Psychosis In Films: An Analysis Of Stigma And The Portrayal In Feature Films, Yancy Aracena
Psychosis In Films: An Analysis Of Stigma And The Portrayal In Feature Films, Yancy Aracena
Dissertations and Theses
Films have a major impact on popular beliefs in American society. The images and ideas in movies are absorbed without difficulties into the popular imagination. This effect can leave long-lasting impressions. Movies can inspire people to raise awareness of various issues such as mental illness but can lead to inaccurate assumptions and stigma. In this thesis, I write about the media and its portrayal mental illness and especially how mental illness can be cast in a negative light with little positive effects. I viewed films with depictions of mental illness and developed four categories for analysis: 1) ―The thin line …
Immortalizing The Spirit Of The Colonizer, Maximiliano Lombardi
Immortalizing The Spirit Of The Colonizer, Maximiliano Lombardi
Dissertations and Theses
"European colonial expansion has institutionalized and simultaneously normalized, at the global level, the supremacy of a class, of an ethno-racial group, of a particular type of state organization, spirituality, an epistemology, a particular kind of institutionalization, a production of knowledge, language, pedagogy, and an economy oriented toward the accumulation of global capital. To understand these processes we cannot separate them from each other. In fact, even the word ""capitalism"" is misleading because it leads us to think of an economic system, when in reality it is a hegemonic system that transcends economic relations and includes race, sex, gender, spiritual, linguistic, …

Effects Of Arsenic And Uvb Radiation On Induction Of Cyclin D1 In Human Keratinocytes., Julian Gonzalez
Effects Of Arsenic And Uvb Radiation On Induction Of Cyclin D1 In Human Keratinocytes., Julian Gonzalez
Dissertations and Theses
Arsenic and Ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) are environmental toxins that have been linked to various epithelial cancers. Arsenic metabolism in humans leads to its collection in the skin, where it encounters and can act with known carcinogen UVB. Epidemiological evidence of the two toxins demonstrates their potential to affect signaling pathways, with various consequences. Here we employ an in vitro model system using Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes (NHEK) to identify the effect of arsenic and UVB on humans and whether they work synergistically. We find that although both cause induction of cyclin D1, culturing cells with both co-mutagens does not …

Multimedia Content-Based Indexing And Recognition In Digital Libraries, Steven Medina
Dissertations and Theses
"Recognition of digital media is more prevalent in today’s computer culture than ever before. The advent of low cost storage has created a seemingly infinite amount of metadata on the internet, as well as on local machines throughout the world. It is more important than ever to have the capability of quickly and accurately filtering this metadata to find a desired result. Data can be searched using various criteria. For example, text data is searched by analyzing the contents of the text itself. One might execute a search using a method as simple as looking for the ASCII file name, …
Women's Development In Guangdong; Unequal Opportunities And Limited Development In A Market Economy, Ying Hua Yue
Women's Development In Guangdong; Unequal Opportunities And Limited Development In A Market Economy, Ying Hua Yue
Dissertations and Theses
In the context of China’s three-decade market-oriented economic reform, in which economic development has long been prioritized, women’s development, as one of the social undertakings peripheral to economic development, has relatively lagged behind. This research is an attempt to unfold the current situation of women’s development within such context by studying the case of Guangdong -- the province as forerunner of China’s economic reform and opening-up -- drawing on current primary resources. First, this study reveals mixed results for women’s development in Guangdong: achievements have been made in education, employment and political participation in terms of “rates” and “numbers,” and …

Development Of A Human Lung Cancer Cytochrome C-Gfp Reporter Cell Line To Study Anti-Cancer Drug Responses In Apoptosis Pathways, Sidra A Piracha
Dissertations and Theses
"Currently chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the most popular methods for cancer treatments after surgery, but lack of specificity and are thus toxic to the healthy human cells. Studies have shown that targeted therapies have been linked to activation of apoptosis signal pathways (cascade of caspases) in cancer cells including intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. One of the major pathways leading to caspase activation involves the release of cytochrome-c from mitochondria. However, in some tumor cells this pathway is inactivated due to the mutation of mitochondria membrane stabilizing proteins (e.g. Bcl-2, Bcl-xL). Therefore, the overall objective of this proposal was to understand …
Effects Of Mild Heating On The Osteogenic Differentiation Of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells During Inflammation, Kristifor Sunderic
Effects Of Mild Heating On The Osteogenic Differentiation Of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells During Inflammation, Kristifor Sunderic
Dissertations and Theses
"Current surgical procedures to treat osteoarthritis have varying degrees of success, but carry inherent risks and a finite life expectancy. A more permanent solution is a treatment that regenerates biologically viable tissue that integrates with the patient and retains functionality. For maximal effectiveness, such a treatment should also repair bone loss known to occur in osteoarthritis and attenuate chronic inflammation that can obstruct healing. Mesenchymal stem cells have great potential to be used as part of a novel therapy for bone and cartilage regeneration. They are a highly regulated, self-renewing population of cells with potent mechanisms to avoid allogeneic rejection, …

Removal Of Antibiotics From Contaminated Waters Using Natural Zeolite, Booyoung Lee
Removal Of Antibiotics From Contaminated Waters Using Natural Zeolite, Booyoung Lee
Dissertations and Theses
The occurrence of residual antibiotics in the environment has been a worldwide issue, and there is a need to develop methods for antibiotics removal from contaminated water. In this thesis work, the sorption of four antibiotics, namely chlortetracycline (CTC), oxytetracycline (OTC), ofloxacin (OFL), and enrofloxacin (ENR), on natural zeolite was investigated. The impact of pH and natural organic matter (NOM) on the sorption process was examined, and the maximum sorption capacity was calculated using the Langmuir-Freundlich sorption model. The results showed that at a neutral pH the maximum sorption capacity for the antibiotics was up to 8 mg/g. The sorption …
Why Oil Production Has A Negative Impact On Socioeconomic Development In Chad?, Annicette Kessely
Why Oil Production Has A Negative Impact On Socioeconomic Development In Chad?, Annicette Kessely
Dissertations and Theses
"Oil production in Chad is considered one of the most important Sub-Saharan investments in Africa. In 2000, the World Bank agreed to finance oil production under the condition that oil revenues would be invested in socioeconomic development projects. Furthermore, the World Bank emphasized that oil revenues should be used in a transparent and accountable matter.1 Oil production started in Chad in 2003 and brought billions of dollars to the government. Nevertheless, the Chadian population continues to live in extreme poverty. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of oil production on socioeconomic development. It will demonstrate that …

Object Detection And Recognition For Visually Impaired People, Shuihua Wang
Dissertations and Theses
"Object detection plays a very important role in many applications such as image retrieval, surveillance, robot navigation, wayfinding, etc. In this thesis, we propose different approaches to detect indoor signage, stairs and pedestrians. In the first chapter we introduce some related work in this field. In the second chapter, we introduced a new method to detect the indoor signage to help blind people find their destination in unfamiliar environments. Our method first extracts the attended areas by using a saliency map. Then the signage is detected in the attended areas by using bipartite graph matching. The proposed method can handle …

The Post-Conflict Reconciliation Process; Truth Commissions, Tomoe Nakagawa
Dissertations and Theses
"Since the end of the Cold War, our world has seen an increase in intra-state conflict and the emergence of the notion of state accountability for the treatment of their citizens. Furthermore, sovereign states increasingly see that it is in their interest to apply the rule of law and human rights norms beyond their borders. While peace building efforts have been achieved through criminal prosecutions, truth commissions, reparation programs, and vetting, a truth commission, in particular, has been progressively used in the past decade as one aspect of transitional justice measures. This increase in use illustrates its popularity in handling …
Minority Rights In Europe; The Roma Population As A Case Study, Michael Brooks
Minority Rights In Europe; The Roma Population As A Case Study, Michael Brooks
Dissertations and Theses
"This thesis undertakes an in-depth analysis of the minority rights of Roma populations living within the European Union. The Roma people face economic, social and political discrimination that permeates both government institutions and society in general and has prevented this minority group from integrating into the workings of society. This issue is important because the Roma lack a positive identity both of themselves and from other groups, which deprives the state of an important source of productivity. This is due in part from their own actions based on chosen isolation to some degree, and also because some Roma have become …
Does Democratic Peace Theory Apply To Small Powers? A Case Study Of Turkey And Israel, Robert Lattin
Does Democratic Peace Theory Apply To Small Powers? A Case Study Of Turkey And Israel, Robert Lattin
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis hypothesizes that shared democratic values and institutional constraints, proposed as explanations by Democratic Peace Theory (DPT), should in theory prevent small powers from engaging in physical conflict. However, because these democracies are small and developing, these constraints may not influence outcomes in the same way as they do in larger and more developed powers. To test this hypothesis, a dyadic case study was conducted of the relationship between Turkey and Israel. Specific focus was given to two related events, both of which could have resulted in a physical conflict between the two countries: the May 2010 Flotilla incident …

Iran; A Nuclear Super Power? Understanding Nuclear Ambitions, Lindsey Sera
Dissertations and Theses
"Iran is a nation in flux, with a history of political strife and revolution. The everchanging political atmosphere in the nation has made Iran an unpredictable political actor. It is a nation coping with a new governing system, just a few decades out from a revolution from the reign of the Shah of Iran. The fall of reformism has left the nation politically isolated from the international community. Iran is a nation on the brink of nuclear weapon capabilities and with strained relations there is little comfort in sight for an amicable solution. The conservatives of today's Iran seek independence …
The Security & Development Nexus, Manizha Sayar
The Security & Development Nexus, Manizha Sayar
Dissertations and Theses
In the 21st century the need for conflict and post-conflict reconstruction efforts have increased since a number of conflicts in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe necessitated the building of newly-democratized states while aiming to achieve security and promoting development. The difficulties that arise when helping to reconstruct states that have failed or those approaching a “failed state” status is that they are neither stable nor have a secure environment which prevent the opportunity for economic development, despite reconstruction efforts. These are the most difficult of situations due to the interconnectedness and direct correlation of the two significant criterions for established …

Exploration Of The Endothermic And Exothermic Reactions Of Calcium Oxide And Magnesium Oxide And Design Of A Vessel For A Thermochemical Heat Storage System, Jorge Pulido
Dissertations and Theses
A high temperature Thermal Energy Storage (TES) system has been investigated for use in solar thermal power plants or in vehicles to preheat the engine and/or the cabin in cold weather. The idea is to store surplus thermal energy and then release it on demand to heat a working fluid. The stored heat can be used to generate electricity after sunset or to meet the peak loads. These would lead to an improvement in energy efficiency, reductions in energy imports from foreign sources and total energy-related emissions. The basic operating principle involved in the TES system is a thermochemical reaction …
