Bone health impairment in childhood cancer : from preclinical studies to clinical insights
No full textSurvival outcomes in childhood cancer have significantly improved over recent decades. While this is a remarkable achievement, it has also led to a growing number of survivors who face a great risk of long-term morbidities. Among the various contributing factors, therapeutic interventions frequently cause skeletal morbidities, mediated through systemic endocrine disruptions or direct cellular impact. These deleterious effects manifest as longitudinal bone growth suppression, lower bone mineral density and susceptibility to fractures. The prevalence of these burdensome conditions underscores the need for heightened awareness and identification of novel therapeutic approaches to safeguard skeletal health in childhood cancer.This thesis aims to investigate the effects of the novel inhibitor venetoclax on bone tissue, explore potential bone growth-rescuing strategies in preclinical models and finally, provide a comprehensive summary of the available evidence on bone mineral density in survivors of childhood cancer.In paper I, we demonstrated that venetoclax, a BCL-2 inhibitor effective in various cancer types, suppressed longitudinal bone growth in different experimental models. In paper II, we expanded our studies to a neuroblastoma cancer model where venetoclax impaired longitudinal bone growth. We also showed that co-treatment with the mitochondrial peptide humanin protected fetal rat metatarsal bones cultured ex vivo against venetoclax-induced bone growth retardation. In paper III, we explored the potential for lithium chloride to prevent dexamethasone-induced bone growth suppression. We also performed RNA sequencing to investigate potential genes and pathways that contribute to the observed effects. In paper IV, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies that reported BMD data in childhood cancer survivors.Overall, the present thesis evolves from an initial focus on preclinical investigations into the side effects of a novel antineoplastic drug and the exploration of potential growth-rescuing therapies, advancing toward a clinical outlook, aiming to provide a systematic overview of BMD status in survivors of childhood cancer.List of scientific papersI.

A Continuing Conversation on Teaching: An Evaluation of a Decade-Long Lilly Teaching Fellows Program 1986-1996
No full textThis study assesses what difference the Lilly Teaching Fellows Program at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst has made in its first ten years, both to the fellows who have participated in it and to the University community. Based on a survey of the fellows, the study concludes that the program has had significant positive effects on teaching skills and attitudes, collegiality, research and service. The study also assesses the seven major components of the Lilly Program and suggests ways in which they might be improved The author then recommends increased institutional support for teaching to decrease the tensions between the programs\u27 emphasis on teaching and institutional emphasis on research
You\u27ve Come A Long Way, Baby: Women, Politics, and Popular Culture
No full textNo matter what brand of feminism one may subscribe to, one thing is indisputable: the role of women in society during the past several decades has changed dramatically, and continues to change in a variety of ways. In You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby, Lilly J. Goren and an impressive group of contributors explore the remarkable advancement achieved by American women in a historically patriarchal social and political landscape, while examining where women stand today and contemplating the future challenges they face worldwide. As comprehensive as it is accessible, You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby appeals to anyone interested in confronting the struggles and celebrating the achievements of women in modern society.
Lilly J. Goren is associate professor of politics and global studies at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
“Nicely written and accessible.”—Kathy Merlock Jackson, editor of Walt Disney: Conversations
“You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby brings together a wide array of interesting essays that examine images of women and feminism in popular culture today. The volume makes a much-needed critical contribution to the developing literature of third-wave feminism.”—R. Claire Snyder, author of Gay Marriage and Democracy: Equality for All
You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby shows us that feminist criticism can break down and understand texts with humor and insight—and in that sense, we really have come a long way. --Kenyon College Alumni Bulletin
While theoretical and historical analysis aligns this book well with advanced undergraduate and graduate work, consideration of popular culture and current trends creates ample interest for general readers. --Social and Behavioral Sciences
Some of the articles are down-to-earth, some are down-and-dirty. Some are matter-of-fact, others deliberately argumentative in tone. The book itself is a treasury. --Lincoln County News
Offers fresh insights into the role of feminism in America. --Paintsville Heraldhttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_womens_studies/1013/thumbnail.jp

The Lilly Teaching Fellow Program strives to improve the university’s instructional mission. Fellows are tenure-track assistant professors who are recent recipients of a Ph.D. or terminal degree in their discipline or profession and are in their first, second or third year at the university. They are selected for demonstrated passion for and commitment to excellence in teaching.
“The new Lilly Fellows are an exemplary group of young teacher-scholars. Each in their own way strives to integrate their teaching and scholarly activities where possible to promote excellence in both,” said Lewis. “The Lilly Fellows program fosters this process by exposing members of the cohort to evidence-based best practices in diverse aspects of academia, engaging them in in-depth discussions of cutting-edge approaches with leaders across campus and introducing them to the various resources at UGA for enabling the academic mission.”
The Lilly Teaching Fellows is a two-year program of professional development, interaction and engagement. New Fellows are introduced to the second-year fellows. And during the second year, Fellows continue to discuss the latest instructional topics, meet with campus leaders and engage in a scholarly teaching project and peer observations of teaching.

Collaborative Work in Cultural Heritage Stewardship at the University of Alabama
No full textElectronic Thesis or DissertationRecent trends in the fields of museum education, academic archaeology, and other related cultural heritage disciplines have pushed for increasing community-based and collaborative research project efforts. This thesis seeks to answer the question; how can non-tribal organizations support indigenous communities using collaborative heritage stewardship through celebration of indigenous cultures?Methods of collaboration undertaken by the author for such a project are outlined in this thesis. I seek to provide recommendations for best practice for non-tribal institutions who hold positions of stewardship over indigenous southeastern North American cultural materials. These suggestions are useful for those seeking collaborative work within these communities, and for institutions which steward relevant cultural collections. In our collaboration, I promote communal capacity building by establishing two-way service-learning opportunities in places such as Sulphur, Oklahoma; within the Chickasaw Nation, and The University of Alabama, through our museums and the creation of free-choice learning resources concerning heritage. In Sulphur, Chickasaw Nation has established the Chickasaw Cultural Center, a Chickasaw cultural museum. Administration and staff from the CCC both consulted and collaborated on a collections digitization project with The University of Alabama Department of Anthropology graduate student Lilly Honea under the direction of Dr. Elliot H. Blair. Through this case study, I examine considerations for selection, facilitation, and evaluation of future collaborative community-based partnerships in the discipline of cultural management
