Revisionismo histórico y racismo en la jurisprudencia constitucional : los límites de la libertad de expresión (a propósito de la STC 235/2007)
2007
Después de plantear la contradicción existente en la jurisprudenciaconstitucional que, por una parte, admite el revisionismo histórico conel límite del respeto a la dignidad y, por otra parte, reconoce con lamáxima amplitud la libertad ideológica, se analiza la STC 235/2007que ha declarado inconstitucional el delito de negación del genocidioy, en cambio, ha considerado constitucional la penalización de la justificacióndel genocidio. Esta sentencia ha clarificado parcialmente lasituación del revisionismo histórico y, en general, de la difusión de ideascontrarias a la Constitución pero sigue existiendo aquella contradicción;no obstante, ha aportado elementos como la distinción entreideas y ac…
Niche partitioning amongst northwestern Mediterranean cetaceans using stable isotopes
2021
Abstract Ten species of cetaceans coexist in the Mediterranean Sea, one of the richest seas in biodiversity and endemisms worldwide. The conservation status of Mediterranean cetaceans has been a concern for many years, particularly due to increasing anthropogenic threats such as global warming and overfishing. We established the stable isotopic niches of carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur for five species of cetaceans inhabiting the northwestern Mediterranean Sea to elucidate the mechanisms of coexistence. The fin whale exploited epipelagic habitats with a low trophic level; the bottlenose dolphin was mostly neritic and had a high trophic level; the Risso’s dolphin was oceanic and fed bathypelag…
On the identity of Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman 1948) (Parasitiformes, Phytoseiidae): redescription of the species and description of the new species …
2016
ABSTRACTNeoseiulus fallacis (Garman) is a broadly commercialised phytoseiid mite used in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes especially in northern and southern America. However, its taxonomic status was, until now, equivocal because no redescription based on type material had ever been made. The authors redescribe N. fallacis from type material in Garman’s collection, designating the lectotype and paralectotypes for the species. Moreover, a new species of the fallacis complex, discovered among the fallacis type material, is described and named N. garmani sp. nov. in honour of Philip Garman.

The Carnism Inventory: Measuring the ideology of eating animals.
2016
Beliefs surrounding the practice of eating animals are widely held, and have been argued to constitute an ideology named carnism (Joy, 2009). We developed and validated the novel Carnism Inventory to measure two positively related components of carnistic beliefs: carnistic defense and carnistic domination. We anticipated that carnistic defense would legitimate the practice of eating animals, while carnistic domination would support the killing of animals for their meat. The Carnism Inventory showed the hypothesized two-dimensional structure as well as good internal consistencies and stability (N = 302, Study 1). We also demonstrated the convergent and discriminant validity of the Carnism In…
Epigenetic Regulation of TRAIL Signaling: Implication for Cancer Therapy
2019
International audience; One of the main characteristics of carcinogenesis relies on genetic alterations in DNA and epigenetic changes in histone and non-histone proteins. At the chromatin level, gene expression is tightly controlled by DNA methyl transferases, histone acetyltransferases (HATs), histone deacetylases (HDACs), and acetyl-binding proteins. In particular, the expression level and function of several tumor suppressor genes, or oncogenes such as c-Myc, p53 or TRAIL, have been found to be regulated by acetylation. For example, HATs are a group of enzymes, which are responsible for the acetylation of histone proteins, resulting in chromatin relaxation and transcriptional activation,…
De la querelle du quinquina à la querelle de l’hydroxychloroquine, ou comment notre système de protection du médicament est mis à l’épreuve : une ana…

Resume La querelle actuelle sur l’utilisation de l’hydroxychloroquine, dans le cadre de la coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19), trouve un echo dans une autre querelle, celle du quinquina, qui prit place au XVIIe siecle. Cet aparte historique est de nature a nous rappeler que les disputes scientifiques ont toujours existe, et il n’est donc pas etonnant que les proprietes de l’hydroxychloroquine soient sujettes a polemique. Cependant, les faits sont les faits : son efficacite est douteuse, alors que les risques sont certains. C’est pourquoi en France le Premier ministre a fait le choix d’encadrer sa prescription par un decret. Mais ce decret, bien que surement la seule option possible, soulev…

Economists and Eugenics: Progressive Era Racism and its (Jewish) Discontents
2017
This chapter analyzes the contribution to the debates on labor and immigration of a group of Jewish academicians and reformers who, during the second half of the Progressive Era, explicitly took a stance against the racialist and eugenic rhetoric of the period. This group includes first-rank economists like Edwin R. A. Seligman, Jacob H. Hollander, and Emanuel A. Goldenweiser; influential field specialists such as Isaac A. Hourwich and Isaac M. Rubinow; and relatively less known figures like Max J. Kohler and Samuel K. Joseph. By focusing on the voices of these dissenters, this chapter enriches the emerging picture of Progressive Era eugenic and racial thought.
