Do the retinal abnormalities in X-linked juvenile retinoschisis include impaired phototransduction?
No full text: X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), a hereditary retinal disorder primarily affecting males, is characterized by the formation of cystic spaces between the outer plexiform layer and outer nuclear layer of the retina. Mutations in the RS1 gene, which encodes the extracellular binding protein retinoschisin, are responsible for XLRS pathogenesis. While the role of retinoschisin in maintaining retinal integrity is well established, there is growing evidence suggesting compromised photoreceptor function in XLRS. To investigate the molecular pathways affected by RS1 deficiency, particularly in phototransduction, we performed electroretinographic (ERG) and proteomic analyses on retinae from Rs1 knockout mice, a model of human XLRS. The Rs1 knockout mice had reduced ERG a-wave amplitudes. Correspondingly, differential expression analysis revealed downregulation of proteins crucial for phototransduction, with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) highlighting "phototransduction" as the most significantly downregulated biological theme. Compensatory mechanisms were also observed in the IPA, including upregulation of synaptic remodeling, inflammation, cell adhesion, and G-protein signaling. These findings strongly implicate an underrecognized role of photoreceptor dysfunction in XLRS pathology. We speculate that entrapment of mutant retinoschisin protein within photoreceptor inner segments as well as disrupted reciprocal regulation between L-type voltage-gated calcium channels and retinoschisin contribute to the dysfunction in photoreceptors
A program evaluation of the Fulton County discharge planning program, 2005
No full textThis evaluation examines the effectiveness of the Fulton County Discharge Planning Program in expediting the mentally ill defendant through the criminal justice system. The sample consists of 30 males who have been diagnosed as mentally ill and consented to jail diversion. Participants were randomly selected from a list provided from the discharge planner without demographic restrictions. Data for this study was collected using a 49-item questionnaire. The Attitude Measure Scale II (AMSII) questionnaire consists of 49 questions inquiring about the participants' beliefs about professionals, knowledge about the Fulton County Discharge Planning Program and community mental health services. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the Fulton County Discharge Planning Program is effective in expediting the mentally ill defendant through the criminal justice system

'The cracked mirror': Anne Sexton's poetics of self-representation
No full textThis thesis re-evaluates the work of the poet Anne Sexton (1928-1974), concentrating, in particular, on the indeterminacies, contradictions and aporia which it finds to be characteristic of her ostensibly frank and self-revelatory writing. The study is based on a close textual
analysis of Sexton's writing, is informed by oststructuralist theories, and is sustained by an
examination and discussion of archive collections of her previously unpublished papers. In seeking an understanding of Sexton's poetics, the thesis identifies and interrogates the strategies of denial and obfuscation apparent in her own explication of her work - principally, by scrutiny of the unpublished, and previously unresearched, drafts of a series of lectures
which she delivered in 1972. Chapters One and Two consider the origins of `confessional' or - Sexton's preferred term - 'personal' poetry and reassess her place within contemporary poetry. They suggest that
Sexton's writing is engaged in a process of negotiation and contestation, both with the boundaries and expectations of confessionalism, and with the strictures of T. S. Eliot's theory of `impersonality'. In support of these arguments, Chapter Two offer a reading of Sexton's
little-known poem, `Hurry Up Please It's Time', alongside its intertext, Eliot's The Waste Land. Chapter Three reassesses received views of the supposedly beneficial interrelationship between confessional speaker and reader. It examines Sexton's appropriation of dramatic
masks and personae and her use of metaphors of striptease and prostitution, and suggests that these are employed simultaneously to appease and to repel an intrusive audience. Similarly, Chapters Four and Five trace Sexton's problematisation of two previously-accepted tenets of confessional poetry: its status as autobiography and its truthfulness, drawing attention to the techniques employed in order to give the impression of both. Chapter Six considers Sexton's
problematic engagement with a language which is not malleable, transparent, and referential but, rather, is experienced as uncooperative and occlusive. Finally, the thesis recuperates Sexton from the common charge of narcissism, arguing that it is the writing, rather than the poet, which is self-reflexive and self-conscious. In this respect, it concludes that her work - perhaps unexpectedly - anticipates many of the tendencies of postmodernist writing
The Chow Motives of Relative Fulton-Macpherson Space
No full textSuppose that is a complex nonsingular projective variety and is a smooth divisor. Compactifications of configuration spaces of distinct and non-distinct points in away from were constructed by the author and B. Kim in "A generalization of Fulton-MacPherson configuration spaces" by using the method of wonderful compactification. In this paper, we give explicit presentations of Chow motives and Chow groups of these configuration spaces

“A woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised”: an ethical-critical analysis of theological rogues in Mark Twain’s personal recollections of Joan of Arc and L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 117-120).This thesis uses ethical criticism to examine the transformative nature of the interaction between authors, characters, and readers, focusing on Mark Twain’s Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc and L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables series. By presenting socially transgressive figures in a sympathetic manner, Twain and Montgomery encourage a reevaluation of cultural and religious standards. The authors accomplish their goals by utilizing the form of Sunday school books while drastically altering the content, challenging readers’ expectations and urging ethical reform within the texts, as well as within the various historical audiences.by Natalie Ann Terry.M.A
Art and artistry in Katherine Anne Porter : iconographic figures and festive patterns.
No full textExploring how art influences the works of Katherine Anne Porter (1890-1980), this study examines the way Porter’s fictional narrative patterns adapt and arrange images from paintings, folk art, and prints. In her structural response to artistic issues prevalent during the Modernist Period, Porter runs her literary versions of iconographic figures through festive patterns to depict the changes individuals experience when significant cultural shifts envelop them. Besides employing grotesque images to portray suffering, Porter evokes the life-death-rebirth cycle of festive patterns, also called folk carnival humor by Mikhail Bakhtin, to convey hope for people and the continuation of their culture during times of turmoil. Medieval, renaissance, and modernist artwork provides Porter with images and structural approaches. Reflecting the traits of typology and the subjects of medieval iconography, Porter’s characters function by fulfilling past figures such as Eve and by anticipating literary figures in the future. As part of the development of her literary figures in Noon Wine, Porter blends influences from the Agrarians with her appreciation of renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel to emphasize the relationship between her characters and the landscape. Porter’s associations with modernist Mexican artists and her knowledge of the successors to Hans Holbein’s Dance of Death shape her interpretation of the arts and her portrayal of death in stories such as “María Concepción.” Through Mexican anthropologist Manuel Gamio, Porter develops an understanding of Franz Boas’s theories, which contribute to her sense of folk culture, foster within her a sense of the chronological connectedness of time, and lead her to treat artwork as archeological artifacts. These multi-layered dimensions of Porter’s images also reflect her interest in the allusive modernist paintings of Henri Matisse and the literary theory of T.S. Eliot. Her engagement with modernist debates over the merits of the city appears in “The Cracked Looking-Glass,” a story positing Porter’s agrarian challenge to James Joyce’s urban-centered approach to art and writing.Ph.D
