▼ This dissertation explores the intersections of class relations, social mobility, and bodily self-care. In recent years, yoga has become increasingly accessible to Mexicans through state-sponsored initiatives executed in city spaces, low-income neighborhoods, and government institutes. My study of yoga’s production, promotion, and practice in these spaces and among diverse social sectors in Mexico City provides a window onto how Mexicans are maneuvering class boundaries, and are also being maneuvered by them. Twenty-four months of ethnographic research revealed an underlying tension between the ways yoga practitioners idealize social sameness and how they aspire for bodily (personal, social, national) transformation. It is in this space of tension where, I argue, class divisions are being challenged and reinforced, revealing both the likelihoods and limits of mobility in urban Mexico. Yoga’s promise for union affects Mexicans’ interactions with each other, impacts people’s expectations of themselves and others, and sometimes shifts life possibilities and impossibilities. It provides some people new credentials, labor options, and social status, and expands networks of mutual assistance. While the potential for mobility that yoga granted some Mexicans was remarkable, it involved new challenges, too; for some, in terms of its upkeep and, for others, its concealment. Here, mobility may be characterized by transition and instability, yet it is experienced as a relational transformation, one that offers Mexicans a kind of mobility I call constrained potential. Prospects for social mobility among working-class practitioners, for example, may be limited, but their modes of relating to others complicate our readings of class to allow for a richer analysis of how it is experienced. In this way, my analysis demonstrates that modalities of self-care feel empowering to practitioners at the same time that they offer a stark look at how structural differences in Mexico are being obscured by state-sponsored discourses of self-care. The practice of yoga is therefore both a reaction to rising inequalities (unequal chances to live “the good life” in Mexico), and emblematic of them, too: of the inability to secure work with stable pay or access affordable, quality health care.

▼ In the last decades, the Latin American middle-class is growing in size while becoming more heterogeneous. Sustained economic growth explains its increasing size. Nevertheless behind its heterogeneity there is not only the diversification of life-styles, but also the crystallization of a large process of upward social mobility of second and third generation migrants to capital cities and their incorporation into middle-class positions. In the last decades, these individuals have assimilated different spheres of socialization formerly occupied by the traditional middle-class: private schools, college and universities, middle-class jobs and occupations, and traditional middle-class neighborhoods. In this dissertation I study Residencial San Felipe, a quintessential traditional middle-class neighborhood in Lima, Perú, which is currently receiving an important influx of upward mobile families. Precisely, the case of San Felipe shows that inside the contemporary middle-class a strong boundary between the "traditional middle-class" and the "new middle-class" permeates the everyday life of the neighborhood. However, though this difference between the "traditional" and "new middle-class" is recognized by all residents of San Felipe, its relevance as well as the elements at the basis of this distinction varies according to cohorts' trajectories. Classic approaches to social phenomena as "group," "class," and "neighborhood" (generally considered as static and taken for granted) are not helpful to understand this tension inside San Felipe. Here I propose a relational-fluid perspective that puts emphasis on inter-group relations and mobility at different levels (in individuals' daily lives in routines, in their life-trajectories, and in the transformation of the social space itself). I found that the transformation of the social space generated different trajectories into middle-class positions; that trajectories in the social space (and not only positions in it) shape the symbolic boundaries that individuals use to classify others; and that daily routines affect the extent to which the neighborhood is relevant for their lives. In San Felipe, all these elements plus an intense work of organization makes the senior old-timers the more consolidated "practical group," who make their point of view of how things should be prevail, and with consequences for the other groups in San Felipe.

▼ The primary goal of this dissertation is to lay the groundwork for the eventual combination of micro and macro levels of class analysis into a unified theory. The first steps of this process require the creation of a micro level theory of class identity formation, a slight reconceptualization of the class map upon which the macro level theory is based, and an elaboration of the partial macro level theory provided by Wright (1997). At the micro level, I find the factors which contribute to class identity formation depend on which class identities are being distinguished. This result echoes the findings of Centers [1949] 1961, but moves beyond his analysis by quantifying the contribution of each of the factors to the predicted probability of selecting a class identity. At the macro level, I find that including partial ownership in Wright's class map uncovers important hidden variation among Wright's non-owning class locations. Separating partial owners from non-owners illustrates an important source of division in class consciousness not possible using Wright's class map. Finally, I further elaborate Wright's partial theory of class consciousness by demonstrating that McPherson's concept of socio-structural space can be usefully applied to the class structure, which provides a set of hypotheses to explain how class formation affects class consciousness. The solidarity hypothesis is supported, suggesting class based homogeneous friendship relations strengthen class consciousness in the polar class locations. Increasing class based social distance between friends, decreases the strength of an individual's class consciousness. While just the first steps, these advancements in theory and empirical results help further the cause of creating a unified theory of class by strengthening our understanding of both the micro and macro levels of class analysis. With these improvements in place, further work at both levels of analysis can continue the process of integrating the two levels of analysis. Advisors/Committee Members: Breiger, Ronald (committeemember), Ragin, Charles (committeemember).

The secondary sources were relevant policy documents, school reports previously written theses. A total of 190 sample respondents were used as primary sources of data. This includes 90 primary school teachers, 90 students, 6 primary school principals, 2 supervisors and 2 education officials from Yeka Sub-city. The teachers and students were selected by using systematic random sampling technique; the principals were selected by using purposive sampling technique because, they were selective, the data found from them was judgmental and nonprobability sampling technique whereas the supervisors and education officials were selected by using availability sampling technique because, they were available or easily found at research areas. Data collection tools were questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and observation checklist. The data were analyzed using frequency count and percentage. The data analysis led to the following major findings: the most frequently used methods of teaching were group discussion and role playing; lecture and demonstration methods were used “sometimes” whereas gaming was rarely used; the most serious causes of students misbehaviors in the primary schools were student-related and teacher-related causes; the preventive technique of classroom management used by teachers was found to be creating good relationships with the students; the most widely applied curative technique was separating misbehaving students. Finally, it was found out that the major challenges encountered teachers’ lack of interest for learning among students and lack of adequate supplementary learning materials. The main finding of the research is in order to overcome the problems of teaching and class room management of first cycle primary schools; teachers need incentives, continuous trainings and permanent motivational programs. In order to build their teaching and class room management skills, to control the high turnover and leaving jobs of teacher’s different incentives are very important. Lack of refresher training for teachers, problems such as lack of housing and adequate financial incentive led teachers less motivated for teaching and classroom management. Hence, it could be safely concluded that the practice of teaching and classroom management in first cycle primary schools of Yeka sub city was only moderately effective. Based on the findings and conclusion drawn, certain feasible recommendation was made. That is: The education experts and school authorities inYeka Subcity should strengthen the continuous professional… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Dessu Wirtu (advisor).

▼ With the increase in national income, demand for residential dwellings from the shelter, basic needs, thus taking into account the domestic situation, ventilation, lighting and other home within their own conditions, and noise, sanitation, etc. the quality of the external environment, gradually become the focus of concern, while the home security, life and leisure sports such as convenience demands increasing attention. In particular, the middle-class constitutes the backbone of society, to social development and stability of a great force in Kaohsiung local consumption patterns and cultural differences, the middle-class homebuyers demand for their own use and purchase of residential the decision-making may be different from other areas. Housing is a not a small number of financial decisions and expenditures, as housing is different from general merchandise, with durability, high prices and the repeat purchase rate of the smaller features, is the homebuyers in the decision-making process must be highly involved, and in the face of housing decisions, the consideration of the housing a myriad of factors. Residential properties for different homebuyers have different degrees of importance, is a very complex decision-making process, this study of " analytic hierarchy process (AHP) " to complex problems systematically, from different perspectives given level of decomposition and, through quantitative judgments, will be a comprehensive assessment of relevant information to provide homebuyers in the purchase decision-making appropriate and adequate information, decision-making aimed at resolving the difficulties of the temporary surface, reducing the risk of making a wrong decision, enabling more homebuyers transaction capacity to make the right decision.

▼ Catania (1973), in discussing the concept of the operant suggested responses should not be classified based on arbitrary criteria such as response function or topography alone, and rather should focus on the continuous distribution of responding. Catania (1973) hypothesised that response distributions would resemble a normal curve, even when reinforcement was provided for only those responses that occurred between two limits. Six domestic hens were used in a series of experiments in order to investigate Catania’s (1973) suggestion. In the first experiment the hens pecked at a flat screen with an infra-red device was mounted in front the screen to detect response location. Pecks in defined regions of the screen resulted in 3-s access to wheat. Over conditions, different quadrants of the screen were active. The whole screen remained white throughout each session except when the reinforcement was being delivered. The hens responded on a fixed-ration 5 schedule for 40 reinforcers per session. Over sessions the distribution of the locations of responses shifted to being centred over the active quadrant. Proportions of correct responses increased across sessions but incorrect responses persisted throughout. In Experiment 2 the screen was divided into ten 30-mm regions of which one was active in each condition while the whole screen remained white. The active region was moved in steps from the left to the right and from the right to the left of the screen over eleven conditions with eight sessions in each conditions and a fixed-ratio 5 schedule. In general, in each condition the proportion of correct responses increased to around 0.4. In each condition the distribution of response location shifted to being centred over the active region, resembling a normal distribution. In most cases, response rates on the active region were higher than for the inactive regions, hens usually responded on several regions at a moderate rate. In Condition 12 the active region was coloured red and this resulted in a narrower distribution of response locations, and higher proportions of correct response that other conditions for most hens. A large number of incorrect response persisted throughout this condition. These findings provide some evidence that supports Catania’s (1973) hypothetical response distributions. The argument is made that Catania’s (1973) concept of the operant could be a way to organise responses into a class and also that is provides a means of classifying response while maintaining the continuity of behaviour and, therefore, avoids the use of arbitrary criterion.

▼ What are the class culture differences among US progressive social movement groups? This mixed-methods study finds that activists speak and act differently depending on their class background, current class and upward, downward or steady class trajectory, confirming previous research on cultural capital and conditioned class predispositions. In 2007-8, 34 meetings of 25 groups in four movement traditions were observed in five states; 364 demographic surveys were collected; and 61 interviews were conducted. I compared activists' approaches to six frequently mentioned group problems. * Lifelong-working-class activists, usually drawn in through preexisting affiliations, relied on recruitment incentives such as food and one-on-one relationships. Both disempowered neophytes and experienced powerhouses believed in strength in numbers, had positive attitudes towards trustworthy leaders, and stressed loyalty and unity. * Lifelong-professional-middle-class (PMC) activists, usually individually committed to a cause prior to joining, relied on shared ideas to recruit. They focused more on internal organizational development and had negative attitudes towards leadership. Subsets of PMC activists behaved differently: lower professionals communicated tentatively and avoided conflict, while upper-middle-class people were more assertive and polished. * Upwardly mobile straddlers tended to promote their moral certainties within groups. A subset, uprooted from their working-class backgrounds but not assimilated into professional circles, sometimes pushed self-righteously and brought discord into groups. * Voluntarily downwardly mobile activists, mostly young white anarchists, drew the strongest ideological boundaries and had the most distinct movement culture. Mistrustful of new people and sometimes seeing persuasion as coercive, they had the weakest recruitment and group cohesion methods. Analysis of class speech differences found that working-class activists spoke more often but more briefly in meetings, preferred more concrete speech, and used more teasing and self-deprecating humor. The professional-middle-class (in background and/or current class) spoke longer but less often, preferred more abstract vocabulary, and used less negative humor. Group styles were formed by the interplay of members' predominant class trajectories and groups' movement traditions. Better understanding these class culture differences would enable activists to strengthen cross-class alliances to build more powerful social movements. Advisors/Committee Members: Willaim A. Gamson (Thesis advisor).

▼ This study will offer an insight into the complex living of a group of mid-thirties males in a small neighbourhood and describe their personal career journeys. In particular, the study will highlight the complex influence of social capital, the men’s personal development through the ‘opportunity structure’ (K. Roberts, 1977) and how chance along with place of residence impact on career advancement. There have been numerous studies that have sought to discover why people make stereotypical career choices. More specifically, how male stereotyping can influence career choice and shape identity. However, many studies fail to tackle the influence of neighbourhood and family bonding which engulfs the male individual to create a very close knit masculine gang of individuals. By taking the epistemological position of interpretivism and using a narrative interview approach, along with a life history tradition, this research addresses these shortcomings. Additionally, Bourdieu’s (1985) concept of social field is employed within this study to represent the various social arenas in which young people spend their time. This notion of fields, along with the concepts of ‘habitus’ and ‘capital’ (Bourdieu, 1985, 1986) are seen to create an effective framework for understanding the social worlds of young people and the community in which they belong. The data is drawn from 10 in-depth interviews with men in their mid-thirties, who were born and raised in an inner city neighbourhood. Despite poverty, deprivation and social exclusion, these 10 men now have a career but choose not to leave the neighbourhood of their birth. They have each turned their life around by being confident, persistent, and determined to succeed, thereby empowering other individuals and their community, to build their own ladders out of poverty and towards a brighter future. However, this is a close knit network of friends and family that according to the headteacher in the local secondary school are ‘unwilling to move the boundaries of opportunity and rely too much on the ways of the past’. Each interviewee has a story to tell and these stories are interwoven and analysed through common themes explored in depth in the thesis. These stories map out a career trajectory that is based on rites of passage into adulthood and an adult sense of masculinity. Throughout the interviews evidence is provided to support the argument that ‘opportunity structure’ (K. Roberts, 1977) plays an important role in the career path of young people. Furthermore, it is argued that career choice is a developmental process with many twists and turns along the way. However, it is further argued that an identity based on age, location, ethnicity, along with common interests and a shared purpose, creates a closed shop ethos, where education and employment are shaped by elders within the family and close friends. In fact, because everyone knows everyone else, a strong common bond between family and friends is displayed, this creates strong loyalties which are manifested in the behaviour of each…

Active circulators provide a compact high isolation solution for low power application with smaller size and less cost with compatibility with modern IC. Previous works are majorly working at low frequency and paid little attention to power and noise requirement of active quasi-circulator working at the front end of a transceiver. A BiCMOS active quasi-circulator at 44GHz is designed in 0.18 ?m process to provide high isolation low cost solution, which is comprised of in-phase divider and out-of-phase active combiner, with noise and power optimization. Moreover, techniques employed to improve isolation such as high Common mode rejection ratio(CMRR) balun design, common mode feedback, and novel method of power splitting and noise optimization, impedance matching scheme are discussed. High isolation of cascode structure is analyzed and major tradeoffs among characteristics are investigated, such as: gain and transmission-reception isolation; output impedance, matching and noise; linearity, power and efficiency. The circulator operates around 44 GHz with 3dB bandwidth of 4.53GHz, achieves maximum 2.897dBm input and 2.32dBm output power. Noise Figure (NF) is 10.62dB for reception path, only 0.03dB higher than NFmin. Linearity is reasonable for both in-phase divider and out-of-phase active combiner. OIP3 of in-phase divider is 8.15dBm, IIP3 is 4.48dBm, P1dB,in is -5.97dBm. OIP3 of out-of-phase active combiner is 5.18 dBm, IIP3 is 3.85dBm, P1dB, in is -2.79dBm. All the isolations better than -37 dB are achieved and forward gains better than 4 dB are achieved with power consumption 56.83mW. Large signal TX-RX isolation is 51.837dB. The circuit takes merely 1.415mm*1.014mm area. This active quasi-circulator offers a low cost substitute solution for circulator in low power applications.

▼ Bookmarked neatly by the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, the 1930s are often characterised as the decade in which writers felt compelled to engage in politics. According to one predominant critical narrative, modernist subjectivity and notions of aesthetic autonomy were eschewed in favour of a more direct involvement with the social and political realities of the time. This thesis explores, and follows in part, this interpretation of the decade’s literary direction by examining British documentary literature and its engagement with the social distress of the Depression. Driven by an intense fascination with the domestic working-classes (from which each of my professional “authors” remained outsiders), documentary writers journeyed to Britain’s industrial centres to experience working conditions directly. Writers of documentary literature took 1930s realist preoccupations to their most extreme by assuming the role, intentionally or not, of the anthropologist. Paradoxically, this move towards the empirical functioned as a means of crossing what C. P. Snow would later describe as the divide between the “two cultures” of science and arts. I apply Snow’s notion analogously, with documentary literature representing a bridging (depending on each text) of the divides between social science and literature, realism and modernism, political commitment and aesthetic autonomy, North and South, and between the working and middle-classes. My first chapter discusses Priestley’s English Journey (1934), which while crossing class and geographical divisions, stylistically remains the most conservative of my chosen texts and offers the most moderate example of a generic cultural crossing. The second chapter explores Grey Children (1937) by James Hanley, whose journalistic arrangement of verbatim working-class voices develops a modernist aesthetic. I then move to Orwell’s The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), which unusually for a text by a “literary” author includes extensive figures and statistics, but is more successful in documenting the gritty realities of working life through literary means. The final chapter centres on Mass-Observation’s The Pub and the People (1943) whose obsessive recording of even the most minute details of pub life develops into a bizarre, almost surrealist work of literature. The order of my four chosen texts does not imply a sense of literary value but rather traces a trajectory from the least to the most radical experiments in documentary literature.

▼ Immune pressure exerted by host factors including MHC class I-mediated cytotoxic T cell control affects HIV disease progression and drives the development of viral escape mutations; nonetheless, the relationship between host immunity and HIV central nervous system (CNS) disease remains poorly understood. The simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) macaque model recapitulates key features of HIV infection including development of AIDS and CNS disease. To investigate host factors regulating SIV CNS disease progression, we compared the incidence of SIV encephalitis and the effects of MHC class I allele expression on the development of CNS disease in pigtailed macaques versus rhesus macaques. Species-specific differences in susceptibility to SIV disease demonstrated that host factors are critical to SIV CNS disease progression. We extended these studies by examining CNS pathogenesis in pigtailed macaques expressing the MHC-I allele Mane-A1*084:01:01, which confers resistance to SIV-induced CNS disease in pigtailed macaques and induces viral development of prototypic escape (K165R) in the immunodominant SIV Gag KP9 epitope. Insertion of the Gag K165R escape mutation into molecularly cloned SIV/17E-Fr resulted in reduced viral replication compared to wildtype SIV/17E-Fr in vitro. To investigate viral fitness in vivo, we inoculated six Mane-A1*084:01:01 expressing macaques: three with SIV/17E-Fr K165R, and three with wildtype, parental SIV/17E-Fr. We found lower CSF, but not plasma, viral loads in animals inoculated with SIV/17E-Fr K165R versus those inoculated with wildtype, and although the escape mutation K165R was genotypically stable in the plasma, it rapidly reverted to wildtype Gag KP9 in both CSF and in microglia. To induce Gag KP9-specific CTL immune pressure, we vaccinated two Mane-A*084:01:01 expressing pigtailed macaques with Gag KP9 peptide loaded onto a virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine. Both animals developed robust KP9-specific tetramer responses to vaccination, and upon challenge with SIV/17E-Fr, developed lower viral replication in the CSF but not the plasma. These data clearly demonstrate that viral fitness in the CNS is distinct from the periphery. As therapeutic vaccination strategies to enhance CTL responses against HIV Gag could promote HIV escape, it is vital that we understand the consequences of viral escape on CNS disease.

▼ Improving the quality of urban residential environment is one of the main concerns and the knowledge of individual-level housing preferences is essential for urban planning and sustainable development. However, micro-level empirical studies on housing preferences are insufficient, especially in urban China who has experienced tremendous changes during the urban housing reform. This thesis therefore aims at exploring whether and how the consumers’ preferences on housing attributes vary with the demographic and socio-economic characteristics, with the stated preference data collected from Guangzhou during March and April in 2014. Among the total 655 distributed and collected questionnaires, 349 respondents are satisfied with the consistency requirement and are used in the analyses. An overview of the urban housing system reform in China is presented at the first place, with special reference to Guangzhou, which sets the context of this study. Based on an extensive literature review, eighteen housing attributes are identified and grouped into four categories, namely the dwelling characteristics, location features, neighborhood physical environment, and neighborhood social environment. These attributes are structured into hierarchy and the AHP model is employed to elicit the judgments through pairwise comparisons with the ratio scale. The relative importance of the housing attributes can be quantitatively estimated. Furthermore, the lifecycle/life-course approach is utilized as a tool to organize the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the residents. Subsequently, the samples are divided into different groups on the basis of tenure type, marriage status, age, the presence of children, highest education level achieved, and household monthly income level. The mean category weights and the mean factor weights are calculated using the arithmetic mean of the overall sample and different groups. It is found that housing preferences are diverse among the respondents, which are contributed to by the freedom of choice and increasing alternatives to choose from as results of the urban housing reform in the past 35 years. According to the overall mean category weights and mean factor weights, it is found that generally the location of the residence has dominant importance in consumers’ choice, followed by neighborhood physical environment and social environment, while the mean weight of dwelling characterizes is the lowest. Specifically, significant attributes include ‘sense of safety’, ‘medical facilities’, ‘education facilities’, ‘proximity to workplace’, ‘public transportation’ and ‘job opportunities’. More importantly, consumers with different demographic characteristics at different lifecycle stages show different preferences on housing attributes. This study is a preliminary attempt in measuring housing preferences directly in the context of China. Instead of using observed actual choice data to estimate the monetary value of housing attributes, the AHP enables the estimation of the relative importance…

▼ The class structure of Britain has changed considerably since the 1970s. The gap between the rich and poor has grown, and many individuals can no longer be classified into traditional middle- and working-class categories. Despite polarisation and fragmentation, however, social class has continued to shapes individuals’ daily lives and life-chances. There are distinct class inequalities in education and leisure that appear to be resistant to intervention. Governments and other public organisations have invested considerable funds and deployed various policies, but individuals from affluent backgrounds continue to do better in the education system and be more active in their leisure time than individuals from deprived backgrounds. Academics have also turned their attention to class inequalities in education and leisure, especially of late. Research indicates that such inequalities emerge during early childhood and remain through youth and into adulthood. This, along with evidence of the limited effectiveness of interventions delivered through schools, has made one thing clear: to explain the production and reproduction of class inequalities in education and leisure and do something about them through policy, researchers and governments must look to the family. The ways in which parents from different social classes are involved and invest in their children’s education and leisure have been researched quite extensively. However, the findings in many of the studies are un-integrated and de-contextualised. In addition, much of the research is deductive – academics have tended to test theories and the significance particular family variables and processes. This thesis, therefore, set out to produce a grounded theory of class-specific patterns of parenting in relation to children’s education and leisure. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a case study of parents and children from a small city in the north-west of England. Two main social classes emerged out of the case study, a group tentatively described as an ‘under-class’ and a middle-class divided into fractions. It was found that social class impacted upon several areas of family life, and differences in these areas of family life clustered together to form class-specific patterns of parenting. The under-class pattern of parenting was conceptualised as ‘essential assistance’. It conveys the present-centred and basic involvement of the parents – they did not think a great deal about the future but did what was necessary to keep their children up with their peers on a day-to-day basis. The middle-class pattern of parenting was conceptualised as ‘concerted cultivation’. It conveys the forward-thinking and deliberate nature of the parents’ involvement. Also, the meticulous lengths to which the parents went – every aspect of their children’s development was open to pruning. The middle-class parents were involved in their children’s education and leisure in similar ways, but to different degrees. Thus, concerted cultivation can be regarded as gradational.…
