Title: Fluidity and Solidity in Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping
Author: Linda Lindqvist
The purpose of this essay is to show that fluidity and solidity constitute a central tension on all levels in Housekeeping, and how this tension leads to a choice of either a fluid or a solid lifestyle and view of the world. I focus on fluidity and solidity in gender roles, in memories, in dreams, in nature, and in different perceptions of reality. By taking a closer look at Ruth’s first-person narration (seeing fluidity as not resisting deformation, while solidity resists deformation), we find that the characters in Housekeeping have fluid and solid traits, but that there is no reality that allows mixed manifestations of these. This results in repression of either fluidity or solidity, which creates tension and feelings of loss. Ruth chooses a fluid lifestyle, thus her memories and dreams become mixed with her present, and this also leads her to become a transient, outside gender roles and traditional small town society. Transience in this novel questions all distinctions conventionally made between dream and reality; male and female. In conclusion, this essay highlights how tension between fluidity and solidity is generated on all levels in Housekeeping, and how this leads to either fluid or solid lifestyles since the characters follow a cultural code that dictates a choice between them.

This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first half, I present the current research results from corporate householding knowledge exploration. They include the categories of corporate householding problems, the related research in data quality and family household, commercial approaches to corporate householding problems, and the various areas where corporate householding applies. In the second half of the thesis, I present the design and implementation of a technical solution to an important type of corporate householding problem - entity aggregation - using a motivational example in account consolidation. The proposed technical approach uses extended COntext INterchange (COIN) technology to manage and process corporate householding knowledge.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to identify an appropriate left ventricular mRNA as internal standard in gene expression analysis in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure in the rat. Expression levels of GAPDH, 18SrRNA, Cyclophilin and porphobilinogen desaminase (PBGD) were measured four weeks after induction of either cardiac hypertrophy (small aortocaval shunt) or heart failure (large aortocaval shunt or myocardial infarction) using Ribonuclease protection assay (RPA) and TaqMan PCR. The left ventricular expression of ANP mRNA was increased in all these experimental models independently of the used method. Using RPA the mRNA expression of all studied housekeeping genes was unchanged in all experimental models compared to controls (GAPDH: small shunt: 105.1+-7.4, large shunt: 105.2+-6.8, MI: 88.4+-3.7; 18SrRNA: small shunt: 110.7+-8.2, large shunt: 104.4+-8.9, MI: 107.5+-12.0; Cyclophilin: small shunt: 96.4+-7.9, large shunt: 112.9+-4.9, MI: 95.7+-13.8; PBGD: small shunt: 81.9+-6.3, large shunt: 83.7+-4.7, MI: 79.8+-9.7; % control). Using the TaqMan PCR as a much more sensitive method only 18SrRNA levels were unchanged whereas GAPDH, PBGD and Cyclophilin mRNA expression was regulated (GAPDH: small shunt: 114.5+-18.7, large shunt: 133.6+-19.1, MI: 64.2+-6.2, p

Full textIn this thesis project housekeeping genes in differentiating human embryonic stem cells were investigated. Housekeeping genes are involved in basic functions in the cells and are assumed to be expressed at relatively constant levels across different cell types and experimental conditions. Based on these features, housekeeping genes are frequently used as controls in calibration of gene expression data. Commonly used housekeeping genes in somatic tissues have shown to vary notably in human embryonic stem cells and are therefore inappropriate as reference genes in this unique cell type. In the present work a novel set of gene expression data obtained by profiling of undifferentiated and early differentiating cardiac cells, was analyzed. Stably expressed genes were identified in this data set and were subsequently intersected with a previously proposed set of 292 stable genes in human embryonic stem cells. A resulting set of 73 genes show stability across all investigated cell lines and experimental conditions. These genes are suggested as a more reliable set of reference genes in differentiating human embryonic stem cells than frequently used housekeeping genes in somatic tissue. In addition, a novel set of 20 genes was identified as very stably expressed during the differentiation towards the cardiac lineage. After further validation of stability with RT-PCR, these genes could be useful as controls in studies of human embryonic stem cells that differentiate towards the cardiac lineage.

Danos causados por doenças virais estão entre os principais fatores limítrofes da produtividade do feijão-caupi. Em condições de estresse os fatores de transcrição (TFs) participam ativamente das etapas iniciais do processo de detecção e sinalização, regulando a expressão de vários grupos gênicos. Neste sentido, objetivou-se caracterizar TFs da família MYB e avaliar sua expressão diferencial frente à infecção viral, bem como determinar genes de referência (RGs) para normalização dos dados em RT-qPCR sob diferentes condições de estresse e controles. Por meio de análises in silico no banco NordEST, identificamos no transcriptoma do feijão-caupi um total de 86 candidatos a TF MYB, classificados em três subfamílias. A análise dos componentes estruturais do domínio R2R3-MYB permitiu observar a conservação dos aminoácidos característicos desta classe protéica em feijão-caupi. Por sua vez, o padrão de distribuição em pseudocromossomos de Phaseolus vulgaris indicou que genes MYB sofreram duplicações em tandem e intercromossomais, contribuindo para sua expansão no feijão-caupi. A análise filogenética formou 18 subclados, apoiados pela estrutura dos motivos funcionais da região C-terminal das proteínas. Das tags SuperSAGE diferencialmente expressas sob infecção viral, três foram reguladas positivamente, indicando a participação de candidatos MYB na resposta ao estresse viral. Dos sete RGs avaliados em três conjuntos experimentais, β-tubulina, Skip16 e Act2/7 + Skip16 foram as melhores combinações para seca, salinidade e vírus, respectivamente, podendo ser recomendados como normalizadores para estudos de expressão diferencial em feijão-caupi. Neste estudo identificamos a maior família de TFs em plantas observando sua participação ativa na resposta de defesa contra estresses em feijão-caupi.
Damages caused by viral diseases are among the main factors affecting the cowpea productivity. Under stress conditions, transcription factors (TFs) actively participate in the initial stages of the detection and signaling process by regulating the expression of various gene groups. In this sense, the objective of the present work was to characterize members of the MYB TF-family and evaluate their differential expression under viral infection, also determining reference genes (RGs) for data normalization in RT-qPCR under different stress and control conditions. Using in silico approaches to analyze the NordEST databank, a total of 86 MYB TF-candidates could be identified, being classified into three subfamilies. An analysis of the structural components of the R2R3-MYB domain allowed the identification of conserved amino acid residues of this protein class in cowpea. In turn, the MYB distribution pattern in the pseudochromosomes of Phaseolus vulgaris indicated that MYB members suffered in tandem and interchromosomal duplications, contributing to their expansion in cowpea. Phylogenetic analysis formed 18 subclades, supported by structural features of motifs in the C-terminal region of the protein. Of differentially expressed SuperSAGE tags under viral infection, three were upregulated, indicating the involvement of MYB candidates in response to viral stress. Considering the seven tested RGs under three experimental conditions, β-tubulin, Skip16 and Act2/7 + Skip16 were the best combinations for drought, salinity and viruses, respectively, recommended as normalizer genes in studies of differential expression in cowpea. In the present work we identified members of the largest family of TFs in plants observing their active participation in defense against stress response in cowpea.

Full textIrregular Gram positive rods (coryneform bacteria; IGPRs) comprise a group of species that has a wide phenotypic diversity and makes the conventional identification limited and that may be present in the environment, humans and animals hosts. In order to provide further accurate identification of these microorganisms in a genus and species terms it is recommended the use of molecular methods. In this study, we analyzed the 16S rRNA gene sequences and other conserved genes (housekeeping) in order to elucidate the identification of clinical isolates, pharmaceutical and clean room areas. We have documented a nosocomial outbreak caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) C. striatum in Rio de Janeiro. C. striatum identification was confirmed by 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequencing. C. striatum was mostly isolated in pure culture from tracheal aspirates of adults undergoing endotracheal intubation procedures. The analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) indicated the presence of four PFGE profiles, including two related clones of MDR strains (PFGE I and II). The data demonstrated the predominance of PFGE I, mostly isolated from patients of intensive care units and surgical wards. A potential causal link between death and MDR C. striatum (PFGE I and II) infection was observed in five cases. We also performed the identification of Nocardia species of human infections by multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) and characterized their antimicrobial and phenotypic profiles. An overview from 1970 to 2013 of the case reports on Nocardia species related to human infections, except mycetomas, in Brazil, was also accomplished. Molecular characterization by four-locus (gyrB-16S-secA1-hsp65) has provided the species identification N. nova, N. cyriacigeorgica, N. asiatica and N. exalbida/gamkensis. N. nova strains isolated from different clinical specimens of one patient showed identical antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. PFGE analysis performed to determine the genetic relatedness of these N. nova strains two distinct profiles, which were designated A and B. This is the first report on identification of Nocardia species by MLSA in Brazil. The IGPRs obtained in clean room environments that could not be identified by conventional criteria were studied by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis that allowed the identification of 95.83% at genus level and of 35.42% at the species level. The most common genus found in the clean room environments were Microbacterium and Streptomyces. The analysis of rpoB and recA genes sequence of seventeen Microbacterium strains contributed to the identification of three strains at species level. MLSA of seven Streptomyces strains identified a single sample at the species level. Moreover, the rpoB gene sequence analysis was effective in identifying Corynebacterium strains at species level. A new genus and species were found among clean room environmental strains belonging to the Actinobacteria class. Based on the morphological, genotypic and biochemical data presented in this study the 3117BRRJ strain represent a novel specie of the genus Nocardioides, for which the name Nocardioides brasiliensis sp. nov. was proposed and the 3712BRRJ and 3371BRRJ represent a new genus and species for which the name Guaraldella brasiliensis nov. were proposed.

Vår första hypotes var att ökad jämställdhet i arbetstid och föräldraledighet leder till att föräldrars totala tid med barnen minskar, dvs. att barnen tillbringar fler timmar i förskolan och inskolas tidigare. För att testa denna hypotes undersökte vi, med hjälp av två enkätstudier, sambanden mellan kvinnans och mannens arbetstid och föräldraledighet, och den tid som barnen tillbringar i förskolan samt vid vilken ålder de skolades in i förskolan. Våra studier visade ett signifikant samband mellan såväl yrkesarbetande kvinnors arbetstid och barnens antal timmar i förskolan som mellan kvinnors föräldraledighet och barnens ålder vid förskolestart. Motsvarande samband för männen saknades. Detta indikerar således att det är kvinnornas arbetssituation som till betydande del avgör barnens närvarotid i och ålder vid start i förskolan. Ökad jämställdhet i arbetslivet, innebärande att kvinnor arbetar mer, leder sannolikt till att barnen tillbringar mer tid i förskolan och inskolas tidigare. Ett andra syfte med vår studie var att undersöka föräldrars egen upplevelse av jämställdhet i sin parrelation, i förhållande till deras jämställdhet i arbetstid, föräldraledighet, fördelning av hemarbete, tid med barnen och egen tid. Vår andra hypotes var att par upplever sig som betydligt mer jämställda än vad fördelning av arbete, föräldraledighet, hemarbete, tid med barnen och egen tid indikerar. Vi fann i vår studie att det finns ett visst samband mellan upplevd jämställdhet och framförallt fördelning av arbetstid och hemarbete. De flesta par upplever sig dock som jämställda, trots en relativt ojämlik fördelning av arbetstid och föräldraledighet.
