Japāņu detektīvromānu žanrs: Nacionālās identitātes attēlojums Edogava Ranpō darbos (1884-1965)

2021

Bachelor thesis “Japanese Detective Fiction Genre: Representation of National Identity in the Works of Edogawa Ranpō (1984-1965)” reveals the question of how Japanese detective fiction, being one of the most popular genres in 20th century’s Japan, depicted the realities of the inter-war period with the help of writer and critic Edogawa Ranpō. The history of Japanese detective literature dates back to the late 19th century, within the time of general modernization. Until that period, most people lived in tiny cities, worked and communicated in restrained circles, knowing each person personally. But with the rise in industrial enterprises, more and more people have started moving to cities su…

Dallo sdoganamento alla rottamazione? Narrazioni alternative sul dialetto nella linguistica italiana (2000-2015)

2016

Dall’inizio del nuovo secolo, in seno alla linguistica italiana, si è andata sentendo sempre più forte l’esigenza di riflettere sulle sorti del dialetto, sulle sue funzioni, sullo statuto epistemologico della disciplina che lo studia, sulla definizione della sua stessa nozione. In questo intervento intendiamo (ri)assumere le diverse prese di posizione ruotanti attorno a questi temi servendoci del concetto di ‘narrazione’, assai ricorrente nel linguaggio politico e massmediatico contemporaneo, che servirà da filo conduttore del ragionamento. A nostro avviso è, infatti, utile leggere in termini di racconto le diverse (ma non per questo opposte) interpretazioni che, nel periodo considerato, ha…

Mast cells promote homeostasis by limiting endothelin-1-induced toxicity

2004

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a 21-amino-acid peptide, derived from vascular endothelial cells, with potent vasoconstrictor activity. ET-1 has been implicated in diverse physiological or pathological processes, including the vascular changes associated with sepsis. However, the factors that regulate ET-1-associated toxicity during bacterial infections, or in other settings, are not fully understood. Both the pathology associated with certain allergic and autoimmune disorders, and optimal host defence against bacterial and parasitic infections are mediated by mast cells. In vitro, mast cells can produce ET-1 (ref. 11), undergo ET-1-dependent and endothelin-A receptor (ET(A))-dependent activation, a…

Criminal systematic and limits of Proposals Functionalists ( Weightings About Warranties , Citizenship and Human Rights )

2016

Make a critique of functionalism means looking at the history of the construction of the penal systems. It is observed that the rigor of analysis is something that is imposed when we have a system as a tool work. It is essential for that what now arises in legal and criminal terms sees as the study of criminal law should be increasingly precise and also closer to the idea of human dignity. It will also be built a criticism for the two doctrines that have changed the face of the first systematic, designed in the nineteenth, which will allow us to see more accurately what can, or even should, be changed. One cannot help but praise the normativism, especially what received the indelible streng…

Data from: On the origin of mongrels: evolutionary history of free-breeding dogs in Eurasia

2015

Although a large part of the global domestic dog population is free-ranging and free-breeding, knowledge of genetic diversity in these free-breeding dogs (FBDs) and their ancestry relations to pure-breed dogs is limited, and the indigenous status of FBDs in Asia is still uncertain. We analyse genome-wide SNP variability of FBDs across Eurasia, and show that they display weak genetic structure and are genetically distinct from pure-breed dogs rather than constituting an admixture of breeds. Our results suggest that modern European breeds originated locally from European FBDs. East Asian and Arctic breeds show closest affinity to East Asian FBDs, and they both represent the earliest branching…

Impact of wage penalty on mobility return of French PhDs

2015

International audience; Expatriation of higher-education graduates raises much concern in many countries often in conjunction with talk about the brain drain. It supposedly entails a risk of losing the skills required for a competitive economy. The issue is all the more acute for PhD graduates, who are expected to play a major part in the knowledge economy. However, questions arise as to the causes of such mobility and its consequences for young graduates' individual career paths.

Dolci e Doglio, differenti maieutiche territoriali nell'esperienza meridionale

2009

Il testo mette a confronto due personaggi particolarmente significativi nella costruzione delle vicende del Sud negli anni ’50 e ’60, Carlo Doglio e Danilo Dolci. Si vuole cercare di capire quali rapporti si svilupparono trai due intellettuali nel periodo della loro collaborazione e quali matrici culturali ispiravano il loro operato.

Animals-assisted therapy: A brief review

2018

In rehabilitative setting, the presence of animals can be considered as an important stimulus for verbal and social communication, and for mood regulation. Interaction with an animal is beneficial for children's development and numerous psychological tests have revealed that growing up with pets has a beneficial effect on children's self-esteem and self-confidence, can improve empathy, a sense of responsibility and cognitive development, as well as social status within the peer group.

The never-ending story of geologically ancient DNA: was the model plantArabidopsisthe source of Miocene Dominican amber?

2013

Studies characterizing geologically ancient DNA in plants are rare, and all have reportedly obtained plastid DNA sequences from Miocene fossils in a remarkable state of preservation. Recently, a group made the extraordinary claim of having amplified a geologically ancient Miocene plastid DNA fragment (the rbcL gene) from Dominican amber nuggets, and the organismal source of this DNA was identified as Hymenaea protera (Fabaceae), the plant that produced the fossilized Dominican amber. Assuming that the Miocene sequence is error-free, reanalysis of the sequence indicates it is probably a technical artifact or an rbcL pseudogene. Furthermore, BLAST similarity searches and phylogenetic analyses…
