An investigation into the identity of the active component in Pseudocatalase
No full textAn Investigation into the Identity of the Active Component in Pseudocatalase By Neale Wareham Pseudocatalase is a potential treatment for the disease Vitiligo (characterised by patchy loss of the pigment melanin in the skin). It has been developed by Professors K., U. Schallreuter and J. M. Woods of Bradford University in collaboration with Stiefel Laboratories International R & D, Maidenhead, UK. It was originally thought that the active moiety of Pseudocatalase was a manganese/bicarbonate complex, which mimics the action of the enzyme catalase in the melanogenesis pathway. This Thesis describes the methods used to try to identify and quantitatively assay the active component. The catalytic activity of Pseudocatalase upon the dye Alizarin, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, was examined using UV/vis spectroscopy. A capillary electrophoresis method was developed and validated for the assay of manganese EDTA. ESR spectroscopy was used to study the manganese complex in Pseudocatalase. The Thesis also sheds some light on the mode of action of Pseudocatalase in melanogenesis and the role of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and bicarbonate in the formation of the active moiety, possibly a bi-nuclear manganese/EDTA/bicarbonate complex.</p
Body, time, and the others: African-American anthropology and the rewriting of ethnographic conventions in the ethnographies by Zora Neale Hurston and Katherine Dunham
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.This research looks at the ethnographies Mules and Men (1935) and Tell My Horse: Voodoo and Life in Haiti and Jamaica (1938) by Zora Neale Hurston focusing on representations of Time and the anthropologist’s body. Hurston was an African-American anthropologist, folklorist, and novelist who conducted research particularly between the end of the 1920s and the mid-1930s. At first, her fieldwork and writings dealt with African-American communities in Florida and Hoodoo practice in Louisiana, but she consequently expanded her field of anthropological interests to Jamaica and Haiti, which she visited between 1936 and 1937. The temporal and bodily factors in Hurston’s works are taken into consideration as coordinates of differentiation between the ethnographer and the objects of her research. In her ethnographies, the representation of the anthropologist’s body is analysed as an attempt at reducing temporal distance in ethnographical writings paralleled by the performative experience of fieldwork exemplified by Hurston’s storytelling: body, voice, and the dialogic representation of fieldwork relationships do not guarantee a portrayal of the anthropological subject on more egalitarian terms, but cast light on the influence of the anthropologist both in the practice and writing of ethnography. These elements are analysed in reference to the visualistic tradition of American anthropology as ways of organising difference and ascribing the anthropological ‘Others’ to a temporal frame characterised by bodily and cultural features perceived as ‘primitive’ and, therefore, distant from modernity. Representations and definitions of ‘primitiveness’ and ‘modernity’ not only shaped both twentieth-century American anthropology and the modernist arts (Harlem Renaissance), but also were pivotal for the creation of a modern African-American identity in its relation to African history and other black people involved in the African diaspora. In the same years in which Hurston visited Jamaica and Haiti, another African-American woman anthropologist and dancer, Katherine Dunham, conducted fieldwork in the Caribbean and started to look at it as a source of inspiration for the emerging African-American dance as recorded in her ethnographical and autobiographical account Island Possessed (1969). Therefore, Hurston’s and Dunham’s representations of Haiti are examined as points of intersection for the different discourses which both widened and complicated their understanding of what being ‘African’ and ‘American’ could mean.Isambard Research Scholarship from Brunel University and grant from Allan & Nesta Ferguson Charitable Trust

Perceived justice in email service recovery
No full textThis study adds to the limited research of service recovery in an online environment, drawing on data from Australia. It is perhaps the first non-US study of email service recovery as well as the first to apply a theoretical perspective - perceived justice - to email service recovery. The results of three annual studies resemble US results and support extending perceived justice to service recovery via email. The distributive elements of replying and offering compensation, the procedural element of answering completely, and the interactional element of thanking the customer showed significant positive relationships with customer satisfaction, positive word-of-mouth and repurchase intent. Perhaps most importantly for practitioners, the results of a stepwise regression showed that incorporating the simple phrase "thank-you" in the email reply was a strong predictor of successful email service recovery. Finally, this study found that response time might be less critical than previously thought
