Novel Insights Into the Protective Role of Hemoglobin S and C Against Plasmodium falciparum Parasitemia.
No full textAlthough hemoglobin S (HbS) and hemoglobin C (HbC) are well known to protect against severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria, conclusive evidence on their role against infection has not yet been obtained. Here we show, in 2 populations from Burkina Faso (2007-2008), that HbS is associated with a 70% reduction of harboring P. falciparum parasitemia at the heterozygous state (odds ratio [OR] for AS vs AA, 0.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], .11-.66; P = .004). There is no evidence of protection for HbC in the heterozygous state (OR for AC vs AA, 1.49; 95% CI, .69-3.21; P = .31), whereas protection even higher than that observed with AS is observed in the homozygous and double heterozygous states (OR for CC + SC vs AA, 0.04; 95% CI, .01-.29; P = .002). The abnormal display of parasite-adhesive molecules on the surface of HbS and HbC infected erythrocytes, disrupting the pathogenic process of sequestration, might displace the parasite from the deep to the peripheral circulation, promoting its elimination at the spleen level
William Bill Hooks, Interviewed by Edith Gordon
No full textWilliam Hooks, a publisher and author of children\u27s books, is interviewed here in 1975 by Edith Lisolette Gordon who was conducting oral histories that would inform her doctoral dissertation on the history of progressive education at Bank Street. Hooks, who grew up in North Carolina, joined the Bank Street Research Division in 1958, simultaneously staging opera workshops at Brooklyn College and doing freelance dancing and writing. He discusses moving to the Bank Street Publications Division in the early 1960s and working on the Early Childhood Discovery Materials with Irma Black, the process of publishing an ethnically integrated series and creating audiovisual materials for children, and more.

No full textThe Memory of Architecture in Edith Wharton’s Travel Writings
No full textEdith Wharton was not only the author of novels and short stories but also of drama, poetry, autobiography, interior decoration, and travel writing. This study focuses on Wharton’s symbolic representations of architecture in her travel writings. It shows how a network of allusions to travel writing and art history books influenced Wharton’s representations of architectural and natural spaces. The book demonstrates Wharton’s complex relationship to works of art historians (John Ruskin, Émile Mâle, Arthur C. Porter) and travel authors (Wolfgang Goethe, Henry Adams, Henry James) in the trajectory of her travel writing. Kovács surveys how the acknowledgment of Wharton’s sources sheds light both on the author’s model of aesthetic understanding and scenic architectural descriptions, and how the shock of the Great War changed Wharton’s travel destinations but not her symbolic view of architecture as a mediator of things past. Wharton’s symbolic representations of architecture provide a new key to her travel writings

Proving the Dead: Doubt and Skepticism in the Late Medieval Lives of Saints Æthelthryth and Edith
No full textabstract: Anglo-Saxon women wielded a remarkable amount of power in the early English church. They founded some of the country’s most influential institutions, and modern Christians continue to venerate many of them as saints. Their path to canonization, however, was informal—especially compared to men and women who were canonized after Pope Gregory IX’s decree in 1234 that reserved those powers for the pope. Many of Anglo-Saxon England’s most popular saints exhibited behaviors that, had they been born later, would have disqualified them from canonization. This project examines how the problematic lives of St. Æthelthryth of Ely and St. Edith of Wilton were simultaneously doubted and adopted by post-Norman Christians. Specifically, it considers the flawed ways that the saints, petitioners, and their communities were simultaneously doubted and legitimized by late-medieval hagiographers.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation English 201
Person and dignity in Edith Stein’s writings : Investigated in comparison to the writings of the doctors of the church and the magisterial documents of the catholic church
No full textEdith Stein is widely known as a historical figure, a victim of the Holocaust and a saint, but still unrecognised as a philosopher. It was philosophy, however, that constituted the core of her life. Today her complete writings are available to scholars and therefore her thinking can be properly investigated and evaluated. Who is a human person and what is his or her dignity according to Edith Stein are the two leading questions investigated in this volume. The answer is presented based on the complete writings of the 20th-c. phenomenologist and, moreover, compared to the traditional christian understanding of human dignity present in the writings of the church fathers and the doctors of the church as well as magisterial documents of the catholic church. In the final parts of the book, the author shows how Stein's ideas are relevant today, in particular to the ongoing doctrinal and legal debates over the concept of human dignity
