abstract: Skeletal muscles arise from the myotome compartment of the somites that form during vertebrate embryonic development. Somites are transient structures serve as the anlagen for the axial skeleton, skeletal muscle, tendons, and dermis, as well as imposing the metameric patterning of the axial musculoskeletal system, peripheral nerves, and vasculature. Classic studies have described the role of Notch, Wnt, and FGF signaling pathways in controlling somite formation and muscle formation. However, little is known about the transformation of myotome compartments into identifiable post-natal muscle groups. Using a mouse model, I have undertaken an evaluation of morphological events, including hypertrophy and hyperplasia, related to the formation of several muscles positioned along the dorsal surface of the vertebrae and ribs. Lunatic fringe (Lfng) deficient embryos and neonates were also examined to further understand the role of the Notch pathway in these processes as it is a modulator of the Notch receptor and plays an important role in defining somite borders and anterior-posterior patterning in many vertebrates. Lunatic fringe deficient embryos showed defects in muscle fiber hyperplasia and hypertrophy in the iliocostalis and longissimus muscles of the erector spinae group. This novel data suggests an additional role for Lfng and the Notch signaling pathway in embryonic and fetal muscle development. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S. Biology 2012

There have been many studies of Victorian asylums and their inmates, but the Edwardian asylum, and child inmates, have been largely unrepresented. This thesis attempts to redress these imbalances and contribute to the history of mental deficiency by describing the innovations, developments, and practices within the West Riding Pauper Lunatic Asylum (WRPLA) and its annexe, Stanley Hall. As part of the Poor Law system Stanley Hall took in idiot and imbecile boys as young as three years, where, as part of the response of alienists towards mentally deficient children, an attempt was made to educate them to a degree of self- sufficiency. In this way Stanley Hall was an institution that went beyond its perception as a custodial establishment and practised new approaches to care, at a time when these boys were defined within the Poor Law under the universal category of 'lunatic'. This study focuses on the role of William Bevan Lewis, the Medical Superintendent of the WRPLA (1884-1910), and the 163 idiot and imbecile boys admitted to Stanley Hall between 1901 and 1910. Consideration is given to the early dissemination of knowledge from this asylum and its influence through the teaching and training of medical students and asylum medical officers. The function and operation of Stanley Hall and the 'experiences' of the inmates is explored through institutional records and the evidence of Bevan Lewis to the Royal Commission on the Care and Control of the Feeble-minded (1905-1908). Stanley Hall pre-dated other mental deficiency colonies and anticipated the conclusions of the Royal Commission which recommended specialised care for mentally deficient children. Issues of care for this group were intensely debated during the Edwardian period leading to the Mental Deficiency Act (1913) that defined this group and influenced their care for almost another fifty years. The records of Stanley Hall demonstrate the individuality of the boys, and allow the analysis of the involvement of their families in the committal of their children. The subsequent involvement (or lack thereof) in the care of their children is also examined. The ultimate fates of the boys are considered, and an attempt made to bring the regime at Stanley Hall 'back to life'.

Cette thèse examine les pièces du théâtre dit « freudien » ou « psychanalytique » en Espagne, telles que Sinrazón d’Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, Trance de Cipriano de Rivas Cherif, Dr. Death de 3 a 5 de Azorín, entre autres. Il s’agit de rendre compte de la présence du fou-malade dans un large panorama théâtral de l’époque, conditionnée par l’émergence du freudisme en Espagne qui vient renforcer un attrait pour la psychologie des profondeurs initié au tournant du siècle par le symbolisme, comme mode de représentation. Ce travail tente de sonder les influences qui façonnent cette figure et d’analyser comment le débat culturel qui agite la société espagnole des années 1920 se reflète au théâtre et, comment ce dernier peut lui-même faire avancer le débat. Au sein de ce questionnement éthique et existentiel, qu’impliquent, dès lors, les choix de représentation du fou sur les planche espagnoles ? / This thesis analyses Freudian or psychoanalytic drama plays in Spain such as Sinrazon by Ignacio Sanchez Mejias, Trance by Cirpiano de Rivas Cherif, Dr Death de 3 a 5 by Azorin among others.. It accounts for the presence of the lunatic in a large theatrical panorama of that time, such presence being conditioned by the rise of Freudianism in Spain which strengthens the attractiveness of deep psychology used for the first time at the turn of the century by symbolism as representation mode. This work attempts to provide perspective on the different influences which shape this figure,to analyse how the cultural debate within Spanish society in the 1920's is reflected in drama and how drama itself can take this debate forward. At the core of this ethic and existential questioning, what do the choices of representation of the lunatic on Spanish stages thus imply ?
