Edna Frederikson papers
No full textEdna Frederikson (1904-1998) was an author of novels and poetry, as well as a professor at Madison College (later James Madison University) in Harrisonburg, Virginia. She met Katherine Anne Porter at the 1940 Bread Loaf Writer's Conference in Middleburg, Vermont. Porter was especially helpful to Frederikson in the early 1940s as Frederikson made the transition from teaching to creative writing. The collection consists of correspondence between Frederikson and Porter. Important subjects include writing, mutual acquaintances, and events in their personal lives

Biomonitoring in rivers adopting environmental DNA (eDNA)
No full textA monitoring technique capable of assessing the status of an aquatic ecosystem is needed for reversing negative trends in river biodiversity. Recently, an innovative technique for detecting the degree of biodiversity based on environmental DNA traces (mucus, shed skins etc.) has been proposed (Carraro et al., 2020). This eDNA-based biomonitoring relies on the collection and processing of water samples containing genetic material released by organisms. In recent years, the research community has made significant efforts to advance the identification of species from biological samples, for instance by expanding genetic reference databases. However, eDNA technique implementation is hampered by a lack of knowledge about the dynamics of biological traces in rivers. Here, the aim is to investigate the transport of eDNA in water streams, while considering processes such as degradation and spreading.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Rivers, Ports, Waterways and Dredging Engineerin

Comparing sample mediums for detecting invertebrates using eDNA on Prince Edward Island
No full textEnvironmental DNA (eDNA) as a biodiversity monitoring strategy can be a time-saving and
cost-saving resource when compared to morphometric identification. Aquatic survey programs
are hesitant to adopt metabarcoding-based eDNA sequencing as an official monitoring strategy
due to molecular method shortcomings, namely amplification bias, sequencing material costs and
incomplete reference databases. This study aims to develop a protocol for metabarcoding coastal
crustaceans on Prince Edward Island using novel COI gene metabarcoding primers designed by
Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Next-generation sequencing results from sediment, water, and
unsorted bulk tissue extracts are compared to small-bodied crustacean traps and known PEI
crustacean assemblages. Sampling occurred in June and August of 2021, with two additional
sample time points from the summers of 2016 and 2017 to provide preliminary spatiotemporal
community comparisons. The goal of this study is to develop a protocol using eDNA that may
expedite aquatic crustacean biodiversity surveys and supplement the techniques currently
employed in the watersheds on Prince Edward Island

Self-ordering creativity and an independent work space: Edna Clarke Hall’s poem pictures in the early 1920s
No full textThis thesis argues that the Poem Pictures made by Edna Clarke Hall (1879-1979) in the early 1920s signify new approaches to the treatment of ‘neuroses’ in British psychiatry following World War One, and contends that the artist’s biography is pertinent to understanding the production and meaning of these works. These hypotheses are demonstrated by considering Dr Henry Head’s responses to Clarke Hall when she sought his aid in 1920, following a period of emotional imbalance and physical illness. The thesis proposes that the philosophies underlying Head’s advice can be traced, via his acquaintance with psychiatrist Dr W.H.R. Rivers, to the unique psychotherapies practiced at Edinburgh’s Craiglockhart War Hospital from c.1916-17. Analysing archival holdings, it suggests that the Poem Pictures are Clark Hall’s creative manifestation of Head’s use of autognosis, by which a patient repeatedly verbalizes their subjective position. In relation to Craiglockhart’s ‘ergotherapy’, particular significance is placed on Head’s advice that Clarke Hall purchase a studio, and it is proposed that this space was imperative to the artist’s recovery and burgeoning career in the 1920s. In turn, this thesis situates the Poem Pictures and their author within the context of middle-class women’s participation in the arts in the inter-war decade
Estágio em microbiologia clínica: diagnóstico microbiológico em patologia clínica
No full textMestrado em Tecnologias Clínico-LaboratoriaisOs exames laboratoriais tornaram-se essenciais para o diagnóstico e terapêutica das mais variadas doenças. Assim, é de grande relevância que os laboratórios de patologia clínica garantam a qualidade dos resultados obtidos ao longo das diferentes fases laboratoriais. A automação está cada vez mais presente nos laboratórios, possibilitando uma diminuição do tempo de resposta e de erros, uma elevação do fluxo de amostra, logo, é possível adquirir resultados rápidos e mais fiáveis a um elevado número de utentes em simultâneo. O estágio enquadra-se no âmbito do Mestrado de Tecnologias Clínico-Laboratoriais da Escola de Tecnologias de Saúde de Lisboa, do Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa, com duração total de 600 horas no Laboratório de Microbiologia e Biologia Molecular do Hospital Egas Moniz, pertencente ao Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Ocidental, sob orientação das Doutoras Edna Soraia Gregório Ribeiro, Isabel Maria de Almeida Marques Paes de Faria e Zúzeca Vanina Salvador Magalhães. Este relatório tem como objetivo descrever todas as etapas do processo laboratorial, caracterização e descrição do funcionamento do local de estágio, dos equipamentos, metodologias e técnicas utilizadas, abordando testes e parâmetros analíticos definidos, bem como o seu interesse clínico. Por fim, o diagnóstico microbiológico é uma ferramenta essencial na saúde, permitindo detetar, isolar, avaliar a suscetibilidade a fármacos para condução a uma terapêutica, reduzindo a mortalidade e contribuindo para o bem-estar geral da população através da aplicação de várias técnicas e equipamentos. Embora tenham várias limitações, são melhorados e substituídos à medida que novos avanços tecnológicos ocorrem.ABSTRACT - Laboratory tests have become essential for the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of diseases. Thus, clinical pathology laboratories must guarantee the quality of the results obtained throughout the different laboratory phases. Automation is increasing at laboratories, enabling a decrease in response time and errors, and an increase in the flow of samples, therefore, it’s possible to acquire quick and more reliable results from a large number of users simultaneously. This internship is part of the Master’s Degree in Clinical-Laboratory Technologies at the Lisbon Health School Technologies, at the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon, with a total duration of 600 hours in the Microbiology and Molecular Biology Laboratory of Egas Moniz Hospital, belonging to the West Lisbon Hospital Center, under the guidance of Doctors Edna Soraia Gregório Ribeiro, Isabel Maria de Almeida Marques Paes de Faria and Dr. Zúzeca Vanina Salvador Magalhães. This report aims to describe all stages of the laboratory process, characterization, and description of the operation of the internship location, equipment, methodologies, and techniques used, addressing defined tests and analytical parameters, as well as their clinical interest. Finally, microbiological diagnosis is an essential tool in health, allowing one to detect, isolate, and assess the susceptibility to drugs to conduct therapy, reducing mortality and contributing to the general well-being of the population through the application of several techniques and equipment. Although they’ve several limitations, they’re improved and replaced as new technological advances occur.N/
