1	Revisão cladística e taxonômica de Messatoporus Cushman (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Cryptinae) Santos, Bernardo Ferreira dos 25 February 2011 (has links) Made available in DSpace on 2016-08-29T15:09:15Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 tese_4601_Bernardo Ferreira.pdf: 64845397 bytes, checksum: b40e350d2bdc14fe77cc99e325dcc29b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-02-25 / O gênero Neotropical e Neártico Messatoporus Cushman é diagnosticado, redescrito, e suas espécies revisadas. Um total de 91 espécies válidas são reconhecidas, das quais 67 são descritas como novas. M. jocosus (Provancher e M. rufiventris Cushman são reconhecidos como sinônimos júniores de M. discoidalis (Cresson), uma espécie predominantemente Neártica com alto nível de variação na cor. M. tricolor (Szépligeti) é proposta como sinônimo de M. variegatus (Szépligeti). M. nigrispinus (Cameron) é transferida para Prosthoporus Porter. Uma chave de identificação para as espécies, baseada nos dois sexos, é apresentada. Todas as espécies válidas são descritas ou redescritas e ilustradas. Numerosos novos registros geográficos e mapas de distribuição são fornecidos. A validade e relações filogenéticas do gênero são cladisticamente investigadas utilizando 162 caracteres morfológicos numa matriz com 25 espécies de Messatoporus e 105 grupos externos. As análises cladísticas foram conduzidas utilizando pesagem implícita, com valores de 1-6 para a constante de concavidade. Todas as análises recuperaram Messatoporus como um grupo monofilético, apoiado por 711 sinapomorfias. Os resultados também dão suporte à monofilia dos cinco gêneros avaliados de Osprynchotina, num clado incluindo Dotocryptus Brèthes. De acordo com a redefinição aqui proposta, Messatoporus é reconhecido pela seguinte combinação de características: bordas laterais do clípeo projetadas; mandíbula longa, estreitando-se no ápice, com dente ventral muito mais curto que o dorsal, ou indistinto; sulco transverso na base do propódeo longo e raso; margem anterior do propódeo côncava; área posterior do propódeo quase sempre com estriações transversais; espíráculo do primeiro segmento metasomal posicionado aproximadamente na metade de seu comprimento; carena mediana dorsal ausente; ovipositor basalmente cilíndrico, apicalmente deprimido, com valva ventral encobrindo completamente a valva dorsal. Uma segunda análise incluindo todas as espécies do gênero foi realizada para avaliar a filogenia em nível genérico. O conjunto de caracteres incluiu 106 caracteres considerados de imporância filogenética dentro do gênero, e utilizou o mesmo protocolo de análise citado acima. É detectada uma transição distinta e gradual, de espécies mais similares aos demais Osprynchotina para um morfótipo significativamente diferente, com várias convergências com os Gabuniina. As convergências são interpretadas como adaptações para atingir os hospedeiros, e podem estar relacionadas ao uso de hospedeiros mais profundamente escondidos. Em razão da natureza gradual do padrão de modificação morfológica, e porque a topologia recuperada não permite a separação das espécies em mais de um grupo monofilético distintamente reconhecível, a divisão de Messatoporus em dois ou mais gêneros ou subgêneros não é recomendável.

2	From Home to Public Homeplace: Creating a Space for Working-Class Rhetoric in Composition Studies January 2012 (has links) abstract: The topos of home is fraught with ideological baggage. This piece works alongside others that labor to rework home as a space for rhetorical topos. I spend the majority of my text analyzing three books from which I explicate the topos of "home." These books are Mike Rose's 1989 work Lives on the Boundary: A Moving Account of the Struggles and Achievements of American's Educational Underclass, Victor Villanueva's 1993 Bootstraps: From and American Academic of Color, and Ellen Cushman's 1998 The Struggle and the Tools: Oral and Literate Strategies in an Inner City Community. I've chosen these books for two interrelated reasons. First, these texts aided in establishing working-class rhetoric as a field of study within the paradigm of rhetoric and composition. And second, in their individual ways, each of these books is anchored in a profound sense of "home." Each of the texts also experiments and resists scholarly conventions to include some autobiographical passages. Central to these passages is the topos of home, a theme that both enriches the author's autobiographical account and informs his or her theory forwarded in that work. These features add fruitful theory building to both the authors' individual texts and the paradigm as a whole. I ground my work in working-class theory, analyzing the work of Steve Parks, Nick Pollard and Nancy Welch, alongside scholarship that analyzes those labeled as "other" in higher-level academia. The stories that Parks, Pollard and Welch quote, the works of Rose, Villanueva, Cushman and even myself, all work toward discussing and creating not only a "home" for working-class academics but also room for more working-class research and theory-building. As I argue in this project, through these very acts of rhetorical/scholarly experimentation, Rose, Villanueva, and Cushman defied conventional standards for what counts as "good scholarship" in order to initiate a scholarly trajectory for working-class rhetoric in the academy. These authors' discussions of the "home" -specifically personal and political references to working-class homes--were instrumental tools in creating a public homeplace and space for further working-class theory building for rhetoricians in our field. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. English 2012 Rhetoric Cushman home Rose Villanueva working-class

5	Midwife, Young Maiden, and Physician: Image and Authority in Karen Cushman's Female Healers Turnbow, Angela C. 01 May 2014 (has links) This study focuses on the characterization of Cushman’s healers in her three medieval novels The Midwife’s Apprentice; Catherine, Called Birdy; and Matilda Bone. I specifically look at the physical descriptions, medical practices, and the healer’s role within the community as an accepted medical authority. Cushman’s portrayals illuminate the different locations and situations in which women practiced medicine during the Middle Ages, thus she presents more historically accurate portrayals of female healers. The significance of this project is that Cushman challenges the stereotype of the isolated and disfigured old crone that has been, perhaps inadvertently, perpetuated by authors and focuses on the historical accuracies of female healers. Many young readers learn about history through novels and it is important that authors present accurate historical representations of the past they are trying to describe to their audiences. In addition, this project will bring multiple disciplines together such as medieval studies, young adult literature, medical history, and folklore in order to illuminate the historical accuracies and representations of female healers.

6	Recognition Denied: An Examination of UK and US Foreign Policy towards the Republic of Croatia Ljubic, Maria Christina 02 May 2013 (has links) This thesis examines the development of decision making taken by two countries, the United Kingdom and the United States, in response to Croatia’s declaration of independence from Yugoslavia. The focus is on the recognition process and the reasoning and rationale used by the government officials and diplomats of the United Kingdom and United States to arrive at their policy decisions and opinions. The concentration is mainly on events from the early 1990s until mid 1992. Topics explored include matters such the politics behind non-recognition, democratic social norms, respect for human rights and Western national interests. The thesis first hypothesizes, then analyses, which International Relations theory, that is, realism or constructivism, possesses the best capacity explain why these nations initially withheld their recognition of Croatia’s independence before moving to accept the Republic of Croatia as an independent state. The role of the International Relations theories is to offer an interpretation and understanding of these events and decisions. Subsequently, they are judged on their ability to do so. The thesis finds that via the insight of scholars, analysts and theoretical perspectives that both the John Major government of the UK and the George H.W. Bush Administration of the United States behaved mostly according to realist principles, with some instances of constructivist manner. / Graduate / 0615 / 1616 / 0335 / cljubic9@gmail.com Tudjman Tudman Milosevic Badinter Commission ethnic constructivism Britain ethnic cleansing genocide Lord Carrington Lawrence Eagleburger Tito arms embargo Genscher USSR Westphalia Serbia Eagleburger Glaurdic Cushman Mestrovic Ramet McAdams Meier Caplan Clinton Hurd Hogg Baker Zimmermann Jovic Mesic Vukovar Dubrovnik Balkans ethnic hatred Conversi Slovenia Kosovo Bosnia McCloskey Kenney MacKinnon Belgrade serbophilia Anzulovic Al Gore Snowcroft Waltz Morgenthau Machiavelli Chetnik
