Dear Dear DearKoch, Devin Harold 21 May 2019 (has links)
Dear Dear Dear is a collection of prose block poems that follow a queer speaker who is being confined by the world around him (the Midwest, the speaker's family/family values, gender norms, to one's own body, mortality, Monsanto, etc.) that tries to control and define him as a person. Dear Dear Dear examines the notion that humans are a product of one's own environment. It explores how one can be ones own product in response to being confined.
Dear Dear Dear explores different themes such as 'Nightmares VS Reality', 'Confinement', 'Response to Being Confined', 'What is Home' seen in the collection. These themes intertwine with one another to create a loose narrative about a speaker actively trying to find a space where he can simply exist and call home without any fear of judgment from the world in which he inhabits. / Master of Fine Arts

Previous issue date: 2018-09-24 / The purpose of this dissertation is to construct the Knowledge State, through the
procedures of inventorying and analyzing, showing the main keywords,
methodologies, categories, results obtained and main authors have been
researched, in the field of Professional, Scientific and Technological Education , in a
dialectical perspective, of the dissertations produced in the Masters courses in
Education of the Catholic Universities of the Central West Region. Thus, the
relevance of knowing the "State of Knowledge", Professional, Scientific and
Technological Education, of these institutions, mapping and examining all the
knowledge already produced in this area of knowledge, having as main point which
paths they see being traveled, the its aspects and the results being pointed out. The
theoretical contributions that support the teachings presented during this work are:
ROMANOWSKI (2006), FERREIRA (2002), BOURDIEU (1994), MARX (2004),
FRIGOTTO (2007), SAVIANI (2007), among others. The methodology used in this
work was documentary and bibliographic research, based on a content analysis,
qualitative and quantitative. Thus, in the constitution and triggering of the analysis of
the process of construction of the State of Knowledge of Vocational, Scientific and
Technological Education, it was possible to perceive the unveiling of a clash, of
political-ideological character, throughout history, which expresses relations of power
which are reiterated in our teaching-learning process. But they also demonstrated the
presence of agents who are willing to dismantle the perpetuation of the subordination
of education to the policies of economic capital, who persevere in the search for gaps
so that professional education, by remaining linked to public policies of employment
and income, essential aspects for human dignity, be developed within the conception
of education of citizen and emancipatory formation. And although we believe that we
have contributed to the present research to the scientific environment, we have also
held to not having reached its fullness, and further investigations are still necessary
in future studies, in view of the indicatives that were projected throughout this
research. / A presente dissertação tem por objetivo construir o Estado do Conhecimento, pelos
procedimentos de inventariar e analisar, revelando as principais palavras-chave,
metodologias, categorias, resultados obtidos e autores têm sido pesquisados, acerca
do campo da Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica, em uma perspectiva
dialética, das dissertações produzidas nos cursos de Mestrado em Educação das
Universidades Católicas da Região Centro-Oeste. Salienta-se a relevância em
conhecer o “Estado do Conhecimento” da Educação Profissional, Científica e
Tecnológica dessas instituições, mapeando e examinando todo o conhecimento já
produzido nessa área do conhecimento, tendo como principal apontamento os
caminhos que veem sendo percorridos, os seus aspectos e os resultados que estão
sendo apontados. Os aportes teóricos que sustentam os ensinamentos
apresentados no decorrer deste trabalho são: ROMANOWSKI (2006), FERREIRA
(2002), BOURDIEU (1994), MARX (2004), FRIGOTTO (2007), SAVIANI (2007),
dentre outros. A metodologia utilizada nesse trabalho foi pesquisa documental e
bibliográfica, baseada em uma análise de conteúdo, qualiquantitativa. Desse modo,
na constituição e desencadeamento das análises do processo de construção do
Estado do Conhecimento da Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica, foi
possível demonstrar como tem se desvelado ao longo da história um embate de
caráter político-ideológico, que expressa as relações de poder que se reiteram em
nosso processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Mas, que também, demostraram a
presença de agentes que estão dispostos a desarticularem a perpetuação da
subordinação da educação às políticas do capital econômico, que perseveram na
busca de lacunas para que a educação profissional – ao se manter vinculada às
políticas públicas de emprego e renda, aspectos essenciais para a dignidade
humana – seja desenvolvida dentro da concepção de educação de formação cidadã
e emancipadora. E, muito embora compreendamos a contribuição desta presente
pesquisa para o conhecimento científico, também temos a consciência de que não
alcançamos a plenitude do conhecimento de nosso objeto de estudo, tornando-se
pertinente ainda outras investigações, em futuros estudos, diante dos indicativos que
foram se projetando ao longo desta pesquisa.

RE-EXAMINING THE ‘HEARTLAND’: KOREAN AMERICAN RELIGIOUS AND ETHNIC IDENTITY FORMATIONS IN THE MIDWESTHana C. Lee Moore (5929931) 17 January 2019 (has links)
What is it like to grow up in the United States Midwest, without an accessible co-ethnic population, as a second-generation Korean American Christian? Drawing from forty-seven in-depth interviews of second-generation Korean American Christians who grew up in the Midwest, an analysis of the data reveals several aspects of their lives. First, Korean American families are moving to the Midwest for educational and economic gain, because of pre-existing networks with friends and family, and through family sponsorships. Second, this data reveals the long-term consequences of racism this population faces, causing some to desire to leave the Midwest, to internalize their oppression, or to work towards changing society through their careers and churches. Religious identity is a key factor in helping respondents process the racism they have faced. Second-generation Korean American Christians in the Midwest also find a sense of belonging, that they did not find in their neighborhoods and schools, through ethno-religious communities: Korean American Christian youth camp and/or organizations during college. Participation in these groups strengthened both their religious and ethnic identities.

Previous issue date: 2014-02-28 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a major cause of enterically transmitted hepatitis worldwide. Poor sanitary conditions particularly lack of safe water and sewerage systems have been associated with increased prevalence of this infection. In Brazil, there are more than 1, 200, 00 families living in rural settlements. Most of them have no access to safety water, and many had lived previously in landless camping in poor hygiene conditions. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of hepatitis A among people living in rural settlements in Central Brazil. From 2008 to 2011, individuals living in rural settlement in the municipalities of Jataí and surround (n=466), Goiás/GO and Ponta Porã, Mato
Grosso do Sul/MS (n= 454) were interviewed and blood samples were collected
and tested for HAV antibodies (total anti-HAV) by ELISA, respectively. Globally
85.9% (95% CI: 83.5 – 88.0). Of individuals had been previously infected by
HAV. None child aged less than five years was anti-HAV positive. Otherwise,
almost the totality (98.7%) of individuals aged 20 years or more were exposed
to HAV. Concerning individuals with 10-19 years old, the overall prevalence of
HAV was 69,6%. In the settlements studied in Goiás, age, history of life in
landless, number of people per household and water source were
independently associated to HAV positivity (p< 0.05). The results of this study
suggest intermediate infection rates for HAV infection in rural settlements in
Central Brazil, ratifying the need for public health politics addressed to this
population segment that presents characteristics which may favor HAV
acquiring and spread. Hepatitis A vaccine should be guaranteed for rural
populations. / O vírus da hepatite A (HAV) é uma das principais causas de hepatites transmitidas entericamente em todo o mundo. Condições sanitárias deficientes, particularmente, a falta de água potável e sistemas de esgoto têm sido associadas com prevalência elevada para essa infecção. No Brasil, mais de 1.200.000 famílias vivem em assentamentos rurais, e a maioria não tem acesso a água potável. Além disso, muitos relatam ter vivido anteriormente em acampamentos sob condições precárias de higiene. O objetivo deste estudo foi
estimar a prevalência da infecção pelo HAV em assentamentos rurais da Região Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, de corte transversal. De 2008 a 2011, indivíduos de assentamentos rurais dos municípios de Jataí e Entorno (n = 466), Goiás/GO e Ponta Porã, Mato Grosso do Sul/MS (n = 454) foram entrevistados e amostras de sangue foram coletadas e testadas para detecção de anticorpos anti-HAV total pelo ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA). A prevalência global para infecção pelo HAV foi de
85,9% (IC95%: 83,5 - 88,0). Nenhuma criança com menos de cinco anos foi exposta ao HAV. Por outro lado, quase a totalidade (98,7%) dos indivíduos com idade igual ou superior a 20 anos foram anti-HAV positivos. Considerando os indivíduos na faixa etária de 10-19 anos, a prevalência global foi de 69,6%. Nos
assentamentos estudados em Goiás, idade, história de vida em acampamento, número de pessoas por domicílio e origem da água consumida foram fatores independentemente associados a positividade ao anti-HAV (p<0,05). Os resultados deste estudo sugerem uma endemicidade intermediária para a infecção pelo HAV em assentamentos rurais do Brasil Central, ratificando a necessidade de políticas públicas direcionadas para esse segmento populacional, que apresenta características que favorecem a aquisição e propagação desse vírus. A vacinação contra hepatite A deve ser garantida para população rural.

Kentuckiana, and a Dash of Cambodia: A Collection of Short StoriesGress, Brodie Lee 01 July 2019 (has links)
The following is a collection of five short stories set in regions familiar to me: “Dewberry Park,” “YouLead,” and “The Color Violet” in Indiana; “Mens Rea” in Kentucky; and “Tory Ride” in Cambodia. Gay identity plays a role in many of these stories, and other themes explored include family, region, socioeconomics, gender, mentality, and change. These stories are concerned with people on the brink, failing and surviving all the same. Some of them are intended to weigh, and some to satirize. I hope they all nick their readers.

Previous issue date: 2014-04-30 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Goiás - FAPEG / Protozoa of the genus Leishmania, which affects the skin and/or mucous
membranes, cause American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL). It is an
endemic zoonosis whose numbers of cases in the Brazil Midwest region are
growing. In the Goiás state, 2798 ACL cases were been reported between
2007 and 2013. In the present study, our proposal was to investigate the
epidemiological and molecular characteristics of ACL patients attended at the
ambulatory of the Hospital Anuar Auad in the period 2000 at 2006 and
identify the species of Leishmania sp. The study included 152 patients with
ACL, 124 were from of the state of Goiás and 28 at Mato Grosso, aged
between 6-79 years, and center and thirteen these individuals were male. For
diagnosis, clinical, epidemiological and laboratory data were collected, such
as direct examination (ED), histopathology (AH), Montenegro skin test
(MST), indirect immunofluorescence (IIF). ELISA using crude extract of L.
(Viannia) braziliensis was performing. Characterization of Leishmania
species was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The positivity
of ED, AH, MST, IIF and ELISA was 70.6%, 80.9%, 68.9%, 44.2% and
73.0%, respectively. Specific IgG to L. (V.) braziliensis were detecting in
84.7% of patients with mucosal leishmaniasis (ML), significantly higher than
those found in patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), which was 69.0%
(p < 0.05). Detection of IgG before and after treatment was performed using
ELISA and was observed a statistically significant difference only in samples
obtained from patients with CL after 6 and 18 months of treatment. The data
serological monitoring of patients with ACL before and after treatment
indicates that the total IgG levels tend to decrease after 6 months of
treatment. PCR was performed on 69 samples obtained from scraping the
edge of lesions of patients with ATL, these, 62 (89.8%) were positive, 53
patients with LC and 9 patients with ML. The samples were characterized by
PCR as L. (V.) braziliensis (93.5%) and L. (L.) amazonensis (6.5%). It was
found that 25.8% of cases of leishmaniasis in the state of Goiás occurred in
Campestre, Goiânia, Aparecida de Goiânia and Niquelândia. By analyzing
the frequency of cases of ATL over the months during the years analyzed, it
was observed that there was a distribution of ACL in all seasons from 2000 to
2006, with a larger number of cases in winter. PCR represents important and
powerful tool in the diagnosis and species identification in ACL in endemic
areas. ACL controlling in endemic areas is difficult and requires an accurate
idea of its epidemiology. / A leishmaniose tegumentar americana (LTA) é causada por
protozoários do gênero Leishmania, que acomete pele e/ou mucosas. É uma
zoonose endêmica, cujos números de casos na região Centro-Oeste são
crescentes. No Estado de Goiás, foram notificados 2798 casos de LTA, entre
os anos de 2007 e 2013. No presente trabalho a nossa proposta foi
Investigar as características epidemiológicas e moleculares da LTA de
pacientes atendidos no ambulatório de endemias do hospital Anuar Auad no
período de 2000 a 2006 e identificar as espécies de Leishmania spp.
Participaram do estudo 152 pacientes com LTA, 124 do Estado de Goiás e
28 do Mato Grosso, com faixa etária de 6 a 79 anos. Destes, 113 eram do
sexo masculino. Para o diagnóstico foi realizada a avaliação clínicoepidemiológica
e laboratorial, tais como exame direto (ED), análise
histopatológica (AH), intradermorreação de Montenegro (IRM),
imunofluorescência indireta (IFI) e ELISA utilizando extrato total de L.
(Viannia) braziliensis. Foi feita a caracterização das espécies de leishmânias
por reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR). A positividade do ED, AH, IRM,
IFI e ELISA foi de 70,6%, 80,9%, 68,9%, 44,2% e 73,0%, respectivamente.
Foram detectadas IgG específica para L. (V.) braziliensis em 84,7% dos
pacientes com leishmaniose mucosa (LM), sendo significativamente
superiores às encontradas em pacientes com leishmaniose cutânea (LC),
que foi de 69,0% (p<0,05). A detecção de IgG antes e após o tratamento foi
feita utilizando ELISA e foi observado que apenas nas amostras dos
pacientes com LC obtiveram uma diferença estatística significante após 6 e
18 meses de tratamento. Os dados do acompanhamento sorológico dos
pacientes com LTA antes e após o tratamento indicam que os níveis de IgG
total tendem a diminuir após 6 meses de tratamento. A PCR foi realizada em
69 amostras obtidas a partir de raspado das bordas das lesões de pacientes
com LTA. Destes, 62 (89,8%) foram positivas, sendo 53 de pacientes com
LC e nove de pacientes com LM. As amostras foram caracterizadas por PCR
como Leishmania (V.) braziliensis (93,5%) e L. (L.) amazonensis (6,5%).
Verificou-se que 25,8% dos casos de LTA no Estado de Goiás ocorreram em
Campestre, Goiânia, Aparecida de Goiânia e Niquelândia. Ao analisar a
frequência de casos de LTA ao longo dos meses durante os anos
analisados, observou-se que houve uma distribuição de LTA em todas as
estações do ano, com um maior número de casos no inverno. A PCR
representa uma importante e poderosa ferramenta no diagnóstico e na
identificação das espécies de LTA em áreas endêmicas. O controle da LTA
em áreas endêmicas é difícil e requer uma ideia exata de sua epidemiologia.
