Role of Type I and II Interferons in Colorectal Cancer and Melanoma

2017

Cancer can be considered an aberrant organ with a hierarchical composition of different cell populations. The tumor microenvironment, including the immune cells and related cytokines, is crucial during all the steps of tumor development. In particular, type I and II interferons are involved in a plethora of mechanisms that regulate immune responses in cancer, thus balancing immune escape versus immune surveillance. Interferons are involved in both the direct and indirect regulation of cancer cell proliferation and metastatic potential. The mutational background of genes involved in interferons signaling could serve as a prognostic biomarker and a powerful tool to screen cancer patients elig…

I meccanismi del potere. Queimada

2016

La genesi di Queimada, le suggestioni del ’68 e la parziale delusione di Pontecorvo di fronte ad alcune premesse in parte frustrate. La necessità di coniugare la narrazione al passato per parlare del presente. Ancora uno sguardo sul colonialismo. La contrapposizione tra i personaggi di William Walker di José Dolores, e tra i rispettivi interpreti: la preparazione accademica di Marlon Brando contro l’istintivo naturalismo di Evaristo Márquez. Il discorso sulla rappresentazione e sulla messa in scena, metaforizzato dalla duplice dicotomia Walker/Dolores e Brando/Márquez. Problemi distributivi con la United Artists. Un’accoglienza critica controversa e una tardiva rivalutazione.

Literatura infantil e ideología: propuesta de análisis

2009

Tras unas breves consideraciones introductorias en torno al concepto de ideología, el artículo analiza la aportación que la crítica postcolonial contemporánea ha realizado al análisis del aspecto representacional de los textos literarios y a la lectura de los valores (políticos, literarios, morales) que éstos denotan. Tras una breve referencia a los autores y a las obras más representativas de esta corriente crítica, se analiza la importancia que el estudio de la hibridación de lenguas tiene para el estudio de la ideología. Ejemplos extraídos de la obra de Bernardo Atxaga y pautas para el análisis de la ideología de los textos artísticos completan el artículo.

Corporate storytelling and the idea of Latin America

2021

The aim of this article is contributing to a great variety of theoretical perspectives and empirical settings to generate cumulative evidence about the influence of historical legacies and organisational ability for managing the past. In a continuation of critical perspectives that challenges the dominance of Anglo-Saxon onto-epistemologies in management and organisation studies (MOS), we conducted an empirical study on a multinational airline company whose past successes depended on the North/South, Anglo/Latin American borderlands. We analysed the grand narratives of Pan American Airways' (PAA) corporate archival material to determine its dominant discourses about people from Latin Americ…

Viaggia(u)tori inglesi in Italia. la 'culla della civilta'' nelle rappresentazioni del Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. 1850-1900

2008

Following the concept of culture expressed by Williams, the idea of the text identified by McEnzie and the theoretical developments of Colonial Studies and New Historicism, the essay aims at identifying the discoursive paradigms through which the Blackwood’s Edinburgh Review textualizes, from 1850 to 1890, the encounter between British ‘viaggia (u) tori’ (travellers and authors at the same time) of the second half of the XIX century and Italy with particular reference to the configuration of the spaces and identity of the Other. The travelogues analysed, which had a wide diffusion according to the spread of the Victorian periodicals during the century, despite focussing on Italy without com…

Ecología de un roedor colonizador, el lirón careto (Eliomys quercinus) en una zona agrícola del este de la Península Ibérica

2016

La agricultura ha transformado grandes superficies de la tierra en hábitats antropizados en los que habitan muchas especies. Sin embargo, los cambios ligados al desarrollo de la reciente agricultura moderna han supuesto un serio impacto para esta biodiversidad agraria. A pesar de ello, algunas especies de hábitos generalistas son capaces aún de colonizar este tipo de hábitats debido a sus características y estrategias. En esta tesis se analizan los aspectos principales en relación con la reciente y exitosa colonización por parte del lirón careto Eliomys quercinus, un roedor generalista cuya área de distribución se extiende por gran parte de Europa, de una parcela de cultivo de naranjos del …

MAPS OUT OF PLACE: DISPLACING CARTOGRAPHY IN THE REALM OF CONTEMPORARY ART

2015

As Brian Harley wrote: “maps are too important to be left to cartographers alone” (2001: 239). Not for nothing maps have played a pivotal role as weapons of imperialism, as discursive formations disciplining the link between academic practice and political power and acting as social hieroglyphics in the words of Marx. The aim of this paper is plotting a course towards a divergent use of map-making as creative process and as a set of tactics to destabilize, challenge and re-imagine geographical mapping practices, moving beyond\behind their direct link with power, war and the male Western “episteme”. What is at stake in this provisional critical route is to understand what function and dysfun…

Diverse societies are more productive: a lesson from ants

2012

The fitness consequences of animal personalities (also known as behavioural syndromes) have recently been studied in several solitary species. However, the adaptive significance of collective personalities in social insects and especially of behavioural variation among group members remains largely unexplored. Although intracolonial behavioural variation is an important component of division of labour, and as such a key feature for the success of societies, empirical links between behavioural variation and fitness are scarce. We investigated aggression, exploration and brood care behaviour in Temnothorax longispinosus ant colonies. We focused on two distinct aspects: intercolonial variabil…
