1. A saturation study was conducted on three normal college girls, weighing 50, 43, and 54 kg. Subject I was found to require more than 2.2 mg. per kg. of ascorbic acid or a total of 110 mg. To maintain tissue saturation and subjects II and III were found to require 1.6 mg. per kg. or a total of 67 mg. And 86 mg. respectively. 2. The data for subjects II and III suggest that they may be a relationship between body size and the ascorbic acid requirement, since on the per kg. basis, they both needed the same (1.6 mg. per kg.). However, the fact that subject I required a much greater amount to maintain tissue saturation, more than 2. mg. per kg. Indicates that individual difference may overshadow body size in its effect on requirement of vitamin C. 3. The effect of various factors on the ascorbic acid excretion were observed: a. The correlations between the percentage of ascorbic acid intake excreted and the urinary pH were -.2122, -.315, and -/8588 for subjects I, II, and III respectively, only that of subject III being significant. b. Insignificant correlations of .293, -.2015, and -.0507 were found between the urinary volume and the percentage of ascorbic acid excreted. c. Correlations for subjects I and II between ascorbic acid excretion and cigarettes smoked were .0243 and .3198. Neither was considered significant. d. Insignificant correlations, -.149 and .00286, were found between ascorbic acid excretion and the coffee intake. e. A slightly significant correlation of -.3848 was found between the percentage (Average for the three subjects) of the ascorbic acid intake excreted and the maximum daily temperature. 4. A comparison of the results of this saturation study with two other saturation studies (2, 24) points out that 1.6-1.7 mg. per kg. May be an adequate requirement in most of the cases studied. However, all three studies give data on only thirteen subjects. 5. Suggestions are offered which it is hoped will so simplify the procedure of the saturation test that with efficient planning a much larger number of subjects may be studied: a. Collection and analysis of urine only on test dose days. b. Ad libitum intake of foods containing negligible amounts of vitamin C. c. Determination of the urinary pH at the time of collection. / Master of Science

Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2013-2014. / Les romans d’enfance de Réjean Ducharme (L’océantume, L’avalée des avalés, Le nez qui voque) se caractérisent par des personnages narrateurs hégémoniques qui s’escriment contre les autres discours romanesques, de façon à ériger leur langage en vérité unique, en parole absolue. Ils profitent des privilèges énonciatifs que leur accorde leur statut pour couvrir de leur voix un espace maximal au sein des œuvres et disqualifier, par des procédés tant monovocaux (critique directe) que bivocaux (ironie, parodie), les discours d’autrui. Il en résulte un monopole qui amoindrit la teneur hétérologique des romans et la centralise autour d’une instance de parole dominante. L’autocratisme désigne, dans une perspective générale, cette posture à l’égard des autres, qui témoigne d’un fort désir d’autonomie. Dans une perspective plus restreinte, il désigne également une posture narrative qui instaure, par le biais de la régulation des discours à laquelle elle procède, une forme romanesque particulière : la poétique narrative de l’emprise.

This study is an examination of the beast motif associated with Stephen Dedalus in Joyce's Ulysses. The motif has its origins in Joyce's earlier novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. In Ulysses the beast motif is related to Stephen's feelings of guilt and remorse over his mother's death and includes characterizations of Stephen as a fox, a dog, a rat, and a vampire. The motif consistently carries a negative connotation. Several literary sources for the imagery of the beast motif are apparent in Ulysses, including two plays by John Webster, a poem by Matthew Prior, medieval bestiaries, and a traditional Irish folk riddle. The study of the continuity of the beast motif in Ulysses helps to explain the complex characterization of Stephen Dedalus.

The study is an historical investigation exploring the impact of the Carnegie Corporation's philanthropic cultural and educational activities in North America and Australia during the 1940s. The author examines the Carnegie's formation of public values and perceptions using cultural and aesthetic material in order to transmit American ideological ideals with the goal of influencing Australian, Canadian and USA cultural norms. The principal case examined in the paper is the "Art of Australia 1788-1941" exhibition, which toured the USA and Canada during 1941-42. Scrutiny of the exhibition uncovers the role it played in alliance building and the promotion of a range of cultural and political agendas. The investigation deploys a theoretical framework derived from the writings of Tony Bennett. The framework takes the form of a matrix that uses concepts of institutionalized agencies/power and individual agencies/knowledge detailed in a nine-cell matrix composed of propositional statements under the intersecting categories of culture, technologies, ethics, zones, objects, and visualization. The "Art of Australia" Exhibition is a paradigmatic case of the instrumental, cultural application of exhibitions in the interest of the state, using government and non-government, public and private organizations as intermediaries. The analysis reveals the existence of diverse agendas and power/knowledge relationships between governments, corporations and the exhibition. This account highlights the museum as a significant arena for establishing and legitimating social norms and practices whilst steering cultural values. Such actions sponsored by government and entrepreneurial philanthropy are analyzed and interpreted as an early instance of building civic values and promoting the public belief in shared national identity. In this sense the investigation explores the educational mission of the museum and it's supporting agencies in the broadest public context.

This thesis argues that the popular characterization of high modernist fiction as esoteric, elitist, uncommunicative, and far too difficult for the common reader obscures the democratic principles at the heart of modernist experimentation and its poetics of difficulty. Recent theories of embodied cognition when applied to representative examples of high modernist novels help dispel the myth of inaccessibility and reveal the many ways in which these works actually accommodate the common reader. Once the stigma of inaccessibility is removed from the study of modernist novels, it becomes possible to see how their formal experiments with language as well as the themes and issues they contain operate for readers and writers alike as a means of exploring everyday cognitive activities and responses. To this end, the concept of cognitive dissonance provides a heuristic device for understanding what lies behind the motivations of writers who aestheticise experiences of dissonance in their texts and the responses of readers who confront these texts. This cognitive approach to modern literature challenges assumptions about high modernism's "uncompromising intellectuality" and replaces them with a view of modernism that is more accessible and inclusive without diminishing its radical difficulty. It also paves the way for new readings of highly canonical modernist fiction. For instance, I examine how James Joyce places "inscribed" readers into Ulysses to guide actual readers through some of the difficulties of the novel. I then read William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury as a novel that both thematises and formally resists the modern threat of behaviouristic human conditioning. Finally, I look at how the theme and form of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway reinforce the embodied equation of dissonance with illness and incompletion.

The central objective of the research was concentrated on reflecting the extent of police determine the use of the work of prisoners and correctional "unoccupied" on public works construction and reform as a measure riddled in a policy directive based on design and in the ideals of rational and instruction work, aimed at construction and organization of the State and the deployment of forms of social control in Ceará andmainly in the city of Fortaleza in 1935 to 1941. The methodology used is based on parameters established by social history, analyzing documentary sources of the APEC and newspapers O Povo e O Nordeste. In Ceará, the social control mechanism were adopted not only in the urban space, but also in the country where one of the biggest expressions of police repression, i.e. the extinction of the community Caldeirão. Understanding the city and the countryside as historical experiences, we inquired as to function and the power of the police were perceived in social relations, starting from the analysis of the identities of the prisoners, their motivations correctional prisons, the maintenance of social institutions and the construction and renovation of the buildings of the police apparatus; as reflected in society a social control based on the speech of labour and education; and to what extent this control mechanism has been effective. / A análise da primeira gestão de Manuel Cordeiro Neto na Secretaria de Polícia e Segurança Pública do Estado do Ceará foi fundamental para entender o discurso e a prática da polícia. O objetivo central desta pesquisa concentrou-se em refletir na medida policial de determinar o uso do trabalho de presos correcionais e “desocupados” nas obras públicas de construção e reforma como uma medida eivada de uma diretriz política calcada na concepção e nos ideais de trabalho racional e instrução, visando à construção e organização do Estado e a implantação de formas de controle social no Ceará e, principalmente, na cidade de Fortaleza de 1935 a 1941. A metodologia utilizada baseia-se nos parâmetros informados pela história social, com os quais se buscou analisar as fontes documentais do APEC e dos jornais O Povo e O Nordeste. No Ceará, os mecanismo de controle social não foram adotados somente no espaço urbano, mas também no campo onde se deu uma das maiores expressões de repressão policial, ou seja, a extinção da comunidade do Caldeirão. Entendendo-se a cidade e o campo como experiências históricas, indagamos como a função e o poder da polícia foram percebidos nas relações sociais, a partir da análise da identidade dos presos correcionais, das motivações de suas prisões, da manutenção de instituições de caráter social e da construção e reforma dos prédios do aparato policial; como repercutiu na sociedade um controle social baseado no discurso do trabalho e da instrução; e em que medida esse mecanismo de controle foi eficaz.
