State fragmentation and citizen education: creating a culture of citizenship in Bogotá, Colombia
No full textMy dissertation is an ethnography of governance in Colombia. I argue that despite widespread understandings of the Colombian state as failed, it actually plays an important role in the everyday lives of citizens. I argue that the Colombian state continues to govern through two key mechanisms:1. the rapid construction of state institutions and policies that clutter symbolic and physical space 2. the education of citizens such that they learn to be active participants in providing services traditionally forthcoming from the state, like security and justice. I explore how these interconnected processes of state and citizen formation are articulated through citizen culture, a novel crime reduction policy that has turned the capital city of Bogotá into an international model of best governance practices.Ph.D.Includes abstractVitaby Stacey Leigh HuntIncludes bibliographical reference
A multi-stage genome-wide association study of bladder cancer identifies multiple susceptibility loci.
Get PDFWe conducted a multi-stage, genome-wide association study of bladder cancer with a primary scan of 591,637 SNPs in 3,532 affected individuals (cases) and 5,120 controls of European descent from five studies followed by a replication strategy, which included 8,382 cases and 48,275 controls from 16 studies. In a combined analysis, we identified three new regions associated with bladder cancer on chromosomes 22q13.1, 19q12 and 2q37.1: rs1014971, (P = 8 × 10⁻¹²) maps to a non-genic region of chromosome 22q13.1, rs8102137 (P = 2 × 10⁻¹¹) on 19q12 maps to CCNE1 and rs11892031 (P = 1 × 10⁻⁷) maps to the UGT1A cluster on 2q37.1. We confirmed four previously identified genome-wide associations on chromosomes 3q28, 4p16.3, 8q24.21 and 8q24.3, validated previous candidate associations for the GSTM1 deletion (P = 4 × 10⁻¹¹) and a tag SNP for NAT2 acetylation status (P = 4 × 10⁻¹¹), and found interactions with smoking in both regions. Our findings on common variants associated with bladder cancer risk should provide new insights into the mechanisms of carcinogenesis
Conjuring our beings: Stacey Gillian Abe and Immy Mali in conversational partnership
No full textThe series of Conversational Partnerships began in 2017 in African Arts vol. 50, no. 2, with a conversation between two artists: Eria Nsubuga SANE from Uganda and Sikhumbuzo Makandula from South Africa. The format of a “conversational partnership” (Rubin and Rubin 2012: 7) emphasizes the cocreation of meaning by the interviewer and interviewee as coauthors. This enables a move away from the art history format of the interviewer (usually a writer) assuming the role of the sole author and the interviewee (often an artist) having no status as an author despite the fact that her or his practice-led creation of knowledge is foundational to the content of the interview. Stacey Gillian Abe and Immy Mali participated in a joint artists' residency as part of the RAW program at Rhodes University in South Africa from November to December 2017. During this time, they engaged with each other's practice-led work, and they created this conversational partnership at a writing breakaway in the Eastern Cape
The emergence of knowledge in organisations
Get PDFThis paper argues for a particular way of interpreting analogies from the complexity sciences as the basis for a perspective on knowledge creation in organizations called complex responsive processes of relating (Stacey, 2000; Stacey, Griffin & Shaw, 2001; Stacey, 2001). From this perspective, knowledge is continuously reproduced and potentially transformed processes of interaction between people. It follows that people cannot ‘share’ knowledge because one cannot share the actions of relating to others, only perform them. It also follows that knowledge as such is not stored anywhere. All that can be stored is reifications in the form of artifacts, or tools, which can only become knowledge when used in communicative interaction between people. It becomes impossible to talk about measuring knowledge as ‘intellectual capital’ because knowledge itself does not exist in measurable, or any other reified form. Indeed, putting the words ‘intellectual’ and ‘capital’ together makes little sense. The notion put forward by some (for example, Roos, Dragonetti & Edvinsson, 1997; Sveiby, 1997) that an organization can own ‘intellectual capital’, that is, can own the attitudes, competence and intellectual agility of individuals, becomes highly dubious since no one can own relationships. The conclusion is that while it is possible to nurture knowledge, it is impossible to ‘manage’ it, when ‘manage’ is understood in it conventional sense. This paper first highlights the central concepts of mainstream thinking about knowledge creation and management in organizations and then outlines the perspective of complex responsive processes of relating
Gender and the politics of the gaze in Bronte's Wuthering Heights
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2009.O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar uma análise de como a imagem de Catherine é moldada pelo olhar masculino, como ela enfrenta os três tipos de olhar - o olhar dos personagens, o olhar do leitor, e o olhar do autor - e finalmente, se o olhar masculino é interrompido. O parâmetro teórico desta análise, o conceito do olhar masculino, é teorizado por Laura Mulvey no artigo "Prazer Visual e Cinema Narrativo" (1975) o qual critica a relação entre o olhar masculino e a imagem feminina do prazer visual moldado pela sociedade patriarcal. Através da crítica de Mulvey do prazer visual generizado em filmes, que pertence ao contexto do cinema clássico de Hollywood, articulo sua teoria em relação ao romance Wuthering Heights de Emily Brontë para examinar a dinâmica do olhar masculino em relação à personagem feminina Catherine. Este estudo teve também por objetivo analisar o quanto o paradigma teórico de Mulvey produzido para cinema poderia ser aplicado especificamente em um texto literário escrito no século XIX.The objective of this thesis is to present an analysis of whether Catherine's image has been shaped by the male gaze, how she contends with the three looks of the male gaze - the look of the characters, the look of the reader, and the look of the author - and finally, how the male gaze is broken. The theoretical parameter of this analysis, the concept of the male gaze, is theorized by Laura Mulvey in the article "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" (1975) which critiques the relation between the male gaze and the female image within the patriarchal molding of visual pleasure. Borrowing Mulvey's critique of the gendering of visual pleasure in films, which pertains to the context of classical Hollywood cinema, I have articulated her theory in relation to Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, to examine the dynamics of the male gaze regarding the female character, Catherine. This study also aimed at examing the extent to which Mulvey's theoretical paradigm produced for cinema could be articulated specifically in relation to a literary text written in the nineteenth century
A snapshot of the Artemia genome: to code or not to code
No full textThe Waksman Student Scholars Program, along with the Introduction to Molecular Biology and Biochemical Research class, were responsible for the publication of 628 Artemia sequences. Surprisingly, 361 of these sequences (58%) did not contain an open reading frame larger than 80 residues. It was originally presumed that this was due to a high level of genomic DNA contamination. While it is possible that some of our Artemia sequences are genomic contamination, I believe a large majority of our non-coding sequences are long non-coding RNA (ncRNA), newly recognized players in transcriptional regulation. This high percentage of non-coding sequences is reasonable,
as other genomic studies indicate about 50% of an organism’s RNA is non-coding. Our average non-coding sequence length was 600nt, significantly longer than our average Artemia 3’UTR length of 175nt, which can easily be explained if we acknowledge these sequences as long non-coding RNAs. Many of our non-coding RNAs also contain polyA tails, as well as polyadenylation signals. Considering many ncRNAs are polyadenylated, this data supports my hypothesis. Fifty-two percent of our non-coding sequences match
other Artemia sequences in NCBI, and of these matches, 33% are in the reverse direction. Transcription in the reverse direction is a method used by ncRNA to inhibit gene transcription.
In addition to my analysis of the 628 analyzed Artemia sequences, I used DNASTAR software to analyze all 5,947 Artemia sequences generated from 2005 through 2008. This software validated sequence quality and assembled similar sequences into 2,848 contiguous sequences. These contiguous sequences were further processed using Blast2GO, a gene ontology tool, where only 268 contiguous sequences were of high
enough quality to be considered annotated genes. These genes were further characterized according to their Gene Ontology.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 60-62)by Stacey Lynn Witti
