A MiR-142-3p/EGR2 Feedback Circuitry In Human CSF-1 Driven Differentiation of Monocytes Into Macrophages
2011
Abstract Abstract 2366 Colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1 or M-CSF) triggers the differentiation of human peripheral blood monocytes into macrophages through and integrated cytokine/transcription factors circuitry. Using microarray profiling to explore the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in this molecular circuitry, we identified the down-regulation of miR-142-3p in human macrophages obtained from CSF-1-treated monocytes. We show that miR-142-3p is a repressor of the transcription factor EGR2 (Early Growth Response 2) through direct 3'UTR interactions. Interestingly, EGR2 binds the promoter of the pre-miR-142-3p gene to negatively regulate its expression, identifying a self-regulatory feedback l…
Memoria y paz. Perspectivas decoloniales en la construcción de la memoria colectiva
2018
The objective of this article is to analyse methodological principles in studies that link the construction of memory with decolonisation. Based on two decolonial approaches, the colonial and epistemic difference, a comparative study of collaborative research on memory in Latin America was carried out. This analysis contributes to the conceptual-critical reflection of the construction of memory in a decolonial framing and presents through innovative methodologies meaning shifts of official narratives. In conclusion, it proposes the integration of the territorial dimension and the subjectivity of the participants and their communities as a way of transformation towards peaceful societies
The Romanian Academic Novel and Film through the Postcommunism/Postcolonialism Lens
2019
The last two decades have witnessed an intensified academic interest in a potential rapprochement between Postcolonial Studies and Postcommunist Studies, the former a firmly established discipline in global academia, while the existence of the latter as a discipline in its own right is still debatable. As the possibility of this alliance is – as was to be expected – both contested and supported by various scholars, this article attempts to investigate this issue as illustrated by the postcommunist Romanian academic novel. Aware as it is of contemporary intellectual debates, the genre of the academic (or campus) novel seems particularly suitable for shedding light on the matter: academic fic…
La condizione metropolitana. Il postcoloniale, l'intercultura, la presa della parola
2014
The term metropolis has a double meaning: it indicates the motherland in the colonialist historical movement and, at the same time, the urban conglomerate that characterizes our postmodernity. The theoretical link between the two meanings can generate a postcolonial critique and an intercultural analysis of our multicultural metropolis, exposed to differences and multiple identifications. At the same time, the metropolitan condition shows us how the contact between the differences is now intra-cultural and no longer inter-cultural, proposing a political rewrite of Intercultural Pedagogy as a plural and materialistic Differences Pedagogy, able to recognize the characteristics of struggle for…
Biotechnologies for identification of microorganisrns colonizing aerosol and surfaces of works of art in indoor environrnents
2012
Biological deterioration of organic and inorganic objects is a compIex process involving a relevant number of microbi al species. Particularly. fungi é1nd bacteria, wide spread in biosphere environments, are the main microorganisms related to the biodeterioration o[ cultural property. Moreover, complex microbial communities can relcase, in indoor environments, metabolic products or other airborne particles that may be detrimenral for human health, In order lo identify the components of microbial populations colonizing surfaces of works o[ art and/ or dispersed in thc aerosol of confìned/semi-confined environments, a molecular approach was laken. Samples were collected by non-destructive tec…
Serological and molecular identification of Legionella spp. isolated from water and surrounding air samples in Italian healthcare facilities
2016
Abstract Background Legionella is an intracellular microorganism living in natural and artificial aquatic environments. Although its transmission to humans is linked to the inhalation of contaminated aerosols, there is no validated air sampling method for the control and prevention of the disease. The aim of the present study was to provide more information on the distribution of Legionella spp. in indoor environments and to determine whether the same Legionella strains are isolated from air and water samples. Methods Ten healthcare facilities located in seven regions of Italy were enrolled. The serological typing of Legionella spp. from water samples and the surrounding air by active and p…
Narrativas Híbridas Decoloniales de mujeres colombianas migradas/residentes en Valencia
2015
A partir de los conceptos básicos del pensamiento decolonial Latinoamericano, se plantea la Militancia epistémica/académica como herramienta para la producción de conocimientos situados a través de las Narrativa Hibridas Decoloniales. Ésta producción de conocimiento se fundamenta en la intersección entre teoría crítica feminista (Haraway, 1995),feminismo decolonial (Lugones, 2008; Espinosa, 2009), planteamientos de la modernidad/colonialidad (Castro-Gómez, 2000, 2007; Grosfoguel, 2003, 2008; Mignolo, 2003, 2009) y diferentes metodologías cualitativas (Balasch y Montenegro, 2003; Biglia y Bonet, 2009) y un análisis cualitativo (IAP, entrevistas en profundidad, historias de vida y produccione…
Influenza del coefficiente di poisson sul comportamento in compressione di colonne composte acciaio-calcestruzzo a sezione circolare
2009
In the paper an analytical model able to predict the whole compressive response of stub CFT subjected to uniaxial compression is presented and discussed. Cases examined re-ferred to member with circular cross-section having length 400 mm and diameter ranging be-tween 88.9 and 457 mm and wall thickness between 6 and 8 mm. Two steel grades of 275 and 460 MPa yielding stress were examined and four concrete grades were investigated (20, 28, 40 and 45 MPa). The proposed model take into account of the variable confined pressures exercised by steel wall on concrete core and of the biaxial state of stresses induced in steel wall. The model was verified both in term of load-shortening curves with da…
