Apollon gene silencing induces apoptosis in breast cancer cells via p53 stabilisation and caspase-3 activation

2009

We analysed the effects of small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated silencing of Apollon, a member of the inhibitors of apoptosis protein family, on the proliferative potential and ability of human breast cancer cell lines to undergo apoptosis. In wild-type p53 ZR75.1 cells, Apollon knockdown resulted in a marked, time-dependent decline of cell growth and an increased rate of apoptosis, which was associated with p53 stabilisation and activation of the mitochondrial-dependent apoptotic pathway. Pre-incubation of cells with a p53-specific siRNA resulted in a partial rescue of cell growth inhibition, as well as in a marked reduction of the apoptotic response, indicating p53 as a major player in …

THE ‘CRUCIFIED AND DEPOSED CHRIST’ OF MUSEO DIOCESANO OF PALERMO, ITALY. SCIENTIFIC STUDIES OF A SICILIAN PAPIER-MȂSCHÉ POLYCHROME SCULPTURE

2022

In this paper we describe scientific investigations on the artwork ‘Crucified and deposed Christ’ from the Diocesan Museum of Palermo. Multidisciplinary studies were carried out to obtain interesting information about constitutive materials and executive techniques of XVIII century Sicilian papier mâsché, as well as about the sculpture state of conservation and the recognition of the previous treatments.Examination of the polychrome sculpture was both non-invasive (IRR, IRC, UV fluorescence, EDXRF spectroscopy X-Radiography) and micro invasive (optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy SEM-EDX).SEM-EDX results showed the use of materials like…

Modélisation des effets des systèmes de culture sur la dynamique de la plante parasite orobanche rameuse en interaction avec les adventices

2019

Reducing pesticide use is a major challenge in agriculture and involves developing more sustainable methods that rely on non-chemical cropping techniques and biological regulations according to agroecological principles. Branched broomrape (Phelipanche ramosa (L.) Pomel) is a root parasitic plant which infects crops and causes dramatic yield losses worldwide. Managing broomrape is complex because it requires combining several cropping techniques whithin a global weed management strategy because broomrape is also able to infect non-parasitic weeds. The aim of this thesis was to stynthetize knowledge on branched broomrape dynamics in agroecosystems and to aggregate it within a mechanistic mod…

Les confréries, identités et discours.

2021

Rituel, intronisation, festival, patrimoine… pour quelle identité, quel territoire, quelle réalité ? Les confréries ouvrent un espace riche en significations que cet ouvrage explore dans toutes ses dimensions. A la fois recherches universitaires et témoignages, ce livre présente une analyse des pratiques, des usages mais aussi des symboles et des imaginaires véhiculés par les confréries vineuses. Il donne ainsi une certaine profondeur à ce qui peut sembler un simple amusement ou encore un rituel désuet dans une société qui cherche des valeurs. L'ouvrage invite à une réflexion par de-là les symboles. Les chapitres apportent une vision complémentaire de ce patrimoine immatériel, véhiculé par …

UN JOYAU ENTRE LA VILLE ET LE TERRITOIRE

2016

A partir de la notion de patrimoine culturel comme une carte d'identité communautaire, l'article traite le thème de la Vallée des Temples en relation avec la ville et le territoire. Une incohérence émerge de la magnificence de la Vallée des Temples, patrimoine UNESCO depuis 1997, connue pour ses ruines archéologiques, mais aussi pour son paysage agricole dans lequel celles-ci sont insérées :Agrigente et son territoire ne parviennent pas à bénéficier pleinement de la présence de son joyau, le grand “vide encore appréciable aujourd’hui, malgré les épisodes de constructions illégales. Le léger réveil culturel auquel nous avons assisté au cours de ces dernières années, est certainement le fruit…

Patterns of university teachers’ approaches to teaching, professional development and perceived departmental cultures

2019

Many studies have been conducted about academics’ approaches to teaching, professional development and perceived departmental culture, but their interconnectedness has been considered to a lesser extent. The research presented here examined these patterns comparatively by disciplinary fields and years of teaching experience. Three inventories were filled in by 1141 academics from one Finnish and two Hungarian universities. Based on a hierarchical cluster analysis, four patterns emerged: (1) Experimenters with diverse teaching approaches; (2) Experimenters perceiving their department’s culture as most supportive and collaborative; (3) Individualistic knowledge-focused teachers; and (4) Stude…

Diversifying crop rotations with temporary grasslands: potentials for weed management and farmland biodiversity

2010

Fruchtfolgen können dazu dienen, die kontinuierliche Selektion von Unkrautarten zu verhindern, die an eine bestimmte Kultur angepasst sind. Dies könnte dem Unkrautmanagement, der Einsparung von Herbiziden, und der Biodiversität dienen. Heutige, sehr einfache Furchtfolgen könnten durch mehrjährige Futterkulturen diversifiziert werden. Die Einflüsse solcher mehrjähriger Kulturen auf Unkräuter wurden in vier Ansätzen untersucht : 1) Vegetationsaufnahmen auf 632 Feldern in Westfrankreich zeigten, dass die Unkrautzusammensetzung zwischen mehrjährigen Futterkulturen und einjährigen Kulturen stark variiert. Der Vergleich von Feldern vor, während und nach mehrjährigen Futterkulturen legte nahe, das…
