Cadburys' new factory system, 1879-1919

This thesis examines the reasons for Cadburys' move from a city centre site to a greenfield site in Bournville in 1879 and the subsequent development of the factory and the Bournville community. The founding of the Bournville Village Trust by George Cadbury is discussed in relation to the Garden City movement. The welfare and personnel management policies which Cadburys adopted in the 1900s are considered in relation to welfarism in general, especially in the United States. The extent to which the idea of a `Quaker employer' can explain Cadburys policies is questioned both methodologically and empirically. The early use of scientific management at Bournville is described and related to Edward Cadbury's writings on the subject. Finally, the institution of a Works Council Scheme in 1918 is described and its uses are discussed. It is concluded that Cadburys instituted a new factory system in this period which consisted of a synthesis of ideas borrowed from elsewhere and that for a variety of reasons Cadburys was an appropriate site for their implementation.

A City's Toys: Theatre in Birmingham 1914-1918

This chapter provides a wide-ranging account of theatre in Birmingham, the UK’s second largest city. As a vital centre for the production of mass armaments and vehicles essential for the war effort, Birmingham was home to a rapidly expanding and socially diverse population. I show how theatres overcame wartime constraints to reflect that diversity with examples drawn from the popular entertainment provided by the city’s music halls, variety and melodrama theatres contrasted with the more decorous touring plays, musicals and spectacular home-grown pantomimes enjoyed at the prestigious Theatre Royal and Prince of Wales. The dogged attempts by the recently-established Birmingham Repertory Theatre to sustain an artistically and intellectually ambitious programme of new and classic drama also reveal a more complex response to the effects of war.

Augmentation de l'immunogénicité de la nucléoprotéine de l'influenza par multimérisation in vitro

Les travaux effectués au cours de ce mémoire ont permis de développer une alternative aux vaccins présentement utilisés contre le virus de l’influenza. Nous avons utilisé la nucléoprotéine (NP) de l’influenza comme base vaccinale puisque cette protéine est conservée chez les souches d’influenza A et qu’elle possède un potentiel de protection croisée. Nous avons montré que la multimérisation de la NP grâce à un gabarit d’ARN permet d’augmenter son immunogenicité. Cette multimérisation en pseudo-nucléoparticule virale (NLP) a augmenté la réponse humorale et cellulaire spécifique à NP et l’ajout d’un adjuvant (PAL) a permis d’amplifier davantage la réponse humorale contre NP. Une dose du vaccin candidat NLP-PAL n’a pas réussi à protéger des souris contre une infection létale avec une souche homotypique d’influenza. Cependant, des résultats avec un régime de deux immunisations montrent des résultats encourageants qui permettent d’espérer une protection envers une infection virale.
