For decades now, the Appalachian community has been internally combatting two equally strong feelings—an inherently rich love of the mountains and a conflicting urge to leave the mountains. In recent years, Appalachian writers have produced a new literary tradition of identifying, discussing, and remedying this dilemma. Jim Wayne Miller’s 1997 The Brier Poems unapologetically explores the Appalachian community’s complicated relationship to its region. bell hooks’ 2012 Appalachian Elegy: Poetry and Place and Savannah Sipple’s 2019 WWJD and Other Poems then expand Miller’s exploration as both hooks and Sipple collectively represent voices that have often been left out of the stereotypical Appalachian narrative; their literature widens the lens of Appalachian experience and repositions the importance of the Appalachian canon. hooks and Sipple are contemporaries in conversation with Miller as all three authors have declared the Appalachian experience to have never been hegemonic—reclaiming, embracing, and uniting a modern Appalachian identity.

The development and adaptation of gear technologies to local fisheries has been a management-oriented research strategy commonly used to mitigate the ecological effects of pelagic longline (PLL) gear on bycatch species. Grenada’s PLL fishery primarily targets yellowfin tuna, however while minimal, their bycatch of blue marlin and white marlin exceeds the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) allowed by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). A switch to circle hooks may benefit these nontargeted, bycatch species by reducing catch rates and haulback mortality, as well as increasing post-release survival. To determine differences in performance, assessments of 16/0 circle hooks and 9/0 J hooks were alternated over 26 sets between January and June 2018. Catch, mortality, hook location, length and grade of fish were compared between hook types. No differences in haulback mortality rate for all species, or yellowfin tuna grade were found between hook types. However, significantly fewer billfish collectively (t= 2.36, p= 0.028), and sailfish specifically (t= 3.04, p=0.005), were caught on circle hooks. Additionally, tuna caught with circle hooks had a 69% greater chance of external hooking compared to J hooks (X2 = 4.38 p=0.036). All other species analyzed had statistically similar catch rates regardless of hook type (p < 0.05), including, yellowfin tuna. The results of this study indicate the Grenadian PLL can reduce its impact on billfish bycatch by using 16/0 circle hooks without incurring negative effects on their tuna catch rate or grade. This research provides further evidence that circle hooks should be the recommended gear type when using a bycatch mitigation approach to manage PLL fisheries.

This essay analyses the life of Joyce, the protagonist in “Somewhere in England”, the fourth section of Crossing the River by Caryl Phillips, using an intersectional feminist perspective. It attempts to show how patriarchy, classism, and racism intersect to shape Joyce’s life and to limit her possibilities. The essay argues that at the beginning, Joyce is too naïve to fully understand the power structures prevailing in her society, and therefore, she is different from those around her. However, she successively experiences not only patriarchal oppression but also class and race oppressions. The result is that Joyce accepts her social position when she understands that it is difficult for an individual woman to challenge the intersected multiple oppressions of the capitalist, supremacist, patriarchal society.

En del didaktisk forskning handlar om hur elever lär sig kunskaper effektivt och praktiskt. Ett effektivtsätt att lära ut fysikkunskaper är med hjälp av representationer som text, språk, matematik, grafer ochtekniska verktyg som simulering. Det finns många forskare och elever som hävdar att PhET-simuleringar är ett grundläggande verktyg för att hjälpa till att förbättra och utveckla fysikaliskkonceptuell förståelse.”Rörelse och krafter” är ett centralt innehåll i fysikundervisningen. I detta arbete undersöks därför hursimulering och särskilt PhET-simulering kan bidra till djupare förståelse av det fysikaliska begreppetfjäderkraft (Hooks lag). I den här studien genomfördes kort enskild undervisning för femgymnasieelever och sen användande de PhET-simuleringen för att lösa några problem samtidigt somde berättade hur de tänkte. Datan samlades in genom metoden ”think aloud protocols” ochanalyserades senare med en kvalitativ metod (tematisk analys). I studien undersöktes också vilkainställningar i PhET-simuleringen som var mest och mist hjälpsamma.Resultatet visar att PhET-simuleringen hjälpte eleverna på i huvudsak tre sätt; att ge visualisering avdet fysikaliska begreppet (fjäderkraft), att vara interaktivt (få direkt feedback) och att fokusera på denkonceptuella förståelsen. Eftersom eleverna svarade olika på vilka inställningar som var mest ochminst hjälpsamma, visade detta att eleverna lär sig på olika sätt, beroende på deras tidigare kunskaperoch förutsättningar. Alla deltagarna tyckte att PhET-simuleringen var ett bra sätt att utforskafjäderkraften på egen hand.Elever behöver få vissa förkunskaper från lärare eller pedagoger innan användning av simuleringenannars lär de sig inte effektivt. Lärare måste också förtydliga vilka skillnader det är mellansimuleringen, som är en modell av verkligheten, och verkligheten. Lärare måste lyfta fram skillnadermellan karaktärsdrag för naturvetenskapliga arbetssättet och användning av simulering, annars missar elever detta.

The expansion of the internet over recent years has resulted in an increase in digital attacks on computers. Most attacks, including the more dangerous ones, directly target program vulnerabilities. The increase in attacks has prompted a need to develop new ways to classify, detect, and avoid vulnerabilities. The effectiveness of these goals relies on the development of new methods and tools that facilitate the process of detecting vulnerabilities and exploits. This thesis presents the development of a tool that provides a visual representation of main memory for the purpose of security analysis. The tool provides new insight into memory utilization by software; users are able to see memory utilization as execution time progression, visually distinguish between memory behaviors (allocations, writes, etc), and visually observe special relationships between memory locations. The insight enables users to search for visual evidence that software is vulnerable, violated, or utilizing memory incorrectly. The development process for our visual tool has three stages: (1) identifying the memory utilization policies of the Windows 32-bit operating system; (2) identifying the data required for visual representations of memory and then implementing one possible method to capture the data; and (3) enumerating and implementing requirements for a memory tool that generates visual representations of memory for the purpose of vulnerability and exploit analysis. / Master of Science

This essay concerns Purple Hibiscus and Kambili's emotional development, and explores how violence, submission and emotional dependence along with a traditional feminine gender role can hinder acknowledgement of trauma. I propose that Kambili is encouraged to take on a culturally expected feminine gender role, and her submissive disposition is discussed and connected to her constant search for a father figure. The notion of personal and collective postcolonial trauma is explained and applied to contextualise her inability to question either her father or the political situation in Nigeria. I read Kambili's change as negative and aim to show that she has internalised patriarchal structures. Her change is contrasted to the change in her brother Jaja, to show how and why they develop in different directions. Traditional gender roles are discussed from a rather general perspective, but also in a context that concern masculinity, violence and power relations.

The indices of catches for the albacore (Thunnus alalunga), yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and swordfish (Xiphias gladius) had not presented a significant differences between the two the types of hook, whereas the bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) target specie in these fisheries, were significantly more caught in the circle hooks than in “J” hooks. The “circle” hooks also showed a mortality rate lesser than the “J” hooks, thus increasing the indices of non target species discarded alive, as for example the blue and white marlin, which in Brazil are being caught beyond the quotas stipulated by the ICCAT (International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas). This fact brings a substantial quality improvement results during the disembark, resulting a high final products qualifying to export and consequently a best sale price. / No intuito de comparar o desempenho dos anzóis, o índice de captura por unidade de esforço, o posicionamento do anzol no corpo do animal capturado, e a condição do peixe no recolhimento, foram observados 81 lances de uma pescaria comercial com espinhel, operando no Atlântico sul equatorial, na qual os anzóis “circulares” (tamanho 18/0) e os anzóis do tipo “J” (tamanho 9/0) foram utilizados de forma alternada. As taxas de captura para albacora branca (Thunnus alalunga), albacora laje (Thunnus albacares) e o espadarte (Xiphias gladius) não apresentaram diferenças significativas entre os dois tipos de anzol, enquanto que a albacora bandolim (Thunnus obesus) principal alvo da pesca, foi significativamente mais capturada nos anzóis “circulares”, os quais apresentaram, também, uma taxa de mortalidade no momento do recolhimento muito menor, podendo assim aumentar a taxa de descarte vivo de animais que compõem a fauna acompanhante, como por exemplo os agulhões negro e branco, que no Brasil estão sendo capturados além das cotas estipuladas pela International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas - ICCAT. Tal fato resulta em uma melhora substancial da qualidade do pescado na hora do desembarque, resultando, assim, em uma melhor qualificação do produto final para exportação e consequentemente um melhor preço de venda.

Foram examinados 400 exemplares provenientes do centroeste (Goiás e Mato Grosso do Sul) e sudeste do Brasil (Minas Gerais e São Paulo). Através de análise morfométrica e merística, padrão de colorido e caracteres osteológicos foi possível redescrever C. lagosantense e reconhecer uma nova espécie para o sistema do Alto rio Paraná. Ambas as espécies diferenciam-se de todas as demais espécies do gênero por apresentarem corpo alto (em média maior que 25% do CP) e comprimento padrão máximo raramente ultrapassando 25 mm. Aproximam-se de C. bahiense Almeida, 1971, descrita de lagoas temporárias em Arembepe – Bahia, e C. laterale (Boulenger, 1895), descrita do Baixo rio Paraná no Paraguai. Characidium lagosantense difere de Characidium sp. por apresentar linha lateral completa, comprimento da nadadeira peitoral maior que o comprimento da nadadeira pélvica e ausência de uma mancha irregular na forma de um borrão no pedúnculo caudal. A distribuição de C. lagosantense é ampliada para a drenagem do rio Paranã (bacia do Alto rio Tocantins - GO) e para a drenagem do rio Mogi-Guaçu (bacia do Alto rio Paraná - SP). / Characidium lagosantense Travassos, 1947 is redescribed and a new species from the Alto rio Paraná is presentation. Four hundred specimens were examined from west central (Goiás and Mato Grosso do Sul) and southeast of Brazil (Minas Gerais and São Paulo). Through morfometric and meristic analysis, color pattern and osteological characters it was possible to redescribe C. lagosantense and propose a new species from the Alto rio Paraná system. Both species differ from all other species in the genus by presenting deep body (usually deeper than 25% of CP) and maximum standard length rarely surpassing 25 mm. Both approach C. bahiense Almeida, 1971, described from a small lake in Arembepe – Bahia, and C. laterale (Boulenger, 1895), described from lower rio Paraná – Paraguai. Characidium lagosantense differs from Characidium sp. for presenting complete lateral line, pectoral fin larger than pelvic fin, and irregular blotch in the form of a blot in the caudal peduncle absent. The distribution of C. lagosantense now includes also the drainages of rio Paranã (Alto rio Tocantins basin - GO) and rio Mogí- Guaçu (Alto rio Paraná basin - SP).
