Changing Relationship With The Land And One Another In Pindoyú, Paraguay, Kathryn E. Peters May 2015

Changing Relationship With The Land And One Another In Pindoyú, Paraguay, Kathryn E. Peters

Latin American Studies ETDs

This thesis is about agricultural transition in the face of globalization in the community of Pindoyú, Paraguay. Utilizing the extended case study method, the experiences of people of Pindoyú are documented through partcipant observation, individual and household interviews, and auto-ethnographies in order to illuminate theory on the articulation of modes of production, moral economy, and Marxist ecology. Rooted in Meillassouxs understanding of the domestic mode of production and Wolpe's extended view of the articulated modes of production, it argues that people in Pindoyú are participating in the capitalist mode of production while also practicing values incongruent with capitalist production. Findings …


Gold, Water, And Governance: The Stakes In The Santurbán Páramo Debate, Amanda Hooker May 2015

Gold, Water, And Governance: The Stakes In The Santurbán Páramo Debate, Amanda Hooker

Latin American Studies ETDs

Currently in Santander, Colombia, a contentious debate over the demarcation of a protective boundary of the Santurbán Páramo is underway. For the approximately 9000 páramo residents, the collateral effects of the outcome could result in dispossession of lands and livelihoods. This paper will argue that status quo Colombian territorial zoning, at the service of Canadian mining interests cast domestically as the principal 'locomotora' (driving force) of national development, allows different expressions of state and civil society actors to either bypass or use environmental protections as means of personal gain and/or capitalist expansion. Mobilizing under a discourse of conservation, down-stream urban …

From Garbage To Gardens: Urban Agriculture In Mexico City, Edwina Dubois

Latin American Studies ETDs

The main objectives of this study are to describe the food system of Mexico City; identify how the urban poor access food on an everyday basis; determine who participates in urban agriculture projects, and for what purpose; determine the nutritional, economic, physical and ecological impact urban agriculture has had on participants; and observe the impact community urban gardens have on the surrounding community (multipliers). Many governments, including Mexico City's, are introducing institutional and other policy changes that recognize, manage and promote urban agriculture. This study looked at urban agriculture projects, mostly in marginalized communities, within the 16 boroughs of Mexico …


New Approaches For Data-Mining And Classification Of Mental Disorder In Brain Imaging Data, Mustafa Sinan Cetin May 2015

New Approaches For Data-Mining And Classification Of Mental Disorder In Brain Imaging Data, Mustafa Sinan Cetin

Computer Science ETDs

Brain imaging data are incredibly complex and new information is being learned as approaches to mine these data are developed. In addition to studying the healthy brain, new approaches for using this information to provide information about complex mental illness such as schizophrenia are needed. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) are two well-known neuroimaging approaches that provide complementary information, both of which provide a huge amount of data that are not easily modelled. Currently, diagnosis of mental disorders is based on a patients self-reported experiences and observed behavior over the longitudinal course of the illness. There is …


Gcn5l1 Functions As A Mitochondrial Acetyltransferase That Regulates Mitophagy, Bradley Roy Webster May 2015

Gcn5l1 Functions As A Mitochondrial Acetyltransferase That Regulates Mitophagy, Bradley Roy Webster

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Caloric restriction (CR) increases lifespan and promotes both longevity and €˜healthy-aging. CR's benefits are dependent in part on NAD-dependent deacetylases known as sirtuins. NAD levels increase with CR promoting sirtuin-mediated deacetylation of lysine residues. Humans express seven sirtuin isoforms that localize to specific sub-cellular compartments. Sirtuins and acetylation affect numerous cellular processes including mitochondrial function. Sirt3 is the major mitochondrial deacetylase and regulates mitochondrial function namely ATP levels, oxidative stress and metabolism. Given the importance of mitochondrial acetylation and Sirt3, we hypothesized the existence of a mitochondrial-localized acetyltransferase that 1) localizes to the mitochondria; 2) has an acetyltransferase domain; and …


The Fruits Of Empire: Contextualizing Food In Post-Civil War American Art And Culture, Shana Klein May 2015

The Fruits Of Empire: Contextualizing Food In Post-Civil War American Art And Culture, Shana Klein

Art & Art History ETDs

The Fruits of Empire is a social and visual history of food in American art. With four fruit case-studies on representations of grapes, oranges, watermelons, and bananas, this project demonstrates how the visual culture of food provides a platform for examining the expansion and reconstruction of the United States in the decades following the Civil War. While chapters on grape and orange representations from California and Florida reveal the ways in which fruit serviced national expansion and the colonization of Americas fruit-lands, a chapter on watermelon imagery illustrates the racial stereotypes assigned to food that reinforced social divisions between white …


The Role Of G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor In Vascular Function And Hypertension, Natalie Catherine Fredette May 2015

The Role Of G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor In Vascular Function And Hypertension, Natalie Catherine Fredette

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Regulation of arterial tone relies heavily on molecular crosstalk between endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Although it has been demonstrated that estrogen (E2) exerts protective effects against cardiovascular disease (CVD), the exact mechanisms and balance of E2 signaling in endothelial and smooth muscle cells remain unresolved. Here we characterize the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) in the vasculature by elucidating its pathway in endothelial nitric oxide (NO) production and vascular smooth muscle maintenance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by NADPH oxidases (NOX). NO is thought of as a vasoprotective entity, while the overproduction of ROS by NOX can lead to …


In Vivo Characterization Of G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor In Mammary Tumorigenesis, Nicole Andrea Marjon May 2015

In Vivo Characterization Of G Protein-Coupled Estrogen Receptor In Mammary Tumorigenesis, Nicole Andrea Marjon

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

The steroid hormone, estrogen (17β-estradiol or E2), is involved in numerous and varied physiological processes. Until recently, all E2-dependent effects were thought to be propagated exclusively through the classical estrogen receptors (ERs), ERα and ERβ. However, in double ERα/β knockout mice, select E2-dependent effects remain, suggesting the existence of additional E2 receptors, such as the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) 1. E2 plays a central role in the progression of breast cancer, and inhibiting E2 signaling in women with breast cancer increases long-term survival. The role of GPER in breast cancer is largely unknown. E2 stimulation of GPER activates the …


A Novel Cytokine Profile Associated With Cancer Metastasis To Mediastinal And Hilar Lymph Nodes Identified Using Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy, Ali Imran Saeed May 2015

A Novel Cytokine Profile Associated With Cancer Metastasis To Mediastinal And Hilar Lymph Nodes Identified Using Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy, Ali Imran Saeed

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Introduction: Cancer metastasis to mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes is indicative of a poor prognosis. It is thus important to understand the pathogenesis of cancer metastasis on a cellular and molecular level with a goal to develop novel therapies directed towards prevention and treatment. In this study we compared cytokine expression in benign versus malignant mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes using EBUS-FNA biopsy specimen. Methods: In this prospective, single center study, we collected EBUS-FNA biopsies from patients recruited using a convenience sampling approach. Cytokines were assayed using Bio-Plex Pro human cancer biomarker panels 1 and 2 in a Bio-Rad 200 …


The Relationship Between Parks, Health, Income, And Education In Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jessica Sebring Small May 2015

The Relationship Between Parks, Health, Income, And Education In Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jessica Sebring Small

Architecture and Planning ETDs

As resources are becoming scarcer, Southwestern cities are looking for ways to expend less water and money, leading to removal of green spaces. This is happening alongside the current health crisis occurring throughout the United States, which is unfortunate since urban green spaces have been found to improve human health. The purpose of this study, focusing on Albuquerque, New Mexico, is to determine: (1) if those benefits appear to exist in a desert city, and (2) how additional variables, such as income and education, compare with parks regarding impact on community health. A GIS analysis was conducted using park, health, …


Role Of School In The Community Development Of Kin Dah Lichii, Arizona, Michaela Paulette Shirley May 2015

Role Of School In The Community Development Of Kin Dah Lichii, Arizona, Michaela Paulette Shirley

Architecture and Planning ETDs

I wanted to understand how the school impacted the physical development of Kin Dah Lichii, as well as, other impacts that were seen after the school came. I argue, under the belief, that the school was an asset for Kin Dah Lichii’s historic and present-day community development. The Asset-Based Community Development, Indigenous planning, and Landscape perspectives are used to analyze the role of a school in the community development of Navajo Nation and Kin Dah Lichii. The data collection entailed two phases: (1) archival research and (2) community interviews. The insight gained from the archival research is that schools did …

Tumor Promoting Properties Of Field Cancerized Fibroblasts In Cell Culture, Randi L. Smith May 2015

Tumor Promoting Properties Of Field Cancerized Fibroblasts In Cell Culture, Randi L. Smith

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Our recent studies have shown that Tumor Adjacent Histologically Normal (TAHN) breast tissue demonstrates many of the characteristics of breast tumors. For example, through immunohistochemical staining with markers such as alpha smooth muscle actin and TGF-β, we have shown the accumulation of myofibroblasts in TAHN tissues 1 cm from the tumor margin (TAHN-1). Additionally, TAHN-1 epithelia stain positive for epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) associated proteins, such as transforming growth factor beta and alpha smooth muscle actin. The purpose of this study was to determine if TAHN-1 fibroblasts retained myofibroblast characteristics and if they could induce EMT in primary culture. …


Yeast V-Atpase Regulation By Phosphofructokinase-1, Chun-Yuan Chan May 2015

Yeast V-Atpase Regulation By Phosphofructokinase-1, Chun-Yuan Chan

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

V-ATPase is a vacuolar (lysosome-like) ATPase-dependent proton pump necessary for maintaining pH homeostasis in the organelles of the endomembrane system. It also contributes to regulation of the cytosol pH and the extracellular pH. In specialized cells (renal intercalated cells, epididymis clear cells, and osteoclasts), V-ATPase proton transport supports urinary acidification, sperm maturation, and bone resorption. Genetic mutations of V-ATPase expressed in those tissue-specific cells cause distal renal tubular acidosis, infertility, and osteopetrosis. V-ATPases are composed of a peripheral domain (V1), which hydrolyzes ATP, and a membrane-bound domain (Vo), which transports proton. V-ATPase activity is tightly regulated in vivo by numbers …

Mechanisms Of Low Dose Arsenic Lymphoid Stem Cell Immunotoxicity And Potential Interactions With Dibenzo[Def, P]Chrysene (Dbc), Peace Chinyere Ezeh

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

In vivo assessment of the effects of inorganic arsenic, arsenite (As+3), on the bone marrow (BM) immune progenitor cells in mice showed that 300 parts per billion (ppb) As+3 given over 30 days in drinking water, produced a decrease in total BM cells recovered and suppressed the lymphoid (pre-B) but not the myeloid (GM) progenitor cells colony forming units (CFUs). 75 and 300 ppb As+3 also suppressed spleen T-dependent antibody responses. There was no shift in the general markers of early hematopoietic stem cells, CD34 and CD38, or the mesenchymal stem cells, CD105, in the BM. Splenic CD45+ B cells …


Mechanisms Of Enhanced Pulmonary Vasoconstriction And Calcium Sensitization Following Chronic Hypoxia, Charles Elbert Norton Iii May 2015

Mechanisms Of Enhanced Pulmonary Vasoconstriction And Calcium Sensitization Following Chronic Hypoxia, Charles Elbert Norton Iii

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

CH results in pressure dependent basal tone and enhanced depolarization- and endothelin-1 (ET-1)-induced vasoconstriction in the pulmonary circulation through Rho kinase (ROK)-dependent Ca2+ sensitization, responses that may contribute to the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in this setting. The free radical superoxide (O2-) has been implicated in these responses. Because NADPH oxidases (NOX) play a role in the development of PH, we hypothesized that membrane depolarization, increases in intraluminal pressure, and ET-1 signaling lead to pulmonary vascular smooth muscle (VSM) myofilament Ca2+ sensitization and augmented vasoconstrictor reactivity following CH through NOX-derived O2- production. As epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and …


The Role Of Ofd1 In The Pathogenesis Of Polycystic Kidney Disease, Stephanie Justine Jerman May 2015

The Role Of Ofd1 In The Pathogenesis Of Polycystic Kidney Disease, Stephanie Justine Jerman

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Oral-facial-digital syndrome type1 (OFD1) is an inherited disorder caused by expression of mutant OFD1 protein and results in abnormalities in facial and limb development and polycystic kidney disease that resembles Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). The similarities in renal disease pathogenesis in patients with OFD1 and ADPKD suggest that the proteins implicated in these diseases, OFD1 and the polycystins, respectively, function on a common pathway in the affected cell types. This calls for an investigation to uncover the mechanism by which OFD1 contributes to polycystic kidney disease pathogenesis, which remains unknown. This thesis details for the first time the …
