    The effects of Wnt5a and Wnt3a and PCP signaling on Schwann cell biology and myelination

    No full text
    Planar cell polarity (PCP) is known as the polarization of cells within the plane of the tissue layer. This form of polarization controls several epithelial and non-epithelial morphological processes, such as the orientation of primary cilia in the inner ear, convergent extension (CE) and directed migration. A three tiered model of PCP regulation has been proposed which consists of the global, core, and effector modules. However there is one addition level of modulation through non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Of the many Wnt proteins a few have been identified to signal primarily through this pathway. One such protein is Wnt5a, which has been shown to modulate PCP during directed cell migration. In this study we gather preliminary data for the presence of PCP signaling components in Schwann cells and investigate the effect of Wnt5a and its antagonist Wnt3a on Schwann cell proliferation, migration and myelination.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Neha Jan

    The effects of immediate versus delayed feedback after multiple-choice questions on subsequent exam performance

    No full text
    This thesis investigates the effects of immediate versus delayed feedback following multiple-choice questions on subsequent performance on multiple-choice and recall questions. In three experiments, students in a college psychology lecture course received immediate or delayed feedback following multiple-choice questions on an initial unit exam which was followed up with exam(s) including both multiple-choice and short-answer questions. In the first experiment, the kind of feedback did not affect performance on the same multiple-choice questions when they were repeated on the final. In the second experiment, two subsequent follow-up exams included first a short-answer version of the multiple-choice question and then the same multiple-choice question. Performance on the short-answer questions was better following delayed feedback than following immediate feedback. However, the kind of feedback had no effect on the performance of the repeated multiple-choice questions. Also, the interval between the initial exam and the follow-up exam had no effect on performance. The third experiment examined whether delayed feedback increased confidence more than immediate feedback and whether the increase in confidence mediated the improved performance on subsequent short-answer questions. The delayed feedback had no effect on confidence for the subsequent short-answer and multiple-choice responses. Together, these results demonstrate that delayed feedback improves performance on the short-answer questions by increasing the subsequent generation of the correct response but does not influence recognition of it.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Neha Sinh

    Less-institutionalized social structures: a theoretical, methodological, and empirical analysis of how networks and culture matter for emergence

    No full text
    Using a networks and culture lens, I investigate the micro-level processes underlying the production of order in social contexts or locations that are relationally-defined and meaningful, but lack cultural cues to action and interpretation or are in the early stages of acquiring such meaning. Drawing on neoinstitutionalist theory, I refer to such social structures as less-institutionalized. To explain order in the absence of situational cultural cues literature in social network analysis has traditionally attributed regularities to situational structural tendencies that preclude shared understandings and/or subjective engagement. Recent literature in the sociology of culture that revives overarching moral intuitions as a basis for action similarly rejects the explanatory value of situational cultural cues. Arguing that culture is neither irrelevant nor implicated in an overarching way in culturally less-institutionalized situations, I posit that order can be linked to individuals’ tacit and discursive use of cultural repertoires acquired over the life-course through involvements in multiple networks of interaction and domains of shared meanings or ‘netdoms.’ I analytically distinguish between three categories of less-institutionalized situations of the basis of the degree of uncertainty in interpretation and action they impose upon their occupants: high, intermediate, and absence/low. I demonstrate my argument using three examples of less-institutionalized situations/positions from distinct sociological fields: (1) rapid labor-force feminization in South Asia (high-uncertainty); (2) an emergent area of knowledge production (intermediate-uncertainty); and (3) falling average sibship-size implicated in worldwide fertility decline (low/absent uncertainty). Elaborating upon three cross-netdom mechanisms - analogizing, contrasting, and spillovers – and using a mixture of interpretive techniques, multilevel statistical models, and exponential random graph models, I show that occupants use cultural repertoires discursively in high-uncertainty less-institutionalized positions, tacitly in low-uncertainty situations, and in a combination of tacit and deliberative ways under conditions of intermediate uncertainty. I also develop a mathematical model to show how less-institutionalized practices/interpretations can come to be institutionalized over time through management of uncertainty within homophilous networks. Lastly, positing a duality between the cultural repertoires of individuals and those of social locations, I conclude with a discussion on how less-institutionalized positions offer a unique window into investigating processes of emergence and social change.Ph.

    Competing bimetallic ratios: Amsterdam, London and bullion arbitrage in the 18th century

    No full text
    This article analyses the stability of bimetallism in the mid-18th century for the case of two large centres that had different legal ratios and only one international market ratio. A new theoretical framework is articulated for the situation of international independence to set legal bimetallic ratios by monetary authorities in different countries. Then, using new data handcollected from archival sources and relevant to the two main bullion markets in the 18th century, Amsterdam and London, this theoretical framework is utilised to identify the regimes that actually prevailed during that period, in which Amsterdam was effectively on the bimetallic standard while London was on the gold standard de facto.Bimetallism, Bimetallic stability, Bullion markets, Arbitrage, Specie-point mechanism, Melting-minting points
