Damsel In Distress Or Princess In Power? Traditional Masculinity And Femininity In Young Adult Novelizations Of Cinderella And The Effects On Agency, Rylee Carling

Theses and Dissertations

Retellings of classic fairy tales have become increasingly popular in the past decade, but little research has been done on the novelizations written for a young adult (YA) audience. Critical multicultural analysis determining the effect of race, gender, disability, and more has been completed for both original fairy tale retellings and fairy tale retellings for children, but scholars have neglected popular YA novelizations. This study aims to determine how traditional masculinity and femininity affect agency in both male and female characters in YA novelizations of Cinderella. To examine the role of traditional masculinity and femininity in young adult novelizations of …

Intersectionality Shapes Adaptation To Social-Ecological Change, Anna Erwin, Zhao Ma, Ruxandra Popovici, Emma Patricia Salas O'Brien, Jonathan Bauchet, Nelly Ramirez Calderón, Glenn Roberto Arce Larrea

Department of Agricultural Economics Faculty Publications

People from across the Caylloma Province of Peru are adapting to social-ecological changes, such as decreasing water supplies and rapidly retreating glaciers, in different and unequal ways. In this study, we show how this inequality is intersectional; identities like gender and age compound and interact with systems of power to shape how people adapt to these changes at the individual, household, and district scales. We draw from 130 semi-structured interviews with agricultural actors and participant observations in district and regional meetings across four districts, to demonstrate how intersectionality shapes adaptation to social-ecological change. Our results show (1) what social-ecological changes …

Plasma Inorganic Pyrophosphate Deficiency Links Multiparity To Cardiovascular Disease Risk., Almudena Veiga-Lopez, Visalakshi Sethuraman, Nastassia Navasiolava, Barbara Makela, Isoken Olomu, Robert Long, Koen Van De Wetering, Ludovic Martin, Tamas Aranyi, Flóra Szeri

Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology Faculty Papers

Epidemiological studies indicate that elevated alkaline phosphatase activity is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk. Other epidemiological data demonstrate that mothers giving multiple childbirths (multipara) are also at increased risk of developing late-onset cardiovascular disease. We hypothesized that these two associations stem from a common cause, the insufficient plasma level of the ectopic mineralization inhibitor inorganic pyrophosphate, which is a substrate of alkaline phosphatase. As alkaline phosphatase activity is elevated in pregnancy, we hypothesized that pyrophosphate concentrations decrease gestationally, potentially leading to increased maternal vascular calcification and cardiovascular disease risk in multipara. We investigated plasma pyrophosphate kinetics pre- and postpartum …

Finding A Wells Way: Using Sustainability Metrics To Determine Best Practices For Relocating Wells Barns, Sara P. Hall

Theses

Serving as a visual representation of a different time and place, barns and agricultural architecture across America have both historical and cultural values that are imitable. Evoking a strong sense of nostalgia and simplicity, barns are an often-overlooked architectural typology worth preserving. Native to Western New York, historical Wells style barns have served as an iconic agricultural symbol since the late 1800s. As the means and methods of agriculture change with technological development, more and more of these exemplary structures are becoming neglected and obsolete. Typically located in remote, rural areas, this thesis looks to determine alternate, sustainable options in …

BACKGROUND: Molecular subtype in invasive breast cancer guides systemic therapy. It is unknown whether molecular subtype should also be considered to tailor surgical therapy. The present investigation was designed to evaluate whether breast cancer subtype impacted surgical margins in patients with invasive breast cancer stage I through III undergoing breast-conserving therapy.

METHODS: Data from 2 randomized trials evaluating cavity shave margins (CSM) on margin status in patients undergoing partial mastectomy (PM) were used for this analysis. Patients were included if invasive carcinoma was present in the PM specimen and data for all 3 receptors (ER, PR, and HER2) were known. …

This disclosure describes techniques to measure authority content gap (ACG), which represents the (lack of) authoritativeness in online content related to individual topics. The ACG metric is defined for various verticals, e.g., health, government services, legal, etc., and can be specific to region, country, language, or time period. The ACG is refreshed periodically, and it can be used in combination with other metrics relating to a content publisher. The ACG is a useful measure in various contexts, e.g., when an unpopular or obscure topic achieves sudden popularity, or when a new topic emerges. The ACG for a topic can indicate …

Emerging Internet Technologies And The Regulation Of User Privacy, Phil Nyoni, Mthulisi Velempini, Nehemiah Mavetera

The African Journal of Information Systems

Modern Internet-based technologies pose a threat to privacy, as they possess multiple sensors or features that collect data about users. There is a need to determine the privacy risks that affect users in South Africa as there are a few studies on the subject. A qualitative study was done which involved interviewing seven experts and a survey consisting of 101 respondents. The results show that regulators view emerging technologies as potentially risky and are motivated by public interest to develop protective laws. It therefore is necessary that regulators develop robust laws to help prevent privacy violations. Furthermore, this paper proposes …

Health Benefits Attributed To 17Α-Estradiol, A Lifespan-Extending Compound, Are Mediated Through Estrogen Receptor Α., Shivani N Mann, Niran Hadad, Molly Nelson Holte, Alicia R Rothman, Roshini Sathiaseelan, Samim Ali Mondal, Martin-Paul Agbaga, Archana Unnikrishnan, Malayannan Subramaniam, John Hawse, Derek M Huffman, Willard M Freeman, Michael B Stout

Faculty Research 2020

Metabolic dysfunction underlies several chronic diseases, many of which are exacerbated by obesity. Dietary interventions can reverse metabolic declines and slow aging, although compliance issues remain paramount. 17α-estradiol treatment improves metabolic parameters and slows aging in male mice. The mechanisms by which 17α-estradiol elicits these benefits remain unresolved. Herein, we show that 17α-estradiol elicits similar genomic binding and transcriptional activation through estrogen receptor α (ERα) to that of 17β-estradiol. In addition, we show that the ablation of ERα completely attenuates the beneficial metabolic effects of 17α-E2 in male mice. Our findings suggest that 17α-E2 may act through the liver and …

Functional Redundancy Of Type I And Type Ii Receptors In The Regulation Of Skeletal Muscle Growth By Myostatin And Activin A., Se-Jin Lee, Adam Lehar, Yewei Liu, Chi Hai Ly, Quynh-Mai Pham, Michael Michaud, Renata Rydzik, Daniel W Youngstrom, Michael M Shen, Vesa Kaartinen, Emily L Germain-Lee, Thomas A Rando

Faculty Research 2020

Myostatin (MSTN) is a transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family member that normally acts to limit muscle growth. The function of MSTN is partially redundant with that of another TGF-β family member, activin A. MSTN and activin A are capable of signaling through a complex of type II and type I receptors. Here, we investigated the roles of two type II receptors (ACVR2 and ACVR2B) and two type I receptors (ALK4 and ALK5) in the regulation of muscle mass by these ligands by genetically targeting these receptors either alone or in combination specifically in myofibers in mice. We show that targeting …
