Abstract:

The Great Depression marked a fateful passage in the annals of the American people. President Roosevelt's New Deal, the nation's signature response, proved to be a determined but erratic reaction. Against the backdrop of a nation deeply mired in an unrelenting international depression, dramatic events played themselves out in the lives of the men and women of Utah. Throughout, fidelity to principles of independence, self-reliance, and self-sufficiency were sorely challenged.The people of Utah found succor in two almost diametrically opposed responses. The New Deal offered an amalgam of program

Abstract:

In his 1978 biography of Dorothea Lange, Milton Meltzer appraised Lange's 1936 photography in Utah as nothing more than mundane work done for the benefit of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and not for her own benefit as a photographer. Yet, her work in Utah encapsulates the aspirations, goals, and styles of Lange, and gives insight into her vision as a photographer and representative of the New Deal. Through carefully composed photographs, Lange shows the hardships and hope of life in Utah during the Great Depression. This thesis investigates Lange's photographs in order to gain a grea

Abstract:

This thesis constitutes a sociological analysis of the establishment and operation of the Department of National Defence Relief Camp Scheme in British Columbia. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, unemployment reached unsurpassed levels, when the dependent Canadian economy could not export its primary resources. Faced with a fiscal crisis, the Canadian state was unable to support the dramatically increased number of destitute. The position of B.C. was particularly serious due to its economic dependence upon the export of raw resources. Thousands of single unemployed men who had been empl

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to enhance our understanding of Swedish marine insurers' choices of business strategies under the potentially difficult business circumstances of the interwar period 1918-1939. Little previous research exists on marine insurance during the interwar period. This is remarkable in the Swedish context since the Swedish economy has traditionally depended on its exports. The focus on Sweden is justified since the Swedish insurance market saw regulatory stability during the interwar period. It was also characterised by the coexistence of stock and mutual insurers, allowing t

Abstract:

Two main points histories of the Second World War in Canada traditionally emphasize are (1) the role of war-related fiscal policy in finally ending the Great Depression and (2) the success of government control over the economy. Potential output estimates show a large output gap still in existence in 1939, with it quickly closing by 1941. The Dominion government's war-related fiscal policy emerges as the factor explaining this rapid recovery. But Dominion fiscal policy was also important to recovery before the war.

Abstract:

The economic disaster known as the Great Depression struck Grayson County, Texas, in 1929, and full economic recovery did not come until the close of World War II. However, the people of Grayson benefited greatly between 1933 and 1946 from the myriad spending programs of the New Deal, the building of the Denison Dam that created Lake Texoma, and the establishment of Perrin Army Air Field.

This paper analyzes Wyoming’s response to the Great Depression and the federal aid programs that arose from it. Since Wyoming was already facing a depression for a decade before the rest of the nation followed after the stock market crash in 1929, the Wyoming legislature was already struggling to find new ways to cut costs and raise revenues. From 1929 to 1940, this time-period saw four different governors, the establishment of Grand Teton National Park, the enactment of a sales tax, the decline of Wyoming’s oil industry, and an attempted secession movement.

Abstract:

Background: Deficits in the processing of emotional stimuli have long been associated with major depressive disorder (MDD). These emotional biases are believed central to the symptomatology of MDD, with evidence growing that such biases can also be seen during remission. Although such changes are typical of psychiatric morbidity evidence is growing for the impact of ageing on emotional processing as well. Evidence shows that relative to younger adults, older adults demonstrate biases that favour positive information over negative. There is therefore overlap between MDD and normal ageing that h

The comorbidity between female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) is well documented; however, the mechanism(s) underlying the relationship between these disorders has not been defined.

Based on evidence pointing to a high cortisol/DHEA ratio (C/D Ratio) in MDD and low DHEA in FSD, this study investigated if the potential association between a high C/D Ratio and FSD

First, my historical analysis questions the assumption held by Japanese psychiatrists that depression did not exist in premodern Japan; I show that traditional Japanese medicine did indeed

What are the main causes of bank failure?

Focusing on the long-term evolution of state banks’ balance sheets, it finds that what greatly mattered for their survival was the inherent liquidity of their pre-Depression portfolios. Indeed, all banks, including survivors, suffered tremendous deposit withdrawals. Yet those that ended up failing could be identified as weak ex ante. Such weaknesses were linked to the

Abstract:

Esta tesis proporciona evidencia empírica sobre el rol de las quiebras bancarias durante la Gran Depresión. En el primer capítulo, se presentan las vulnerabilidades previas del sistema bancario de cada estado como instrumentos de las quiebras de los bancos. Se muestra que los estados y los períodos con quiebras bancarias más severas evidenciaron mayores disminuciones del valor agregado de las manufacturas durante el período de entreguerras. El segundo capítulo emplea una nueva medida de dependencia financiera para mostrar que, durante la Gran Depresión, las industrias con mayores costos de int

Abstract:

Thesis (MA (History))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>Although the environment is of obvious and primary importance in agriculture, the historical relationship between agriculture and the environment has not been widely researched. A socio-environmental paradigm provides a useful, inter-disciplinary framework for writing history. It takes into account the fact that ‘natural disasters’ are not merely happening to farmers, governments and communities, subsequently disturbing economic growth-patterns and reverberating amongst policy-makers and politicians. The relationship is much more r

Abstract:

No singular study in history has exclusively focused on Bonnie Parker. She is usually grouped with her companion Clyde Barrow or among other female outlaws of the Great Depression. The historiography of Bonnie remains largely inaccurate with portrayals of her either as ringleader of the Barrow Gang or the passive girlfriend aiding her criminal man. While the truth lies somewhere between these two statements, no effort has been made to fully understand Bonnie alone without Clyde. The American news media of the 1930's gave Bonnie a very different public life than the one she lived privately. The

Abstract:

Phf8 is a histone demethylase associated with human developmental disorders and cancer. Early studies of Phf8 in humans indicated that inactivating mutations in the gene were linked to syndromic intellectual disability with cleft lip and palate (Siderius syndrome). However, Phf8’s functional role in regulating mammalian development and behavior has not been demonstrated. In this thesis I present my findings on a knockout mouse model of Phf8, which I have generated and characterized to interrogate Phf8’s function in these processes in an in vivo mammalian system. Unexpectedly, I did not detect
