El final de la aljama de los judios de Burriana
1990
This article completes previous studies on the Jewry of Burriana. Nineteen new documents from the Archives of the Kingdom of Valencia are published here. After a short introduction about its origins, the problems and vicissitudes of this aljama during the 15th century, particularly in its last years, are analyzed in detail. Con este artículo se completan estudios anteriores sobre la judería de Burriana; se utilizan diecinueve documentos nuevos de los Archivos del reino de Valencia. Después de un breve prólogo acerca de sus orígenes, se analizan detalladamente los problemas y vicisitudes de esta aljama durante el siglo XV, especialmente en sus últimos años.
An Almost Unknown Literature: Catalan Language Writers in Valencia's Kingdom in the Early Modern Age (1500-1800)
2009
This essay provides an overview of literary production in Catalan in the Kingdom of Valencia during the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, an extensive period of time that has been described as "decadent" on account of the pressure of Castilian and the relative neglect by Valencians of their own language in favor of that of the Hispanic monarchy. However, recent research has revealed the survival of autochthonous literature, which, up until now, has been little-studied.
Las migraciones coloniales del Caribe a Estados Unidos y Europa Occidental : colonialidades diferenciadas en cuatro centros del sistema-mundo / Colon…
2017
Resumen: Este artículo compara cuatro migraciones caribeñas hacia las cuatro metrópolis que dominan el Caribe hoy. Se trata de las migraciones desde territorios no-independientes del Caribe: desde Martinica/Guadalupe hacia Francia, Puerto Rico hacia los Estados Unidos, Surinam/Caribe Holandés hacia Holanda y Caribe Británico hacia el Reino Unido. El artículo no solamente compara los procesos de emigración sino también los procesos de incorporación al llegar a las cuatro metrópolis. La comparación nos da una idea fundamental acerca de las diferencias entre estas metrópolis en términos de ciudadanía, mito fundacional de nación, racismo, y política pública hacia las minorías racializadas.Palab…
“Narrative Museums” and Curators’ Rights: The Protection of a Museum Exhibition and Its Scenario under Polish Law
2020
Since at least the 1990s, museums have expanded to cover a variety of societal functions, often enabling inclusive and participatory spaces for critical dialogue about the past and the future, and bridging together various narratives and cultural experiences, contributing to social cohesion and reconciliation. The new functions of museums, involving novel technological forms of display and communication, pose several legal questions concerning the management of such institutions, their resources, and exhibitions, including issues of copyright and other intellectual property rights. While referring to a recent case concerning an alleged infringement of the moral rights of the authors of the …
How Costly are Debt Crises?
2010
The aim of this paper is to assess the short- and medium-term impact of debt crises on GDP. Using an unbalanced panel of 154 countries from 1970 to 2008, the paper shows that debt crises produce significant and long-lasting output losses, reducing output by about 10 percent after eight years. The results also suggest that debt crises tend to be more detrimental than banking and currency crises. The significance of the results is robust to different specifications, identification and endogeneity checks, and datasets.
Prasa polskiej emigracji politycznej w Wielkiej Brytanii wobec protestów robotników w kraju w czerwcu 1976 roku
2016
Strajki i demonstracje w Polsce, do których doszło 25 czerwca 1976 r. odbiły się żywym echem wśród emigracji w Wielkiej Brytanii. W artykule przedstawiono opinie i oceny emigracyjnych polityków oraz publicystów dotyczące przyczyn, przebiegu i konsekwencji czerwcowych protestów w kraju.
DNA polymeraseθ up-regulation is associated with poor survival in breast cancer, perturbs DNA replication, and promotes genetic instability
2010
“Replicative stress” is one of the main factors underlying neoplasia from its early stages. Genes involved in DNA synthesis may therefore represent an underexplored source of potential prognostic markers for cancer. To this aim, we generated gene expression profiles from two independent cohorts (France,n= 206; United Kingdom,n= 117) of patients with previously untreated primary breast cancers. We report here that among the 13 human nuclear DNA polymerase genes, DNA Polymerase θ (POLQ) is the only one significantly up-regulated in breast cancer compared with normal breast tissues. Importantly,POLQup-regulation significantly correlates with poor clinical outcome (4.3-fold increased risk of de…
Origin of the integrin-mediated signal transduction. Functional studies with cell cultures from the sponge Suberites domuncula
1999
Sponges (phylum Porifera) represent the phylogenetically oldest metazoan animals. Recently, from the marine sponge Geodia cydonium a first cDNA encoding a putative integrin receptor molecule was isolated. In the present study basic functional experiments have been conducted to test the hypothesis that in sponges integrin polypeptides also function as adhesion molecules and as outside-in signaling molecules. The sponge Suberites domuncula has been used for the experiments because from this sponge only has a cell culture been established. Here we report that aggregation factor (AF)-mediated cell-cell adhesion is blocked by the RGDS peptide which is known to interact with beta integrin. Both R…
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from migratory birds in Southern Norway
2010
Abstract Background Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) are the causative agent for Lyme borreliosis (LB), the most common tick-borne disease in the northern hemisphere. Birds are considered important in the global dispersal of ticks and tick-borne pathogens through their migration. The present study is the first description of B. burgdorferi prevalence and genotypes in Ixodes ricinus ticks feeding on birds during spring and autumn migration in Norway. Methods 6538 migratory birds were captured and examined for ticks at Lista Bird Observatory during the spring and the autumn migration in 2008. 822 immature I. ricinus ticks were collected from 215 infested birds. Ticks were investigated f…
BORRELIA BURGDORFERI SENSU LATO DETECTED IN SKIN OF NORWEGIAN MOUNTAIN HARES (LEPUS TIMIDUS) WITHOUT SIGNS OF DISSEMINATION
2011
The mountain hare (Lepus timidus) population in southern Norway appears to be in decline. Necropsy and laboratory examinations of 36 hares found dead or diseased during 2007-2009 in Vest- and Aust-Agder counties showed that disease and deaths were attributed to multiple causes, with no specific etiology emerging as a cause for population decline. To investigate whether Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) infection is associated with mortality in mountain hares, tissues and ticks collected from hares were investigated for infection with the spirochete. Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. DNA was not detected in samples from internal organs, whereas Borrelia afzelii, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.…
