Ventilation record of cold-water corals from Mauritania over the last 30.000 years
No full textCombined 230ThU and 14C ages in cold-water corals allow accurate reconstruction of ventilation in the past. Here we present a ventilation record of cold-water corals from Mauritania (GeoB 14904-2, 517m water depth) over the last 30,000 years. The core was retrieved with a gravity corer during the RV Maria S. Merian expedition MSM16-3 Phaeton (Westphal et al 2014) and coral fragments of the species Desmophyllum pertusum (formerly known as Lophelia pertusa) were collected at various core depths. They complement recent findings on the ventilation of the eastern Atlantic (Beisel et al 2023). The corals were precisely dated using 230ThU and 14C dating. The 230ThU method is described in detail in Wefing et al 2017, Kerber et al 2023, the 14C method in Beisel et al (submitted). Benthic-atmosphere ages were calculated with IntCal20 (Reimer et al 2020). Results are discussed in Beisel et al (submitted)

The Flying Public Health Tool : genetically modified mosquitoes and malaria control
No full textFor many in the scientific world, technologies of genetic modification offer a promising method to control vector-born infectious diseases such as malaria. Nevertheless, the recent releases of the first genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes into the wild have triggered heated discussions. How is the human-mosquito relationship being reconfigured through the development of GM mosquitoes? The scientific modifications that make mosquitoes incapable of transmitting malaria and capable of generating profit have epistemic consequences for public health. GM mosquitoes have shifted malaria control in ways that might best be understood in terms of ‘transposition’ (Braidotti): the mosquito transforms from a disease-bringing agent to a benevolent public health tool. This transformation from vector to tool is technically elegant, but this elegance is also risky. As the history of malaria epidemics has shown mosquitoes travel long distances in hardly predictable patterns. Creating a GM mosquito then also means to surrender public health practices to the lines of flight of the mosquito itself
“I hear music when I look at you”: Teenage agency, mass media, and Frank Sinatra in World War II America
Get PDFThe years following World War II have seen a wealth of scholarship dedicated to the topic revealing the undeniably huge impact the war had on people and politics throughout the world. In terms of the United States’ involvement in the war, most scholarship addresses the conflict through the lens of adult experiences and viewpoints, leaving a gap in regards to those experiences of Americans that were too young to contribute to the war in the most emphasized ways, namely by serving in the military or entering the workforce. This dissertation aims to reveal how American youth, and teenage girls in particular, navigated their feelings and understandings of patriotism, self-identity, sexuality, and gender roles during an era defined by uncertainty and fear, primarily through consumption of and participation in popular culture. More specifically, this study will explore the expansive yet close-knit community of teenage female fans of Frank Sinatra during the years of World War II, and how they used Sinatra as a focal point in which to direct these complex feelings.
Central to this investigation is the close study of recently unearthed published fan club newsletters and correspondences, which were authored, printed, and distributed entirely by the primarily female and teenage members of Frank Sinatra fan clubs. These newsletters provide significant insight into how American teenage girls consumed popular culture, how popular culture helped them navigate their wartime lives, and what they valued in entertainment and their lives in general, through their own perspectives. Far from reinforcing stereotypes that these teenage fans were immature and removed from reality, the structures and cultural objects produced by wartime Sinatra fan clubs reveal a community of young Americans that demonstrated considerable levels of creativity, professionalism, and passion.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Katie Hollenbach, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-18 at 16:51.The student, Katie Hollenbach, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2018-04-18 at 16:59.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2018-04-19 at 14:10.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12364 on 2018-08-31 at 17:20:48Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:36:48Z (GMT).
