Jacob, Rebecca. "Lipid bilayers and their interactions with the antimicrobial peptide LL37: a TIR Raman study." Thesis, KTH, Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE), 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-207018.
Full textAbstract:
As a direct consequence of the misuse of antibiotics since its first discovery, bacteria have developed extensive resistance mechanisms making them once again potential lethal threats. This eventuality has triggered a vast research effort from scientists worldwide to find solutions to mitigate antimicrobial resistance. One such option is the identification of new potential antimicrobial agents, like for example antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Various methods have been applied to evaluate the properties and determine the complex mechanism of AMPs. However, the details of the mechanism remain unknown and hence the work in this project seeks to examine the suitability of using TIR Raman, a vibrational spectroscopy technique which is sufficiently surface sensitive to study the interaction of AMPs in contact with lipid bilayers, which are just a few nanometres thick. In order to evaluate the information that could be extracted from TIR Raman, measurement of solid supported lipid bilayers in the absence of peptides were first carried out. In particular, the lipid DMPC with a phase transition close to room temperature, was measured at various temperatures to determine spectral changes associated with the transition. For the peptide-membrane interactions, the AMP LL37 was put into contact with solid supported lipid bilayers modelling the cell membranes of bacteria (DOPE, DOPG) or humans (DOPC) respectively. The data clearly indicates that the membrane composition, and specifically the lipid head group charge, play an important role in the peptide-membrane interactions. In the bilayers mimicking bacteria cell membranes, the peptide either absorbed onto or inserted into the bilayer. In contrast, for the bilayer modelling a human cell membrane, no significant variations were detected, indicating no interaction with LL37. The findings presented in this work generally coincide with similar research of LL37 using other techniques. At hand of the herein presented data, TIR Raman has proven suitable and effective in detecting effects of antimicrobial peptides in contact with model lipid bilayers, and hence can be recommended for further studies.Som en direkt följd av missbruket av antibiotika sedan det först upptäcktes, har bakterier utvecklat omfattande resistensmekanismer vilket föranlett dem att återigen utgöra potentiellt dödlig hot. Denna situation har manat fram en väsentlig forskningsinsats från forskare världen över att hitta lösningar för att minska antimikrobiell resistens. Ett sådant alternativ har varit identifieringen av nya potentiella antimikrobiella substanser, så som till exempel antimikrobiella peptider. Ett flertal metoder har använts för att både evaluera peptiders egenskaper och fastställa deras komplexa mekanism. Detta till trots förblir de exakta detaljerna i mekanismen okända, vilket föranlett arbetet i detta projekt att undersöka lämpligheten i att använda TIR Raman, en vibrational-spektroskopisk metod som är tillräckligt ytkänslig för att studera interaktionen hos antimikrobiella peptider i kontakt med lipidmembran, vilka endast är några få nanometer tjocka. För att evaluera informationen som kan utvinnas med TIR Raman, utfördes först mätningar av lipidmembran, skapade på ett solitt underlag, utan tillägg av peptider. Mer noggrant, har lipiden DMPC med en fasövergång nära vid rumstemperatur, mätts vid olika temperaturer för att fastställa spektrala variationer associerade till övergången. För peptid-membran interaktionerna, sattes den antimikrobiella peptiden LL37 i kontakt med lipidmembran som modellerar cellmembranet hos bakterier (DOPE, DOPG) respektive människor (DOPC). Mätdatan indikerar tydligt att membrankompositionen, och där specifikt laddningen av lipidens huvudgrupp, spelar en viktig roll i membran-peptid interaktionerna. För lipidmembranen som imiterar bakteriella cellmembran, adsorberade peptiden till membranet eller integrerades in i det. Till skillnad från detta, kunde inga signifikanta variationer detekteras för lipidmembranet som modellerade ett mänskligt membran vilket indikerar att det inte interagerar med peptiden LL37. Upptäckterna som presenteras i detta arbete sammanfaller generellt med andra, liknande studier där andra instrument använts för att undersöka LL37. Det kan ur materialet som presenterats här utläsas att TIR Raman visat sig lämpligt och effektivt i detekteringen av antimikrobiella peptider i kontakt med modeller av lipidmembran, och kan därav rekommenderas för fortsatta studier.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a novel optical communication technique that provides a second, low data rate channel on an existing high-speed fiber optic link. The second channel is derived using an acousto optic fiber phase modulator and interferometeric receiver. This method modulates the optical phase of the primary high speed optical signal with a low frequency sine wave. At the receiving end of the low speed path, an interferometer and band pass fiber are used to recover the low-speed signal. Information is carried on the low frequency sine wave by use of FSK modulation. The method is noninvasive in that the low-speed channel is derived without electrically, optically or physically affecting the performance of the high-speed optical path. The method is ideal for overlaying network management channels on a fiber network. The thesis includes both analysis and experimental verification of the technique.

Full textAbstract:
Doug and Mike Starn: Evolution from Photography to Public Art investigates the pioneering installations and public art by Doug and Mike Starn, establishes their position within the complete oeuvre and examines the confluence of media they have worked in, while situating the artists and their work within the contemporary art historic context. Intrinsic characteristics of the Starn brothers’ work are the principles of interconnectedness, continuity, duality and change, a continuous evolution combined with a stunning ability to reinvent their work, redefining entire art genres in the process. Identical twins Doug and Mike Starn, born in 1961 and included in the 1987 Whitney Biennial at the age of 26, work collaboratively. The primary medium of photography characterizes their early work, evolving in the 1990s to include artist books, large-scale video projections, and installations. Incidentally, their first permanent public art commission is tied to the reconstruction of New York’s infrastructure following the tragedy of September 11, 2001. The goal is to delineate context, process, and significance of the artists’ foray into public art. An analysis and interpretation of artistic production, context, partnerships, process, scale and reception will reveal the transition from stellar gallery production to installation art and exceptional public art. Highlights of the pair’s stellar career include the completion of two important public art projects in New York City in 2008 and 2010, one permanent and one temporary: the permanent public art environment See it split, see it change on the concourse of South Ferry Subway Station at the tip of Manhattan and the temporary, monumental Big Bambú installation on the Metropolitan Museum’s roof garden. These outstanding works were preceded by years of artistic inquiry and development in the genre of photography, whose path the study explores.Das Œuvre von Doug und Mike Starn spannt den Bogen von der Fotografie zur Kunst am Bau und zur Kunst im öffentlichen Raum. Zwischen diesen Polen bewegt sich die Entwicklung der Künstlerzwillinge, die sich in ihrer Zusammenarbeit mit den Themen Licht, Kontinuität und Vergänglichkeit beschäftigen. Als junge Künstler entwickelten sie groß-formatige, mit Klebeband zusammengesetzte Foto-Collagen, die bereits 1987 zur Beteiligung am Whitney Biennial führten. Zu den Höhepunkten ihres künstlerischen Schaffens gehören zwei wichtige Projekte im öffentlichen Raum mit Standort New York. See it split, see it change (2008) wurde für die South Ferry Transitstation geschaffen und die monumentale, temporäre Installation Big Bambú (2010) war auf dem Dach des Metropolitan Museum of Art installiert. Ersteres Werk ist die umfangreichste Glasinstallation der New Yorker öffentlichen Verkehrsbetriebe, letzteres die größte Außenausstellung in der Geschichte des Metropolitan Museum. Den bahnbrechenden Arbeiten der Starns gingen zwei Jahrzehnte künstlerischer Entwicklung voraus, deren Zusammenhang mit dem späteren Werk in dieser Studie aufgezeigt wird. Sie steht im Brennpunkt technischer und politischer Umwälzungen, die durch fortschreitende Digitalisierung und den 11. September geprägt sind.

Musso, Claudio <1982>. "Fluxus. Prima, durante, dopo." Doctoral thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2014. http://amsdottorato.unibo.it/6706/.
Full textAbstract:
Fluxus è stato definito il più radicale e sperimentale movimento artistico degli anni Sessanta. Dalla prima comparsa ad oggi è stato osannato, analizzato, dimenticato e riscoperto molte volte, tuttora però rimane una delle più grandi incognite critiche della storia dell’arte del Novecento. La ricerca si sviluppa secondo uno schema tripartito: indagare origini, ascendenze e ispirazioni; collocare e contestualizzare il periodo di nascita e sviluppo; esaminare influenze e lasciti. Attraverso un confronto di manifesti, scritti autografi e opere si è cercato di verificare punti di contatto e di continuità tra Fluxus e le Avanguardie Storiche, con particolare riferimento a Futurismo e Dadaismo. Successivamente si è cercato di ricostruire le dinamiche che hanno portato, alla fine degli anni Cinquanta, al definirsi di un terreno fertile dal quale sono germinate esperienze strettamente legate quali Happening, Performance Art e lo stesso Fluxus, del quale si sono ripercorsi i cosiddetti “anni eroici” per evidenziarne le caratteristiche salienti. Nella terza sezione sono state individuate diverse ipotesi di continuazione dell’attitudine Fluxus, dal percorso storico-filologico dei precoci tentativi di musealizzazione, alle eredità dirette e indirette sulle generazioni successive di artisti, fino alla individuazione di idee e concetti la cui attualità rende Fluxus un elemento imprescindibile per la comprensione della cultura contemporanea.Fluxus has been called the most radical and experimental art movement of the sixties. From the first appearance it has been praised, analyzed, forgotten and rediscovered many times, but still remains one of the great critical unknowns of the Art History of the twentieth century. The research develops according to a tripartite scheme: to investigate the origins and the inspirations; to place and contextualize the period of the birth and development; to examine influences and legacies. Through a comparison of manifestos, autograph texts and works has tried to verify points of contact and continuity between Fluxus and the Avant-garde, with particular reference to Futurism and Dadaism. Then the research tried to reconstruct the dynamics that led to the end of the fifties, to be defined as a fertile ground from which germinated experiences - closely related - such as Happenings, Performance Art and Fluxus as well, which it retraced the so-called "heroic years" to highlight the salient features. In the third section, several hypotheses of the Fluxus-attitude have been identified, from the historical-philological path of the early attempts of "musealization", the direct and indirect inheritance on later generations of artists, up to the identification of ideas and concepts whose actuality makes Fluxus an essential element for the understanding of contemporary culture.

Dog parks are becoming increasingly popular in urban areas where little space is available for interactions with dogs off-leash. Dog parks should help the well-being of the owners and ensure a sense of security for themselves and their canines. However, a poorly designed dog park or dog-friendly park can be difficult to deal with and can even increase the risk of incident among dogs. This research asks how can a dog park, or dog friendly park increase the interactions between owners and maintain a positive design aesthetic while providing a functional outdoor space.

Full textAbstract:
In collaboration with HappyTail, a Swedish company developing a mobile application for dog owners, this qualitative research study examines and identifies important factors, for developers or other stakeholders, to have in mind when developing mobile applications that aim to support dog health. According to behavioural scientists, there needs to be a bridge between health themed mobile applications and behavioural change theories in order to achieve desirable results. Therefore, literature on dog health as well as on behavioural and persuasive technologies were reviewed. To fully understand dog owners’ behaviours, empirical data was collected from five in-depth interviews with dog owners recruited from groups on Facebook. The data collected, in combination with the reviewed literature, results in increased understanding of dog owners’ behaviours in relation to their dogs’ health, their sources of motivation and inspiration, and how persuasive technologies can affect their behaviours towards their dogs. It turned out that psychological aspects, such as the relationship between the dog and dog owner, was crucial among the interviewees, and that they prefer to use dog themed mobile applications with features such as social support and tailored content as parts of the design. Finally, ethical aspects that need to be considered when including dogs as stakeholders in new technologies were discussed. The result is valuable for researchers investigating dog owners’ behaviour as well as for those developing new technology, especially mobile applications, with focus on dog health.I samarbete med HappyTail, ett svenskt företag som utvecklar en mobilapplikation för hundägare, syftar den här kvalitativa undersökningen till att identifiera viktiga faktorer som personer verksamma inom applikationsutveckling med fokus på hundhälsa bör ha i åtanke under utvecklingsskedet. Enligt forskare inom beteendevetenskap är det viktigt att det finns en bro mellan mobilapplikationer med hälsotema och befintliga teorier inom området beteendeförändring för att kunna uppnå önskvärda resultat. Därför har litteratur som berör hundens hälsa samt viktiga faktorer för beteendeförändring i samband med utveckling av ny teknik beaktats. För att få ökad förståelse för hundägares beteende utfördes fem djupgående intervjuer med deltagare rekryterade från hundrelaterade grupper på Facebook. Tillsammans med den granskade litteraturen resulterade den insamlade datan i en djupare inblick i hundägares liv, vilka faktorer som motiverar och inspirerar dem till att ta hand om sin egen såväl som sin hunds hälsa, och hur teknik bör vara utformad för att påverka dem till att ändra beteende gentemot sin hund. Det visade sig bland annat att relationen mellan hund och hundägare var extra viktig för deltagarnas syn på sin hunds hälsa, och att social support och personalisering är grundstenar för en intressant mobilapplikation med hundrelaterat innehåll. Avslutningsvis diskuteras även vilka etiska aspekter som är nödvändiga att beakta när hundar inkluderas i utvecklingen av ny teknik. Undersökningens resultat har ett värde för forskare som specialiserar sig på hundägares beteende samt för utvecklare av ny teknik som strävar efter att förbättra hundars hälsa.

Educa Dog es un proyecto que busca educar mascotas con problemas de conducta, que busca diferenciarse empleando métodos innovadores de obtener la atención del can, además de ofrecer el servicio a domicilio. La idea de negocio se presenta a raíz de la inquietud por encontrar un lugar donde se eduque un cachorro sin que este sea maltratado o sufra estrés, de esta forma se pudo identificar una necesidad que no es cubierta por el mercado actual. Informes realizados por empresas de investigación, demostraron mediante encuestas que solo en Lima el 56% de los hogares tiene mascotas en casa y de este porcentaje el 79% cuenta por lo menos con un can, traduciendo esta cifra a números, se puede decir que 1 millón de hogares en Lima tienen canes, lo que supone una alta demanda en servicios relacionados a mascotas, en este caso en particular para canes. A su vez, el creciente respeto por los animales, la comunidad animalista y los “Dog Lover” propicia el ambiente adecuado para establecer una idea diferenciada, con un potencial mercado interesado en invertir en el aprendizaje de una conducta adecuada de su mascota. Por todo lo mencionado anteriormente, creemos que es necesario cubrir esta serie de requerimientos que han surgido estos últimos años por los criadores de perros, en especial a aquellos que han desarrollado un gran nivel de afinidad por su mascota.Educa Dog is a project that seeks to educate pets with behavioral problems, which seeks to differentiate using innovative methods of getting the attention of the dog, in addition to offering home delivery. The business idea arises from the concern to find a place where you can educate a puppy without it being mistreated or suffer stress, this way you could identify a need that is not covered by a very substantial market. It was possible to identify that only in Lima 56% of households have pets at home and of this percentage 79%, translating this figure into numbers, it can be said that 1 million households in Lima have dogs, which supposes a high demand in services related to pets, in this case in particular for dogs. In turn, the growing respect for animals, the animal community and the "Dog Lover" propitiates the right environment to establish a differentiated idea, with a potential market interested in investing in the learning of appropriate behavior of your pet. For all the above, we believe it is necessary to cover this series of needs that have emerged in recent years by dog breeders, especially those who have developed a high level of affinity for their pet.

Full textAbstract:
The Dong is a minority mainly living in southwest China. The Dong people do not have written language, the dissemination of knowledge mainly relies on the oral education and practice, forming a unique process and method of oral education, of architectural construction and the use of architecture. In this thesis these three processes are linked together and understood to produce ‘Oral Architecture’. Oral architecture is a process through which the Dong architectural activity is reproduced and passed down through generations, letting people participate and observe phenomena, and thus apprehend the meaning of things and community. It is built on the relationships between people, activity and building. The series of activities that relate to buildings are simultaneously the motivation to construct intra-community relationships, to maintain traditions, and promote the broader process of living closely within their particular environment. Through field research, interviews, literature review, case studies and other methods, I have collected information about the process and methods of the Dong oral education, of architectural construction, and the use and meaning of their architecture. Informed by architectural phenomenology, the thesis offers a qualitative analysis of this data in order to summarise and understand the mode and concept of Dong oral architecture. The structure of the thesis provides a broad introduction to Dong society and culture, before analysing the education and practice of Dong Carpentry; the construction of the Dong House and the Drum Tower (the most important public building in any Dong village). Concluding chapters focus on how systems of meaning and ‘reading’ are supported by Dong building and their practices of everyday life, as well as the significant events of birth, marriage and death. All translations from Chinese are by the author unless otherwise stated.

The church has gone from being almost completely undistinguishable from the sovereign power during the Russian Empire to nearly being completely wiped out by the times of the communist regime in the soviet era, who saw it as a threat to the revolutionary ideas. But how is the Russian Orthodox Church viewed in today's Russia? The aim of this study is to analyse the ways in which the ruling government is trying to portray the Russian Orthodox Church and its role in society on the largest and oldest television channel in Russia, Channel One Russia. How is the Russian Orthodox Church legitimized by the power and what are the government's reasons for the strong cooperation with the Russian Orthodox Church? This essay is based upon the theory of cultural production and its insight into that the fact that the dominant groups in a society have more power to influence the public discourse. In order to remain dominant these groups will try to create legitimacy for the social structures which have granted them the dominant position, one way to achieve this is by using the mass media as a tool. The television broadcasts that have served as the material for this essay have been analysed by using a combination of qualitative content analysis and a critical discourse analysis. The results of the study show that the Russian Orthodox Church is being depicted in an overwhelmingly positive light on the television channel. It is being portrayed as an integral part of the Russian identity, as an element that cannot be separated from the Russian people and their history. The Russian Orthodox Church is being viewed as a shield against the anomie of the outside world that prevents the country's degradation into a chaotic darkness. In this constructed view, where all the positive attributes are being assigned to one’s own group while condemning everything foreign the Russian Orthodox Church serves as a supporting force for the country's politics as well as a tool uniting the nation around the Russian leaders.

Uppsatsens syfte har varit att se på hur Cesar Millan, ”The Dog Whisperer”, i programmet ”Mannen som talar med hundar” skapar förtroende hos TV-tittarna. Undersökningen har studerat den talade retoriken i avsnitt ett av första säsongen av programserien. Analysen har gjorts utifrån den klassiska retorikens övertygandemedel, entechnoi pisteis där uppsatsen därefter valt att lyfta fram det övertygandemedel av ethos, pathos och logos som varit mest framträdande. Resultatet av analysen visar att Millans användning av pathos framträder tydligast. Millan kan även uppfattas visa eunoia gentemot TV-publiken när han ställer frågar till hundägarna i programmet, då en känsla av visat intresse för TV-tittarnas nyfikenhet uppstår. Samtidigt använder sig Millan av en stilnivå liksom ordval som är anpassade efter TV-tittarna och kan anses vara till hans fördel i hans syfte att övertyga. Slutligen är Millans argumentation varierande och utgår från både enthymem och paradigm, vilket kan anses fördelaktigt om man vill skapa förtroende.

Full textAbstract:
Il tumore del polmone e una delle neoplasie più diagnosticate dal 1985 e rimane ancora oggi la causa più frequente di morte cancro-correlata nel mondo. Una resezione polmonare anatomica completa continua ad essere il cardine della terapia per il tumore non a piccole cellule.
Perdite aeree prolungate (PAL) sono la più comune complicanza dopo una chirurgia polmonare e sono state riportate con un’incidenza compresa tra il 3-26%, simile sia nelle resezioni polmonari per via toracotomica sia in quelle per via toracoscopica.
Fattori di rischio descritti sono scissure interlobari incomplete, patologie polmonari sottostanti (come enfisema, fibrosi, tubercolosi o neoplasie), aderenze pleuriche,
pazienti anziani (>75 anni) e bassa capacita di diffusione.
Lo sviluppo di strumentazione all’avanguardia e di nuove tecniche chirurgiche ha contribuito a ridurre l’incidenza di queste complicanze.
Considerando l’alto impatto clinico e socio-economico di queste problematiche, e stata inoltre sviluppata una varietà di complementari naturali e materiali sintetici molti utili nella gestione delle perdite aeree.Lung cancer is one of the most diagnosed cancer in 1985 and still remains the most common cause of cancer-related death in the world. A full anatomical lung resection remains the mainstay of therapy for non-small cell cancer. Prolonged air leak (PAL) are the most common complication following a lung surgery and were reported with an incidence of between 3-26%, similar in both pulmonary resection by thoracotomy and in those thoracoscopic. Risk factors described are incomplete interlobar fissures, lung diseases underlying (such as emphysema, fibrosis, tuberculosis or malignancy), pleural adhesions, elderly patients (> 75 years) and low capacity to spread. The development of modern equipment and new surgical techniques has helped to reduce the incidence of these complications. Considering the high clinical impact and socio-economic problems of these, and was also developed a variety of complementary natural and synthetic materials useful in the management of many air leak.

Full textAbstract:
The beneficial of keeping a dog and the booming Chinese pet dog market allowed many Chinese people considering owning a dog. However, how owners treat their dogs are extremely different. Some of them consider dogs as their child while others think dogs are just objects with special function. These different attitude leads to dog owners’ different consumption intention towards dog-related products and services. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the dog owner’s intention of buying or keeping a dog in China. The theory of planned behavior was used to analyzed in this thesis. The goal was to figure out the factors that influence owners’ intention of buying or keeping a dog. To investigate our purpose, the qualitative method with eleven semi-interviews were conducted in this thesis, and we analyzed the data using the method of qualitative content analysis. The results were shown from attitude, subject norm and perceived behavior, which comes from the theory of planned behavior.

Ce mémoire présente différentes techniques permettant de produire des impulsions lumineuses très brèves. Dans un premier temps, nous avons conçu et réalisé un laser nd:yag continu a modes couples activement et double en fréquence. Ce laser délivre des impulsions dont la largeur a mi-hauteur en intensité est voisine de 60 picosecondes a 532 nanomètres, repetitives a 82 mhz. La puissance moyenne des impulsions est suffisante pour permettre le pompage d'un laser a colorant en mode synchrone. Ce dernier délivre des impulsions lumineuses dont la durée est voisine de 10 picosecondes et répétitives a 82 mhz. L'ensemble du système a été caractérise en utilisant des caméras a balayage de fente en mode sinusoïdal ou en mode monocoup. Nous avons ensuite étudié la possibilité de produire des impulsions femtosecondes (10##1#5 s) en comprimant les impulsions délivrées par un laser a colorant a deux jets (milieu amplificateur rh6g), absorbant saturable (dodci). Avant compression, ces impulsions ont une largeur a mi-hauteur en intensité voisine de une picoseconde et sont répétitives a environ 80 mhz. Nous avons pu comprimer ces impulsions jusqu'a des durees voisines de 130 femtosecondes. Les résultats expérimentaux sont très proches des prévisions théoriques. Enfin, nous avons produit directement des impulsions lumineuses femtosecondes a partir d'une cavité laser dont le milieu amplificateur est un cristal de saphir dope au titane (ti:al#2o#3). Dans un premier temps, le couplage des modes est réalisé a l'aide d'un modulateur acousto-optique. Dans cette configuration, le laser produit des impulsions dont la durée est aussi courte que 10 picosecondes, répétitives a 125 mhz et dont le domaine d'accord en longueur d'onde est limite par les miroirs entre 72 et 800 nanomètres. Dans un second temps, le couplage des modes est réalisé en utilisant un absorbant saturable (hitci) et la dispersion intracavite est aju.

Barrie, Joan. "Hyperlipidaemia in the dog." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1993. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3895/.
Full textAbstract:
Hyperlipidaemia describes increased plasma concentrations of cholesterol and/or triglyceride and may arise from primary, often inherited defects in lipoprotein metabolism or appear secondary to systemic disease. The aim of this study was to characterise the abnormalities of lipoprotein metabolism responsible for hyperlipidaemia in the dog, to establish their effect upon the health of the individual, and to evaluate approaches to therapy. A combined ultracentrifugation/precipitation technique for the measurement of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL) was adapted and validated for use with canine plasma. Alternative methods of analysis were evaluated, but none of the commercially available precipitation reagents for the measurement of human lipoproteins were found to be suitable for use in the dog. Lipoprotein electrophoresis was useful in the investigation of hyperlipidaemic patients by allowing the identification of other lipoprotein classes, namely chylomicrons, HDL1 and B-VLDL. The effects of age, breed, sex and health status on lipoprotein concentrations in the dog were established. The HDL concentration was greater in entire females than males and certain disease processes were found to displaycharacteristic lipoprotein abnormalities. Dogs with diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism presented with defects in the metabolism of LDL and HDL and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, while hyperadrenocorticism, obstructive jaundice and protein-losing nephropathies were predominantly associated with abnormalities of cholesterol metabolism. A decreased lipoprotein lipase activity was partially responsible for the hyperlipidaemia in hypothyroid dogs. Overt hyperlipidaemia was not identified in obese dogs, but aberrations of triglyceride metabolism were identified by kinetic analysis and found to be a result of decreased lipoprotein lipase activity. Impaired triglyceride clearance in the postprandial period may therefore predispose obese dogs to the development of acute pancreatitis.

Full textAbstract:
'Pudovkin and Pavlov's Dog' is concerned with a group of films which are well known but comparatively little discussed. It analyses Pudovkin's major silent films (Mother, The End of St. Petersburg, Storm over Asia and Mechanics of the Brain) and his writing on film in the 1920's, attempting to investigate how one area of work might illuminate the other and how this places Pudovkin amongst his contemporaries, notably Kuleshov and Eisenstein. The influence of Pavlov in Soviet art practice and theory is similarly frequently cited but rarely examined. This thesis attempts to answer some basic questions as to why his research should have been appropriated when and how it was. Crucial to this project is the examination of Mechanics of the Brain, showing how Pavlov was popularly (rather than academically) understood. It also tries to establish what means Pudovkin employed to assemble an adequate filmic exposition of Pavlov's scientific proof, as an opening to his notion of logical construction in general: Pudovkin repudiates Vertov's theoretical principle that the camera can simply seize material unawares from life. Pavlov was rooted in and contributed to the same intellectual tradition in which Marxism was founded, but the Soviets looked to Pavlov for scientific (that is to say, objective) corroboration of their undertakings. The thesis is organised around a number of debates in which this paradox is seen to operate, each accompanied by analysis of a particular Pudovkin film.

Son of a Dog is inspired by a real-life figure whose exploits captured the Nigerian public imagination in the 1980s. Famously known as Ovbigbo (“The Law”), Lawrence Anini unleashed a nationwide reign of terror against law and order. Set against the backdrop of the political turmoil following the Nigerian civil war, the novel traces Anini’s formative years in menial jobs to his rise to the leadership of a notorious criminal gang. It fuses the established facts of his short meteoric career with my imagined version of his inner life and the contemporary myths that sprung up around his legend. It finally crosses the boundary between the real and the mythic as Lawrence Anini becomes truly invincible and elusive after a lust-struck encounter with a fantastical character. I draw inspiration from the dark visceral fiction of Michael Cisco and Brian Evenson, AyiKwei Armah’s unflinchingly descriptive prose and E.C. Osondu’s sharp contemporary humour.

Full textAbstract:
The CDC estimates that 4.7 million Americans get bitten by dogs every year. Most of these dog bite injuries involve a family-owned pet and a household member or person familiar to the dog. This capstone examines six topics: dog bite injuries and its impact on communities; new strategies for dog bite injury prevention; incidence of dog bite injuries requiring emergency room treatment among children from 2001 to 2008; dog bite injury healthcare costs; implementation of dog bite injury prevention; and legal issues and outcomes in dog bite injury. A novel approach to dog bite injury research should include a socio-ecological perspective that captures complex risk factors surrounding behavior and sociological background of dog owners before, during, and after dog bite injury incidence that is collected in a national integrated data system and translates prevention science effectively according to the CDC Injury Research Agenda.

L’objet de cette thèse est le développement et l’étude de la photoréactivité de TiO2, absorbant dans le visible et ayant des propriétés autonettoyantes et de dépollution de l’eau et de l‘air. Dans ce contexte, des films d’épaisseur controlée et mésostructurés de TiO2 non dopés et dopés par différents métaux (platine, vanadium et tungstène) , ont été synthétisés par voie sol-gel combinée au procédé d'auto-assemblage induit par évaporation. Les propriétés structurales et optiques ainsi que la composition chimique de la surface des films ont été caractérisées par de nombreuses techniques de caractérisation telles que DRX, GISAXS, TEM, MEB ellipsoporosimétrie, DRUV et XPS. Une étude complète des propriétés photocatalytiques des films à base de TiO2 aux interfaces solide-solide, solide-liquide et solide-gaz a été réalisée en utilisant respectivement les tests avec de l’acide stéarique, du bleu de méthylène et de l’acétone. Durant cette étude, nous avons montré qu’un contrôle adapté de l’épaisseur des films, de la nature et de la quantité du dopant peut améliorer l’activité photocatalytique jusqu’à un facteur de 16 par rapport à des films non dopés. Des tests préliminaires de piégeage chimiques des radicaux OH• par l’acide téréphtalique sous irradiation UV ont montré qu’il existait une bonne corrélation entre la photoréactivité et la génération des radicaux OH•The aim of this thesis is the development and study of photocatalytic properties of visible light photoactive mesoporous TiO2-based films to act as self-cleaning, and purification systems applied to air and water. Pure and doped mesoporous titania films with different metals as Pt, V and W were prepared by sol-gel method combined with evaporation induced self-assembly process at different thicknesses. Structural, optical properties and chemical composition of these films were characterized by XRD, GISAXS, TEM, SEM, ellipsoporosimetry , DRUV and XPS. In order to better characterize and compare the efficiency of these films at solid-solid, liquid-solid and air-solid interfaces, several tests were used: mineralization of stearic acid, photobleaching of methylene blue and photooxidation of acetone. In this study, it is shown how a suitable control of the film thickness, the nature and amount of the dopant can improve the photocatalytic activity up to a factor of 16 relative to un-doped films. Preliminary results on the OH• radicals production using terephtalic acid as a chemical probe showed good correlation between photoreactivity and generation of these radicals

Full textAbstract:
Pedigree dog welfare in the United Kingdom is a controversial subject. This PhD aimed to investigate small animal veterinary surgeons’ (VS), pedigree dog breeders’ (PDB) and owners’ perceptions surrounding canine health, their roles, information acquisition and the quality of online resources available to new dog owners. Via a mixed-methods approach VS and PDB were asked about their perceptions of pedigree dog welfare using online questionnaires. Focus groups were then used to explore these parties’ opinions on advising dog owners and buyers. Dog owners were administered an online questionnaire to explore drivers of dog acquisition and sourcing of information about canine health. A further sample of dog owners provided possible internet search terms they would use to find information on how to care for a new dog. These terms were used for a scoping review to examine the quality of available information. The VS and PDB exhibited varied perceptions relating to pedigree dog breeding, inherited disease and health screening programmes. Each group considered themselves the most knowledgeable on these topics and lacked clarity on how their roles interrelated. Focus groups showed conflicting views on advising dog owners and buyers. Dog owners varied in their drivers for ownership, from whom they obtained information and the internet search terms used when looking for information online. The scoping review identified a lot of easy to understand, poor quality information. VS and PDB need to better understand and appreciate each others’ roles, perspectives and knowledge to instigate effective collaboration and improve pedigree dog health. Owners are diverse and require a multifaceted educational approach to improve knowledge. The quality of online information for owners needs to be made clear and a coordinated approach involving all stakeholders is required to enable dissemination of practical, evidence-based information on pedigree dog health.
