The Newfound Neurology of Type 1 Diabetes
No full textFor most of human history, type 1 diabetes mellitus was a terminal diagnosis. First documented in 1500 BCE in Egypt, diabetes was observed causing symptoms such as rapid weight loss, frequent urination, and shortly thereafter, death [1, 2]. In Ancient Rome, the way physicians diagnosed diabetes was by tasting the urine of people suffering from these symptoms, looking for a telltale “sweet” taste and smell (the word mellitus means “honey” in Latin) [1]. In the 1900’s, the only medical treatment for diabetes was an extremely low-calorie diet, which prolonged the patient’s lifespan but ultimately led to death by starvation [3]. In the last 50 years, significant advances in medicine have increased our understanding of diabetes and allowed the development of technology to facilitate management of the diagnosis. Diabetes is currently recognized as a chronic illness, a condition requiring ongoing treatment or monitoring, rather than the death sentence it once was [1,4]. Insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating the amount of glucose in the blood, was the first chemically synthesized human protein in 1963 [5]. In 1979, the first needle-free insulin delivery system was introduced [6]. The continuous glucose monitor was later released in 2006, allowing people with diabetes a real-time update of their blood glucose levels [7]. Because of these technological advancements, people with diabetes are able to more closely control their blood glucose levels, reducing the physical symptoms of hyperglycemia on their bodies [7].People with diabetes are now living longer than ever before as their physical symptoms improve, allowing researchers the opportunity to study the neurological effects of type 1 diabetes for the first time in history [7, 8].Temple University.

The music of Miriam Gideon during the McCarthy era, including a complete catalogue of her works
No full textThis thesis considers the musical response of the American composer,
Miriam Gideon to political events during the McCarthy era. It examines the
interrelationships between politics, society and culture and considers how these are
reflected in two works, Epitaphs from Robert Burns (1952) and Altered Steps to
Altered States (1953) that Gideon composed during this period. Specifically, this
thesis focuses on Gideon’s transition from teaching and composing music within an
academic setting to preparing for life in a musical world, without support from
mainstream academic institutions.
Following the Introduction, Chapter 2 documents the rise of anti-communist
practices on campus at Brooklyn College and City College, New York City where
Miriam Gideon held music teaching posts. It reconstructs the personal events that led
to the loss of both of these appointments and examines how and why this occurred. It
is argued that Gideon entered a period of ‘inner exile,’ and this concept and its
consequences for Gideon are explored in Chapter 3. An examination of her private
diaries demonstrates that the effects of the McCarthy era were not only physical, but
also psychological and social.
Chapters 4-6 consider Gideon’s music through the perspective of inner exile
and aim to show that the music that she wrote was a reflection of her experiences.
Gideon’s return to academia in 1955 and her rehabilitation back into the academy are
discussed in Chapter 7. A complete list of Gideon’s compositional output is included
and is organised chronologically, alphabetically and by genre. This thesis examines
new documents not previously available to scholars, and includes interviews
conducted by the author with Gideon’s former students and colleagues
Recurrent drought in the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality of the North West Province in South Africa: an environmental justice perspective
No full textThis article adopts an environmental justice approach to recurrent drought in the North-West Province of South Africa. It is based on a secondary data analysis of a study – of which the author was a research team member – conducted in the Dr Ruth Segomotsi Mompati District Municipality in February 2007, which assessed the impact of drought on older people. The methodology used during the initial study included observation, individual interviews, focus group interviews and participatory research. The author of the present article suggests, however, that discourses of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and ’legislative compliance’, as in many other South African contexts, have not yet been a particularly useful framing for issues of disaster and drought. The author suggests that environmental justice discourses might offer a more useful framing or conceptualisation for those concerned with the issue of recurrent drought in the study area or similar contexts
