The recorded history of the lordship under the House of Fergus lasted from only e. 1130 to 1231, but its origins lie in the fusion of the various peoples settled there by c. 1000. A blend of Celtic and Germanic groups created a hybrid culture that had more in common with Man and the Isles than mainland Scotland. Galwegian attitudes to and relationship with Scotland before c. 1130 are unclear, but ties with York and Man had greater value than Scottish claims to overlordship. The emergence of a powerful line of rulers kept the ambitions of the Crown in check, but any divisions in their ranks were exploited by the Scots. Close family links with the Plantagenet kings provided a counterbalance to Scottish interference, but brought English overlordship instead. This had the side-effect of securing the separation of the see of Whithorn from the Scottish Church. Marriage and kinship ties brought the lords political power in Scotland, England and Man, and control of estates outwith the lordship. This in turn led to the closer integration of Galloway into Scotland as its rulers gained high office in the kingdom. Thus the lords developed a dual character as Anglo-Scottish baron and Celtic chieftain. Introduction of Normanised colonists and the development of 'feudal' military tenures fostered this transition and eroded regional particularism. Integration was accelerated by elimination of the male line and partition between heiresses married into Anglo-Norman families. Division broke the power of Galloway, weakened the influence of its new rulers over the Galwegians and gave the Crown the control for which it had long striven.

This dissertation explores the musical traditions of the Penitentes of New Mexico and how these traditions influenced James (Santa Fe) Galloway’s Alabado for soprano, alto flute, and piano. Due to geographical isolation and religious seclusion the music of the Penitential Brotherhood is not well known outside of these New Mexican communities. The focus of this study, as pertaining to the music of the Penitentes, is the alabado “Por el rastro de la cruz,” and the pito, a handmade wooden flute. Included in this paper are transcriptions of pito melodies performed by Vicente Padilla, Cleofes Vigil, Emilio Ortiz, and Reginald Fisher, which have been transcribed by John Donald Robb, William R. Fisher, Reginald Fisher, and Rebecca Weidman-Winter. Few resources are available on Galloway or Alabado, an unpublished work, yet the popularity of this piece is apparent from the regular performances at the National Flute Association Conventions and by flutists throughout the United States. This paper represents a significant contribution to the study of Alabado, the composer, and how this composition reflects the music, history, and people of New Mexico.

<p> Klauenerkrankungen sind die dritthäufigste Abgangsursache bei Milchkühen und 90 % aller Lahmheiten gehen auf verschiedene Erkrankungen der Klauen zurück. Im Rahmen des FUGATO-plus Forschungsprojektes GENE-FL wurden die genetischen Grundlagen der Fundamentstabilität beim Rind, Schwein, Pferd und Schaf untersucht. Für die Untersuchungen beim Rind wurde Probenmaterial von insgesamt 1.962 erstlaktierenden Kühen der Rasse Holstein Friesian gesammelt. Diese stammten von sieben großen Herden aus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern mit vergleichbarem Haltungssystem und TMR-Fütterung. Der Klauenstatus der Tiere wurde zum Zeitpunkt des Klauenschnitts erfasst. Als Grundlage der molekularbiologischen Untersuchungen wurden anhand von in silico Analysen positionell-funktionelle Kandidatengene mit den assoziierten biochemischen Reaktionswegen für Fundamentmerkmale beim Rind und anderen landwirtschaftlichen Nutztierspezies ausgewählt. Aus den mehr als 1.000 ermittelten Kandidatengenen wurde ein individuell gefertigter SNP-Chip (384 SNP; ein SNP/Gen) erstellt. Mit dem SNP-Chip wurden 1.183 der phänotypisierten Tiere untersucht. Die Schwellenwertmodell-Analyse ergab eine signifikante Assoziation des im IQGAP1 (BTA21) befindlichen intronischen SNP (rs29017173, A/G) mit dem Merkmal Sohlenhämorrhagien. Des Weiteren konnte dieser SNP mit Fundamentmerkmalen der klassischen linearen Exterieurbeurteilung an zusätzlichem Datenmaterial von 2.394 Besamungsbullen der Rasse Holstein Friesian assoziiert werden. </p> <p> Bei den robusten Fleischrindern White Galloway werden im Bezug auf die Fellfarbe der Tiere vier Phänotypen unterschieden. Neben den drei weißen Fellfarbschlägen, die unterteilt werden in sehr gut markiert (wsg), übermarkiert (wsü) und untermarkiert (wss), gibt es den vollkommen schwarzen Fellfarbtyp (wsch). Als bevorzugte Fellzeichnungen gelten wsg und wsü, während die unerwünschten Zeichnungen wss und wsch sind. Auch bei gezielten Anpaarungen der phänotypisch bevorzugten Tiere kommen die nicht preferierten Farbphänotypen vermehrt vor. Zur Aufklärung des genetischen Hintergrunds der verschiedenen Farbvarianten wurden zunächst vier für die Fellfarbe relevante Gene, mast/stem cell growth factor receptor (KIT, BTA6), KIT ligand (KITLG, BTA5), melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R, BTA18) und Tyrosinase (TYR, BTA29) vergleichend sequenziert und auf kausale kodierende Sequenzvarianten untersucht. In den potentiellen Kandidatengenen konnten keine Polymorphismen detektiert werden, die die unterschiedlichen Fellzeichnungsvarianten erklären und somit wurde eine Beteiligung dieser Gene ausgeschlossen. Eine kürzlich beim Rind beschriebene KIT Gen Duplikation und Insertion auf BTA29 bzw. Re-Insertion auf BTA6 wurde deshalb mittels Fluoreszenz-in-situ-Hybridisierung (FISH), Whole genome sequencing und Polymerasekettenreaktion (PCR)-basierter Genotypisierung der Insertionsbruchpunkte an 178 White Galloway und 64 White Park Tieren untersucht. In allen Fällen konnten die Fellfarb-Phänotypen auf die Duplikation und Insertion des KIT Gens auf BTA29 zurückgeführt werden. </p> <p> Lebensmittelskandale werden in regelmäßigen Abständen aus mehreren Ländern berichtet. Im Jahr 2013 wurden Fertigprodukte mit undeklarierten Pferdefleischbeimischungen entdeckt. Eine genaue Quantifizierung der zugesetzten undeklarierten Menge war bisher nicht verlässlich möglich. Mit der droplet digitalen PCR (ddPCR) wurden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit Testsysteme zum Nachweis entwickelt. Als Zielgene wurden das mitochondriale CYTB und das chromosomale F2 verwendet. Für die Etablierung des Verfahrens wurden als Gewebe zunächst Muskel, Fett, Sehne und Leber verwendet. Während sich in diesen Geweben die Anzahl der mtDNA-Kopien pro Zelle etwa um den Faktor 5 unterschied, war der Gehalt nukleärer DNA nahezu konstant. Ausgehend von den Spezies Rind, Schwein und Pferd wurden verschiedene DNA- und Fleischmischungen hergestellt, wobei der prozentuale Anteil der beigemischten Spezies zwischen 50 % bis 0,001 % variierte. Mit dem F2-basierten Testsystem wurde eine zuverlässige Quantifizierung (LOQ) bzw. Detektion (LOD) von Beimengungen von nur 0,01 % bzw. 0,001 % erreicht. </p>

The aim of this work was to assess the meat performance of hens and bulls of the Galloway breed and their crossbreeds from organic farming and their subsequent comparison with each other. Further comparing the yields of their JUT with the results of another six breeds of cattle that were behaving in a non-organic conventional manner.

La prévalence de la déficience intellectuelle est estimée entre 1 à 3% de la population. En France, la déficience intellectuelle légère concerne entre 10 et 20 pour 1 000 personnes et la déficience intellectuelle sévère entre 3 à 4 pour 1 000 personnes. La déficience intellectuelle fait partie d’un groupe hétérogène de pathologies syndromiques et non syndromiques ayant en commun la limitation importante du fonctionnement intellectuel et du comportement adaptatif, apparaissant avant 18 ans et entrainant un handicap. Les causes de la déficience intellectuelle affectent la neurogénèse et/ou le fonctionnement neuronal. Environ 50% des déficiences intellectuelles sont encore à l’heure actuelle d’étiologie indéterminée. Les étiologies génétiques expliquent un grand nombre de déficiences intellectuelles et plus particulièrement les formes sévères. Les nouvellestechnologies, telles que les analyses chromosomiques sur puce à ADN et le séquençage à haut débit de l’ADN, ont permis d’augmenter le rendement diagnostique à 55-70% dans les déficiences intellectuelles modérées à sévères. C’est grâce à ces techniques que nous avons pu identifier puis caractériser deux nouveaux gènes impliqués dans des déficiences intellectuelles sévères syndromiques autosomiques récessives: le gène WDR73 responsable du syndrome de Galloway Mowat associant un déficience intellectuelle sévère et un syndrome néphrotique cortico-résistant et le gèneUBA5, impliqué dans le processus d’ufmylation, dans une encéphalopathie précoce. / The prevalence of intellectual disability is estimated between 1% and 3% of the population. In France, mild intellectual disability affects between 10 and 20 per 1,000 people and severe intellectual disability between from 3 to 4 per 1,000 people. Intellectual disability is part of a heterogeneous group of syndromic and nonsyndromic pathologies with limitation in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior appearing before the age of 18 and causing a disability. The causes of intellectual disability affect neurogenesis and / or neuronal functions. About 50% of intellectual disabilities are still undetermined. Genetic etiologies explain a large number of intellectual disabilities and more particularly the severe forms. New technologies, such as Array- Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization and next generation sequencing, have increased the diagnostic yield to 55-70% in moderate to severe intellectualdisability. Thanks to these techniques, we have been able to identify and characterize two new genes involved in severe autosomal recessive syndrome: the WDR73 gene responsible for Galloway Mowat syndrome which associates severe intellectual disability with corticosteroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, and the UBA5 gene, involved in the ufmylation process in early encephalopathy.

Hillforts in Scotland are smaller than their counterparts in southern Britain and extremely difficult to define as a site category. This is even more true in the western and northern parts of the country traditionally described as Atlantic Scotland, where the plethora of small enclosed sites forms a continuum in terms of size and morphology that cuts across the boundaries of current classifications. Using the recent definition of a hillfort by J.D. Hill as a site type that is not a farmstead, this thesis attempts to analyse enclosed sites in terms of their area enclosed, morphology/architecture and particularly their landscape position to try to identify groups of sites or individual monuments that are these ‘not-farmsteads’. Three case study areas have been chosen for GIS-based analysis. Skye and Kintyre are in Atlantic Scotland. The former is a region where brochs have always been central to interpretations of the Iron Age, but it has a considerable number of larger hilltop enclosures classed as forts, and small, less regular drystone enclosures classed as duns. The forts of Kintyre in Argyll have been more studied, but their social role, as well as their relationship with and distinctiveness from the duns of Kintyre are still unknown. The final case study area is the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, part of Galloway, in Prof. Piggott’s Solway-Clyde province. Generally included with southern Scotland and the Borders in syntheses of Scottish prehistory, it has many aspects to its later prehistoric archaeology that may be considered ‘Atlantic’ in nature, such as small prominent drystone enclosures, promontory forts and sites with complex, traditionally Atlantic architecture. However, there are also hilltop enclosures classed as forts that are much larger than in the other two case study areas. GIS based analyses have been used, and combined with statistical testing to try to identify patterns in the landscape positioning of certain classes or sizes of enclosed site. Sites have been analysed in terms of their distance from the sea, altitude, topographic prominence, visibility in the landscape, and proximity to/visibility of agricultural land. These results have been interpreted to try to refine present site categorisations, and to attempt to identify those sites that are different from merely farmsteads.

This thesis is a critical study of Scottish literary culture since 1989. It examines and interrogates critical work in Scottish literary studies through a ‘critical nationalist’ approach. This approach aims to provide a refinement of cultural nationalist literary criticism by prioritising the oppositional politics of recent Scottish writing, its criticism of institutional and state processes, and its refusal to exempt Scotland from this critique. In the introduction I identify two fundamental tropes in recent Scottish literary criticism: opposition to a cultural nationalist critical narrative which is overly concerned with ‘Scottishness’ and critical centralising of marginalised identity in the establishment of a national canon. Chapter one interrogates a tendency in Scottish literary studies which reads Scottish literature in terms of parliamentary devolution, and demonstrates how a critical nationalist approach avoids the pitfalls of this reading. Chapter two is a study of two novels by the critically neglected and politically Unionist author Andrew O’Hagan, arguing that these novels criticise an insular and regressive Scotland in order to reveal an ambivalent, ‘Janus-faced’ nationalism. Chapter three examines representations of Scottish traditional and folk music in texts by A. L. Kennedy and Alan Bissett, engaging with the Scottish folk tradition since the 1950s revival in order to demonstrate literature and music’s ambivalent responses to aspects of literary and cultural nationalism. Chapter four examines texts by Janice Galloway, Alasdair Gray and James Kelman, analysing the relationships they construct between gender, nation and class. Chapter five examines three contemporary Scottish texts and elucidates an ethical turn in Scottish literary studies, which reads contemporary writing in terms of appropriation and exploitation.
