Rockefeller IV School of Policy and Politics within the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science. Christina Fattore, Ph.D., Chair David Hauser, Ph.D. Philip Michelbach, Ph.D. Karen Culcasi, Ph.D. Robert Maxon, Ph.D. Department of Political Science Morgantown, West Virginia 2018 Key words: Market-based aid, Non-market aid, Economic reform, Economic growth and development. Copyright 2018 Neron Thomas Abstract: Market-based aid and economic reform Neron R. Thomas This study examines the empirical links between market-based aid and economic reform in sub-Sahara Africa. My research question: Is market-based aid necessary for economic reform across sub-Sahara Africa? To answer that question, I applied both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Specifically, regression analyses were conducted to determine whether or not causality could be established between my dependent and independent variables. 22 sub- Saharan states were used. In addition, two case studies (Ghana and Senegal) were conducted to help explain some of the cultural nuances that may be missing from the statistical analysis. As a result of the Washington Consensus, International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and advanced economies have advocated for economic reforms – namely macro-level neoliberal structural adjustments - to help facilitate sustainable economic growth and development across emerging economies. This approach has been critiqued in the past since it uses a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach and assumes that since similar reform efforts were successful in the west, then they should work in the sub-Sahara region absent of accounting for internal nuances such as cultural and traditional values, customs, structures and conditions. I argue that more market-based aid could be the best way forward, especially if economic reform efforts are tailored toward four key conduits that are essential for driving subsequent economic growth and development: government capacity, economic freedom, private sector investments, and domestic savings. I hypothesized the aforementioned are positively linked with market-based aid. Neron Thomas Dedication & acknowledgements: I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my father, Rupert A. Thomas, for seeing some potential in me from an early age when I did not see it in myself; for making countless sacrifices working in some of the harshest places in the Middle East and Africa to invest in my potential when he could have invested in bettering himself, and for the patience he has consistently exercised in spite of me sabotaging his efforts on numerous occasions – whether it was failing to attend school, poor academic performance, and getting suspended and later expelled from high school for demonstrating frequent disciplinary issues. Though disappointed by many of my actions, and rightful so, he remained committed to saving me from myself. There are not enough fathers like him around. Many would have given up after few mistakes, but despite my endless mistakes he has always been there to give meaningful advice and guidance to get me back on track. If I am to ever become half the man and father he is, I would be beyond proud. Thank you for anchoring me over the years and opening my eyes to the notion that I can make it to and succeed in college. You are truly my inspiration! Acknowledgements: First and foremost, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to my Dissertation Chair, Dr. Christina Fattore, for the continuous and meaningful support she has provided throughout my research endeavor. As expected, there were numerous obstacles, but her guidance and words of motivation never wavered even in light of my growing frustrations. It is my firm belief that without her guidance and support I would not have been able to navigate this process. Dr. Fattore, thank you! iii Neron Thomas In addition, I believe my dissertation committee: Dr. Culcasi, Dr. Hauser, Dr. Michelbach, and Dr. Maxon are also deserving of being acknowledged for the pivotal roles they have played in my research. Their commitment and contributions through insightful and critical feedback and encouragement have been invaluable in helping me to prepare and complete my research. This dissertation would not have been possible without the roles of other individuals who have contributed to my growth in various ways. Therefore, their contributions are worthy of being highlighted as well. I would like to thank my mother, Claudette Johnson, for her continued support throughout my life. Being a single mother tasked with raising two rambunctious boys to their teens is never easy. I have witnessed her cry many times for the difficulties we contributed to. We were not cognizant of how our actions affected her due our tender ages and oftentimes perceived natural rebellious ways. Yet, she showed strength and commitment in raising us the best she could. That is why I was not surprised at her reaction when our father proposed sending us to boarding school in an unfamiliar continent and country. But, in retrospect, that was one of the best decisions she has made since it saved our lives from the harsh realities of living in Guyana. So, I just want to take this moment to truly say thank you! I know my brother and I generally have problems expressing our appreciation for all you have done for us, especially in light of all the challenges, but I hope you know you are sincerely appreciated. Next, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my step-mother, Jayne Thomas, for always showing interest in my wellbeing, academics, and growth. When we first met in 1996, I did not expect much, but she has surprised me in many ways over the years. She has always been iv Neron Thomas there to provide remedies during times of difficulties; encouraged my father to continue supporting my brother and I when we indulged in juvenile foolishness or not taking life seriously enough; and provided motherly support when necessary. You have certainly been a ‘value added’ to my life. Thank you! In addition, I would like to thank my grandparents, Rupert Aubrey Thomas, Sr. and Irene Thomas, who were taken too soon for me to get sufficient time to know them well. Additionally, thanks to Ismay Cleaver Johnson and Llewellyn Prince Johnson for consistently providing wise counsel throughout my earlier years. I truly wish you could have all been here to witness me develop into the person I have become. Your contributions to my life have been invaluable, and I hope that you are resting peacefully knowing that your guidance and teachings will forever be cherished. This list will not be complete without also extending my gratitude to Dr. Karen Kunz. I cannot count the number of times I felt defeated and unprepared for graduate school. However, whenever I went to her office to discuss my intentions to withdraw from school and return home, she always had a way of motivating me by sharing similar life experiences and helping me to put things into perspective. Even after I graduated from the MPA program, she continued to provide much needed mentorship and guidance as I tried to navigate not only school but life as well. Therefore, it is only fitting that I write this brief note of thanks! Dr. Kunz, thank you – not only for what you have done for me but also the tremendous things you do for other graduate students as well in making them feel appreciated. Your mentorship has been comforting and valued. Thank you very much, everyone! You will not be forgotten. Neron R.

  • Drosophila Ribosomal Proteins Are Associated with Linker Histone H1 and Suppress Gene Transcription
    Downloaded from genesdev.cshlp.org on October 2, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Drosophila ribosomal proteins are associated with linker histone H1 and suppress gene transcription Jian-Quan Ni,1,3 Lu-Ping Liu,1,3 Daniel Hess,1 Jens Rietdorf,1 and Fang-Lin Sun1,2,4 1Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, Basel CH-4058, Switzerland; 2Institute of Epigenetics and Cancer Research, School of Medicine, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100080, China The dynamics and function of ribosomal proteins in the cell nucleus remain enigmatic. Here we provide evidence that specific components of Drosophila melanogaster ribosomes copurify with linker histone H1. Using various experimental approaches, we demonstrate that this association of nuclear ribosomal proteins with histone H1 is specific, and that colocalization occurs on condensed chromatin in vivo. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis confirmed that specific ribosomal proteins are associated with chromatin in a histone H1-dependent manner. Overexpression of either histone H1 or ribosomal protein L22 in Drosophila cells resulted in global suppression of the same set of genes, while depletion of H1 and L22 caused up-regulation of tested genes, suggesting that H1 and ribosomal proteins are essential for transcriptional gene repression. Overall, this study provides evidence for a previously undefined link between ribosomal proteins and chromatin, and suggests a role for this association in transcriptional regulation in higher eukaryotes.

  • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Decapitation
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Decapitation. Dismemberment. Serial killers. Graphic gore. Hey, Kids! COMICS!! Since the release of The Dark Knight film series and the 22 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, comic-book characters have become wildly popular in other forms of entertainment, particularly television. But broadcast TV’s representations of comic-book characters are no longer the bright, colorful, and optimistic figures of the past. Children are innately attracted to comic-book characters; but in today’s comic book-based programs, children are being exposed to graphic violence, profanity, dark and intense themes, and other inappropriate content. In this research report, the PTC examined comic book-themed prime-time programming on the maJor broadcast networks during November, February, and May “sweeps” periods from November 2012 through May 2019. Programs examined were Fox’s Gotham; CW’s Arrow, Black Lightning, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends oF Tomorrow, and Riverdale; and ABC’s Marvel’s Agents oF S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel’s Agent Carter, and Marvel’s Inhumans. Research data suggest that broadcast television programs based on these comic-book characters, created and intended for children, are increasingly inappropriate and/or unsafe for young viewers. In its research, the PTC found the following during the study period: • In comic book-themed programming with particular appeal to children, young viewers were exposed to over 6,000 incidents of violence, over 500 deaths, and almost 2,000 profanities. • The most violent program was CW’s Arrow. Young viewers witnessed 1,241 acts of violence, including 310 deaths, 280 instances of gun violence, and 26 scenes of people being tortured.

  • The Pattern of the Religious Disputes Judaism, Christianity and Islam from Spain to Caucasus
    Teresianum 48 (1997/1) 313-372 THE PATTERN OF THE RELIGIOUS DISPUTES JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM FROM SPAIN TO CAUCASUS ADRIANA MITESCU The genre of competitions or debate between on the one hand the pagans' idolatries and the monotheism and on the other the three monotheist religions, is well diffused in the me­ dieval Jewish and Arabic literature and in the Christian hagio­ graphies. The pagans, such as: Egyptians, Chaldaics, Babylo­ nians, Romans, Greeks, etc. had developed philosophical schools like Aristotelism, Neo-Platonism, Mazdaism, Shamani­ sm, Gnosticism. The literary, religious and philosophical pattern of the competitions between pagans and Jews, Christians or Mu­ slims enables missionary wise to compare the teachings and be­ liefs in an effort to prove the superiority of one or another reli­ gion. The tales begin with a general discussion of religion and prophecy and continue with descriptions of each of the three re­ ligions: principles, questions and objections followed by replies of the faithful and the heathen who will come round to new faith. The aim of any religious dispute is the conversion and thus the philosopher, the magian, the persian indovine, the wise, the Jewish scholar, the Christian monk ascetic or the caliph ex­ pound their faith. An early, unique and strange book seems to be Bardesanes' The Dialogue of the Laws of Nations1 which dates back to the end of the third century, or short time after Barde­ sanes’ death in 222. The text, written in Syrian language, is a synthesis2 of the chaldaic astrology, the stoic and aristotelic phi­ losophy, the ethnographic aspects of customs and institutions of different countries, the oriental wisdom and Christianity.
