Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur förhållandet mellan genus och sexualitet uttrycks i romantiska kärleksfilmer. Ur filmen 500 days of Summer har jag valt att analysera vissa scener där uttryck för en binär genusuppdelning och en normativ sexualitet förekommer, främst skildrat genom romantiska föreställningar om heterosexuell kärlek. Samtidigt har jag också funnit och valt material från filmen som visar på nästintill motsatsen till heteronormativitet och som kan ge förhoppningar om nya ideal inom den romantiska kärleksfilmen. 500 days of Summer är en väldigt ambivalent film, parallellt problematisk och nyskapande då den sitt bruk av filmgrepp både befäster men också bereder väg för nya tolkningar av genus och sexualitet. Följande uppsats är en undersökning i hur iscensättning av normativa ideal fungerar och tar sig uttryck i filmmediet och vilka begränsningar samt möjligheter detta erbjuder.

Offset across 161 faults and tilting of 56 fault blocks were estimated to calculate extension as a function of azimuth in this area. The orientation of a representative set of slickenlines was collected in the field to assign average values for the GIS analysis. Azimuthal variation of extension is consistent with a strain ellipse indicating plane strain with extension of 1.5 to 5.5 percent along the maximum extension direction of N75E and no extension along the minimum N15W axis. Blocks tilt on average 60° from the maximum extension direction, suggesting the underlying detachment dips -N15E. This technique allows strain associated with the numerous small faults to be added to the sparse large faults for a complete regional analysis. / Committee in Charge: Dr. Ray Weldon, Chair; Dr. David Schmidt; Dr. Marli Miller

abstract: Bright Summer, a one-movement piece for orchestra, was composed in Arizona, and completed in February 2013. The piece is approximately twelve minutes long. The motivation for writing this piece was the death of my mother the year before, in 2012. The prevailing mood of this work is bright and pleasant, expressing my mother's cheerful personality when she was alive. It also portrays bright summer days which resemble my mother's spirit. Thus, soundscape plays an important role in this work. It depicts summer breeze, rustling sounds of leaves, and, to translate a Korean saying, "high blue skies." This soundscape opens the piece as well as closes it. In the middle section, the fast upbeat themes represent my mother's witty and optimistic personality. The piece also contains the presence of a hymn tune, The Love of God is Greater Far, which informs the motivic content and also functions as the climax of the piece. It was my mother's favorite hymn and we used to sing it together following her conversion to Christianity. The piece contains three main sections, which are held together by transitional material based on the soundscape and metric modulations. Unlike my earlier works, Bright Summer is tonal, with upper tertian harmonies prevailing throughout the piece. However, the opening and closing soundscapes do not have functional harmonies. For example, tertian chords appear and vanish silently, leaving behind some resonant sounds without any harmonic progression. Overall, the whole piece is reminiscent of my mother who lived a beautiful life. / Dissertation/Thesis / D.M.A. Music 2013

In recent years, mortalities of unknown aetiology have occurred in Pacific oyster aquaculture in Baynes Sound, BC during the summer. Field studies were conducted to examine environmental, reproductive and microbial factors that could be contributing to these mortalities. In 2017, oysters were observed at three sites from July 5 to September 15. Each intertidal site had three modules containing seven stacked trays with 80 oysters per tray. Final mortalities ranged from 9.3 ± 1.9 to 38.8 ± 4.9% per module. The mortality per module correlated significantly with gonad length and the proportion of oysters that were female in a multiple linear regression model (R2=0.824, p=0.002). Vibrio aestuarianus, a well-documented pathogen of farmed Pacific oysters in France, was well represented in bacterial cultures from intertidal oysters in 2017 based on recA gene sequencing of 158 bacterial isolates. In 2018, juvenile Pacific oysters were monitored to characterize the onset of a summer mortality event in suspended culture. From May 11 to September 17, data on shell size, reproductive development, environmental conditions, and the microbial community of gill tissue was tracked at culture densities of 150, 300, 450, and 600 oysters tray-1. The onset of mortality was associated with a period of rapid growth, reproductive development, and elevated temperatures. Cumulative mortality per tray ranged from 34 to 75%, with the highest density trays having significantly lower mortality (p=0.023), smaller shell width (p=0.001), smaller shell length (p=0.002) and smaller gonad length (p=0.049) than the lowest density trays in a linear mixed-effects regression. Histology of oysters from August 12, during the mortality event, showed a mixed microbial infection in peripheral gill tissue. High-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and qPCR of V. aestuarianus using species-specific recA primers suggest V. aestuarianus is temporally associated with summer mortality. Mortalities observed in 2017 and 2018 occurred in different age classes and with different oyster culture techniques, but all were associated with elevated water temperature, increased reproductive effort, and the presence of V. aestuarianus. / Graduate / 2021-08-06
