description: This thesis aims to discern the appeal and the experience one could find at the purpose-built brothel in Pompeii. While we know certain aspects of Roman prostitution like the range of prices and different vocabulary terms for the word “prostitute”, my passion and curiosity for Roman daily life led me to question why a Roman male went to the brothel? What was the appeal of going to a purpose-built brothel rather than soliciting sex publicly in bathhouses or in the streets? I hypothesize that the appeal for the brothel was its disposition as an accepted sexual outlet for married men, the availability of non-normative sex, and the elite experience of reclined dining its majority sub-elite clientele could participate in. To examine this, chapters in this thesis look at the context of marriage and prostitution, the vocabulary of prostitution, the archaeology of the brothel in Pompeii, and the graffiti on the walls of the brothel and Pompeii.
The Vagueness of Dying in Epicurean Thought: A Stoic Remedy?

description: “Death, which is the most horrifying of evils, is nothing to us; whenever we, on the one hand, exist, death is not present. On the other hand, whenever death is present, we, then, do not exist” (Ep. Men. 125). According to Epicurus, in section one hundred twenty-five of his “Letter to Menoeceus”, if death is the deprivation of all sense-perception and the annihilation of the subject, it cannot be bad, for there must be an existing person to perceive that harm. The Epicureans, as James Warren suggests, therefore, advocated a sharp distinction between life and death. This paper argues that the clear threshold between existence and nonexistence that the Epicureans were so keen to establish is not as unambiguous as they maintained, since the point at which a person can be said to have died is indeterminate. While there is a distinct difference between life and death, I contend that the boundary the Epicureans upheld is fuzzy; the process of dying—the move from life to death—could be an uncertain and potentially painful process that ought to be feared. I aim to demonstrate, moreover, that the Stoic therapy for the fear of dying, primarily that of Epictetus and Seneca, mitigates our fears of this uncertain, nebulous stage and serves as a more effective palliative than the Epicurean by encouraging us to embrace uncertainty instead of resisting it. There is, according to the Stoics, a kind of certainty in uncertainty, namely that we know that we cannot know; acknowledging the insuperable epistemic gap with which we must all contend acts as a kind of consolation, for it, to the Stoics, may compel us to adopt attitudes to overcome the fear of future uncertainty, namely the fear of dying and possible pain. I seek to show (a) how the Epicurean therapy for the fear of dying is flawed, primarily by exposing a kind of logical vagueness that can be profitably analyzed as a sorites paradox; (b) how the Epicureans could have challenged the proposed sorites paradox; (c) why this vagueness ushers in a sort of uncertainty that harms the Epicurean hedonic project; (d) how Epictetus’ and Seneca’s treatment for the fear of dying is more efficacious than the Epicurean; and (e) how Epictetus’ and Seneca’s respective treatments could be challenged. I conclude that the Stoic therapy is more effective than the Epicurean, for the former fills the lacuna that the latter leaves open; dying, to the Stoics, ought not to be feared, but it is ultimately up to us whether we choose to adjust our mindset so as not to dread it.
Synthesis, and characterization of low-valent titanium complexes.

description: The chemistry of low-valent titanium is poorly developed apart from ubuquitous cyclopentadienyl derivatives. Among the possible supporting ligands for stabilizing low-valent transition-metal complexes, are alkylamides. By introducing bulky amides such as R$\rm \sb2 N\sp-$ $\rm (R\ =\ Me\sb3 Si,\ \sp{i}Pr,\ Cy)$ in the chemistry of Ti(III), we have opened a new field in the coordination and organometallic chemistry of this early transition metal. Synthetic methodology is focused on the preparation of novel bis(amido) Ti(III) complexes via transmetallation reaction of $\rm TiCl\sb3 THF\sb3\ with\ R\sb2 NLi,$ using different stoichiometric ratios, reaction conditions and in the some cases the presence of chelating legands, such as TMEDA. The $\rm (R\sb2 N)\sb2 Ti(\mu$-$\rm Cl)\sb2(TMEDA)\ (R=\ \sp{i}Pr\ 4,\ Cy\ 5)$ complexes provide a unique example of reversible reductive coupling of pyridine. The formation of 1,2,3,4-tetraphenyl-1-butene 9, promoted by diisopropyl derivative 4, is the result of reductive coupling followed by the transfer of two molecules of hydrogen. The large steric bulk of the amido ligands and their electronic flexibility allowed us to investigate novel bis(amido) Ti(III) complexes in further ligand replacement reactions with different functions, such as hydrides, borohydrides and alkyls.

description: microRNAs play an important role in the regulation of sleep. Previous studies have identified bantam as a sleep-promoting microRNA in Drosophila. We sought to characterize the role of bantam in sleep regulation by identifying which neurons require bantam for normal sleep maintenance and determining the cellular and molecular mechanisms through which bantam regulates sleep. Using split-GAL4 lines to express a bantam inhibitor (sponge) in a cell-specific manner, we found that bantam regulates sleep through multiple mushroom body output neurons (MBONs), a class of neurons previously implicated in sleep regulation. To determine whether bantam regulates the morphology of the MBONs, we imaged brains of flies co-expressing a fluorescent marker and the bantam sponge in MBONs of interest, and found that bantam does not regulate the gross morphology or cell number of the neurons tested in either the adult or developing fly. We employed two strategies to identify the mRNA targets of bantam: a bioinformatic pipeline to predict conserved targets of bantam, and RNA sequencing of γ2α’1 MBONs expressing the bantam sponge. Three potential sleep-relevant targets of bantam were identified: GAD1, Ptp69D, and fog. RNA sequencing identified 73 predicted targets of bantam that were upregulated in γ2α’1 MBONs expressing the bantam sponge, and gene ontology analysis predicted vesicle and active zone maintenance as potential biological pathways regulated by bantam in these MBONs. Our results identify a role for bantam in the adult regulation of sleep in specific subtypes of MBONs and identify GAD1, Ptp69D, and fog as potential mRNA targets of bantam.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Nursing.

description: Research into the phenomenon of burnout has been of an anecdotal nature. The literature abounds with definitional, analytical and psychometric limitations. Although burnout has been defined by numerous researchers in varying terms, research still lacks a universal definition and theory. Therefore, it is essential to develop this universal definition by investigating the existence, and the determinants of the concept. One approach hypothesized to establishing a theoretical definition of burnout is to use a sophisticated and rigorous analyses such as structural equation modeling with a sample of a professional's exhibiting symptoms of burnout. This present study focuses on the nursing profession and endeavours to propose at least an initial theoretical definition of the burnout construct for this profession. Research has determined that nursing is a profession prone to burnout. The current study elaborated on a postulated framework of burnout as it impacted on a nursing sample of 340 general staff nurses and 204 critical care nurses. In testing this model, the more salient determinants drawn from the research literature, were validated. The model incorporated such variables as Locus of Control, Professional Identity, and Femininity (personal variables); Role Conflict, Role Ambiguity, Workload, and Autonomy (organizational variables); and Self-esteem and Job Satisfaction (mediating variables). It was determined that nurses in this sample obtained from three major Ontario hospitals were indeed reporting levels of burnout. Further, the general staff nurses and critical care nurses reported differences in how they experienced that burnout. This information is particularly useful in developing programs to increase the quality of worklife for nurses. This study provides a foundation on which to expand the knowledge of burnout as a construct, its definition and its determinants. The study concludes with limitations and directions for future research.

description: This study introduces a framework to evaluate the Aerospike rocket engine thermal system resilience, which can be used as a reference to improve resilience for space travel. Recent advancements in the reusability of rocket propulsion systems have introduced the challenge of enhancing reliability, robustness, and resilience, particularly for missions to colonize celestial bodies such as the Moon and Mars where maintenance is scarce. To address this, the study proposes applying resilience assessment metrics to the Aerospike rocket engine, a key technology for next-generation reusable and interplanetary vehicles. The entire thermal and propulsion management system was modeled in SIMULINK to replicate actual flight data under both normal and abnormal conditions. A typical rocket ascent mission is simulated to provide dynamic results for each component of the thermal management system. Within this simulation, various types of damage are introduced and their cascading effects on subsystems and components are evaluated. Recovery strategies are implemented to enable the system to recover from damage and ensure mission completion. Additionally, this study presented a resilience model to assess the system's resilience concerning mission completion, specifically reaching the desired delta-v, and how well the implemented recovery strategies in the current design architecture can ensure better response to damage in terms of acceleration performance. Furthermore, thermal loads induced by damages and abnormal operating conditions are incorporated into a Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) model for GRCop-42, assessing cumulative damage to the cooling jackets across multiple missions. The proposed resilience index is then used as a reference to evaluate the resilience of the current system architecture to specific types of damage when assessing multiple engine reuses.

description: Vesicular neurotransmitter transporters are proteins responsible for packaging neurotransmitters in the presynaptic terminals neurons. Drosophila has many vesicular transporters, including members of families that package conserved small molecule neurotransmitters: vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT), vesicular g-aminobutyric acid transporter (VGAT), vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT), and vesicular glutamate transporter (VGluT). These transporters participate in various neuronal activities. However, how they are regulated in Drosophila brains is still not fully understood. In this project, we used global activity manipulations, including pharmacological and environmental manipulations, to perturb the environment in fly brains, and we studied how such manipulations might regulate the expression of VAChT, VGAT, and VGluT. Using picrotoxinin, an antagonist of GABA-A receptor, we found inhibition of GABA-A receptor activity could alter the expression of these transporters and weaken synaptic strength.

description: A significant amount of biomedical research has focused on finding more effective treatments and cures for cancer. However, little research has been conducted on how family caregivers within immigrant and minority communities in the United States experience and understand biomedical, alternative medical, religious, and spiritual forms of cancer treatment for their loved ones. This thesis research explores how Latinx family cancer caregivers experience and engage with cancer care in the United States. Through research, interviews, participant observation, and analysis, the study examines the various components that play a role in a Latinx family cancer caregiver’s experience taking care of a family member with cancer and engaging with cancer care. By interviewing Latinx family cancer caregivers, I found that participants did not only rely on standard biomedical interventions, but they also found it crucial to take on a more holistic approach to cancer care by incorporating alternative medicine, religious practices, and community support. This anthropology study, which emphasizes listening to unheard people’s experiences and perspectives, shows how important it is to listen to stories, as it allows us to view a more complete understanding of how immigrant and minority groups understand and approach US biomedicine and cancer care.

description: This dissertation investigates constructions of biblical mothers and motherhood in Jewish art and literature in the Second Temple Period and Late Antiquity. I argue that early Jewish communities rhetorically deploy the biblical mother as a figure who could effect communal, political transformation in the world of the text. I consider four texts as “case studies” which represent four major ways biblical mothers are understood to transform the political circumstances of their communities: through maternal prayer, Targum Jonathan’s Song of Hannah (2nd century CE); through maternal resistance, the fresco of the Widow of Zarephath at Dura Europos (3rd century CE); through maternal grief and loss, Lamentations Rabbah, petihta 24, on Rachel as a mourning mother (5th–6th century CE); and finally, through maternal martyrdom, the mother of the seven sons in 2 and 4 Maccabees (2nd century BCE and 1st–2nd century CE, respectively). My analysis is guided by the framework of reception history, which is the study of how biblical texts, stories, images, and characters are transformed beyond their original contexts in nachleben, or “afterlives.” Ultimately, my project offers a new, comprehensive evaluation of the myriad of ways in which ancient Jewish communities “thought with” biblical mothers in the Second Temple period through Late Antiquity.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: Prostate Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second most common cause of cancer death in Canadian men after lung cancer. Factors that promote metastasis in prostate cancer include the ability of prostate cancer cells to proliferate uncontrollably, and migrate and invade into tissues away from a localized prostate adenocarcinoma. Eph receptors are the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases and their role in cancer progression has recently taken interest due to their identification, expression and activity in several cancer types. The work presented herein examines the potential impact of EphB4 tyrosine kinase receptor on proliferation, migration and invasion of prostate carcinoma cell lines, PC3, Du-145, and LNCaP. Comparison of EphB4 protein levels between prostate tumor cell lines and normal prostate epithelial cells indicated that EphB4 was generally overexpressed in prostate cancer. To understand the role of EphB4 in prostate cancer, we employed siRNA to deplete EphB4 expression, or alternatively, by activating EphB4 receptor by exogenous addition of EphrinB2-Fc. Proliferation of prostate carcinoma cell lines was not affected when EphB4 was reduced using siRNA, nor when EphB4 was activated with EphrinB2. Additionally, activating EphB4 was not found to promote downstream activation of the PI3/AKT pathway hence did not affect cell survival. Cellular migration of PC3, Du-145 and LNCaP cells, as determined by Wound-healing migration assays, was significantly decreased when EphB4 protein was reduced. However, stimulating the EphB4 receptor using EphrinB2-Fc did not show significant changes in migration. A closer examination of Rho-GTPase proteins that regulate cytoskeleton reorganization and motility led to our finding that activation of EphB4 by EphrinB2-Fc increases activity of Rac and Cdc42. Furthermore, EphB4 plays an important part in invasion of PC3 cells as it was found that cells with reduced EphB4 expression had decreased invasion, while increased invasion was observed after EphB4 was activated with EphrinB2-Fc. These findings suggest that EphB4 could play important roles in prostate cancer metastasis and, with further investigations, it may be possible to develop cancer therapies based on targeting the EphB4 receptor.

description: Non-medical sex selection (NMSS) is the practice of using medical techniques to choose the sex of offspring for social, economical, cultural, and/or personal reasons, a practice that raises complex ethical, social, and legal issues. With the expansion of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), making fetal sex determination safer and possible earlier in a pregnancy, prenatal genetic counselors (GCs) are more likely to encounter patients who intend to use NIPT for NMSS in the future. Although there is evidence in the literature that GCs are already encountering these situations, their experience of counseling these patients is not known. In this qualitative study, we used an anonymous online survey consisting of seven open-ended questions to learn about GCs’ experiences of counseling patients who intended to use NIPT towards NMSS. Participants were asked to describe a case where their patient wanted to use NIPT for NMSS, and then to discuss how they counseled the patient, the factors that influenced their decision on how to counsel the patient, and how this encounter affected them on a personal and professional level. Three themes emerged from the 12 participants’ responses: (1) Ethical principles; (2) Cognitive dissonance and emotional distress; and (3) Empathy. Despite varying levels of discomfort with handling these cases, all participants provided their patients with the means to learn the sex of their fetus based on one or more ethical principles. Many participants reported experiencing conflict of values and emotional distress from these encounters, and they used reflection and processing as coping strategies which resulted in increased confidence in handling similar cases in the future. Findings from this study may be helpful in training prospective genetic counselors and providing guidance for practicing prenatal counselors. More research is needed to fully understand the complex decision making process and cognitive dissonance genetic counselors experience when counseling patients for this indication and the frequency of these encounters.

description: Canada's aging population and increasing incidence of cancer, in both older and younger adults (Canadian Cancer Society, 2007), has resulted in palliative care becoming a growing concern for Canadians. Family caregivers are expected to provide care to ill family members at home with limited training, support or community resources. While research has recognized numerous challenges of providing care at home along with the consequences on the caregiver, a thorough literature review showed little research has been published about the caregiver's transitional experience of admitting a family member from home to the palliative care unit (PCU). Thus, a Heideggerian phenomenology qualitative approach was used in this study to explore the question: What are the family caregivers' transitional experiences of admitting family members from home to the PCU? Ten participants completed in-depth interviews and Colaizzi's (1978) approach guided the study's analysis. The findings produced a framework entitled: Transitional Experiences of Family Caregivers: A Puzzle of Care Provision. It contained eight themes of "In the beginning - Searching for answers", "Managing at home - Juggling act", "Trying to get through it", "A shifting situation - Triggers leading to PCU admission", "The transition - Making the decision to go to PCU", "Getting near the end - PCU", "Looking back on care", and "Getting ready to move on". Follow up interviews verified that the themes and framework accurately described participants' experiences. This study is the first to thoroughly illustrate the family caregiver's transitional experience of caring for a family member from home to the PCU. It is hoped that this study raises greater awareness and understanding of the family caregivers' transitional experiences.

Subjects: subject: Mathematics.

description: The use of bilinear pairings as a building block for cryptographic protocols, most notably in the construction of identity-based cryptosystems, is a very popular area of cryptographic research. In this thesis, we provide a novel classification of pairing-based group key agreement (GKA) from current literature. We propose a new framework for constructing secure and efficient computationally asymmetric authenticated GKA protocols from identity-based signcryption schemes and adapt this framework to construct a novel identity-based authenticated GKA protocol with perfect forward secrecy. To the best of our knowledge, our protocol is the first that maintains perfect forward secrecy in the presence of auxiliary key agreement protocols. We formally prove the security of our protocols in the random oracle model and show that they are communication and computationally efficient in comparison to the pairing-based protocols from the literature.

description: Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant cancer disorder responsible for 2-3% of all diagnosed colorectal cancers. Currently, clinical genetic testing can identify a carrier of Lynch syndrome through a mutation in their MMR genes (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2). As Lynch syndrome is a hereditary syndrome, the knowledge that a family member has a gene mutation in one of the MMR genes may impact an individual’s health and lifestyle. Previous studies have shown that strategies and interventions to help reduce the barriers to dissemination of genetic test results to at-risk relatives are needed. The aim of this study was to ascertain what strategies and instruments genetic counselors identify as the most useful in helping patients share their positive Lynch syndrome MMR mutation genetic test results with at-risk family members, as well as help inform the family members of their potential risks. We recruited cancer genetic counselors who had counseled patients with Lynch syndrome within the past five years through the National Society of Genetic Counselors listserv and the NSGC Familial Cancer Risk Special Interest Group listserv to complete an anonymous, online survey. Of the 142 survey respondents, 97.6% reported that their patients expressed interest in sharing information about their diagnosis with their at-risk family members. Among the approaches, strategies and/or materials used, genetic counselors reported that a letter from a genetic counselor to a patient (98.2%) was the most used tool, while an institution’s online resource (9.6%) was the least used tool. Overall, most genetic counselors (88%) were satisfied with the tools they currently use. Additionally, genetic counselors reported that the tools they use are both effective and helpful to patients. Future research should look more carefully at patients’ perceptions of tools that were successful at helping them share their positive Lynch syndrome genetic test results with at-risk family members.

description: Biometric authentication systems are used to guide the system security for many years in the computer world and make the user's identification easier and more convenient. Meanwhile, the systems encounter lots of challenges, attacks and threats, privacy protection and system management requirements, which affect the user's acceptance. Differing from the commonly used solutions, in this thesis the approach is to modify the system to meet these requirements, which results in a distributed architecture which can be composed in real time, and resolves the above challenges in one solution. A system prototype based on the proposed system architecture is designed as a sample for the reference of other system designers.

subject: Engineering, Materials Science.

description: This thesis describes the development and realization of a novel method of transferring energy vertically through any number of substrate layers of a printed circuit board at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. The motivation for this thesis has been the need for a high performance, small size and low cost vertical interconnect circuit which can be used in wireless applications. In particular, array antenna applications often require vertical interconnects in beam forming networks or to couple signals from the beam forming network to the radiating elements. Therefore, the transfer of energy vertically through several layers of printed circuit board is an essential means to pass information for further processing. This thesis initially discusses and evaluates recent developments produced within the microwave industry on this topic through a concise review of the literature. Shortcomings of current techniques to transfer energy vertically at microwave and millimeter wave frequency are identified and discussed. The main objective of this thesis was to determine vertical interconnect solutions to operate at any microwave and millimeter wave frequencies, that can be easily implemented using current printed circuit board (PCB) technology and to provide flexibility to construct multiple substrate layer transitions between two microstrip lines by the use of via walled cavities. This was done through the undertaking of both the simulations and practical realization of a vertical interconnect design. With this objective, the techniques and methodology as well as design guidelines are developed and discussed. Various cavity types and circuit configurations are presented with tradeoff analyses. Also, a manufacturing tolerance study is presented to show that this novel method of transferring energy can be used in applications at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies.

description: This study aimed at examining the validity and reliability of the translated PedsQL instruments in healthy Malaysian pediatric population. Study population consisted of children aged 5-7 and 8 -12 years as well as adolescent aged 13- 18 years recruited from the continently selected primary and secondary schools located in Klang valley area. All participants were requested to obtain parental consent. The participants must possess the ability to read and understand the questionnaire independently in any one of the languages, namely English, Malay, Tamil and Mandarin. Both forward and backward translation process was adopted in translating the instruments. A harmonization meeting involving all the translators and researchers was then held to review, reconcile and harmonize the translated instruments. Cronbach’s alpha was used to demonstrate the internal reliability of the instruments with a 2-weeks period. The predictive strength of the parent proxy report on the child self report was studied using the predictive validity. The Cronbach’s alpha values for child self report in all versions of PedsQL were found to be at least 0.70 while the values were reported to be at least 0.80 for the parent proxy report. Moderate correlation between the child self report and parent proxy report was observed for children aged 5-7 and 8-12 years, while the correlation was moderate to high for children aged 13-18 years. The findings in this study demonstrated the Malay, Mandarin and Tamil PedsQL possessed acceptable internal reliability and predictive validity.
Υπαίθριες σκηνές της 'αναβίωσης' του αρχαίου δράματος στην Ελλάδα ως το 1940 (α): η περιπέτεια του χώρου

description: Η 'αναβίωση' του αρχαίου δράματος στη χώρα μας, ήδη από τον 19ο αιώνα και μέχρι τον Β΄ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο, συνδέεται στενά με τη χρήση υπαίθριων χώρων, πρακτική που συστηματοποιείται για πρώτη φορά κατά τη διάρκεια του Μεσοπολέμου. Οι σκηνές της 'αναβίωσης', που φιλοξένησαν το ανέβασμα αρχαίων δραμάτων αλλά και συναφών έργων, ήταν είτε μνημεία της αρχαιότητας διάσπαρτα στην ελληνική επικράτεια (Παναθηναϊκό Στάδιο, Ωδείο Ηρώδου του Αττικού, Αρχαίο θέατρο Δελφών, Αρχαίο θέατρο Επιδαύρου), είτε προσωρινά θέατρα σε φυσικό τοπίο, που διαμορφώθηκαν ειδικά για τον σκοπό αυτό (Φιλοπάππου, Λυκαβηττός). Σχεδιάστηκε, επίσης, μια νέα υπαίθρια σκηνή με το αρχαίο θέατρο ως πρότυπο, που όμως έμεινε ημιτελής (Υπαίθρια Σκηνή στην αρχαία Κοίλη). Το άρθρο ιχνηλατεί εν συντομία την ιδεολογική βάση της 'αναβίωσης' των υπαίθριων χώρων καθώς και τα ευρωπαϊκά πρότυπά της, ενώ εξετάζει αναλυτικά τις σκηνοθετικές και σκηνογραφικές επιλογές των ανθρώπων του θεάτρου της εποχής, στις παραστάσεις που δόθηκαν στους ιδιόμορφους αυτούς χώρους – ιδιόμορφους σε σχέση με τον διαφορετικής αρχιτεκτονικής σύστασης κυρίαρχο τότε τύπο της ιταλικής σκηνής. Ακόμα, περιγράφονται αναλυτικά οι ποικίλες προσπάθειες να αντιμετωπιστούν τα προβλήματα που παρουσίαζε και τα ζητήματα που έθετε ο κάθε χώρος, οι διαφορετικές δοκιμές των εκάστοτε θιάσων, καθώς και οι δόκιμες λύσεις σε αυτό το κομβικής σημασίας ζήτημα του νεοελληνικού θεάτρου.

description: Nicotine is commonly understood to be an appetite suppressant, but perceptual mechanisms that might underlie this anecdotal effect have received little study. It is possible that nicotine might simply reduce thirst (and hunger), thereby altering consumption behavior in a fairly stimulus- general manner. Alternatively, nicotine might alter taste perception, perhaps making particular tastes less palatable. We decided to test these hypotheses in rodents by looking at changes in consumption in a brief-access task (BAT), which allowed us to rapidly assess preferences for tastants varying in quality and hedonics, in rats recently given doses of nicotine or saline via subcutaneous injection. Acute nicotine administration reduced consumption of all presented solutions, but not monolithically—the reduction in consumption increased as palatability of the solution decreased. We further investigated this phenomenon, testing whether the effect of acute exposure to nicotine was a product of the novelty of the experience or of the nicotinic state itself. We repeated Experiment 1 but added one group of which rats were exposed to 4 injections of nicotine prior to the collection of BAT data; for these rats, nicotine was no longer novel, but they had not received enough exposure to develop dependency. The results of this experiment replicated the effect found in experiment 1—the more aversive a taste, the greater the reduction in consumption—and therefore suggested that taste-specific reduction of consumption is a product of nicotine itself, not just the novel state.

description: Αντικείμενο του άρθρου αποτελεί η μαρτυρία του Γιώργου Φαρσακίδη, πρώην εξόριστου που είχε ασχοληθεί με τη σκηνογραφία στους τόπους εξορίας (Άη Στράτη, Μακρόνησο, Γυάρο και Λέρο), ο οποίος σήμερα ζει στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Η έρευνα επικεντρώθηκε στον Άη Στράτη, τον τόπο όπου ο Φαρσακίδης έμεινε εξόριστος κατά το μεγαλύτερο διάστημα της συνολικής του εξορίας (1950-1961), και ειδικότερα σε τέσσερις από τις σαρανταπέντε θεατρικές παραστάσεις εκείνης της περιόδου, για τις οποίες έχουν διασωθεί και τα περισσότερα στοιχεία (ζωγραφικές μακέτες, φωτογραφίες, μαρτυρίες). Οι παραστάσεις αυτές είναι: οι Πέρσες του Αισχύλου, η Βαβυλωνία του Βυζάντιου, ο Έμπορος της Βενετίας και ο Οθέλλος του Σαίξπηρ. Μέσα από αυτές τις παραστάσεις εξετάζονται θέματα, που έχουν να κάνουν με το ρόλο του θέατρου στην εξορία και την ιδιαιτερότητα της σκηνογραφίας στο θέατρο αυτό.

Las imágenes del amor erótico-trascendente en Los cálices vacíos de Delmira Agustini.
Creators: name: Baril, Marie-France.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Literature, Latin American.

description: Delmira Agustini (Uruguay 1886--1914) enjoys the reputation of being the first feminist poet of Latin America. Her poetry book Los calices vacios (1913), her best work, was received with much acclaim by the critics and the public. The heart of this investigation lies in the examination of the images which express the main theme in Delmira's Los calices vacios. Starting from the proposition that this is love both erotic and transcendent, we proceed to find two categories which help understand the duality of love: the concept of love and the concept of the lover, expressed by a number of dual images. Subsequently we study the presence of literary currents in Delmira Agustini's Los calices vacios. The examination of different aspects of Romanticism, Parnassianism and Symbolism (which make up Modernismo, the most influential literary current of Delmira's time) contribute to deepen the understanding of the nature and functioning of the images which belong to the concepts of love and the lover. It is hoped that this contribution will throw more light on the complexity and high artistic achievement of Agustini's love imagery. The erotic-transcendent love so masterly expressed in her poetry is worthy of her short, rich life.
