“Come away, o human child” : the role of folkloric children in nineteenth-century British and Russian literatureCotey, Yekaterina 03 September 2015 (has links)
Cultural production in nineteenth-century Britain and Russia was characterized by two important phenomena that affected the literary sphere and visual arts – a burgeoning interest in folklore and a perception of childhood as a privileged space. In my dissertation, I explore how these two spheres converged in the figure of the folkloric child. I also uncover the semiotic dimensions of the binary oppositions intrinsic to the discourse of supernatural children, such as human – monster, child – non-child, cultural insider – Other. In my comparative analysis of supernatural children in Russian and English folklore, I focus on two main categories of supernatural children – unbaptized spirits and fairy changelings – and note the various affective responses they invoke in the bearers of culture. Narratives that focus on unbaptized children are characterized by a sense of communal guilt, whereas in changeling tales, interactions between the human world and the Otherworld are characterized by battles for resources in a contested semiotic space. In the second half of my dissertation, I show how supernatural children influenced prominent literary texts of the nineteenth century. Analyzing the influence of folkloric children on Russian literature, I examine the works of Fedor Dostoevskii and Fedor Sologub, two major writers with shared interest both in uncanny children and in folklore. In their writings, the folkloric child signifies the cultural anxieties specific to nineteenth-century Russia, from commodification of traditional culture to encroaching westernization and loss of spiritual identity. For comparison, I turn to an analysis of the changeling myth in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure. These two novels actively use motifs from the lore of changelings to develop the theme of colonialism and its influence on the lives of the colonized or peripheral Others. The study of Otherness that constitutes the body of this dissertation is informed by Yuri Lotman's theory of semiotic core/periphery, as well as by Julia Kristeva's concept of abjection and J.J. Cohen's examination of monstrosity and its cultural significance. / text

Sex difference in body fatness in Nigerian childrenGoon, DT, Toriola, AL, Shaw, BS 09 1900 (has links)
Childhood and adolescent obesity tends to
extend into adulthood and predisposes the
individual to some chronic diseases in later life.
Body composition is a good parameter for
evaluating obesity and nutritional status of
children. This study aimed to investigate
differences in body fat of Nigerian school
children in Makurdi, Nigeria. The study sample
consisted of a cross-sectional study of 979 boys
and 1036 girls who were aged 9-12 years.
Anthropometric measures of stature, body
mass, triceps, subscapular and medial calf
skinfolds were assessed. Percentage body fat in
girls ranged from 15.2-17.4%, which was
consistently higher than that in boys, i.e. 10.3-
11.9%. Generally, the girls had higher
measures of adipose tissue (sum of skinfolds
and percentage body fat) than boys. The
Nigerian girls at all ages had higher percentage
body fat compared to the boys, which indicates
gender differences in the children’s body
fatness. The study provides a baseline
assessment of body fatness in Nigerian
children. Future studies on tracking of
percentage body fat in relation to nutritional
and fitness levels in Nigerian children are
needed so that the children, parents and
teachers can obtain reliable information about
body composition and health related fitness.

ABSTRACT
Childhood and adolescent obesity tends to
extend into adulthood and predisposes the

Body composition is a good parameter for

children in Makurdi, Nigeria. The study sample
consisted of a cross-sectional study of 979 boys
and 1036 girls who were aged 9-12 years.
Anthropometric measures of stature, body

measures of adipose tissue (sum of skinfolds
and percentage body fat) than boys. The
Nigerian girls at all ages had higher percentage
body fat compared to the boys, which indicates
gender differences in the children’s body

assessment of body fatness in Nigerian
