You've Earned It! Searching for a Defensible Basis for Desert in Wages.

Abstract/Description
-
In my thesis, I propose a new theory of wages as deserved income. I take a look at two prominent philosophers’ discussions on the subject, and find they are both lacking. George Sher believes that desert in wages can best be explained by appealing to the violation of moral standards that dictate how we believe the world should be. He says that, because subordinating our labor to another’s ends (i.e. ‘working’) violates some “independent standard,” wages are deserved to offset this loss of...

George Sher believes that desert in wages can best be explained by appealing to the violation of moral standards that dictate how we believe the world should be. He says that, because subordinating our labor to another’s ends (i.e. ‘working’) violates some “independent standard,” wages are deserved to offset this loss of autonomy. A wage is “uniquely suited” to allow a worker to pursue his own goals in turn, says Sher. Joel Feinberg argues that, as far as wages are deserved at all, they are deserved only as compensation for especially difficult, dangerous or unpleasant work, and that they can only explain deserved differentials in pay. He rejects the idea that deserved wages can be explained as a reward. My own theory, briefly, is this: wages are deserved as a reward after a worker has (1) put forth an effort that (2) has been directed toward the end of another and (3) is socially valuable. Finally, I survey the literature in the living wage movement. Finding it lacking in the language of desert, I propose that the proponents of a living wage adopt an argument like mine. That is, I suggest they give to desert a more central role in their discussions about why workers should receive a living wage.

Your Diligent Looking Discover the Lacking: Individual and Societal Reconciliation in Isherwood and Auden's 1930S Literature.

Abstract/Description

The work aims to explore the similarities and differences between Christopher Isherwood and W.H. Auden's 1930s literature. As unique authors within the decade, emphasizing artifice and aesthetics in relation to socially-conscious writing, both artists provide an interesting study of one sub-category of 1930s literature. Defining themselves against the likes of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, Auden and Isherwood attempt to retain the aesthetic-driven forms of 1920s Modernism while further...

Chromatin structure plays a critical role in the regulation of the human genome. An understanding of the role of chromatin structure and its relationship to gene regulation is critical to developing new strategies to prevent and treat diseases.

Show moreChromatin structure plays a critical role in the regulation of the human genome. An understanding of the role of chromatin structure and its relationship to gene regulation is critical to developing new strategies to prevent and treat diseases. We chose to investigate the anti-inflammatory response of human macrophage like cell line (THP1) to Zymosan, in order to elucidate the regulation of chromatin. Zymosan is a component the fungal cell wall that induces an innate immune response. After THP1 were treated with zymosan, we hypothesized that the fungal infection would initiate an inflammatory response by altering nucleosome redistribution and/or altering chromatin structure in a time dependent manner. Based on previous results that showed rapid, widespread, transient changes in nucleosome distribution in the innate immune response, we chose to look at multiple time points at high temporal resolution: 0 (control), 20', 40', 60', 80', 100', 2h, 3h, 4h and 12h. We measured nucleosome distribution at each of these time points at hundreds of genes transcription start sites involved in the immune response. nucleosome distribution changes in the innate immune response to fungal infection.

Picture Superiority Effect on Encoding and Reminding
-
Abstract/Description
-
Recent literature has demonstrated that if someone studies one list of word pairs followed by another list of word pairs in which the second half of some of the pairs have changed (e.g., they saw “knee-bone” on the first list and “knee-bend” on the second list), this change can remind them of the pair’s presence on the original list and improve memory performance for both of the pairs. Previously, this kind of design would lead researchers to observe interference, which would cause memory...
Show moreRecent literature has demonstrated that if someone studies one list of word pairs followed by another list of word pairs in which the second half of some of the pairs have changed (e.g., they saw “knee-bone” on the first list and “knee-bend” on the second list), this change can remind them of the pair’s presence on the original list and improve memory performance for both of the pairs. Previously, this kind of design would lead researchers to observe interference, which would cause memory performance to suffer; the discovery of the memory enhancing effects of reminders inspired further research to understand how their underlying mechanisms and what makes them more likely to occur. The presented research examines whether picture-word pairs will trigger more remindings than word-word pairs on the presumption that the picture superiority effect will play an important role. The results indicate that participants did experience more remindings for the picture-word pairs than for the word-word pairs and that better memory performance for picture-word pairs is due to a combination of this effect and an encoding effect.
