  • Keeping Up Appearances: A Lacanian Perspective on American Mythmaking in Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ 'The Puritan' (1886)

    Description/Abstract:
    For Jacques Lacan, “psychoanalysis is the discipline which has reestablished the bridge linking modern man to the ancient myths.” This bridge towards myth that inevitably runs through the unconscious lays bare the scaffolding of culture. Famously, for Lacan, the unconscious is structured like a language, operating in one part through chains of signifiers which comprise a register of experience called the Symbolic. This Symbolic order, in relation to its two counterparts the Imaginary and the Real, is anchored by a fundamental signifier, the Symbolic Father, also called the Name-of-the-Father. Not necessarily a literal father, the Name-of-the-Father represents the lawgiving and morally punitive function that confers identity and legitimacy to the subject, in a clinical sense; culturally, it represents the guarantor of the laws, rules, and authority that comprise society. It imposes meaning. If repressed, meaning collapses, and the subject falls back into the Imaginary order, the order of fantasy. Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ towering bronze, 'The Puritan,' first unveiled in Springfield, Massachusetts on Thanksgiving Day in 1887, appears at first to exemplify the Name-of-the-Father as a dramatic consolidation of shared history and moral authority in an age of surfeited civic virtue. This is, however, only smoke and mirrors, a taste of the Lacanian Imaginary. In its embodiment of imagined Puritan virtue, it hides a dissonance between Puritanism, the artist, and an evolving nation struggling to define itself in its Gilded Age. Any meaningful study on The Puritan, particularly one dependent upon historical and social context, is indebted art historian Erika Doss. Her painstaking work in “Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s The Puritan: Founders’ Statues, Indian Wars, Contested Public Spaces, and Anger’s Memory in Springfield, Massachusetts” (2012) is a key interlocutor that provides rather crucial social and cultural contexts surrounding the statue. Where Doss presents a comprehensive socio-political account, this paper approaches The Puritan from a distinctly psychoanalytic perspective, expanding her insights through Lacanian theory. In doing so, I argue that, in the wake of cultural uncertainty following the American Civil War, Saint-Gaudens’ The Puritan (1886) functions as a compensatory and contradictory fantasy of moral authority; as a foreboding yet caricatural paternal archetype, it fails as a Lacanian signifier of the Symbolic Father, exposing the fragility and ultimately the neurosis of Gilded Age myth-making. Upon interrogation of The Puritan in the ideological significance of its patronage, its formal contradictions, and finally, its psychic disfigurement through parody, my paper uncovers how civic art does not simply reflect ideology, it actively constructs and performs it as a symptom of a myth-making society.

  • Globalization of The Adoration: Pilgrimage, Trade, and Shifting Perspectives within The Master of the Legend of Saint Lucy’s 'Adoration of the Magi' (c. 1480-85)

    User Collection

    Collection
    Description/Abstract:
    Throughout the 15th century, depictions of the Adoration of the Magi began to take new forms. Merchants, pilgrims, and wealthy individuals were all part of a major shift in globalization, and this is reflected through the Adoration of the Magi (c. 1480-85) by the Master of the Legend of Saint Lucy. - Rather than adhering to a strictly European vision, the artist now includes elements which reflect the culmination of trade within 15th century Northern Europe. Although there is knowledge and understanding of the developments within depictions of the Adoration, Saint Lucy’s paintings asserts itself as a direct reflection of shifting ideals and a focus on a secularized vision. Scholars such as Dr. Jean C. Wilson and Dr. Yona Pinson have guided my research thus far, especially in terms of market practices in Bruges. While these scholars provide insightful information concerning free marks, globalization, and changing depictions of the Adoration, there is a lack of connectedness, which is necessary to establish the shift. - Specifically, I am addressing various panel paintings of the Adoration from ca. 1390-1485 to consider the impact of globalization of shifting trends and how this affects the region at large. My research focuses on how depictions of the Adoration vary based on time, place, and potential influences (such as geography, patrons, and use of painting). Adoration of the Magi survives as one of the first major scenes which has such an emphasis on expanding global markets and trade. In conclusion, this project, by closely examining marketplace standards, pilgrimage, shifting ideals of race, and a growing secular attitude to favor patrons, works to shed new light on 15th century adaptations of the Adoration of the Magi.

  • Cross Cultural Differences in Parental Feeding Practices - Prelim Survey Measures

    User Collection
    Type:
    Collection
    Description/Abstract:
    Survey measures and consent documents for Mothers and Fathers in English and Spanish. All measures were translated into Spanish by a native speaker and back translated from Spanish into English in order to ensure language equivalence. Available documents: Father's Survey Packet - English.doc Father's Survey Packet - Mexican American in English.doc Father's Survey Packet - Spanish.doc Mother's Survey Packet - English.doc Mother's Survey Packet - Mexican American in English.doc Mother's Survey Packet - Spanish.doc Online Intro and Consent - English.doc Online Intro and Consent - Spanish.doc Survey Measures include: Acculturation/incorporation – Abbreviated Multidimensional Acculturation Scale (Zea, Asner-Self, Birman, & Buki, 2003). The AMAS-ZABB is a 42 item, self-report scale with Likert-type response options designed to assess three factors associated with acculturation in the United States and in the country of origin: identity, language competence, and cultural competence. Parenting style – The PPQ scale yields three continuous scores reflecting Baumrind’s (1971) three parenting styles of authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive. Parental feeding practices – 49-item questionnaire that measures 12 aspects of parental feeding behavior, including monitoring child food intake, using food to regulate the child’s emotions, using food as a reward, child control over feeding, teaching about nutrition, encouraging good habits, restricting child’s food intake for weight reasons, restricting child’s intake for health reasons, and modeling healthy eating habits. Child eating behaviors – A 35-item parent-report questionnaire that measures eight dimensions of eating style in children. These constructs include responsiveness to food, enjoyment of food, satiety responsiveness, slowness in eating, fussiness, emotional overeating, emotional undereating, and desire for drinks. Anti-fat attitudes – Crandall’s Anti-fat Attitudes Questionnaire (AFA; Crandall, 1994) will assess parents’ attitudes toward obesity. This measure consists of 13 Likert-type response items and includes three subscales: the evaluation and dislike of individuals who are fat, the controllability of weight/fat, and personal concerns and distress about weight or the prospect of becoming overweight. Parent’s concern about child overweight - Concern for child’s overweight and child’s underweight were measured by ten questions from two subscales derived from the Child Feeding Questionnaire. Perception of child’s body. Parents’ satisfaction with their child’s current body shape was assessed utilizing body silhouettes of children (Collins, 1991; Appendix F). Parents were asked to indicate which of the seven figures they feel most closely resembles their child and then rate the figure they would most like their child to resemble and the figure they would not like their child to resemble.

  • Co-Targeting KRASG12D and the HER family is efficacious in colorectal cancer

    User Collection
    Type:
    Collection
    Description/Abstract:
    Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, with roughly 41% of CRC cases harboring a KRAS mutation. There have been significant advances with the advent of KRAS-targeted therapies; however, acquired resistance to KRAS-targeted treatments has occurred in other cancers, with mechanisms including increased HER family expression among other receptor tyrosine kinases. HER3, a member of the HER family that is kinase impaired, has been shown to be a resistance mechanism upon inhibition of the HER family and downstream targets including RAS/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT. Our study examines whether HER3 and mutant KRAS are viable co-targets. We find that KRAS mutations tend to co-occur with HER3 alterations in a large panel of cancers and in CRCs. Our results show that both total and activated HER3 levels increase in CRC patient derived organoids and cell lines after treatment with KRASG12D targeted agents, indicating that HER3 could be a potential adaptive response mechanism to KRAS-targeted therapy. Further, we found that genetic knock-down of KRAS and HER3 resulted in a statistically significant reduction in growth of CRC cells compared to single knockdown of either KRAS or HER3. We observed that kinase impaired HER3 binding partners, as assessed by immunoprecipitation, is cell dependent with EGFR binding HER3 in one cell line. After co-treating CRC cells with pan-HER inhibitors in combination with MRTX1133, a KRASG12D inhibitor, synergistic and additive effects in reduction in cell growth were observed in a drug-dependent manner. Finally, we found that co-targeting KRASG12D mutant cells with a KRASG12D inhibitor and a HER3 antibody-drug conjugate further reduced cell viability. We posit that co-targeting both KRASG12D and HER3, whether directly or indirectly, is a potential therapeutic strategy in CRC patients.

  • DIGEST Stroke Validation Repository

    User Collection
    Type:
    Collection
    Description/Abstract:
    The Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity (DIGEST) rating method was developed in head and neck cancer populations to describe severity of aspiration and residue. The purpose of this study was to assess criterion validity of DIGEST in a post-stroke cohort. In this retrospective analysis, 2 raters (using version 2 criteria) performed DIGEST rating on recordings of modified barium swallow studies (MBSS) from 88 post-stroke patients that were extracted from a larger de-identified database. Modified Barium Swallow Study Impairment Profile (MBSImP) scores and Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) scores were used to determine criterion validity. Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability for overall DIGEST grade were substantial (ƙ=0.69 and 0.73, respectively), however inter-rater reliability for efficiency were only moderately reliable (ƙ=0.52). Reliability for MBSImP scoring was excellent for Pharyngeal Total (PT) scores (ICC=0.81-0.93). Overall DIGEST grades were significantly associated with PT scores in the expected direction (τ=0.51, p<0.0001), and there was no association between Oral Total (OT) and DIGEST grade (τ=-0.02, p=0.077). Pairwise comparisons using PT scores indicated significant differentiation between DIGEST grades 0 from all other grades (p<0.0001), with overlap in intermediate grades (p=0.106-0.713). Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) scores were significantly associated with DIGEST grade in the anticipated direction (τ=-0.43, p<0.0001). Expected psychometrics and acceptable reliability for DIGEST grading were shown in this post-stroke cohort. A larger dataset would clarify mid-grade differentiation and potential influence of oral phase impairments in this sub-population.

    Description/Abstract:
    The current infrastructure of horticulture in the United States of America, lacks BIPOC representation. The purpose of the review and research is to address the effects of white dominance in horticulture and combat the current system to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for BIPOC in horticulture. By juxtaposing past, present, and future contributions to horticulture from BIPOC individuals to the current concepts exhibited in horticulture we observe 3 things: The contributions of BIPOC ideas to Horticulture, the current representation of BIPOC individuals in horticulture, and the theorized future with solutions applied. This research is based on existing diversity equity and inclusion research seen in other fields, which theoretically will apply in the same context with horticulture. Under this assumption, it can be understood that horticulture is not the sole perpetrator in non-inclusive work environments for BIPOC but is rather a subcategory of the many organizations and communities within the United States that are systemically oppressive to BIPOC. Keywords: [BIPOC, horticulture, diversity in horticulture, inclusion in horticulture, colonization, culture, anti-racism, equity, colonialism]

    Description/Abstract:
    Over 400,000 quarries have been left abandoned and seemingly in a state of disrepair once their resources have been depleted or no longer valued. Before 1977, there were no laws or regulations in place to protect these sites. Owners and contractors were able to leave the site as is with tools, machinery, jagged rocks, slabs of cut stone, trash, and anything in between. This project explores the oldest marble quarry in the country, the Norcross-West marble quarry located in Dorset, Vermont. The design answers the question of how to repurpose this site by combining the site history to create educational opportunities, vegetation implementation to create habitats for at risk species, and sustainable practices such as marble carving and rainwater collection create a space that fulfills needs within the site that have long sense been forgotten. These practices reform the space and set a precedent for the dozens of other nearby abandoned and active quarry sites.

    Description/Abstract:
    “Permaculture is: design protocols for critical thinking, decision making, and problem solving all based on the patterns of nature” as defined by Larry Santoyo, the founder of The Permaculture Academy (Definitions of Permaculture, 2017). However, these design principles are often used on large scale properties such as farms, ranches, or even homesteads that have multiple acres of land to be managed. Therefore, this design is asking how can permaculture design be applied to be within county regulations at a suburban middle class home to produce food and enhance shared family maintenance time. In order to answer this question this research explores a design which follows the principles of permaculture and implements them through elements of the landscape. The design is based on a half an acre lot in a suburban neighborhood located in Medina, Ohio. This design addresses how permaculture design principles could be effectively used to feed a family and have a maintenance schedule that is in tune with family life all while following county regulations set for residential zones.

    Methods of cultivating and propagating L. williamsii are available on the internet and in academic journals. In particular, five, L. williamsii specimens were observed and their growth rates and overall vitality are determined. Furthermore, particular soil mixtures, temperature and humidity control, light, and moisture are crucial for growing individuals from. Variations in grafting stock are present, in particular, Pereskiopsis, Hylovereus, Tricho, cereus and Myrtillocactus. Among literature review, it was found that L. williamsii growth and seeding is dependent extremely dependent on pollinators, temperature, and precipitation in the wild. In terms of yielding L. williamsii specimens with the fastest growth rate and highest likelihood of survival in the wild, the graft stock to be used is Trichocereus and Pereskiopsis.
