Pop Culture and Protofeminism: The Novels of Jacqueline Susann and the Second Wave of the Women\u27s Movement.
No full textDisagreement over the label feminist continues to elicit debate within the feminist movement and in society. Some contemporary feminists see protofeminism in Jacqueline Susann\u27s novels.
This work investigates the support Susann\u27s novels offered to the second wave of the feminist movement of the 1960s and the 1970s. A close reading of Susann\u27s best-selling novels, Valley of the Dolls (1966), The Love Machine (1969), and Once is Not Enough (1973) was combined with a study of the author\u27s biography, works by second-wave feminists, and reviews and criticism of the novels. Further evidence was gathered through research of the socioeconomic status of women during relevant periods and viewing the novels from the perspective of the feminist movement\u27s second wave.
Placing the novels in their historical and socio-economic context proved that these works did not offer support to the movement. Instead, they advocated women\u27s continued status as oppressed citizens

Development of the Illinois career readiness scale for college students with disabilities
Get PDFDespite the association between higher earnings and increased opportunities of employment with post-secondary education, the transition to employment is found to be difficult for college graduates with disabilities. The Illinois Career Readiness Scale (ICRS) was developed to address the career awareness and readiness levels of college students with disabilities. A goal of the ICRS is to address the career development needs and assist students with disabilities in the process of making more informed decisions in their career planning. The ICRS was developed based on the Cognitive Information Processing Theory (Peterson et al., 1991) and the Illinois Work and Well-Being Model (Strauser et al., 2015). The internal consistency was investigated, followed by construct validity by examining the relationship of subscales with appropriate correlational instruments. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to determine relationships between subscales of the ICRS and other variables. Preliminary results suggest initial support for the utilization of the ICRS as an instrument to measure an individual’s self-reported career readiness levels.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2023-05-01The student, Susann Sears, accepted the attached license on 2021-04-08 at 11:05.The student, Susann Sears, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2021-04-08 at 11:22.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2021-04-09 at 16:11.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #16256 on 2021-09-16 at 17:02:39Made available in DSpace on 2021-09-17T02:34:21Z (GMT).

Emotional user comments: The role of emotions when reading user comments towards online news
Get PDFDie vorliegende Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welchen Einfluss Emotionen in Nutzer*innenkommentaren zu Online-Nachrichten auf Rezipierende haben können. Die Untersuchung erfolgt unter der Annahme, dass Emotionen aktiv am Prozess der Einstel-lungsbildung beteiligt sind und sich Nutzer*innenkommentare daher auf die Meinungsbil-dung bei der Rezeption von Online-Nachrichten auswirken können. Im Rahmen der theoretischer Aufarbeitung werden in dieser Arbeit die zentralen Begriffe Nutzer*innenkommentar und Emotion beschrieben sowie Annahmen zur potenziellen Wir-kung von Emotionen in Nutzer*innenkommentaren hergeleitet. Es wird angenommen, dass durch die Rezeption von Emotionen in Nutzer*innenkommentaren Informationsverar-beitungsprozesse und emotionale Prozesse von Rezipierenden beeinflusst werden können. Die Untersuchung des angenommenen Einflusses emotionaler Nutzer*innenkommentare auf die Informationsverarbeitung und auf emotionale Prozesse erfolgt in zwei empirischen Studien, die im Anschluss an den theoretischen Teil vorgestellt werden. Mit einem Eye Tracking-Experiment wird der Einfluss von Emotionen in Kommentaren auf die selektive Wahrnehmung und die Wiedererkennung von Kommentarinhalten getestet und mit einer quasi-experimentellen Interviewstudie wird untersucht, ob und wie soziale emotionale Pro-zesse emotionale Reaktionen auslösen können. Die Ergebnisse der Studien deuten insgesamt auf eine Vorherrschaft der Wirkung negati-ver Emotionen bei der Rezeption von Nutzer*innenkommentaren hin. Negative Emotionen – insbesondere Wut – werden im Prozess der Informationsverarbeitung stärker als positive Emotionen selektiert und verarbeitet. Zudem werden Kommentare unabhängig von verba-len und nonverbalen Ausdrucksmitteln tendenziell eher negativ von Lesenden wahrge-nommen und führen signifikant häufiger zu negativen statt positiven Reaktionen. Inwiefern sich diese Ergebnisse zum Einfluss von Emotionen auf die Urteilsbildung einordnen und bewerten lassen, wird im Abschluss der Arbeit diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit ergänzen die aktuelle kommunikationswissen-schaftliche Wirkungsforschung zu Online-Kommentaren mit der Betrachtung von Emotio-nen als vermittelndes Element zwischen Rezeption und Urteilsbildung.This dissertation is about the influence of emotions in news related user comments on readers. It is based on the assumption that emotions are actively involved in the process of forming opinions and that user comments can therefore have an impact on opinion formation when reading the news. In the first part of the dissertation, user comments and emotions are theoretically conceptualized in order to draw assumptions about the potential effect of emotions in user comments. It is assumed that the reception of emotions in user comments can influence information processing and emotional processes of recipients. These assumptions are examined in two empirical studies, which are presented in the second part of the dissertation. The influence of emotions in comments on selective perception and recognition of comments is tested in an eye tracking experiment. With an interview study, it is investigated whether and how social emotional processes can trigger emotional reactions. The results of both studies overall point out to a predominance of the effect of negative emotions in the reception of user comments. Negative emotional comments - especially angry comments - are selected and processed preferred over positive emotional comments. In addition, comments lead significantly more often to negative rather than positive reactions. The extent to which these results on the influence of emotions on judgment formation can be classified and evaluated is discussed in the conclusion of the thesis. The results of this study complement current research on the effects of online comments in communication science by considering emotions as a mediating element between reception and opinion formation
Funktionale Bedeutung der homöostatischen Chemokinrezeptoren CCR7 und CXCR5 im Verlauf von mukosalen Immunantworten
Get PDFDie kontinuierliche Rezirkulation von Immunzellen durch periphere und sekundäre lymphatische Organe (SLOs) ist Bestandteil der Immunüberwachung und wichtig für die Aufrechterhaltung und Funktionsbereitschaft des Immunsystems. Der homöostatische Chemokinrezeptor CCR7 vermittelt dabei nicht nur die Rezirkulation von Lymphozyten durch SLOs, sondern scheint auch an der homöostatischen Rezirkulation von Lymphozyten durch nicht-lymphoide periphere Gewebe beteiligt zu sein. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde mithilfe von CCR7-defizienten Mäusen die funktionale Bedeutung von CCR7 für die homöostatische Rezirkulation von Lymphozyten durch das Peritoneum untersucht und nachgewiesen, dass CCR7 der dominante Chemokinrezeptor ist, der unter physiologischen Bedingungen die Transitzeit von Lymphozyten durch das Peritoneum festlegt. Die gestörte Rezirkulation von Lymphozyten begünstigte außerdem die Entstehung von tertiären lymphoiden Organen (TLOs) in der Magenschleimhaut von CCR7-defizienten Mäusen. Untersuchungen zur zellulären und molekularen Grundlage dieser und weiterer pathomorphologischer Veränderungen in der Magenschleimhaut von CCR7-defizienten Mäusen verdeutlichten die Funktion von CCR7 für die Etablierung von zentraler und peripherer Toleranz gegenüber gastrischen Antigenen. Fehlt CCR7, dann entwickelten Mäuse eine spontane Autoimmungastritis, welche durch gastritogene CD4+ T-Zellen verursacht wurde, deren Aktivierung auch unabhängig von Lymphknoten und TLOs erfolgte. Die Entstehung von TLOs wird auch bei einer durch Helicobacter pylori ausgelösten chronischen Gastritis beobachtet. Die Expression des homöostatischen Chemokinrezeptors CXCR5 und seines Liganden CXCL13 ist mit der Entwicklung dieser TLOs korreliert worden. Unter Verwendung eines Mausmodells für H. pylori-induzierte chronische Gastritis konnte gezeigt werden, dass CXCR5 die Ausbildung von TLOs vermittelt und eine Rolle für die Induktion von H. pylori-spezifischen T-Zell- sowie humoralen Immunantworten spielt.Homeostatic recirculation of immune cells through peripheral and secondary lympoid organs (SLOs) is required for immune surveillance and the maintenance and functionality of the immune system. The homeostatic chemokine receptor CCR7 controls not only lymphoid cell trafficking to and within SLOs, but also seems to be involved in the homeostatic recirculation of lymphocytes through non-lymphoid peripheral tissues. Within the scope of this work we investigated the functional relevance of CCR7 for the homeostatic recirculation of lymphocytes through the peritoneal cavity and could show, that CCR7 is the dominant chemokine receptor which defines the transit time of lymphocytes in the peritoneal cavity under physiological conditions. Impaired recirculation of lymphocytes also promoted the development of tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs) in the gastric mucosa of CCR7-deficient mice. Analysis of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these and other pathomorphological alterations in the gastric mucosa of CCR7-deficient mice provided further evidence regarding the function of CCR7 for the establishment of central and peripheral tolerance towards gastric antigens. Mice that lack CCR7 spontaneously developed autoimmune gastritis, which was caused by gastritogenic CD4+ T-cells. Such autoreactive T cell responses were also initiated in the absence of lymph nodes and TLOs in CCR7/LT-alpha double-deficient mice. Development of TLOs is also observed during chronic gastritis induced by Helicobacter pylori. The expression of the homeostatic chemokine receptor CXCR5 and its ligand CXCL13 has been correlated with the development of these TLOs. Using a mouse model for H. pylori-induced chronic gastritis, we could show that CXCR5 is responsible for the development of TLOs and also plays a role for the induction of H. pylori-specific T and B cell responses
