The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, with over 450 naturally-occurring hereditary diseases, serves as a valuable model organism for study of the genetics underlying many human hereditary diseases. Approximately half of the diseases that afflict the dog are clinically very similar to various human hereditary diseases. Several cardiac diseases are in this category. Our laboratory is interested in cardiac diseases because they are common causes of death in the human and are also a widespread problem in many breeds of dog. The specific focus of my work is on understanding the genetics of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM is a disease characterized by enlargement of the left ventricle leading to an inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to the body. It is one of the most common cardiac diseases in the dog and has a high mortality. The Great Dane is the second most commonly affected breed. It is seen in many families of Great Danes, and this suggests that DCM has a genetic component. The mode of inheritance of DCM in the Great Dane is currently unknown, although studies have reported both autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant transmission. Many different genes cause DCM, indicating the complexity of the disease. These typically produce proteins that are involved in the sarcomere or cytoskeletal components, leading to problems with contraction or cardiac cell integrity. In order to identify causative or susceptibility genes for DCM in the Great Dane, a whole-genome linkage screen was conducted in a family of Great Danes. One candidate gene, gamma-sarcoglycan (SGCG), was identified through linkage and sequenced in affected and unaffected dogs. Sequencing data revealed no mutations in the coding regions of SGCG, most likely excluding it as a candidate gene for DCM. Continued evaluation of this gene and others, both in sequence content and additional properties such as epigenetic effects, protein structure, and interaction with other genes will increase understanding of DCM in both the dog and the human.

Domain Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard released in 2012 intended to complement or in some cases replace the current Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) model. The current PKI model uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates issued by Certificate Authorities (CA) binding domain names to public key. These CAs act as trust anchors during the certificate validation process. Web browsers and other TLS supported applications have large lists of trusted CA public keys. If one of these trusted CAs are compromised the whole system is compromised. DANE uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to publish TLS certificate information and create certificate associations to domain names. DANE relies on DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) for authentication and message integrity. Using the DNS root as a single trust anchor instead of the many CA trust anchors the attack surface is drastically reduced.In this study a quantitative survey among Swedish DNSSEC signed Second Level Domains (SLD) is performed with the aim to establish the DANE TLSA deployment level among the SLDs in Top Level Domain (TLD) .se.The results show that 686 471 of the Swedish SLDs have been DNSSEC signed which is approximately 49% of all Swedish SLDs. The number of domains that have deployed DANE is very low, with only 79 SLD found to have DANE TLSA resource records in DNS. The total number of DANE TLSA resource records were 175 and the most common service used with DANE TLSA was HTTPS on port 443 which was 62% of all DANE TLSA resource records found. The most common certificate usage field setting was three, domain issued certificates.

This thesis presents an integrated assessment of the life and music of Johanna Beyer (1888-1944) through a combination of socio-cultural and musical analysis. It examines the composer?s biography in the context of the New York music scene in which she participated and the social and cultural paradigms of her time. Contemporary conceptions of gender and sex had a particularly strong impact on Beyer?s work and the reception of her music. Ideologies concerning gender, sex, work, composition and modernism intersected in a variety of ways in her life and music; these issues are examined extensively in Chapter Two. Because gendered thought was so instrumental in obscuring the work of this important composer, Chapters Three and Four provide a thorough and synthesized analysis of Beyer?s music that has thus far been denied to her. These chapters discuss both the composer?s dissonant, ?ultra-modern? music and her later tonal music, exploring elements of continuity and change in her oeuvre. The thesis rejects earlier interpretations of Beyer?s work as disjointed and argues that it is instead the product of a constantly evolving composer.
