Abstract:
This thesis examines the formative years (1931-1940) of Canada's first birth control clinic, the Birth Control Society of Hamilton (BCSH). The focus of this work is to place the activities of the BCSH in an international and national context. Canada's first birth control clinic drew directly on the writings and experience of two well known birth control pioneers, the American Margaret Sanger and the English woman Marie Stopes. This reliance on foreign models demonstrates the enormous influence that the British and Americans had on the formation of Canadian social and medical institutions. This thesis also challenges the traditional perception of the BCSH as a low key and non-ideological endeavour. New historical evidence indicates that the BCSH shared in the eugenic ideology of other contemporary Canadian birth control organizations and was an active participant in the debates surrounding contraception and eugenics.

Abstract:
In both Britain and the United States, the interwar years witnessed the formation of a new organized movement for birth control; in both contexts, sharing a commitment to extend the provision of clinical contraception to the working-class and indigent population. This comparative thesis examines the organizational ideology and activity of the associations founded by the birth control pioneers, Marie Stopes, and Margaret Sanger. In considering the ideological constructions of contemporaneous motherhood advanced by the two groups, I seek to reposition the Anglo-American birth control movements within the wider field of social reform. Examining the influences of maternalist politics, the eugenics crusade, the developing field of social work, and the medical hierarchy in shaping the visions of maternity employed in birth control discourse, the study considers both the contrasting and convergent interpretations utilized by the organizations in their campaigns for contraception. This thesis also explores the practical work of the organizations during the interwar decades, analysing the policies and internal politics of the two groups, coalitions with other reform groups, their respective roles within the wider national and international birth control movements, and the effects engendered by the move from lay activism to professionalism. The clinical networks established by both associations are also examined, considering the divergences and similarities in the models of clinic provision, the roles of medical providers, and results of birth control in practice. I contend that, in both their ideological interpretations, alliances, and practical endeavours, the two associations shared a common vision of transitioning clinical contraception from the radical associations of the past, towards a new respectability as a legitimate medical technique and form of social welfare provision.

Abstract:
This thesis is an historical account of the development and dissemination of birth control knowledge in Scotland in the twentieth century up to 1975. The question posed is, given that Scotland in the twenty-first century has a higher rate of teenage pregnancies than most of Western Europe despite there being no restriction on the ability to access contraceptive advice, was advice always so readily available and if so from whom ? Post 1870 there was a pan European fertility decline which was mirrored in Scotland some forty years later. The debate amongst demographers and social historians is thus as to the causes of this fertility decline. Religion being cast as the impediment to the early development of the fertility decline ensured that an examination of the Roman Catholic versus Scottish Protestant views on birth control be explored. Historical accounts have considered that the desire for contraceptive advice was a phenomenon of the early years of the twentieth century and that letters to Marie Stopes were the first interactions between the general public and those competent to offer advice. However, the historical record shows that from the early years of the nineteenth century members of the public sought information on methods of birth control by writing to journals, a pattern that continued throughout the period covered by this thesis. Scotland remains distinctive from other parts of the UK by virtue of its separate legal system, both civil and criminal, its separate Church history with the parish church and state having been virtually one and the same and the rural parish church being a precursor of the local authorities. The employees of the local government authorities, the Medical Officers of Health were responsible, in agreement with their political masters of whatever hue, for the policies in relation to health and welfare adopted in a particular locality; in this case birth control advice. The administrative devolution of central government has meant that successive Scottish Secretaries of State have been able to obfuscate and hinder developments in Scotland which would have facilitated widespread dissemination of birth control advice and of course the fact that the NHS Acts in Scotland and England and Wales are distinct has ensured that legislative change has been delayed. The thesis draws upon medical and scientific journals and contemporary literature to set the scene by explicating the developments in the understanding of sexuality and reproductive physiology, a necessary precursor to the developments later in the twentieth century of the oral contraceptive pill and the impact that this preparation had on society, removing the procreative function of sexual intercourse from the hedonic. Thus freeing women from ‘the burden of pregnancy’ should they wish it, should it be available, from whom and at what cost. The politicians having debated from the 1930s to the 1970s the subject of contraceptive advice being available only to married women and initially, only available to those for whom a further pregnancy would be hazardous. Oral history testimony has been taken, and used to inform the discussion, from retired health care professionals, family planning nurses, GPs, family planning doctors, pharmacists and obstetricians as well as patients and retired clergymen who were involved in prescribing, dispensing, researching methods of contraception or in the case of the patients at the receiving end of the wisdom or ignorance of the professionals and of course in the case of the clergy advising on the moral questions in relation to the practice of birth control. In Glasgow, poor housing and social conditions, grassroots’ feminism and working class women were instrumental in establishing the first birth control clinics whereas in Edinburgh the Cooperative Women’s Guild organised public meetings to raise the issue and call on government to allow maternity centres to provide guidance and instruction in birth control to married women. In Aberdeen it was wealthy philanthropic women who promoted birth control ideals and facilitated the first birth control clinic in the north of Scotland. The issue however was politically sensitive, especially in the west of Scotland, as the Labour Party needed to secure the votes of the Roman Catholic Population. The medical profession were not at the forefront of providing this advice in part due to ignorance but also lack of interest and also not wishing to be seen as promoting immorality and offending the Church, a powerful body in Scotland. The Protestant and Catholic Churches in Scotland had an alliance condemning all acts of birth control until the 1930s when the clamour from the public forced politicians, heretofore virtually absent from the debate, to confirm what was and was not available at government expense. That guidance, similar to that offered in England, was not available to the public in Scotland as evidenced by contemporary accounts in the National Records of Scotland, merely highlights the differing attitudes of politicians in Scotland who at a local and national level were ever mindful not to risk offending the Roman Catholic Church’s teachings or risk suffering at the ballot box. Teaching of birth control techniques was absent from most medical schools in Scotland although Edinburgh University appointed a lecturer in family planning in 1946. Thus most young practitioners from Scottish medical schools remained ignorant and unable to help their patients even if willing to do so. Despite the Royal Commission on Population of 1949 recommending that advice on contraception to married persons be available, as part of the National Health Service, it was to take nearly another thirty years before contraceptive advice to all who wished it were freely available. In the intervening years the medical profession, although reluctant to become involved, had accepted initially that they could charge a fee for this private service and later that item of service payments for providing contraceptive advice was acceptable, although interviewees conceded that in many cases general practitioners were untrained to provide this service. This account of the history of the dissemination of birth control advice shows how the medical profession, initially uninterested in this subject, became, as reproductive physiology was better understood and with developments of hormonal manipulation of the menstrual cycle, to embrace contraception as a legitimate topic on which to provide advice to patients. The notion, of course, of general medical practitioners having responsibility for a group of patients unless as private practitioners was only apparent after the inception of the NHS.

Abstract:
Der Zellzyklus organisiert die Zellteilung, und kontrolliert die Replikation der DNA sowie die Weitergabe des Genoms an die nächste Zellgeneration. Er unterliegt einer strengen Kontrolle auf molekularer Ebene. Diese molekularen Kontrollmechanismen sind für das Überleben eines Organismus essentiell, da Fehler Krankheiten begüngstigen können. Vor allem Krebs ist assoziiert mit Abweichungen im Ablauf des Zellzyklus. Die Aufklärung solcher Kontrollmechanismen auf molekularer Ebene ermöglicht einerseits das Verständnis deren grundlegender Funktionsweise, andererseits können solche Erkenntnisse dazu beitragen, Methoden zu entwickeln um den Zellzyklus steuern zu können. Um die molekularen Abläufe des Zellzyklus in ihrer Gesamtheit besser zu verstehen, eignen sich computergestützte Analysen. Beim Zellzyklus handelt es sich um einen Signaltransduktionsweg. Die Eigenschaften dieser Prozesse stellen Rekonstruktion und Übersetzung in digital lesbare Formate vor besondere Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Skalierbarkeit, Simulierbarkeit und Parameterschätzung. Diese Studie präsentiert eine großskalige Netzwerkrekonstruktion des Zellzyklus des Modellorganismus Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hierfür wurde die reaction-contingency Sprache benutzt, die sowohl eine mechanistisch detaillierte Rekonstruktion auf molekularer Ebene zulässt, als auch deren Übersetzung in ein bipartites Boolesches Modell. Für das Boolesche Modell mit 2506 Knoten konnte ein zyklischer Attraktor bestimmt werden, der das Verhalten einer sich teilenden Hefezelle darstellt. Das Boolesche Modell reproduziert zudem das erwartete phänotypische Verhalten bei Aktivierung von vier Zellzyklusinhibitoren, und in 32 von 37 getesteten Mutanten. Die Rekonstruktion des Zellzyklus der Hefe kann in Folgestudien genutzt werden, um Signaltransduktionswege zu integrieren, die mit dem Zellzyklus interferieren, deren Schnittstellen aufzuzeigen, und dem Ziel, die molekularen Mechanismen einer ganzen Zelle abzubilden, näher zu kommen. Diese Studie zeigt zudem, dass eine auf reaction- contingency Sprache basierte Rekonstruktion geeignet ist, um ein biologisches Netzwerk konsistent mit empirischer Daten darzustellen, und gleichzeitig durch Simulation die Funktionalität des Netzwerkes zu überprüfen.
The survival of a species depends on the correct transmission of an intact genome from one generation to the next. The cell cycle regulates this process and its correct execution is vital for survival of a species. The cell cycle underlies a strict control mechanism ensuring accurate cell cycle progression, as aberrations in cell cycle progression are often linked to serious defects and diseases such as cancer. Understanding this regulatory machinery of the cell cycle offers insights into how life functions on a molecular level and also provides for a better understanding of diseases and possible approaches to control them. Cell cycle control is furthermore a complex mechanism and studying it holistically provides for understanding its collective properties. Computational approaches facilitate holistic cell cycle control studies. However, the properties of the cell cycle control network challenge large-scale in silico studies with respect to scalability, model execution and parameter estimation. This thesis presents a mechanistically detailed and executable large-scale reconstruction of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle control network based on reaction- contingency language. The reconstruction accounts for 229 proteins and consists of three individual cycles corresponding to the macroscopic events of DNA replication, spindle pole body duplication, and bud emergence and growth. The reconstruction translated into a bipartite Boolean model has, using an initial state determined with a priori knowledge, a cyclic attractor which reproduces the cyclic behavior of a wildtype yeast cell. The bipartite Boolean model has 2506 nodes and correctly responds to four cell cycle arrest chemicals. Furthermore, the bipartite Boolean model was used in a mutational study where 37 mutants were tested and 32 mutants found to reproduce known phenotypes. The reconstruction of the cell cycle control network of S. cerevisiae demonstrates the power of the reaction-contingency based approach, and paves the way for network extension with regard to the cell cycle machinery itself, and several signal transduction pathways interfering with the cell cycle.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the wives' perceptions of personal control over the process of childbirth were related to couples' choices and utilization of three birthing alternatives (home birth, unmedicated hospital birth, and medicated hospital birth). The wives' perceived control over the childbirth process was expected to vary inversely with the level of medical intervention in the birthing alternative chosen. The home birth mothers were expected to perceive themselves as having more control over childbirth than were the unmedicated hospital group mothers, and the unmedicated hospital group mothers more than the medicated hospital group mothers. The husbands' perception of their wives' perceived control in childbirth and their participation was also measured.

Abstract:
Rapid population growth is now one of the biggest socio-economic and consequently, health problems in the world. The significance of this dramatic increase in population becomes apparent when the limited possibilities of socio-economic growth are considered among developing countries. The use of modern contraceptives in order to control birth rates, on the other hand, is rather limited in these countries.
The present study investigates the knowledge and attitudes of family planning programs by Iranian males, who play a major role in all familial decision-making, including the practice of family planning. This research examines subjects' reasoning strategies about practicing family planning. A sample of sixty laborers with various levels of formal education were selected and some methods developed within the domain of cognitive psychology were used in analyzing the data.
The results showed that males, as proposed, play a vital role in decision-making regarding the practice of family planning. Formal education appears to have no significant impact on the subjects' knowledge and attitudes toward issues of family planning. Furthermore, early age of marriage, particularly with respect to the girls, appears to be an accepted phenomenon and has strong roots in the belief systems of the population.
This research has implications for developing educational programs in the domain of health. It is proposed that future research should devote considerable effort to better understand the role of the males in the process of decision-making regarding the practice of family planning.

Abstract:
The present study "Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Family Planning 'Methods in Rural Nepal" was conducted to assess the situation of fertility behavior and use of family planning methods. It attempted to collect reliable data on reproductive behavior; contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and family size preferences.The immediate objectives of the study were to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of family planning methods; to assess the contribution of governmental and non-governmental programs; and recommend appropriate measures and suggestions for the further improvement of the programs.As a representation of rural Nepal, Banganga Village planning office, and the households were randomly selected from the list by the team supervisor. Eligible households selected included all of those in which there was a currently married couple in which either spouse aged between 15 and 45 years of age were present. There were a total of 150 couples identified as eligible for interview and all were successfully interviewed.A structured interview schedule was developed by the researcher, which was sent to Nepal with detailed guidelines for training and management of interviewers. The final editing of all collected survey instruments was carried out by the researcher with the advice of the members of the thesis committee. Later, those instruments were coded and entered in the computer for the purpose of statistical analysis.Based on statistical analysis, it was found that 60.7 percent of the total respondents have heard of at least one of the methods of family planning. However, only 11.3 percent of them have ever used a particular method of family planning. The current use of contraception is also 11.3 percent which is slightly lower than the level found in a 1986 national survey (15.1%). This shows a great disparity between the knowledge and practice of family planning methods.The major reasons given by respondents for not using any family planning method were bad side effects and the desire to have more children. This suggests that program managers and policy makers in Nepal must develop improved information and communication strategies in order to increase the rate of acceptance of family planning.Of the 11.3 percent of the sample who are current users of contraceptive methods, sterilization constitutes as high as 82.4 percent which indicates that family planning is very popular insynonymous with sterilization. This clearly indicates that the concept of birth spacing has not been Nepal.A further finding was that the family planning program is reaching proportionately more literate than illiterate people. This necessitates formation of effective strategies by the concerned agencies which will increase the acceptance rate among illiterate people. This is extremely significant since more than 75 percent of the total population is still illiterate and the majority of them live in rural Nepal.

Abstract:
Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University
Women who are interested in controlling the timing of their pregnancies have many birth control and family planning options. The majority of women use exogenous forms of contraception, including oral contraceptive pills, hormone shots or patches, intra-uterine devices, or barriers such as condoms, sponges or diaphragms. Many of the exogenous methods have negative side effects including allergic reactions and increased risk of blood clotting, and cancer. Additionally, there can be religious objections to these methods. In an attempt to provide women other, natural, birth control options, an array of methods have been developed over time using knowledge of a woman's menstrual cycle.These methods are referred to as fertility awareness based methods because they track various symptoms of a woman's menstrual cycle to determine when she is fertile. Changes in the cervix, cervical mucus secretions, and basal body temperature indicate the fertile window when a woman is most likely to get pregnant. To avoid pregnancy, women using fertility awareness based methods abstain from unprotected intercourse during their fertile windows. Using cycle length and observed physical changes, six methods have been developed. The goal of this thesis is to review and compare the methods. Of the developed methods, the Standard Days method is a calendar method with an average method effective rate of 95% and an average typical-use effective rate of 88%. The Billings Ovulation method, a cervical mucus only method, has an average method effective rate of 98.5% and an average typical-use effective rate of 82%. The Creighton Model of Fertility Care System, also a cervical mucus only method, has an average method effective rate of 99% and an average typical-use effective rate of 87%. A simpler, cervical mucus only method is the TwoDay method which has an average method effective rate of 96% and a typical-use effective rate of 91%, higher than the other cervical mucus methods, likely due to its ease of use. The symptothermal method uses a combination of symptoms to create a double-check system for entering and exiting the fertile window. The method effective rate is the highest at 99.5% and the average typical-use effective rate is 95%. This method is the most effective, but also the most difficult to learn. Finally, the Marquette Model uses cervical mucus and an electronic fertility monitor to indicate the fertile window. The average method effective rate is 97.8% and the average typical-use effective rate is 83%. [TRUNCATED]

Abstract:
The overall objective of this study is to present the factors that influence the Black female adolescent's utilization of birth control methods. To attain this objective, the following factors were addressed by this researcher: (a) peer influence, (b) knowledge of reproduction, birth control, and sexuality, (c) family relationships and characteristics, (d) sex education programs, and (e) relationships with partners. A descriptive research design was used in this study. A self-administered questionnaire that was developed by the researcher was given to Black female adolescents at the Westlake Medical Group Clinic and at Holmes Hall Dormitory at Clark Atlanta University. A population of 40 teenagers ranging in age from 16 to 19 was obtained from these facilities. The Westlake Medical Group provides various medical services, including prenatal, postpartum, family planning and regular gynecological services. Holmes Hall is the freshman dormitory for Clark Atlanta University and houses primarily freshmen and sophomore students. The results of the data indicate that peer influence, level of knowledge, family characteristics, sex education programs, and relationships with partners all influence adolescents' decision-making process concerning the use or nonuse of birth control. The study attempted to provide a clear understanding of adolescent contraceptive utilization and sexuality.

Abstract:
The provision of contraceptive services has been identified as one of the most important developments in primary care. Although the history ofthe birth control movement is well documented, the contribution made to the provision ofservices by nurses and midwives and the actual development oftheir role, is conspicuous by its absence. Similarly, the history ofnursing has tended to ignore the work ofthose at the 'sharp' end ofpractice. This thesis addresses both lacunae by investigating the work of the J • ~ • midwife-nurses in the Marie StopeS' Mothers' Clinics; focusing on the London and the Caravan Clinics between 1921 and 1931. The aims 0 f the study were; to trace the historical development of birth control nursing within the Marie Stopes Mothers' Clinic locating it in its social, political, medical, professional and legal.contexts; to determine the lay and medical perspectives which influenced the development ofbirth control nursing within the Marie Stopes Mothers' Clinics. This historical study uses primary archival and secondary sources supplementedby a modified prosopographical technique and oral history interviews, to provide a distinctive record of the role undertaken by the midwife-nurses in the first birth control clinic in Britain. The role ofthe midwife-nurses was unique, providing what was arguably the first nurseled birth control service in this country. In exploring the expansion ofthe service, the thesis exposes previously unexplored links between Lamberts, a commercial organisation, Abertillery Hospital and the Stopes' clinics. An exploration of the planning and development of the Caravan Clinics uncovers the way in which the service operated and the difficult conditions experienced by the midwife-nurses. Three issues of relevance to the history of nursing and contemporary practice are also revealed; the way in which the role was established: how the training for nurses working in the field of contraception and sexual health evolved; and the identification ofthe roots ofsexual health outreach services. The consequences of a disagreement between Stopes and the National Birth Control Council (NBCC) produced two distinct approaches to the delivery of care and the role of the staff. The traditional handmaiden approach continued in dinics under the auspices ofthe NBCC. The use of the speculum acted as a means to maintain the dominance of the medical profession, a situation that continued well into the 1990s. The thesis argues that had Stopes and her organisation remained within the amalgamated organisation, she may have inculcated her nurse-led approach into the work of these other clinics, with a subsequent impact on the role and training of nurses and midwives throughout the ensuing decades. Studying this group of midwife-nurses provides insight into the realities of clinical practice within what was, at the time, a controversial area ofpractice. The study has contributed to a wider appreciation of the history of both nursing and birth control while also revealing the links to contemporary clinical practice in the field of sexual health.

Abstract:
It is now well accepted by gynecologists that a woman can conceive from an act of intercourse for a maximum of seven days of her menstrual cycle [l]. The reliability of natural family planning methods depends on identifying this window of fertility without ambiguity. Several natural family planning (NFP) methods have been used extensively and with some success. For decades, cycle length and BBT history have been used to forecast the most likely days of ovulation. When greater precision is needed, serum LH assays or ultrasound techniques are used. With the recent development of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, various kits have become commercially available to provide a simple, self-administered, and rapid test for detection of the midcycle urinary LH surge [2]. Some of these methods are fairly reliable and accurate. However, failures in these methods still occur, and some other problems concerning accuracy, simplicity, cost, and comfort have not been solved yet [3]. In addition, other factors in NFP methods, such as the user, the procedure, and others, have been demonstrated to be important sources of errors.

Abstract:

Spousal communication on issues related to family planning and reproductive health is important in influencing fertility limiting behaviour. In South Africa, studies analyzing the relationship between spousal communication and family planning behaviour are virtually nonexistant. Understanding this relationship is critical for less developed countries where fertility remains at substantially high levels. In most countries, the isolation of men's participation in family planning issues is acknowledged as one of the major causes of poor performance of most family planning programs. In addition, lack of spousal communication about family planning is identified as one of the reasons for low levels of contraceptive use among women. The main objective of this study was to assess spousal communication on contraceptive use and family planning behaviour in three distinct areas in the Richtersveld (Northern Cape) area.

Abstract:
This work examines the series of cases known as the 'wrongful birth' cases, that is those in which a physician or surgeon has been sued by the parent or parents of a child on the basis of his negligence either in the provision of a family planning procedure or in the advice and information he gives regarding that procedure, as a result of which a child is born that would not have been born but for that negligence. The reported and unreported cases from the English courts are analysed, and a number of North American cases are referred to also, this in order to predict how the Scottish courts will or should deal with claims for wrongful birth. The thesis is written from the point of view of Scots law, and the English cases, though important, are not determinative. I have attempted to state the law of Scotland as it stands on 29th February 1988.

Abstract:
Whereas the dramatic struggle for the suffrage has received extensive academic attention the feminist campaigns that came immediately after 1918 have been largely ignored. This thesis argues that there was vigorous grassroots feminist activity in the inter-war years which can be seen in the activities of the Society for the Promotion of Birth Control Clinics (SPBCC) who in the post-suffrage era explored their new opportunities. Themes running through this thesis include feminism, grassroots activity, locality and modernism. This research utilises the theoretical framework of comparative social movement theory as well as historical research. A Collective Biography of SPBCC committee members has been constructed to give a profile of activists. This thesis argues that the debate within the post-suffrage society the National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship gave backing to the new feminist master frame which emphasised women's role as mothers. This strengthened the SPBCC which campaigned to give working class mothers the knowledge to limit their families, something available privately to middle class mothers. This research explores how the SPBCC tried to pursue its case by creating alliances with the National Council of Women and the Women's Citizenship Association,This study shows how local SPBCC groups attempted to prove the need for birth control clinics by mobilising and founding clinics. Middle class women played an important part in this direct action, but working class women, either individually or from the Women's Cooperative Guilds also participated. Class differences were important, but this research shows that volunteers, who were all mothers themselves, stressed the common bond of motherhood. The SPBCC both locally and nationally strove to counter the condemnation of the medical profession and the Churches. The interplay of religious and political forces is seen in case studies in Stockport, Glasgow, Manchester and Salford, Liverpool. The thesis compares the birth control strategies of the confrontational birth control pioneer Marie Stopes with the more analytical approach of Eleanor Rathbone of NUSEC. This research reveals that some SPBCC members felt they had to make uncomfortable choices between class and gender allegiances or feminism and eugenics. This thesis demonstrates how the SPBCC tested the new political structures by attempting to place birth control on the agenda of national political parties, particularly the Labour Party. However, there was more success in building birth control policy advocacy coalitions at the local level. In 1931 the Labour Government issued Memorandum 153/MCW which allowed municipal clinics to provide birth control advice but this thesis questions to what extent this was a victory. Arguably the SPBCC did not achieve its main objective but it did empower its feminist members in a wide range of political activities.
