The press reception of Austrian works of Vergangenheitsbewältigung
No full textThis thesis explores the relationship between literature and historical memory in Austria through five case studies of literary press reception, examining the validity of common conceptions of Austrian Vergangenheitsbewättigung. The introduction provides an overview and explanation of the historico-political context of the thesis, considering cultural narratives on Vergangenheitsbewaltigung, the position of the Austrian press and its relationship with contemporary, socially critical literature. Chapters One and Two compare 'the press reception of Hans Lebert'ร Die Wolfshaut and Gerhard Fritsch's Fasching to the widely held view of a failed Vergangenheitsbewältigung in 1960ร Austria. Chapter Three considers the reception of Elfriede Jelinek's Die Ausgesperrten in the context of the Sozialpartnerschaft and the politics of memory associated with this period of forced political harmony. Chapter Four deals with the most extreme case, Thomas Bemhard's Heldenplatz, questioning the common assumption that the late 1980s marked a turning point in Austria's troubled relationship with its past. This is developed in Chapter Five, which examines the reception of Robert Schindel’s Gebürtig and considers the extent to which Austrian Vergangenheitsbewältigung can be viewed as a completed process. In the Conclusion the findings of the previous five chapters are brought together and compared with the grand cultural narrative on Austrian historical memory in a consideration of the validity of a linear conceptualisation of Vergangenheitsbewältigung
Die Toten haben Hunger
No full textDie vorliegende Diplomarbeit untersucht, auf welche Art und Weise sich der österreichische Autor Hans Lebert mit den Endphaseverbrechen des Zweiten Weltkrieges im Roman "Die Wolfshaut" (1960 erstmals erschienen) auseinandersetzt. Lebert selbst bezeichnete sein Werk als „religiösen Roman, verborgen hinter einer Gespenstergeschichte, die sich wieder hinter einer bäuerlichen Kriminalgeschichte verbirgt“. Ausgehend von dieser Aussage Leberts liegt ein zentraler Fokus in der Romananalyse darauf, welche Art von Story durch die Verwendung verschiedener Genres entsteht, und wie Hans Lebert damit die Endphaseverbrechen des Zweiten Weltkrieges thematisiert.
Nach einer Darstellung des historischen Hintergrunds werden verschiedene Diskurse im Hinblick auf die Erzählbarkeit von Geschichte und Verbrechen dargelegt. Anschließend werden die von Lebert genannten literarischen Gattungen charakterisiert und in Analyseraster zusammengefasst, welche als Basis der Romananalyse dienen.The present thesis examines how the Austrian author Hans Lebert addresses the “Endphaseverbrechen“ of World War II in the novel "Die Wolfshaut" (first published 1960). Lebert himself described his creation as „religious novel, hidden behind a ghost story that itself is concealed behind a countrified mystery story”. Starting from this statement, close attention of the novel’s analysis is paid on identifying the kind of story produced through the combined use of several genres, and how Hans Lebert thus discusses the “Endphaseverbrechen” of World War II.
After a presentation of the historical background, different discourses with regard to narrative history and crime are demonstrated. Subsequently, the literary genres mentioned by Lebert are characterized and summarized in analysis frameworks that serve as basis for the novel analysis
Parental burnout : studies of associated factors, role of the spouse, testing the transactional model and identifying profiles of at-risk mothers
No full textContexte et objectifs : Dérivée du contexte professionnel, la notion de burnout parental a connu un essor récent dans la littérature scientifique (article 1). Ayant une prévalence élevée dans les pays occidentaux et des conséquences sur la vie familiale et les enfants, les objectifs de ce travail sont : 1) d'explorer les facteurs de vulnérabilité et de protection des mères face au burnout parental (article 2) ; 2) d'étudier le rôle spécifique du conjoint (article 3) ; 3) de tester l'application du modèle transactionnel au burnout parental (article 4) ; 4) d'établir des profils de mères à risque (article 5) ; 5) d'investiguer le vécu subjectif de la maternité des mères en burnout parental (article en cours de réalisation). Méthode : Deux études successives transversales ont été menées auprès de mères francophones pour répondre à ces objectifs. L'étude A (N=315 mères) comprend un volet quantitatif visant à évaluer par auto-questionnaires le burnout parental, le stress perçu, le soutien social, les stratégies de coping, l'anxiété et la dépression. L'étude B (N=1306 mères) comprend à la fois un volet quantitatif et un volet qualitatif. Le volet quantitatif est composé d'auto-questionnaires évaluant les mêmes variables que l'étude B en ajoutant le style d'attachement, le fardeau, la dépression post-natale et l'amour conjugal. Pour le volet qualitatif, des mères (N=18) ont répondu à un entretien semi-directif. Résultats : Les résultats soulignent que les mères ayant des symptômes d'anxiété et de dépression, utilisant des stratégies de coping centrées sur l'émotion et la recherche de soutien sont les mères les plus en situation de burnout parental. De plus, les résultats révèlent que les mères ayant un conjoint soutenant ont une meilleure santé mentale que les mères ayant un conjoint moins soutenant ou les mères célibataires. L'adaptation du modèle transactionnel au burnout parental est satisfaisante et offre une base dans l'élaboration d'un modèle de compréhension du burnout parental. Enfin, il apparait que les mères à risque sont plus jeunes, moins satisfaites de leur travail et de leur logement, ont une relation conjugale moins épanouissante et plus de symptômes d'anxiété et de dépression. Conclusion : Le burnout parental apparait être un syndrome psychologique singulier. La mise en exergue des facteurs associés, l'adaptation du modèle transactionnel et notamment l'identification de profils de mères à risques permettent d'envisager des retombées cliniques, que ce soit au niveau préventif ou thérapeutique. En outre, ces travaux ont ouvert de nombreuses perspectives de recherche concernant le concept de burnout parental.Context and objectives: Derived from the professional field, the notion of parental burnout has gained a recent growth in the scientific literature (article 1). Given the high prevalence of parental burnout in Western countries and its consequences on family life and children, the objectives of this work are: 1) to explore the factors of vulnerability and protection of mothers facing parental burnout (article 2); 2) to study the specific role of the spouse (article 3,); 3) to test the applicability of the transactional model to parental burnout (article 4); 4) to establish profiles of mothers at risk (article 5); 5) to investigate the subjective experience of motherhood of mothers with parental burnout (article in progress). Method: Two successive cross-sectional studies were conducted with French-speaking mothers to achieve these objectives. Study A (N=315 mothers) had a quantitative design aimed at assessing parental burnout, perceived stress, social support, coping strategies, anxiety and depression through self-questionnaires. Study B (N=1306 mothers) included both quantitative and qualitative data collection. The quantitative study is composed of self-report questionnaires assessing the same variables as Study B with the addition of attachment style, burden, postpartum depression and marital love. For the qualitative component, mothers (N=18) participated in a semi-structured interview. Results: The results highlight that mothers with symptoms of anxiety and depression, using emotionally focused coping strategies and seeking support, are the mothers with the highest manifestations of parental burnout. In addition, the results show that mothers with supportive spouses have better mental health than mothers with less supportive spouses or single mothers. The adaptation of the transactional model to parental burnout is satisfactory and provides a basis for developing a model for understanding parental burnout. Finally, it appears that at-risk mothers are younger, less satisfied with their work and housing, have a less fulfilling marital relationship and more symptoms of anxiety and depression. Conclusion: Parental burnout appears to be a singular psychological syndrome. The study of associated factors, the adaptation of the transactional model and, in particular, the identification of profiles of mothers at-risk allow us to draw clinical implications, on both at the preventive and therapeutic level. In addition, this work has opened up numerous research perspectives concerning the concept of parental burnout
Neumania Lebert 1879, spp.
No full text<i>Neumania</i> spp. <p> <b>Report associated with sponges:</b> Vidrine (1996) mentioned <i>Neumania</i> sp. under possible ‘sponge-mite’ species in North America.</p> <p> In a personal communication to the author (Tapas Chatterjee) Malcolm F. Vidrine states: “As recorded in my blog and for your information, I reared <i>Neumania</i> spp. from sponges in my lab in the late 1970s. These have not been reported in the literature, but I do have some pictures at my website www.unionicola.wordpress.com at the entry on <i>Neumania</i>. You are welcome to report these mites.” He also writes “You have my permission to use the pictures of <i>Neumania</i> spp. that are posted on my webpage” and sent some photos of <i>Neumania</i> spp. which were collected on sponges to use in this article (Figs. 1 & 2).</p> <p> Web page of M. F. Vidrine https://unionicola.wordpress.com/ 2017/08/02 /neumania-sp-the-closest-relatives-of-theunionicola/ states that in the 1970’s sponges were collected in the Atchafalaya Basin and a fish culture ponds at the USL farm, from Lafayette, Louisiana, U.S.A. These were transported to the lab and set in aerated overnight. It was found later that some mites leaving the sponges and swimming in the water column. These collections contained free-swimming species of <i>Unionicola</i>, <i>including</i> <i>Unionicola</i> (<i>Hexatax</i>) <i>laurentiana</i>, <i>Unionicola</i> (<i>Hexatax</i>) <i>gracilipalpis</i>, <i>Unionicola (Lundbladatax) furcula,</i> <i>Unionicola</i> (<i>Wilsonatax</i>) <i>poirrieri</i>, and other species, including <i>Neumania</i> spp. Illustrations (pictures) of male(s), female and a deutonymph of <i>Neumania</i> spp. are published here (Figs. 1 & 2)—these are copied from Vidrine’s website and photos sent to author (TC) by Malcolm F. Vidrine.</p> <p> There appear to be at least 2 species: one with leg segment IV-leg-6 curved (Fig. 1A) and one with the segment straight (Fig. 1B). Smit (2020) would appear to place these mites into 2 distinctive subgenera, <i>Neumania s. s.</i> and possibly <i>Alloneumania</i> Lundblad, 1949, but this requires further study.</p> <p> General description of <i>Neumania</i> spp. (Figs. 1A–F; 2 A–G): Specimens of both sexes appear soft-bodied with distinctive coxal plates but lacking any other obvious plates. Both males and females have numerous acetabula in the genital fields; the females appear to have only a single plate on either side of the gonopore. Pedipalps of both sexes appear similar and not remarkably modified from those of typical members of the subgenus <i>Neumania</i>. Walking legs have a moderate number of blunt, relatively short setae; the legs terminate with moderatelylarge, simple, smoothly-curved, tarsal claws. The basic morphological characters of these specimens rather closely match the descriptions and illustrations of Cook (1974) and Smit (2020) for members of the subgenus <i>Neumania</i>. The deutonymph resembles the adult mites taken in these same collections.</p>Published as part of <i>Chatterjee, Tapas, 2021, A checklist of halacarid and hydrachnid mites (Acari, Halacaridae & Hydrachnidia) associated with sponges (Porifera), pp. 101-129 in Zootaxa 5072 (2)</i> on page 117, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5072.2.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5733656">http://zenodo.org/record/5733656</a>

Data for Gradient boosted decision trees reveal nuances of auditory discrimination behavior
No full textRaw data for the article: Gradient boosted decision trees reveal nuances of auditory discrimination behaviour (PLOS Computational Biology).This data repository contains the csv files after extraction of the raw MATLAB metadata files into pandas (Python) dataframes (helper function author: Jules Lebert). The csv files can easily be loaded back into dataframe objects using pandas before the subsampling steps (as documented in the paper, we used subsampling to ensure the number of F0-roved and control F0 trials were relatively equal) are completed.Link to GitHub repository to run the models on this data: https://github.com/carlacodes/boostmodelsA full description of each of the variables within the dataframe can be found in the data_description_instructions_for_datasets_plos_bio.pdf.Abstract: Animal psychophysics can generate rich behavioral datasets, often comprised of many 1000s of trials for an individual subject. Gradient-boosted models are a promising machine learning approach for analyzing such data, partly due to the tools that allow users to gain insight into how the model makes predictions. We trained ferrets to report a target word’s presence, timing, and lateralization within a stream of consecutively presented non-target words. To assess the animals’ ability to generalize across pitch, we manipulated the fundamental frequency (F0) of the speech stimuli across trials, and to assess the contribution of pitch to streaming, we roved the F0 from word token-to-token. We then implemented gradient-boosted regression and decision trees on the trial outcome and reaction time data to understand the behavioral factors behind the ferrets’ decision-making. We visualized model contributions by implementing SHAPs feature importance and partial dependency plots. While ferrets could accurately perform the task across all pitch-shifted conditions, our models reveal subtle effects of shifting F0 on performance, with within-trial pitch shifting elevating false alarms and extending reaction times. Our models identified a subset of non-target words that animals commonly false alarmed to. Follow-up analysis demonstrated that the spectrotemporal similarity of target and non-target words rather than similarity in duration or amplitude waveform was the strongest predictor of the likelihood of false alarming. Finally, we compared the results with those obtained with traditional mixed effects models, revealing equivalent or better performance for the gradient-boosted models over these approaches.</p
Maternal Burnout Syndrome: Contextual and Psychological Associated Factors
No full textBackground: Becoming a parent is one of the most significant experiences in a woman’s life. Including substantial and long-lasting mental, social, and physical charge, the parenting experience may also be a potentially stressful and overwhelming task. Since the eighties, the notion of parental burnout syndrome has gained increasing attention, but its contextual and psychological factors need to be better identified.Aims: To investigate a large array of contextual and psychological factors associated with maternal burnout syndrome in a French community-based population in order to contribute to better operationalize the notion of parental burnout and to explore its determinants.Method: A total of 304 French-speaking mothers (mean age = 34.8 years, SD = 6.72) completed a set of questionnaires including a sociodemographic form (in order to gather general information about the mothers, their spouses, and children living at home). The Perceived Stress Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory adapted to parents (MBI-parental), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Parental Stress Index-Short Form and the Ways of Coping Checklist were used in this study.Results: Multivariate linear regression analyses revealed that scores on the MBI-parental version were strongly and positively associated with depressive and anxiety symptoms, as well as with perceived stress related to parenthood and parenting stress levels. Moreover, using the task-oriented coping style in parenthood was strongly and positively associated with personal accomplishment. Conversely, some sociodemographic characteristics were found to be negatively associated with maternal burnout: being employed, working full time and being a mother living without a coparent.Conclusion: The construct of maternal burnout syndrome seems to be linked to a conjunction of psychological and contextual factors associated with maternal exhaustion. The implication of the results for prevention and intervention strategies are discussed
Jam Sessions as Rites of Passage: An Ethnography of Jazz Jams in Phoenix, AZ
No full textabstract: This thesis examines the jazz jam session’s function in the constitution of jazz scenes as
well as the identities of the musicians who participate in them. By employing ritual and
performance studies theories of liminality, I demonstrate ways in which jazz musicians,
jam sessions, and other social structures are mobilized and transformed during their
social and musical interactions. I interview three prominent members of the jazz scene in
the greater Phoenix area, and incorporate my experience as a professional jazz musician
in the same scene, to conduct a contextually and socially embedded analysis in order to
draw broader conclusions about jam sessions in general. In this analysis I refer to other
ethnomusicologists who research improvisation, jazz in ritual context, and interactions,
such as Ingrid Monson, Samuel Floyd, Travis Jackson, and Paul Berliner, as well as ideas
proposed by phenomenologically adjacent thinkers such as Gilles Deleuze, Martin
Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Karen Barad.
This thesis attempts to contribute to current jam session research in fields such as
ethnomusicology and jazz studies by offering a perspective on jam sessions based on
phenomenology and process philosophy, concluding that the jam session is an essential
mechanism in the ongoing social and musical developments of jazz musicians and their
scene. I also attempt to continue and develop the discourse surrounding theories of
liminality in performance and ritual studies by underscoring the web of relations in social
structures that are brought into contact with one another during the liminal performances
of their acting agents.Dissertation/ThesisMasters Thesis Music 201
