    Atypical brain structural connectivity and social cognition in childhood maltreatment and peer victimisation

    No full text
    Background: Childhood maltreatment (CM) is associated with neurobiological aberrations and atypical social cognition. Few studies have examined the neural effects of another common early-life interpersonal stressor, namely peer victimisation (PV). This study examines the associations between tract aberrations and childhood interpersonal stress from caregivers (CM) and peers (PV), and explores how the observed tract alterations are in turn related to affective theory of mind (ToM). Methods: Data from 107 age-and gender-matched youths (34 CM [age = 19.9 ± 1.68; 36%male], 35 PV [age = 19.9 ± 1.65; 43%male], 38 comparison subjects [age = 20.0 ± 1.66; 42%male] were analysed using tractography and whole-brain tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS). Results: At the whole-brain level using TBSS, the CM group had higher fractional anisotropy (FA) than the PV and comparison groups in a cluster of predominantly limbic and corpus callosal pathways. Segmented tractography indicated the CM group had higher FA in right uncinate fasciculus compared to both groups. They also had smaller right anterior thalamic radiation (ATR) tract volume than the comparison group and higher left ATR FA than the PV group, with these metrics associated with higher emotional abuse and enhanced affective ToM within the CM group, respectively. The PV group had lower inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus FA than the other two groups, which was related to lower affective ToM within the PV group. Conclusion: Findings suggest that exposure to early-life stress from caregivers and peers are differentially associated with alterations of neural pathways connecting the frontal, temporal and occipital cortices involved in cognitive and affective control, with possible links to their atypical social cognition

    As facts and not as shadows: four American architects and their travel impressions

    No full text
    This dissertation examines American architectural and social history of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through the material culture of study abroad. Focusing on sketchbooks, journals, drawings, correspondence, and photographs of three generations of architects, the study will explore attitudes toward European cultural hegemony, the perceived value of foreign travel, changes in architectural education in the United States, and the process of image-making in the age of photography. Although the idea of observing and drawing existing monuments is rooted in the tradition of the Grand Tour and the heritage of architectural theorists dating back to Vitruvius, this essay will argue that the practice took on new meaning during a period of expansion, urbanization, and industrialization in America, c. 1850 through the 1930s. Using case studies of Frank Miles Day, Eleanor Manning, William Jarrett Hallowell Hough, and Louis Skidmore, I have investigated historical, social, and scientific epistemologies, including visual theory, of the period, and the ways in which they affected the education and professional status of American architects. My dissertation also asks why architects continued to draw after photography became commonplace, and why study abroad remained de rigueur even when the first schools of architecture were established in America. In the conclusion, I have discussed the role of hand-drawing in the modern architectural office, and how the use of computer technology is altering architectural practice.Ph.

    Women in Bangladesh : a study of the effects of garment factory work on control over income and autonomy

    No full text
    This thesis is based on the analysis of data collected in a Population Council study of female garment workers in Bangladesh, carried out in collaboration with the University of Southampton. The study considered the process of entry into work for women and the socio-economic and demographic effects of their employment. The study involved in-depth interviews with garment workers, and a large scale questionnaire survey of over 1050 garment workers and a comparison group of 1024 non-workers from different areas of Bangladesh. This thesis is based on the analysis of data collected by a research team from the Population Council and the University of Southampton (including the author) but the analysis and write up included in this thesis are entirely the work of the author.The thesis demonstrates that garment work can contribute to an increase in workers' autonomy though an increase in their confidence and interaction with the outside world. However, on conventional indicators of autonomy such as mobility and decision-making power this effect may not be apparent as a result of time and financial constraints faced by workers. Increases in autonomy and status do not necessarily come through control over income. By contributing to household income but still observing traditional norms regarding female behaviour, some workers can experience increases in their autonomy and status.The thesis concludes that employment is indeed related to changes in women's autonomy and status in Bangladesh but that these links do not work through control over income alone and that, because of the complex nature of the relationship, employment is not a good proxy for women's position in society. Empirical studies, such as this, using both qualitative and quantitative data can contribute to an increased understanding of these complex relationships.</p

    As an orphan under the care of her selfish aunt who pressures her to convert to Catholicism and enter a loveless marriage, Henrietta learns to live by her wits. Henrietta’s story draws attention to the difficulty for women of earning a living in mid-eighteenth-century England and offers readers strikingly insightful and modern reflections on human nature. Charlotte Lennox was a friend of both Samuel Richardson and Samuel Johnson and was generally admired by many of their contemporaries. A major influence on Jane Austen, Lennox is an innovator in the tradition of English women’s fiction. Out of print since the late eighteenth century, Henrietta is now available in an edited and fully annotated modern edition. Charlotte Lennox (1730–1804) was an English novelist, poet, and playwright. Ruth Perry, professor of literature at MIT, has written widely on women in eighteenth-century England. Her most recent book is Novel Relations: The Transformation of Kinship in English Literature and Culture, 1748–1818. Susan Carlile, associate professor of English at California State University, Long Beach, has published articles in numerous journals and is writing a critical biography of Charlotte Lennox. Scholarly editing engenders a sense of responsibility in the editor towards the work and its author, a desire to present the author’s work in a full and helpful manner so that other readers may find her work as satisfying as one has oneself. Ruth Perry and Susan Carlile clearly take that responsibility to heart. -- Susan Kubica Howard -- ECF The latest entry in the series is a welcome addition. -- Kritikon Litterarumhttps://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_english_language_and_literature_british_isles/1105/thumbnail.jp
