  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: High-Resolution Studies Link Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Signaling with Endocardial-Myocardial Dynamics Controlling Heart Ventricle Development Author: Karfilis, Kate Year: 2016 Determining how coordinated gene expression changes direct embryonic heart development is paramount to understanding the genetic causes and developmental origins of congenital cardiomyopathies. Towards this goal, I present an optimized protocol for mouse thiouracil tagging (TU-tagging), a novel transcriptomics methodology for defining dynamic and cell specific gene expression programs, and validate TU-tagging for cardiovascular research. I then apply related and additional high-resolution approaches to characterize how vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling coordinates cell and gene expression dynamics underlying heart ventricle development. TU-tagging is a powerful approach to study dynamic gene expression programs of defined cell types while they are natively embedded within a complex organ. TU-tagging integrates genetic and chemical approaches to provide temporally controlled in vivo covalent labeling of cell type–specific RNA. Here, I describe two significant optimizations of the TU-tagging molecular biology and bioinformatics workflows that improve the method’s ability to identify differentially expressed genes and expand the technology’s utility. Next, using chemical inhibition of VEGF signaling in combination with high-resolution imaging and transcriptomic methods, I show that VEGF signaling directly promotes formation of the trabeculae that uniquely develop in the heart ventricle. By RNA-Seq, I identify VEGF-dependent target genes, including Gpr126 and Bmp10, which encode additional signaling proteins. I further show that myocardial Bmp10 expression and resulting endocardial Bmp10-driven pSMAD1/5/8 signaling is under sustained control by endocardial VEGF signaling. This continuous VEGF-BMP signaling interplay between endocardial and myocardial cells led me to examine the dynamic tissue arrangements between the two cell types during early stages of trabeculation. By extensive staining and high resolution imaging, I show that endocardial cells can be subdivided into three classes; 1) quiescent cavity cells that are well-separated from the myocardium, 2) proliferative and signal responsive transition zone/stalk cells that directly interact with myocardium to coordinate both cell types’ activities, and 3) CD34-expressing migratory tip-like cells uniquely found at the base of forming trabeculae. VEGF promotes trabeculation by 1) driving proliferation of endocardial transition zone/stalk cells and, secondarily, neighboring myocardium, and 2) directing the outward migration of endocardial tip cells that causes myocardial tissue to accumulate within individual and extensive ridge-like trabeculae. Defining these multiple roles of VEGF signaling during ventricle development reveals a novel conceptual framework for understanding trabeculation mechanisms and therefore processes likely to be disrupted in common congenital cardiomyopathies. This dissertation includes previously published and unpublished co-authored material.

Autopsie in vivo de quelques Romans d’Auteures Caribéennes et Subsahariennes (Condé, Mukasonga, Danticat et Miano) Author: Mefoude Obiono, Sandra Year: 2016 “La banalité de l’exclusion. Autopsie in vivo de quelques romans d’auteures caribéennes et subsahariennes (Condé, Mukasonga, Danticat et Miano)” examines the complex logics examines the complex logics of social exclusion and connects writings from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean, two sites often treated separately in the domain of Francophone studies. Precisely, this dissertation addresses how exclusion unfolds in these postcolonial societies—with migration, exile, and globalization echoed in the literary texts that I read. My argument is that our understanding of social exclusion and violence in these societies still draws solely from homogenizing development theories that originate outside of them. Re-theorizing social exclusion, I show in my work how these texts portray acts of social exclusion and violence through such insidious categories as geography, origins and lineage, as well as personal history, and local traditions and practices, that contribute to the making of misfits and outcasts, and yet remain overlooked in most attempts to address social exclusion in these specific locations. In navigating these relationships between social situations and literary form, I engage with psychology, social theory, and also physiology as I resort to autophagy (from the Greek “auto” meaning self and “phagy” meaning eating), a physiological process in the body that destroys cells to analogically demonstrate that by nurturing destructive behaviors these societies jeopardize chances to reach national cohesion and therefore contribute to their own destruction. The various chapters analyze texts by women writers: French Guadeloupian Maryse Condé, Haitian-American Edwidge Danticat, Rwandan French Scholastique Mukasonga, and Cameroonian French Léonora Miano. Self-critical agents of their communities, their act of bearing witness to these disruptions from a decentered position becomes highly problematic specifically for Danticat and Miano, as their legitimacy is challenged by resisting readers from their countries of origin who see their hyphenated selves as outsiders and traitors. But, hardly discouraged, these authors demonstrate the need for a renewed social response in writing that is provocative, with a rhetoric that resists the obsolete framing of fault and responsibility as always the Other’s.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Contested Nation, Global Space: Tourism and the Politics of Tuareg Heritage in Mali Author: Montague, Angela Year: 2014 This dissertation takes an ethnographic perspective on competing global discourses and contested nationalisms in a postcolonial, multicultural nation. Using the Festival au Desert, in Mali, West Africa as a case study, I investigate the complexities of using cultural productions and tourism to achieve political, economic, and social goals. I critically assess several projects of Tuareg Intangible Cultural Heritage preservation to show the contested nature of collective identities. Neoliberal development in the Global South necessitates niche markets such as tourism centered on culture; however these markets are inherently unstable due to historic and contemporary global economic practices. The Festival au Desert was opened to the world just a few years after an armed rebellion between Tuareg separatists and the state of Mali was suppressed. On the first full moon of 2001, the Festival brought Malian musicians and citizens together in celebration. It became a symbol of peace and reconciliation between formally opposed groups, most notably southern sedentary populations and northern nomadic groups, such as the Tuareg. It also became an important factor in income generation in Mali, and it was a space where international tourists and their Tuareg hosts came into contact and shared dialogue. Tuareg hoped that through the Festival the world could know who they were outside of the rebellion. But in 2012, a renewed rebellion was staged and subsequently co-opted by supporters of Al-Qaeda who instituted Shari'a law in Timbuktu sending the Festival into exile, and Mali's growing tourist economy came to a devastating halt. The Festival provides a rich case study of the benefits and perils of tourism in multicultural states and in wider globalizing frames. It highlights the contradictions in using tourism as a development strategy, as prescribed by international institutions such as the United Nations World Tourism Organization, as it is a fragile enterprise subject to the whims of the market, environment, and global and local politics. However, the research also shows the importance of the Festival for Tuareg identity and how it provided a space for nomads to continue a tradition of gathering after seasonal migrations to negotiate marriages, discuss politics, and celebrate together.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: From Cinder Cones to Subduction Zones: Volatile Recycling and Magma Formation beneath the Southern Cascade Arc Author: Walowski, Kristina Year: 2015 Volatiles (H2O, CO2, S, Cl) play a key role in magmatic processes at subduction zones. In this study, the dissolved volatile contents of olivine-hosted melt inclusions from cinder cones in the Lassen segment of the Cascade arc are used to investigate dehydration of subducted oceanic lithosphere, magma formation in the sub-arc mantle wedge, and mafic magma storage and evolution in the crust. Relatively young, hot oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath the Cascade arc. The hydrogen-isotope and trace-element compositions of melt inclusions, when integrated with thermo-petrologic modeling, demonstrate that fluids in Cascade magmas are sourced from hydrated peridotite in the deep slab interior and that the oceanic crustal part of the slab extensively dehydrates beneath the forearc. In contrast to their slab-derived H, the melt inclusions have B concentrations and isotope ratios that are similar to mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB), requiring little to no slab contribution of B, which is also consistent with extensive dehydration of the downgoing plate before it reaches sub-arc depths. Correlations of volatile and trace element ratios in the melt inclusions (H2O/Ce, Cl/Nb, Sr/Nd) demonstrate that geochemical variability in the magmas is the result of variable amounts of addition of a hydrous subduction component to the mantle wedge. Radiogenic isotope ratios require that the subduction component has less radiogenic Sr and Pb and more radiogenic Nd than the Lassen sub-arc mantle and is therefore likely to be a partial melt of subducted Gorda MORB. These results provide evidence that chlorite-derived fluids from the deep slab interior flux-melt the oceanic crust, producing hydrous slab melts that migrate into the overlying mantle, where they react with peridotite to induce further melting. The basaltic magmas that erupted at Cinder Cone near Mt. Lassen trapped melt inclusions during olivine crystallization at ~7-15 km depth. The melt inclusion compositions require that two different mantle-derived magmas were involved in the eruption, and temporal changes show that arrival of the two batches correlates with two explosive phases of activity. Both magmas experienced rapid crustal contamination before erupting, illustrating the complexities of cinder cone eruptions. This dissertation includes previously published and unpublished co-authored material.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A Grammar of Northern and Southern Gumuz Author: Ahland, Colleen Year: 2012 Gumuz is a Nilo-Saharan dialect cluster spoken in the river valleys of northwestern Ethiopia and the southeastern part of the Republic of the Sudan. There are approximately 200,000 speakers, the majority of which reside in Ethiopia. This study is a phonological and grammatical analysis of two main dialects/languages: Northern Gumuz and Southern Gumuz. The study provides an overview of the Gumuz people and culture, including historical accounts of the language(s) and migration patterns. Most major aspects of the language are described and analyzed in detail: phonology, nouns, pronouns, demonstratives and other noun phrase constituents, verbs and verbal morphology, noun incorporation, verbal classifiers, noun categorization, basic clauses, and subordinate clauses. Northern and Southern Gumuz varieties are contrasted throughout. Gumuz tone has two levels, High and Low, with tonal downstep of High. The tonal melody on bound pronominals on verbs indicates transitivity. Nouns are divided into two basic types: relational and absolute. Relational nouns have an inherent relationship with another nominal element, either within a noun-noun compound or with a (historical) possessive affix. Two sets of relational nouns --attributive and relator nouns-- obligatorily take an inherent possession suffix if not in a compound. Gumuz has two noun-noun constructions: the Associative Construction and the Attributive Construction. The first is left-headed with `noun of noun' semantics. The second is right-headed with the initial noun expressing an inherent quality of the second. Certain body part terms have grammaticalized as a variety of other morphosyntactic categories, in particular as relator nouns, verbal classifiers, and class morphemes, the final two of which are noun categorization devices. Many of these same body part terms can be incorporated into the verb or form part of lexicalized verb-noun compounds. Deverbal nominalizations with /ma-/ are found throughout the language structures. These /ma-/ nominalizations serve as both subject and object complements. They are also commonly found in other subordinate clauses such as relative and adverbial clauses. Purpose clauses are formed with the dative preposition plus a /ma-/ nominalization. Finite purpose clauses take pronominal inflection and have further grammaticalized as future tense main clause verbs in Southern Gumuz.
