Exertional Rhabdomyolysis: Studying The Perfect Storm, Nicholas B. Holtgrieve 2014 Indiana State University

Exertional Rhabdomyolysis: Studying The Perfect Storm, Nicholas B. Holtgrieve

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Background: Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening syndrome characterized by the breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers resulting in the release of proteins into general circulation. Common practice for diagnosing exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) is using biochemical markers for muscle damage; creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin (Mb) are proteins detected in the bloodstream after muscle injury or trauma. Serum creatinine is the best biochemical marker for calculating renal function. Measuring GFR is not common when assessing ER. Purpose: The aim of this study is to help predict ER. Methods: Ninety-three athletes volunteered for the research study. Participants were asked to give blood three …

La Prostitution Dans La Culture Française Du Dix-Neuvième Siècle: Classe, Sexe, Et Contagion, Kelsey Callahan 2014 University of New Orleans

La Prostitution Dans La Culture Française Du Dix-Neuvième Siècle: Classe, Sexe, Et Contagion, Kelsey Callahan

Senior Honors Theses

The creation of the French Penal Code of 1791, which failed to address the legality of prostitution, and the social climate of nineteenth-century France led to the rapid development of sexual commerce. The spread of syphilitic diseases soon became a serious crisis, and the fault of the spread of syphilis and disease was quickly ascribed to purchasable women. Other social crises of the time, such as problems with sewage and the spread of disease and decay also came to be associated with prostitution. My thesis will examine ways in which male artists of the time used literature and painting to …

The Feminization Of The Literary Voice And The Rhetorical Tradition In The Lais Of Marie De France, The Mirror Of Simple Souls, And The Book Of The City Of Ladies, Elisa B. Filippone 2014 University of Texas at Brownsville

The Feminization Of The Literary Voice And The Rhetorical Tradition In The Lais Of Marie De France, The Mirror Of Simple Souls, And The Book Of The City Of Ladies, Elisa B. Filippone

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

This study demonstrates how The Lais of Marie de France (12th c.) by Marie de France, The Mirror of Simple Souls (14th c.) by Marguerite Porete, and Christine de Pizan’s The Book of City of Ladies (15th c.) serve as the three progressive steps in the transformation of the rhetorical theory and the feminine literary voice, redefining woman from the idea of inferior entity written by men over centuries into the concept of an intellectual and virtuous female human being. The development of a strong feminine literary voice starts as de France feminizes the masculine language she borrows from masculine …


Jeanne D' Arc : La Sainte De La Patrie?, Nathalie Mahoney 2014 Montclair State University

Jeanne D' Arc : La Sainte De La Patrie?, Nathalie Mahoney

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

This thesis concentrates on the use of Joan of Arc by various political groups during the period of 1870-1914, which marks the period of La Belle Époque. Nineteenthcentury France witnessed an acute anti-clerical campaign led by the Third Republic, which saw the French Church as a threat to the progress of its modernist ideas. The schism between the Republicans and the Catholics dates back to the French Revolution of 1789, when the Civil Constitution of the Clergy of 1790 placed the church under the control of the government. A de-Christianization process began, but was temporarily resolved with the signing of …

The French Print Media And Their Influence On Public Opinion: An Enduring Trend?, Leah Long 2014 Georgia Southern University

The French Print Media And Their Influence On Public Opinion: An Enduring Trend?, Leah Long

Honors College Theses

The French print media, “la presse”, are a diverse and rich method of mass communication. As media are a driving force behind the formation of public opinion, this study looks at the influential role of French print media on public opinion in France, a trend that began with the Dreyfus Affair in the late nineteenth century. Through investigating two relatively recent events and their place in French print media, the formation of the European Union and the millennial economic crisis, we can assess the durability of this trend into the modern era of mass communication. With worldwide newspaper readership declining …


Discovering And Documenting The Treasures Of Siena Siena Walks, Matthew Hatch, Cinzia Donatelli Noble 2014 Brigham Young University

Discovering And Documenting The Treasures Of Siena Siena Walks, Matthew Hatch, Cinzia Donatelli Noble

Journal of Undergraduate Research

We researched and prepared a travel itinerary (booklet) mainly for students who study abroad and fulfill academic internships to Siena, Italy, and it will serve tourists traveling through BYU travel services. This booklet is still being finalized, but it is in the process of being published. Siena is a diverse and unique city because it is divided into competing districts. The competition, which started more than 400 years ago, fostered an environment where the competing districts always tried to outdo their municipal others. Consequentially, the architecture, arts, music, festivals, etc. in each district are superb. My task was to research …

Thanks to the funding, I was able to complete my honors thesis, which now is available for the public to view in the Harold B. Lee Library (call number XX(5369221.1).


Ça Commence Aujourd' Hui, Être Et Avoir Et Entre Les Murs: Une Vision Diffractée De L'École Républicaine Française, Annie Jouan-Westlund 2014 Cleveland State University

Ça Commence Aujourd' Hui, Être Et Avoir Et Entre Les Murs: Une Vision Diffractée De L'École Républicaine Française, Annie Jouan-Westlund

World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

The essay is a detailed cinematic and cultural analysis of Ça commence aujourd'hui by Bertrand Tavernier (1999), Être et Avoir by Nicolas Philibert (2003) and Entre les Murs by Laurent Cantet (2008). It contrasts the cinematic depictions of three French schools in rural, urban, and suburban France. Through a comparison of locations, pedagogy, and student expectation, the essay shows a contrasted and diffracted vision of the French educational system portrayed in the films. In the context of school reforms debated in France, the essay points out the variety and complexity of different schools visualized through the cinematic lens, and it …

Cute Girls, Tough Boys: Performing Gender In Algerian Manga, Alexandra Gueydan-Turek 2014 Swarthmore College

Cute Girls, Tough Boys: Performing Gender In Algerian Manga, Alexandra Gueydan-Turek

French & Francophone Studies Faculty Works

This article explores the way in which masculinity and femininity are constructed in Algerian manga, an emerging, understudied sub-genre within the field of Algerian graphic art. Through the exploration of youth-oriented publications of shojo and shonen manga, I will demonstrate how these new local works offer a privileged form of expression for and platform to address disaffected Algerian youths. The primary focus of this investigation will be the differences (or lack thereof) between ideals of gender performances as expressed in Algerian manga and ideals of gender identity in society at large. This article will demonstrate that, while some differences manifest …

Le Rapport Entre La France Et Le Rwanda Au Passé, Au Présent, Et À L’Avenir, Claire Nadolski 2014 Lynchburg College

Le Rapport Entre La France Et Le Rwanda Au Passé, Au Présent, Et À L’Avenir, Claire Nadolski

Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

Le Rwanda est un pays d’Afrique centrale de l’est. Peuplé d’environ 10. 942.950 millions d’habitants parlant français, anglais, et Kinyarwanda. Bien que la France n’ait jamais colonisé le Rwanda, les deux pays ont un rapport très spécial. L’évènement historique auquel tout le monde pense est, sans aucun doute, le génocide au Rwanda et « l’Opération Turquoise » dans laquelle les Français ont aidé et protégé les Hutus qui tuaient des millions de Tutsis dans le but « soidisant » de la paix. Le génocide est un élément très important dans l’histoire du Rwanda, mais ce n’était pas la seule partie …

Introduction Fed Up: Creating A New Type Of Senegal Through The Arts, Molly Krueger Enz, Devin Bryson 2014 South Dakota State University

Introduction Fed Up: Creating A New Type Of Senegal Through The Arts, Molly Krueger Enz, Devin Bryson

School of American and Global Studies Faculty Publications with a Focus on Modern Languages and Global Studies

Present-day Senegal is home to a vibrant cultural milieu that, in many respects, is reflective of that which its first president, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and the Senegalese cultural eminences grises endeavored to promote during the early postcolonial period. As Elizabeth Harney has noted, Senghor “regarded art as a medium of change—a tool that could be used to advance his cultural, political, and economic development plans. Consequently, he envisioned the artist as a representative of and advocate for a new nation.” Today, there exists a burgeoning scene of young authors, artists, actors, and musicians who are continuing in this Senghorian cultural …

Diouf provides her reader with a comprehensive yet critical view of Senegal and shows how her homeland is affected by and reacts to the changes it currently faces. In a recent interview, Diouf …
