ways. In order for geomorphological natural events to occur, specific weather conditions must be met. Therefore, rainfall rates and runoff data are analyzed. Finally, aerial photographs from different time periods are examined and compared to the data from the event register. Thereby, it is evaluated if the event register is complete or if the potential danger for this region is even bigger.
An Economy of Care: George Eliot's Middlemarch and Feminist Care Ethics
Creators: name: Newman, Madison V.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

description: This thesis assesses the centrality of care relationships in George Eliot’s Middlemarch and, by doing so, seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of individual and collective morality. Using the ethics of care as a methodological framework to acknowledge the importance of care acts and successful care relations – especially those complicated by the presence of dichotomized socioeconomic hierarchies – will allow readers to engage more fully with this text, its author, her relations, her characters, and the community of readers; reading Eliot’s work from this lens will allow us to validate every interaction, every thread of connectedness, and every act of care to better understand Eliot’s webs of relation. This thesis argues that it is the atypical or unexpected social figure that arises as the most effective care practitioner, regardless of social class. In order to arrive at this point, it will provide a foundational understanding of both care ethics – from the work of Nel Noddings to that of more contemporary theorists like Talia Schaffer and Sandra Laugier – and the economic theories circulating during Eliot’s time – Smithian, Ruskinian, and Socialist. Through an assessment of Dorothea Brooke, Fred Vincy, Mary Garth, and others within the Middlemarch community, this thesis integrates varying notions of political economy, reciprocity, engrossment, and genuine care for both compensated or uncompensated care acts. By doing so, it strives to privilege the success of authentic care, thereby triumphing the value of relationships over personal gain or ambition.
