From the Margins to the Forefront: Tillie Olsen's Mediation as Figure and Author
No full text45 pg.Tillie Olsen's life experiences and self-identification as a working class woman provide a strong basis for analyzing her fiction as partly autobiographical. As she wrote, she developed her position as a recognized and award winning author into that of a literary mediator for socially marginalized subjects, actively working to represent certain conditions of exclusion due to social, racial, economic, and sexual factors during the 1970's and 1980's. Through analysis of her fiction and non-fiction texts, her use of modernist writing techniques, her purpose as a writer, and her impact on the literary canon, it becomes possible to see how she has altered the literary landscape and has made those who suffer exclusion visible and legible.Advisor(s): Choi, Helen .

Except for the Japanese paratypes (depositories shown in parenthesis), all the other type specimens including the holotype are deposited in YSUW. Distribution Korea, Japan. Biology Unknown. Etymology This species is named after Dr. F. Christian Thompson who contributed a great deal for the systematics of Syrphidae. He initially suggested the study of Volucella to the first author. Remarks We have occasionally found this species mixed with V. pellucens tabanoides specimens under same identification labels in the Korean institutions. These two species superficially resemble each other, but the new species is easily separable by the longer abdominal tergite 2 in both sexes, and much darker vertex in female. Further examination of the male genitalia strongly suggests that this species might not even be closely related to V. pellucens. The male genitalic structures (especially the highly reduced surstyli; Figs. 1G, H) are so unique that we were not able to associate the new species with any other Volucella species. We are currently investigating this matter using both morphological and molecular data (Choi et al., in prep.). Our preliminary analysis based on mitochondrial 16S rRNA and COII gene sequences suggests that V. thompsoni n.sp. might be more closely related to V. nigropicta (the zonaria species group) than the other species of the pellucens species group.Published as part of Choi, Deuk-Soo, Ôhara, Kenji & Han, Ho-Yeon, 2006, Taxonomic notes on the Volucella pellucens species group (Diptera: Syrphidae) with a description of one new species from the Eastern Palaearctic, pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 1185 on pages 4-8, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1185.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/492043
Increased Excitatory Synaptic Transmission of Dentate Granule Neurons in Mice Lacking PSD-95-Interacting Adhesion Molecule Neph2/Kirrel3 during the Early Postnatal Period
No full textCopy number variants and point mutations of NEPH2 (also called KIRREL3) gene encoding an immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily adhesion molecule have been linked to autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disability and neurocognitive delay associated with Jacobsen syndrome, but the physiological roles of Neph2 in the mammalian brain remain largely unknown. Neph2 is highly expressed in the dentate granule (DG) neurons of the hippocampus and is localized in both dendrites and axons. It was recently shown that Neph2 is required for the formation of mossy fiber filopodia, the axon terminal structure of DG neurons forming synapses with GABAergic neurons of CA3. In contrast, however, it is unknown whether Neph2 also has any roles in the postsynaptic compartments of DG neurons. We here report that, through its C-terminal PDZ domain-binding motif, Neph2 directly interacts with postsynaptic density (PSD)-95, an abundant excitatory postsynaptic scaffolding protein. Moreover, Neph2 protein is detected in the brain PSD fraction and interacts with PSD-95 in synaptosomal lysates. Functionally, loss of Neph2 in mice leads to age-specific defects in the synaptic connectivity of DG neurons. Specifically, Neph2−/− mice show significantly increased spontaneous excitatory synaptic events in DG neurons at postnatal week 2 when the endogenous Neph2 protein expression peaks, but show normal excitatory synaptic transmission at postnatal week 3. The evoked excitatory synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity of medial perforant pathway (MPP)-DG synapses are also normal in Neph2−/− mice at postnatal week 3, further confirming the age-specific synaptic defects. Together, our results provide some evidence for the postsynaptic function of Neph2 in DG neurons during the early postnatal period, which might be implicated in neurodevelopmental and cognitive disorders caused by NEPH2 mutations.

PERAN CHOI SIWON DAN DITA KARANG SEBAGAI DUTA HUBUNGAN DIPLOMATIK INDONESIA DAN KOREA SELATAN YANG KE-50 PADA TAHUN 2023
No full textThis thesis is entitled The Role of Choi Siwon and Dita Karang as Ambassadors for the 50th Diplomatic Relations of Indonesia and South Korea in 2023. The celebration of diplomatic relations between Indonesia and South Korea in 2023 is something special, considering that not all countries in the world have bilateral relations which is good and has been around for 50 years. In 2023, Indonesia will focus on further developing the creative economy industri and South Korea will focus on better people-to-people relations between the two countries. To bridge the national interests of each country, Choi Siwon and Dita Karang were chosen as ambassadors for the 50th diplomatic relations between Indonesia and South Korea in 2023. The theoretical concept used is public diplomacy proposed by Jan Mellissen and Celebrity Activism from Asteris Hulialas and Nikolaos Tzifakis. The methodology used by the author is descriptive qualitative with data collection in the form of literature studies and interviews. The results of this research show that the relationship between Indonesia and South Korea is getting closer because of the role of Choi Siwon in promoting Indonesia in South Korea and Dita Karang promoting Indonesia in South Korea. The election of Choi Siwon and Dita Karang did not result in an MoU between Indonesia and South Korea, but in terms of bridging public relations, the two countries had a positive impact on each other
