  • Estimating the Size of Hidden Populations by Paul Douglas
    If You Are Not Counted, You Don't Count: Estimating The Size of Hidden Populations by Paul Douglas Wesson A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Epidemiology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Arthur Reingold, Co-chair Professor William McFarland, Co-chair Professor Nicholas Jewell Professor Mark Wilson Spring 2016 If You Are Not Counted, You Don't Count: Estimating The Size of Hidden Populations Copyright 2016 by Paul Douglas Wesson 1 Abstract If You Are Not Counted, You Don't Count: Estimating The Size of Hidden Populations by Paul Douglas Wesson Doctor of Philosophy in Epidemiology University of California, Berkeley Professor Arthur Reingold, Co-chair Professor William McFarland, Co-chair Background: Despite advances in treatment and prevention services, HIV infec- tion remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, identified by the 2010 Global Burden of Disease report as the fifth leading cause of global disability adjusted live years. While the epidemiologic features of HIV infection vary globally, marginalized populations, such as men who have sex with men (MSM), female sex workers (FSW), and injection drug users (IDUs) are consistently at increased risk for HIV infection relative to the general population. Targeting such marginalized, or hidden, populations has become a global priority to maximize the effectiveness of the public health response to the HIV pandemic. Members of these populations are often difficult to find, and the size of these populations is largely unknown, making it difficult to calculate epidemiologic measures of disease and to evaluate the reach and coverage of public health programs.

  • Gender and the Family in Contemporary Chinese-Language Film Remakes
    Gender and the family in contemporary Chinese-language film remakes Sarah Woodland BBusMan., BA (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Languages and Cultures 1 Abstract This thesis argues that cinematic remakes in the Chinese cultural context are a far more complex phenomenon than adaptive translation between disparate cultures. While early work conducted on French cinema and recent work on Chinese-language remakes by scholars including Li, Chan and Wang focused primarily on issues of intercultural difference, this thesis looks not only at remaking across cultures, but also at intracultural remakes. In doing so, it moves beyond questions of cultural politics, taking full advantage of the unique opportunity provided by remakes to compare and contrast two versions of the same narrative, and investigates more broadly at the many reasons why changes between a source film and remake might occur. Using gender as a lens through which these changes can be observed, this thesis conducts a comparative analysis of two pairs of intercultural and two pairs of intracultural films, each chapter highlighting a different dimension of remakes, and illustrating how changes in gender representations can be reflective not just of differences in attitudes towards gender across cultures, but also of broader concerns relating to culture, genre, auteurism, politics and temporality. The thesis endeavours to investigate the complexities of remaking processes in a Chinese-language cinematic context, with a view to exploring the ways in which remakes might reflect different perspectives on Chinese society more broadly, through their ability to compel the viewer to reflect not only on the past, by virtue of the relationship with a source text, but also on the present, through the way in which the remake reshapes this text to address its audience.

  • Veronica Mars, Spinster...Old Maid
    EXT. CAMELOT MOTEL - NIGHT Music cue: Air’s “La Femme D’Argent.” ANGLE on a rain-streaked, neon-reflecting motel window. Through gauzy curtains we see the SILHOUETTES OF LOVERS heaving toward climax with all the romantic finesse normally associated with Soviet farm equipment. VERONICA (V.O.) I’m never getting married. A middle-aged FAT MAN wearing a cheap, too-short, faux- Japanese robe and nothing else crosses through the frame carrying an ICE BUCKET. VERONICA (V.O.) (CONT'D) You want an absolute? A sure thing? Well, there it is. Veronica Mars, spinster...old maid. Carve it in stone. CRANE SHOT follows man down a flight of exterior motel steps. VERONICA (V.O.) (CONT’D) I mean, come on. What’s the point? Sure, there’s that initial primal drive...hormonal surge...whatever you want to call it. Ride it out. Better yet, ignore it... As the man reaches the ground floor level and heads toward the ICE MACHINE next to the motel office, shot widens and includes the wet blacktop of the parking lot and the flickering neon of the CAMELOT MOTEL sign. VERONICA (CONT'D) ...Sooner or later, the people you love betray you. As the man crosses back toward his room, CAMERA STOPS on the door to the first floor ROOM 8. As the CAMERA PUSHES IN on the keyhole... VERONICA (V.O.) (CONT’D) And here’s where it ends up -- fat men, cocktail waitresses, cheap motels on the wrong side of town. REVERSE ANGLE on a nondescript sedan parked on the street facing the motel.
