New Skin: Ellison, Jung, And The Unconscious, Dona Hoilman

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Marshall McLuhan contends that the electric media, television in particular, have given Americans the means of instant, total awareness both of themselves, especially of their unconscious or subliminal states, and of others, who may differ in skin color or points of view but with whom total social involvement is now not only desirable, but absolutely necessary in the ontological sense of the word. However, though television may have made us more conscious of our unconscious and more aware of the dynamic relationship between other individuals’ well-being and our own, the mutual feeding and forming and mutilating of one another’s psyches …

[Review Of] Joseph Hraba. American Ethnicity, Barbara Hiura

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Hraba uses the social science disciplines--i.e., sociology, history, and psychology--to set the scope of his research on American ethnicity. Hraba combines the theoretical premises of assimilation, pluralism, and ethnic conflict theory as methods for Viewing ethnic group convergence to and divergence from American society. "Each theory is only a partial explanation of societal modernization and ethnic evolution . . . and together they offer a fuller understanding of ethnic evolution in the modernization process" (p. 7). Societal modernization and ethnic evolution are keys for understanding the convergence (inclusion) and divergence (exclusion) process.

Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 7th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

This paper reviews some of the most salient aspects of E. M. Rogg's (1974) seminal work, The Assimilation of Cuban Exiles; The Role of Community and Class--a sociological study of the Cuban community in the town of West New York in northeastern New Jersey. Although taking issue with some of the author's theses, this paper elaborates on other findings of the book in question by means of more recent participant-observation field research in the same neighborhood. For example, the new data confirms Rogg's proposition that the organized ethnic minority helps to direct the process of acculturation, though slowly.

Pasta Or Paradigm: The Place Of Italian-American Women In Popular Film, Daniel Golden

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

The year is 1930, the film is Little Caesar, and Hollywood begins its long and often irresponsible tradition of portraying the Italian-American male as gangster, thug, sociopath. The gangster genre has traditionally focused on male activities--men in groups, their rites of passage into underworld manhood, and their perverted American dreams of success achieved through community extortion, syndicated corruption, and blood murder. But hidden in the story of Caesar Enrico Bandello, who has justifiably been called our "archetypal" film gangster, we also discover fragmentary, but important, early portrayals of the Italian woman in America.

Antiviral Activity Of Peritoneal Exudate Cells Of Mice Against Infection With Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2, Margaret Byrd Mcgeorge

Theses and Dissertations

Within the past decade, there has been increasing evidence which suggests that herpes simplex virus type two (HSV-2) is associated with cervical carcinoma. Because cancer of the cervix ranks as the second most common malignant disease of women, with 35 thousand new cases and 10,000 deaths per year, further investigation is warranted to determine if there is a causal relationship (Goldberg, 1976). Currently, most of the evidence which correlates HSV-2 with cancer of the cervix has been, for the most part, indirect: (i) there is an increased incidence of cervical anaplasia in women with cytologically detectable genital herpes infection, (ii) …

Oncogenic Transformation By Herpes Simplex Virus, James Christian Burns

Theses and Dissertations

Many lines of evidence exist associating herpes simplex virus (HSV) with the development of carcinoma. Data from human studies includes seroepidemiologic studies of carcinoma patients and the localization of viral markers in human cancers. Experimental studies include in vitro transformation of cultured cells and viral induced alterations of host DNA. Much of this evidence is anecdotal or associative in nature and does not prove a cause and effect. The purpose of this research was to investigate the oncogenic potential of HSV type 2 (HSV-2) in vivo and in vitro.

An in vivo mouse model for lib carcinogenesis was designed to …

Intravenous Infection Of Mice With Naegleria Fowleri, Richard G. May

Theses and Dissertations

Primary amebic meningoencephalitis is a fatal disease of man caused by the free-living ameboflagelate Naegleria fowleri. In general, the victims have been active, healthy, young adults with a recent history of swimming or other fresh water-related activity. Infection with N. fowleri is apparently by way of nasal introduction of amebae-containing water. After nasal installation, electron microscopic and histopathologic studies with experimental animals reveal that amebae reside in the olfactory mucosa and then invade and migrate through the submucosal structures into the nerve plexuses. Amebae pass through pores of the cribiform plate and into the subarachnoid space. Subsequently, amebae invade the …

Activities Of Nurse Practitioners As Identified By Medical Directors Of University Student Health Services, Candace Beaman Moore, Miriam Lee Gottlieb

Theses and Dissertations

University health services play a very important role in the general health, performance, and well-being of the students, the university itself, and the community.
