A new cultural policy developed in Sweden in the 1960’s in order to renew the activities of mseums in a more socially relevant direction. The dissertation examines whether the museums adopted the new policy and to what extent the objectives were achieved. The thesis analyses three main areas: the new cultural policy and the attempts to implement it; activities in selected museums along with different intellectual trends that shaped their activities; and the debate between different “thought collectives” (L. Fleck) regarding museums’ missions and objectives as well as expectations within the museum sector. How did the various “actors” relate to the objectives of the new cultural policy? The thesis confirms the potential of the museums as generators for renewal and innovation in terms of democracy and development of the society. There was a clear shift in attitudes from values associated with the “Cultural heritage museum” towards the in this thesis introduced idea of the “Community museum”. The study shows how museums tried to introduce activities relating to current political and social issues, which supports the principal hypothesis in the study, that the museums became more socially relevant during the investigated period. However, during the 1980s, there could be seen a clear recurrence back to the idea of “Cultural heritage museum”. The movement in opposite directions illustrates the museums’ strong ties to the earlier traditional ”styles of thought” (Fleck) and their role as cultural guardians, which severely restricted their capacity for innovation and new ways of thinking. Nevertheless, the Swedish Exhibition Agency (Riksutställningar) performed a role as a searhead for the new cultural policy, corresponding with the heterodoxy and new style of thinking represented by the “Community museum”. A number of persons dominating the debate within the museum sector had a crucial importance in the shift towards the concept of “Community museums”. A revitalisation of the exhibitions, pedagogy and content was accomplished, often as a result of the Swedish Exhibition Agency’s efforts to develop the medium. During the period 1965–1990 Swedish museum exhibitions moved towards a temporary and more socially oriented content. According to Steven Conn’s principal thesis “Do museums still need objects?” the importance of objects gradually declined during the last century. In line with this development, the new Museum of Work had no objects/collections of its own. Furthermore, the arrival of new technology in the late 1980’s gave preconditions for reshaping knowledge and contributed to new attitudes towards communication. Museums were now seen as centres for social contact and communication. The role of museology as an academic discipline in the reprogramming of the museums towards a more socially oriented approach is another important issue. Museology has been criticized by those who – int the debate – questioned the entire idea of “Community museum”.

[Truncated abstract] The dibbler, Parantechinus apicalis, is an endangered marsupial that exists on Boullanger, Whitlock and Escape islands off Jurien Bay in Western Australia. The introduced house mouse, Mus domesticus, exists on Boullanger and Whitlock islands, and the King’s skink, Egernia kingii, inhabits Boullanger and Escape islands. The grey-bellied dunnart, Sminthopsis griseoventer, exists on Boullanger Island. Over the last 150 years, the wedge-tailed shearwater, Puffinus pacificus, has colonised the islands to varying degrees. The interaction between dibblers and other island species is not clear. The purpose of this study was to determine the main factors regulating the dynamics of mammals, and in particular dibblers, on the Jurien islands. This was achieved by examining the effect of seabirds, the competitive interactions between species living on the islands, and seasonal changes in the environment. Animals were trapped for a period of 30 months, and their population structure, body condition, longevity, habitat preferences, diet and ecophysiology were examined. The results presented support the theory that by increasing soil nutrient concentrations, burrowing seabirds increase the primary productivity of islands, which has flow on effects to other trophic levels. Densities of seabirds and soil nutrient concentrations were highest on Whitlock Island, intermediate on Escape Island, and lowest on Boullanger Island . . .Thirty-five percent of dibblers on Escape Island were missing their tail or a limb, probably as a result of aggression from King’s skinks. Competition from high numbers of house mice on Boullanger Island, and from high numbers of King’s skinks on Escape Island, may increase the occurrence of male die-off on these islands. The better body condition and greater longevity of dibblers on Whitlock Island, despite high numbers of house mice, suggests that abundant resources are available to sustain both species. This study demonstrates that high densities of seabirds positively affect the population dynamics of mammals on the Jurien islands. Burrowing seabirds appear to influence the dynamics of dibblers more so than competition from house mice or King’s skinks. The findings from this study will assist the Dibbler Recovery Team with future management decisions regarding the viability of dibblers on the Jurien islands, and with decisions regarding the necessity to control house mouse numbers in the presence of native species.

The study deals with the purism as language ideology. After critical analysis of basic concepts (language cultivating, ideology, language ideology) there are standard language ideology and purism ideology presented. The crucial part of the study consists of: 1. analysis of the evaluation of purism in the contributions on language cultivating in the journals Slovo a slovesnost and Naše řeč from 1949 to 1968, 2. analysis of purism ideology in these contributions.

<p>Home cage aggression in male laboratory mice continues to challenge preclinical researchers. It reduces animal welfare and can alter research parameters, potentially reducing the validity and reliability of study data. While simply reducing aggression would be beneficial, promoting socio-positive, affiliative behaviors would greatly improve mouse welfare as mice are a social species. Mice also use olfaction to communicate, so this sensory modality could be used as a tool to improve social interactions in the home cage. A scoping review of the literature on how mammalian odor signals impact same sex social behavior found that studies are dominated by rodent subjects, treatments from urine, and aggression measures (Chapter 1). As a whole, urine treatments had a variable effect on aggression. This review highlights that treatments from non-urinary sources are not often tested, and affiliative behavior is rarely measured.</p> <p>One murine odor source worth exploring is found in used nesting material. Mice build complex nests for insulation and it has been speculated that the nest holds odor signals that appease home cage aggression, particularly aggression triggered by cage cleaning. It has been suggested that the nest contains secretions from plantar sweat glands, but the chemical content of neither nesting material nor plantar sweat have been examined. The main goals of this dissertation are to identify the odors stored in used nesting material, determine the sources of those odors, and test them for a behavioral role.</p> <p>Samples of used nesting material were collected from cages of group housed male mice. Further, plantar sweat, saliva, and urine were collected from the dominant and subordinate mouse in each cage as plausible odor sources. All samples were analyzed for protein and volatile organic compound content. Home cage aggression and affiliative behavior were also recorded to compare to odor profiles. Protein profiles showed that used nesting material contains a variety of proteins that primarily originate from plantar sweat, saliva, and urine sources (Chapter 2). A large proportion of these proteins contain messages about individual identity and bind volatile compounds that further contribute to identity cues. This suggests that the nest aids in maintaining a familiar odor environment. Analysis of volatile content showed that small compounds in the nest are also traced back to plantar sweat, saliva, and urine sources (Chapter 3). Few of the compounds have a known behavior role. However, one compound detected in nest, sweat, and saliva samples had a negative correlation with home cage aggression and three compounds (two from sweat and one from urine) had a positive correlation with affiliative behaviors, making them potential candidates for controlled studies on social behavior.</p> <p>Before testing the four candidate compounds, a challenge from the correlation study needed to be addressed. Body fluid samples were collected from individual mice based on social status, as this factor impacts production of known murine pheromones. Further, aggression is typically directed from a dominant to a subordinate mouse for territorial reasons. An aggression appeasement signal is likely to be produced by a subordinate to mitigate the dominant mouse’s perceived threat. Data from the correlation study showed no odor profile differences based on social status, and the pheromones that are known to vary with social status did not differ between dominant and subordinate mice. Therefore, Chapter 4 assesses the convergent validity of several dominance measures. Over one week, home cage interactions were observed in group housed male mice. For every aggression occurrence, the aggressor and target mouse was recorded to calculate individual dominance rankings in each cage. Then, individual mice were evaluated for the following measures known to correlate with dominance: levels of urinary darcin (a murine pheromone); scores from three rounds of the tube test; and ratio of preputial gland weight to body length. Postmortem wounding was also compared. Results showed that urinary darcin and preputial gland ratio have strong convergent validity with dominance ranking based on home cage aggression.</p> <p>Finally, the four candidate compounds (identified in Chapter 3) were developed into treatment solutions to assess their effect on home cage social behavior (Chapter 5). Cages of group housed male mice were randomly assigned one of five treatments (four compounds + control) and home cage aggression and affiliative behavior were recorded for one week. Postmortem wounding was recorded as a secondary aggression measure and social stress was measured through fecal corticosterone metabolites from each cage’s dominant and subordinate mouse (rank based on preputial gland ratio). Treatment did not predict changes in most measures. This may be due to limitations in application or from the original correlation study, which are further discussed.</p> <p>Although the final study showed null results, future research is still warranted to fine tune application methods and gain a better understanding of how odor signals impact interactions other than aggression. The relationship between olfaction and affiliative behaviors is largely unexamined and this dissertation is a first step in filling that gap.</p>

La naissance est l'une des étapes les plus délicates à laquelle les nouveau-nés mammifères doivent faire face. Le nouveau-né doit opérer des changements physiologiques et comportementaux pour s'adapter à l'environnement aérien, et l'un des premiers défis est d'ingérer du colostrum et du lait. Il est surprenant que la nature des stimuli et les mécanismes impliqués dans le déclenchement de la tétée soient encore mal connus, alors que la survie du nouveau-né est conditionnée par le succès de la première tétée. Par conséquent, cette étude a pour but de comprendre comment un nouveau-né immature et inexpérimenté réussit à s'orienter vers une tétine, à la saisir et à la téter de façon efficace? Cette question générale est posée chez la souris en focalisant sur : i) la nature des substrats chimiques utilisés par les souriceaux pour atteindre les tétines maternelles ; ii) la variation de la puissance attractive de ces substrats au cours du développement ; et iii) l'implication des effets de l'expérience dans l'établissement des réponses adaptatives précoces. Premièrement, nos résultats mettent en lumière que les odeurs mammaires de femelles allaitantes induisent plus d'approches et de saisies de la tétine chez les souriceaux que celles émanant de femelles non allaitantes. Deuxièmement, les odeurs de liquide amniotique et de lait déclenchent la première saisie orale de la tétine chez des souriceaux à la naissance, alors que les odeurs de salives maternelle et infantile n'induisent ce comportement qu'après une brève expérience de tétée. Troisièmement, les souriceaux âgés de 0, 2 et 6 jours postnatals (P), ayant eu une expérience de tétée, affichent une attraction sélective envers des odeurs de laits collectés en début de lactation plutôt qu'en fin de lactation, alors que les souriceaux plus âgés P15 ne montrent aucune réponse sélective envers ces odeurs. En résumé, certains substrats biologiques présents sur les tétines de femelles allaitantes sont immédiatement attractifs après la naissance, tandis que d'autres ont besoin d'être appris pour être réactogènes. Par conséquent, la réponse initiale de recherche de la tétine chez le souriceau est contrôlée par des processus d'apprentissage postnatal. A ce stade, l'implication de l'apprentissage prénatal et de processus prédisposés n'a pu être prouvée, bien qu'elle ne soit pas exclue. Ces résultats montrent des capacités d'apprentissage sophistiquées chez le souriceau nouveau-né

L'incessant augment del nombre de seqüències genòmiques, juntament amb l'increment del nombre de tècniques experimentals de les que es disposa, permetrà obtenir el catàleg complet de les funcions cel.lulars de diferents organismes, incloent-hi la nostra espècie. Aquest catàleg definirà els fonaments sobre els que es podrà entendre millor com els organismes funcionen a nivell molecular. Al mateix temps es tindran més pistes sobre els canvis que estan associats amb les malalties. Per tant, la seqüència en brut, tal i com s'obté dels projectes de seqüenciació de genomes, no té cap valor sense les anàlisis i la subsegüent anotació de les característiques que defineixen aquestes funcions. Aquesta tesi presenta la nostra contribució en tres aspectes relacionats de l'anotació dels gens en genomes eucariotes. Primer, la comparació a nivell de seqüència entre els genomes humà i de ratolí es va dur a terme mitjançant un protocol semi-automàtic. El programa de predicció de gens SGP2 es va desenvolupar a partir d'elements d'aquest protocol. El concepte al darrera de l'SGP2 és que les regions de similaritat obtingudes amb el programa TBLASTX, es fan servir per augmentar la puntuació dels exons predits pel programa geneid, amb el que s obtenen conjunts d'anotacions més acurats d'estructures gèniques. SGP2 té una especificitat que és prou gran com per que es puguin validar experimentalment via RT-PCR. La validació de llocs d'splicing emprant la tècnica de la RT-PCR és un bon exemple de com la combinació d'aproximacions computacionals i experimentals produeix millors resultats que per separat. S'ha dut a terme l'anàlisi descriptiva a nivell de seqüència dels llocs d'splicing obtinguts sobre un conjunt fiable de gens ortòlegs per humà, ratolí, rata i pollastre. S'han explorat les diferències a nivell de nucleòtid entre llocs U2 i U12, pel conjunt d'introns ortòlegs que se'n deriva d'aquests gens. S'ha trobat que els senyals d'splicing ortòlegs entre humà i rossegadors, així com entre rossegadors, estan més conservats que els llocs no relacionats. Aquesta conservació addicional pot ser explicada però a nivell de conservació basal dels introns. D'altra banda, s'ha detectat més conservació de l'esperada entre llocs d'splicing ortòlegs entre mamífers i pollastre. Els resultats obtinguts també indiquen que les classes intròniques U2 i U12 han evolucionat independentment des de l'ancestre comú dels mamífers i les aus. Tampoc s'ha trobat cap cas convincent d'interconversió entre aquestes dues classes en el conjunt d'introns ortòlegs generat, ni cap cas de substitució entre els subtipus AT-AC i GT-AG d'introns U12. Al contrari, el pas de GT-AG a GC-AG, i viceversa, en introns U2 no sembla ser inusual. Finalment, s'han implementat una sèrie d'eines de visualització per integrar anotacions obtingudes pels programes de predicció de gens i per les anàlisis comparatives sobre genomes. Una d'aquestes eines, el gff2ps, s'ha emprat en la cartografia dels genomes humà, de la mosca del vinagre i del mosquit de la malària, entre d'altres. El programa gff2aplot i els filtres associats, han facilitat la tasca d'integrar anotacions de seqüència amb els resultats d'eines per la cerca d'homologia, com ara el BLAST. S'ha adaptat també el concepte de pictograma a l'anàlisi comparativa de llocs d splicing ortòlegs, amb el desenvolupament del programa compi. / El aumento incesante del número de secuencias genómicas, junto con el incremento del número de técnicas experimentales de las que se dispone, permitirá la obtención del catálogo completo de las funciones celulares de los diferentes organismos, incluida nuestra especie. Este catálogo definirá las bases sobre las que se pueda entender mejor el funcionamiento de los organismos a nivel molecular. Al mismo tiempo, se obtendrán más pistas sobre los cambios asociados a enfermedades. Por tanto, la secuencia en bruto, tal y como se obtiene en los proyectos de secuenciación masiva, no tiene ningún valor sin los análisis y la posterior anotación de las características que definen estas funciones. Esta tesis presenta nuestra contribución a tres aspectos relacionados de la anotación de los genes en genomas eucariotas. Primero, la comparación a nivel de secuencia entre el genoma humano y el de ratón se llevó a cabo mediante un protocolo semi-automático. El programa de predicción de genes SGP2 se desarrolló a partir de elementos de dicho protocolo. El concepto sobre el que se fundamenta el SGP2 es que las regiones de similaridad obtenidas con el programa TBLASTX, se utilizan para aumentar la puntuación de los exones predichos por el programa geneid, con lo que se obtienen conjuntos más precisos de anotaciones de estructuras génicas. SGP2 tiene una especificidad suficiente como para validar esas anotaciones experimentalmente vía RT-PCR. La validación de los sitios de splicing mediante el uso de la técnica de la RT-PCR es un buen ejemplo de cómo la combinación de aproximaciones computacionales y experimentales produce mejores resultados que por separado. Se ha llevado a cabo el análisis descriptivo a nivel de secuencia de los sitios de splicing obtenidos sobre un conjunto fiable de genes ortólogos para humano, ratón, rata y pollo. Se han explorado las diferencias a nivel de nucleótido entre sitios U2 y U12 para el conjunto de intrones ortólogos derivado de esos genes. Se ha visto que las señales de splicing ortólogas entre humanos y roedores, así como entre roedores, están más conservadas que las no ortólogas. Esta conservación puede ser explicada en parte a nivel de conservación basal de los intrones. Por otro lado, se ha detectado mayor conservación de la esperada entre sitios de splicing ortólogos entre mamíferos y pollo. Los resultados obtenidos indican también que las clases intrónicas U2 y U12 han evolucionado independientemente desde el ancestro común de mamíferos y aves. Tampoco se ha hallado ningún caso convincente de interconversión entre estas dos clases en el conjunto de intrones ortólogos generado, ni ningún caso de substitución entre los subtipos AT-AC y GT-AG en intrones U12. Por el contrario, el paso de GT-AG a GC-AG, y viceversa, en intrones U2 no parece ser inusual. Finalmente, se han implementado una serie de herramientas de visualización para integrar anotaciones obtenidas por los programas de predicción de genes y por los análisis comparativos sobre genomas. Una de estas herramientas, gff2ps, se ha utilizado para cartografiar los genomas humano, de la mosca del vinagre y del mosquito de la malaria. El programa gff2aplot y los filtros asociados, han facilitado la tarea de integrar anotaciones a nivel de secuencia con los resultados obtenidos por herramientas de búsqueda de homología, como BLAST. Se ha adaptado también el concepto de pictograma al análisis comparativo de los sitios de splicing ortólogos, con el desarrollo del programa compi. / The constantly increasing amount of available genome sequences, along with an increasing number of experimental techniques, will help to produce the complete catalog of cellular functions for different organisms, including humans. Such a catalog will define the base from which we will better understand how organisms work at the molecular level. At the same time it will shed light on which changes are associated with disease. Therefore, the raw sequence from genome sequencing projects is worthless without the complete analysis and further annotation of the genomic features that define those functions. This dissertation presents our contribution to three related aspects of gene annotation on eukaryotic genomes. First, a comparison at sequence level of human and mouse genomes was performed by developing a semi-automatic analysis pipeline. The SGP2 gene-finding tool was developed from procedures used in this pipeline. The concept behind SGP2 is that similarity regions obtained by TBLASTX are used to increase the score of exons predicted by geneid, in order to produce a more accurate set of gene structures. SGP2 provides a specificity that is high enough for its predictions to be experimentally verified by RT-PCR. The RT-PCR validation of predicted splice junctions also serves as example of how combined computational and experimental approaches will yield the best results. Then, we performed a descriptive analysis at sequence level of the splice site signals from a reliable set of orthologous genes for human, mouse, rat and chicken. We have explored the differences at nucleotide sequence level between U2 and U12 for the set of orthologous introns derived from those genes. We found that orthologous splice signals between human and rodents and within rodents are more conserved than unrelated splice sites. However, additional conservation can be explained mostly by background intron conservation. Additional conservation over background is detectable in orthologous mammalian and chicken splice sites. Our results also indicate that the U2 and U12 intron classes have evolved independently since the split of mammals and birds. We found neither convincing case of interconversion between these two classes in our sets of orthologous introns, nor any single case of switching between AT-AC and GT-AG subtypes within U12 introns. In contrast, switching between GT-AG and GC-AG U2 subtypes does not appear to be unusual. Finally, we implemented visualization tools to integrate annotation features for gene- finding and comparative analyses. One of those tools, gff2ps, was used to draw the whole genome maps for human, fruitfly and mosquito. gff2aplot and the accompanying parsers facilitate the task of integrating sequence annotations with the output of homologybased tools, like BLAST.We have also adapted the concept of pictograms to the comparative analysis of orthologous splice sites, by developing compi.

Numerous studies have shown that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Spanish churches (both metropolitan and monastic) employed bands of wind instrumentalists to play frequently in liturgies and processions throughout the church year. Exactly what this music was, though, beyond colla parte participation in masses and motets has remained conjectural because not a note of it has been found. This dissertation is a study and edition of a major, newly-discovered manuscript which contained part of the repertory of the minstrels who served the Duke of Lerma, c. 1607, in the collegial church of San Pedro in Lerma. By comparing the repertory in the manuscript with sixteenth- and seventeenth-century instructions to minstrels in Le6n and Palencia, it has been possible to establish typical ecclesiastical performance responsibilities of minstrels and deduce how such a collection of instrumental music would have been used. Furthermore, after study of the surviving inventories of San Pedro, it has been possible to reconstruct the entire polyphonic musical repertory of the church. This enables us to see the sort of musical library available to the typical succentor or chapelmaster of the time, and the place that minstrel repertory occupied. Finally, a significant number of the original Lerma manuscripts and prints have been traced into modern collections, allowing us to know much more about their origins and history than heretofore. / Plusieurs etudes ont demontre qu'au seizieme et au dix-septieme siecle, les eglises espagnoles (metropolitaines et monacales) employaient des ensembles de musiciens utilisant des instruments "hauts" pour jouer dans de nombreuses liturgies et processions tout au long de l'annee. Ce que cette musique etait precisement, au-dela de la participation dans l'accompagnement des choeurs des messes et motets, ne reste que conjectures puisqu' au aucune note n'a ete trouvee. Cette dissertation est une etude et une edition d'un manusmt d'une importance majeure et nouvellement decouvert, identifie comme ayant fait partie du repertoire des menestrels servant le duc de Lerma, c. 1607, qui etaient engages pour jouer a l' eglise collegiale de San Pedro a Lerma. En comparant le repertoire dans le manuscrit avec les instructions des menestrels du seizieme et du dix-septieme siecle a Le6n et Palencia, il a ete possible d' etablir les responsabilites musicales liturgique des menestrels et de deduire comment toute cette collection de musique instrumentale avait pu ~e utilisee. De plus, apres l' etude des inventaires subsistants de San Pedro, on a pu reconstruire le repertoire musical polyphonique dans son entier. Ceci nous permet de voir la collection musicale disponible du chantre ou maitre de chapelle typique du temps, ainsi que la place qu' occupait le repertoire des menestrels. Finalement un nombre significatif de manuscrits et imprimes a ete retrace dans les collections modemes, nous permettant d' en connaitre. fr
